Lu Yao didn't know whether today's experience was lucky or unlucky. There were more than 20 million people in Night City, but only this room was full of people. Almost all of them she didn't want to see.
She tried to hide herself behind the light. She was so low-key that she wished she could disappear, for fear of bumping into George Sheng's face, and even more afraid of... Ji Guanxin seeing her.
Fortunately, everyone exchanged greetings. Just sit on the sofa each. Ji Guanxin didn't look in her direction either. Lu Yao couldn't hide away even if she wanted to, because she had been arranged to be next to George Sheng.
On the left of George Sheng is Lu Yao. On the right is He Changlin, the boss of Zui Chunfeng, and on the right of He Changlin is Ji Guanxin. Sitting on Ji Guanxin's right was another beautiful woman.
After sitting down, He Changlin said with a smile: "My place is really full of glory today. I can invite you, Mr. Qiao and Mr. Ji, to come. Come, let me toast you with this cup first."
He Changlin took the initiative to raise his glass, and the beautiful woman next to Ji Guanxin poured him wine. Lu Yao saw this. He also leaned forward to pour wine for George Sheng.
After the three of them drank a glass of wine. He Changlin smiled and said: "Mr. Qiao and Mr. Ji are both my top members here, and they usually support and take care of them. Zui Chunfeng's business has always been good, and I will be the host today. You two will definitely have a great time."
After that, he looked at the princesses in the room and said loudly: "We have taken care of them. These are all distinguished guests."
The girls are either enchanting or innocent and cute, but no matter what, they try their best to please the sponsors around them. Except for Lu Yao, she was not in this industry, so she naturally couldn't learn from their "responsibility", and sitting next to her was George Sheng, and two people away was Ji Guanxin, so how could she make excuses? I really can’t even pretend.
She just lowered her gaze as much as possible, letting her wavy hair cover most of her face. After pouring the wine, she handed it to George Sheng beside her and whispered: "Brother Sheng, drink."
George Sheng took the wine glass without saying a word.
He Changlin smiled and said: "Mr. Qiao, our public relations here are famously top-notch in Night City. How about it? Does it satisfy you?"
As soon as these words came out, George Sheng's eyes turned to the left and fell on Lu Yao.
She sat next to him, unlike other women, very close to the benefactor next to her. There was more than half an arm's length between her and him, and she spoke little and was not bored.
George Sheng's pair of black eyes swept over Lu Yao's body, and finally landed on her face. Makeup can change a person's appearance, but it cannot change the shape of the face. She has a standard oval face, a plump forehead and a tapered chin, and her M-shaped lips are painted with dark red lipstick. She looks extremely charming under the dim light.
The bridge of her nose is straight, but it is not the kind of stiffness that can be seen at a glance as having been straightened. It is a straight but strangely soft arc, moving down from the middle of the eyes, and the tip of the nose is rounded.
Needless to say about the eyes, even if you lower your gaze slightly, you can still imagine the surprise when you raise your eyes.
With such an enamel doll that was so beautiful that it was almost impossible to find fault with it, George Sheng raised the corners of his lips slightly and said with a slight smile: "Mr. He's Drunk Spring Breeze has always been a 'golden house hiding a beauty'. Just take it out and it won't matter." It will be worse than female stars.”
He Changlin heard this and replied with a smile: "When it comes to female celebrities, no one here has more say than Mr. Ji."
As he said that, he looked at Ji Guanxin on the right again and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, do you think our public relations here are worse than the female celebrities under your company?"
Ji Guanxin had a habitual playful smile on his handsome face. He leaned on the sofa and deliberately didn't finish his words: "Then it depends on who is competing with whom."
He Changlin said: "Is this the one next to you?"
Sitting next to Ji Guanxin was a young woman wearing a white chiffon skirt. She had straight bangs and big, round eyes on her fair face. She looked innocent and cute.
Ji Guanxin is not someone who can easily get close to any woman. Taking advantage of such a good opportunity today, the woman boldly took Ji Guanxin's arm and said coquettishly: "Mr. Ji, do you think I look good?"
Ji Guanxin's expression did not change: "It looks good."
Lu Yao was sitting next to George Sheng. She didn't dare to stretch her neck to look at Ji Guanxin's other side. She only heard his voice.
Inexplicably angry, Lu Yao only said that none of these men were good, and all of them were motivated by lust.
"Do I look better or the new female star looks better?"
The woman next to Ji Guanxin looked up at him, her eyes constantly firing at him.
Ji Guanxin glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "There are so many new female stars, which one do you ask?"
The woman shook Ji Guanxin's arm and said angrily: "Am I not better-looking than them all?"
The smile on Ji Guanxin's face widened and he replied: "According to this, you should come to Xinrui to be a star. Why do you have to work hard here?"
The woman choked on Ji Guanxin and pouted, but did not speak immediately. On the contrary, He Changlin laughed and said, "Mr. Ji really loves to joke, and other girls are so teased by you that they can't speak anymore."
Ji Guanxin said: "If men aren't bad, women won't love them. I'm playing hard to get."
He Changlin said: "What a trick of playing hard to get, no wonder so many girls fall under your suit pants."
Ji Guanxin said: "Actually, it's not much. I'm not as lucky as you. There are so many beauties around me all day long."
He Changlin waved his hands and said with a smile: "I can't do it. I'm old. Not to mention that my wife at home is very careful. Even if it's not because of my appearance, no girl will take the initiative to embrace me. Unlike you and Mr. Qiao, A hero comes from a young man, not to mention a handsome young man.”
He Changlin was a well-rounded man, and he did not forget to bring George Sheng with him when chatting with Ji Guanxin.
George Sheng was different from Ji Guanxin. He didn't have many smiles on his face, and he spoke very little. If he hadn't known that his family had a big business, he would have thought he was just out to play and didn't dare to speak for fear of giving money.
Seeing George Sheng sitting there quietly and not interacting with Lu Yao, He Changlin winked at Lu Yao and then said: "Let's chat with Mr. Qiao for a while. Don't worry, Mr. Qiao is not married yet. No Someone will come to settle the score with you.”
He Changlin made a little joke, George Sheng smiled lightly, and the others laughed with him.
Lu Yao wanted to pour a glass of wine for George Sheng, but the glass was in George Sheng's hand and the wine was full, so she had to bite the bullet and whispered: "What do you want to play, Mr. Qiao?"
Lu Yao deliberately changed her voice, and the view in the private room was not good, so Ji Guanxin never looked in her direction from beginning to end. The key was that he never expected that Lu Yao would be here.
George Sheng opened his lips and said lightly: "Whatever."
Lu Yao didn't really know many things. After asking just now, she was afraid that George Sheng would ask for something she didn't know. But now that he said it casually, Lu Yao's mind went blank for three seconds.
She didn't know how to guess or warm up, but when George Sheng finished speaking, she didn't dare to hesitate. After a brief blank, she rushed to the shelf, and her slender hands had already touched the brand new poker on the table.
Taking out a dozen cards, she turned them face down and said to George Sheng, "You can pick any card."
George Sheng stretched out his hand and drew a card. Lu Yao took it and stood the poker up, with the back still facing her and the front facing George Sheng.
Two seconds later, Lu Yao said: "Is it the 7 of hearts?"
He Changlin answered on behalf of George Sheng. He raised his eyebrows and said, "So awesome?"
Lu Yao turned over the playing card, and it was indeed the 7 of hearts.
George Sheng smiled and said nothing, and He Changlin said: "I'll draw one."
Lu Yao took it in the same way, with her thumb on the bottom of the playing card and her middle finger on the top of the playing card, with the back facing herself and the front facing the direction of George Sheng and He Changlin.
"2 of Diamonds."
He Changlin's eyes were full of surprise: "It's amazing, how did you guess it?"
Lu Yao smiled lightly: "It's just a little trick."
He Changlin said to George Sheng, "Mr. Qiao, have you seen the secret behind this?"
George Shengda could tell from the first second Lu Yao picked up the playing cards that she was right, it was just a little trick.
She turned her back to herself and pinched the card gently with two fingers. The card was bent and the logo in the lower left corner could be seen from her direction.
This little trick was played by Jian Cheng Lizhan when Lu Yao was thirteen years old.
She used it to fool George Sheng because she was desperate.
Although George Sheng could see it at a glance, he didn't tell the truth. He just smiled and said, "How can she still play with her talent after telling her about it?"
He Changlin saw that George Sheng looked good, so he encouraged Lu Yao to continue: "Do you have any other special skills? Show them all."
Many people in the private room were already looking towards her, including the woman next to Ji Guanxin. Lu Yao was afraid that Ji Guanxin would also look at her. Based on their familiarity, he would probably be able to recognize her at a glance, let alone her makeup, even if she turned into ashes.
So Lu Yao deliberately leaned back and used George Sheng's tall body to block herself.
Nine playing cards were randomly drawn. She asked George Sheng to choose the one she liked, but don't tell her. She used her legs as a table and placed them in groups of three and three. Each time she picked up a group, she only asked George Sheng if he was among them. See the cards.
Many people came to look at it. Because they had never played it before, they didn’t know what Lu Yao would do in the end.
The only person in the private room was Ji Guanxin, who was leaning leisurely on the sofa without even turning his head. He is not interested in this kind of thing. He is here today just for He Changlin's sake. It is considered official business.
There was a brief silence around, and Ji Guanxin couldn't help but think about Lu Yao. It had been three days since the last time we saw each other in the hospital. She didn't go to work at the company, and he didn't know how she was doing.
Mak Ka Fai and Cheng Lin both said that a woman has to be coaxed. Is he being too hard on her
This idea just came up, but Ji Guanxin immediately gave it up. It's not that he is too tough on her, it's that she is tough. He wants to have a good relationship with her, but she is not good at it.
If she had spoken to him properly, not to mention softly, even if she had been a little pleasant, he wouldn't have had to be so angry.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a surprised voice coming from the left side: "Wow, that's amazing..."
Ji Guanxin looked to the left subconsciously, and just in time to catch up with He Changlin and George Sheng leaning forward at the same time, he saw an extremely familiar profile face. Although it was half obscured by big black curly hair,...
