Chapter 961 Drinking
Although the banquet has begun, the follow-up guests are still in an endless stream. However, the people who came basically had the following characteristics: first, they all represented some people who were on an equal footing with Li Lao, and secondly, they were basically the direct juniors of those people.
After all, today is not Li Lao's birthday, but only his third son, otherwise he should have attended and received in person. Therefore, those people will respect their own identity, and they will never come too early, but they will never be too late to slack off. Its sense of proportion is one-minded, which is also one of the rules of this circle.
And these people must have received different specifications, and they were arranged together in the place closest to the main table. The young people at Jing Jian's table were a little accustomed to this scene, but they also had envy in their eyes. Cao Xi also kept introducing in Jing Jian's ear: "...... Did you see this? It's the Dong Ge they just mentioned. Oh, you should know, it's your Huaqing classmate. ...... This person is working in the commission, he should be in politics in the future, and the future is limitless...... She is Sister Tingting, the ...... of the Chu family."
Jing Jian suddenly felt two murderous glances from the adjacent table. Peeked at it, and found that it was Zhao Xia. Jing Jian's neck shrank, and he immediately entered the turtle stream. Women have no reason to talk about at this time, and it is better to make less trouble with themselves.
At this time, Jing Jian was quite grateful for such a corner, as long as he didn't keep quiet, he could hardly find himself in trouble. However, he still wondered, this Zhao Xia and Chu Yueting were like fire and water, how could they pinch each other as soon as they met?
However, things often don't go your way. Halfway through the banquet, Li Lao finally came out to toast and thank him, after saying a few words similar to "welcome". He suddenly shouted, "Where's that kid from the Jing family, get out of here for me and toast everyone for me!"
Jing Jian could only stand up hard, and Cao Xi and the others were all stunned, they didn't expect that the one next to him was the protagonist today.
On such an occasion, not just anyone can replace a toast, and Li Lao has obvious intentions. First of all, of course, it is very important, and there is that kind of "grand launch" flavor; secondly, it means that Jing Jian is a member of the Li family, that is, the so-called labeling on him, indicating that the Li family is covering Jing Jian, and Jing Jian's future behavior can represent the Li family, as the descendant of the Li family, and others should not bother and so on.
In any era, talent is the most important. There are fast hands, slow hands, no matter how you say it, Jing Jian has the qualifications that need to be personally coaxed by Li Lao.
This is actually like Chu Yueting's mother approaching Jing Jian and saying, "Are you qualified?" and like Feng Biaoting said at the time, "You can drink tea with me first"? This is a kind of proof of status. In fact, real life is not like some content at all, for any force, the more people you envelop, the better, even if you can't envelop it, try not to offend. Never fight the small and the old. The thirst for talent is endless.
Of course, Jing Jian didn't dislike this kind of envelopment. First of all, even if he doesn't want to rely on the Li family, he will still be labeled with the Li family. The father-son blood relationship with Jing Baisheng is always inseparable. And in a way, Li Laoken took the initiative to cover, which is also a kind of kindness.
Coming to Li Lao, Li Lao patted Jing Jian's shoulder with a smile and introduced to the following: "Hehe, since you call me grandpa, then I have to take care of it." This bastard boy has never taken things seriously, everyone listen, if you hear about what bad things he has done outside in the future, tell me, I will never cover up this kid. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to let you get tired. Jing Jian smiled politely.
Everyone below understood it, and immediately raised Jing Jian's status to another level in their hearts. "Calling grandpa," isn't that taking in a godgrandson? And what kind of discipline do you say? This is clearly a cover-up, right? Those guests began to talk to each other and began to inquire about Jing Jian's origin.
And Wu Yaodong was also shocked when he saw Jing Jian, and then smiled dumbly: "That's not, that's not ......"
Xiao Zi on the side glanced at Chu Yueting, who had an ugly face, and hurriedly kicked Wu Yaodong under the table, Wu Yaodong suddenly woke up: "Yes, yes, who is he? ”
"Dongzi, be careful to cut you. A few people who knew about the past between Jing Jian and Chu Yueting hurriedly stopped. And Chu Yueting endured her calmness, picked up the juice in front of her and took a sip.
A few people who didn't care about themselves had strange expressions. There is a good show to watch, no matter why Li Lao values Jing Jian, he will not have no background, right? And the person who was abandoned by the Chu family back then is now a guest of the Li family, and life is really like a play!
However, there will be no shortage of eight women, and two of them began to speculate: "Where is this person? Could it be those who have just been transferred to the capital?"
"Probably not, right? It's all called grandpa, it should be the old descendant of Li Lao. ”
"Eh, do you think it will be someone who has just climbed to the Li family?"
"It won't be that high, will it?"
"It's possible. The Li family's real age is about the same, maybe the two of them have confirmed their relationship? Isn't the grandson-in-law also called grandpa?"
"Ahem, ahem. Chu Yueting finally couldn't help it and squirted out a mouthful of juice. At this time, she was like sitting on pins and needles, and such an occasion must not be thrown away, but leaving it was even more like a torment.
......
Jing Jian accompanied Li Lao and began a table toast. After the main table, I came to Chu Yueting's table. He knew that there was still Zhao Xia sharpening his knife behind him, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and said to the people at the table: "Haha, Dongzi, oh, and Xiao Chu, our old classmates are making trouble, right?
What made Li Lao strange was that it seemed to be cold in an instant, and everyone was secretly glancing at Chu Yueting. Chu Yueting's expression finally returned to normal, she stood up suddenly, took an empty wine glass and poured it full: "Yes, they are all old classmates, you have a cup, I have a cup, it's done." ”
After saying this, Chu Yueting didn't wait for Jing Jian's answer at all, she raised her head and drank it all. Jing Jian was so frightened that he wanted to stretch out his hand to stop her, did he know that Chu Yueting's alcohol consumption was not very good, but don't drink her badly? But just after such a hesitation, Chu Yueting was already in her stomach with a glass of wine, and then she was choked and coughed repeatedly, and even her tears had flowed into two lines.
The old man Li on the side was old and refined, and he finally felt that something was wrong, and understood that there must be something wrong between Jing Jian and Chu Yueting. But it's better to be vague now, so she smiled and eased her cheeks: "Tingting, just have fun, don't drink too much and hurt your body." Otherwise, your old Chu can't spare me. Hahaha. ”
Chu Yueting wiped the tears on her face and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, Grandpa Li, I just drank too hard just now." Actually, I ...... I'm glad!"
