Chapter 524: A Chance Encounter with Eric
If it weren't for the reporter next to him, Pei Tingyuan would definitely go back with the sentence "As the saying goes, a good dog doesn't get in the way", but now the two companies that have experienced turmoil, the person in charge needs to appear in the public eye with a positive image.
A fake smile appeared on his face, "Hello, Mr. Lu." β
Lu Yang said: "Are you interested in attending our L.X's opening party?"
Pei Tingyuan glanced at the reception venue of L.X Company, the decoration was extremely luxurious, but there were few guests at the scene, and it looked very bleak, even reporters would not stay in this venue, but Lu Yang didn't mind.
"Nope. Pei Tingyuan was silent and answered this question with his mouth.
"......" Lu Yang smiled dismally and glanced at Qiao Xihe.
Qiao Xihe didn't speak, and immediately shook his finger-interlocking hand with Pei Tingyuan.
In Lu Yang's view, this picture was extremely dazzling, he looked away and said, "Then I won't bother the two of you." With that, he got out of the way.
Pei Tingyuan nodded politely at him and walked over with Qiao Xihe.
Rex was undisguised, gave Lu Yang a sneering look, and then walked forward with a smile on his lips.
Lu Yang paid attention to their backs with the corner of his eye, and his fists clenched secretly.
Qiao Xihe and his entourage came to the banquet venue of Marg Winery, and the guests gathered at this time, which was much more lively than L.X's cocktail party. It seems that despite the good impression that L.X has made in the minds of customers and netizens, local entrepreneurs are reluctant to deal with such a rival, especially since ChΓ’teau Margo has a greater reputation.
Rex did not bother to introduce the identities of Qiao Xihe and Pei Tingyuan to every guest, and when everyone learned that the jewelry was designed by the young Mrs. Pei, they praised it endlessly, and even some people on the scene wanted to cooperate with her.
Pei Tingyuan whispered: "Okay, now Qiaoqiao is much more popular than me." β
"It's the name of the P.L Group, and we both have to make money!" Qiao Xihe said beautifully.
Pei Tingyuan clenched Qiao Xihe's hand and said with a smile: "If it is really husband and wife, its benefits will be golden." β
"Uh-huh-" Qiao Xihe replied in a light tone: "I'm not afraid of anything." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, which made Rex, who had not had a female companion with him recently, extremely jealous.
After lingering in the flowers for many years, he suddenly felt melancholy, he didn't want to live in such a mess anymore, and wanted to find a partner who could be with him sincerely for a lifetime, but he found that this was such a difficult thing.
After thinking about it, he deliberately walked beside Qiao Xihe, but within a second, he saw Pei Tingyuan and Qiao Xihe quickly change positions.
He coughed twice, deliberately ignored Pei Tingyuan, and said to Qiao Xihe: "Xihe, we have known each other for so many years, could you please introduce me to a girlfriend?"
Pei Tingyuan sneered: "Mr. Durand will lack a girlfriend?"
Rex stretched out his arms and looked left and right, "Didn't you notice I didn't have a female companion today?"
"Nope. Pei Tingyuan replied crisply.
"......" Rex was speechless, it turned out that he was also ignored by Pei Tingyuan, this man's possessiveness and jealousy are really terrifying......
Qiao Xihe looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "I'll help you keep an eye on it, or you can tell me first, what kind of girl you like." β
"......" Rex was speechless again, he couldn't be beaten in front of Pei Tingyuan, and said, "I like a girl like Xihe, right?" I'm afraid that today's lively drinking party will turn into a murder scene.
"It seems that you are very demanding, huh?" Qiao Xihe joked.
Rex waved his hand, "Just close your eyes." β
"That's it......" Qiao Xihe touched his chin, "This condition seems simple, but it's actually the most difficult to complete, Rex, you still say something specific, right?"
Rex said, "There are no other requirements. β
Qiao Xihe couldn't cry or laugh, "You let me think about it and see if there is a suitable candidate...... But the girls I know aren't right either, so don't expect too much from me. β
"Hmm. Rex nodded, "If the matter is done, I will definitely give you a red envelope for no one." β
Qiao Xihe looked expectant, "I'm going to work hard!"
At this moment, new guests arrived, and Rex gestured to them, and then strode over to greet them.
Pei Tingyuan and Qiao Xihe went to find Zhao Chuan and them.
When men get together, they always unconsciously talk about work, and it is clear that today is a relaxing drinking party on a day off, but when it comes to work, it becomes serious.
Qiao Xihe didn't have much interest in such a topic, and then looked at Gu Yanxiang, who was the heir of the Gu family's enterprise, and elegantly raised his wine glass and talked with Zhao Chuan and Pei Tingyuan.
This is the so-called interlacing like a mountain, she didn't feel unhappy, and Pei Tingyuan didn't forget her in the process of talking, and made some small movements from time to time to make her happy.
Because she didn't have anything to say, she ate and drank a little more, she asked the waiter about the direction of the bathroom, said hello to Pei Tingyuan, and walked over alone.
Halfway through, she almost collided with a man who had come around the corner, and when she looked closely, it was Eric.
"It's you!" she exclaimed, with some surprise.
Eric was also happy to see Qiao Xihe, and opened his arms to hug him politely, "It's nice to see you healthy, Xihe." β
"Thank you for taking such good care of me before. Qiao Xihe said embarrassedly: "Last time in the supermarket parking lot, I was in a hurry, I didn't fail to say hello to you, I'm really sorry......"
"It's okay," Eric shook his head understandingly, "Nodding is considered a greeting, so Xihe doesn't have to take it to heart." By the way, why are you here?"
Qiao Xihe said: "My husband and I came to attend the reception at Marg Winery. What about you?"
"Coincidentally, so did I. β
"Huh?" Qiao Xihe blinked.
"My parents like to drink Margot wines, so I come here when I have time, and I heard that you designed the jewelry, so I'm going to come over to see your creations," says Eric. β
"Hope didn't disappoint you. β
Eric smiled: "How come, Xihe, you are a very talented girl." β
Qiao Xihe listened and smiled slightly.
Eric said: "The venue is a little noisy at this time, Xihe and I will go to the quiet balcony to sit together?"
Qiao Xihe said: "I'm sorry, I need to go to the bathroom to make up for it." β
"Then ......" Eric felt that Qiao Xihe's words did not explicitly refuse his proposal to go to the balcony, "I'll wait for you here?"
"Good. Qiao Xihe walked quickly to the women's bathroom.
Eric looked back, looked at her twice, then reached for his phone and sent out a text message at a rapid pace.
