Chapter 100: Princes, Princesses, and Knights

Jinding Hotel is located at the mouth of the tunnel of East Yan'an Road, Pudong, next to Century Avenue, in the core area of Pudong - the center of Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone, east of the prosperous scene of Pudong New District, west of SH and the elegant scenery of Huangpu River, south of Pudong Zhangyang Road Commercial and Trade Zone, north of 100,000 square meters of central green space.

The designer of the Golden Dome Building is a well-known ** design firm in New York, USA. With innovative design ideas, the designer skillfully combines the world's latest architectural trends with traditional Chinese architectural styles, and successfully designs world-class, cross-century classics, which have become a milestone in Shanghai-style architecture and have become a famous landmark building in SH.

The revolving restaurant on the 88th floor is one of the best viewing spots in SH, with a glass curtain wall with a wide view of the cityscape on both sides of the Huangpu River and the magnificent scenery of the Yangtze River estuary. You can enjoy the wonderful sunrise and sunset, and the ever-changing blue sky and white clouds.

Watching the night view here is a kind of enjoyment, and the Bund, known as the International Architecture Exposition, is brilliant and beautiful. In the distance, the lights on the elevated roads and bridges are like colorful lights, competing with the stars and moon. This situation makes Cheng Xiaoyu feel like he is in Penglai Wonderland.

Cheng Xiaoyu held a plate, which contained a little old Shanghai salted pork rice, a few pieces of vegetarian duck, a little crab roe tofu and a few pieces of braised pork. There is also a cardboard box at his feet.

Because today's banquet is not only Xu Qinning's birthday, but also a gathering of SH business celebrities, and even more SH Mayor Gu Shitong is also here, Jinding Hotel naturally does not dare to slack off, and the buffet chefs are all transferred to the hotel chef to take charge, and any dish has been kept improving.

Obviously, this is useless, most people don't come to eat, at most they just hold a goblet and talk to other people.

There are many people of the same age as Cheng Xiaoyu. So Cheng Xiaoyu is not the only one who eats at the table, but he usually holds a plate and puts one or two pieces of food, and tastes it elegantly in small bites, and there is no scruple about eating like Cheng Xiaoyu at all.

It's not that Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't know how to pay attention to his image, but he doesn't care at all, in his opinion, the purpose of making money is to live the life he wants, not to show his wealth and deliberately adapt to the so-called suzhì of the upper class.

For example, in his previous life, he was very disgusted with the Western food etiquette, with a knife in his right hand and a fork in his left hand. When seated, keep your body upright and your elbows not on the table. At first, he also thought that eating Western food was a very elegant thing, but later he found that people's vegetarian zhì and elegance have nothing to do with whether you hold a fork in your right hand or a fork in your left hand.

And the time that touched him the most was that he once went to a famous Western restaurant with a real rich man, and the waiter prepared knives and forks for him, but he asked the waiter to bring a pair of chopsticks. The waiter was stunned for a while, the first time someone asked for chopsticks in a Western restaurant, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Later, the restaurant manager saw that it was a character who often made covers in financial magazines, so he hurriedly went outside to buy a pair of chopsticks for him to use.

Cheng Xiaoyu was puzzled and asked the rich man who met him by chance why he didn't care about Western food etiquette, and the rich man replied to him that the rules were prepared for those in the world, and people like them were the rules themselves. Holding power and money is to do whatever he wants, he is not used to the way of foreign devils, if a meal does not make him happy, then what is the point of him trying to climb to his current position?

After listening to this, Cheng Xiaoyu, who used to have a bit of a petty bourgeois tendency, is no longer pretending, and there is nothing more important in life than making yourself comfortable. Even if you pretend to be noble in front of others, you can't change the fact that you are a ** silk behind your back.

Cheng Xiaoyu has an open mind, and in fact, no one pays attention to his insignificant role. Of course, Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't care about these so-called upper-class people who have nothing to do with his world.

Cheng Xiaoyu ate happily, but Xu Qinning was not happy at all, Gu Xuewei surrounded her like a fly and offered his courtesy. In fact, it stands to reason that an excellent young man like Gu Xuewei should not arouse her disgust in any way, but in fact, no matter how outstanding Xu Qinning is, as long as she pursues her, she will be bored.

She didn't know why, she once wondered if she was lace, otherwise why would she like Su Yuxi so much, but she didn't have the impulse when she slept with Su Yuxi. Yes, it is to use the word impulsive to describe it, she once asked her friend who was T, what would you do if you slept with a beautiful woman, and T replied, I will do whatever a man wants.

This made Xu Qinning puzzled again, she only touched her chest at most, and she didn't have any further impulses. This shows that she is not yet a lace, and of course it may be that she has not fully evolved herself.

But she has never met a boy she likes, and as long as a boy chases her, she will be disgusted, which makes her tangled again.

So when Cheng Xiaoyu told her that he liked the same sex, Xu Qinning was immediately full of closeness to Cheng Xiaoyu. This is also one of the reasons why Xu Qinning has always been particularly affectionate and invisible to Cheng Xiaoyu. Su Yuxi is an important reason, and this is also important.

Gu Xuewei is particularly fond of Xu Qinning, her family background is full of good looks, and her body score is even more explosive, it is said that her temper is a little worse, but he believes that he can train her very well. The little girl in the second year of high school, isn't he just a little serious?

However, Miss Xu didn't have the slightest interest in Gu Xuewei, looking at Gu Xuewei who was talking eloquently in front of her, Xu Qinning was very impatient, and could only force a smile. Before coming, her father had warned her not to mess around, and Gu Shitong and Gu Xuewei were the pig's feet of this banquet.

And her birthday is nothing more than an excuse? Her birthday will not arrive until next week, and it is only to match the schedules of these big names that it has been advanced to today.

Thinking of this, Xu Qinning's heart was a little more troubled, and she didn't know what Gu Xuewei said in her ear.

At this time, Xu Jiacheng and Gu Shitong walked over with smiles on their faces.

Xu Qinning obediently shouted, "Uncle Gu, hello." ”

Gu Xuewei also shouted with a smile, "Uncle Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are getting younger and younger, and you look much more handsome than my father." ”

Although Xu Jiacheng is in his fifties, he is quite well maintained, and he looks dignified and dignified, and he is in the prime of life.

Gu Shitong is Gu Xueren's second uncle, that is, the second son of the current prime minister, and Xu Jiacheng will not attach so much importance to the identity of SH mayor alone. Assuming that it is also a beautiful thing to be able to form a family with the Gu family, although Xu Qinning is only 17 years old, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, but with the huge inertia of the two forces, many things will fall into place, not to mention that Gu Xuewei seems to be very fond of Xu Qinning.

Of course, Gu Shitong is also very satisfied with Xu Qinning, of course, the satisfaction here mainly comes from Xu Jiacheng.

Xu Jiacheng patted Gu Xuewei's shoulder affectionately and said, "Xiaowei, you have time to play with Ningling, the door of our house is open for you at any time, she has a more wild temperament, you can pass on more poetry and book temperament to her." Let's see if you can make her quieter. ”

Gu Xuewei smiled shyly, "Uncle Xu, I don't think what you said is right, I think Qin Ning is too quiet, I kept chatting with her just now, and she didn't talk much." But I like her very much. ”

Xu Jiacheng and Gu Shitong laughed at the same time, looking at the pair of young people, just like a future son-in-law and daughter-in-law, Gu Shitong looked at Xu Qinning and said, "Then we won't disturb you young people to communicate, Xiao Ning, you can also go to our house to play when you have time, your uncle is not there, and your aunt is always there." ”

Xu Qin's promise without smiling at the lemon peel had a feeling of being sold by his father as a commodity to be sold, and he didn't want to disguise Gu Xuewei, and when Xu Jiacheng and Gu Shitong turned around, they said to Gu Xuewei with a straight face, "I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable, I'll miss it first." ”

Gu Xuewei only said that Xu Qinning was really uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked with concern, "Where is it uncomfortable?" Do I need to take medication? ”

Xu Qinning scolded Gu Xuewei 10,000 times in her heart, ** should go to take medicine! Your whole family is going to take medicine, but there is a forced smile on your face and you say, "Recently, I have been nauseous and want to vomit." Don't know why! ”

Gu Xuewei suddenly felt that five thunders hit the top, and he didn't like Xu Qinning like that girl! After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Is that an upset stomach?" ”

Xu Qinning pretended to frown, covered his chest and said, "It shouldn't be, I still like to eat sour recently." ”

Gu Xuewei heard this sentence and could only let Xu Qinning go away, and his heart was mixed, although he believed it too much, but there was no doubt that this was Xu Qinning's indirect expression that he was not interested in him, which made Gu Xuewei, who had always been smooth, feel devastated.

Xu Qinning was afraid that Gu Xuewei would still be entangled, so he quickly walked to the center of the hall and searched for Cheng Xiaoyu's figure everywhere. When she saw him eating at the dining table by herself, Xu Qinning couldn't help but smile, among so many hypocritical and pretentious people, there was another one that was real, which made her feel warm.
