Chapter 397: Celebration Banquet
When he was being searched around by a group of reporters, Chen Chufan took Han Xiaoxi and Su Xiuqing with his Qiuqiu, and under the protection of two bodyguards, he had already sneaked out of the concert, got into a business car that Kate had parked outside the square, and left the scene quickly.
Chen Chufan could guess the excitement of those media reporters at this time. Even to put it mildly, if he is willing to appear in front of those reporters at this time, even if he ridicules or even slaps his face in the face, those reporters can only bear it. But he didn't feel that way. He does need to make a break with the Grammys, with the esteemed Mr. President, but he'd rather save it for tomorrow's press conference.
And what he needs to do at this time is to thank these friends who have always supported him, even traveling thousands of miles to help him. Whether it is a friend of Julie School of Music, or Su Xiuqing and Han Xiaoxi, he is grateful. So as early as before the concert, he had people book a place in the best Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles and notified everyone. As soon as the performance ended, this group of young people who were not very old left the concert site in batches and rushed to the location told by Chen Chufan.
At this time, most of the people in the private room of the restaurant had already arrived, and a large round table full of wine and food was almost full, leaving only one empty seat. That's to leave a Lu Jia, because this product didn't need to go on stage, and it was also offstage, so it didn't meet everyone, but it didn't arrive until now. So they just sat there and talked, waiting.
On the small table in the corner of the box, Kate and Chen Chufan's two bodyguards had already eaten together.
"How did you do that?" Lu Jia, who had been late because he had not been able to get a taxi, had just walked into the box, and he didn't care about sitting in his seat, so he excitedly approached Chen Chufan's side and asked. He has always been the most active in eating, and he doesn't even bother to glance at the table full of food.
Naturally, he asked about the scene when Chen Chufan sang "Song of Life", which made the fans in the audience silent like hypnosis. He doesn't think that the music he arranged has so much magic, there is no doubt that it can only be Chen Chufan's singing skills.
However, Chen Chufan didn't care about answering, and Huang Yuanyuan on the side spoke impatiently.
"Okay, Chen Chufan was just pulled by the waiter in the restaurant to sign his name for a long time. I was dragged and interrogated by your gang of friends for a long time. You're good, and when you come and say this, are you tired! This table of dishes can't stop your mouth! If you want to talk about this, you will have time to talk about it in the future, and now is the celebration banquet, do you understand?! โ
It's not that she doesn't care about the topic. But after all, she has already seen Chen Chufan's talent in music, and she is more concerned about Chen Chufan's emotional problems at this time. She is friends with Su Xiuqing, so she naturally knows Su Xiuqing's feelings for Chen Chufan, and she also knows Han Xiaoxi's identity.
But Chen Chufan's words at the concert today made her feel that Su Xiuqing actually had a chance. People are selfish. will always unconsciously favor the people close to her, so she wants to knock Chen Chufan's thoughts on feelings on the side, rather than let Lu Jia waste the whole night discussing the concert that has passed.
And Huang Yuanyuan is definitely the existence of the eldest sister in front of Lu Jia, in a word, she is a mystery, a br/>
And after scolding Lu Jia, Huang Yuanyuan said to Chen Chufan very crisply: "I said classmate Xiao Chen." What you said at the concert just now was so sensational, didn't you express it at this celebration banquet? Aren't you going to toast us first? Xiuqing is in the limelight for you to let you out of this concert, tu is going to run off! โ
Huang Yuanyuan's blunt words made Chen Chufan subconsciously glance at Han Xiaoxi, who was sitting beside him. He didn't want to let Han Xiaoxi have any conflicts with a group of friends he knew in country M because of his friends' words. After the edification of Yang Tao and Ye Feng and a group of bad friends. Chen Chufan, who used to have a big emotional intelligence, has now become more delicate.
Xiaoxi's god is still normal, and there is nothing unpleasant. But Chen Chufan was still a little difficult. With experience, he really didn't know whether he should toast Su Xiuqing's first glass of wine alone in front of Han Xiaoxi. You must know that when he was at school, he invited guests to dinner after saving Chen Xi. The scene of several little girls fighting for wine is still fresh in his memory. He didn't want today's celebration banquet to become a scene of a few girls fighting for wine again.
Fortunately, without waiting for Chen Chufan to react, Su Xiuqing, who was sitting next to Han Xiaoxi, helped him speak.
"Okay Yuanyuan, the success of the concert is not only due to me! You can come to help Chen Chufan because of one thing. and Xiaoxi as Chen Chufan's girlfriend. I didn't go to class, so I went to country M to cheer Chen Chufan up, and I deserve Chen Chufan's good thanks! So this first glass of wine is still drunk by everyone! After Su Xiuqing finished speaking, she raised her wine glass first, winked at Huang Yuanyuan with her talking eyes, and then shook her head. Obviously, Huang Yuanyuan was asked not to bring up this topic.
"Huh? Oh, yes! All thanks, all thanks! Come, I'll give you a toast first! After listening to Su Xiuqing's words to relieve the siege, Chen Chufan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said to a table of people sweating profusely.
How could a group of genius teenagers on the table not see the meaning of Huang Yuanyuan's words, as well as the subtle relationship between Han Xiaoxi, Su Xiuqing and Chen Chufan, they all turned a blind eye to Chen Chufan's embarrassed look at this time, and picked up the wine glass in front of him very face-savingly.
Only the chubby Lu Jia, who has basically zero EQ, stared at Chen Chufan's sweaty head suspiciously, and asked innocently: "I said Chen Chufan, I just entered the door to see that you were fine, why did the sweat of the two sentences come out?" Anyway, the restaurant isn't so hot? โ
Chen Chufan had that hatred in his heart at this time! Is this a deliberate revenge? This is obvious, which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned? It's just that seeing Lu Jia's infinitely pure face, Chen Chufan really can't tell whether this product really doesn't understand or is playing with himself, but he feels even more embarrassed, and he doesn't know whether to put the wine glass in his mouth immediately.
At this time, where is the teenager still a little bit of spilling tu on the stage?
"If you want to drink, you will drink, why is there so much nonsense for you?" Huang Yuanyuan scolded Lu Jia impatiently. Originally, Huang Yuanyuan was aggrieved by the reaction of her good sister, and Lu Jia's eyes were sรจ, which naturally made Huang Yuanyuan feel irritable.
"If you don't ask, don't ask, what are you doing so fiercely?" Lu Jia subconsciously shrunk his neck, looked at Chen Chufan with an embarrassed face, and then looked at Huang Yuanyuan, who was coldly opposed, muttered, and didn't dare to talk nonsense, and followed everyone to pick up the wine glass in front of him.
"Ga Cup, Ga Cup!" Lu Jia stopped talking, and Chen Chufan took the lead in drinking the wine in his hand. He just wanted to get the meal over quickly, and then everyone dispersed, and it was time to go.
Wishes are good after all. But what should happen can't be avoided after all.
In fact, nothing unpleasant happened during the whole dinner. Huang Yuanyuan didn't say anything, so that Chen Chufan returned to normal after a short period of embarrassment, chatting and drinking with everyone, so unhappy.
But in this happy situation, most of the Chinese people do not have the habit of persuading alcohol in public, and they do not pay attention to raising a glass. Most of them are just a gesture.
So Chen Chufan really didn't notice that although Su Xiuqing beside Han Xiaoxi rarely spoke and kept a faint smile on his face, the wine glass in his hand was basically never put down. Although it is a small sip every time, the frequency is super fast.
And Han Xiaoxi is not too familiar with other people, except for Chen Chufan, the closest person is Su Xiuqing beside him. So Su Xiuqing drank there cup by cup, and was naturally looked at by the little girl. The inexplicable little girl's heart didn't seem to feel comfortable, so she drank with Su Xiuqing silently.
Basically, as long as Su Xiuqing picked up the wine glass, the little girl would also take a sip. Okay, this scene naturally fell into the eyes of Huang Yuanyuan beside Su Xiuqing, who had watched Su Xiuqing drink alone and open her mouth and mention Chen Chufan, so she didn't speak, but also joined the ranks of drinking.
In this way, four of the five bottles of red wine that Chen Chufan ordered fell into the stomachs of the three little women on the table. And when a group of people chatted happily and drank happily, but found that there was no wine, Chen Chufan felt weird. I couldn't help but look at the women around me with a weak heart, and sure enough, their cheeks were crimson and delicate.
"Waiter, ten more bottles!" Seeing that there was no wine on the table, Huang Yuanyuan, who was inviting guests, shouted arrogantly before he could speak.
Xiao Chen's cold sweat soaked his clothes in an instant! What is the rhythm of this? One mouth is ten bottles? Is this trying to go against the sky? As an elegant literary and artistic young man in the new century, Chen Chufan felt that he must not let the three little girls continue to drink like this. So Chen Chufan said with a straight face: "Forget it, Sister Yuanyuan." Why don't I call you some juice? โ
"What's the matter, is wine too expensive? Reluctant? Huang Yuanyuan was already angry in her heart, and she glared at Chen Chufan and scolded.
"Huh? Of course not, I think that juice is better! Don't you think? โใ Chen Chufan looked at Han Xiaoxi and Su Xiuqing beside Huang Yuanyuan. Anyway, these two people are quite calm now, and they should be more knowledgeable than Huang Yuanyuan? (To be continued......)
