Chapter 21: The Tyrant
When Lu Chengyu drove to the hotel, the parking space in the hotel was almost insufficient, so he drove his little gallop around before finding a parking space in the corner and parking.
After straightening the coat on his body, Lu Chengyu got out of the car, closed the door and entered the hotel lobby. This hotel is famous throughout the capital, and it is common to hold wedding banquets here, and there are vacancies at least half a year in advance.
As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw a table on the left and right sides to receive gifts, which seemed to be the gifts received separately by both men and women.
The bride has a good family background and knows a lot of people, and this scene really makes the man a little cold.
Lu Dong and Shen Min were talking to a middle-aged couple dressed in a very luxurious manner, so he didn't bother, and walked directly inside to pay the gift money.
Lu Chengyu's uncle and aunt were greeting the guests, and when they saw Lu Chengyu coming, they greeted them with a smile.
"Chengyu is here," the uncle smiled and took two steps forward, looked at him, and saw that he was dressed very energetically, so he said, "I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't usually come to our house to sit." ”
"I just graduated, and it's the time when I need to work hard, I usually have little time to rest, and I have a little time to sleep, and I will definitely come when the work is stable." Lu Chengyu smiled at his uncle Lu Yongguo, how could he not see that the smile on his uncle's face was more polite than close, this kind of kinship is better than close.
took out the gift money that had been prepared a long time ago, Lu Chengyu handed it to the aunt Lu Suyun who was in charge of receiving the gift, and it was his second uncle Lu Changjun who was responsible for registering the gift money.
Lu Suyun said in a joking tone: "Where does Chengyu work, and how is the salary?" "This gift money is generous among the peers.
"The job is in the city, the boss is good, the salary is appropriate, but I am busy." Lu Chengyu smiled and said a few words, glanced at the time, it was already eleven forty, and it seemed that the banquet would start in a while.
Lu Suyun heard that Lu Chengyu didn't want to talk about work in detail, although she sighed in her heart that this nephew was estranged from her, but she didn't continue to ask, but just gently beckoned Lu Chengyu to sit at the banquet on the second floor.
After a few polite words with a few elders, Lu Chengyu went up to the second floor, thinking that he was going to eat later, he drove all the way over, and he didn't wash his hands, turned around and walked to the bathroom.
As soon as he walked to the door of the bathroom, he heard Lu Liang, the son of the second uncle, and Sun Junyi, the son of the eldest aunt, talking inside.
"In the morning, when we accompanied Brother Dong to greet the bride, why didn't we call Chengyu too, with Chengyu here, the bride's girlfriends wouldn't be embarrassed that we opened the door for so long."
"Didn't my aunt tell you, my aunt was afraid that the luck of Chengyu's family would affect the newlyweds, so she only notified Chengyu to come to the wedding two days ago, and she wouldn't call him for such a thing."
"If Chengyu knows about this, how embarrassing it will be," Sun Junyi's voice was a little quieter, and he said dryly, "Besides, Chengyu has good grades, looks handsome, and has a smooth job search, what's wrong." ”
"Third uncle and third aunt ......" Lu Liang coughed dryly, feeling that he couldn't say any more, "Forget it, let's not know about this matter, just don't tell Chengyu." ”
Lu Chengyu stood outside the bathroom, silently took a few steps back, and then stepped heavily, pretending to have just walked around the corner and entered the bathroom.
When Sun Junyi and Lu Liang heard the footsteps coming, they didn't speak, and when they saw that it was Lu Chengyu they had just talked about, the expressions on their faces were a little unnatural.
"Chengyu, when did you arrive, we were still saying that you were going to be late," Lu Liang wiped his hands and squeezed out a smile, "Wait for a few of our brothers to sit at a table and have a drink." ”
Lu Chengyu said while washing his hands: "Brother Liang has a good amount of wine, don't look for me, a person who pours a glass of wine, wait for the newcomer to toast I'm already drunk, how embarrassing it is, let me go." Reaching under the hand dryer to dry the water on his hand, he sighed, "I've been busy planning a project these days, and I didn't sleep until the middle of the night last night, but fortunately, the traffic jam was not serious today, so I didn't miss the wedding of the newlyweds." ”
Lu Liang and Sun Junyi heard the words of the planning case, and guessed that Lu Chengyu should mix well in the company, otherwise where can newcomers in the workplace get in touch with these things? Thinking of this, the expressions on the faces of the two of them were much gentler.
Sun Junyi saw Lu Chengyu's natural expression, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his cousin didn't hear what they said just now.
He stepped forward and hooked Lu Chengyu's shoulder and said, "You don't know how to drink, who believes it?" Needless to say, we all have to drink it later, and you won't be able to run away. ”
Lu Chengyu smiled and grabbed Sun Junyi's shoulder with his backhand, punched him with a gesture, and the three brothers walked out of the bathroom with a smile on their faces, looking like two brothers.
After the three of them left, a closed toilet cubicle door opened, and Cao Jingshen walked out with a frown, he came to attend his cousin's wedding, but he didn't expect that Lu Chengyu was a relative of the groom, and those words just now......
Some people who are particularly superstitious do taboo these, but this is too obvious, regardless of whether Lu Chengyu heard this conversation just now or not, he feels that with Lu Chengyu's emotional intelligence, he can also detect the alienation and embarrassment in it.
sighed, it's really hard to say about this matter between relatives.
At the beginning of the banquet, Lu Chengyu listened to the master of ceremonies on the stage with all kinds of sensationalism or funny, he touched his hungry stomach, forgot to eat breakfast in the morning, and now looked at the cigarettes, alcohol and candy on the table, he felt even more hungry.
After waiting for a while, the food began to be served, Lu Chengyu did not have the habit of drinking on an empty stomach, so he filled several mouthfuls of food into his stomach and began to deal with the mutual toasts of these cousins or cousins.
Although Lu Chengyu took advantage of the toast to eat a lot of food to cushion his stomach, but in the face of the frenzied toasting mode, he was finally dizzy, and when the newcomer came to toast, the people at the table were already a little drunk and couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, but Lu Chengyu was a more decent person in this group, and in the face of the newcomer's toast, he relied on his half-drunk brain to come up with a few words of blessing, so as not to make the atmosphere embarrassing.
The parents of both sides, who were followed by the newlyweds to introduce the identities of their relatives, also looked better, hurriedly finished toasting the wine at this table, and then walked to the other table.
After the banquet, Lu Chengyu shook his slightly dizzy head and watched his cousins at the same table being helped away by his uncles and aunts. He stood up and walked out of the door unhurriedly, just walked downstairs to the lobby, heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, he saw Cao Jingshen striding towards him.
"Drunk?" Cao Jingshen walked up to him and smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, "I'll send you back." ”
Lu Chengyu did not refuse, and gave the car key to Cao Jingshen, "Then ask someone to help me drive the car back." ”
"You still drink when you drive a car, and no one teaches you not to drink while driving, and don't you drink and drive?" Cao Jingshen pushed his glasses and said, "Why don't you just get drunk." Thinking of the conversation he heard before the banquet, his mood was a little complicated, Lu Chengyu was really personable like this, if he encountered this kind of thing, he might turn around and leave, and be embarrassed by others. It stands to reason that people like Lu Chengyu don't look like they repay grievances with virtue, how can it be as if nothing happened.
Or has the Lu family always had this attitude, and Lu Chengyu has long been used to it, so he doesn't care about these people at all?
"If you're drunk, are you going to carry me back?" Lu Chengyu glanced at Cao Jingshen, "I'm afraid you won't be able to carry me." ”
"I found out that you drank wine and your mouth is very cheap," Cao Jingshen dragged Lu Chengyu to the sofa in the lobby and sat down, "Have you been eaten by dogs for your usual demeanor?" ”
Lu Chengyu glanced at him and didn't speak, but he used his sitting posture to prove that he was still that elegant handsome guy, and even attracted the attention of female compatriots in the past.
Cao Jingshen was about to continue to speak, but he heard the phone ringing, and the screen showed that the caller was Yan Mu, so he had to answer the phone first and let Lu Chengyu go.
Lu Yongguo was seeing off the guests at the door, and when he saw Lu Chengyu sitting and talking with a man in a suit and leather shoes, he couldn't help but look at his son Lu Dong: "Who is that person, your friend?" ”
Lu Dong turned his head to look at it, and recognized at a glance who was talking to Lu Chengyu, this was not the very powerful cousin Cao Jingshen that Xiao Min said, how did Chengyu know him?
"He is Xiao Min's cousin, I heard that he is the secretary and minister of Huading, a very powerful person," he said in a low voice, "Even Xiao Min's family is polite to him." ”
Lu Yongguo was a little puzzled, "Doesn't my daughter-in-law's family run a company, why should I be polite to a secretary and minister?" ”
Lu Dong didn't bother to explain the various differences in the workplace to his father, he thought about it: "Did Chengyu tell you where he works?" ”
"How much time do we usually have to contact him," Lu Yongguo glanced at Lu Chengyu several times, "There is a lot of contact, what if others say that we are worried about the dead man's things." "Although those things are really moving, Lu Chengyu is not the only elder like him, several other people are looking at it, everyone is a person who wants face, even if he really has the heart, but he doesn't have the face to do that kind of thing.
Frowning, Lu Dong saw Shen Min coming towards him, so he stopped continuing the topic.
After Shen Min walked to Lu Dong's side, she also saw Lu Chengyu and Cao Jingshen sitting together, but she was not surprised at all. Perhaps subconsciously, she has labeled Lu Chengyu as "very capable", so it is normal for the two to know each other.
Cao Jingshen hung up the phone and glanced at Lu Chengyu, who was still sitting, "The boss is nearby, he will wait to send you back, I still have some things to do in the afternoon." ”
"Oh." Lu Chengyu rubbed his forehead, just now he heard Cao Jingshen mention Yan Laosan in a trance, it seems that the boss is going to liquidate the previous matter, only because of the relationship between Yan Mu and Yan Laosan, this matter will be handed over to Cao Jingshen.
Seeing him like this, Cao Jingshen put his mobile phone in his pocket, "I will have someone drive your car back for you, and remember to go downstairs to get the car keys when the time comes." ”
Lu Chengyu continued to nod his head and thank him, this honest appearance made Cao Jingshen unable to find a word of blame, but he held his breath and couldn't get up or down. For him, Lu Chengyu is half of his apprentice in the workplace, and when he saw him drunk and didn't say a word, he felt that something was wrong in his heart.
After about fifteen minutes, Cao Jingshen saw Yan Mu walk in from the gate, and the expression on his face was extremely serious, and as soon as he saw them, he strode over.
Before Cao Jingshen could speak, he saw Yan Mu take out a bottle of sobering medicine from his suit pants bag, insert a straw and hand it to Lu Chengyu.
"Thank you," the sobering medicine tasted bad, after Lu Chengyu drank it, his expression distorted for a few seconds, he looked up at Yan Mu, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm going to trouble the boss again." ”
"Smoking hurts the lungs, and alcohol hurts the liver, so we must be temperate." Yan Mu saw that he had finished drinking, took the empty bottle, and threw it into the trash can next to him, "Let's go, my car will be parked outside the door." ”
"Isn't it good to park the car in front of the hotel, will the security guard come out?" Lu Chengyu stood up and felt that it was better to get in the car early, in case the security guard came to catch up, it would be a shame.
"It's not good, but I'm the boss," Yan Mu walked to the door, and found that the eyes of some people standing at the door fell on Lu Chengyu, and after opening the car door, he frowned, "Do you know these people?" ”
Hearing that Yan Mu was the owner of this hotel, Lu Chengyu seemed very calm, no matter how much property the local tyrant had, he could be calm. Maybe one day Yan Mu will buy an island casually like the male protagonist of a romance novel, and he will not have any doubts. Because the world of rich people is so illogical.
Seeing that Yan Mu was driving the 50 million Aston Martin today, he looked back at his relatives who were looking this way, and he pretended to be very drunk and lay on Yan Mu's shoulder: "Well, I know." He didn't want to be questioned about personal matters anymore, and he felt that the only way to go was to go.
Yan Mu's shoulders stiffened slightly, and after he was stunned for a moment, he reached out to help Lu Chengyu sit in the co-pilot, buckle his seat belt for him, and after closing the door, he stepped on the accelerator and left in the eyes of everyone looking at the local tyrant.
The relatives of the Lu family who knew the value of the Aston Martin sports car suddenly felt a little complicated, it turned out that Chengyu not only studied in a prestigious university in college, but also knew people who were not simple after graduation, this person could live so well without his parents?
Lu Dong looked at the direction in which the Aston Martin sports car disappeared, and suddenly felt a little tasteless.
