Chapter 062: Attending a Banquet
Caesars Grand Hotel's 11th floor ballroom.
Tonight's banquet hall has been contracted by the city's jewelry association, and the guests who are fortunate to be invited are all major jewelry merchants in the city, and Li Ruyun's Ruyi jewelry is also invited.
The reason why this banquet is held is because Hong Kong Island's Zhou's jewelry is ready to settle in the city, Zhou's jewelry is strong, it is a very prestigious large-scale jewelry company, Zhou's jewelry can enhance the overall prestige of the city's jewelry industry, which is also the reason why the city's jewelry association held a banquet to welcome Zhou's jewelry.
For this kind of banquet, Li Ruyun is reluctant to come, but the situation is stronger than people, and if you want to continue in the jewelry industry, you can't offend the jewelry association, but you can't come if you don't come.
However, Li Ruyun has nothing to worry about, after all, this is a public banquet, and so many acquaintances will attend together, nothing will happen.
But what Li Ruyun didn't expect was that something happened just now.
As an attractive single lady, Li Ruyun's popularity in the circle is still quite strong, and there are many men who have a heart of admiration for Li Ruyun, but there are few men who can really enter her eyes, and the only few people are also family men, Li Ruyun has no intention of destroying other people's marriages.
Although Li Ruyun is charming, no one really dares to use force against her, because the Li family is also a small and powerful family in the local area, and Li Ruyun's grandparents are also officials in the provincial capital, and they have some connections in all aspects, and everyone is so familiar with each other, no one will tear their faces, and they really want Li Ruyun to be.
But at today's banquet, there are people who don't have so many scruples.
This person's name is Zhou Wenxi, in his thirties, with a dignified appearance, responsible for the commercial expansion of Zhou's jewelry in Ping'an City, and I heard that he is also a child of the Zhou family.
As soon as Zhou Wenxi saw Li Ruyun, it was like a cat seeing a fish, so he quickly touched it, and toasted Li Ruyun frequently.
Zhou Wenxi's behavior is too obvious, Li Ruyun is very disgusted with this kind of behavior, but she is not good to really offend him, you know, the strength of Zhou's jewelry is very strong, and Zhou Wenxi is here to invest on behalf of Zhou's jewelry, representing the face of Zhou's jewelry, if she refuses Zhou Wenxi's toast, I am afraid she will offend Zhou's jewelry.
Many troubles in the mall are caused by these little things.
There is another reason that outsiders don't know, some of the jewelry of Ruyi Jewelry is purchased from Zhou's Jewelry, and the batches of blue pearls happen to be sold on Hong Kong Island through Zhou's Jewelry.
Li Ruyun didn't want to affect the cooperation between the two sides because of some trivial things.
"Miss Li, I've admired your name for a long time, Xiaobin has mentioned you many times in the company, saying how can you do it, I have long wanted to come and see Miss Li, hehe, it is really worthy of the name." Zhou Wenxi said meaningfully.
"Oh, Manager Zhou is also familiar with Xiaobin?" Li Ruyun was a little surprised.
Xiaobin, whose full name is Chen Bin, is Li Ruyun's college classmate and a partner of Li Ruyun's business.
"Hehe, everyone does things for the Zhou family, look up and don't see what you look down, of course you know." Zhou Wen took a sip of wine and said slowly: "It's just that when it comes to familiarity, it's not necessarily, I've always been in the company's management, and Xiaobin and them run business, and they still rarely meet, occasionally have dinners, and say a few words, there are still some." ”
This is a bit of a braggart, if it is really the upper management, will it be arranged to such a small city to expand the market? Li Ruyun also didn't care about this kind of talk.
Zhou Wenxi saw that Li Ruyun was unmoved, frowned, and could only continue: "Miss Li, my father is Zhou Huaiyi, I don't know if you have heard of your father's name. ”
The Zhou family has three brothers, Zhou Huaili, Zhou Huaiyi, and Zhou Huailian, if Zhou Wenxi's father is Zhou Huaiyi, then he is also the direct son of the Zhou family.
Hearing this, Li Ruyun was taken aback, and she also understood why the Jewelry Association would hold a banquet to give the Zhou family face so much, it turned out that there was such a reason in it.
Although it is the eldest brother Zhou Huaili who controls Zhou's jewelry now, Zhou Huaiyi's weight is not light, as Zhou Huaiyi's son, Zhou Wenxi should also have a lot of responsibility in the company, right?
Li Ruyun's heart was a little puzzled again, as the little young master of the Zhou family, how could he come to a small place like ours if he didn't do such a big business?
Zhou Wenxi raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Miss Li, I will toast you on behalf of my father, and I will do it first." ”
Raise the wine glass, take a sip of the red wine in the glass, and smother.
Li Ruyun had no choice, so she could only raise her glass and drink it, the other party said so, she would be too faceless if she didn't drink it.
In the following time, Zhou Wenxi found various reasons to toast, not only Zhou Wenxi, but some acquaintances around also came to join in the fun, Li Ruyun could only try his best to deal with it, and some of them really couldn't cope with it, so they could only kill it in one bite, and gradually, Li Ruyun already felt a little dizzy.
Li Ruyun knew that he couldn't drink anymore.
"Mr. Zhou, Ruyun is already very face-saving today, and I really can't drink it anymore." The vice president of the Jewelry Association couldn't look past it at this time, and came over to persuade him, he and Li Ruyun's father are also friends for many years, and the daughter of a friend, he always has to help take care of it.
Several other acquaintances also persuaded them, after all, they were all their own people, and they couldn't let outsiders bully them.
Zhou Wenxi also knew the truth that public anger should not be violated, and immediately said hypocritically: "Alas, it's all my fault, I didn't expect Miss Li's alcohol to be so shallow, I punished myself with three glasses to apologize." After saying that, I drank three glasses.
"Mr. Zhou, it's really a good amount of wine."
Zhou Wenxi smiled, glanced at Li Ruyun, and said very sincerely: "Miss Li, although we have only met for the first time, I have been deeply fascinated by you, I don't know if I have the honor to pursue you." ”
Li Ruyun was taken aback, this guy is too bold and direct, even if he wants to pursue it, he can't ask it so clearly?
And this kind of question makes Li Ruyun very difficult to answer, agree, that is a big trouble, Zhou Wenxi will definitely get it like a plaster, if he doesn't agree, he will offend him again, and he can justifiably say that he looks down on the Zhou family.
When Zhou heard about this guy, he showed that he was serious, but his heart was very insidious.
"I'm sorry, but I have a boyfriend." Li Ruyun smiled and politely refused, this was the best reason she could come up with.
"No, Miss Li, I heard that you don't have a boyfriend and are still single, you can't be blinded by me, right?" Zhou Wenxi said lightly.
"I'm really not lying, my boyfriend and I have been together for more than a year, but outsiders don't know." Li Ruyun said with a smile, but he already hated this guy to death in his heart.
"Do you really have a boyfriend?" Zhou Wenxi asked in disbelief.
"I really have a boyfriend." Li Ruyun said affirmatively.
"Hehe, since you have a boyfriend, it's better to bring it over to everyone to get to know you, if your boyfriend is not as handsome as me, I won't give up." Zhou Wenxi said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"That'...... Okay, I'll give my boyfriend a call. Li Ruyun can see it, if he doesn't find a man to come over, this guy won't give up.
But who should I turn to?
