Chapter 82: Trying the Bottom Line
Zhou Yang looked at Long Qiu approaching with a cloudy face. The other party seemed to have discovered the situation and hurriedly trotted over.
"Sir, why did you stop?"
Long Qiu asked pretendedly, and then looked at the middle-aged male chef who was five big and three thick.
"You don't have long eyes! This is the distinguished guest we invited today, do you dare to stop you?"
"Huh?"
was scolded by Long Qiu, and the chef realized that he had made a fuss, and hurriedly took two steps back and bowed vigorously to apologize.
He didn't know Long Qiu, and his identity was not worthy of knowing the eldest young master of the Long family, but the chef's most basic vision was still there. As soon as he saw the other party's dress, he knew that he couldn't be provoked, so he hurriedly dodged and stepped aside.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who has no eyes......"
"Mr. Zhou, let's go, it's all my fault for not being well entertained. ”
The apologies of the two people rang in their ears one after another. But it sounds very harsh.
Zhou Yang glanced at Long Qiu and roughly guessed what he was planning in his heart, but he didn't break it immediately.
Even Boss Ma sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and stopped talking with interest.
Long Qiu took Zhou Yang all the way through the deserted side door and took the elevator to the designated floor.
As soon as he appeared, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a spring breeze on his face hurried to catch up.
"Oh, I'm just saying, why hasn't Long Gongzi been here yet, come on. ”
The man in the suit looked like the kind of old oil man who would come to trouble, and his tone was extremely enthusiastic to let Long Qiu in.
"Who is this?"
After greeting Long Qiu, the man in the suit immediately looked at Zhou Yang suspiciously.
The main reason is that Zhou Yang's dress is too non-mainstream, and the stalls are incompatible with the exquisite and luxurious atmosphere here.
It's just that the staff in charge of checking the invitations obviously knew Long Qiu, and seeing that it was the person brought by Master Long, they didn't care too much and let Zhou Yang and Ma Hao enter the venue.
"This is Mr. Zhou, the guest I brought. ”
Long Qiu introduced Zhou Yang Dao. What he said was to hold Zhou Yang high, and there was nothing wrong with simply listening to it. But it's vaguely unpleasant.
"Oh, that's right. ”
The man in the suit weighed it and felt that the word "guest" in Long Qiu should be more promoted, so he brought Zhou Yang into the venue and arranged a place in the corner of the hall for him.
"Mr. Zhou, please wait here, the official event will not start until a while. ”
After speaking, the man in the suit enthusiastically pulled Long Qiu: "Young Master Long, I boasted about Haikou and said that I would definitely invite you here." They're all waiting to see you. ”
Long Qiu smiled and nodded when he heard this.
"Mr. Zhou, the hospitality is not good, I have to deal with them for a while, and I will come back immediately, please forgive me. ”
After speaking, Long Qiu hooked up with the man in the suit and left. On the road, there were people who greeted Long Qiu warmly, and they all seemed to be familiar with him.
For a while, Zhou Yang's side suddenly became deserted, leaving him alone in the corner.
Looking back at Boss Ma, Zhou Yang couldn't help but wonder. This guy has already entered a few small circles in the blink of an eye, and he is happily handing over business cards. With these upper-class natives in Chujiang City, they can talk and laugh for just a few minutes, and they are also talents.
Of course, things gather people in groups, and the circles that Ma Hao can talk to are all forty-five years old or above, and they are the type of nouveau riche at first glance.
Many of the young people in the vicinity who behaved calmly and elegantly all looked at him coldly, obviously very uninterested in similar tasteless local money.
At the beginning, most of the people around him watched Zhou Yang being brought in by Long Qiu, and no one said anything.
But in less than five minutes, people from other places couldn't help but look strange when they saw Zhou Yang.
In this kind of high-end place, Zhou Yang's dress is too eye-catching, and it feels like a homeless man mixed in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.
"Hey, who is that kid, I haven't seen it. ”
"Who knows, it looks like someone brought it in. ”
"Just kidding, how can we have an intersection with this kind of person at our level? Look at his sling, he is either a poor student or a working boy. ”
"Could it be that they sneaked in?"
The sound of dialogue came into Zhou Yang's ears one after another, followed by many inquiring eyes.
Being watched by the people around him like an outlier, no matter how thick-skinned Zhou Yang is, it is impossible to be indifferent. I had to look away a little.
How could he not understand Long Qiu's little abacus now? The other party deliberately looked for an opportunity to repeatedly lower his treatment, and even left himself here alone under the pretext of testing his bottom line.
Including saying that Long Jiufeng couldn't come to greet him if he had something, these were all excuses. It seems that the other party does not fully believe in his identity.
If Zhou Yang is always indifferent to similar contemptuous treatment, it is foreseeable that the other party will definitely get more and more inches, and may even expose the lie.
"The old thing is treacherous. ”
Zhou Yang knocked his head painfully, recently he has been inevitably fighting wits and courage with others, and he has to pretend to be a senior master if he has nothing to do, he feels that his brain cells are almost insufficient.
As soon as he raised his head, Zhou Yang was suddenly stunned, and a familiar figure appeared in his eyes.
"That, isn't it Gu Peiya?"
It was rare to see an acquaintance in such a place, and Zhou Yang was immediately shocked.
Ordinary people, out of the psychology of being recognized, will try their best to look for the same kind in this slightly embarrassing occasion, and the more people they know, the less discomfort will be reduced. Zhou Yang is no exception.
Now that he can suddenly meet Gu Peiyan's familiar face, Zhou Yang feels that this scheming is much more pleasing to the eye.
Today's Gu Peiyan has been carefully dressed, wearing a small black dress with one shoulder, and her hair is pulled up high, showing her elegant demeanor. However, Zhou Yang immediately keenly noticed that under her elegant and calm appearance, she revealed a tiredness that could not be concealed, and the dark circles under her eyes were also more serious.
"Looks like I wasn't idle last night. ”
Zhou Yang was relieved. Today, Gu Peiyan was able to appear here to participate in the auction, and she was not invited to tea, and there were no rumors of the battle of immortal cultivators around the school. It should be that last night's incident was properly resolved, and it was suppressed by the Gu family brothers and sisters.
Just thinking about it, Gu Peiyan gradually wandered over. Looking over from Zhou Yang's point of view, I saw that she kept wanting to talk to young women in three circles for a minute.
But the strange thing is that the vast majority of elegant and beautiful women, as soon as they saw that it was Gu Peiya, they dispersed without saying a word, leaving her to stand in place in embarrassment. It's as if you've seen something disgusting.
Even if a few people talked to her, they all had thick ridicule and disdain on their faces, and they didn't pay attention to each other after a few words.
"It seems that Gu Peiya's popularity here is not very good. Zhou Yang was a little surprised when he saw this. Unexpectedly, the popular goddess of her school, and even the school flower of Gu University, whose popularity is still firmly suppressing Duan Yiyi, has such an unknown embarrassment.
Just thinking about it, Gu Peiyan raised her head and was intertwined with Zhou Yang's gaze.
