Chapter 319: A Chance Encounter at the Banquet
Soon Shen Xu called, and his tone was full of shame.
"I'm sorry, Sister Xiao Porcelain, I really didn't expect these media to be so good at chasing after the wind, I'm going to clarify, I hope it didn't bring you any negative impact."
Tang Xiaoci shook his head silently, "It's okay, I also said that I wanted to apologize to you, I'm sorry to pull you into the public eye like this." β
Shen Xu paused, "I actually don't have that much aversion to being exposed to the public, because I have been abroad before, so I have never had a chance." β
This explanation fell into Tang Xiaoci's ears, and it made sense for her, although she was entangled, she didn't dig deeper.
"I see, since it's fake, we don't need to waste time sending them traffic, let's focus on the matter at hand."
Tang Xiaoci's calmness made Shen Xu hesitate for a moment, thinking that there would be some big reaction.
"Then I won't bother you." He laughed and hung up.
Tang Xiaoci finally sighed, but secretly asked people to investigate the people who took those photos, and it is very likely that the people who circulated the photos were the ones who wanted to deal with themselves.
The popularity of the Internet has only increased, and Tang Xiaoci has also become the most concerned businesswoman in China.
The old nobleman of country K finally arrived in China and held a banquet to warm up for the bidding.
And Tang Xiaoci was the first to be invited after Jing Heng, and she couldn't help but sigh at the level of gossip of the old nobleman.
It didn't take many days for the banquet to be held as scheduled, and Tang Xiaoci specially didn't let Song Yun accompany him, after all, Jing Heng decided to cooperate with the Qi family, so there was little point for Wohai Company to participate.
A few days ago, Tang Xiaoci also asked Song Yun to call the old nobleman, saying that Wohai would not participate in this bidding, but join in another way, which coaxed the old nobleman to come.
At the banquet, there was a dazzling array of wine and dishes, and all kinds of people were dressed beautifully, presumably to cater to the characteristics of the old aristocracy's love of luxury.
She had also heard Xu Chuwan say it before, because Jing Heng participated, she and Qin Ran did not have the idea of participating, and only did a good job in their own field with peace of mind.
She looked around at no one she knew, and wandered around the table boredly.
She was just wearing a black sundress with gold tassels today, her jade legs seemed to be hidden in the opening of the big waves, and she was charming, and her hair was simply coiled up, revealing exaggerated black and gold earrings.
Just when Tang Xiaoci saw the dessert not far away and was about to take a few bites, someone suddenly patted him on the back.
"Beautiful young lady alone, I happen to be alone, do you want to join me."
Tang Xiaoci frowned, the man on the other side didn't know him at all.
I think it's the boss of the new company, and I haven't heard of myself before, otherwise how could I dare to come forward and tease with such a big courage.
Tang Xiaoci did not hide the disgust on his face in the slightest, "You just touched me with your dirty hands?" β
"What do you mean, at first glance, it's an old man who came with me, don't pretend to be here for me!" The man threatened to grab her wrist.
Tang Xiaoci raised his foot and was about to kick the man's knee, but the man's wrist was grabbed by another big hand.
"This is the daughter of the Qi family, you better weigh it carefully." Shen Xu appeared behind her at some point, staring at the man with sharp eyes.
As soon as the man heard that it was the daughter of the Qi family, he immediately thought of the old man Qi, and couldn't help but shudder.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's because I don't know Taishan, and I hope you don't bother with me as a villain."
The man kept bowing humbly, for fear that he would be kicked out in the next second.
Tang Xiaoci pulled out a sneer, "You haven't answered my question yet, which dirty hand touched me just now." β
The man froze in place and slowly raised his right hand.
"Very well, you just slap yourself with this hand until you walk out of this venue."
As soon as these words came out, the people around them gasped, and some people who knew her old things couldn't help but sigh, is this still the gentle Tang Xiaoci from the original.
Just at the moment of the stalemate, Bai Luxi's puzzled voice came.
"What's going on?"
Tang Xiaoci followed the voice and looked at it, and sure enough, she saw Jing Heng standing next to Bai Luxi.
Jing Heng first saw Tang Xiaoci confronting the stranger, but as soon as she saw Shen Xu next to her, she stopped.
In fact, he was very unbelievable from the photo, but now he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the real person, this Shen Xu did look too similar to Shen Xi'an, just like the same person.
"What's wrong with Sister porcelain, this is also the boss of a small company, if I neglect you, let's let him go if I am generous, after all, today is not an occasion to go wrong casually."
Bai Luxi walked over, but he looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
Tang Xiaoci finally saw this woman's white lotus attribute clearly, "What you said, why did he force me to be generous because he and I are not related, or do you plan to play the banquet policeman?" β
The sarcasm in the words was self-evident, which made Bai Luxi speechless for a while, "Sister porcelain, how can you say that about me, I am also thinking about everyone." β
Seeing that Bai Luxi was helping him, the man hurriedly stood behind her to help, "That's it, I didn't actually do anything, aren't people like us worthy of greeting you?" β
Tang Xiaoci snorted coldly and looked at Jing Heng, "Mr. Jing, Miss Bai is your fiancΓ©e, please take care of her." β
Jing Heng frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with her words.
"Everyone is independent, and it doesn't matter what they say, but this occasion is really special, we don't welcome people who stir up disputes, how to do it......"
Jing Heng squinted and glanced at the man, full of threat.
The man immediately took a few steps back, slapped himself and withdrew according to Tang Xiaoci's instructions.
Tang Xiaoci snorted disdainfully, it seems that he still hasn't reached Jing Heng's level.
As everyone knows, Shen Xu's eyes were dim when he saw this scene, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
As he spoke, the upstairs door opened, and out of it came a septuagenarian, dressed in fine clothes, and his gestures were full of elegance.
This person is the person in power among the old nobles from the country K.
"It's really lively down there, eh, aren't you ......" The old man approached and found that Tang Xiaoci looked exactly the same as Qi Li.
Tang Xiaoci immediately stopped the old man from continuing to speak, "Cough, old Cha, I'm Tang Xiaoci, thank you for inviting me." β
Zha Lao also quickly understood her intentions and smiled cooperatively.
"This must be Mr. Shen Xu, I heard that you have been getting very close recently."
Foreigners have always been unrestrained in their feelings, and Zha Lao's eyes were obviously ambiguous when he looked at the two, which also aroused the associations of the people around him.
Tang Xiaoci avoided the important and light, "Don't make fun of me, let's talk about this bidding." β
In fact, she didn't choose to clarify immediately at first, but also to see Jing Heng's reaction, now she can observe it closely, she couldn't help but glance at Jing Heng a few times.
