Chapter 22: The Dinner


"Tell me, would Mr.

Lu recognize me when I'm dressed like this?"

Standing at the door of the banquet hall, Su Taotao suddenly became frightened.

He didn't know where to place his nervous hands, so he could only hold on to the skirt tightly and talk to Lu Zhen is looking for something to say when he has nothing to say.

Compared with Su Taotao's confusion, Lu Zhen's calmness was particularly eye-catching.

However, taking into account the mood of his female companion, Lu Zhen patiently comforted Su Taotao, who was about to explode, and asked her to calm down.

"You look so dazzling today, you look completely different from your usual appearance.

I don't think my eldest brother will recognize you, especially since he doesn't have a good impression of you.

But it doesn't matter, I will introduce it to him later.

His impression of you will definitely change by then.

To be honest, even I was shocked when you came out."

It was rare for Su Taotao to bow her head shyly when being praised by others.

Usually, the most compliments she heard from others were things like "fighting violence and keeping a good life" and "drawing a sword to help when there is an injustice on the road."

This was the first time someone praised her appearance.

Although she knows that this beauty is a result of high-end cosmetics and clothing, girls, no matter how rough-hearted, are still very happy when they hear someone compliment them on their beauty.

So Su Taotao immediately felt that the three hours spent in the beauty salon was worth it.

"Then let's go."

Following the look of the ladies on TV, Su Taotao stepped onto Lu Zhen's arms, took small steps, tried to keep up with the rhythm, and walked into the banquet hall under his leadership.

"Tonight's banquet is to celebrate a project that Lu recently won, so the guests are mostly CEOs of companies in the city who have a good relationship with Lu, as well as some colleagues.

The dance will not start for a while, After you meet my brother, you go and eat something first, so you don't faint from hunger later, that won't be pretty.

"Oh."

Su Taotao has been highly nervous since entering the door.

While remembering Lu Zhen's instructions, he always showed a reserved and elegant smile, and at the same time, he had to be careful not to sprain his feet with high heels.

For someone like her who wears sneakers whenever she goes out 365 days a year, the only difference between wearing high heels and walking on stilts is the height.

Fortunately, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has a good sense of balance.

So far, her high heels are quite obedient.

But Su Taotao can't do two things at once, and it's not easy to maintain elegance both above and below.

So she only heard the two key words "my brother" and "eating" in Lu Zhen's words.

As for the dance and other things, she didn't care at all.

Didn't hear it.

If it were known that she was going to dance wearing these shoes, Su Taotao would have abandoned Lu Zhen and fled now.

Lu Zhen and Su Taotao shuttled among the guests with fragrant clothes and beautiful hair.

Occasionally they stopped to say hello when they saw a close friend.

Su Taotao felt that his face was no longer his own, and he had stopped laughing.

I have to lament once again that not everyone can do what a lady or a noble lady can do, at least this kind of entertainment makes it very awkward for a commoner like her.

But for Lu Qi, she had to give it a try no matter what.

At least it proved that he was not suitable for her, and only then could she really let go.

"Brother, why are you here?

It's easy for me to find you."

Su Taotao felt that they had all circled the hall before Lu Zhen finally found Lu Qi.

"As soon as you entered the hall, I was on your left hand side, but you didn't see me."

Lu Qi, who was holding the wine glass, was also helpless.

He had already drank three glasses of wine before this Lu Chi brother saw him.

He had already seen him.

If you know, you should stay at the gate.

The left side of the gate is still too far.

"Really?

Maybe it's because your clothes are not conspicuous, so I didn't notice it.

It's not what I said.

It's not work now.

You always wear a black suit.

You really look like a bodyguard."

Lu Zhen didn't say anything about his eldest brother's ridicule.

No matter what, the eldest brother has never defeated him in the battle of words.

Lu Qi's eyes suddenly turned dark.

His brother had changed.

The gentle and respectful brother in the past had now learned to tease him.

Who did he learn this from?

The servants in the Lu family would not talk to him like this.

The only possibility was the new "friend" he made.

Humph, don't let him catch that girl again, or he will make her disappear in front of Lu Zhen.

"Hello, Mr.

Lu."

Su Taotao's weak voice broke into the "affectionate" look between the two brothers, bringing them back from their thoughts.

It wasn't that Su Taotao didn't have the eyesight, but she noticed that someone seemed to want to come up and strike up a conversation, but the affectionate exchange between the two brothers couldn't be interrupted, so she had to look at each other awkwardly and smile.

Seeing that this dear friend also looked cautious, Su Taotao decided that it was up to her to break the flirting between the two.

"Who is this female companion of yours?"

Lu Qi decided not to get along with his brother first.

As for his ideological issues, he would discuss them at home.

"Let me formally introduce to you, this is my female companion, Su Taotao.

She is also an employee of Lu's, whom you have met before."

Lu Zhen smiled as warmly as the spring breeze, while Lu Qi's expression suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The man next to him who wanted to strike up a conversation with Lu Qi saw that the situation was not good, and fled the scene very well.

Su Taotao was the only spectator left, watching the Lu brothers' eye-to-eye duel.

"Don't you have any other female companions?

I remember that the daughter of Boss Tenghui hinted at you two days ago."

Lu Qi was sure that Lu Zhen was in a rebellious stage now, and he would do whatever he was not allowed to do.

Just now, he wanted to find a chance to keep Su Taotao away from him, but to his surprise, Lu Zhen brought her directly.

Huh, don't think that just by putting on makeup and changing clothes, you can fly up a branch and become a phoenix.

He has seen many people like this who work hard to climb up to the dragon and the phoenix.

With her little tricks, she could only deceive her silly brother.

Therefore, Lu Qi chose to turn a blind eye to Su Taotao's proactive overtures.

He had nothing to say to such a person.

"She and I have only met each other a few times.

How can we bring outsiders to the banquet hosted by our family?

Taotao is my friend, so he is more suitable than a stranger."

As if he was afraid that Su Taotao would think too much, Lu Zhen deliberately supported her.

Her shoulders gave her silent encouragement.

In fact, Su Taotao had long expected that Lu Qi would not treat her well.

It was probably because she had been too well prepared mentally before, so she was not as shocked as Lu Zhen thought.

So in Lu Qi's eyes, the expressions and movements of the two people became "the scheming girl shamelessly clings to her brother, while the stupid brother is complacent without knowing it", which made Lu Qi's mood even worse.

"It's getting late now, Tao Tao, you go get something to eat first.

I'll go find you later."

Seeing his elder brother's face getting worse and worse, Lu Zhen was afraid that he would say something that would hurt Tao Tao's self-esteem, which would end badly. .

It would be better for him to persuade his elder brother first and let Tao Tao leave for a while.

Su Taotao immediately understood what Lu Zhen meant, and he also fled from the two brothers.

To be honest, even though he was not in the company, seeing Lu Qi like this, he still subconsciously wanted to bow his head and apologize.

Is this the consciousness and sadness of being an employee?

Before Su Taotao could figure out the answer to this question, he was attracted by the dazzling array of exquisite delicacies on the long table.

Sure enough, for foodies, there is nothing that a delicious meal cannot solve
