After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce
Chapter 498 Cocktail Party
Qiao Shinian also smiled, "It's not a big deal. I just thought that if something unexpected happened at the party, you could speak up for me. I'm afraid that if I fight alone, no one will believe me."
Song Qingchuan comforted him again, "Shi Nian, don't take it so seriously. You don't need to be under so much psychological pressure. Just treat this cocktail party as an ordinary one."
"Yeah." Qiao Shinian smiled and nodded.
But I thought to myself that today would definitely not be an ordinary cocktail party.
……
Soon after, the car arrived at the hotel booked by the Li family.
This is a long-renowned five-star hotel in Haicheng. Both the environment and service are very superior. It is also a place that celebrities and wealthy people love to hold press conferences and banquets.
The driver drove the car to the lobby of the reception, and soon a waiter came over and opened the door for them.
Asking the driver to park the car, Song Qingchuan extended his arm towards Qiao Shinian in a gentlemanly manner.
Qiao Shinian looked at Song Qingchuan. He looked relaxed, as if he was just following the banquet etiquette.
Without struggling with Song Qingchuan, Qiao Shinian placed his hand lightly on his arm and walked into the hotel lobby with him.
The opening reception was held in the largest banquet hall on the first floor. The outside was filled with congratulatory flower baskets, which were colorful and quite beautiful. Among them was one from Yiming Investment Bank.
This was specially sent by Qiao Shinian.
She learned something from Li Shuyan: The more dissatisfied or dissatisfied you are with someone, the more you should pretend to be nice and not give any evidence to others. This way, when you fall out with them, others won't think it's your fault.
After signing in separately with Song Qingchuan, Qiao Shinian and Song Qingchuan walked into the banquet hall together.
Not far from the entrance, Li's father and Li Shuyan were welcoming guests.
Mr. Li was wearing a well-fitting Zhongshan suit, and looked mature and elegant.
Li Shuyan wore a sapphire blue custom-made dress, the ladylike style of the dress made her look like a socialite.
Seeing Qiao Shinian and Song Qingchuan, Li Shuyan came over with joy, "Shi Nian, Mr. Song, you are here together!"
"Shi Nian, you look so beautiful today. The black color makes your skin look so white. It's so enviable. If I had known this, I would have worn black too!" Li Shuyan praised sweetly.
Li Shuyan is simply a master in acting.
If I didn't know her background, I would really think she was so naive and harmless.
Qiao Shinian also put on a businesslike smile, "Ms. Li, thank you for the compliment. You look beautiful in any color."
Li Shuyan smiled even more happily, "Really? Thank you Shi Nian! Then we two are the most beautiful people today!"
"I have a few sisters over there. I'll take you over to meet them!"
Li Shuyan said to Li Boting, "Dad, I'll take Shi Nian there first, and come back later!"
Li Boting was naturally happy to see that Li Shuyan and Qiao Shinian had such a harmonious relationship. After all, it was rare for his daughter to have a friend, and he didn't want them to fall out over some misunderstandings.
After Song Qingchuan congratulated Li Boting, several people who knew him waved to him.
Song Qingchuan said something politely to Li Boting and walked towards each other.
Qiao Shinian was brought by Li Shuyan to a few women who looked like noble ladies just by looking at their attire.
Qiao Shinian had heard a little about them. Their husbands were prominent figures in politics and business.
Li Shuyan introduced Qiao Shinian to several women.
Qiao Shinian maintained a polite smile and greeted them in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Shuyan, is this the friend you mentioned who has been thriving in his career recently and received an award from a government department?" said one of the gorgeously dressed women.
"Yes, Sister Hua, Miss Qiao is really outstanding and especially worthy of my learning. If I could run my company as well as Shi Nian, I would be very satisfied!" Li Shuyan said exaggeratedly.
"I don't know much about her achievements, but she has a very pretty face," said the person known as Miss Hua.
"Girls nowadays are so amazing. They know how to grasp their own strengths and make full use of them. Our generation can't compare to them." Another noble lady sighed.
How could Qiao Shinian not understand what these women meant? They were talking about her achievements that she had gained with her pretty face.
Qiao Shinian smiled and said, "Compared to the status and achievements that you sisters have achieved, the little bit of success that I have gained with this face is not worth mentioning at all. I will have to learn from you sisters who are both pretty and capable in the future."
When Qiao Shinian said this self-deprecating yet flattering remark, the women were speechless for a moment.
"Sisters, isn't Shi Nian really amazing and good at talking?"
Li Shuyan smiled sweetly, "I'm introducing such an outstanding person to the sisters, it's not a loss, right?"
"I think Miss Li is even more amazing. Some people have to work hard and struggle to achieve what they want, but Miss Li was born in Rome."
Qiao Shinian also took over the conversation with a smile.
"For example, these sisters. I have been in the investment bank for a long time and have attended many cocktail parties, but I have never had the opportunity to get to know them. Today, Miss Li's opening cocktail party brought together so many sisters at once, which shows how wide Miss Li's network of contacts is."
Qiao Shinian sighed softly when she got to this point, and said in a half-hearted way, "So, Miss Li's envy makes me feel embarrassed. It seems like she's deliberately flattering me."
"Shi Nian, I really admire you, it's not flattery, you must not misunderstand me."
After saying that, Li Shuyan seemed to have lost interest in continuing to act with Qiao Shinian. She smiled sweetly at everyone and said, "Sisters, my dad is calling me over there. I have to go over there. Excuse me first."
Qiao Shinian said to the women calmly, "If you sisters don't mind, I'll leave first."
The women who had just been rejected naturally did not keep her.
"I was just worried that you would suffer a loss, but now it seems that you are much more powerful than I thought."
Just as Qiao Shinian walked to a quieter place, Song Qingchuan came over.
"I just said a few true words. They are of high status and don't bother to argue with me." Qiao Shinian said with a smile.
"I was entangled with a few friends just now, and I couldn't come to help you in time. I'm sorry." Song Qingchuan's tone was full of apology.
Qiao Shinian shook his head and said indifferently: "What is there to be sorry about? Mr. Li has a high status and Li Shuyan is the daughter of the Li family. It is normal for them to help Li Shuyan show off her power to me."
Song Qingchuan didn't say anything, but just glanced at Qiao Shinian with an unclear expression.
The guests arrived one after another, and Song Qingchuan was pulled away to talk, while Qiao Shinian casually admired the venue, got a drink from the wine tower, and looked around the stage and backstage.
Not long after, there was a lot of movement at the gate. Qiao Shinian looked over and saw that it was Huo Yanci coming over.
Since he was sent by Huo's father to help Li Shuyan, he was naturally indispensable in such occasions.
Qiao Shinian felt fortunate that Huo's father was not in Haicheng. Huo Yanci said that there was an emergency in the business in Country Y and he needed to go there to deal with it.
Otherwise, today's situation would be even more difficult.
