Through Thick and Thin

On Saturday night of this week, after Lu Chuiqing was picked up by Xiao Zhan in the car, he found that Xiao Zhan didn't drive home directly, but seemed to have other places to go.

Lu Chuiqing: "Where are we going?"

Xiao Zhan: "A friend invited me to discuss something in a private club."

"Private club?" Lu Chuiqing said in surprise, he lowered his head to look at his light blue shirt, black trousers, and the satchel that looked like a random brand of cheap goods on the Internet, "I... just dress like this go?"

In Lu Chuiqing's imagination, a private club is a place where those people in the upper class eat, drink and have fun, and may even include whoring and gambling activities in some more private times. .

However, since being with Xiao Zhan, Lu Chuiqing's impression of rich people has changed a lot, and now he won't be preconceived casually.

Xiao Zhan: "I brought you a change of clothes in the back seat. If you want to change, you can change it. It doesn't matter if you don't want to."

After deliberation, Lu Chuiqing felt that since Xiao Zhan's friend was here, she had to make a good impression out of politeness, so she brought over the paper bag on the back seat, which contained a finely crafted smoky gray shirt , and trousers made of expensive materials to the touch, and a pair of dark brown hollowed-out Oxford leather shoes.

The private club is located near the green and high-quality city viewing platform, surrounded by rich real estate, there are not many vehicles on the road at this time, and Xiao Zhan's car windows are also coated to prevent peeping, so Lu Chuiqing directly puts them in the car. Clothes changed.

Lu Chuiqing buttoned up his shirt, and tidied up his neckline and neck ring. The smoky gray shirt was lined with a silver-white neck ring, making the curve of his neck slender and charming, and his skin fair and delicate.

The car slowly drove into the parking lot of the clubhouse. Lu Chuiqing looked curiously at the car window. This is a Chinese-style clubhouse with an arched gate in the shape of a garden and surrounded by bamboo forests. It really has a special flavor.

The attendant in the parking lot came to park for the guests. Xiao Zhan seemed to have made arrangements in advance. The welcoming waiter walked to the two of them, bent slightly, stretched out his arms to lead the way, and said respectfully: "Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, this Please."

Lu Chuiqing was a little helpless, but today's owner is not him, and he can't say anything, he wanted to smile and thank him, but he heard Xiao Zhan who was beside him say: "Call Mr. Lu."

The waiter in this kind of high-end club has obviously seen big scenes, so naturally he won't panic, and changed his words graciously: "Okay, I'm really sorry, Mr. Lu, please come inside."

Xiao Zhan held Lu Chuiqing's hand and led him into the clubhouse.

The decoration of the clubhouse is gorgeous and exquisite. There are tea art area, sauna room, chess and card room and Chinese restaurant in the garden. There are fitness area, hot spring and other entertainment activity rooms beside the small pond in the back. There is a field.

The two were led by the welcome staff to an independent courtyard. This is the tea art room of the clubhouse. The environment is very quiet. The tea art master in cheongsam is making tea at this time, and the whole courtyard is lingering with the elegant tea fragrance.

A man in a suit and leather shoes came out head-on, aged 37 or [-] years old, he shook hands with Xiao Zhan enthusiastically: "Mr. Xiao, good evening, sorry to welcome you!"

Xiao Zhan: "Good evening, Boss Tian."

Mr. Tian looked at Lu Chuiqing: "This is Mr. Lu, hello, hello, come, please."

The three of them walked along a cobblestone path, halfway, President Tian suddenly whispered to Xiao Zhan with an apologetic face: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Deng came over suddenly this afternoon, and he brought a group of newcomers from the studio to play. Hearing that we are here, he said he wanted to sit with us..."

Hearing Mr. Tian mentioned Mr. Deng, Xiao Zhan's expression became a little colder. He nodded and said, "It's okay, just come when he comes."

Seeing something wrong with Xiao Zhan's expression, Lu Chuiqing quietly asked: "What's wrong? Who is it?"

"An investor in the film and television industry, he knows many directors in the industry." Xiao Zhan slightly turned his head to answer him, "I often bring some newcomers with me."

Xiao Zhan's words were extremely cryptic, but Lu Chuiqing understood the implied meaning. This kind of investor often introduces young lovers who can be taken care of by other big bosses in the circle. He tentatively said: "... ... Qiu Nai was introduced to you by him, right?"

Xiao Zhan: "Yes."

Lu Chuiqing was silent for a while, then suddenly coughed lightly, and stretched out her hand to wrap Xiao Zhan's arm.

Xiao Zhan glanced at him silently, with a smile on his lips.

Several people came to the tea room, the room was very spacious, there were already four or five people sitting at the tea table, and three or four people who looked like young actors were sitting on the small sofa on the balcony.

Mr. Deng is about 45 years old. After seeing Xiao Zhan coming, he turned his back on customers and stood up to greet the original guests: "Oh, Mr. Xiao, long time no see. Today I brought some young people over to play golf. I heard that Mr. Tian invited you to drink tea, so I came here with a shy face."

Mr. Deng saw Lu Chuiqing on the side, and saw him holding Xiao Zhan's arm, and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao brought his own people, so it's okay. The kids on my side are also pretty good. They just graduated It won't be long, do you want to meet? That kid Qiu Nai was too ignorant before, I apologize for him and you, haha, I am young and don't understand the importance."

When Mr. Tian beside him heard this, he hurried forward, and secretly gave Mr. Deng a hand, signaling him to be a little discerning, to see if the person next to Xiao Zhan was the kind of person he thought, and not to be in front of Xiao Zhan. mention this.

Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Deng finished speaking, Xiao Zhan and Lu Chuiqing both looked a little unhappy.

It's just a pity that although Mr. Deng was a little baffled, he still couldn't read Mr. Tian's specific meaning.The big bosses of them are used to playing together, so he never imagined that today, he directly fell into the minefield.

Boss Tian still wanted to ask Xiao Zhan for something, so he specially prepared for so long to invite Xiao Zhan to come, but in the end he met Cheng Yaojin, Boss Deng.Mr. Tian scolded him in his heart. He was really worried that he would make Xiao Zhan unhappy, so that he would not be able to get things done. And because of Mr. Deng's status, he couldn't directly ask him to go, so he could only stare blankly.

Mr. Tian hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Oh, Mr. Deng, Mr. Xiao has come all the way, don't talk about this, just sit down and drink tea."

"Haha, yes, come, drink tea."

Mr. Deng looked at Lu Chuiqing, and felt that a group of people were sitting here to discuss business, and it was not good to have a lover like him here with him, so he said to Lu Chuiqing, "Hey, young man, why don't you sit on the balcony first?" ? My group of young actors have pretty good personalities, can you guys have a chat?"

Without waiting for Lu Chuiqing to say anything, Xiao Zhan stretched out his arms to wrap Lu Chuiqing's shoulders, pulled him to sit beside him, and said blankly, "No need."

Boss Deng was stunned, and didn't say anything in the end, he just thought that this Omega was so skilled that Xiao Zhan really loved him.

After everyone was seated, Lu Chuiqing secretly looked at the people at the table. Mr. Tian asked Xiao Zhan for financial matters, while Mr. Deng was just here to join in the fun and see if he could give the young actors around him a treat. Wire.

When the matter got to a certain point, Xiao Zhan's attitude was quite room for negotiation, Mr. Tian heaved a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere on the tea table finally relaxed a little.

Mr. Deng chatted with everyone for a while, and suddenly remembered something, he slapped his thigh and laughed: "That's right! I met Shao Xia at the squash court here a few days ago, and I heard that Mr. Xia was a former classmate of Mr. Xiao ? You said it was a coincidence!"

Mr. Tian's eyes were darkened, and he almost couldn't resist the urge to rush up and cover Mr. Deng's mouth. Anyone in the circle with a wink could see that the relationship between Mr. Xiao and Shao Xia was actually not good at all. Mr. Xiao managed to get along quickly. Let go, he came here again, how did this man's brain grow!

Mr. Deng added a cup of tea to Xiao Zhan: "Mr. Xiao, tell me about the recent stock market? Last week, Xia Shaojia's company defaulted on its bonds, and the stock price fell a lot. What do you think of the follow-up? Can you enter the market to buy the bottom now? "

Xiao Zhan smiled lightly: "Mr. Deng, you might as well ask my personal consultant."

President Deng was surprised: "Personal consultant?"

Xiao Zhan put his arms around Lu Chuiqing's waist, leaned close to his ear, and said, "Speak to Mr. Deng?"

Lu Chuiqing never expected that Xiao Zhan suddenly threw the words to himself, and the low voice suddenly rang in his ears, which made his ears turn red.

Everyone else at the tea table was extremely surprised, and they all cast their eyes on Lu Chuiqing.Most of them did have the same idea as Boss Deng. Even Boss Tian, ​​who knew Lu Chuiqing's identity, didn't expect that Lu Chuiqing was actually Xiao Zhan's personal consultant.

Mr. Deng stared at Lu Chuiqing in disbelief, dumbfounded.

Lu Chuiqing naturally understood Xiao Zhan's intentions in doing this, and of course he didn't want people like Mr. Deng to show people with ulterior motives in front of Xiao Zhan, so he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity go, and smiled gracefully: "Mr. Deng, Since you asked, I’m going to make a fool of myself. To tell you the truth, I actually came from the research of stock index funds, and I still have some opinions on the industry. If you want to ask about the stock price of Boda Materials, it’s just me I still understand it, and the possibility of further rise in the future is relatively high, if you want to buy the bottom, you can consider it.”

Xiao Zhan smiled secretly, and lightly squeezed the hands around Lu Chuiqing's waist.

Only then did Mr. Deng suddenly understand that the Omega in front of him might not be the kind of Qiu Nai he introduced to Xiao Zhan before, but the real "righteous master".

He recalled the bunch of bastard words he said in front of the other party just now, and the cold sweat broke out immediately.

Mr. Deng looked a little embarrassed and terrified, he stumbled and said: "So it's like this... I'm sorry for your trouble."

Xiao Zhan's slightly cold eyes pierced Mr. Deng's back, and Mr. Tian on the side looked at him impatiently. Mr. Deng sat down for a while, and then used the excuse that he still has an appointment with a certain director. , called the group of actors and actresses, and left in a hurry.

After Mr. Deng left, Mr. Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sincerely said: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. Mr. Deng didn't tell me that he was coming in advance, and what he said...was also unintentional. I hope you don't mind. As for the project I mentioned, Mr. Xiao, you see..."

Xiao Zhan: "Don't worry, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Although Xiao Zhan didn't agree immediately, it was better than directly refusing, so President Tian heaved a sigh of relief and agreed again and again.

After the matter was almost finished, Mr. Tian sent Xiao Zhan and Lu Chuiqing out of the clubhouse and said goodbye to them.

After getting in the car, Lu Chuiqing let out a sigh of relief, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's really not easy to deal with these people every day."

Xiao Zhan: "Don't you think about what I said just now?"

"What?"

"Be my personal advisor."

"Forget it, it's okay to fool other people, but you and I can't fool you..."

Xiao Zhan loosened the tie around his neckline and unbuttoned the two buttons of his shirt. The soft corners of his mouth and expression made him look in a good mood.He turned his head to look at Lu Chuiqing, suddenly turned sideways, and placed a light kiss on Lu Chuiqing's side neck.

Lu Chuiqing blushed, and clutched her neck: "Why, all of a sudden..."

Xiao Zhan's cell phone rang at this moment, so he skipped Lu Chuiqing's question and connected the call.The call lasted only half a minute, but Xiao Zhan's expression changed a little meaningfully.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhan started the car and said, "Boda's independent directors began to doubt the authenticity of the company's deposits in the bank. A joint statement will be issued next Monday. Let's wait and see."
