From Pokfulam to Central

Chapter 54 Dinner

Zhou Mi set the bell-ringing ceremony for listing on the last Friday before June 6.

In fact, according to Zhou Xianli's opinion and the investment bank's suggestion, the date could have been advanced a few days.The reason is simple. Since all the conditions are ripe, the sooner the better, the deadline must be stepped on, and people are always afraid that if something goes wrong, the day will be delayed.

But Zhou Mi disagreed.Qu Zhi's plane arrived in Hong Kong on Friday afternoon. Although the bell-ringing ceremony before the market opened every morning would never be in time, Zhou Mi wanted him to at least have time to attend the celebration dinner on the night of the bell-ringing.Qu Zhi has contributed a lot to the company's listing on time, and Zhou Mi wants him to have the opportunity to share this achievement.

Qu Zhi's plane landed on time, and he and Chen Shuo didn't even have time to put their luggage home, so they took a taxi directly to the hotel where the banquet was held.The reason why Qu Zhi called Chen Shuo was because he was afraid of being bored, after all, he only knew Zhou Mi in the audience, but he would definitely be busy greeting the guests, and on the other hand, it was also because he was somewhat stage frightened.

Although Qu Zhi has already decided to be with Zhou Mi, the impact of their identity gap on his heart cannot be bridged overnight.Thinking that the guests invited by Zhou Mi are all dignitaries in society, Qu Zhi was afraid that he would appear to be out of tune with everything around him.

Chen Shuo didn't really want to go with him. Firstly, Zhou Mi didn't invite him, and secondly, he was not suitable for attending such a business occasion. It was only after hearing that Wan Ziying would also come that he agreed to Qu Zhi's request. ask.

When the taxi stopped at the main entrance of the hotel, Zhou Mi and Zhao Dong had already waited outside the door for a long time, and the two sent Qu Zhi and Chen Shuo to the rooms that had been reserved for them in advance.

After closing the door, Qu folded his arms across his chest, silently looking at Zhou Mi.

While Zhou Mi was busy packing his luggage, he kept chattering and asking about his health, but he didn't hear a response for a long time, and then he felt something was wrong. When he turned around, he found that Qu Zhi was staring straight at him, and his hands froze instantly.

"Little Mr. Zhou," Qu Zhi elongated the voice of each word, playfully recited the title he had just heard from Zhao Dong, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhou Mi, you're showing off."

Zhou Mi didn't understand, but just looking at Qu Zhi's expression was enough to make him nervous.

Seeing Zhou Mi's foolishness, Qu Zhi wanted to laugh, but he still tried to put on a serious face, "That Zhao Dong, we met at the airport, don't you remember?"

Zhou Mi finally came to his senses, he wished he could knock his head open and see what kind of rubbish was inside, why he forgot about it in a hurry.

"Tsk, at that time he pretended to call you brother, I felt something was wrong at the time, but I still believed in your evil." Qu Zhi narrowed his eyes and put his hands on his hips, forcing a confession: "Tell me, how many lies do you have to finish telling?" Didn't admit it?"

Zhou Mi felt that something was wrong, but he really had nothing to say, so he hugged Qu Zhi's arm, imagined himself as a koala, and then acted coquettishly, "Oh, Qu Zhi, I Wrong, after I told a lie, I had to cover it up in various ways. I swear, I have never lied to you except that I have been obsessed with ghosts and concealed my identity from you before. Qu Zhi, okay Qu Zhi, I have deeply realized my mistake, so just trust me, okay, please, huh?"

Qu Zhi was overjoyed, but he wanted to put on a disgusted look, and said coldly, "Let go."

"I don't," Zhou Mi acted smugly, invincible, "If you don't forgive me, I won't let you go. We haven't seen each other for over a month, I think you've lost your mind, even if you don't feel bad, At least don't treat me like this, okay?"

Qu Zhi took a closer look and found that he was indeed a little thinner than before, so he softened his heart and stopped putting on airs, "Okay, okay, let me go first, otherwise I won't give you a gift. "

Zhou Mi was taken aback for a moment, and then said ecstatically, "A gift? Didn't you say you won't buy it?!"

Qu Zhi pulled his hand out of Zhou Mi's arms, his eyes wandered around, pretending not to hear.

Zhou Mi couldn't wait, so he was about to open Qu Zhi's suitcase, "Where is it, show it to me!"

Qu Zhi stopped him, "Hey, hey, wait a minute, where is the gift you gave me?"

"Ah?" Zhou Mi had already opened the combination lock, but stopped his movements, "You're all at home, what's wrong?"

"That won't work," Qu Zhi closed the box again, "I'll see what you bought for me before deciding whether to give it or not."

Zhou Mi slandered, you bought everything, do you still have a reason to keep it for yourself, but said: "Okay, okay, I will ask you for it when I get home at night. Tell me about you, you must whet my appetite. "

Not to be outdone, Qu Zhi rolled his eyes, "To each other."

Hey, what else can I do other than pampering the person I like?

Zhou Mi didn't know how bright the smile on his face was, he only knew that he really wanted time to stop at this moment.It's a pity that there are still a lot of things waiting for him to do in the venue downstairs, so we have to say goodbye to this precious moment of tenderness.

Before leaving, Zhou Mi took out a suit with a very unique style from the closet, handed it to Qu Zhi, and said, "The formal suit you brought to the competition was packed all the way in the suitcase, and it should be all wrinkled. Go ahead, it's specially prepared for you."

According to Zhou Mi's instructions, Qu Zhi lay on the big Simmons bed in the single room of the five-star hotel, rested for more than half an hour, and then changed into new clothes and went out, just in time to meet Chen Shuo in the corridor.

Chen Shuo first greeted Qu Zhi to go out as usual, then suddenly, as if he had recovered, he turned his head to look at the man again, and then sharply said, "Hey, I haven't seen you wear this dress before?"

"Oh," Qu Zhi used monosyllabic words to hide his sweet embarrassment, "Zhou Mi just gave it."

"Yo, not bad." Chen Shuo smiled knowingly, reached out and turned up the hem of the clothes, and after seeing the logo printed on the inner lining, he uttered a word that Qu Zhi had never heard before with a little surprise.

Qu Zhi understood the subtext in this tone, and his face became unnatural for a moment, "What brand is it, is it expensive?"

Chen Shuo realized that he might be talking too much, so he quickly said, "No, no, I don't know anyone."

Qu Zhi and Chen Shuo came to the second floor of the hotel where the banquet hall was located. From a distance, they saw Zhao Dong busy at the door welcoming him and seeing him off, and Zhou Mi was also holding champagne in the hall, and came with a few people. The guests of Hexi chatted enthusiastically.

Seeing Qu Zhi appear, Zhou Mi left everyone around him and brought him to Zhou Xianli's side.

"Dad, Mom," Zhou Mi took Qu Zhi's arm, as if he didn't expect to let go, "Let me introduce to you two, this is Qu Zhi, the classmate I mentioned before, who helped the company save the day. Qu Zhi , These are my parents."

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie." Qu Zhi calmly put the arm that Zhou Mi was pulling behind his back, greeted the two elders politely, and then said modestly: "Don't listen to Zhou Mi's exaggeration, I actually didn't help What's busy."

In fact, Zhou Xianli has never understood why Zhou Mi did not hesitate to postpone the date of ringing the bell, and insisted on waiting for this person to come back and introduce him to him.Ordinarily, he is just an ordinary contact, after helping out, give some benefits, and continue to maintain the relationship in the future.These thoroughnesses can be handled by themselves without the need for the chairman to come forward in person.Could it be that this kid wanted something too serious, and Zhou Mi cared about the feelings of his classmates so he couldn't refuse it, but he really couldn't make the decision?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xianli decided to find out the truth first, "Xiao Qu, I always heard Zhou Mi mentioning you. When I saw you today, you are indeed smart, capable, young and promising, unlike those inexperienced college students. The company's affairs are thanks to you. Help, tell me, what do you want as a reward? How about, wait a moment, uncle will give you a big red envelope?"

Uncle Zhou changed the topic so quickly that Qu Zhi didn't understand what was going on.

Zhou Mi guessed that his father was thinking too much, so he quickly explained: "Dad, what are you talking about, Qu Zhi didn't help out because of your little money, he did it for my sake, we two are— -good friend."

After speaking, Zhou Mi sneaked a successful smirk at Qu Zhi, and the latter was really afraid that he would say something that he shouldn't say for a moment just now.

Zhou Mi's eyes on Qu Zhi were not seen by his father, but by his mother.For some reason, Mrs. Zhou's mind suddenly appeared in the mind of her son's smiling face when he mentioned this person when he was at home last time. She didn't dare to follow this line of thought, and quickly cut off this absurd speculation, and turned to Qu Zhi: "Xiao Qu, your uncle doesn't know how to talk. He actually thinks you are good and doesn't know how to thank you. That's why he said that."

"Well, I know," Qu Zhi felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your kindness. In fact, I really didn't help much. Don't say thank you, I deserve it."

What Qu Zhi said was the truth, but unfortunately Zhou Xianli listened to it intentionally, and always felt that he had some big conspiracy, so he continued to probe: "That's right, an ambitious young man like you must not value cash, after all, he is dead Or do you want to come to Wanjia to work after graduation, as long as you don’t plan to eat a fat man and start working as a middle-level job, uncle can arrange for you, and if you perform well, you may even be able to get a Beijing hukou.”

Qu Zhi figured it out this time, Ganqing Zhoumi's father thought he was here to claim credit, so he couldn't help showing embarrassment.Fortunately, Zhao Dong's appearance broke the freezing atmosphere in the room of the four in time, and he said respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, the guests are almost here, we can start."

After Chen Shuo entered the venue, he saw that Qu Zhi was called by Zhou Mi to meet his parents, so he didn't join in the fun. His eyes began to search the crowd, and he finally found Wan Ziying, whom he hadn't seen for several months.

After Wan Ziying found out that the person walking towards her was Chen Shuo, she was pleasantly surprised: "Why are you here?!"

Chen Shuo pointed in the direction of Qu Zhi with his chin, "I accompanied him here."

"Oh——" Wan Ziying showed a knowing smile, "It seems that they are in a good relationship now."

Remembering what he saw Qu Zhi buy for Zhou Mi in Vienna, Chen Shuo nodded and said, "Well, it's almost at the end of the day.—Leave them alone, how are you doing recently, are you busy with work?"

"It's been okay recently, oh, yes," Wan Ziying said, as if he suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone and shared a file with Chen Shuo, "The program of the Military World Games has been completed, but the Taiwan Now the schedule is not open, so it has not been released, you can watch the one I sent you first, and it will be broadcast on TV in two days."

Chen Shuo took out his mobile phone and looked at the seven-episode series of one-hour episodes in the folder. He suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before, and said sincerely, "That's great, thank you."

"Thank you for what I did, I should thank you," Wan Ziying smiled sincerely and purely, "By the way, I wrote your name in the thank you column at the end of the film without your consent, don't you mind?" ?”

Chen Shuo couldn't believe that his name could just appear in Wan Ziying's program, and he clicked on an episode of the video and dragged the progress bar to the end. do not mind."

Gradually applause erupted from the crowd, and Zhou Mi took the stage in front of everyone's attention, and made the opening remarks with ease.Seeing him showing a side he had never seen before, at this moment, Qu Zhi realized that some people really shine.

He is personable, dignified, suave, majestic, with a jade tree facing the wind, unparalleled in the world...

Qu Zhi only hated that he was not a dictionary of idioms, that he couldn't put all the beautiful words on Zhou Mi.

Qu Zhi put one hand into the pocket of his trousers, and the palm holding the two men's pair of rings was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.On the inside of the rings of the pair of rings, one is engraved with "QZ" and the other is engraved with "ZM".

Although Zhou Mi always had a playful smile on weekdays, once it was a formal occasion, he could show a serious look.As the host, Zhou Mi used his solemn but humorous language to string together the lengthy speeches of Wan Zhenting, Chairman of Wanjia Group, CEO of Hong Kong Stock Exchange and CEO of Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission.Finally, Zhou Xianli, Chairman of Wanjia Real Estate, as the host of the dinner, made the finale speech.

Zhou Mi stood on the side of the stage, not listening to what his father was saying, but kept glancing at Qu Zhi's direction. Only understand emotions.

Zhou Xianli's speech came to an end, and he changed his serious and rigid tone just now, and said a little excitedly: "Besides, I would like to take this opportunity today to announce another good news to my relatives and friends. Everyone knows that I He and Wan are good brothers who worked hard together in the mall before, but in the future, we decided to let the Zhou family and Wan's family get closer. I solemnly announce that one month later, my son Zhou Mi will marry Mr. Wan's daughter Wan Ziying, officially engaged!"
