Chapter 823: Celebration Banquet

Of course Qiao Bao'er wouldn't refuse food. She picked it up and ate it. Because the jerky was so hard, she could only bite off a little piece of meat from the edge, holding it in her mouth and chewin..."Those media company TV stations, with beautiful women everywhere, the women who mix there have the most vicious hearts, never underestimate them."

Song Mengmeng heard that her good friend Fang Mei accompanied Henry to a celebration banquet, so she had her do beauty treatments and hairstyling early in the morning. She picked out jewelry, clothes, and even found a professional designer to design her look.

"Henry is quite the catch now, all those women would eat him alive in a minute. You need to be wary of all those rivals."

"Tonight, you absolutely have to dress to impress!"

Song Mengmeng, with a grand sweep of her hand, led several aggressive beauticians forward to pull Fang Mei away for a "steaming and cooking" makeover.

Fang Mei rarely spends money on beauty treatments. She was taken to a small room and stripped naked, which made her very uncomfortable. The beauticians then applied a dark, muddy substance all over her body, wrapping her up like an earth spirit that had just crawled out of the ground.

"...It's not that exaggerated, Henry doesn't have any interest in women outside of our relationship."

She lay flat on the beauty bed, her voice muffled as she chatted with Song Mengmeng.

"Fang Mei, even though you've lived in France for so many years, you haven't witnessed the terrifying power of a woman's jealousy."

Song Mengmeng clearly has gotten used to splurging at this beauty salon. While getting a full-face mud mask, she also crunched on fruit with impressive speed and gusto.

"Like I used to be a silly fool, ever since my dad married his stepmother, look at me now, reborn! I wouldn't dare underestimate that fake innocent little green tea bitch!"

Thinking of the Song family's troubles, Song Mengmeng hated it so much that her expression was twisted.

A beautician rushed over and held her down. "Ouch. Miss Song, how many times have I told you You can't eat, talk, or make exaggerated facial expressions when applying the mud mask. What if you get fine lines"

Song Mengmeng is a regular customer at the shop, but it seems she doesn't do beauty treatments to become prettier; rather, it seems like she does it purely for leisure and to spend money.

"Today, you guys don't worry about me, just remember to make my friend good. We will be going into battle tonight."

Fang Mei always felt that Song Mengmeng exaggerated things too much.

But when they arrived at the celebratory hotel and saw beautiful women appearing one after another, it was just like a TV show with many celebrities vying for attention on the red carpet.

"...I feel like no matter how I dress, I can't compare to them." There was a hint of insecurity in her voice.

Fang Mei wore a champagne-colored cocktail dress tonight, looking very elegant and refined. However, standing among the other beauties in front of her, she really paled in comparison.

"You don't need to compare yourself to them, today's celebration is for Henry, and you are Henry's girlfriend, naturally putting you a step above them."

Song Mengmeng wore a black suit, fifteen centimeters of ultra-high heels, standing straight as if she were walking the runway. She linked arms with Fang Mei and wandered through the crowd.

Where is Henry

Song Mengmeng was very unhappy that Henry hadn't met them at the door, making them feel like clueless flies bumping into things everywhere.

"He's very busy with work, there's no way around it. We agreed to meet at the venue." Fang Mei defended him for a few sentences.

Song Mengmeng snorted through her nose.

Looking around, there are so many people here! It doesn't feel like an ordinary celebration for a show. Lots of big businesspeople are here, especially those glamorous female celebrities. There are even more of them than businessmen.

"No wonder, look at that man over there wearing the bright blue suit."

Suddenly, Song Mengmeng pointed to a man on the right who was raising his glass and talking to someone, and quietly leaned into Fang Mei's ear and told her.

"That man is Lu Qinan, a very famous big shot in the city. He's also Henry's current investor, and he has tons of scandals. It seems like all these women are here for him today."

Fang Mei didn't understand the gossip about circles and stared seriously at the other person. That man was so young, he was actually Henry's investment boss.

Lu Qinan was chatting with his friends on the side, and suddenly turned his head, he found two women pointing at him. They didn't have flattering eyes, it seemed like they were studying him.

"Lu, you've got your eyes on some young lady, haven't you" his friend teased him.

"I heard that Aunt Lu is going to post a notice seeking candidates for your marriage, hahaha!"

Lu Qinan pressed his forehead, and as soon as he thought of his grandmother, the Empress Dowager, he immediately got a headache.

"None of the older guys I know got married, my mom just picked on me because I'm easy to manipulate...I just thought those two girls looked familiar."

Lu Qinan was telling the truth. Logically speaking, he wouldn't care about those two women's appearances because they were unremarkable, and he didn't seem to have seen them before.

He's seen so many women before, it doesn't really matter.

When it came to women, he would get furious. “Has Qiao Ba’er arrived” Lu Qinan asked through gritted teeth.

"Who"

A few of my friends couldn't remember who Qiao Baoer was at first. "Who are you looking for, Mr. Lu Look over there, a bunch of women are giving us the eye tonight. It seems like we're in for a good time hahaha…"

Several people were laughing, "I said, has Jun Zhi Mu's wife arrived" Lu Qin Nan added coldly.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

"Hug, sorry."

"No offense, I absolutely didn't mean any offense!"

A few men who were arrogant in the business district suddenly felt a chill down their spines with nervous sweat.

"Mr. Lu, I don't think Mr. Jun will be coming tonight. Earlier we just... our brains must have turned to mush, we lacked sense and didn't even know the name of your sister-in-law."

"Yes, yes, you could break my legs and I wouldn't dare to make jokes about your sister-in-law."

What is Jun Zhi's identity and personality Before he got married, he was difficult to get along with. It is said that in the past few years after his marriage, he has become even more unfathomable. His network of interests is larger and touches the whole world. Now even elders dare not provoke him.

The key is they found out that Junzhi Mu is very protective of his wife and has always kept her hidden, unwilling to bring her out to meet people.

If the shepherd found out that I was making fun of his wife, I wouldn't just be dead, I'd be skinned alive. After that, I wouldn't be able to stay in this line of work anymore.

Lu Qinian glanced at the group of cowards, "This time I also sent invitations to the Jun family, I don't know if they will come. If you see them, let me know."

He tossed off a cool remark, then turned to schmooze with other business associates.

Hearing that Junzhi's shepherd might bring his wife to this small celebration, everyone hurriedly took out their phones to send the first-hand news.

"Are everyone seem particularly excited tonight"

Even if Henry wasn't good at reading the room, he could sense that the people there were excited and seemed to be anticipating something.

Lu Qinan walked over and patted him on the shoulder, raising his cup to him. "Congratulations on the new program going so smoothly. You've worked hard."

Henry raised his glass in a polite toast and smiled in return.

Suddenly Henry beckoned in one direction, "Fang Mei, over here."

Fang Mei and Song Mengmeng walked over. At first glance, they saw that the famous tycoon playboy from City University was right in front of them, and they felt a little awkward.

"Have we met before"

Lu Qinan raised his standard smile and asked directly.

Fang Mei felt guilty. They had been staring at the man this whole time, it was really rude.

"I thought you were pretty just now, so I took a few extra glances at you." Song Mengmeng answered openly.

Lu Qin'nan shook his head. "No, I mean, haven't I seen the two of you ladies somewhere before"

He had some recollection of their faces, but couldn't place them.

Henry heard that Lu Qinan was a very famous entertainment headline playboy in China before, it is said that he could change girlfriends every half month.

Henry quickly took Fang Mei's hand and said, "This is my girlfriend, Fang Mei."

"This is my girlfriend's best friend, Song Mengmeng."

"Hello." Lu Qinan smiled warmly and shook their hands.

Fang Mei and Song Mengmeng instantly felt that this rich man surnamed Lu was quite kind.

"Mr. Lu, may I ask you something in private" A sweet voice interrupted, belonging to Henry's manager, Jiang Shiyi.

"Mr. Lu, is it true that Mr. Jun from &am;am; will be attending our program's celebration party"

Even Jiang Shiyi's voice couldn't help but rise with excitement.

If the big boss is willing to attend, it would be a huge honor. They would then be swimming in success.

Henry listened, his expression also shocked. "No wonder I always felt like everyone was looking towards the door, expecting someone to come."

The heir and current president of the &am; group, supposedly named Jun Zhi Mu, is even someone Henry has heard about in Europe.

Lu Qinan glanced at his watch and muttered to himself, "Originally, the young mistress of the Jun family had agreed to attend. It seems she has been confined by Zhi Mu."

These top families' private affairs, they wouldn't dare to inquire about.

"Henry, let me introduce you to some friends." Lu Qinian gestured toward Henry with his eyes and turned, giving a friendly smile. "Ladies, please enjoy the food first. We'll ask you to dance when we men are finished with business, okay"

Lu Qinan's flirting skills were on full display. He spoke with grace, smiled just the right amount, and exuded an air of aristocratic gentlemanliness that left several women in the room blushing furiously.ect us, that would be a big problem.”For a long time, there was no response from the person in the room.Qiao Baoer really wanted to slip out, but she was afraid of being scolded by them. She felt both...
