Chapter 173 Banquet
Chapter 173 Banquet
Thinking further...
In fact, Gu Shi didn't like socializing. These days at home, she heard his colleagues and the company's management calling him to go out for dinner.
Gu Shi would push it whenever he could.
But it is obvious that Mr. Sheng’s invitation cannot be declined, or should not be refused.
Why not turn it down?
She seemed to know the answer herself. Gu Shi's future development in Hu City might not require the help of President Sheng, so it was always a good idea to get closer to him.
Moreover, Gu Shi and Mr. Sheng have a relationship of both superior and subordinate, as well as elder and junior.
Gu Shi may need Mr. Sheng's help in the future.
Then this banquet becomes very important.
Chu Ya twirled her fingers, wishing she could help Gu Shi.
She turned on her phone, swiped aside Guan Qingqing's message, and sent a message to Gu Shi: [I've decided. I want to attend the banquet with you.]
Gu Shi: [(smirking) Do you want to eat king crab? I'll pick you up from school later and take you to eat it in the evening.]
Chuya: [……]
In Gu Shi's eyes, is she so superficial?
She rolled her eyes: [Actually, you are wrong. I want to go to the party and wear a beautiful evening gown.]
Gu Shi replied quickly, with a doting tone between the lines: [Okay, I'll take you to buy it later.]
Chu Ya looked at the message he replied. The better Gu Shi treated her, the more she wanted to help him.
She sent a message to Ji Yunyun: [Senior, can you give me the phone number of the etiquette teacher you know? ]
Ji Yunyun quickly replied: [What do you want to do? The one-on-one etiquette teacher is very expensive. I didn’t buy it last time I consulted.]
Chuya: [I have an important business dinner to attend in three days, and I need to buy an evening gown this afternoon. I would like to ask the etiquette teacher for advice.]
Ji Yunyun quickly pushed over the etiquette teacher's business card.
Chu Ya added, and then started to read Guan Qingqing's news.
Guan Qingqing: [Chu Ya, have you heard? People from Chia City University and Shan City University are going to be exchange students at two universities in Hu City.]
Chu Ya: [I don’t know anything at all?!]
Guan Qingqing: [I found out from Jingming’s post on WeChat Moments that she was going to Lake City. I felt very happy about it.]
Chu Ya frowned. In the previous life... was there an exchange student?
She didn't seem to remember it, but she was busy working in her previous life and didn't pay attention to these things...
Guan Qingqing: [I just checked. Isn't Jingming in Jia City? He is going to Huguang University as an exchange student, and the students from Shanshi University are going to Shanhe University as an exchange student...]
Chu Ya's mind was dizzy. Doesn't that mean Jing Ming is in the same school as Gu Shi? But then she thought, Gu Shi rarely goes to school now, so even if Jing Ming came, he might not be able to meet him.
As for Shanshi University, when she mentioned Shanshi, she thought of Ji Heng...
No, it wouldn't be such a coincidence. That annoying guy Ji Heng wouldn't come...
She frowned. For some reason, she had already started to resist Ji Heng before he came.
If Jing Ming came and stayed in the same school as Gu Shi, and Ji Heng came and stayed in the same school as her, that would be a real Shura field.
She found it funny just thinking about it. She shouldn't be so unlucky.
How could it be such a coincidence...
I quickly put my worries to rest and went to the teaching building for class.
After class, Gu Shi drove downstairs to pick her up, and Wang Siyuan and Luo Yiyue were cheering on the side.
Chuya's face turned red and she quickly got into the car.
Gu Shi started the car quickly. Chu Ya waved to her roommates and turned to look at the roadside.
He was driving a convertible today. It was a cool afternoon, and the fallen leaves on the roadside were picturesque and very pleasant.
Gu Shi drove with one hand and held her hand with the other: "Is this the daily life you envied?"
Chuya nodded and moved closer to him: "Jingming is coming."
Gu Shi's expression remained unchanged. He looked at her and smiled, "What does it have to do with me?"
Chu Ya blinked: "She is coming to your school as an exchange student. We might bump into her sometimes."
Gu Shi still asked back: "What does it have to do with me?"
Chu Ya felt somewhat relieved. She had been overthinking it. What did Jing Ming's coming to Hu City have to do with them?
She is very happy now.
Go to a physical store with him to choose an evening gown.
She had her eyes on a fishtail skirt that showed off her figure better and was about to ask Gu Shi to pay with his credit card...but suddenly she remembered that she went there for Gu Shi, so of course everything revolved around him.
I took off the mermaid skirt and tried on a few pieces that looked simpler and more elegant.
She took a photo and sent it to her etiquette teacher, and finally chose a caramel-colored evening dress based on the teacher's advice.
This piece also looks more stable when paired with Gu Shi's dark suit.
Gu Shi was checking out at the counter, and Chu Ya also made an appointment with the makeup artist and stylist.
They didn't go to have dinner until they came out with the dresses.
-
Soon it was time to go to the banquet.
The assistant drove to pick them up, and Gu Shi and her sat in the back seat.
Chu Ya lowered her eyes. She had learned etiquette for a few days, and her etiquette teacher had already told her everything she needed to know.
I just felt a little troubled and a little nervous, but I comforted myself that I could just get through tonight.
Soon they arrived at the villa. The assistant parked the car and opened the door for her. Chu Ya got out of the car, took Gu Shi's arm, and walked into the villa.
The manor is built on a circular lake. The sunset in the evening is reflected in the water, making everything look magnificent.
She kept in mind what the etiquette teacher said and didn't look around, as if she was accustomed to everything.
After entering the room, she followed Gu Shi obediently. Whenever he greeted someone, she would greet him with a smile.
Soon it was time for dinner, and she sat opposite Gu Shi as arranged by the host.
Sheng Jun said some words to keep Gu Shi.
Chu Ya looked around and saw company executives in their forties and fifties, as well as Sheng Jun's family. Her wife was also in her fifties and had a little granddaughter with her.
She and Gu Shi were the youngest, so of course toasting was a must.
After everyone finished their polite words, she looked for the right opportunity and poured wine for the people around her, appearing to be very tactful.
Gu Shi quickly stood up and toasted the elder leaders.
He has high emotional intelligence, speaks just right, without making any mistakes, and is humble but not servile.
The leaders and elders looked at him with admiration, saying that he had a bright future and that there was a lot of young people to be feared.
But when Chu Ya looked at it, her eyes felt a little sore.
She still remembers the scene of her first meeting with Gu Shi.
The arrogant young man walked down the stairs surrounded by the crowd: "From today on, you are my partner."
She also remembered that when they first came to Lake City, he carried her home on his back.
Even though his leg was injured, he still stood straight, unable to conceal the rebellious demeanor of a young boy.
He broke up with his father for her and didn't ask for a penny from his family. This shows his backbone.
But today, she saw his waist bent.
In fact, this was always the case when Gu Shi was entertaining people in the past...
The round table was so big, and after a round of toasts, he didn't know how much wine he drank...
