Chapter 41:

Upstairs and downstairs of the Lu Family are two worlds.
Upstairs is quiet and undisturbed, and downstairs are all guests. Although everyone was very polite and did not communicate loudly, Zhou Chenxi and Lu Ji came downstairs, still faintly feeling that holding Lu Ji's arm under the public is a bit inappropriate, so quietly took out his hand.
Lu Ji realized that he didn't say anything, and quickly put his hand down.
The whole process only took a few seconds, and someone saw it sharply.
Everyone came to the banquet at night, and they talked about the host’s affairs in public. So even if they saw it, they wouldn’t say anything. At most, they would exchange their eyes and continue to do their own things tacitly.
It was getting dark, and the dim sum buffet table in the back garden was closed and changed to an indoor Western-style buffet dinner.
Lu Ji greeted the guests, and Zhou Chenxi suddenly felt a little hungry. He walked around the living room boredly, and took the plate to fetch the food by himself.
Zhi Qi happened to come over with a plate. There were a lot of delicious food on his plate. He seemed to be quite satisfied with Lu's dinner buffet.
While tasting the foie gras, Zhi Qi asked Zhou Chenxi, "Why did Mr. Lu ask you to discuss new advertising cooperation?"
"No," Zhou Chenxi looked around, "Why does he want to talk to me about cooperation? If he wants to talk, he should talk to you!"
Zhi Qi was relieved.
Zhou Chenxi’s recent development momentum is very good. He had a big boss paving the way for him to participate in the audition of "Cat Demon Story". Although Zhi Qi didn't know who the big boss was, he was afraid that Zhou Chenxi would learn badly.
When the time comes, either run with the boss, or leave the poor company and his poor broker to find another way out.
With Zhou Chenxi's words now, Zhi Qi breathed a sigh of relief for some reason: "Don't worry, I will pay you the perfume money as soon as possible."
Zhou Chenxi waved his hand, not caring about it at all.
"So why is he looking for you?" Zhi Qi is still very concerned about this matter. "Do you know that I just came out of the side hall. Did you hear what the people over there were saying?"
Zhou Chenxi turned to face Zhi Qi, indicating that he was listening, while his eyes were still looking for food.
He is not interested in Western food, eh, I feel that Western food is always a bit cold.
"They said that Mr. Lu has taken care of a little star and will bring him to see Mrs. Lu today." Zhi Qi said.
"?!" Zhou Chenxi turned his face away, "Who? Why don't I know?"
Zhi Qi looked at him and said, "Hey, this thing is spreading with nose and eyes. Everyone is waiting to see the excitement. You really don't take it seriously. When you were downstairs with Mr. Lu just now, many people looked at you. The look in his eyes is not quite right. Be careful, if something is really misunderstood, I don’t know how to help you with PR."
"Oh."
It turned out to be reminding him.
Zhou Chenxi said something perfunctorily, and when he saw the burning eggs in his bowl, his eyes lit up: "Where did you come from, I want to eat too!"
"Tsk, you know how to eat," Zhi Qi glanced at him disgustingly, and pointed to the side, "Is there a chef who sees it over there?"
"It's also weird," Zhi Qi muttered. "The Lu family specially invited a chef to set up a dining table there. I thought at least a steak or something was needed. I didn't expect that people would only burn with eggs, and they would still be taken far away. The movie studio invited it over."
"Wow, really?!" Zhou Chenxi was so happy that he quickly picked up the dinner plate and rushed over.
Zhi Qi: "..." This child is hopelessly hopeless.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Lu was late. She wore a dark evening dress with smooth skin and she looked young.
She is not tall, and with the slim-fitting gown, the whole person looks weak and weak, arousing people's desire for protection for no reason.
"Sorry, I'm late," Lin Yujiao smiled and apologized to the guests who came to greet him. "I have an appointment with the master of the Dazhi Buddhist Temple to listen to Zen, and I forgot the time when I was absorbed."
"Mrs. Lu goes to the Dazhi Buddha Temple every birthday. Listening to Zen can calm one's heart, no wonder she looks so young."
Lin Yujiao smiled and nodded, and walked to the center of the main hall.
"Thank you for coming," she raised the microphone and smiled slightly. "Today's birthday party was hosted by my son Lu Ji, thank him. It is all his heart, please feel free to please bear with me if you are not thoughtful. ."
The guests were polite and wished her a happy birthday, and she accepted them with a smile.
After a while, Lu Ji came over, Lin Yujiao said a few words in his ear, Lu Ji smiled, stretched out his hand and gently hugged her.
"Something's wrong." Zhou Chenxi frowned and said while holding the dinner plate.
"What's wrong?" Zhi Qi asked him.
"How can ordinary people be like this on their birthdays," Zhou Chenxi said while eating egg-boiled eggs, "my mother would not thank me like this."
"Why don't I think?" Zhi Qi didn't understand, "Isn't President Lu responsible for this birthday? What's wrong with a thank you? And how does your family compare to President Lu's family?"
Zhi Qi didn't understand what Zhou Chenxi was thinking about.
"I don't know, it's strange anyway." Zhou Chenxi said.
Not only that, Zhou Ma would not even thank Zhou Mingxuan.
Zhou Chenxi was young at that time, and the Zhou family, like the Lu family, was a family that needed foreign relations.
Therefore, Zhou Mingxuan will not forget to organize Zhou's mother's birthday party.
Although their circles are different, their goals are always the same.
Zhou Mingxuan is in charge of Lu's. The purpose of this birthday party is to allow him to broaden his social circle and achieve various commercial cooperation between exchanges.
It is said that business is easy to talk about at the wine table and banquet, that's the reason.
Although everyone came with a purpose, Zhou's mother also knew that they not only celebrated her birthday, but Zhou's mother still wouldn't show Zhou Mingxuan too much at the birthday party.
After all, Zhou’s mother is the protagonist of the birthday party. When most people ask, she inadvertently mentions:
Oh, my son did the banquet today, what’s the matter? Isn’t that supposed to be? What? You said my little son? Don't mention it, I know silly music all day long. I am spoiled by his brother. Look at the gift he gave. Yes, it is the painting. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahaha..."
Although Zhou Chenxi was mocked by Zhou's mother, he knew that was what his mother should do.
Be shrewd and capable in front of guests, so that others can rest assured of Zhou's family.
But to Mrs. Lu, she doesn't seem to know this.
It seemed that for such a crowded occasion, she was a little timid, as if Lu Ji had been standing in front of her in turn, calming her heart.
"I told you, you don't understand." Zhou Chenxi was too lazy to explain to Zhi Qi, and suddenly couldn't eat anything.
Zhi Qi saw that there was no problem here, Zhou Chenxi just ate quietly and didn't do anything that worries him, so he ran to continue communicating with his colleagues.
After a while, Lu Ji came over and asked Zhou Chenxi in a low voice, "How is it, can I have enough today?"
Although Zhou Chenxi did not eat much, he still touched his stomach and said, "If only there is a place to collapse."
Lu Ji understood in an instant, and said with a smile: "Since I'm full, my mother wants to see you, come with me?"
Zhou Chenxi suddenly became nervous.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ji glanced at him, "Don't worry, she is very nice and won't embarrass you, just meet her."
"I just didn't think about what to say to her." Zhou Chenxi explained, but he adjusted his suit and walked to the side hall with Lu Ji.
There are not many people in the side hall, it is very quiet, there is a small coffee table in the corner, facing the French windows, Mrs. Lu is sitting there drinking tea.
Zhou Chen said, "Mrs. Lu."
Lin Yujiao stood up hurriedly: "It's Chenxi? Didn't you call me aunt before? Don't be so polite and sit down."
Zhou Chenxi sat down opposite her.
Lu Ji stood by and helped make tea.
Lin Yujiao glanced at Lu Ji and said with a smile: "We are very good An'an people. You should also know that he has always had nothing to worry about. I'm afraid he is too busy. No one can take care of him for me in the future, so I did it. What happened before, hey, don’t care."
Zhou Chenxi didn't understand--why didn't he understand a word?
"Oh, An An is Lu Ji's nickname." Lin Yujiao explained.
It turns out that Lu Ji's nickname is "An An"?
Zhou Chenxi was instantly energetic, and blinked quietly at Luji, as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
Lu Ji couldn't laugh or cry.
"I mean," Lin Yujiao explained with a smile when he saw that he didn't understand, "I didn't know that An An had such a relationship with you before, so I watched Yun Yi on the show and encouraged the director to let you talk. Yun Yi is a good one. Girls, I just want to be strong. I always wanted to match them up... Then I heard An An talk about it, and it turns out that he doesn't like women..."
"Mom." Lu Ji interrupted her.
Lin Yujiao came back to her senses.
Lu Ji just took Zhou Chenxi and Lin Yujiao to get to know him now, and what if someone scares away if he says too much?
What do you dislike women?
Don't like strong women?
Zhou Chenxi was confused and said, "It's okay, it's the most important thing for everyone to be consensual. It's the most responsible way to be responsible for each other when some things are open."
Lin Yujiao nodded in agreement and glanced at Lu Ji.
Lu Ji was sure that what the two said was definitely not the same thing, a little helpless.
The time is almost up. Lin Yujiao should go back to rest early in a while. She doesn't seem to be in good health recently, she always has a cold, and she will send a few important guests out later, so don't delay the time.
Lu Ji wanted to bring Zhou Chenxi and Lin Yujiao to meet, so that Lin Yujiao didn't worry, and arranged for him to meet with other people.
This degree was just right. He told Lin Yujiao that Zhou Chenxi had not yet agreed to his pursuit, giving Lin Yujiao hope, and that he would not like others anymore, so that Lin Yujiao had psychological preparation.
Lin Yujiao took Lu Ji's lifelong events very seriously, but didn't make too many opinions on other matters. When Lu Ji said that, she would definitely be nervous, afraid that she would say something wrong in front of Zhou Chenxi.
This is enough.
Lu Ji said, "Mom, let's take a few guests out first. Uncle Jiang has been waiting there for a long time."
"Okay," Lin Yujiao stood up, adjusted her clothes, and said, "What should I say when I see him?"
"Normal communication is good, Uncle Jiang just came to see you, don't brush his kindness."
The three of them were about to walk out of the side hall, and suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Why can't we go in? Isn't it Lin Yujiao's birthday today? What's wrong with my younger brother and sister giving her a birthday? Your boss and family are really growing. It’s getting better, now that Lu Ji is in charge of the Lu Family, but our elders are not dead yet! What's the matter, Lin Yujiao doesn't intend to put us in his eyes?"
Lin Yujiao heard it, looked at Lu Ji, and walked out.
Lin Yujiao is not good at dealing with such occasions, and Lu Ji walked over and said, "Go back and ask what your Mingshen has done. It's not too late to say this."
"Lu Ji?" The woman smiled when she saw Lu Ji. "Speaking is really becoming more and more flexible. Why, are you planning to keep your uncles and aunts out?"
"Lu Mingshen tampered with Lu's commercial secret documents without authorization, bluffed and deceived Lu's name, and the direct loss to Lu was conservatively estimated to be 30 million. The lawyer is collecting evidence, don't worry, auntie," Lu Ji said. Sleeve said, "The lawyer's letter is on the way. You don't need to remind you at that time. I will definitely invite you to sit in my office."
"You..." The woman was very angry.
She was followed by a few people, decently dressed, but with a rogue expression. It seemed that they wanted to help the woman. The security guards from Luzhai arrived in time and drove them out: "Go away, or we will call the police!"
Several people were blocked by tall security guards, and when they saw that someone was planning to call the police, they left one after another.
Most of the guests were surprised. After the group left, they chatted with each other or greeted Lin Yujiao to comfort her indirectly.
Lu Ji accompanied Lin Yujiao to talk to a guest, and Zhi Qi came over.
"We haven't been invited by the Lu family before," Zhi Qi said softly, "The first time I saw this kind of thing, people are very calm. I have heard about the Lu family a little bit. Mr. Lu came all the way...well... It's not easy. His father is the son of Lu's family. He was lost once when he was young, and he was found back when he was an adult."
"Mr. Lu loves this eldest son who has been lost. After all, he is his own flesh and blood, and he lost it again. There is a kind of compensation. The other brothers and sisters of the Lu family don't think so. I heard that Mr. Lu's father talked to him. Those brothers and sisters don’t look alike at all..." Zhi Qi lowered his voice, "Of course it is also a rumor. We have never seen it. These brothers are not reconciled. They have to do a paternity test and come up with evidence. Mr. Lu was forced several times and went to the hospital for two paternity tests, each time he was identified as his own person, but he just couldn't stop the guys."
"Later, Mr. Lu didn't make any mistakes, and he planned to rewrite his will and even out the shares that he had reserved for Mr. Lu's father-just that he didn't plan to let him take power in the Lu family. By then, whoever has the power will have the final say. The rest of the Lu family hold together. , President Lu’s father would definitely not do it. In case old President Lu died, he wouldn’t know when he was eaten by them. He decisively broke up with the girlfriend he was talking about and married President Lu’s current mother."
"Later you learned that the business that the Lin family did at that time happened to be complementary to that of the Lu family. Without the help of the Lin family, the Lu family could not have grown to where they are now. Although the Lin family is now in decline, the Lu family has nothing to do with other people today. It’s Mr. Lu’s own ability, but there are always those people who are still dreaming, thinking that Mr. Lu and his son have robbed them."
Zhou Chenxi has seen these in the book, and I have seen it with my own eyes, and the feeling is still very different.
Zhi Qi said: "This group of people always come to make trouble, probably because Mr. Lu can't do anything about them. It can't be anything. After all, there is a family relationship, and it is the Lu family who is too ugly to make trouble, so everyone is surprised. It’s no wonder. It’s agreed to leave the house and forget about it. After all, no one who can come here wants to offend the Lu family?"
This was told by Xie Xueyu's agent to Zhi Qi. It's not uncommon for a wealthy family to have a mess. After all, not everyone is as harmonious as Zhou Chenxi's family.
I heard that there was an old rich man who was in his seventies and found a young mistress. The mistress did not know where to get a child. It must be the old rich man. The old rich man was fascinated and recognized the child. , Let your original partner get along with the small three in harmony.
The Qing Dynasty was all dead, and the man half of his body fell into the loess soil, so he still had three wives and four concubines.
The original partner in her fifties is considered an "old husband and young wife" compared to the old rich man. She can also bear it. After consulting with a lawyer, she calculated that the old rich man is within a few days of his death. Anyway, a junior is not qualified to fight with her original partner. In order to prevent the rich man from divorcing her, he was stunned to match the young girl sister. The old rich man and the rich man came out to entertain guests as hostesses every year.
This kind of thing is not seen by outsiders, it is the secret of the rich, and the real interests are somewhat related to see it, but it has nothing to do with oneself, at most it is a gossip.
Only Zhou Chenxi really feels distressed for Lu Ji.
The guests left, Madam Lu and Lu Ji sent them out. Zhi Qi was about to drive Zhou Chenxi back, but Lu Ji stopped.
"Chenxi," Lu Ji said, "wait and leave, I'll see you off later."
Zhou Chenxi asked Zhi Qi to return first, and Zhi Qi worriedly instructed Zhou Chenxi: "Go home early, and text me when you get home."
He looked like he was afraid that Lu Ji would eat him.
"I know!" Zhou Chenxi said, "You can go if it's okay."
Zhi Qi then left uneasy.
When the people left, Lu Ji said to him: "Sorry, did you scare you today?"
Zhou Chenxi looked around. Lin Yujiao had already gone upstairs to rest. The security guards were busy seeing off the guests. No one noticed it. Zhou Chenxi went up and grabbed Lu Ji's hand.
Lu Ji was taken aback for a while, but finally couldn't bear to get his hands out.
"Give you strength," Zhou Chenxi said, holding his hand, "I will stand with you no matter what."
Lu Ji looked down.
Zhou Chenxi held him for five minutes, until someone came, then slowly let go: "Is it better?"
"Much better." Lu Ji said.
He forgot everything at this moment, only one thought.
I want to kiss the person in front of me, very, very much.
The author has something to say: don't think, do it.
