Chapter 161: Chapter 154: The Dancing Veil by the Huangpu River Chapter 161: Chapter 154: The Dancing Veil by the Huangpu River J Hotel, 120F, Heavenly Brocade.
The nightlife of the magic city was flashy and extravagant, sitting beside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the highest restaurant, one could have a panoramic view of the city skyline.
At the long table for ten people, exquisite cutlery was set up, and in front of everyone, there was also a nu for tonight.
“Ladies and gentlen, thank you for your effort in coming here,” Li Bo was the first to raise his glass, the swirling red wine clinging to the glass, “To our friendship, to our cooperation, cheers!”
The rest of the group responded in kind.
It seed that everyone was quite satisfied with the welco ceremony from the afternoon.
“President Li, you’ve picked quite a romantic spot,” Wen Shulin said with a smile.
Li Bo couldn’t help but feel pleased with himself, “Look, even Chairman Wen is comnding !
That ans my organization of this event was a big success, right?”
Chen Jin: “Eh, you know exactly what pleases him, how could Chairman Wen not be happy?”
The group burst into hearty laughter, the atmosphere growing even warr.
“After we finish eating, we’ll go experience the local customs and traditions.
I’ve already reserved the private rooms.”
Li Bo shared the plans for the remainder of the evening, “Tonight we’ll drink freely, and let tomorrow morning’s roaring F1 engines wake us up!”
Chen Cheng had been quiet, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling that all of this was too dreamlike.
He didn’t have this feeling while in Beijing, but being in the financial center of the magic city, and at such a height, he couldn’t help but feel contemplative.
“Hey, Mr.
Chen doesn’t seem too excited tonight!” Zhou Xiansheng saw Chen Cheng’s furrowed brows and teased, “Do you think the dishes here can’t compare with Wanbao Hall?”
“Lao Zhou, what are you talking about, nowhere else has food as delicious as Wanbao Hall!” Wang Xinan chid in.
Chen Jin observed Chen Cheng, eventually his gaze landing on the brand new Daytona on his wrist, “I think Mr.
Chen has changed to a new watch, and you all pretend not to see it, right?”
Chen Cheng just shook his head, smiling.
“Yo, Lao Chen didn’t bring it up, I really hadn’t noticed!” Li Bo’s eyes lit up, “That must be a small fortune, no?”
“Eh~ How much money it is, that’s nothing for Mr.
Chen, right?
The most important thing is, this watch really suits Mr.
Chen’s temperant!”
Wen Shulin couldn’t help but reveal a hint of unnoticed pride in her eyes after hearing everyone’s praise.
“Mr.
Chen, do you have sothing on your mind?” Wen Shulin turned to ask Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng looked at the woman in front of him, “No, I probably just didn’t rest well.”
“Lao Li, now that I have to say sothing about it.
What’s all this about a welco ceremony as soon as we arrive!
Look, you’ve exhausted our Mr.
Chen!”
Li Bo laughed and waved his hands, “That’s my oversight, my oversight!
It was just to relieve everyone’s fatigue.”
Wen Shulin tried to discern Chen Cheng’s intentions from his glance.
Half a second later, she said, “President Li, I won’t be participating in the activities later.”
“Don’t be like that, everything was arranged!”
Wen Shulin declined with a smile, “CGG has been contacting over here, I need to go take a look.
They’ve also prepared a banquet tonight, and I thought I couldn’t just take care of them without taking care of us.”
As the conversation progressed to this point, Li Bo couldn’t insist on her staying, “Chairman Wen, you’ve given face, and I will definitely take care of you.
Let’s et at the racetrack tomorrow.”
Wen Shulin raised her glass to thank him, “Thank you, President Li.”
“No need to thank .”
The group ate and drank rrily, and before they knew it, the banquet was drawing to a close.
Everyone was satiated, with a hint of drunkenness and satisfaction on their faces.
Chen Cheng stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the bustling night scene outside, his mind full of thoughts.
Li Bo ca over, patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder, and said, “Mr.
Chen, don’t overthink, just relax tonight.”
Chen Cheng nodded, “Yeah, I know.”
Afterward, the group split up as planned, with so following Li Bo to experience the local culture, and Wen Shulin leaving to handle her affairs.
However, before leaving, she sent a ssage to Chen Cheng: Tell your location.
Chen Cheng went with Li Bo and the others to the Bund Wanhui.
As one of the magic city’s top business KTVs, it had three floors and 41 private rooms.
The decor was lavish and similar to that of Jin Baogen’s Baige Hui, very business-oriented.
But the expense for the perforrs was much higher, starting at 3500 yuan.
There was no question about their appearance or figure, but the most important thing was the service attitude; as soon as you walked through the door, you would feel right at ho.
Li Bo ordered 5 sets of famous brands, and so beers.
The lights flashed, and the music was thunderous.
The singing coach by Chen Cheng’s side was very professional, peeling sunflower seeds one by one so that they could be simply popped into the mouth, saving the trouble of peeling them.
Yet Chen Cheng’s mind was sowhere else, the image of Wen Shulin as she left kept reappearing in his mind.
Ti ticked away, and the night grew deeper.
While the others were imrsed in the joy, Chen Cheng excused himself to go to the bathroom and sneakily left the private room, stepping out alone.
He sent his location to Wen Shulin and stood on the streets of the magic city, waiting.
Neon lights flickered, traffic bustling.
About fifteen minutes later, Wen Shulin appeared in front of him by taxi.
“Get in,” Wen Shulin called from the back seat, smiling.
Finally, a look of relief appeared on Chen Cheng’s face, and he shook his head, “Get out.”
“We’re not going ho?” Wen Shulin, puzzled, paid the taxi fare and got out.
Chen Cheng took her hand, “Did you wait long?”
“Not really, I thought you were going to play till 12 before ssaging !”
“In there, all I could think about was you.”
Wen Shulin’s lips curled upwards, “Flattering words.”
Hand in hand, the two walked towards the Bund.
The night breeze was gentle, bringing with it a hint of coolness.
“You seem to really have sothing on your mind?” Wen Shulin also felt that the man beside her was sowhat off.
