Chapter 234: The Banquet Begins
After returning ho and having lunch, Su Lin took Xia Shiyu to the Four Seasons Hotel. In the car, Xia Shiyu, wearing a light yellow knee-length dress, seed a bit uncomfortable.
She was not tall and rather slender, which made her look even more delicate in the dress. Her small face was tight with tension, and Su Lin could imdiately tell she was very nervous.
Su Lin joked, “Xiaoyu, you don’t usually get this nervous doing business, why be nervous about just having a al?”
“I… I… I’m just worried about talking to Uncle later; I don’t know what to say.”
“Don’t worry,” Su Lin reassured her, “My dad won’t have much ti to talk, you’ve been at the company for a few days now, have you seen him around much?”
Hearing this, Xia Shiyu felt considerably more relaxed; “You’re right, Su Lin. He must be too busy to talk to today.”
Su Lin shook his head; Xia Shiyu always got extrely nervous whenever she t Su Zhenguo.
“We’re here, let’s go up first.”
“Okay~!!”
As they got out of the car and entered, they imdiately saw Li Hongyang and Su Zhenguo talking. Su Zhenguo looked up at Su Lin and Xia Shiyu.
Xia Shiyu whispered, “Su Lin, didn’t you say Uncle would be too busy to have ti?”
Su Lin spread his hands, “I didn’t expect we would run into them just as we ca up. The banquet won’t start for a while, why don’t you go have so snacks first and co back when it starts?”
After hearing this, Xia Shiyu glanced at Su Lin and then said, “They’ve seen us already, what would it look like if I walked away now?”
“Heh… I called you early in the morning, why are you only coming now?”
Su Lin replied, “I got delayed dropping off Xiaowan and Xiaoyue at ho, so we just decided to co after eating.”
Su Zhenguo nodded and then said, “You’re the deputy general manager; don’t run off once you’re here.”
“Okay…”
Seeing this, Su Zhenguo nodded satisfactorily. He then turned to Xia Shiyu with a gentle and friendly face, “Is this Xiaoyu? How have you been feeling at the company, any issues adjusting?”
Xia Shiyu, flattered, responded, “No… there’s nothing I haven’t been able to adapt to, everyone at the company is nice, and they treat well.”
“And how about your work? Any difficulties?”
Xia Shiyu shook her head, “No, my job is quite easy, especially with Xiaowan there; it’s not tiring.”
“That’s good, that’s good,” Su Zhenguo smiled. “Su Lin is quite lazy; keep an eye on him for . Don’t always indulge him. If there are any problems, you can tell , and I’ll handle it.”
Xia Shiyu sweetly smiled, “Uncle, Su Lin treats very well.”
“That’s good.” After speaking, Su Zhenguo glared at Su Lin, “Treat her well, otherwise, I won’t let you off. You rascal!!!”
Su Lin was unconcerned by Su Zhenguo’s warning, casually saying, “You should worry more about your company, Xiaoyu is well taken care of by , she couldn’t be happier. If you don’t handle today well, don’t co to for help if soone causes you trouble later.”
Su Zhenguo scoffed, “Ask for your help? When have I ever needed your help?”
“Don’t think that just because you have so martial prowess you can navigate society, you still have a lot to learn.”
Su Lin rely smirked, paying no heed to Su Zhenguo’s words. His philosophy had always been that only absolute strength could face any challenge without fear.
“Alright, alright, I still need to check the venue one more ti, I won’t chat with you anymore, if there’s sothing, co find in the conference room.”
Su Lin nodded; he was familiar with the venue as it hosted many large business etings and banquets in Donghai. After they left, Xia Shiyu turned to Su Lin and said, “Su Lin, Uncle is really nice, why do you always have to argue with him?”
Su Lin responded speechlessly, “Xiaoyu, my dad is nice to you because you’re my girlfriend and he has always held love in high regard, believing in ‘a lifeti for two’. He thinks I owe you, so he cares about you.”
“You see how he treats ; he’s just short of pointing at my nose and scolding .”
“Heh heh, I think Uncle values you a lot; otherwise, he wouldn’t entrust such an important departnt to you.”
Su Lin wanted to say, “Silly girl, all those are assets I brought in, calling back now is just wanting to work for him.”
But he didn’t say it; knowing Xia Shiyu’s curious nature, she would keep asking, and it would never end.
“Speaking of which, this is Ziyu’s property, she didn’t even co to check it out…”
“Sister Ziyu was just…”
Su Lin covered Xia Shiyu’s mouth; “What are you saying, keep your mouth shut there are so many people here.”
Xia Shiyu stuck out her tongue, realizing she had misspoken, and sheepishly said, “Heh heh… sorry.”
“From now on, such matters should only be discussed at ho, don’t just say anything outside.”
“Mm mm, I’ll rember, Su Lin.”
Seeing this, Su Lin nodded satisfactorily. They didn’t stay long at the venue as they found it boring and soon found a room to rest for a while.
Returning to the venue, Su Lin saw that many people were already chatting inside. Most of these people were from out of town and had checked into the Four Seasons Hotel directly.
They were originally here for the banquet and had co down early in the afternoon, bored. Listening to their accents from different places, Su Lin analyzed quietly.
“Old Liu, I didn’t expect you to co too, I rember your family is in the seafood business, why are you attending the banquet?”
“Ah~! I ca to look for sales channels, you don’t know how the seafood industry has tripled this year, most seafood has dropped in price, still can’t sell, many people ca from inland this ti, just right to probe them for new sales channels. Old Li, you’re in leather, why did you co too?”
“Heh heh… I heard that this ti Su’s is really going big, planning a dust-free workshop, and want to see if there’s a chance to get antistatic wristbands, leather, etc.”
“Then you’ve got to make a big score this ti.”
“Heh, I’m just following behind the Ma family, taking sip of soup.”
“Heh heh…”
“…”
Listening to these people’s conversations, Su Lin frowned. This Yangcheng Ma family, he still rembered that arrogant Ma Junjie, who showed up with four girls, each taller than the last.
Typical internet celebrity faces, he didn’t know what kind of aesthetics this guy had, actually liking cone-shaped faces.
To know that there wasn’t even a term for internet celebrity faces in this era, perhaps that’s why he liked internet celebrity faces.
Just as he was thinking about all sorts of ssy things, Su Lin heard Xia Shiyu’s slightly surprised voice, “Su Lin, Sister Ziyu is here.”
