This is not the first time for most of the people present to attend Huo Sili's birthday dinner.
Whether as a partner of Huo or a well-known dignitary in the circle, Huo Family invited them out of courtesy, and they responded out of courtesy.
In previous years, President Huo's birthday party was purely a well-arranged commercial performance.
Invitations are passports for interest exchanges, and the champagne tower reflects the undercurrent of capital flow.
And Huo Sili will calmly deal with guests, discuss interest rate trends with bankers, and discuss industry trends with upstarts in technology.
In this occasion where he was the protagonist, he always maintained just the right amount of propriety, making people impeccable and unable to get too close.
For him and everyone present, the birthday dinner is just another business node to maintain connections and consolidate cooperation.
But it's not so pure today.
In their impression, President Huo, who could hold even a few meetings without showing any signs of fatigue, would go to her boyfriend to hold hands and recharge his batteries from time to time at his birthday party.
Either they are being fed by their little boyfriend, or the two of them are chewing their ears, with such a greasy look that it makes one's teeth sore.
This is completely different from what they imagined!
President Huo Aren't you a cold and domineering president!?
God Qu Aren't you the cold-faced little heavenly master!?
Why do the two of you exude such a strong sour smell of love when you are together!!?
Oh yes, there is also this cold-faced little heavenly master.
Many people who came to the Huo Family to attend this birthday dinner had the idea of getting a glimpse of Qu Nanzhu's style.
In their imagination, Qu Nanzhu will accompany Huo Sili, holding President Huo's hand and chatting happily with them.
They have even thought about how to tactfully ask Qu Nanzhu to help them calculate fortune, family, and career, as long as he is willing to speak.
But why was Master arranged to eat and drink at the children's table?
No, has anyone respected their feelings?
Obviously not, because they were already chatting.
Probably out of consideration for the occasion, several people were lying on the table laughing so hard that their whole bodies were shaking.
The other peers present couldn't help but cast their eyes over.
"Are those people friends of President Huo?"
"I don't know, I didn't see it last year..."
"That is F City Shang Family's daughter. How could she come so far to celebrate President Huo's birthday?"
"I only know that man, Cheng Family, and he did cooperate with the Huo Family, but..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone knew it.
Who is Huo Sili? They think about the existence of high-achieving people but dare not, but those people openly walked into the circle of Huo Sili.
If you say you are not jealous, that would be a lie. When Huo Sili made public his relationship with Qu Nanzhu, many wealthy ladies were so jealous that they broke a lot of things.
That was Huo Sili. They had tried so hard to meet someone, so how could they let someone else get there first?
Even if that person is Qu Nanzhu.
Moreover, Huo Sili is completely different from the rumors. Everything about being difficult to get along with and being unkind is all fake!
He is clearly patient and tolerant towards those people! Especially towards his lovers, his eyes are full of preference, indulgence and dependence.
Jealousy almost ignited the hearts of those boys and girls.
Shang Ni'en picked out the snacks on the plate, raised his eyes to look at Qu Nanzhu, and asked him, "Bao, can't you feel it?"
Qu Nanzhu:"What?"
Shang Ni'en raised his chin in the direction behind him. "Those behind you, their gazes are almost going to pierce you."
After she finished speaking, several people at the table looked back. Seven or eight eyes were focused on her in an instant, and the girls immediately became flustered.
How can anyone watch the fun so directly? Don't they know any rules?!
Qin Siyi sneered twice and said, pointing in another direction with his fork. "Do you think it's just those few? Look at the few men over there."
A few people looked over again, and those people immediately turned around and pretended that nothing happened.
Qu Nanzhu is indeed not so sensitive in this regard. He said, "They all seem to be looking at me. Are they my fans?"
Xue Yu coughed violently after listening to it.
Cheng Xuanyu:"?"No, even he saw it!
Lin Suwan and Fang Pingyue blurted out directly. "6."
Qin Siyi put down his fork and waved his hands. "I have no more moves. I have no more moves."
At this time Huo Sili came over. He pinched Qu Nanzhu's earlobe from behind. When Qu Nanzhu looked up at him, he said, "It's time to cut the cake, let's go."
Qu Nanzhu:"Should I go too?"
Huo Sili said softly, "You made the cake yourself, of course you need to be present."
Chen Xun and Uncle Si were already pushing two cakes over there. Qu Nanzhu took a quick look and held a seaweed and pork floss clam in his hand. "What should I do? I haven't finished eating yet."
Huo Sili bent down. "One bite for each person."
"Okay, you eat more." Qu Nanzhu said, and fed the flossy scallops with his hand into Huo Sili's mouth, and each of them ate them one by one.
There were so many people watching them biting their ears for a while, and then they walked onto the stage pretending to be nonchalant.
The protagonists were in place, and the host began to deliver a speech, congratulating Mr. Huo on his 24th birthday. After warm applause, it was time for Huo Sili to cut the cake.
Under the spotlight, two cakes stand side by side.
Huo Sili picked up the cutting knife, passed over the gorgeous three-layer cake, and fell straight to the small one next to it.
The first portion was naturally given to the elder Ji Fangyi. Ji Fangyi took it with a smile and said in a kind voice, "Grandma is here to wish Sili a happy birthday, a safe and smooth new year, and everything goes well. I also hope that you and Nanzhu will be of the same mind and be happy every year."
They both said at the same time, "Thank you, grandma."
Then it's time to share the cake with others. Huo Sili only needs to share the cake with a few important people, and Uncle Si and Chen Xun will be responsible for the rest.
Huo Sili finally had time to sit down and eat, drink and chat with everyone.
"God Qu makes things, even if they are shit, I still have to taste them salty!"
"Cheng Xuanyu If you are so disgusting, get away."
"Shang Ni'en I found that you are really not big or small."
"Okay, okay, stop it, my sister-in-law is very good at her craftsmanship, please try it quickly."
"The craftsmanship is great, why don't you eat it?"
"I'm tired of it... it's a rare opportunity. Everyone here is older than me, and I respect my elders."
"Sister Yueyue, have you forgotten me and Xue Yu?"
"Actually, I still love children."
"..."
After the dinner was over, Huo Sili and Qu Nanzhu returned to the room.
As soon as the door closed, Huo Sili lowered his head and leaned on Qu Nanzhu's shoulder, then rubbed against his neck.
"I'm so tired. There are so many people around me talking about this and that."
He is the protagonist tonight, so he naturally has to fulfill his duties as a landlord.
Qu Nanzhu was not ambiguous at all and said directly, "Then I'll kiss you."
But Huo Sili refused. He pressed against the lips that were about to come together and said under Qu Nanzhu's doubtful eyes, "I just drank wine, wait for me to rinse my mouth first."
Qu Nanzhu:"?"
Is this also a defense?
