Qiqi was stared at by Sheng Yunxia. She thought about his question for a few seconds and finally said, "It's okay, I happen to be bored too."
When Huo Shaoting heard her words, he said without further words: "Well, let's go."
So under Sheng Yunxia's push, Qiqi originally followed Sheng Yunxia, but eventually she followed Huo Shaoting.
Sheng Yunxia was quite satisfied with everything just now, so she was in a good mood and continued playing mahjong with a few ladies.
Qiqi could only follow Huo Shaoting into another box to eat.
Most of the men were talking about things outside. After Qiqi followed Huo Shaoting and sat down in a seat, Huo Shaoting glanced at her.
The lights in the wing were dim, and the person was illuminated in a warm yellow color.
He whispered: "If you don't want to eat, or if you need anything, you can tell me."
Qiqi sat there politely: "Okay."
As soon as Huo Shaoting finished speaking those few words, what Qiqi didn't expect was that four or five women in kimonos suddenly came in from outside the door. They sat directly next to the few people Huo Shaoting had just accompanied and cried sweetly. .
Qiqi thought it was just an ordinary meal, but was dumbfounded when she saw this scene.
Huo Shaoting was calm about this scene. He was obviously used to it. He just glanced at her with his peripheral vision and said, "If you can't drink tea, I'll ask the staff here to give you pure water."
Qiqi could only nod and say: "Okay, okay."
Her hands were a little nervous because there was a woman in kimono standing next to Huo Shaoting, but because Qiqi was sitting next to Huo Shaoting, the woman didn't know what to do.
Huo Shaoting looked at the woman and said, "No need, go down."
The woman looked exactly like a Japanese woman and said softly in Japanese: "Hi."
This was the first time Qiqi had seen such a venue. She thought it was just an entertainment place for drinking tea and chatting, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
Huo Shaoting didn't explain anything. He said to several business people: "Thank you for helping me solve the previous matter. I will be the host today. You are welcome."
Huo Shaoting was calm and decent in such a romantic place, and the word romantic seemed not to be attached to him.
Those people in the business field were a little wary because Mrs. Huo was there, so they just laughed a few times: "We are not as good as Mr. Huo, but we still have to have a good meal today."
Huo Shaoting chuckled and said, "Well, of course I have to entertain Mr. Sheng and Mr. Yu, so everyone doesn't have to worry about anything today, just eat and have fun."
There are only a few things that men like. They glanced at the people next to Huo Shaoting again, and saw that the other party did not show any discomfort. Then they each held the Japanese woman in kimono next to them, let go and drank. Play along.
Qiqi watched the women holding wine glasses and feeding the men's mouths with sweet smiles. She just wanted to close her eyes.
She is not suitable for such an environment at all. She, a college student who has not yet gone out into society, has never seen such a scene.
Huo Shaoting turned a blind eye to her reaction and just drank tea from the teacup on the table.
After the meal, Huo Shaoting was chatting with the men he served at the table. He laughed from time to time, made a few jokes from time to time, or talked about business matters in a relaxed tone. .
It was Qiqi who had never seen him look like this.
A bit joking, a bit drunk, a bit indifferent, he controlled the whole audience with ease.
Qiqi felt that he was strange, but she thought in her heart, how could he not be such a person? Such a person and such an environment fit his identity very well.
This is what a man's dinner party looks like, but Qiqi is still too young and it's just her first time seeing her.
If she were a sister, she would be open-minded and even laugh with Huo Shaoting for a few words.
After the meal, Huo Shaoting was extremely indifferent to her. He drank some wine and leaned back on the chair, already a little drunk, while the faces of the men at the table became more and more ugly after three rounds of drinking. , starting from drinking the wine in the woman’s hand, to kissing the woman in her arms.
Huo Shaoting was accustomed to holding a goblet in his hand. He looked at the scene on the table with his eyes between sober and confused.
One of the men said: "A few of us will help you win the piece of land that Mr. Huo is interested in. No matter how difficult it is for those tough households, we will solve the problem beautifully for you."
During this time, Huo Shaoting had planted a piece of land in a coastal city, and planned to open it up as a port and wharf so that the Huo family could get involved in transportation and trade. However, the families there had lived for generations, and the place was remote, so it was feudal, and the love Burials have resulted in the ancestral graves of many residents’ families being placed there, making it troublesome to deal with.
So Huo Shaoting naturally found a few people who knew the area to solve the matter. Naturally, these people were also local business owners.
It's a local snake.
Regarding their words, Huo Shaoting said with a low smile: "Okay, if it can be solved beautifully, of course I hope it can be solved beautifully, at least without any disputes, so I hope you can help me a lot."
Those people picked up their wine glasses and immediately came to toast Huo Shaoting with compliments.
Huo Shaoting was quite generous. He picked up his wine glass and greeted them back. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Those people were about to toast Qiqi again. Just as Qiqi was about to hold the wine glass on the table, Huo Shaoting smiled at them: "I'm pregnant, so I can't drink."
Those few people looked understanding for a moment and clinked glasses with Huo Shaoting instead.
Huo Shaoting held a goblet and sat under the light. After clinking glasses with the other party, he drank with a smile.
Qiqi sat quietly aside, not eating anything at all, just counting the time in her heart.
After Huo Shaoting took a sip of the wine in the glass, he looked at Qiqi again. Seeing that she hadn't touched anything, he asked, "Don't you want some?"
Qiqi wanted to go back, but she was afraid that if she went back early, she would offend Sheng Yunxia, so she thought for a while and said, "I'm not very hungry."
Huo Shaoting said: "Eat as much as you like."
His tone was cold, not particularly enthusiastic, just like a casual comment.
Qiqi still didn't touch the food on the table.
Huo Shaoting saw that she still didn't intend to touch it, so he didn't force her. However, he still asked the staff to add a few dishes. Those dishes were suitable for pregnant women and were also what Qiqi loved to eat.
Qiqi was afraid of wasting it. After the dish was served, she thought about it and picked up her chopsticks to eat some. However, she only ate some and put it on the chopsticks.
The meal lasted until eight o'clock in the evening.
Huo Shaoting and the others were going to play night ball. At the dinner table, he asked her, "If you are tired, you can go back first."
Qiqi thought about it and said, "You're not tired, Brother Shao Ting."
She had to follow him to complete the evening schedule. Sheng Yunxia was in a bad mood during this period, and she didn't dare to mess with her at all.
