Ye Fan didn't want to go to the meeting, but Wang Qingwu insisted again and again. He could only tell Tang Fenghua a few words before driving to the meeting place.
The celebration place tonight was at a low-end club called Tang Palace. When Ye Fan followed the waiter into the booked banquet hall, he found that he had arrived a little early.
There were only a dozen people present at the scene.
But his eyes quickly lit up, and Ye Fan saw Tang Qiqi.
Tang Qiqi was wearing a long skirt, flipping through a magazine, and sitting quietly and elegantly in the corner.
With a calm smile and just the right lighting, Tang Qiqi at this moment gave people the feeling of being as beautiful as jade.
Ye Fan was slightly in a trance.
"Kiki!"
He quickly reacted, raised a smile and walked over: "Why are you here?"
"Brother-in-law!"
When she heard Mark calling her, Tang Qiqi raised her head subconsciously, and then waved with great joy: "Why are you here?"
"I was invited to celebrate,"
Ye Fan smiled, and then changed the topic: "What about you?"
He has a relationship with Wang Qingwu, so it's normal to come here to celebrate, but Tang Clan Liquor Industry has been banned by Wang Qingwu, and it's a bit strange that Tang Qiqi still appears here.
"Something happened at Tangmen Liquor Industry. I know a senior executive of this company."
Tang Qiqi did not hide it from Ye Fan: "I want to ask him for help and beg for mercy, and let Third Aunt and Seventh Aunt go."
"Are you going to settle this matter?"
Ye Fan frowned slightly: "Don't you always stay out of the Tang Sect's affairs? Why are you so active in helping this time?"
"Tangmen Liquor Industry is involved in a human life lawsuit. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble."
"Although you are not an A-list actress now, you are quite famous. It will be very troublesome to get involved in these things."
"Besides, Tang Ruoxue's processing power is ten times better than yours."
Suddenly he had an idea: "Did Lin Qiuling force you to intervene?"
Tang Qiqi lowered her head slightly: "The third aunt and the seventh aunt are relatives after all. I will do my best if I can."
"Sure enough, Lin Qiuling is causing trouble."
Ye Fan asked the waiter for a glass of juice: "Don't worry about this, just let Tang Ruoxue handle it."
"Brother-in-law, I still want to give it a try."
Tang Qiqi said hesitantly:
"My mother said that like my eldest sister, I can only ask for things but not give back. This time I want to do something to silence her."
In her heart, she resisted getting involved in the Tang Sect, otherwise she would directly join Tiantang Company after graduation, but Lin Qiuling put pressure on her desperately, so she could only find connections to help smooth things over.
"What happened this time is not as simple as you think."
Ye Fan shook his head gently: "You are too young."
He knew in his heart that Lin Qiuling never thought that Tang Qiqi could solve the problem. The reason why he pressured her to get involved was to slowly break through Tang Qiqi's psychological defense.
As long as Tang Qiqi intervenes this time, Lin Qiuling can ask her to help again in the future, and eventually force her to join the Tang Sect to help Tang Ruoxue.
"boom--"
Before Tang Qiqi could respond, the door to the banquet hall was violently pushed open.
A dozen well-dressed men and women walked in.
Walking in front were a tall young man and an aloof woman.
The former wears suits and leather shoes, while the latter wears jewelry.
Tang Qiqi hurriedly whispered to Ye Fan: "The person I'm looking for is here, Lu Benxi, the manager of the marketing department of Qingwu Group."
"The woman next to her is Gao Ziyue, the manager of the R&D department of Qingwu Group and the first pharmacist."
She exhaled a long breath:
"Manager Lu is an executive of Qingwu Company, a member of the Longdu Lu family, and a director of the Longdu Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If he comes to help, he should be able to settle the matter."
The tall young man glanced around, then looked at Tang Qiqi with bright eyes.
"Sister Qiqi, are you here?"
He waved to Gao Ziyue and others to sit down at the big table, and walked directly to Tang Qiqi and Ye Fan.
Tang Qiqi smiled awkwardly, then stood up and said hello: "Hello, Manager Lu."
Ye Fan also stood up out of courtesy.
"I asked you to come out for a meal or a drink before, but you always said you weren't free. Why are you so free tonight?"
"Isn't it bad to deceive Brother Xi and hurt my feelings like this?"
Manager Lu didn't even look at Mark, he just smiled at Tang Qiqi in a sinister way, and then sat down next to Tang Qiqi.
Tang Qiqi instinctively moved a little closer, as if she didn't want to get too close to Lu Benxi.
"Manager Lu is joking. I really didn't lie to you. I was really busy with things before."
Tang Qiqi explained: "If my words were inappropriate at that time, please forgive me, Manager Lu."
"I forgive you...of course I forgive you."
Manager Lu spoke with a dead smile, showing his teeth that were yellowed from excessive smoking, and then subconsciously touched Tang Qiqi's thigh.
"Hello, Manager Lu."
Ye Fan quickly grabbed his hand and shook it: "Nice to meet you."
"Who the hell are you?"
After being held by Mark, Manager Lu's expression changed and he threw away Mark's hand in disgust.
Tang Qiqi hurriedly introduced: "Manager Lu, this is a friend of mine. His name is Ye Fan. He admires you as much as I do..."
"friend?"
Lu Benxi looked at Ye Fan with contempt: "What kind of friend?"
Ye Fan frowned slightly, wanting to say that your friends are none of your business, but he held it back when he thought of Tang Qiqi.
"A good friend."
Tang Qiqi squeezed out a sentence: "His name is Ye Fan, and he is also from Zhonghai."
"Zhonghai? It's a place for the nouveau riche. The place is not that good, and the people are not that good either."
Hearing that Ye Fan was from Zhonghai, Manager Lu's eyes became even more disdainful:
"Qiqi, the style should be higher, and the friends you interact with should also be of a higher standard."
"Do you know why you haven't been popular?"
"The reason is that you always hang out with dogs and cats."
"If you had spent more time hanging out with celebrities in the industry, or socializing with successful people like me, you would have become an A-list actress by now."
"Come on, come with me, I'll introduce you to some friends, and have a few drinks by the way."
While talking, he hugged Tang Qiqi's waist.
Tang Qiqi shrank in embarrassment.
"Qiqi, what do you mean?"
Lu Benxi's eyes were dissatisfied: "Are you pretending to be noble?"
"It's not noble..."
Tang Qiqi waved her hands repeatedly: "Manager Lu, I came here today to see you for something important..."
"You know you have something to ask of me, but you still act so unworldly?"
Lu Benxi interrupted Tang Qiqi without politeness:
"You are not allowed to touch this, and you are not allowed to touch that, as if I would eat you."
"Okay, let's get acquainted and give you one last chance."
"This is the key card for room 808 of the Hilton Hotel. You go to the room and wait for me. I will go back later to discuss the script with you."
"If you are satisfied with the discussion, you can talk about anything. If you continue to be coy, you won't have to say anything tonight."
Then, he stared at Mark and said impatiently:
"You have nothing to do here. Go back to where you came from."
Ye Fan didn't talk nonsense and slapped him in the face.
"Snapped--"
There was a crisp sound, and Lu Benxi screamed and fell out...
