Fu Shaoting remained silent, and silence became the only echo in the office.
After a while, he coughed slightly and said, "Let's wait until we can't hide it anymore."
Lin Dong's expression was a bit complicated. He stopped worrying about this issue and got down to business: "I have prepared an eight-million-dollar landscape painting for the Gu family dinner tonight. Can you take a look at it?"
Fu Shaoting nodded slightly: "Well, let the stylist come over in advance to deliver the clothes."
"Okay." Lin Dong responded.
Fu Shaoting thought of something else: "By the way, Qiao Man and I don't have time to pick up Chenchen in the afternoon. You send someone to take him home."
"Yes." Lin Dong nodded, then turned and left.
A day flies by.
When Qiao Man got off work, she saw a flamboyant red sports car parked on the side of the road when she left the company.
Gu Yao saw her figure and immediately waved to her: "Manbao, come quickly."
Qiao Man unconsciously smiled and got into the car.
"How long have you been waiting?"
"I've only been here for five minutes. Let's do some styling first, and then go directly to the banquet hall." Fang Ru started the sports car with a bright smile on her lips.
Qiao Man nodded: "Okay."
At this moment, Fang Ru also walked out of the company and saw Qiao Man getting into the red sports car with a beautiful woman beside him.
She was inexplicably disappointed, why wasn't he a man?
If it was a man, she could be sure that Qiao Man might have hooked up with a rich man.
Fang Ru was just about to go to the station to take the bus when she suddenly thought of the valuable sports car, indicating that the woman driving the car must not be underestimated.
Could it be that this woman was the one who threatened her before?
Fang Ru rolled her eyes. When she saw the sports car driving away, an idea suddenly came to her mind. She immediately stopped a taxi and followed it secretly.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the dress shop we had booked for a long time.
"Manman, I have arranged for someone to prepare several sets of dresses for you before. You can try them on later and choose one to wear." Fang Ru held her arm affectionately and walked into the low-key and luxurious haute couture store in front of her. .
Qiao Man readily agreed.
Fang Ru, who had come with her, got out of the taxi and hid behind a car opposite the haute couture store, trying to get a clear look at Qiao Man and the woman through the thick floor-to-ceiling windows.
She kept thinking and determined that she had never seen such a person next to Qiao Man before. At first glance, she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.
Fang Ru was really curious about Gu Yao's identity, and even more curious about why Qiao Man would be friends with such a person.
At this time, Qiao Man in the store had changed into no less than five dresses, and finally settled on a light blue fishtail skirt, which made her look bright and elegant.
Gu Yao wore a fiery red dress, with a red rose blooming on her collarbone, and her flaming red lips were particularly eye-catching.
Seeing Qiao Man sitting on the chair, taking care of her style, her eyes shone brightly, and she praised: "Man Bao, you are so suitable for this dress. If you go to my banquet tonight, you will definitely make a splash and attract people. Lots of looks.”
Qiao Man glanced at her helplessly: "This is your banquet, what do I want from other people's eyes?"
"You are my best friend, and I am happy for you if others like you." Gu Yao said confidently.
At this moment, Gu Yao's cell phone rang.
She let the stylist do her hair, then answered the phone and her voice became sweet: "Dad."
"Yao Yao, the banquet is about to start. When will you arrive?" Gu's father's gentle voice came from the other end.
"Man Bao and I are doing some styling. We can be there in half an hour at most." Gu Yao said with a smile.
"Okay, do you need me to send someone to pick you up?" Father Gu asked with a doting tone.
Gu Yao refused: "No, I'll drive there directly later."
"OK."
Father Gu gave her a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Twenty minutes later, the two finished styling and left the haute couture store.
When Fang Ru saw Qiao Man coming out, her eyes widened in shock, and she almost didn't dare to recognize it was her.
Although she had long known that Qiao Man was beautiful, she had never taken it seriously. She didn't expect that she would look so good after changing her dress and styling it...
At this moment, Fang Ru was deeply jealous.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, she hurriedly followed them.
Soon, the red sports car stopped at the entrance of the Rongguang Hotel where the banquet was held.
Gu Yao held Qiao Man's arm, and the two of them chatted and laughed and took the elevator to the banquet hall on the top floor.
Fang Ru also followed secretly.
The two arrived at the banquet hall. As soon as the door opened, everyone's eyes fell on the two.
When Father Gu saw Gu Yao's figure, a smile appeared on his lips and he walked towards the two of them.
One of the two has the temperament of a thorny rose, and the other is as gentle as water, like a tranquil sea surface, which is particularly eye-catching and stunning.
Being watched by so many people, a trace of discomfort flashed across Qiao Man's face.
Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze, and subconsciously turned her head to look over, only to see a figure that looked like Fu Shaoting, which made her dazed for a moment.
This was the first time Fu Shaoting saw Qiao Man dressed in gorgeous clothes. She was so eye-catching and dazzling that he couldn't help but froze and looked at her intently.
Just when Qiao Man turned to look over, Fu Shaoting woke up suddenly in fright, and turned around in a slight panic, not letting her see his face.
"Who is the woman next to Miss Gu? She is really good-looking."
"She seems to be a good friend of Miss Gu. Could it be that she is also a lady from some aristocratic family?"
"Standing with Miss Gu, I haven't had any glory taken away from me."
The guests whispered quietly and talked about Qiao Man's identity.
"Yao Yao, Man Man, you are here." Father Gu came to the two of them with a smile and looked at them.
"Hello, uncle." Qiao Man greeted politely.
In the past, Gu Yao always took her to visit the Gu family, and she had known the Gu family for a long time.
"Okay, okay, Manman is getting more and more graceful. You can have whatever you want at today's banquet." Father Gu responded with a smile.
Gu Yao chuckled, glanced around, and asked strangely: "Where is my mother?"
"Your mother is in the lounge. When she comes down later, you can take Manman for a walk first, and then she will give a speech on stage." Father Gu is very busy tonight.
"Know it."
Gu Yao responded and took Qiao Man's arm to the quiet rest area.
At this moment, Fang Ru also secretly took the elevator and walked towards the door of the banquet hall.
She was wearing professional attire, and she didn't look like she was attending a banquet. She was stopped by the bodyguard when she walked to the door.
"Miss, please show me the invitation letter."
Fang Ru was stunned. She didn't have any invitation letter.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "My friend has just entered, and the invitation is on her body. Can you let me in?"
The bodyguard had an expressionless face and said conscientiously: "You can ask your friend to come out to pick you up. You can't go in without an invitation."
