Facing the doubtful, puzzled or shocked looks of everyone present, Lu Mingfei froze, and the small cake in his hand suddenly lost its flavor.
In the silence, Lu Mingfei smiled and shook his head. An inexplicable temperament suddenly emanated from him. It was confidence and the calmness of a superior person.
He gently put the small cake into his mouth and chewed it carefully, his white neck twitching slightly.
Ladies holding red wine glasses gradually gathered around. They were all watching Lu Mingfei eating cake. Everyone swallowed slightly unconsciously. Lu Mingfei's movements were full of strange charm.
Finally, Lu Mingfei wiped his hands gently, stood up from his seat, and looked at Mai Shutoku, who was almost as tall as him on high heels.
He took a slight step forward and whispered in her ear: "You will be dead when you go back."
When the warm breath exhaled by Lu Mingfei initially echoed in her ears, Mai Jiudoku's heart also swayed.
But after hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Jiude Mai's body trembled and she almost lost her balance. It seemed that she would have to explain it later.
Lu Mingfei turned to look at Kenichi Murakami, the owner of the cruise ship, and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Murakami, it's really rude to say hello to you now."
Kenichi Murakami held Lu Mingfei's hand and smiled, "It's okay, but I didn't expect that in addition to Director Mai, the CEO of your group would also be here. It would be my dereliction of duty not to give him a good welcome."
"How could it be possible? Isn't he from the Chen family?" Ji Tian, who was ignored, asked.
Why is this plot so different from what I thought?
"Who is this?" Murakami Kenichi frowned.
"Mr. Murakami, I am Ji Tian, the head of the Asia region of Tiansheng Group." Ji Tian replied respectfully.
He still respects this person very much. There are countless businessmen and high-ranking officials on the Eternal Paradise, and Murakami Kenichi is undoubtedly the connecting point of this vast network of people.
It's just that what he is concerned about now is Lu Mingfei's identity. A person he thought was a pretty boy, maybe he was lucky enough to fall into the eyes of Mai Shutoku. Why did he suddenly become the so-called CEO?
He didn't quite believe that a world-famous group like Zero Dawn would let such a young man take the position of CEO.
"It's just a disguise, isn't it hard to understand?" Mai Shutoku looked at him playfully.
Get rid of this sticky candy on yourself today!
"Disguise? Sorry, I don't quite understand. Can you explain it?" Ji Tian frowned, waiting for her answer.
If this man is really the CEO of Mai Shutori's group, then he will admit defeat and immediately walk as far as he can, after all, his arms can't hold his thighs.
Kenichi Murakami watched this scene with great interest. To be honest, although Lu Mingfei was young, his aura of a superior person could not be faked.
But it doesn't matter, it doesn't conflict with your goals, the result is the same.
"Mr. Chen, can you explain me?" Jiude Mai looked at Chen Yinian with a smile.
All eyes immediately focused on Chen Yinian, and even his nephew Chen Zhi looked at him with confusion.
Chen Motong and Su Qian on the side glanced at Lu Mingfei with strange expressions. They really didn't know that Lu Mingfei had this identity.
But this Jiude Mai was indeed Lu Mingfei's subordinate. Chen Motong thought about the scene of the mission together in Bronze City, in which Jiude Mai had been following them.
Chen Yinian glanced at Lu Mingfei, but didn't see any expression. Then he glanced at Jiude Mai, and saw a hidden threat in Jiude Mai's eyes.
He realized.
I saw Chen Yinian looking at Ji Tian with a smile, "I'm sorry, in fact, our Chen family has cooperated with Zero Dawn Group for a long time. Mr. Lu came in in the name of the Chen family just because he didn't want others to know his identity."
"He needed to secretly investigate whether the company where some people on the ship were working was worthy of cooperation, so he didn't identify himself in time. I didn't expect that this would cause everyone's misunderstanding. I'm really sorry."
Chen Yinian said sorry, but his face looked kind.
Hearing this, many people were surprised. Did they not expect that the Zero Dawn Group's inspection started from the moment they boarded the ship?
Many of them boarded the ship only after seeking cooperation from this huge group.
"No, Uncle Chen, are you telling the truth?" Ji Tian said anxiously.
"This is the truth." Chen Yinian looked at him with a smile, "Our Chen family also has some cooperation with your Tiansheng Group. Would I lie to you about this kind of thing?"
Then he added in his mind that as long as he had money, there was nothing he could do. The main purpose of coming to this ship was to cooperate with Mai Shutoku's group. The current changes made him very happy.
After all, in name only, he and Lu Mingfei were grasshoppers on the same rope. Lu Mingfei was still the new person in charge. Principal Ange really gave himself a good gift.
No longer paying attention to Ji Tian's gaze, he turned around and showed a kind smile, "Mr. Murakami, this is the situation. I'm really sorry that I concealed Chief Lu's identity from you when I boarded the ship."
"It doesn't matter. With Mr. Lu's status, being able to come here will bring glory to our place. It's just a small concealment of his identity, which is nothing." Murakami Kenichi replied with a smile.
Ji Tian looked stunned, "No, I."
In an instant, an invisible pressure was released around him.
Why am I shaking? Ji Tian found that his body was shaking, but he did not feel cold.
Suddenly, he understood that it was his soul that was trembling.
"Okay, I don't want to hear any more nonsense." Lu Mingfei said softly.
Ji Tian looked at Lu Mingfei. He found the source of his fear, but the people around him seemed to be in a different world than him and did not notice anything unusual here.
This time I really failed. Thinking about the decisions I have made over the years, why am I so excited this time? Have you been in a high position for too long and forgotten that there is a higher position above?
Ji Tian bent down slightly, turned around and left. In a daze, he met a girl wearing a maid's dress.
Xia Mi seemed to be stunned after being hit, and didn't make any movement.
Chu Zihang, who was standing not far away after watching the farce, frowned slightly, walked over quickly, grabbed Xia Mi's arm, and brought him to Su Qian and Chen Motong.
"Don't serve other people at this banquet. Just have fun with us." Chu Zihang said.
"Yeah!" Xia Mi nodded obediently.
"Mr. Lu, I'll go over first, and we'll talk about it later." Kenichi Murakami, an old man, said with a smile.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded slightly.
After Kenichi Murakami left, many people were quietly looking at Lu Mingfei.
Mai Shutoku stood straight in her black dress and looked at everyone, "This is our CEO and the shareholder with the largest share of our group. It's really rude to tell you now."
"What Director Mai said is so disrespectful. Rather, we feel quite honored to have met this young executive again."
Some middle-aged businessmen praised shyly.
Lu Mingfei on the side looked at everyone with a smile, but I don't know what he was thinking.
At first, everyone just thought that this was just a very handsome young man.
But after Lu Mingfei's identity was exposed, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at him. It was the way a lower-level person looked at a higher-level person. After their understanding, they also knew that this young man actually held the largest share of the Zero Dawn Group.
This is not something that can be explained by a young and promising person. He is clearly a giant of a force. No matter what his origins are, he is enough to become the person with the highest status on the Eternal Paradise.
The only others who can barely compete with him are Kenichi Murakami and Mai Shutoku.
Murakami Kenichi because of the power behind him and his status as the owner of the ship, and Shutoku Mai because she is also a senior member of the Zero Dawn Group.
In this way, some people who wanted to cooperate with Lu Mingfei's group also came over and chatted with Lu Mingfei.
Although Lu Mingfei didn't know any of them, he still communicated with them politely.
Mai Shutoku, who should have been the most popular, was also left aside at this time.
Jiutoku Mai didn't care, she found a seat and sat down, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine, thinking about how to beg for mercy when Lu Mingfei was done.
Seduction doesn't seem to work, so just pretend to be pitiful?
Very good, you deserve to be the best ninja in Japan, Mai Shutoku, you are awesome!
After Xia Mi, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit, was forced to fish, she immediately started to eat the buffet on the table.
Her teeth are very good, at least that's what Chen Motong and Su Qian think. Watching her gnaw on the Australian lobster makes her teeth hurt, because this girl doesn't eat in the normal way at all, she just chews it with her teeth!
Chu Zihang sat next to Lin Yang, thinking about his tooth decay, and suddenly felt a little envious of Xia Mi.
After finishing one bite after another, she suddenly felt everyone's eyes on her.
Xia Mi felt a little embarrassed, "You guys should eat too, don't just watch me eat!"
Everyone was slightly silent as they looked at the eaten lobster on the table.
Chu Zihang stood up silently, went to other tables, brought a few more and put them on the table.
He looked at Xia Mi with a paralyzed face: "If it's not enough, I'll get you some more."
"Senior brother!" Xia Mi looked touched.
"Wipe your hands." Susie handed over the tissue.
"Senior sister!" Xia Mi was moved again.
"Ah~, what a nightmare." Lu Mingfei came over from a distance. It was really tiring to chat with those people. They were either trying to please themselves or talking about the benefits of their cooperation.
Lu Mingfei always smiled and nodded, making comments from time to time. Finally, he took advantage of an opportunity to say that he had something to do, and then left the siege.
Damn it, why are the people surrounding my senior brother all girls, but the people surrounding me are all big men!
After coming back, he reached out and picked up the Australian lobster on the table. When no one was around, he hid behind Chu Zihang and gnawed on it.
In the blink of an eye, everything on the table was cleared by him, and then he glanced at everyone watching, "You guys eat too, don't just watch me eat."
"Where are you from, Xia Mi!" Chen Motong complained.
Susie silently handed the tissue to Lu Mingfei to wipe his hands.
"Damn it, you actually secretly learned my moves!" Xia Mi gritted his teeth.
"Do you all just eat it with your hands?" Lin Yang was also speechless.
"That's right!" Xia Mi suddenly looked at Lu Mingfei with stars in his eyes, "Senior Brother Lu, are you really the CEO of that so-and-so group? Can you take care of me in the future?"
Lu Mingfei glanced at her and said, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."
Then he looked at Mai Shutoku, who was restless at the side, with sharp eyes.
Shutoku Mai stood up instantly, with a flattering smile on her face and a charming voice: "Brother Lu~, what's the matter?"
"This is a good location. You can see the entire banquet layout." Lu Mingfei said meaningfully.
"Brother Lu, are you thirsty? Let me get you a glass of water."
Mai Shutoku twisted her waist and poured him a glass of water.
"Yeah, just thirsty."
Mai Shutoku brought the water over, Lu Mingfei picked it up and took a sip, then glanced at Mai Jutoku, who was wearing an evening dress that fit her curves, and suddenly said, "Mai, sit down."
This sentence is said in Japanese.
"Senior Brother Lu looks so scary." Xia Mi whispered.
Mai Shutoku sat down obediently.
Lu Mingfei stood in front of her, looking down at her, "Do you have anything to explain?"
"Hey!"
Mai Shutoku raised her little face and showed what she thought was the most charming smile. She put her hand on her head, then tilted her head and stuck out her tongue, acting decisively cute.
Lu Mingfei stretched out his fist expressionlessly and clenched her head hard.
"It hurts, it hurts! Brother Lu, stop it!" Jiude Mai covered her mouth and shouted softly, not daring to let others hear.
At this moment, the lights that were shining on the entire floor suddenly became more gorgeous, and countless crystal chandeliers hanging on the roof exuded gorgeous light.
Celebrities stood or sat, looking towards the front of the banquet.
"Welcome everyone to the paradise I built." Kenichi Murakami held up the microphone with a smile on his face, "Our dance party is about to begin tonight, please enter in order."
The men present saluted and invited the women around them, and the women smiled and put their hands on theirs, and entered the dance floor with them.
Lu Mingfei also stopped grabbing Jiude Mai's head.
"Brother Lu, are you going to dance?" Jiude Mai immediately stood up full of energy, moved forward slightly, and whispered close to Lu Mingfei, "Don't refuse."
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment about the identity assigned by Jiude Mai, and sighed, "Come on."
The two of them moved forward together.
Su Qian, wearing a white dress, stood up and looked at Chu Zihang, stretched out her hand, "President."
Chu Zihang was silent for a moment and took Su Qian's hand.
Click, click, click!
Xia Mi looked at the backs of the two of them and bit harder.
Then he took a look at the maid uniform he was wearing and sighed heavily!
The music starts.
Wearing a tight-fitting black evening gown, Mai Shutoku held Lu Mingfei's hand with one hand and put her other hand on his shoulder.
Lu Mingfei's right hand was holding Jiude Mai's exposed back.
A warm and soft feeling spread to his hand, and Lu Mingfei looked a little strange.
Pure black suits and pure black dresses bloomed on the dance floor.
As an executive, Lu Mingfei has outstanding looks and temperament. Coupled with Mai Shutoku's tall figure and extremely close-fitting dress, well, it's mainly because of his domineering figure.
These two figures firmly caught the eyes of others.
Jiude Mai looked at Lu Mingfei with a strange expression, picked up the crimson eye shadow, and said pretentiously: "Brother Lu, are you excited?"
"Don't wear this backless dress next time." Lu Mingfei whispered.
"Is there a next time?" Mai Shutoku looked surprised.
He pinched her back gently and said, "Don't think about those things that are there or not."
Mai Shutoku, who was wearing high heels, danced with Lu Mingfei's movements, with a smile on her face.
"You were so confused just now. What's going on with the CEO? Are you kidding me?" Lu Mingfei whispered in her ear.
Mai Shutoku also leaned against his ear and blew hot air gently, "It's not a joke."
Following the rhythm of the music, Lu Mingfei flicked and then pulled, allowing Mai Shutoku to enjoy the sudden surprise.
Mai Shutoku exclaimed softly.
"Don't fool around. I don't believe that I am asked to be a CEO for no reason. Speak clearly."
"Actually, we told you a long time ago that you are our second boss. Now that the boss has recognized your ability to slay dragons, he feels more at ease with you, so he arranged for Potato Chip Girl to help you hand over the shares. The CEO didn't lie. You, I didn’t lie to you at most about your shares.” Mai Shutoku explained.
The previous slap-in-the-face plot always seemed weird to me, so I modified it a little bit. Regards!
Time: March 24th, 12:00 noon!
