ASSHKHME Chapter 51

Chapter 51 You Look the Best

Friday, Tailin International Hotel.

The news of the strong alliance between the Xu family and the Yuan family has caused quite a stir in Jiangbei’s business community.

Luxury cars crowded the entrance of the hotel. In addition to the invited business elites, many reporters were blocked outside, wanting to get first-hand information for reporting.

Xu Qingyou is only twenty-six or seven years old this year, but he has an iron-blooded wrist that does not match his age. In such a sluggish period in the real estate industry, he can still lead Taifeng Construction Group to move forward against the tide of the times. His strength should not be underestimated.

Although the Yuan family is not as good as it was ten years ago, it has deep roots and a very high status in Jiangbei. The eldest lady of the Yuan family, Yuan Sijie, has even fought for the position of the company’s top leader from the hands of three brothers with her outstanding work ability.

The two workaholics who used to be competitors have now become the protagonists of the same engagement banquet. Therefore, in addition to financial reporters, there are also many gossip reporters standing at the door, but without exception, none of them can get in.

Xie Yu lowered the car window and looked out, and said, “Good fellow, making such a big commotion, is this an engagement or an investment promotion?”

Chen Zhuo, who was sitting next to him, leaned out to look at the huge engagement poster hanging at the entrance of the hotel. Putting aside the fact that the two protagonists’ faces did not show intimacy and sweetness, they looked very well-matched. He said, “A talented man and a beautiful woman, my sister-in-law is very beautiful.”

Xie Yu, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sat in the spacious back seat of the Maybach, propped his head and looked at Chen Zhuo, who was also wearing a suit.

His gaze lingered ambiguously over the small wrinkles in the fabric around his waist, and he leaned closer to him and whispered, “Is that so? I just think you look the best.”

Xie Liangjun, Xie Yu’s biological father, was sitting in the front.

A police siren rang loudly in Chen Zhuo’s mind. He reflexively slapped Xie Yu’s mouth and whispered, “Shut up.”

Xie Yu winced in pain, covered his mouth and hummed twice, then turned his face away, kicking the seat in front of him unhappily, “Dad, where’s Mom? Isn’t she the most eager to join in the fun? Why didn’t she come?”

Xie Liangjun coughed with his fist against his mouth, and said unnaturally, “Your mother is not feeling well, so I didn’t let her come.”

Xie Yu frowned slightly, “What’s wrong with my mom? Is she sick?”

Chen Zhuo followed worriedly, “The flu is rampant recently, could Auntie have caught the flu?”

The silver threads at Xie Liangjun’s temples swayed, “She’s not sick, it’s just…”

The Maybach slowly stopped in front of the hotel. A doorman came to greet them, and he changed the subject, “Oh, we’re here, we should get out of the car.”

Chen Zhuo and Xie Yu looked at each other. Xie Yu shrugged, “She probably stayed up late at night reading novels and couldn’t get up. My mom’s body is as strong as an ox.”

So Chen Zhuo didn’t ask any more questions. He picked up the exquisitely packaged gift, got out of the car, and walked into the banquet hall with Xie Yu.

As soon as he entered the hall, Chen Zhuo heard a familiar voice calling his name. Following the voice, he saw Xu Qingyou, who was greeting guests with Yuan Sijie.

Xu Qingyou left the crowd, holding a glass of champagne in his hand, and walked towards Chen Zhuo. He first greeted Xie Liangjun, “Chairman Xie, long time no see. Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule.”

Xie Liangjun exchanged greetings with him, “President Xu, you’re too polite.” He looked at Yuan Sijie next to him and smiled, “A talented man and a beautiful woman, congratulations to you both.”

Yuan Sijie smiled appropriately, “Chairman Xie, please come this way.”

The assistant had already put down the gift. Xie Liangjun nodded, followed the greeter for two steps, and realized that Xie Yu had not followed.

Turning his head to look, Xie Yu was chatting with Chen Zhuo and Xu Qingyou.

Xie Liangjun wanted to pull his good son over to greet this general manager and that general manager, but before he could speak, he heard someone call him, “Hey, Lao Xie, you’re here too, long time no see! What have you been busy with recently?”

Xie Liangjun picked up a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray and greeted his old friend with a smile, no longer paying attention to Xie Yu.

Over here, Yuan Sijie personally accepted Chen Zhuo’s gift and glanced at Xu Qingyou with a smile that was not a smile, “Thank you for the gift, little brother.”

“You’re welcome.”

Chen Zhuo didn’t interact much with girls and was a little restrained. He said, “It’s a pair of couple cups, a niche design style. I hope my sister-in-law will like it. I wish you happiness and joy forever, and a harmonious union for a hundred years.”

Yuan Sijie couldn’t help laughing, and took Xu Qingyou’s arm, “Xiao Zhuo is so cute and so likable, right, dear?”

Xu Qingyou lowered his eyes to look at her, with an imperceptible warning. Yuan Sijie winked at him and let go of his hand, “Honey, I’m going to entertain my friends, you’re busy.”

Xie Yu always felt that the way these two people interacted was weird, but he couldn’t say exactly what was weird.

Xu Qingyou didn’t spare Xie Yu even half an eye. He calmly looked at Chen Zhuo’s outfit, suppressed the amazing look, and slowly said, “Xiao Zhuo, didn’t I tell you to call me when you arrived? Why did you come with Chairman Xie?”

Chen Zhuo was still thinking about maintaining his brotherhood with Xu Qingyou. He scratched his palm and smiled, “Qingyou-ge, I was afraid you were busy. We’re not outsiders, so I came directly.”

Obviously, his sentence “not outsiders” pleased Xu Qingyou very much.

Xu Qingyou’s eyes softened a bit. He patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Xie Yu and said, “Young Master Xie is here too. Xiao Zhuo, help me take care of him.”

Xie Yu rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking: Are you blind? I’ve been standing here for five minutes and you just saw me? Sure enough, I still hate the people I hated when I first met! Pretending elite man!

Xie Yu took a step forward and hooked Chen Zhuo’s neck, pulling him towards him, and smiled, “President Xu is the main character today, go ahead and be busy. Don’t worry, Xiao Zhuo will definitely take good care of me.”

Chen Zhuo struggled a bit, but Xie Yu’s arm was like a block of iron, and he couldn’t break free. He glared at Xie Yu.

Xu Qingyou looked unhappy and was about to say something when someone suddenly called him, “Xu Qingyou, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to greet us?”

Chen Zhuo turned his head to look and saw two tall young men being led in by the greeters. They were Xu Qingyou’s friends, but he wasn’t familiar with them and had only seen them two or three times.

“Oh my, is this Xiao Zhuo? You’ve grown so big?”

One of the men, wearing a dark suit with a dark pattern, walked over with a smile and took out a Want Want milk candy from somewhere, handed it to Chen Zhuo, and teased him, “Call me brother and I’ll give you candy.”

Xu Qingyou said helplessly, “Song Yao, don’t always tease him.”

Chen Zhuo was a little speechless, “Song Yao-ge, I’m all grown up.”

Song Yao laughed loudly, “You’ve grown up, the first time I saw you, you were still a little bean, just…” He gestured, putting the milk candy in his mouth, “just up to my chest.”

Saying that, Song Yao looked at the man next to him and said with emotion, “Lu-lu, how fast time flies, we’re almost thirty.”

Wu Qilu picked up the wine glass next to him, “Who says otherwise, I thought a workaholic like Qingyou would die alone.”

“Lu-ge, hello.” Chen Zhuo greeted Wu Qilu, pulled Xie Yu to the side, “Qingyou-ge, you guys chat, we won’t disturb you.”

Wu Qilu looked at Xu Qingyou, and only saw Xu Qingyou’s gaze lingering on Chen Zhuo’s back for a second before he restrainedly moved it away.

Wu Qilu sighed, “Lao Xu, I really admire you. You treat marriage as a business deal and have pure love behind your back. Why don’t you try it and see if it works?”

Being with his friends, Xu Qingyou was rarely relaxed, and mocked himself, “Sometimes trying it will only lead to death. What if I scare people so much that they never want to see me again?”

Song Yao patted Xu Qingyou’s shoulder, “Brother~ you have this patience, you can succeed in anything.”

Wu Qilu and Song Yao looked at each other and said with ill intentions, “Yaozi, let’s bet two packs of spicy strips, Xu Qingyou, this big sucker, will still have to prepare a wedding house and a bride price for his sweetheart in the future, and I guess he will have to worry about the wedding and the baby’s full moon party.”

Song Yao looked complicated and happily said, “Oh my, heavens, the living Buddha saves the world!”

Xu Qingyou was annoyed by the teasing of these two bad friends, but he was also very helpless, “Get lost.”
