Chapter 73 Depressing BanquetLooking at the man in front of him who was obviously older than him, Lu Li couldn't figure out for a moment whether he did it on purpose or by accident.
"Wait, when did I get a nephew like you?"
The man was stunned for a moment. "You forgot that Uncle Lu introduced me to you at the graduation banquet two months ago. In terms of seniority, I have to call you uncle."
After hearing this, Lu Li seemed to have some impression of it.
He remembered that many relatives came to the graduation banquet. In any case, no matter whether they were familiar or unfamiliar, his parents treated them all.
The generational order of that large group of people was very messy, but at least they all had the surname Lu.
"I remember now, you seem to run a winery?"
"Yes, yes, uncle, you remembered, it's me!" The man smiled and nodded repeatedly, "I'm Lu Yuan, I run the West City Winery. There is one thing I'm curious about, uncle, in what capacity are you attending the banquet this time?"
Lu Yuan had attended similar banquets many times, but had never met Lu Li or his father.
After all, Lu Li's family's industries are mainly concentrated in the north, with only a few branches established in the south. The capital currently accumulated by the branches is not enough to attend this banquet.
So Lu Li's sudden appearance here made him wonder, could it be that Lu Li's father's company was finally preparing to make big moves?
Lu Li smiled and replied, "I should be attending the banquet this time as Jiang Lianxue's boyfriend."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan's expression became unnatural for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, "Sorry to bother you, uncle."
After saying goodbye with a smile, Lu Yuan turned and walked to the other side of the banquet hall. Several bosses seemed to be waiting for him to return with news, and they soon began to talk in low voices.
Although Lu Li noticed this, he didn't care.
The family business had nothing to do with him. He never touched it, never asked about it, and never cared about it.
Anyway, the family never expected Lu Li to take over the company, as long as he lived the life he liked.
The waiter quickly brought the Coke over, bent over and handed it to Lu Li, smiling, "Sir, please enjoy. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, thank you."
Lu Li took the can of Coke, which had a straw stuck in it, and drank it up and down.
Seeing that no one came to talk to him, Lu Li drank Coke while taking out his cell phone and reading a novel.
His book is about to be tested, and he has a very calm attitude towards it.
Now he feels that it doesn't matter whether the results are good or bad. First, the script on hand is enough to make a lot of money. Second, even if the novel flopped, so what? He still has Jiang Lianxue!
Lu Li has found the person who makes him look forward to waking up every day.
It was still some time before dinner time and the host of the party had not yet appeared, so everyone was quite relaxed.
Except for Lu Li, everyone present was an acquaintance and each had his own small circle, making Lu Li look like a lone wolf.
The sound of high heels rang beside his ears. Lu Li, who was flipping through a novel, looked up curiously and saw a cold and beautiful woman in a black suspender dress standing in front of him.
"Are you Xiaoxue's boyfriend?"
"Yes. You are?"
Lu Li felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
"I'm Lin Ling'er. My father has some questions for you."
Lu Li frowned slightly, and then he realized that the woman in front of him was the one who was playing the piano just now.
"Why didn't your father come and ask me in person if he had any questions?"
Lu Li really didn't care much about other people's looks, but he didn't do anything wrong to warrant being questioned like this.
He tried his best to control the emotions in his tone and looked at Lin Linger calmly.
Lin Linger's eyes were somewhat dim, and she lowered her brows slightly, as if she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After a few seconds of silence, she turned and left without saying another word. Lu Li watched her walk towards an old man. The conversation between the two did not seem to be very harmonious, but due to the occasion, neither of them got angry.
In fact, Lu Li knew very well why the other party didn't come and ask in person.
I simply felt that he was a junior and not qualified enough for me to ask in person.
Lu Li continued to drink his Coke and read the novel again.
Presumably, the big boss would not bother with a junior like me anymore and would just watch the joke waiting for him.
It would be really embarrassing if he really got involved and made things difficult for himself.
After all, Lu Li was just an ordinary college student.
He was becoming more and more bored with the banquet. It was always like this no matter where or when.
No wonder Jiang Lianxue didn’t want to come. For them, there was really no need to wear masks and cooperate with the acting.
I shook the empty Coke can in my hand and could hear the sound of the straw hitting the can.
Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, hesitating whether to ask the waiter for another can of Coke or find something else to do.
At this time, the music slowly stopped, and everyone turned their eyes to the stands upstairs of the banquet hall, and Lu Li was no exception.
The protagonist of this banquet is finally about to make his official appearance.
The first one came was Jiang Lianxue, who was wearing a red dress. She had a calm face and no expression. She just walked quietly to the fence of the stands and looked down.
In everyone's impression, she has always been a princess as cold as an ice lotus. Everyone can't help but want to make her smile, but unfortunately no one can do it.
Holding the railing, Jiang Lianxue looked around the banquet hall, as if looking for something.
Soon, she found her target, and Binglian smiled the most beautifully.
She lifted her soft hands that were pressing on the fence slightly, and subconsciously wanted to wave and say hello, but the sound of footsteps behind her dispelled the idea.
Being looked at gently by Jiang Lianxue, Lu Li stood up, smiled and nodded, indicating that he was here.
Jiang Lianxue turned sideways with peace of mind, and a middle-aged man in a neat suit stepped forward, with a sharp gaze, elegant and full of courage.
Lu Li had once seen a certain temperament in his father, and now he could clearly see it in this middle-aged man.
That is the natural aura of a leader who brings cohesion. As long as he is here, people will feel at ease.
When Lu Li saw the man's face clearly, he was stunned.
Many memories collided in his mind at once, and he quickly figured out many things.
The 500,000 yuan script fee suddenly felt a little hot.
He had revealed his past and his possible future father-in-law without even realizing it.
Before going to bed last night, Jiang Lianxue said in his arms that Jiang's father might have seen him in person in advance.
Lu Li expressed his doubt at the time, wondering if he was being secretly observed?
Only now did he understand how outrageous the other party's methods were.
Spend half a million to buy your daughter's boyfriend's love story?
This level is really high!
As Jiang's father showed up, everyone present smiled and began to applaud. For a moment, thunderous applause rang out in the banquet hall, and everyone was working so hard.
Holding the railing and standing side by side with his daughter, Jiang's father did not immediately respond to the crowd's welcome, but also cast his eyes on Lu Li.
One old and one young, one above and one below, staring at each other from a distance.
The corners of their mouths slowly rose up and they smiled.
