Chapter 171 Celebration Dinner, why are you holding my hand?
Feeling refreshed, Luo Yang returned to his rental house and took a hot shower.
Put on a shirt and trousers, put on a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, and set off for the old town of Songjiang.
The hotel Liang Yuxin booked is called Zhuangyuanlou, a restaurant specializing in Huaiyang cuisine.
As early as four or five years ago, Hangzhou cuisine was popular in Shanghai, with chain stores like Wanjia Denghuo opening in almost every district.
But they all disappeared like shooting stars within a few years.
Zhuangyuanlou is based in Songjiang and has been steadily developing. Its reputation and business have been good over the years.
When Luo Yang arrived, he met them face to face in the parking lot.
"Chairman, Mr. Liang, Mr. Jiang."
Except for one unfamiliar face, everyone present was an acquaintance. It seemed that only the company's senior management were present to attend the celebration banquet.
"Yue Tao, the new marketing director of the company."
People who work in marketing are already very successful in the community and don't need anyone else to introduce them to each other. Yue Tao took the initiative to greet Luo Yang.
There was no conflict between him and Luo Yang, and he was new in the team, so he kept a low profile.
"Hello Director Yue, I'm Luo Yang."
The two shook hands calmly and got to know each other.
"Xiao Luo, don't you have summer vacation?"
When walking into the hotel, Liang Yuxin deliberately fell behind and walked side by side with Luo Yang.
As we walked, we chatted: "I thought you were at home, or traveling. Is there anything you want to do in the Magic City?"
She was curious, really curious.
I attended a reunion of Luo Yang’s classmates before the holiday. How was the effect of waiting for the attack?
Why did he stay in Shanghai during the summer vacation?
Why didn’t you stay back home or with your girlfriend?
Liang Yuxin felt like a cat was scratching her heart.
"I started a college student entrepreneurship project and moved into the Minhang Science and Technology Park before the holiday. I have made some progress recently, so I came to take a look."
Luo Yang smiled and explained: "I will go back in a few days."
"So you're going to be running back and forth in August?"
Liang Yuxin quickly caught the bright spot and said with a smile: "You didn't even contact me after coming to the Magic City. Are you afraid that I will ask you to treat me to a meal?"
If it were someone else, they would definitely agree to treat us without hesitation.
Unfortunately, she met a monster who didn't play by the rules.
"That's right, I'm worried about that."
Luo Yang responded bluntly: "Sister Yuxin, you always go to high-end places. Treating you to dinner would cost at least a few thousand, or even tens of thousands. I would feel bad if I treated such a guest."
"Pfft!"
Liang Yuxin laughed and glared at Luo Yang: "Virtue!"
Yue Tao, who was walking not far ahead, had his mouth twitching.
This former director obviously has a lot of fame in the circle, and he has such a close relationship with Mr. Liang.
How did you become the marketing director?
Is it really because of avoiding suspicion?
He couldn't help but look up at Liang Xingmin who was walking in front.
At this moment, Old Liang was walking with Jiang Fangjie. The two of them walked into the Huakai Fugui Hall while chatting and laughing. They didn't seem to notice that their daughter and Luo Yang were the last ones to walk.
There were only a few senior executives at Jincheng Real Estate, and they could be accommodated at a large round table.
"Originally, we were planning to hold a celebration banquet together to make it more festive and lively."
Before the dinner started, Liang Xingmin said a few words: "But some people suggested that we should keep a low profile, after all, this is a demolition and resettlement project."
After his opening remarks, Lao Liang was the first to raise his glass: "Cheers to celebrate the company's opportunity for greater development!"
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
"."
Amidst the harmonious conversation, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.
"Mr. Liang, I'm curious."
After the banquet started, Luo Yang, who was sitting next to Liang Yuxin, leaned slightly and asked, "Shouldn't this project have been finalized at the beginning of the month? Why was it not finalized until this morning?"
He said hello before the holiday and sent Lu Hao and Chen Xufeng to work on the project, but it was not decided until today.
I was originally planning to go see these two people tonight and have a midnight snack together.
I don’t know whether they have started work yet. I will call Xie Huaiming to ask after the dinner.
"It's all because of the land exchange."
When Liang Yuxin heard Luo Yang mention this, she immediately said angrily: "Old Liang is soft-hearted. He listened to Fu Bin and Wei Chaoping and insisted on negotiating the listing conditions of the original resettlement land before the project was finalized. As a result, Minhang discussed it for more than a week. To be honest, this project almost fell through."
"Isn't it?"
Luo Yang glanced at Liang Xingmin, who was sitting at the top of the table, and said, "Except in front of you, the chairman doesn't seem like someone who would be easily influenced."
Hehe, Xiao Luo’s speech is so nice.
Liang Yuxin felt much better after being praised in a subtle way.
But she was still dissatisfied, and then she curled her lips and said, "Later, we had to move out your plan to increase the plot ratio and add commercial space, which saved the project. Do you really think that the three companies are avoiding holding a celebration banquet together? Old Liang is not comfortable."
Wow, this is a cooperative project.
The conflict hasn't even started yet and the three families are already unhappy with each other. This is not a good sign.
"Don't worry too much. Fu Bin and Wei Chaoping also feel embarrassed."
Liang Yuxin was happy when she saw the worry on Luo Yang's face, thinking that he was concerned about her.
So he smiled and said, "I bet that within three days, the two of them will drag Lao Liang out for a drink. Some things can be solved by talking it out over a drink. The three of them have been friends for more than ten years."
Luo Yang nodded. He had seen it last time when they were drinking. It seemed that Liang Xingmin and the other two did have a good relationship.
"Next is the second glass of wine!"
While they were chatting, Liang Xingmin started to serve the second glass of wine: "For this second glass of wine, I would like to thank everyone here for their concerted efforts, which allowed me to charge forward without any worries. Cheers to everyone!"
"Cheers!" "Cheers!"
"."
After finishing this cup, Liang Xingmin did not stop. He poured himself another small cup and then looked at Luo Yang.
"This third glass of wine is for someone alone."
He raised the wine cup towards Luo Yang and said, "Advisor Luo Yang, it was his brilliant plan that played a key role in this bidding. Xiao Luo, come on, let's have a drink!"
There were three glasses of wine in total, and Luo Yang drank one alone.
Everyone's eyes were on him.
Luo Yang stood up, feeling flattered, holding the wine cup and saying, "Chairman, you are too kind. I am paid by the company, and I must live up to the salary."
Old fox, you are roasting me on the fire.
Is it because I'm too close to your daughter?
Sure enough, after he made his toast clear, everyone, starting with Jiang Fangjie, raised their wine cups to toast him.
Everyone can see that although Luo Yang is no longer an assistant or director, a consultant can still have power as long as Lao Liang values him.
Not to mention the way Xiao Liang always looked at him.
How can I handle this, no matter how good my alcohol tolerance is.
Fortunately, Liang Yuxin was sitting next to him. How could she watch him being forced to drink?
As soon as she stepped forward to block the wine, her popularity immediately dropped.
This kind of dinner for company executives never ends at the end. The rest of the time is spent either playing cards together or singing karaoke.
Liang Yuxin was not in the mood for that and pulled Luo Yang to go somewhere else.
Before leaving, Lao Liang gave Luo Yang a sharp look: Better control yourself, if you dare to do anything extra.
Ha ha
Luo Yang sneered in his heart.
If Jiang Fan wasn't already here, you would have become a grandfather before next summer, believe it or not?
There are so many places to go in Shanghai after 8:30 pm.
Liang Yuxin took Luo Yang to visit her best friend's bar again.
At the Yunduo Music Restaurant and Bar, Gu Man changed the signboard. She felt that the name that Luo Yang had casually mentioned last time was very appropriate.
"Hey, it's not a festival, how come Miss Liang has time to come and show her support?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Is the small box on the second floor empty?"
Gu Man reserved a small private room in the Yunduo Music Restaurant and Bar to entertain only close friends.
"Just because you're still thinking about me right now, I'll definitely keep it for you!"
After hugging Liang Yuxin, Gu Man still opened her arms: "Little handsome boy, give me a hug!"
The tone of her voice was exactly like that of a female hooligan.
"Sister Gu Man, you are too magnanimous. I feel seasick!"
On the art of teasing, Master Luo is ten years ahead in knowledge. How could he possibly be intimidated by a fake fairy like Gu Man?
"Good boy, Yuxin, take care of your little wolf dog. He actually dared to tease me."
When Gu Man didn't know how to respond, she immediately took Liang Yuxin's arm and said, "If you dare to tease me today, you will dare to tease me tomorrow..."
"Okay, you're just a bunch of bastards."
Liang Yuxin was very satisfied with Luo Yang's refusal to hug Gu Man, so how could she blame him?
After arguing with her best friend, she took Luo Yang and went straight to the music restaurant and bar.
Leaving behind Gu Man with an indignant look on her face.
"Liang Yuxin, I want to end my friendship with you!"
She chased after him with her teeth bared
Following him all the way to the door of the small private room on the second floor, Gu Man leaned against the door frame and was about to make fun of their relationship when she was interrupted by Luo Yang.
"What about the song list?"
Luo Yang said to Gu Man, "Waiter, I'll pay for all the remaining songs tonight!"
Ordering songs at Yunduo Music Bar costs 100 yuan per song, which is about four or five minutes long.
It's not even ten o'clock now, and even if the resident band sings without a break until twelve o'clock, it will only cost two or three thousand yuan.
But the airs that Luo Yang put on just now were as if he had spent three or four hundred thousand dollars, and he was full of momentum.
"Pfft!"
Seeing her best friend standing there in a daze with a silly look on her face, Liang Yuxin laughed so hard that she lay on the table.
Gu Man knew from this that she would never be able to defeat the two people who joined forces, so she retreated obediently.
Soon, a dozen Coronas, a dozen Heinekens, and four or five plates of snacks were brought in. It was actually quite comfortable to listen to the songs I ordered and drink cold beer.
"Ronaldo."
The more Liang Yuxin drank, the brighter her eyes became.
She took the initiative again: "I didn't cause you any trouble last time?"
"?"
Taking his eyes away from the pretty lead singer, Luo Yang looked towards Liang Yuxin and gave her a puzzled look.
"Attending your classmates' dinner party."
"Oh"
Luo Yang smiled; "Just take care of yourself, who can control other people's mouths?"
He hinted to Liang Yuxin, your affairs have reached my girlfriend's ears!
Of course, this girlfriend definitely does not refer to Jiang Fan.
"As long as you don't care."
Liang Yuxin narrowed her eyes and smiled: "But you don't have to worry about anything. Next time, call the person out and I'll treat you. Just make it clear!"
Haha, you really take me as a fool!
Invite the person out so that you can use the strategy of sowing discord?
In the name of Sister Yuxin?
Luo Yang's thoughts had just wandered for a while when he found that one of his hands on the table was grabbed by Liang Yuxin.
No, talking is one thing, but why are you grabbing my hand?
