Because his back was to the door, Chu Hefu couldn't help but turn his head and look at the person who made the sound when he heard the melodious and clear baritone voice.
This didn't seem like a big deal, and Chu He, who usually paid more or less attention to his image, was immediately stunned.
Travel friend?
tramp?
Or to put it more politely - backpacker?
The person who came was wearing mountaineering clothes and carrying a delicate crutch. It seemed that he had climbed the peaks that ordinary people dare not touch. He was carrying a military green mountaineering bag on his shoulders, and he had a dusty atmosphere all over his body.
.It is incompatible with this luxurious Chamber of Commerce dinner, and it stands out from the crowd.
When he arrived, many local tycoons stood up to greet this sunny man with majestic features and wheat-colored skin. The latter responded with a smile and swaggered to the celebrity table.
Crossed.
He threw down the backpack on his shoulder, and then rubbed his dusty hair. When he was still a few meters away from the star table, he took off his dirty coat, revealing the close-fitting white shirt underneath. A smile bloomed on his face.
A hearty and generous smile: "I've kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Minister Qiao stood up to welcome him and said with a smile: "It is our honor for Mr. Shang to come here."
"You're welcome." Shang Suxin picked up the huge backpack and immediately took out a box of gifts and handed it to Minister Qiao. "Minister Qiao, this is the ginseng I dug with the mountain people in Changbai Mountain. According to local residents who knew the goods
It has a history of at least five hundred years. Minister, you stay up late and work all year round, which is just a good time to replenish your health."
Minister Qiao looked happy and accepted with a smile: "Then I won't be polite." After that, he pulled Shang Suxin to sit down.
But as soon as Shang Suxin, who was misunderstood by Chu He as a woman, sat down, Chu He smelled a subtle aura. A mysterious aura!
Chu He knew that this aura was released from Shang Suxin. He couldn't help but look at him more, trying to find out.
"Young Master Chu, how do I look like a woman?" Shang Suxin rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms, and raised his cup to greet everyone.
Chu He smiled awkwardly and said: "Name."
Shang Suxin laughed: "My parents gave me my name. It has nothing to do with me."
As he spoke, he took out another gift from his backpack and handed it to Chu He: "This is the shredded tobacco I bought from a cigarette dealer in Yunnan. It is stronger and more enjoyable than the Chinese Yellow Crane Tower Hibiscus Wang. Not to mention how expensive it is.
, mainly because it’s a fresh idea. Don’t dislike it, Mr. Chu.”
Chu He had a look of astonishment on his face, but he was unambiguous. He took the tobacco from Shang Suxin and thanked him: "More Mr. Shang."
He had never even heard of this businessman from Yanjing. But he actually prepared a gift for himself. He also knew that he was a heavy smoker - this businessman was really interesting.
Next, Shang Suxin took out several gifts from the backpack that was like a treasure box. Everyone on the table had a gift. There was no preference for one or another.
Some of these gifts come from the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, and some from Yunnan on the edge. Some of them are from the most remote Tibet and the islands in the south. What is even more surprising is that, not to mention Queen Zhuge, who has never met her eyes from beginning to end, even her own
The robot aunt also happily accepted Shang Suxin's gift. This shows how popular this young master is.
After handing out the gifts, Mr. Shang took out his pipe from his pocket, stuffed some tobacco into it, lit it, took two puffs, and said, "Good smoke."
Chu He laughed dumbly.
This guy is really bold. He knew clearly that there were three women on the table who couldn't smell the smell of cigarettes, but he was not vague at all. He smoked whenever he wanted. Compared to Chu He, he was even more bohemian.
His appearance obviously stole the limelight from Young Master Huangfu and Third Young Master Fu. The latter took a sip of white wine and asked with a half-smile: "Mr. Shang, your gift comes from all over the country. Is it possible that you have traveled all over Yanjing in the six months since you left?"
All over China?"
When Shang Suxin heard this, she shook her head and said with a smile: "China is so vast and rich in resources, how can it be so easy to cover it all? I plan to spend another three years traveling in depth. I hope I can see all the places in China that I should visit."
"Why don't you consider traveling abroad?" Fu Qing changed the topic and said with a smile. "The Egyptian pyramids, Greek temples, and lost ancient cities. These places are all worth seeing."
Shang Suxin laughed: "I haven't even seen all the places of interest in my house. Why don't we go out now?"
Fu Qing pursed her lips and smiled and stopped answering.
Young Master Huangfu continued: "Master Shang, tell me where you have been. I have been very free recently and want to walk around."
"The trips we took were places that are often advertised in TV movies. The most enjoyable trip was climbing Everest." Shang Suxin blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile.
"How high did you climb?" Ouyang Feifei asked.
"Climbing once is naturally to see the scenery at the highest point." Shang Suxin said with a smile. "Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the world. In fact, many of the troubles and sorrows in the world are nothing more than a distraction."
Ouyang Feifei praised: "Young Master Shang has such great spirit."
"Sister Feifei is laughing." Shang Suxin said modestly. "You are a strong woman in the business world. I am just a wandering wild crane. I will have to rely on Sister Feifei to take care of me in the future."
Ouyang Feifei chuckled and said, "Young Master Shang is really good at joking."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite harmonious. At least the robot aunt who didn't like to talk was not embarrassed, and the heavenly-looking Queen Zhuge also held the glass of wine and sipped it slowly. Like the robot aunt, she rarely spoke. It seemed that she was not as popular as Ouyang Feifei.
After a short observation, Chu He discovered a problem. Fu Qing and Shang Su were not at odds with each other. At the very least, Fu Qing did not like Mr. Shang. He was in tit-for-tat with him everywhere, but the latter was magnanimous and did not agree with that Mr. Shang.
The narrow-minded Mr. Fu is always preoccupied with everything.
Young Master Huangfu and Shang Suxin were able to talk to each other quite well, and occasionally a few witty words in their conversation could trigger a climax of laughter at the dinner table.
"Young Master Chu, I have been traveling abroad for the past six months, and I heard that you and Xiao Zhuge were divorced before I came back. Isn't it true?" Shang Suxin asked sincerely.
Chu He was startled at first, and then noticed Shang Suxin's name for Zhuge Hongyu - Little Zhuge.
In Chu He's impression, those who can use or dare to use this title are usually grandfather-level elders such as the third grandfather, Grandpa Liu. Even at the father-level, there are few people who rely on their old age to show off in front of Queen Zhuge. Let alone those of the same age——
But the thirty-year-old Shang Suxin in front of him calmly addressed Xiao Zhuge directly. Chu He couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yeah." Chu He nodded lightly.
But it was obvious that he didn't want to talk more about it.
"The relationship broke up?" Shang Suxin asked seriously.
"——" Chu He opened his mouth and was speechless.
This Shang Suxin really dares to ask and say anything. He has no self-consciousness at all.
"Is it possible that you are having an affair?" Shang Suxin suddenly said with a face. "Do you know how many men in Yanjing are young Zhuge's dream goddesses? If you really do this, it would be really unreasonable. But -
—As a man, it’s understandable to socialize occasionally.”
"Shang Suxin." Queen Zhuge, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. A gorgeous smile appeared on her beautiful jade face. "Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart?"
When Shang Suxin heard this, she shrank her neck and said in fear: "Little Zhuge, I've been away from Beijing for half a year. If you didn't say you would take care of me, why would you tear my mouth open as soon as you come back? Could it be that we have been together for more than ten years?
Is revolutionary friendship so vulnerable?"
Queen Zhuge sipped a glass of strong wine, stood up and said, "I'm tired."
Without waiting for Minister Qiao to persuade her to stay, the queen who suffered from princess disease left gracefully.
When Ouyang Feifei saw this, she hurriedly confessed to everyone, and then left.
As soon as she left, Young Master Huangfu and Fu Qing couldn't sit still. On the contrary, Shang Suxin put her hands in her hands and said with a smile, "Come here, let me toast you all."
Chu He drank the wine, but smiled bitterly to himself. He thought to himself that Shang Su was really not afraid of offending anyone. However, he also felt that this guy was outspoken, not to mention whether he could be friends. At least he was not a difficult person to get along with.
After three rounds of drinking, Shang Suxin, whose face was red from drinking, glanced at Chuhe and asked with a smile: "Young Master Chu, do you have no impression of me at all?"
Chu He was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Do we know each other?"
"Of course we know each other!" Shang Suxin said with a straight face and regret. "We even drank wine!"
"——"
Chu He touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "I have no impression."
"Alas!" Shang Suxin sighed sadly. "Ten years ago, the password bar. Do you remember it?"
"Ten years ago." Chu He thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you the guy who was beaten into a pig's head by the crowd?"
"Hahaha!" Shang Su laughed heartily. "It's not just me!"
"——" Chu He said with a wry smile. "You were thin and white at that time."
"A man! You must be dark and strong to look manly. But you can't be too girly!" Shang Su said straightforwardly.
Chu He is a typical example of fair skin, fair skin and beauty. His words not only offended Fu Qing, but also slapped Mr. Huangfu. It was true that trouble came from his mouth, and he was not unjust at all.
"There's nothing you can do about it. It's natural." Chu He shrugged and smiled.
Being reminded by Shang Suxin, he remembered the scene when he first met Shang Suxin.
This guy was very drunk, but he flirted with a woman who was a big brother on the road, and even forced her to go out for a supper. As a result, he was beaten to the ground by a group of big men in suits. If Chu He hadn't come to the rescue
, he had to be stabbed twice in the face to end it. Later, the drunk man got up like a normal person, put his arm around Chu He's shoulders and said, "Come on, brother, please go to the rich man to wash your feet."
Chu He was so upright and pure, so of course he refused Shang Suxin's proposal.
That matter was a trivial matter for Chu He, who had been fighting since childhood. In addition, based on his background analysis of Shang Suxin, he was definitely not inferior to Fu Qing or Huangfu. Therefore, it was difficult to put the matter before him into perspective.
Shang Suxin is associated with the kid who was beaten back then.
"I admire you the most for your pretentious good friends!" Shang Suxin gave a thumbs up and clinked glasses with Chu He. "After drinking, go to the rich man to wash your feet? My treat!"
