Cheng Li is less than thirty years old, but his dark eyes are deep, calm and polite, and he always seems to be more mature and stable than anyone else.
Such people can easily gain trust.
Zhu Yucheng could see that Yun Qiao was afraid of him and wary of the Zhu family, but he was full of admiration and closeness to this second master Cheng.
Everyone else knew that Mr. Cheng was a tiger and he wanted to eat meat and drink blood; but Yun Qiao thought he was just a cat and a small dried fish could satisfy his appetite.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yucheng was a little funny.
Cheng Li seemed unaware and only asked Yun Qiao: "Has the banquet started yet?"
"Not yet, the guests haven't arrived yet." Yun Qiao said.
Cheng Li nodded: "There are many people coming today."
"Aunt Hao is so capable of answering hundreds of calls." The person who answered was Zhu Yucheng.
"I heard that the warlord's concubine loves to do good deeds." Cheng Lida said, "I have never seen her before."
"Many people have never seen her. She doesn't appear in newspapers, and she rarely socializes with her on weekdays." Zhu Yucheng said.
After smoking a cigarette, they seemed to have finished speaking, and the three of them walked back.
There happened to be a few empty seats at Zhu Yucheng's table, and there were only a few men sitting there. They were all in their fifties, wearing long robes, and looked like old-fashioned businessmen.
Of course, those who can appear at Aunt Hao's fund-raising dinner are all wealthy businessmen and well-known figures in Yancheng. Behind them is the pillar.
Behind the pillars hung with green velvet curtains, there were several men wearing black jackets vaguely hidden.
She planned to go to Aunt Qian, but Cheng Li pulled out the chair, with soft eyes, and motioned for Yun Qiao to sit down.
Yun Qiao glanced at Aunt Qian and found that Xu Yinjie was still there, still chattering and full of energy.
Her scalp was numb and she really didn't have the energy to deal with that guy, so she nodded immediately: "Thank you, second brother."
The men at the same table all glanced at Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao is too beautiful, and she is dressed up today. The emotions in these men's eyes are unpredictable.
However, they didn't talk to each other rashly because they regarded Yun Qiao as Cheng Li's female companion. And they probably all knew Cheng Li and Zhu Yucheng.
The other tables can seat at least twelve people, but this table is more spacious. Like the main table, it can only seat eight people.
"When will the second master return to Guangzhou?"
"What business has the young master done recently to make everyone rich?"
Both the Cheng and Zhu families have old men alive, but when others call Cheng Li, they call him "Cheng Erye" and treat him as an independent big shot; while when they call Zhu Yucheng, they call him "Zhu Dashao", and he is Zhu Longtou's vassal.
.
Zhu Yucheng seemed to be able to hear the difference. His smile did not reach his eyes, and his eyes behind the lenses were a bit cold.
He is unhappy.
Cheng Li always has a gentle attitude and is polite when talking to others.
Even if the other party spoke unkindly and secretly mocked him for being too close to the British, apparently he was a conscientious businessman, but in fact his conscience was sold to the British, Cheng Li was not annoyed.
He did not defend himself, but said: "People have a conscience, but not money. Whose money is not earned?"
He is extremely lenient.
Yun Qiao saw the corners of the mouths of the five old-style businessmen tightening in unison.
She didn't know why, she just felt that when Cheng Li said those words, they all felt a little pain.
Did Cheng Li make their money?
There was a fat and wealthy businessman who always glanced at Yun Qiao while he was talking. He probably liked beauty very much.
Cheng Li saw it, and while talking to Yun Qiao, he stretched out his arm and put it on the back of her chair. His fingers were only a little space away from her back, and they would touch her if they weren't paying attention.
Yun Qiao couldn't help but hold her breath.
When the fat businessman saw this, he turned away and stopped looking at Yun Qiao.
Cheng Li retracted his arm.
Yun Qiao slowly let out a breath, feeling extremely nervous.
It's strange, there is nothing to be nervous about!
