Du Gang looked at the time and said, "Master, it's time for the banquet."
Nangong Hehuan stood up and said, "Let's go down."
Chu Tianshu responded, and they went to the hall downstairs together.
Chu Tianshu hooked Nangong Hehuan's neck and whispered a few words into Nangong Hehuan's ear.
After hearing what Chu Tianshu said, Nangong Hehuan grinned and said, "Of course there is no problem."
In the lobby on the first floor, Zhao Yun already regarded Zhang Li as his female companion, and took Zhang Li everywhere to find people to chat with.
Although Zhang Li was a little unhappy, considering how much help she had just given, she was too embarrassed to refuse directly.
Zhao Yun had a proud expression on his face: "Miss Zhang, I have also collected some out-of-print fine wines. After the banquet is over soon, will you come back with me for a couple of drinks?"
How could Zhang Li not see that Zhao Yun had some dirty thoughts?
A forced smile appeared on her lips, but she didn't say anything.
Not far away, Qiao Shuqi looked on coldly, with an unkind look on his face.
Qiao Shiyuan was also unhappy, but she did not interfere.
She knew that her brother could not live under her protection forever, and she had to let him face it alone in order to grow faster.
At this time, the melodious music floating in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone subconsciously stopped talking.
Several people came down the stairs, led by Nangong Hehuan.
Chu Tianshu had already come down one step ahead of Nangong Hehuan and blended into the crowd.
He has passed the age of being pushy and doesn't want to be the center of attention.
Zhao Yun introduced to Zhang Li diligently: "Did you see that the person at the front is the organizer of tonight's banquet, Master Nangong?"
Zhang Li said a faint "hmm" and said nothing. She felt that Zhao Yun's introduction was too redundant. Anyone who was not a fool could guess that the leading and noble man was Nangong Hehuan.
The aristocratic aura he has cultivated since childhood cannot be imitated by ordinary people.
In Zhang Li's heart, the good impression she had for Zhao Yun because of Zhao Yun's help has been completely destroyed by Zhao Yun's current behavior.
As soon as Nangong Hehuan stepped up the stairs, everyone in the hall gathered around him, their eyes burning brighter than a hungry wolf seeing fat.
Those who stood outside the crowd and could not say hello to Nangong Hehuan, some even stood on tiptoes, showing off their usual arrogance.
Especially Zhao Yun, with his enthusiastic expression, as if he was a crazy fan who met his idol, and he was so arrogant that even Zhang Li despised him.
Although the people in the field surrounded Nangong Hehuan, no one dared to block Nangong Hehuan's way. Wherever Nangong Hehuan went, the crowd avoided him.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Nangong Hehuan walked straight to Zhang Li, smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand towards Zhang Li.
Zhang Li hurriedly put her jade hand on Nangong Hehuan's palm.
She was really surprised to the extreme. She had never even seen Nangong Hehuan before. She only came to the dinner through an indirect invitation. Nangong Hehuan was the first one to greet her on the stage?
Nangong Hehuan held Zhang Li's hand in a gentlemanly manner, then looked at the people around him and said in a clear voice: "This is my good friend Ms. Zhang Li. From now on, she and I will cooperate in various aspects of business.
I also hope that everyone here can help her when she needs it."
Hearing this, everyone in the venue whispered to each other and asked about Zhang Li's origins.
You know, people at Nangong Hehuan's level rarely support someone so firmly.
Nangong Hehuan The reason why Nangong Hehuan did this was naturally under the instruction of someone from Chu.
Both Qiao Shiyuan and Qiao Shuqi could guess that this was Chu Tianshu's arrangement.
Qiao Shiyuan held Chu Tianshu's arm with a smile on her face.
Qiao Shuqi said gratefully: "Brother-in-law, thank you."
Chu Tianshu patted Qiao Shuqi on the shoulder: "We are one family and don't talk about two families."
Not far away, Zhao Yun's expression suddenly condensed on his face. He felt that he had made a mistake. He did not expect that Nangong Hehuan would value Zhang Li so much. He began to regret taking the credit from Zhang Li.
If Nangong Hehuan knew what he had done...
Zhao Yun didn't dare to think about it any more, sweat dripped down his forehead, and he felt a little restless.
Zhang Li glanced at the unnatural Zhao Yun subconsciously, and couldn't help but start to wonder, with Zhao Yun's reputation, could he really win such a great honor for himself?
Just now, she followed Zhao Yun to chat with the celebrities present, and she clearly felt that Zhao Yun's status in the upper-class circle in the southern border was actually not high. He should have barely entered this circle and was a marginal figure. Many celebrities even had a crush on him.
In a nonchalant manner.
As soon as Zhang Li was about to ask Nangong Hehuan, many people gathered around to greet her. Nangong Hehuan helped her introduce the identities of those people one by one.
Compared with before, everyone's attitude was completely different.
Naturally, Zhang Li couldn't waste such a precious opportunity, so she behaved appropriately and greeted the celebrities one by one.
After finally getting to know all the main people at the banquet, Zhang Li hurriedly asked: "Master Nangong, why did you invite me to the banquet?"
"Well..."
Nangong Hehuan was a little hesitant. He knew that since Chu Tianshu kept it secret from Zhang Li, there must be a reason. He didn't want to dismantle Chu Tianshu.
Zhang Li stared at Nangong Hehuan with burning eyes, an expression that said she would not give up until she got an answer.
Nangong Hehuan finally smiled bitterly and said, "Today's banquet is specially held for you."
After saying that, he added: "It's held for you and Qiao Shuqi."
Zhang Li asked: "Why does Master Nangong have to work so hard for us?"
Nangong Hehuan knew that if Zhang Li was not told the truth about the matter, this woman would probably continue to ask questions persistently.
He shrugged and said, "Maybe you should ask Mr. Chu."
"Master Chu?"
Zhang Li cast her eyes in the direction of Chu Tianshu and murmured to herself: "I should have thought it was them."
She asked curiously: "Master Nangong, who is that Young Master Chu?"
Nangong Hehuan smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be more direct for you to ask your boyfriend about this question?"
Zhang Li's heart moved: "The trouble we had at Nandu University today was also solved by you, right?"
Nangong Hehuan smiled and said: "It's just a matter of effort, don't worry about it."
Zhang Li bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Nangong, for everything you have done for us."
Nangong Hehuan waved his hand and said: "No need to thank me. If it weren't for Chu Tianshu, I would have died many years ago. There is no need to say this about the life-long friendship between me and him."
Seeing Zhang Li whispering to Nangong Hehuan, many women in the room showed envy and jealousy.
At this time, Du Gang walked to Nangong Hehuan and whispered a few words in Nangong Hehuan's ear.
Nangong Hehuan squinted at Zhao Yun who was not far away, and asked: "Is Miss Zhang familiar with him?"
A flash of contempt flashed in Zhang Li's eyes: "If you don't know me well, he is just a shameless liar."
