Chapter 155 The dance begins

While Lu Mingfei was being reviewed by his (fake) father-in-law, Su Enxi was also dealing with the bosses who came up to him to flatter him.

Although no one would have any thoughts about them, as shareholders of the Black Prince Group, how could they miss such a good opportunity to get to know them?

Jiude Mai had long since become a hands-off boss, patting her butt and hiding in a corner drinking champagne.

As the finance minister of the trio, Su Enxi was not in a position to do such things that would damage her image as a businessman. She pretended to smile elegantly while accepting business cards that she would never use. Who knows why so many people were invited to such a small dinner party?

Until the middle-aged men in black suits around her retreated temporarily, Su Enxi thought that she had finally collected all the business cards from everyone present.

When I looked up, I found that it was Jiude Mai who was walking back with a wine glass in hand. The cold aura of "don't bother me if you are not worthy" temporarily discouraged the people who were about to surround her.

Su Enxi was touched that Jiude Mai would come back to help her out, but Jiude Mai said coldly: "Don't think too much, I just ran out of wine and came back to refill it."

"Can't we just grab a waiter and order more wine?" Su Enxi put her hands on her hips and smiled sweetly, "Being a tsundere doesn't fit your personality, Mai."

Jiude Mai didn't bother to pay attention to the potato chip girl, and took a bottle of champagne from the tray of a waiter passing by and filled her own glass. Su Enxi smiled and brought the empty glass over, Jiude Mai rolled her eyes at her and refilled her glass.

"Drink less." Jiude Mai said. She knew that Potato Chip Girl was addicted to alcohol and once she started drinking, she could not stop.

"I know." Su Enxi smiled and took back the full glass. She pointed to the distance and said, "By the way, what happened over there? Why are there so many people around?"

Jiude Mai glanced back and said, "I don't know."

"Why don't we join in the fun and see what's going on?"

Jiude Mai was about to refuse, but Su Enxi took her arm without saying anything.

"Don't pull me like that. My ankle is going to be sprained."

After walking only two steps, the two saw that the person surrounded by the crowd was Lu Mingfei. Next to Lu Mingfei stood a pretty girl with a nervous look on her face, and opposite him was Su Zhenqi, the chairman of Su Energy who had just come on stage with them.

"Is this your Chinese tradition of meeting the parents?" Jiude Mai asked in a low voice.

"Probably?" Su Enxi carefully looked at the pretty girl next to Lu Mingfei, "Hey, isn't it Liu Miaomiao? Is it someone else?"

"That's Su Xiaoqiang, the daughter of your Su family. Su Zhenqi is her father."

During the time she was stationed in this city, Jiude Mai was not really idle every day. At least she understood the interpersonal relationships around Lu Mingfei faster than Su Enxi, who was a logistics staff.

"Not bad, not bad. Our Su family's daughter is indeed prettier than Liu Miaomiao. Lu Mingfei has good taste." Su Enxi showed approval. "As the man's family, should we go and support him?"

Jiude Mai knew this girl's true nature. She didn't go there with the intention of supporting the party. She probably just wanted to join in the fun and make the situation even more muddy.

However, she did not object to Su Enxi's suggestion to help Lu Mingfei.

……

Su Zhenqi calmed himself down a little and came back to his senses from his brief loss.

It's just a title, and you'll have to accept it sooner or later.

Su Zhenqi comforted himself in his heart.

"Then classmate Lu should have very good grades in school, right?" Su Zhenqi asked.

"Not as good as Qiangqiang's." Lu Mingfei replied with a smile, "I was in the top 100 in the last exam."

I didn't say the exact ranking, I just gave a general one. The main reason is that 69th is a mediocre ranking, and if I say it out loud, it will give people the impression that I am not good enough but want to show off.

"The top 100." Su Zhenqi nodded after thinking carefully.

It’s not a particularly high ranking, but being in the top 100 in the grade at Shilan Middle School is almost a score that can get you into a 985 university.

"Can I ask about your family situation?"

Su Zhenqi used his acting skills, which he had honed over decades in the business world, to try to put on a kind and gentle smile like an elder: "Uncle wants to get to know your situation carefully."

Su Xiaoqiang's heart tightened, knowing that the most important question of the night had come.

I don't know if this guy can answer well...

No, no, no! This guy is just pretending. What does it matter if he gives a wrong answer? Why should I be so nervous?
Lu Mingfei had already memorized the character that the little goddess had arranged for him. In fact, he didn't need to memorize it at all, because the settings were very similar to the real situation.

"Nothing, uncle, what do you want to ask?"

Su Zhenqi nodded: "What are the occupations of Lu's parents?"

“My father and mother both work in archaeology-related fields.”

"Oh? Your parents are archaeologists?"

"Yes."

“Are you working in the country?”

“No, my parents are international archaeologists, so the main projects they participate in are abroad, and they fly all over the world every year.” Lu Mingfei answered fluently.

My parents are not in business, so their financial situation is a little different from mine.

But for an educated family, it can be considered just barely acceptable.

It's no wonder that this kid has many foreign habits in his behavior. If his parents are international archaeologists, many of his habits should be influenced by them.

Although Su Zhenqi has a good impression of intellectuals, the huge difference in family background can easily lead to an unhappy marriage.

When he was in school, he had met many couples with different family backgrounds. Although they were carefree and affectionate when they were in school, after entering society, the gap in family background would eventually make them drift apart.

Su Zhenqi looked at his daughter's nervous posture and felt that his daughter should really like this boy. If this boy was a good businessman, he would give him his huge family business. After all, he only had this one daughter, and as long as she lived a happy life, that was enough.

But children from highly educated families all have one problem: they are often not interested in business.

Su Zhenqi felt a little regretful.

When they heard Lu Mingfei say that his parents were just archaeologists, many of the rich second-generations who were watching nearby couldn't help but feel happy.

Originally, they all thought that Lu Mingfei was a returned overseas nobleman, but it turned out that he was from an intellectual family, and his family conditions were probably middle class. These second-generation rich people instantly felt that they were successful again.

Even his back straightened slightly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Mingfei was no longer timid, but more hungry like a jackal. Although Lu Mingfei's family situation was not acceptable to Su Zhenqi, he did not make a conclusion too early. He planned to observe Lu Mingfei for a while and give him a chance.

What if this kid gets the hang of doing business?

Just as he was about to say out loud the words of encouragement that had been brewing in his mind for a long time, there was a sudden silence beside him, and then the pleasant sound of high heels stepping on the solid wood floor was heard.

Su Zhenqi looked seriously and saw that it was the two beautiful shareholders of the Black Prince Group who were walking towards them. The crowd automatically made way for the two of them. Their beauty seemed to oppress the air, and the people around them immediately fell silent and stopped talking, just appreciating their beauty.

Su Zhenqi was stunned, not knowing why these two people came over suddenly. Could it be that they wanted to see him for something? But backstage, he had already exchanged business cards with them.

And logically speaking, there is no business overlap between the Black Prince Group and Su Energy.

Under the stunned and heated gazes of the crowd, Su Enxi stopped in front of Lu Mingfei and reached out to clink glasses with him.

"Long time no see, Mr. Lu." Su Enxi tilted her head, smiled lightly, and blinked playfully like a young girl.

This beautiful shareholder of the Black Prince Group has maintained the strong and confident aura of a business queen since she entered the market. She has never acted like a little woman like this before.

Everyone was stunned when they saw an even more horrifying scene appear.

The long-legged beauty who had always exuded an inexplicable aura that made people afraid to approach her actually took the initiative to clink glasses with Lu Mingfei.

At the moment when the rim of the cup touched, a smile of implicit joy suddenly appeared on that stunningly beautiful face. Her pretty eyes and eyebrows, as beautiful as crescent moon, were as bright as stars, as if the spring breeze melted the snow, making people wonder that under the ice and snow there was such a charming and lovely snow lotus.

"It's been a while since we last met." Jiude Mai smiled cutely. "Thanks for your care these days, little brother from the Lu family."

The fragrance filled his air for a moment, and in a trance, Lu Mingfei felt as if he saw the lively girl in the Arab robe at the auction again.

It is hard to imagine that this girl can switch between so many styles seamlessly, and each style is like her true personality. Each style has a stunning beauty.

No longer the cold "Mr. Lu", but the intimate "Young Master Lu". Jiude Mai's title can be said to have brought Lu Mingfei and them closer.

Not only were the people present stunned, but even Lu Mingfei stood there in a daze, not knowing what the two were talking about.

"Are you two familiar with this student Lu?"

Su Zhenqi immediately responded from his brief daze and was the first to break the silence.

Su Enxi nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to the care of Mr. Guolu's parents, I think we are old friends with his family, right?"

As she spoke, she turned to Lu Mingfei and said, "By the way, Mr. Lu, the dance for the dinner party will start soon. We two haven't found a suitable dance partner yet. I wonder if you can do me a favor and choose one of us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiude Mai beside him also blinked and smiled playfully: "Of course, if Master Lu wants all of them, it's not impossible."

Lu Mingfei had almost figured out the situation by now. They probably saw what happened here, so the two of them came here to perform such a scene.

Although I don't know why he would come to help me...

Maybe it was because I saved Jiude Mai not long ago, and she brought Su Enxi along to repay me for the favor?
But the dance partner...

Lu Mingfei turned his head and glanced at the little goddess beside him. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoqiang was also looking at him with her lips pursed. As soon as their eyes met in the air, Su Xiaoqiang immediately withdrew his gaze as if he was timid and turned to stare at a piece of floor on the ground.

This girl, is it necessary to be so nervous?

Lu Mingfei smiled and nodded apologetically to Su Enxi and Jiude Mai.

"Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately I have already made an appointment with Miss Su to be each other's dance partner later."

"it's a pity."

Su Enxi shrugged slightly with regret, and then a mysterious smile appeared on her face, "But did you forget something, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Mingfei was startled: "What's the matter?"

"My last name is also Su."

As soon as Su Enxi's clear voice fell, she and Jiude Mai walked away like the wind, her beautiful back swaying gently. She came suddenly and left suddenly.

When they came, they silenced the surroundings with their breathtaking beauty. Now that they have left, everyone is still in silence.

The mood of the people around at this moment can no longer be described as simple "surprise" or "stunned", but a mixture of emotions.

It's like you see a country bumpkin on the street, dressed in rustic clothes and looking dull, you don't care about him and even look down on him. But he turns out to be Tolui's sworn brother, Genghis Khan's consort, his confidante is Huang Rong, and his master is Hong Qigong, one of the Five Great Masters. The Ferghana horse under his seat alone can buy an entire street.

You think their parents are just ordinary cultural relics diggers, but the major shareholder behind the Black Prince Group has to give him three pieces of face. The long-legged beauty who is cold to others smiles in front of him with sincerity.

The little hands that no one else could touch took the initiative to reach out to Lu Mingfei and invite him to dance, and even said that they would like to live together forever. However, Lu Mingfei rejected such an invitation from two beautiful and wealthy women without batting an eyelid.

Otherwise, how could she be with Su Xiaoqiang? Not only was she surrounded by beautiful girls, but she also only drank from one of the three thousand rivers.

Even Su Zhenqi was shocked and couldn't help but re-evaluate Lu Mingfei's family background.

Are archaeologists so awesome now?

A sharp bell suddenly sounded. The lights in the venue dimmed again. Before Lu Mingfei realized what was happening, the elegant violin music began to flow in the hall. It turned out that it was time for the dance.

It is not until this moment that tonight's dinner party truly begins.

This Tango-style dance music was like a key that awakened the eager hearts of the young men and women present.

The shiny black leather shoes and all kinds of gorgeous high-heeled dance shoes finally came close and overlapped at this moment. People who had made appointments with partners in advance had already slid into the center of the dance floor, and those who did not have appointments also found temporary partners on the sidelines.

The skirt fluttered and fell, and the solid wood floor that had been carefully maintained with wax oil recalled the rhythmic drum beats.

Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang beside him. The little goddess took a step back and said timidly: "I, I didn't agree to dance with you!"

In the darkness, her face was slightly red.

Lu Mingfei shrugged: "Then are you going to jump or not?"

Su Xiaoqiang pursed his lips, and suddenly straightened his chest proudly as if he was going to sacrifice himself:
"Just jump, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
