After the cannon fodder mission was completed, the younger male protagonist went crazy

She has a pretty face and a temperament as gentle as clear water.

Chen Xingzhu paused for a moment, then he walked forward calmly with a perfect smile on his face, polite and restrained, "Qingli, Master Zhong."

Zhong Yisi generously extended his right hand, "Hello, Mr. Chen."

Chen Xingzhu raised her hand and shook it back, "Just call me Xingzhu."

Beside him, Zhong Qingli smiled softly, "Xingzhu, long time no see."

Chen Xingzhu curled her lips and smiled, "Yes, long time no see."

A man and a woman looked at each other, and Qiao Wenzhou couldn't help but gently pulled Chen Xingzhu's sleeve.

Chen Xingzhu paused with a smile and pointed inside, "Then shall we go in first?"

Zhong Qingli nodded slowly and gestured with his hand, "Please come in."

Zhong Yisi, who was standing next to him, said to Qiao Wenzhou, "You go in first, I'll come find you later."

Qiao Wenzhou responded politely: "Well, then Master Zhong, let's go in first."

Master Zhong smiled brightly, "Yeah, come on in!"

After coming in, Chen Xingzhu let out a long breath and stopped working with his toes.

Even though he seemed calm just now, he was actually screaming in his heart, okay?

He was almost forcing himself to say hello, and it was already very polite of him not to turn into a groundhog on the spot.

After confirming that the person was outside and could not come in for the time being, Chen Xingzhu slowly relaxed.

Since Zhong Qingli was sent to welcome the guests, he would not be able to meet the other party again at least before the banquet officially started.

Chen Xingzhu immediately realized: What a good opportunity!

Taking advantage of this time, he can quickly take Qiao Wenzhou to familiarize himself with the scene and reduce his fear.

If the effect is good, Qiao Wenzhou will be able to move around on his own.

If he were alone, he could act according to circumstances.

If he was lucky, he could avoid Zhong Qingli for the entire banquet.

Then at the end of the banquet, he took Qiao Wenzhou away quickly.

This plan is perfect!

Chen Xingzhu immediately took Qiao Wenzhou for a stroll and deliberately avoided the crowd.

"There's food over there. If you're hungry, you can go over there and fill your stomach."

"There's a rest room in the back. You can go there and rest if you're tired."

Chen Xingzhu explained everything in detail, and Qiao Wenzhou responded from time to time.

"That's the Zhong family's private area. It's best not to go there."

"See? That's the bathroom..."

Because they didn't go to crowded places, Chen Xingzhu thought he was quite low-key, but in fact, the two of them were wandering around and had already been noticed by others.

In the crowd, Chen A'man, wearing a black tight dress with a slit to the thigh, turned her eyes away from Chen Xingzhu.

There were men and women around her, all of whom looked young.

"Hey, A'man, is that your second brother?" The speaker was a boy with red hair on his head.

Chen A-man squinted at the red-haired man and said, "Yeah, why, do you like it?"

The red-haired man rubbed his chin with his hand, his eyes staring straight at that place, "He is so handsome..." His interest could not be more obvious.

Today, Chen Xingzhu is wearing a neat smoky gray suit, the well-tailored suit perfectly outlines the curves of her body.

She is not overly dressed up, but her innate nobility and reserve are fully reflected in her. Her already beautiful face is even more eye-catching with simple decoration.

In particular, Chen Xingzhu seems to be in a good mood now, and the smile on the corners of her mouth is like a garland of flowers.

Is she pretty? Chen Aman looked at Chen Xingzhu not far away. Yes, she is indeed pretty.

But... a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, "If you continue to stare at him like this, I'm not sure if you can walk out of the Zhong family upright later."

The red-haired man immediately retracted his gaze and said jokingly, "No way, you can't even look at it?"

Chen A-man looked at her newly done nails with her palms facing inwards. "I can admire them, but coveting them..."

She smiled and said, "If you have the guts, you can." The protective tone in her words was obvious.

The red-haired man smiled and begged for mercy, "I'm timid, don't scare me, Sister Aman."

Chen Aman smiled wryly, "Since you call me sister, don't do anything that makes me unhappy."

The red-haired man quickly responded, "That's right, I made a mistake once, don't you know it now?"

Taking this opportunity, Chen Aman glanced around and said, "You all know that I tend to protect my shortcomings."

Since Chen A'man squinted his eyes and looked a little strange, the others who didn't dare to interrupt him all agreed, "Yes, yes, yes."

After giving the hammer, Chen Aman began to distribute sweet dates, "Since we have all decided to start working together, then... we will be a family in the future..."

On the other side, Chen Xingzhu of course didn't know what was going on over there. He took Qiao Wenzhou to find a corner and sit down.

"It's called a banquet, but it's actually all about profit..." Chen Xingzhu signaled with her eyes, "See that side, that side, and that side?"

Not far away, several groups of people were occupying different places.

"Many people come here to discuss business, and of course some come here to expand their network..." Chen Xingzhu explained slowly, "Those who really come here to attend the banquet and don't want to get entangled with other people usually come a little bit before the banquet starts."

"They come here early only because they have a purpose or are simply bored." After a pause, Chen Xingzhu added, "But it's not absolute. You will understand it slowly in the future."

Chen Xingzhu stopped talking as his mouth became dry.

Just as he was about to get up, a glass of water was suddenly handed to him.

It was Qiao Wenzhou. He smiled and said, "Hurry up and drink something. I think your throat is about to smoke."

Chen Xingzhu took the cup of water and sipped it gently to moisten his throat, with an elegant and casual posture.

After feeling more comfortable, Chen Xingzhu placed the water cup on the small table and asked, "When did you get the water? I didn't even notice it."

Qiao Wenzhou explained, "When you babble ten sentences."

Chen Xingzhu raised an eyebrow, "So early?"

Qiao Wenzhou raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Hmm~"

Looking at the other person's raised eyebrows and vivid expression, Chen Xingzhu asked: "How is it? Are you not scared now?"

A warm current suddenly surged into his heart, and Qiao Wenzhou smiled brightly, "Well, I'm not afraid anymore."

"Okay." Chen Xingzhu felt relieved.

"Yeah." Qiao Wenzhou squinted his eyes and smiled sweetly.

Anyone could see that he was very happy.

Just like a child getting delicious candy, Chen Xingzhu felt a little amused, "Do you think it's fun to attend the party?"

"Yeah." Qiao Wenzhou nodded with the corner of his mouth raised.

Chen Xingzhu nodded and said casually: "Okay, I'll take you to participate more often in the future."

"Hmm!" Stars flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised a little higher.

In order to avoid being disturbed by irrelevant people, Chen Xingzhu sat in the corner.

After a while, Chen Xingzhu suddenly realized that Qiao Wenzhou didn't need to sit here and die with him.

"There's still some time before the party starts, so you can walk around."

Qiao Wenzhou shook his head, looking somewhat reluctant, "I don't want to go."

Hmm? Chen Xingzhu was surprised: "Don't you think the banquet is fun? What's so fun about sitting here?"

Qiao Wenzhou said, "I want to accompany you."

Chen Xingzhu smiled and said, "What can I do for you?"

I'm not a lonely old man. He waved his hand and said, "I don't need your company. Go and have fun."

Qiao Wenzhou still sat there, "I don't want to go."

Chen Xingzhu: “…” Why did this child start to rebel?

He shrugged, "Fine, whatever you want."

Qiao Wenzhou sat steadily, "Yeah."

Chen Xingzhu scratched his head. Is this guy in a bad mood?

He stared at it carefully, and it seemed... it was gone again?

Well, maybe I'm overthinking it.

Chen Xingzhu withdrew his gaze.

Chen Xingzhu sat there like this for nearly ten minutes, with his chin supported by one hand.

With his cheek flesh piled in his palms, Chen Xingzhu looked around boredly.

But there are only a few people around, so boring.

Glancing at the side again, Chen Xingzhu confirmed: "Are you really going to stay with me like this?"

Seeing the eagerness in the other person's eyes, Qiao Wenzhou still gave the same answer, "Yeah."

With the corners of his mouth raised quickly, Chen Xingzhu suggested excitedly: "Then how about we play poker?"

Qiao Wenzhou had no objection, "Sure, but playing cards?"

Could it be that when he went out, Mr. Chen secretly packed a deck of playing cards without his knowledge?
