Next, cold boss

In the quiet night, the electric wave is like the tide, and the sound is like a boat on the water, which is gently pushed to Guan Chu's ear - the sound of wisdom teeth swaying into Guan Chu's eardrum on the phone loudspeaker: "I am very disciplined, and I have never Listen to you quietly again."

Guan Chu pursed his lips, but did not answer.

The voice of wisdom teeth continued to enter the ear: "I miss your voice very much."

Guan Chu raised his eyes, opened the curtains, and looked at the brightly lit apartment opposite, as if he was certain that someone lived there.

The voice of the wisdom tooth continued in my ears: "You should take pity on me, open your mouth, and let me hear your voice...even if it's just a word, okay?"

He begged, as pitiful and humble as a little match girl, like if he couldn't hear Guan Chu's voice, he would immediately fall into a frenzied fantasy and die in the ice and snow.

And what about Guan Chu?

Guan Chu was as indifferent as those passers-by in fairy tales, hung up the phone without saying a word, and closed the curtains again.

He turned on the desk lamp and flipped through the documents.

These materials cover a brief introduction of the people who may be present at the palace banquet, as well as some information related to the inner court.This is very rare for outsiders.As a "civilian", Guan Chu participated in a palace banquet for the first time, so he naturally had to learn a lot, otherwise he would inevitably make mistakes and make a fool of himself.

Guan's father and Guan's mother knew that he was going to a palace banquet, and they were also very nervous, so they greeted the elders of the clan.Knowing that Guan Chu is now "promising" again, the elders are willing to take care of him, not only collected this information for him, but also invited an old man who has worked in the inner court for many years to give him advice.

Speaking of which, the current royal family pays attention to being "close to the people", "civilized", and "people-oriented", and no longer puts on the stinky airs of the feudal dynasty-although the arrogance and control in the bones will not change.

However, Guan Chu also saved a lot of the trouble of learning "court etiquette". At least now, he doesn't have to kneel when he sees the royal family, and he doesn't need to speak polite mandarin.

The inhumane eunuch system has long been abolished, and people like Zeng Yan who serve in the inner court can not only be "complete men", but also "standing people".They are no longer "slaves" in the traditional sense, and their relationship with "masters" is more like superiors and subordinates.Therefore, Zeng Yan, as a servant, is qualified to attend the banquet hosted by the princess with his companions.

Zeng Yan also had a part in the planning of the Crown Princess's banquet, so he was too busy on the day of the banquet to pick up Guan Chu in person, so he sent someone to pick him up first and enter the East Palace.

When Guan Chu arrived at the banquet venue, he saw Zeng Yan.

Seeing that Guan Chu had come, Zeng Yan had no time to greet him, so he just said, "The Crown Princess doesn't like being called the Crown Princess. When you see him, you should call him 'Dr. Yi'." I'm busy with other things.

It was inevitable that Guan Chu would feel a little embarrassed when he was left alone.Although it wasn't the first time he attended a banquet, it was the first time he attended a banquet of this size.In the past, as the son of the Guan family or the president of the group, he would not be ignored when he went to any banquet.However, at court banquets, his status seemed too insignificant.

Guan Chu found a seat and sat down slowly, but saw a few people walking towards the two people in brocade clothes, surrounded by two people, saying compliments.Guan Chu's "homework" was not in vain, and he immediately recognized who these two people in brocade clothes were - one was Liu Shangyi from the inner court, who was in charge of royal clothes and jewelry in the palace. .For example, the supply of sky black paint that everyone is flocking to is in her hands.Just eating the "offering" of the channel business every year is enough for others to live for a lifetime.

The other belonged to Guan Tongshi, who was Zengyan's clan brother.

When Liu Shangyi saw Guan Chu, he smiled before saying anything, looked at Guan Chu carefully, and then said to Tong Shi: "This is Zeng Yan who has been selected from thousands of people? He is indeed a good-looking talent."

Tong Shi also smiled and said, "Really? Zeng Yan never told me, I don't know."

Zeng Yan didn't talk to Tong Shi, maybe it's normal, because according to the data, although Zeng Yan and this brother Tong Shi are relatives, they have a very bad relationship.

And the relationship between Liu Shangyi and Zeng Yan is not much better.

It can be said that... is the enemy.

Guan Chu didn't expect that these people in the inner court would directly be eccentric. He thought that educated adults with status would be decent in such occasions.

Liu Shangyi recruited a few more people, surrounded Guan Chu, and talked with a smile on his face. On the surface, he was indeed very friendly and decent, but there were hidden needles in his words, for example, he would ask "inadvertently": "What do you do now?"

Guan Chu could only answer: "I am now the executive president of 'Juejiang Pharmaceutical'."

The people who heard it didn't know whether they were really shocked or fake, and there was a burst of disbelief on their faces, as if they were whispering, "Why is it a merchant".Just like in the old days, "scholars, peasants, businessmen" and merchants are the most inferior. Attending palace banquets with them will dirty their floors.

Liu Shangyi also pretended to be surprised: "Ah? It is said that you are also a son of a family, how could you go into the sea?"

The word "Going to the sea" is also used very interestingly. Those who don't know it think that Guan Chu has made some decision against his ancestors.

Guan Chu didn't know how to deal with such gossip skillfully, but he would not be embarrassed by it, nor would he be annoyed and sad. He just said indifferently: "Because of the needs of career planning and development."

Liu Shangyi didn't expect Guan Chu to react like this, and was taken aback for a moment.

Brother Tong Shi was beating on the side drum: "In fact, Guan Chu and Zeng Yan are also very compatible, they are both apathy patients."

Hearing this, the bystanders gasped again, as if they had heard some terrible news.But they were all embarrassed, and they all made excuses to walk away, and then began to spread the word in whispers: Zeng Yan actually found a cold syndrome for doing business in the sea!

"No way? Although Zeng Yan is apathetic, with his status, character and appearance, it is not difficult to find a decent and fertile nobleman OMEGA? How did you choose such a...unexplainable one?"

But for a while, Guan Chu, the "invisible man" sitting in the corner, was labeled as a "focus card". No one talked to him, but they all talked about him.

Guan Chu was still sitting very leisurely, indifferently, without feeling embarrassed.

After a while, Zeng Yan finally finished his work, so he came to Guan Chu and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see Dr. Yi."

Guan Chu still remembered that Zeng Yan said that the Crown Princess didn't like being called the Crown Princess, and if she wanted to be called Dr. Yi, the elders of the clan also pointed out this point.

Guan Chu also looked through Dr. Yi's information, and found that Dr. Yi came from the same family as the senior Yi who failed to differentiate.This is actually not surprising, the Yi family is a descendant family, and those with the surname Yi in the inner court are basically members of their clan.However, the relationship between Dr. Yi and Senior Yi is indeed very close, they are brothers of the same father and mother.

Some people even said that if Xuechang Yi hadn't failed in the division, the crown princess should belong to him.

Guan Chu and Zeng Yan walked hand in hand, and the eyes of others were more focused on this side, as if they were adding fuel to their gossip.In just a few ten minutes, the story of "the rich businessman Guan Chu spent a billion dowry to impress Zeng Yan in order to become a celebrity" has evolved.

Although Guan Chu was cold, but not slow, he could still feel these strange things, so he said to Zeng Yan: "Just now Liu Shangyi and Zeng Tongshi talked to me, and then everyone started talking about you and me."

Zeng Yan seemed not surprised at all, and just nodded.

Guan Chu didn't speak anymore.

Zeng Yan glanced at him and said, "You don't expect me to stand up for you, do you?"

From Zeng Yan's words, Guan Chu tasted a hint of superiority, which made Guan Chu uncomfortable.To say that other people ridiculed him was fine, they were all people who had nothing to do with him.But Zeng Yan wants to be his partner in the future, so he can't be allowed to develop such an overbearing atmosphere.So Guan Chu raised his eyebrows: "Stand up for me? Do you have such a big head?"

Zeng Yan was choked up and didn't reply.

Zeng Yan silently brought Guan Chu to the dance floor.

But there was no one dancing in the middle of the dance floor, and they all formed a circle, where there was an archery target, and Dr. Yi was holding a dart, playing a target shooting game there.But seeing that he has beautiful eyebrows and handsome eyes, red lips and white teeth, he is a beauty that can't be more standard.

Guan Chu suddenly thought that others said that Senior Yi was ten times more beautiful than Dr. Yi... Then what kind of beauty should Senior Yi be?

However, maybe the rumors are exaggerated?

"I got it! I got it!" Everyone enthusiastically cheered for Dr. Yi.

Dr. Yi saw Zeng Yan coming out of the crowd, and smiled at Zeng Yan: "You are well, you can play too."

Zeng Yan said: "You know I don't know how to do this...but..." Zeng Yan pulled Guan Chu over and said, "This is the Guan Chu I mentioned to you. He has better accuracy than me, let him come."

"Really?" Dr. Yi looked at Guan Chu, handed the dart over with a smile, and said, "Then you come."

Guan Chu bowed slightly to Dr. Yi, greeted him briefly, and took the darts.

Now everyone in this circle knows about Guan Chu, and they are all laughing.

Guan Chu didn't say anything, picked up the dart, and swished it at the target.

He flew out nine shots in a row, and they hit nine out of nine shots, each of which hit the red heart.

Everyone was very surprised when they saw it.

But when Guan Chu was about to throw the tenth shot, Liu Shangyi who was standing beside him said with a smile: "If this hits, it will break Dr. Yi's record tonight!"

These words are really interesting.

If Guan Chu was hit by this shot, he would have surpassed the Crown Princess. If he missed after listening to Liu Shangyi's words, he would be suspected of letting the water on purpose, no matter what, he should offend someone.

Everyone also looked like they were watching the fun, smiling and waiting to see Guan Chu get into trouble.

Zeng Yan still stood beside him indifferently, with an attitude of "don't expect me to stand up for you".

Guan Chu naturally also had the consciousness of "How can I count on you, do you have such a big head?"

Zeng Yan must be in the same position as Liu Shangyi, otherwise, Liu Shangyi would not dare to ridicule Guan Chu like this.

Guan Chu was already thinking about it, so he twisted the flying dart and sent it out gently...
