Chapter 163: Xiao Longchen and Lin Xiaowei

After showing off in front of the two security guards and making them realize their mistake, Xiao Longchen felt great.

Since returning to the country, he hadn’t felt this good in a long time.

For the rest of the afternoon, with Xu Dafu’s introduction, Xiao Longchen got a general understanding of the company’s situation.

However, Xiao Longchen wasn’t very knowledgeable about business, so most of the company’s affairs still fell to Xu Dafu.

As evening approached.

Learning that there was a business banquet tonight, and that the Lin family would attend, Xiao Longchen decided to go with Xu Dafu.

In the car.

Seeing Xiao Longchen in casual clothes, Xu Dafu couldn’t help but suggest.

“Boss, should we buy some clothes first?”

“Why?” Xiao Longchen was puzzled.

“Well… boss, everyone at this business banquet is rich or powerful. Dressed like this, you might be looked down upon…”

“It’s fine!”

Hearing Xu Dafu’s concern, Xiao Longchen waved his hand.

“Judging people by their appearance is shallow. If someone looks down on me because I’m not dressed luxuriously, they’re not worth cooperating with!”

Saying this, Xiao Longchen added.

“Don’t worry. Once we’re at the banquet, just follow your original plan and don’t stick by my side.”

“This…”

“Just do as I say!”

“…Alright.”

Seeing Xiao Longchen so insistent, Xu Dafu agreed.

He thought, maybe powerful people liked to be unique and had peculiar tastes!

Soon, they arrived at the hotel hosting the business banquet.

This time, with Xu Dafu accompanying him, Xiao Longchen wasn’t stopped by the hotel security guards who didn’t like his look.

Entering the hotel lobby.

Following Xiao Longchen’s instructions, Xu Dafu left his side to discuss business with partners.

Left alone, Xiao Longchen found the guests’ pretentious flattery boring.

Seeing the tables of food and realizing he hadn’t eaten dinner, he decided to grab a bite.

Though he was a grandmaster and could withstand hunger, there was still time before the seminar started, so why not kill time by eating?

He only cared about Lin Xiaowei; the others weren’t worth his attention.

As Xiao Longchen sat alone enjoying the food.

More guests filled the hotel lobby.

Naturally, Xiao Longchen, dressed casually and loudly eating cake with his legs crossed, attracted much attention.

The sound of “smacking” was too loud to ignore.

Seeing Xiao Longchen eating without a care, everyone looked at him strangely and whispered.

“The banquet hasn’t started, and he’s been eating non-stop… looks like a starving ghost.”

“Probably brought in to see the world? No one’s watching him?”

“Such rude table manners!”

The guests tacitly moved away from Xiao Longchen.

Seeing a circle clear around him, Xiao Longchen didn’t care.

In his view, eating heartily wasn’t embarrassing; even martial artists needed food.

But they, for so-called decorum, restrained their desires, holding a glass and sipping pretentiously. That was true nonsense!

Face was earned by strength, not pretense!

But Xiao Longchen couldn’t be bothered to explain.

After finishing another plate of cake.

Looking up casually, Xiao Longchen saw a familiar face.

He called out.

“Yuqi?”

Everyone followed his gaze to a well-dressed girl.

It was He Mingcheng’s daughter, He Yuqi.

“Yuqi, is he your friend?”

Her companion asked curiously.

“…”

He Yuqi remained silent.

Was he, or wasn’t he? She didn’t know how to answer.

Before the sports event incident, she would’ve been thrilled to hear Xiao Longchen call out to her.

She might have even ignored everyone’s strange looks and enthusiastically joined him.

But Xiao Longchen’s public accident shattered all her illusions, leaving her without the courage to ignore everything.

Seeing Xiao Longchen call out to her loudly, she felt embarrassed.

But she couldn’t pretend not to hear.

She had approached Xiao Longchen, and after he called her “He Yuqi,” she even asked him to call her “Yuqi” instead!

So regretful!

Thinking it over, after a moment’s hesitation, He Yuqi could only nod slightly at Xiao Longchen, then quickly pull her companions away, pretending to look for her father.

“Don’t misunderstand, I only know him from school. We’re not close!”

He Yuqi whispered to her companions.

Still eating, Xiao Longchen found it odd that He Yuqi just nodded and left hurriedly.

At school, she always found chances to talk to him.

She couldn’t be shy about others’ views; she had given him water in his security uniform in front of classmates.

“Could it be… she’s too shy to see me looking so good?”

Xiao Longchen concluded.

Though he had no interest in He Yuqi, he still sensed her admiration.

In their past meetings, he had always worn his security uniform, but tonight he was in casual clothes, even grooming his hair. Maybe He Yuqi was shy because he looked too good?

Forcing himself to forget the public accident, he naturally ignored He Yuqi knowing about it.

“Sigh, my damn charm!”

Xiao Longchen lamented. His heart belonged to his childhood friend, Weiwei.

Seems S City would have another heartbroken girl!

As Xiao Longchen fantasized how to reject He Yuqi if she confessed tonight.

Applause came from the hotel lobby entrance.

Curious, Xiao Longchen looked over.

Then, he was stunned.

“Weiwei?!”

Seeing the tall beauty in a black evening gown, walking gracefully in heels, Xiao Longchen was excited.

Finally, she arrived!

As expected of his Weiwei, stunning everyone!
