Chapter 311 - 312: Rest Room (1)
Lu Weixi glanced where she had pointed and indeed saw the familiar figure of the slender man, who walked with Boss Liao.
Xiaochen still seemed exhilarated, “I’ve seen this handsome man before, just a few days ago, he was there when we had our acceptance meeting. I didn’t expect he would be here again today.”
Lu Weixi glanced over nonchalantly, “Of course, he’s here. That’s Simon White.” “What? He’s the famous Simon White?” Xiaochen’s face brightened up in surprise, “I thought he would be much older, but he’s so young and handsome…”
She even sprang up, “I want to ask him for his autograph!”
Besides the representatives from Lulu and Qin Zhigu’s studio, there were many people present at Boss Liao’s groundbreaking ceremony, including invited friends and relatives. Bai Changyou and his associates were invited in this way.
The new Siyi Company headquarters was beside the old one, with its rest area also located in the old building. The ceremonial platform was in front of the square, and the stand was already up with seating arranged.
As a renowned designer who is responsible for the new building’s design and being from the Qin Family, Qin Zhigu was given the utmost importance and arranged to sit in the first row by Boss Liao. As soon as he settled down, a crowd surrounded him, with young women including Xiaochen and Xiaoqian in the majority. However, when Cai Yiren appeared, although she didn’t say anything, the way she directly sat next to Qin Zhigu made it clear to others: their relationship was not ordinary.
Xiaochen and Xiaoqian, who were squeezed off, made sour faces and grumbled in their hearts, thinking: He’s not as handsome as our foreman, Lu. So what if you have money?
Qin Zhigu seemed slightly unhappy, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, “This is Boss Liao’s seat, and the one next to it belongs to the interior designer. You shouldn’t be here.”
“What does it matter? I came here to see you. Even my father approves.”
Following the direction of Cai Yiren’s smiling face, Qin Zhigu saw Bai Changyou not far away. With him were Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia. Even Qin Zhimei, who was upset at the wedding earlier, had come.
The presence of Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia was to bolster Qin Zhigu’s prestige. Earlier at the wedding, they too had been overshadowed by their junior, Qin Zhiyou. Who had stunned everyone by winning a major national-level demonstration zone project. Everyone wanted to cozy up to him and have a share of the pie. The elders, who were supposed to be respected, were being completely ignored.
With Qin Zhigu proving himself, it was uncertain who would prevail in Hanhai’s future. Moreover, were they so sure that Qin Zhiyou could manage such a big project on his own?
Qin Zhigu was not surprised at his father’s and aunt’s arrival. What puzzled him was that Bai Changyou, instead of coaxing Qin Zhiyou, chose to curry favor with his father and aunt.
He turned back, furrowing his eyebrows slightly, “Your action is disrespectful to the interior designer. Go sit in your own seat. The groundbreaking ceremony is about to start. Don’t make things difficult for Boss Liao.”
Actually, what bothered him was his discomfort with Cai Yiren’s natural reference to “Dad”. Although Bai Changyou was her stepfather and it was normal for her to call him Dad, he always felt this title was meant exclusively for someone else.
Xiaoqian had gone to the restroom, with Xiaochen waiting outside.. While she was looking down at her cell phone to kill the boredom, a man with a smooth, pleasing voice asked, “Which lounge is Lu Weixi in?”
