Chapter 82

Mother Qin withdrew her gaze from Qi Zhao and turned to face most of the people in the main hall.

She raised the wine glass in her hand, smiled and said loudly: "You are all important partners and friends of Qiyin. I am taking up your precious time today to introduce someone to you."

Qin's mother looked at Qin Zhuo, Use your eyes to signal him to take a step forward.

At this moment, in front of these partners, Qin's mother's eyes and movements on Qin Zhuo were more intimate than ever before.

It was as if he was specifically telling everyone about the importance and specialness of Qin Zhuo.

She bent her eyes like a loving mother and said in a familiar tone as if she was very familiar with Qin Zhuo: "This is my son Qin Zhuo, who recently studied finance abroad."

People in the circle know the only son of the Qin and Xu families. It’s no stranger to this, and I’m somewhat familiar with the “□□” that Qi Yin personally issued to Qin Zhuo in the industry half a year ago.

But what Qin's mother meant when she said this was to expose Qin Zhuo to the public as the heir to the next generation.

Although they don't know what happened between Qin Zhuo and Qin's mother to reconcile so quickly, for them, business interests are far more important than entertainment gossip.

The Han family, who had known the Qin family for many years, was the first to speak, with a very relaxed and natural tone: "Xiao Zhuo, when are you going to learn to do business?"

His words sounded so straightforward as to be offensive in such an occasion.

The company that had just started cooperating with Qiyin was murmuring in his heart at this moment.

After Mr. Han asked this question, Mr. Xu's expression was not strange at all, but the smile on his face became deeper.

I don’t know if it’s because the relationship between the two families is stronger than Jin Jian, or if they had expected it?

After hearing this, Qin's mother replied for Qin Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo will indeed take over some small business recently, and I have to ask Uncle Han to take care of him."

Mr. Han seemed to be interested when he heard this. She asked, "Oh? I wonder what business Xiao Zhuo wants to take over first?"

"The Sanhe Bay business."

Qin's mother said these words lightly, and when they fell on the ears of others present, they were like thunder on the ground.

Even Gu Ci's eyes were stunned.

Sanhe Bay is a piece of land that the Qin family invested in decades ago. When the Qin family bought the land, it was surrounded by a small fishing village, and its biggest use was just as a port to transport overseas goods.

But soon after the Qin family bought the land, the policy shifted to coastal cities. The small fishing village quickly developed into a metropolis, and Sanhe Bay followed suit.

All real estate-related companies are aware of the land in Sanhe Bay. Other companies that want to expand overseas markets also regard Sanhe Bay as their ideal springboard.

It's just that the Qin family has been holding Sanhewan very tightly for so many years. No matter what conditions any company offers, Qiyin has no intention of letting go.

No one invited to this banquet expected to suddenly hear news about Sanhe Bay at this time.

The originally uninterested guests now pricked up their ears and became highly nervous.

They stared at Qin's mother and Qin Zhuo standing on the high platform for a moment, for fear that they would miss some important news.

Qi Zhao clearly felt the change in the atmosphere in the hall.

She glanced sideways at Gu Ci and saw interest in his eyes.

Qi Zhao frowned and asked the system for help: "001, was Sanhe Bay included in the original story setting?"

The system took a look at its backend data, pulled out a plot from the corner, and sorted it out with a program. Later, he gave Qi Zhao a brief introduction to science.

After the system explained the background of Sanhe Bay to Qi Zhao, it was quiet for a few seconds. When it spoke again, it looked like it was suddenly realized: "No wonder they are so excited." I used the background data to evaluate it, and the current commercial value of Sanhe Bay is almost the highest project in this game. ]

Qi Zhao subconsciously looked at Qin Zhuo when he heard the system's words.

Something is wrong, so wrong.

Qi Zhao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Apparently half a month ago, Qin's mother came to see him specifically because of Qin Zhuo's affairs, and wanted to use herself as an excuse to force Qin Zhuo to give up movies and continue studying finance.

But with only ten days left, why did Qin's mother suddenly convince Qin Zhuo to let him take over the business?

Besides, Qin Zhuo hasn't given up on making movies yet.

Qi Zhao thought about Qin Zhuo's reports in the news these days and the guarantee he just said, and his doubts became more and more intense.

Qin's mother lowered her eyes and looked in Qi Zhao's direction, as if she had telepathy.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Qin's mother opened her lips and said again: "But if you are interested in Sanhe Bay, you may have to wait a little longer."

Qin's mother looked at the people in the banquet hall with a trace of emotion in her words . Helpless: "Qin Zhuo has fallen in love with making movies recently and told me that he must wait until the movie side is settled before he can take over Qiyin's business."

Everyone who has been coveting Sanhe Bay for a long time can't wait for a moment. , for fear that Mother Qin’s words were just a pretense to deal with them.

A few couldn't sit still and asked tentatively: "I wonder what kind of movies Xiao Qin is making? I have a film and television company that may be able to help."

One person spoke, and others also They all opened their mouths and responded.

Although each other was a potential competitor on the matter of Sanhe Bay, their thoughts were surprisingly consistent before Qin Zhuo took over Sanhe Bay - no matter what movie it was, the sooner it was resolved, the better.

If the progress of the movie is delayed by one day, the business of Sanhewan will be delayed by one day.

Qin's mother raised her lips, as if she was satisfied with their reaction: "Thank you for your kindness, but Qin Zhuo's film is already cooperating with the film and television department in Linchuan."

She turned to Qi Zhao and said with The wine glass pointed in her direction and said thoughtfully, "That lady is the director of the Linchuan Film and Television Department."

Everyone followed Qin's mother's movements and focused their attention on Qi Zhao.

Qi Zhao suddenly became the focus of the crowd, feeling scrutiny from all directions.

Qi Zhao saw the smile on Qin's mother's face, as sharp as a scorpion's tail.

Only then did she understand the focus of this Hongmen Banquet, and she also clarified the weirdness that had just lingered in her mind.

Qin's mother didn't compromise at all. She still couldn't accept Qin Zhuo's making a movie.

She dangled the carrot of Sanhe Bay in front of everyone, and told them that if they wanted the Sanhe Bay project, they had to wait for Qin Zhuo to finish his movie.

Or someone could help him get rid of the movie.

According to Qin's mother's explanation, the only obstacle to this condition was the film and television department that cooperated with Qin Zhuo.

Mother Qin's words were tactful, but this group of old foxes who have worked hard in the business world for many years only need to think a little to understand the actual meaning of her words.

——The Linchuan Film and Television Department is the only obstacle to the launch of the Sanhewan project.

After Qi Zhao understood this, he couldn't help laughing.

Qin Zhuo, one of the parties involved, seemed unaware. Qi Zhao looked at Qin's mother and marveled at her careful layout.

Although Qi Zhao didn't know the conditions under which Qin Zhuo and Qin's mother reached a cooperation or how long Qin's mother had been planning, she knew that Qin's mother must have included Qin Zhuo in his scheme.

Qi Zhao was still wondering why someone with Qin's mother's personality never found trouble in the film and television department after she was frustrated here. It turned out that she had already planned to wait for him here.

Everyone led by Mother Qin was staring at him eagerly, as if thinking of hundreds of ways to wipe out the film and television department.

Surrounded by wolves, Qi Zhao heard a sentence coming from beside him: "Mr. Xiao Qin's directorial work is very good. Linchuan is looking forward to this movie."

Qi Zhao turned around and looked over, seeing the expressions of everyone in the huge banquet hall . All eyes fell on herself, and only Gu Ci looked at Qin's mother.

There was nothing in Gu Ci's eyes, but Qi Zhao's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

As soon as Gu Ci said these words, everyone came back to their senses as if they were waking up from a dream.

They had just focused on the director of the film and television department, and almost forgot that Linchuan was behind the film and television department.

Although they didn't know whether Gu Ci was interested in Sanhewan, the words he spoke seemed to be supporting the film and television department.

After realizing this, everyone began to get confused.

If Gu Ci hadn't spoken, they would have dozens of ways to punish the film and television department. But if Gu Ci takes action, this matter will be difficult to handle.

Gu Ci is not easy to deal with.

Mother Qin, who didn't expect Gu Ci to speak suddenly, had a frozen expression on her face.

Qi Zhao smiled when he saw her depressed expression.

She picked up the glass of champagne at hand, pointed the glass in the direction of Qin's mother, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you, Director Qin and Mr. Xu, for your respect. I will live up to your trust."

Qi Zhao said the four words one by one. After saying this, she raised her glass and raised her head out of inertia as she raised her hand to drink.

The eyes that had been staring at Mother Qin also changed from looking up slightly to looking down, and the smile in her eyes that was only visible to Mother Qin became stronger.

The originally tense atmosphere was instantly broken in just a few seconds.

As the host, Mother Qin couldn't show her emotions on her face, so she had to skip this episode and continue the original process of the banquet.

It's just that eating and drinking at the banquet were originally a place for socializing. As soon as the incident about Qin's mother in Sanhe Bay came out, more people gathered around Qin Zhuo to toast.

People who had not been able to talk to Gu Ci before now also came over with glasses of wine in hand. Seeing that they were planning to discuss business, Qi Zhao found an excuse to avoid it.

Because of the incident that just happened, no one who saw Qi Zhao dared to come forward as if they saw a hot potato.

Qi Zhao was also free and began to entertain himself by eating and drinking.

Qi Zhao, who knew that she had nothing in common with these people, had no desire to actively chat with them. After tasting all the wines here, she felt a little bored.

Qi Zhao began to observe the people at the banquet. After scanning the entire unfamiliar face, Qi Zhao unconsciously focused on Gu Ci.

She originally thought that someone with Gu Ci's personality would be unsociable, but now it seems that he even has a relaxed expression on his face when talking to others.

Someone was toasting in front of him, and Gu Ci also raised the wine glass in his hand and took a sip.

Qi Zhao stared at the sloshing liquid in his wine glass for a while and suddenly laughed.

Others might not understand it, but Qi Zhao could tell at a glance that what was in Gu Ci's glass was not champagne but sparkling water.

Qi Zhao, who felt it was amazing, observed Gu Ci for a while and found that the face of the person opposite him was a little red, but he still looked calm.

Qi Zhao didn't know why, but when she saw Gu Ci holding a glass of sparkling water as a drink, the more serious his expression became, the more she wanted to laugh.

"...Qi Zhao."

When the smile on Qi Zhao's lips became deeper and deeper, he suddenly heard Qin Zhuo's voice.

She turned to look over and saw that Qin Zhuo's eyes were also a little drunk.

When he saw Qi Zhao looking over, he lowered his eyes and said, "I didn't give up on that movie, and I won't give up on that movie."

Qin Zhuo's words were confusing, but Qi Zhao understood what he meant.

When he was called over by the white-haired waiter, he told himself that he could explain.

Maybe this sentence is the explanation, but Qi Zhao doesn't care much.

Qin Zhuo didn't do anything to apologize to himself, and he didn't need to explain anything to himself.

They just have a pure cooperative relationship now. As long as nothing happens to the movie in his hand, he doesn't need to explain to himself.

Qi Zhao was quiet for two seconds and said to him: "Qin Zhuo, if you want to give up or persist, you should ask yourself. Don't let others influence your judgment."

Qi Zhao stared at Qin Zhuo: "That's your movie. It's not a movie made for me."

Qin Zhuo froze when he heard this.

The bubbles from the bottom of the champagne in the glass rose to the top and burst. Qi Zhao looked at Qin Zhuo who seemed to be deep in thought, took a sip of the wine and was about to turn around and leave.

But the moment he raised his feet, Qin Zhuo grabbed Qi Zhao's wrist.

Qi Zhao turned around and looked over, seeing his own figure reflected in Qin Zhuo's eyes, where a silent sadness appeared.

It was the first time that Qi Zhao faced Qin Zhuo who had changed his hair style at such a close distance. Qi Zhao suddenly felt a sense of trance when he looked at the stubble on his head.

There was a layer of moisture around the figure reflected in the eyes, and Qin Zhuo's voice was a little hoarse: "Qi Zhao...can we go back..." "

Mr. Xiao Qin."

Qi Zhao felt his wrist tighten and loosen. , when he reacted, he found that his hand had been transferred from Qin Zhuo's hand to Gu Ci's hand at some point.

Faced with the sudden change, Qin Zhuo didn't react for a while. He slowly looked at Gu Ci and saw a smile on his face.

His eyes were cold: "Everyone is waiting to toast you."

Gu Ci's words were loud enough that anyone who was not standing in a special corner could hear them.

Including Qin's mother who was socializing with others.

She frowned when she saw Qin Zhuo appearing near Qi Zhao again.

Qin Zhuo stopped pretending when facing Gu Ci, who didn't cover his eyes at all, and responded directly: "As a superior and subordinate in the company, Mr. Gu seems to care too much about Qi Zhao."

Gu Ci saw the trick and said: "As a film and television company Mr. Xiao Qin seems to be too enthusiastic about Qi Zhao, a partner in the department. "

Qin Zhuo sneered: "Isn't a few words warm to Mr. Linchuan?" Qin Zhuo said

. As soon as she finished speaking, Qin's mother suddenly came over.

She first scolded Qin Zhuo in a deep voice: "Qin Zhuo, you are so unruly."

Then she smiled at Gu Ci, raised the wine glass in her hand and drank it empty to apologize: "Mr. Gu, Please forgive me if there is any offense."

Qi Zhao subconsciously looked at Gu Ci after seeing Qin's mother finish the glass of wine.

His hands were empty, not holding the glass of sparkling water.

Under the focused gaze of everyone in the room, Gu Ci picked up a glass of wine on the table and drank it in two or three sips. He smiled and replied, "Mr. Xu is joking. I am also wrong about this."

Qi Zhao observed Gu Ci's expression and found nothing wrong for a moment.

Qin's mother said a few more polite words to Gu Ci before leaving with Qin Zhuo.

After everyone's attention was focused elsewhere, Gu Ci suddenly stared at Qi Zhao and said, "Can you go out with me?"

Although Qi Zhao felt that this sentence was a bit sudden, he still nodded.

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the door, Qi Zhao's right side suddenly felt heavy.

Almost unsteady on his feet, Qi Zhao grabbed Gu Ci's wrist and found a fulcrum.

Gu Ci leaned against Qi Zhao as if his bones had been suddenly knocked out. Faced with this sudden situation, Qi Zhao worriedly called him: "Mr. Gu, what's wrong with you? Mr. Gu?"

Gu Ci It seemed that he said something, but his voice was too small and Qi Zhao couldn't hear him clearly.

She moved her head closer, and clearly saw Gu Ci's expression the moment she turned her head.

His eyes were dull and his face was obviously red.

Seeing his expression, Qi Zhao seemed to have thought of something, so he tried to call him: "Gu Ci?"

Gu Ci reacted for five seconds before slowly turning his head to look at Qi Zhao, without opening his mouth, the words came out from his throat. "Huh?"

Qi Zhao finally understood at this moment.

Gu Ci is a cup of wine.
