Hello, Wife!

Chapter 11: Business Party (Part 1)

The so-called business parties were totally different from how dramas portrayed them with groups of men and women, formally dressed, chatting and drinking while the male lead and female lead would rush to the middle of the dance floor to dance together, shocking everyone. In reality, these business parties were actually gatherings for people to compete with others.

Men used these parties to discuss business and women used these parties to discuss jewelry brands while trying to get information discreetly. If everyone acted like the male lead and female leads from dramas, just eating and drinking, then they all wouldn't be far from filing for bankruptcy.

Su Le didn't understand why Wei Chu brought her to this type of party. Not even mentioning the word 'trust,' just based on her abilities, did Wei Chu really didn't even hesitate when deciding to bring her?

No matter what Wei Chu's thoughts were or how unwilling Su Le was, she still cooperated by getting ready early. She wore a dress, make-up, and some jewelry. Of course, going bare-faced to these parties like some female leads from novels did was something Su Le can never do. Smart women would know what to do in different situations. After all, not everyone was so lucky like the female leads from dramas.

At five in the evening, Su Le's phone rang. It was Wei Chu. He had arrived and was waiting for her downstairs.

After looking in the mirror one more time to double check that everything was ok, Su Le left the apartment in her high heels.

While sitting in the car, Wei Chu was shocked when he saw a formally dressed Su Le exit the building. Elegantly getting out of the car, he opened the car door for Su Le like a gentleman. Once Su Le got into the car, Wei Chu said, "Sorry for troubling you tonight."

"I'll just treat it as getting a free meal." Realistically speaking, there weren't actually that many chances to eat during these parties, so Su Le replied gloomy, "We're schoolmates, there is no need for apologies."

Wei Chu seemed to not have noticed Su Le's unwillingness to attend and stepped on the accelerator, heading towards the hotel.

This party was hosted by Liang Lao Ye who had prestige in the business world, so a majority of the people invited would attend the party just to give Mr. Liang face.

When Su Le and Wei Chu arrived at the hotel, it appeared that many people had already arrived at the party. Wei Chu glanced at Su Le who was standing next to him. After seeing her complexion was normal, they entered the party hall together.

"CEO Wei," the son of the Liang family who was originally greeting a guest, smiled at them apologetically and walked towards Wei Chu, "It's a honor for CEO Wei to attend this party. Please drink more tonight."

"Young master Liang is too courteous," said Wei Chu as he shook hands with Liang Guang. This young master Liang was the heir of the Liang family and his methods in business made other people take him seriously.

"Of course not." The two released hands. Liang Guang smiled slightly at Su Le who was standing beside Wei Chu. "This beautiful lady is ...?"

"She is my friend, Su Le." Wei Chu's hand lightly held onto Su Le's shoulder while he introduced Su Le with a small smile.

"Oh," Liang Guang's eyes revealed understanding and smiled ambiguously, "Miss Su Le, nice to meet you. Miss Su is so radiant tonight. It truly makes people envy CEO Wei."

Su Le lifted her lips into a small smile in response, "Young master Liang's praise is too much. I previously heard from my friends about how promising young master Liang is despite your young age. Seeing you today, the rumours are justified as expected. To be able to meet young master Liang tonight, it is my honor." In these situations, I clearly understand that my praise does not mean much.
