Chapter 338: Taking Li Bala to the Banquet

Sunday.

Su Mingzhe originally planned to call Tang Yun again in the afternoon and ask her to go out to watch a movie to deepen their relationship.

Li Bala suddenly came with an invitation and asked me to accompany her to a banquet.

Su Mingzhe took a look at the invitation and found out that it was a gathering of Yanjing bigwigs organized by Yanjing TV Station.

Su Mingzhe has attended this kind of banquet many times.

He had met many beautiful young ladies at such banquets.

The organizer of this banquet sent an invitation to Li Bala, and it was obvious that they regarded Li Bala as a "socialite".

Although Su Mingzhe had known for a long time that Li Bala would definitely encounter this kind of thing when she entered the entertainment industry, he still felt a little angry when he saw the invitation:

"You can just postpone this kind of banquet. Why accept it?"

Li Bala didn't care about her boyfriend's anger at all, she put her arm around him and said coquettishly:
"Why did you refuse? I've never been to a party like this before. You're here this time. Can you accompany me to see the world?"

"whatever."

After Su Mingzhe calmed down after being annoyed, he felt that it would be better for him to accompany Li Bala to the event.

Of course, he certainly didn't attend this kind of banquet to give face to the TV station.

He wanted those blind bastards to open their eyes and not mess with Li Bala in the future.

Soon, the two of them picked out dresses to attend the banquet.

It was a little after six in the evening and the street lights had already been turned on.

Su Mingzhe drove a red Ferrari Enzo and brought Li Bala to the private club where the banquet was held.

It is true that wealth and luxury are dazzling.

When the supercar arrived at the door of the club, the guard let the two in without even checking the invitation.

Li Bala was about to take out the invitation card, but she stood there in a daze, looking at the man's unscrupulous teasing, and she exploded on the spot, angrily saying:

"Didn't you know that you don't need an invitation?"

"Then tell me, why do I want to drive this Enzo?"

Su Mingzhe smiled gently, reached out and patted his girlfriend's hand, and then taught her:

"In this world of fame and fortune, it's always 'respect the clothes first, then the person'. We drove a luxury car worth tens of millions of dollars into the venue. Would a small security guard dare to stop us without clear instructions from above?"

As the two were talking, Su Mingzhe parked the car at the entrance of the hall, guided by the landmarks.

Su Mingzhe and Li Bala got out of the car, and then a parking attendant drove the car to the parking space.

The two came to the banquet hall.

It was Li Bala's first time to come to such a place, so naturally she was curious about everything. She took her boyfriend's arm and asked him to explain the precautions to her.

Su Mingzhe patiently explained point by point.

In fact, the rules at this kind of banquet are set for the little people.

For the big guys, rules are a price tag to measure their status.

For example, there was a band performing at the banquet.

The repertoire to be performed is usually decided long ago.

Ordinary guests couldn't understand and could only pretend to listen.

And if the boss at the banquet is a little arrogant and overbearing, he can directly ask the band to play the music he likes.

Su Mingzhe has done this kind of thing.

It was in Hong Kong at that time, and it was National Day.

Su Mingzhe directly asked the band to play the song "Singing the Motherland".

No one said anything at the time, and many guests even applauded and cheered.

Su Mingzhe was discussing the rules with Li Bala when he suddenly felt someone waving at him. He turned around and saw that it was his business partner, Wang Muqi, a real estate developer from Northeast China.

Wang Muqi originally thought he had recognized the wrong person. After all, Su Mingzhe was still a student and rarely attended such events.

However, after seeing the beauty next to Su Mingzhe, Wang Muqi thought he had found the answer, and walked over with a smile and said hello:
"Boss Su, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Brother Wang, you are still so polite."

After Su Mingzhe took control of Jianing Group last year, he reorganized the original business and transferred many businesses to Wang Muqi.

So, when Wang Muqi saw Su Mingzhe, it was like he saw the God of Wealth.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Mingzhe felt his arm being pinched hard by his girlfriend. He almost grimaced in pain, and then he hurriedly introduced Li Bala to Wang Muqi and said, "Brother Wang, this is my girlfriend Li Bala. Bala, this is Brother Wang, a real estate developer in Northeast China. The community where you used to live was developed by Brother Wang's company. If you go to Northeast China in the future, you can ask Brother Wang for help if you have any problems."

"Brother Wang, please take care of me from now on."

Li Bala was also eloquent, and following Su Mingzhe's words, she got to know Wang Muqi.

Wang Muqi was also unsure about Li Bala and Su Mingzhe's situation, so he could only pat his chest and agree:

"Girl, when you get to Northeast China, call Brother Wang and he will arrange everything for you."

As more and more people attended the banquet, many people recognized Li Bala, the newly debuted singer, but few people could recognize Su Mingzhe's origins.

When these people saw that Wang Muqi knew Su Mingzhe, they asked him about it.

After Wang Muqi introduced Su Mingzhe's identity, a group of people lined up and walked towards Su Mingzhe like cats smelling blood.

Su Mingzhe had known that this would be the case, and he took the trouble to greet the visitor.

Finally, when the banquet was halfway through, Su Mingzhe finally pulled Li Bala to the corridor outside the hall and sat down. He couldn't help but speak again:
"Well, you see, this is the world of fame and fortune. The female stars you used to admire, the big sisters, the Hua Dan, no matter how famous they are, if they don't have a backstage background, they can only serve as vases for the rich and powerful."

"Am I not serving as a vase for you now?"

Li Bala didn't care about her boyfriend's teachings, she knew that she was just a singing girl in a bar. Her mother had abandoned her for more than ten years and ignored her.

My relatives avoid me like a tiger.

All the bad friends I know in society are coveting my body.

If I didn’t know my boyfriend, I probably wouldn’t know where I’d be hanging out right now.

The two rested in the corridor for a while and then returned to the hall.

Although there is floor heating and warm air in the corridor, the temperature is still too low.

Li Bala was wearing a dress and was not very cold-resistant.

The banquet ended soon, and Su Mingzhe and Li Bala left the club with a thick stack of business cards.

Jiang Jiao had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When she saw the two men coming back, she couldn't help pouting and said coquettishly to the man:
"Hubby, you're accompanying Bala to the party today, so what should I do next year?"

After all, China is a monogamous country.

Su Mingzhe brought Li Bala to the banquet to support Li Bala. In the eyes of some people, Li Bala would become his official girlfriend.

Jiang Jiao waited at home for almost an hour before she suddenly understood this truth.

When I start my debut next year, even Su Mingzhe will accompany me to the banquet.

But in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a mistress who stole someone else's boyfriend.

Although Jiang Jiao was indeed the mistress who stole someone else's boyfriend, she did not admit it.

She also thought that after they graduated from college, her boyfriend would marry her in a formal ceremony and bring her home, and she would become the first wife.

"Don't worry, I treat you all equally."

Su Mingzhe pretended not to understand what Jiang Jiao meant and pulled her and Li Bala into the bedroom.

It's still too cold outside, it's better to stay in bed.

Jiang Jiao wanted to act coquettishly, but the man blocked her mouth and she couldn't say anything.

On the second day.

Su Mingzhe and Jiang Jiao left on a chartered plane.

Li Bala was reluctant to leave and pulled the two of them to say goodbye.

"We'll just go back for ten days or so, and then come back next week, and we'll stay here permanently."

Su Mingzhe hugged Li Bala and told her not to see him off.

It is already early December.

By mid-December, Jiang Jiao will also come to Yanjing to prepare for the art exam.

Therefore, in the next ten days, Su Mingzhe plans to stay in Dongshan Island to accompany Jiang Jiao and not come here.

Watching Su Mingzhe and Jiang Jiao leave, Li Bala couldn't help but curse inwardly:
"What a little bitch!"

Zhang Ru, the bodyguard and driver next to him, pretended not to hear and came over to remind him:

"Well, it's almost time for school."

"I see."

Li Bala has never been a good student, but now she is a star and her every move is under close scrutiny.

Therefore, in order not to destroy her personal image and her popularity among the public, Li Bala had to pretend to be a good student and go to school on time every day.

A few hours later, Su Mingzhe and Jiang Jiao returned to Dongshan Island.

After lunch, Jiang Jiao returned to school, while Su Mingzhe continued to be busy with his research.

Ten days is neither long nor short.

More than fifty ink paintings, all framed.

Li Bala took a photo of Su Mingzhe. Su Mingzhe asked Li Bala to keep it, and then prepared to fly to Yanjing again with Jiang Jiao.

This time, I was away for more than a month.

The two will not come back until the final exams of high school.

So, before leaving, Su Daqing and Bai Xiuning took the two of them out for a reunion dinner.

It is said that children are no longer under the control of their fathers when they grow up.

The old couple didn't discipline Su Mingzhe's thoughts, but before leaving, they gave him a few more instructions:
"Boy, Jiaojiao and Bala are both good girls. They are willing to follow you, so you can't mess around outside anymore."

This was said by Su Daqing. He also wanted to have girls on both sides in his life, but he failed to achieve his wish.

He, as a father, didn't have a good life, but now he sees his son living it, and he feels uncomfortable.

Bai Xiuning dotes on her son much more:
"Son, you will be living in Yanjing from now on. Don't be busy making money all the time. Remember, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything."

After Bai Xiuning finished talking about her son, she began to instruct Jiang Jiao, "Jiaojiao, you and Bala should get along well. Since you are all family, you should treat each other as sisters and act in unison. Don't let the two of you fight at home, and then the man will spend his time drinking and partying outside. Isn't this just giving away the money to the women outside?"

Jiang Jiao was lectured by her future mother-in-law, her face turned red with shame, but she didn't dare to refute and could only nod in agreement.

Su Mingzhe did not expect that his own mother would have to help him deal with matters in the inner house. He felt it was a little funny, but also a little touched.

This is the real mother.

the next day.

Su Mingzhe and Jiang Jiao, seen off by their relatives and friends, arrived at the commuter airport, ready to take a charter flight to Yanjing.

Just after getting on the plane, before they had even sat down, a phone call came in, making Su Mingzhe's face light up with joy.

Caller ID: Tang Yun.
