Chapter 551 Are You Sick?
The next morning, Huo Chengdong called Shi Lei and told him that arrangements had been made. The reception and auction would be held tonight, and he told Shi Lei the address.
Shi Lei was surprised to find that the hotel was right in the hotel where he lived.
She wanted to go to Song Miaomiao to tell her the news and ask her if she wanted to attend a cocktail party together in the evening, but she didn't expect that Song Miaomiao didn't seem to be in the room. He called her and turned off the phone.
Shi Lei returned to his room very depressed, wondering where Song Miaomiao had gone.
"The disease is not completely cured yet, and you are running around. Do you think you deserve to be sick?" Shi Lei was just complaining. He was mainly worried about Song Miaomiao's health.
After feeling sulky in the room for a while, Shi Lei realized that something was wrong with his mood and felt that his concern for Song Miaomiao seemed to have crossed the line.
Shi Lei had some subconscious worries, so he ignored Song Miaomiao and just sent her a WeChat message telling her that tonight's cocktail party would be held at the hotel where they were staying.
As the night gradually fell, Shi Lei put on formal clothes and called Song Miaomiao before going out. Surprisingly, his phone was still turned off. Shi Lei didn't bother to care about her and went straight into the elevator and headed downstairs to the banquet hall for the reception.
Huo Chengdong's assistant was standing at the door of the banquet hall, seemingly just waiting for Shi Lei's arrival, because at tonight's banquet, only Shi Lei did not have an invitation, because he was the host of the reception. But his master was aggrieved. No one knew him except Huo Chengdong, so he had to ask his assistant to greet Shi Lei at the door.
After Shi Lei followed Huo Chengdong's assistant in, the assistant continued to represent Huo Chengdong and chatted with other guests at the reception, but did not even help Shi Lei introduce these people to them. Maybe he didn't think it was necessary. Anyway, these people were here for Huo Chengdong and his friend from the auction house. Shi Lei had no choice but to walk around in the banquet hall bored, holding a glass of wine.
A waiter walked in quickly, found Huo Chengdong's assistant, and whispered a few words. Huo Chengdong's assistant immediately strode towards Shi Lei.
"Mr. Shi, someone outside the door said he was your friend..."
When Shi Lei heard this, he thought it should be Song Miaomiao, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick her up at the door."
Huo Chengdong's assistant didn't pay much attention. He continued to communicate with people after Shi Lei left. Shi Lei opened the door and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
At this moment, at the door of the banquet hall, Song Miaomiao was going crazy. Has she ever suffered such treatment? The dignified eldest lady of the Song family was actually blocked at the door of a banquet. Looking at the whole of China, it is estimated that except for occasions like the Great Hall, as long as Miss Song wants to participate in other banquets, no one will stop her from entering.
However, Song Miaomiao still maintained enough grace. After all, this was a foreign country, and the waiter was not wrong. Who told her not to have an invitation? She couldn't help but regret that she had turned off her phone all day, and now she didn't even bring her mobile phone. , thinking that since we were staying in the hotel where we were staying, there was no need to bring those things.
Fortunately, the waiter went in to look for someone, and Song Miaomiao was standing at the door waiting for Shi Lei.
"Assistant Song, why are you here?" A voice with a little arrogance sounded next to Song Miaomiao's ears.
Song Miaomiao turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance of hers, the American in charge of this negotiation at the Sydney branch of the mining company.
"Mr. George, I'm here to attend the reception, but I don't have an invitation, so they won't let me in."
George smiled slightly and said: "You can't go in without an invitation. The person holding this cocktail party today is a very famous local gentleman..."
"What, this reception was held by my friend, okay... Oh, I can't say that completely, anyway, it was specially held for my friend. You also met him, when you were in my room yesterday."
"Assistant Song's joke is really not funny at all, your friend? If I remember correctly, your friend came from China with you, right? You actually brazenly said that this reception was held for him? Hahahahaha , Assistant Song, regarding the negotiations between our companies, I also handle them impartially. It is useless for you to approach me in this way. I must admit that you are very beautiful and have an excellent figure, but I will not Because of these, the company's decision has been changed. The reason why the negotiations have not made any progress at this level is entirely due to your company's lack of sincerity. Assistant Song, you should know that we are a large multinational enterprise. Maybe your company is quite famous in your local area, but in front of our company, it's really not worth mentioning. Don't waste your time. Instead of using these off-site tricks, it's better to show sincerity and think carefully. Think about the conditions we put forward, so that the negotiation will be smoother."
When Song Miaomiao heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to step on this arrogant guy's face.
Do you really think that I came to this reception and found out that you were coming, so I wanted to come over and seduce you? Who do you think you are?
According to Miss Song's past temper, she had really stepped on him a long time ago. But just when she was about to fight back, she suddenly remembered that she was Wei Xingyue's assistant now. No matter what, she still had to take care of the company's interests.
After enduring it, Song Miaomiao said: "Mr. George, it seems that you are overthinking. I just came to the reception today. I didn't know that you would also come here. Since you have an invitation, please go in first." , my friend should come out to pick me up soon."
George glanced at Song Miaomiao with disdain, snorted, took out an invitation from his jacket pocket, and was about to hand it to the waiter at the door, when he saw Shi Lei walking out of the passage.
For a moment, George didn't expect that Shi Lei was really inside. Although the Chinese people all looked the same in his eyes, he had just met Shi Lei yesterday, so he still had some impression. He recognized Shi Lei at the first sight. The man who appeared in Song Miaomiao's room yesterday.
When Shi Lei saw Song Miaomiao, he waved, walked quickly to the door, and said to the waiter: "This lady is my friend. She came with me. Can I take her in?"
When the waiter saw that someone really came out to pick up Song Miaomiao, he was naturally ready to let her go.
But George was extremely unhappy when he saw this scene. After all, he had just spoken nonsense, saying that Song Miaomiao came here just to please him. Now someone actually picked her up, which made George feel too embarrassed.
He stretched out his hand to block Song Miaomiao who was about to walk in, and said to the waiter: "Are you so irresponsible? Why can people without invitations be allowed in?"
The waiter was also stunned, and then politely replied: "Sir, this gentleman is here to pick up this lady."
"But she didn't have an invitation!" George's attitude was very tough.
The waiter had a headache and said: "In principle, our guests without invitations can bring a female companion in."
"Then you didn't check whether this person had brought a female companion in before, so you just let him go? What if this is the second person he brought in? Are you allowed to come in and out of your drinking party today? You guys This is so irresponsible!”
Shi Lei was also stunned. He also recognized George, looked at Song Miaomiao, and said in confusion: "Sir, are you sick?"
