Chapter 746 I’m Looking for You

The banquet hall was very quiet for a moment, but soon, everyone spoke one after another, and the banquet hall was filled with "congratulations".

Shi Lei was slightly embarrassed. Of course he was prepared, but he didn't expect that Bai Lao would announce the matter as soon as he walked in, which caught him somewhat off guard.

He looked at Bai Lao, and saw that there was a hint of cunning in Lao Bai's cloudy pupils. Old and young, that is to say, when people reach old age, they often have a childish attitude, even for an old man like Bai Lao. , occasionally it is inevitable to have a bit of narrow-mindedness.

Looking at his godmother Chen Yanu again, he saw that both of her eyes were smiling. Shi Lei finally understood that Bai Lao announced this matter when he came in. It was basically an agreement with Chen Yanu, just to see Shi Lei in this slightly embarrassed state. .

Who made Shi Lei born with "facial paralysis", so that no matter what situation he faces, he always has a calm and strategizing attitude?

After being in contact with each other for a long time, Mr. Bai and Chen Yannv certainly knew that Shi Lei was not really that young and mature, and of course they would not really misunderstand that he had facial paralysis. They knew that Shi Lei only had a slightly longer reflex arc, so they could hide their inner feelings very well. emotions, because often by the time he realizes the situation, everyone's reaction has ended, and Shi Lei no longer needs to show any emotions.

Bai Lao just wanted to see if Shi Lei would show any signs of panic under strong pressure.

There is no doubt that Bai Lao succeeded.

The old man's eldest daughter stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

Shi Lei reached out his hand in a hurry, feeling at a loss.

The cunning meaning in Lao Bai's eyes became more intense, and the old man of the Yu family also nodded slightly and said: "This young man is not bad, he is still half a student of my family. Today, I am busy with worldly affairs and cannot attend Lao Bai's birthday banquet in person, but, He asked me to say something. He originally wanted to accept Shi Lei as his student, but due to some special reasons, the identities of student and teacher are no longer suitable. But the relationship between master and disciple is still there."

This sentence seems to be the icing on the cake, but in fact it also fully demonstrates the attitude.

Wu Dongcheng originally had three pillars, but now the Wei family has become a smoke and ashes. It can be said that the Yu family and the Bai family each have half of the country. However, these two families unanimously showed great favor to this young man. The previous emotions of envy, jealousy, dissatisfaction, and confusion once again appeared in the hearts of the more than 300 people present.

Many people quickly calmed down and remembered what Bai Lao said just now.

Shi Lei is not only Chen Yanu's adopted son, but also more than Yu Banzhi's student. He is also Bai Lao's old friend. Bai Lao does not regard him as an elder, but calls him his little friend.

It is polite to call someone a friend in person, and it is also polite to call him a friend during an introduction. However, when the next sentence is to say that this person is the godson of his adopted daughter, then this sentence is no longer polite.

It turns out that Shi Lei has really been included in the ranks of the Bai family? Although he is not a member of the Bai family, he is not weaker than any of the Bai family members.

All the guests have arrived, and Bai Lao's eldest son Bai Prism has also returned to the banquet hall. Even he has a slightly surprised expression.

Of course he knew that his father admired Shi Lei, but he didn't expect that he would appreciate it to such an extent.

Of course Bai Prism is not envious, let alone jealous, and there is no need to be angry or puzzled. He is just slightly surprised.

As for the icing on the cake of the Yu family, Bai Prism didn't know why. Regarding Yu Banzhi's distress in Africa, only a limited number of people knew about it, and even Bai Lao didn't know.

Originally, Mr. Bai pushed Shi Lei out so solemnly today, which also had another meaning. This was to tell the Yu family, who had an old rift with Shi Lei, to let the past go. But he didn't expect that the old man of the Yu family would actually protect Shi Lei. Mr. Bai glanced at Shi Lei and thought to himself, there may be some twists and turns here. In short, Shi Lei has gained the respect of the Yu family.

Everyone took their seats and the banquet began.

A host was saying some clichés on the stage, but everyone acted like they were listening. Soon, the host came off the stage, and in the banquet hall, people were drinking and talking in low voices. The center of discussion, besides Bai Lao's birthday banquet, was naturally Shi Lei. In fact, the topic about Shi Lei even surpassed the real master today.

Several people at the main table toasted to Bai Lao, and Bai Lao tasted it briefly.

Shi Lei finally stood up, raised the glass with both hands, walked to Mr. Bai, respectfully raised the glass above his head, and said: "Old Bai, thank you, and for your health and longevity."

Bai Lao smiled slightly and drank the remaining half of the remaining wine in the glass.

You know, Mrs. Yu and the old man's eldest daughter, Bai Lao only drank half a glass of wine, and Shi Lei only drank half a glass.

The two people at the main table did not misunderstand anything. They just saw Mr. Bai's protective feelings for Shi Lei.

Bai Lao is already very old, so naturally it is impossible for more than 300 people in the banquet hall to toast one by one. Under the leadership of the host, everyone toasted together to count.

Later, with the support of Chen Yannv and his eldest son Bai Lingjing, Mr. Bai walked around the tables, no longer drinking, but just expressing his gratitude for being present.

When leaving the main table, Mr. Bai turned around and shouted with a smile: "Little friend Shi Lei, let me introduce you to the elders here."

Shi Lei hesitated for a moment, but followed Bai Prism's wave and followed the three of them as they walked around the table.

At this moment, everyone was more certain that Mr. Bai really valued this young man and was not lying.

It was said to be an introduction, but how could it be introduced to three hundred people? Shi Lei's brain is not a camera, so it is impossible to remember so many faces at the same time.

Mr. Bai treated everyone equally and just asked Shi Lei to hold up an empty glass to show respect. He said to each table gently: "These are your elders. If you don't understand anything in business in the future, don't be afraid to ask your elders for advice."

Inevitably, some people would immediately return the favor and hand over their business cards one after another. Shi Lei put them away one by one, but felt that his head was a little big. How difficult was it to match the business cards in his hands with that face?

A middle-aged man in his forties sat at a table not far from the gate. From the moment he saw Shi Lei entering the door behind Mr. Bai, to the time Mr. Bai announced the relationship between Shi Lei and the Bai family, to the time Mr. Bai led Shi Lei around. , there was only one emotion in his heart, and that was a slight regret for a certain temptation more than a week ago.

However, this trace of regret is not too strong. After all, it is just a trivial matter. Since someone can be valued so much by Mr. Bai, even if he is still young, he will definitely not be able to pursue and beat him up.

This person is, of course, Xiong Jinglue from the Xiong family in Xixi.

Seeing Mr. Bai leading Shi Lei to his table with the support of his eldest son and adopted daughter, Xiong Jinglue also stood up.

Mr. Bai still said the same words, even Mr. Bai was not familiar with the people at this table. This table was originally a mobile table, reserved for those who came uninvited and were inconvenient to send away directly.

The people at this table were obviously more enthusiastic than those at the previous tables. They came uninvited and were not on the Bai family's banquet list. Shi Lei himself was considered a newcomer in the IT world, so of course they were more friendly. .

Xiong Jingluo deliberately waited until everyone introduced themselves, then said with a smile: "I wish Mr. Bai a long life." He drank a glass of his own business, then said hello to Bai Prism and Chen Yanu, looked at Shi Lei, and said with a smile: "Shi Sir, I have heard of the famous name for a long time, and I would like to give you a brief summary of Xixi Xiongjing."

After hearing this, Shi Lei closed his eyes and thought, "So you are Xiong Jinglue, I'm looking for you!"
