Chapter 1308 The Banquet Begins

The implication is that the two are not in cahoots with each other! Today's incident happened suddenly, and it was all Jin Hanyue's own fault. It had nothing to do with Su Qiao, and there was really no need to vent his anger on her.

Ji Ze understood, and the two talked for a long time before going out together.

Sure enough, the 23rd floor was empty, and Su Qiao was no longer there.

This girl is different from those girls who are always pestering! Ji Ze's evaluation of her was a little better.

After sending Zhu Ningning home, and reluctantly returning to the hotel, he received a call from Ji Ye, saying that he would leave for Beijing tomorrow and asked him if he wanted to go with him?

Ji Ze really wanted to stay in City C for a few more days, but even if he had time, Ningning would go to school. Could it be that he had to chase her to Xingchen No. 1 Middle School?

After thinking for a while, he decided to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

After all, there is a long way to go.

The next day, the Ji family welcomed back the three masters, and the whole manor was filled with an active and warm atmosphere.

On the other hand, the Lu family is preparing for the upcoming cruise banquet.

Beijing is not near the sea, and there is no sea around that can provide this cruise banquet. Therefore, the Lu family set this banquet near Qinhuangdao, signed a three-day and two-night contract with the luxury cruise ship of Meiyue, and made full preparations for the banquet.

It is really a long distance from the center of Beijing to Qinhuangdao, but the banquets of various families are all strange, and some weird auctions are also set in places where few people go. Everyone is well-informed and has long been accustomed to it!

Anyway, going to the cruise to attend the banquet, taking a good rest on it for a weekend, blowing the sea breeze, and looking at the scenery, isn’t it fun?

However, people in Beijing have always been good at choosing what kind of banquet to invite what kind of people, and what kind of host family posts, they will naturally choose whether to go or not.

As for the Lu family, it has a good reputation in Beijing. It used to be the leader of the second-tier families, but I don’t know what forces they offended, and suddenly it declined. After Mr. Lu left, the younger generation Lu Ming came on stage, and the Lu family was slightly back on track.

Unfortunately, before they could make any effort, the Lu family was tossed down by Lu Xinran!

At the press conference for cooperation with Apple, Lu Xinran made a huge mess, not only making the Lu family lose face, but more importantly, she offended Apple!

If you want to go the route of high-end series products, you must have a good relationship with well-known designers. What she did not only offended Apple, but also affected almost all the well-known designers in the circle because she plagiarized the works of five-star reviews and tried to take them for herself.

Let me ask you, five-star reviews that you don’t even want to see once in normal times, painted a work that was extremely rare, but was taken for yourself! If such behavior affects the mood of the Star God and makes her never want to create again! Isn’t it the fall of a superstar in the design world?

What’s more, she dared to do such a bold move. Didn’t anyone in the Lu family really investigate the origin of the painting in advance? They dared to do such a thing to the famous Star God. Will they behave even worse to me, who is also a designer, in the future?

Therefore, after the press conference, the Lu family lost more than just a contract opportunity.

Due to this incident, the momentum that the Lu family had finally built up quickly weakened again. Faced with a lot of troubles, they were obviously depressed for a long time. Just when many people secretly laughed at the joke and thought that the Lu family would never make any waves again, Lu Ming sent everyone a cruise banquet invitation.

As for the banquet, many people went, but not everyone was willing to participate in a three-day and two-night banquet! If it weren't for a close relationship or something important, who would go to a banquet that lasted dozens of hours?

The Lu family specially sent invitations to all the major families in Beijing, and they were obviously full of confidence. There were even rumors outside that even people from the Ji family would show up at this banquet! Even if the news was a bit watery, if they really ran into people from the Ji family after going up, wouldn't they make a lot of money? !

Perhaps they all had expectations. When they first received the invitation, they were still ambiguous. After hearing the rumor, they all agreed to come.

In the manor, Mr. Lu leaned against the window of the study, his old eyes were staring at the lawn outside the window, his expression was focused, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The door behind him rang several times regularly, and the housekeeper pushed the door open and said respectfully: "Grandpa, Master Ming is here."

Grandpa Lu paused, but did not turn around, and said slowly: "Let him in."

"Yes."

The housekeeper quietly retreated, and a series of regular footsteps gradually approached, followed by Lu Ming's clear voice: "Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

Grandpa Lu held a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep puff, and then said slowly: "Coming?"

Lu Ming walked forward: "Yes."

Grandpa Lu still looked out the window, but his voice gradually became cold: "I heard that you also sent a post to Ning Wanwan."

Lu Ming's expression tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to deny it, but since his grandfather said so, he must have real evidence in his heart.

He lowered his eyelashes to cover up his inexplicable emotions: "Yes."

"You should know that we specially invited Bai Qi."

"Grandson knows."

"Since you know, why did you invite Ning Wanwan?"

Lu Ming remained calm: "Aren't they sisters? Inviting Bai Qi and Wan Wan does not conflict! In fact, as long as one comes, the other will come naturally."

Grandpa Lu turned around slowly, and looked at this most outstanding grandson with deep eyes. After a long time, he frowned and said: "Do you really think so? Without any selfishness?"

"No selfishness." Lu Ming's eyebrows turned cold, "Besides, she has already rejected me."

Grandpa Lu snorted coldly: "Reject? Of course she will reject you! Do you think Ning Wan Wan will agree to go to the banquet without her sister's instruction?"

Lu Ming responded: "I know. But using Tang Yuanqing's relics to motivate Bai Qi may not necessarily make her agree to come. On the contrary, as long as Wanwan is willing, Bai Qi will come anyway."

"Don't you know what consequences Ning Wanwan's appearance will cause?!" Seeing that his grandson was deliberately resisting him, Mr. Lu said angrily, "The people from the Jin family will also come! Do you want Jin Yaner and Ning Wanwan to bump into each other?!"

Jin Yaner is Lu Ming's fiancée. The two families have been engaged for many years. Even when the Lu family lost power a few days ago, Jin Yaner still stayed with them.

Inviting Ning Wanwan now, isn't it intentional to go against the Jin family?

Lu Ming raised the corner of his lips, a little sarcastic: "Didn't grandpa tell me to continue pursuing Ning Wanwan?"
