Chapter 711: Partners
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Yes, we just arrived and were looking for you. My dad would like to introduce you to a few of his friends.” Charlene walked closer to him and looked at him with her exceptionally bright eyes.
“Alright, let’s go.” This was the main reason he attended the banquet anyway.
John kept his promise and introduced many of his friends in the business world to Gu Shaoting. Gu Shaoting was polite and spoke graciously with everyone.
John felt like a proud father-in-law when he watched Gu Shaoting interact with his friends.
He suddenly felt that his daughter had good taste. Gu Shaoting was indeed a rare talent.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten that Gu Shaoting was a married man.
The dinner party was lively. Music played all night and people mingled happily in their expensive evening wear.
Charlene stayed by Gu Shaoting’s side the whole night, meeting other guests with him. Some people who knew Charlene thought that Gu Shaoting was her boyfriend.
But there were also guests who said that Gu Shaoting told them that he was married, but they didn’t hear anything about Charlene’s wedding. What was going on? Their relationship was rather confusing.
Gu Shaoting also benefited a lot from the dinner party. He met a potential business partner named Qin Zhen. He was around 30 years old and was Chinese, but his business was mostly in France.
The two of them hit it off and chatted enthusiastically.
Charlene was a little stunned when she saw them chatting happily. Her brows furrowed. Why was Qin Zhen here? But she quickly laughed at herself. Of course, Qin Zhen, a rising star in the business world, would be here.
She struggled for a while, but she couldn’t avoid what was coming. So, she braced herself and walked up to them. “What are you two chatting so enthusiastically about?”
“Miss Charlene…” Qin Zhen addressed Charlene lazily.
“Hello.” Charlene nodded at him like a stranger.
She then turned her head and said to Gu Shaoting, “Brother Gu, let’s go. My dad is looking for you. He said he has something to tell you.”
Gu Shaoting’s heart skipped a beat. Did John have an answer to his request?
“Okay, let’s go over then.” Gu Shaoting then said to Qin Zhen apologetically, “Mr. Qin, I have to do something now. Please excuse me. See you later.”
“Sure, please go ahead.” Qin Zhen held his wine glass and swirled it casually.
Qin Zhen’s grip on his glass unconsciously tightened as he watched Gu Shaoting and Charlene walk away eye-catchingly. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He took a deep breath and drank the wine in his glass in a single gulp.
John was seated in the lounge area. When Gu Shaoting and Charlene arrived, he was resting with his eyes closed.
“Dad, Brother Gu is here.” Charlene said.
“Oh, you’re here. Have a seat. How was it, Shaoting? Was the party fruitful?” John looked at Gu Shaoting with his wise eyes.
Gu Shaoting nodded. “Quite fruitful. Thank you for the invitation.”
“It’s nothing. Besides, what are we? Do we still need to say such polite words?” John laughed.
Gu Shaoting thought that they were business partners and he should thank John. After all, he wasn’t obligated to help him.
“Definitely.” Gu Shaoting said modestly.
“Shaoting, come over to my house tomorrow. Let’s talk. There are too many people here, and it’s inconvenient to talk.” John was silent for a moment before he spoke, as if he had made an important decision.
“Sure.” Gu Shaoting nodded with understanding.
Charlene felt her heart in her throat when she heard that. She looked at Gu Shaoting nervously, but Gu Shaoting looked calm and didn’t show any emotion.
