Chapter 204: Wine and Delights
"Are you talking about Miss Xie?" Levi told Jo what had just happened. "I get angry every time I think about it."
Xie Ning did bring cash to deliver the invitations, inviting them to attend Kegley's pre-party.
However, Xie Peng asked her to be more generous, but she did not do so. Not only did she not give a penny, she also threw a tantrum and said that Kegley was "condescending".
If the male models perform well, they will be paid after the party.
"I won't let them go." Levi was furious.
"Levi, I will also attend the party tomorrow. I think, why don't we just go and have some fun and relax?" Wen Lan suggested.
"Xingchen?" Wen Lan turned around. "If you want to get more compensation and vent your anger, just do as I say."
...It was precisely because of this intersection and episode yesterday that when Xingchen saw Wen Lan today, he chatted with her affectionately as if he were seeing a good friend.
Although Xie Peng was pulled away by Yao Susu, his eyes lingered on Wen Lan from time to time.
This woman inexplicably moved him. He actually didn't know what to do, and didn't know whether he should give up his covetousness and hostility towards Ya Si.
He took advantage of Wen Lan's free time and walked over.
"Wen Lan!" He called her name more and more naturally and fluently.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie." Wen Lan kept his distance.
"The sales of IELTS during the trial period seem to be quite good?" He found a topic.
"Mr. Xie even knows our turnover?" Wen Lan took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and replied sharply, obviously mocking him.
"Oh, that's obvious. I often walk along the beach at sunset, and the Sunset Bar is always bustling." Xie Peng's response was also very natural.
"Maybe it will be more lively in a few days." Wen Lan lured the enemy deeper.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Xie Peng looked at her, his eyes were so deep that it was hard to see through them.
"Have you invited Star to today's party as well?" Wen Lan took a sip of wine, pursed her lips and swallowed it, looking very cool.
Xu Lisha also came over at this time, nodded to Wen Lan as a greeting, and joined their conversation.
"Star is a famous man, the dream lover of many young girls and young women. Are you interested in him too?"
Xie Peng asked a very good question. This sentence showed his personal curiosity about the relationship between Wen Lan and Xingchen, and also connected to what Wen Lan had just said, that the sunset bar might be more lively.
"Who doesn't love the life of luxury, debauchery and feasting?" Wen Lan and Xie Peng clinked their glasses. "Mr. Xie, I'll invite you to the Sunset Bar in a few days."
The rhythm and intention of this clinking of glasses were just right.
But Xu Lisha, who was standing by, had no idea what was going on from beginning to end and obviously misunderstood Wen Lan's actions.
Wen Lan and Xie Peng, two smart people, were fighting each other, but she saw some ambiguity in the fight:
Isn't Wen Lan's boyfriend a super handsome guy? Is she still not full? Why did she go to Kegley to hook up with a rich guy?
This Wen Lan is really ambitious and has a big appetite. He directly targets Kegley's CEO!
If she could get close to Xie Peng, would she just go along with him? Maybe she would even look down on the job of IELTS?
"Mr. Wen, have you drunk too much?" Xu Lisha pulled Wen Lan's arm. She was afraid that Wen Lan would leak the plan during the meeting and tell Xie Peng about inviting a male model to perform.
So, Xu Lisha said to Xie Peng again, "Mr. Xie, Miss Wen is joking. Some of our IELTS's internal operations have not been finalized yet, so I can't comment."
Wen Lan couldn't help laughing when she saw Xu Lisha's unnecessary behavior.
"Xu Lisha, Mr. Xie and I are having a great time drinking, please don't interrupt. Okay?"
"Wen Lan, please behave yourself! Your personal behavior does not represent IELTS! If you continue to speak without restraint, I will report it directly to the headquarters, or write a letter directly to the president's office."
When Xie Peng heard Xu Lisha say this, he looked at Wen Lan in confusion. How could the IELTS staff not know about her relationship with Bu Yufan?
The three of them were working so enthusiastically that no one noticed the IELTS boss Bu Yufan who arrived quietly.
To be honest, Bu Yufan's appearance caused quite a stir in the Kegley Banquet Hall.
In order to match Wen Lan's outfit, he changed into another set of clothes and hurried over.
A white VLTN suit, the fabric of the top is embellished with large exquisite white three-dimensional carvings. Such a difficult-to-control design actually makes him look cool and noble.
He followed Wen Lan, and wherever he passed, people's eyes followed him, all focused on this man with outstanding appearance and demeanor.
He saw her shining in the crowd and quickly chased after her.
"Beautiful girl!" He put his arms around her waist from behind, and when she turned her head to answer, he moved closer to her and kissed her lips.
"Husband?" Wen Lan was overjoyed. She hooked her hands around Bu Yufan's shoulders and pressed her body tightly against him.
"Every word my wife says and everything she does represents IELTS and me!" When Bu Yufan said this, he stared at Wen Lan without blinking, and their eyes met.
"There is no need to explain to anyone!" Having said this, he raised his eyes and glanced indifferently at the people around him.
"President Bu, it is an honor for us at Kegley to have you and your wife here." Xie Peng took the initiative to extend his hand.
"President? Madam? Husband, husband, husband, madam?" Xu Lisha on the side was dumbfounded.
Her super handsome crush turned out to be Bu Yufan, the president of IELTS Hotel Group?
And Wen Lan, the one whom she ridiculed as being just the general manager of IELTS Culture and Tourism, is actually the wife of IELTS’s big boss Bu Yufan?
Xu Lisha felt dizzy, guilty, and her legs went weak.
"Mr. Xie, nice to meet you!" Bu Yufan and Xie Peng shook hands.
Wen Lan hooked her arms around Bu Yufan's shoulders and refused to let go. Her fingers stroked the white three-dimensional flowers on his suit, and she looked at her man with admiration and longing.
"Brother-in-law, who is this?" Yao Susu asked Xie Peng softly.
Xie Peng took the opportunity to leave. He couldn't bear to see Wen Lan and Bu Yufan hugging each other affectionately, and he felt suffocated.
"What's wrong, Susu? You can't recognize him?" Xie Peng said coldly with a blank expression on his face for a moment.
"Me? Know him?" Yao Susu was confused.
"That night, you said that the person who hit and killed your sister was him."
Xie Peng suddenly turned around and looked back at Bu Yufan not far away, his eyes gloomy and cold.
Yao Susu's eyes flickered, and her breathing quickened. Her shoulders subconsciously sank, as if she had been hit by something and couldn't bear the burden.
"Sister, brother-in-law, it's been so long since this happened, and the police said it was an accident. Haven't you let it go yet?" She spoke these words intermittently.
"Let go? Should I let go?" Xie Peng's eyes turned to Wen Lan. He kept nodding and answering his own questions.
