Chapter 320 Birthday Banquet
Miss Chu’s birthday banquet should officially start at seven o’clock in the evening.
But Su Chengyi has been receiving a series of fatal calls from her since the afternoon.
"Su Chengyi, are you up?"
"Su Chengyi, what are you doing."
"Su Chengyi, are you busy?"
".What on earth are you going to do?"
Su Chengyi raised his hand and made a "shhh" gesture, and the designer opposite felt relieved. Nod and stay quiet.
“If you are not busy, could you come over earlier and accompany me.”
“Why?”
Su Chengyi took a sip of strong tea and asked knowingly.
“Because it’s still a long time until night! I’m so bored alone.”
Chu Qingmian had already started rolling around on the bed, and Furui also seemed to The others nearby raised their paws and barked "woof, woof" as if to help.
"Today is a special day. I won't be treated as an idler and stopped at the door by the security guards, right?"
"Of course not! At the worst, I can ask Uncle Gao to come pick you up."
Chu Qingmian lay on the bed, ready to send a message to Uncle Gao.
“Not now, it has to be later.”
“Much later!”
“A lot.”
“.”

Before Miss Chu lost her temper, Su Chengyi smiled and hung up the phone.
It’s not that he was teasing the eldest lady on purpose, it was just because the custom-made dress had not been finalized yet.
Yeah, although it seems to be a bit of a joke.
"According to your design opinions, the finished product has been completed. You can now see what else needs to be changed."
The designer waited eagerly for a long time and saw him When I hung up, I finally got my chance.
It's like an arrow is on the string and the bow is fully drawn. If you don't let him show it off, he will have to choke to death.
"Okay."
Su Chengyi stood up and walked into the exhibition room.
The finished product is placed on a wooden frame and spread out, which is much more intuitive than the previous graphic design.
The overall color tone is designed to be light pink, which is exactly the color of the first blooming peach blossoms.
There are auspicious patterns on the cuffs, and the gold thread is all hand-sewn with fine stitches, which is a fine craftsmanship.
The overall pink and gold look is gorgeous and noble.
It is very suitable for Chu Qingmian, Su Chengyi couldn't help but think, it is really suitable.
She is the only one in the world who is most suitable for such a color.
“It’s beautiful, nothing needs to be changed.”
Su Chengyi reached out and touched his cuffs. The silk was soft and he nodded approvingly.
The designer, who had been nervous all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For some reason, he felt that this order was the most difficult one he had ever taken on in his career.
On the one hand, I feel a little unappreciated for this proud work, but on the other hand, I feel an inexplicable sense of oppression brought by the young man in front of me.
Although his tone of voice can even be considered gentle, his scrutinizing eyes always make people feel a little sweaty.
"Please wrap it up for me."
Su Chengyi lowered his head and looked at his watch. It was not too early anymore.
“Ah, okay.”
The designer was wandering in a daze, and he only reacted after he reminded him.
It’s a pity that I haven’t explained my design ideas and the research and significance of the pattern.
"Your creativity and craftsmanship are very good. If there is a need next time, I hope to cooperate again."
Su Chengyi lifted the packaging bag from the counter, freed his hand, and shook it gently.
The designer did not expect to receive such praise from him. He was flattered and the disappointment he felt just now was gone.
While getting into the taxi, Su Chengyi sent the picture of the dress she just took casually to Zou Lian.
"How?"
Zou Lian's status bar quickly changed to "The other party is typing."
But it wasn't until two minutes later that he sent a message - ".Nothing more than that."
Su Chengyi raised the corners of his lips and did not argue with him.
Anyway, he provided this idea.
Only Su Chengyi attended today's birthday party, and several other friends did not come.
Chu Qingmian wanted to ask them to come, but no one was willing.
Because everyone who has participated in it before knows that such a banquet is not the kind of entertainment party that young people like at all, but a serious business banquet.
There was no singing or dancing, no drinking and drinking games, and no ambiguous eye contact.
The "upper-class people" who only chat politely with glasses of wine hide their secrets inside and outside their words. If you say the wrong thing, you can easily offend someone.
Both Xu Yang and Han Bing participated last year. Xu Yang said it felt like being in jail for three hours, and Han Bing said she laughed awkwardly the whole time while holding a glass of wine, without touching a single handsome guy. Come on, there are all uncles in their forties and above.
Xu Yang laughed at her and said, isn't this the domineering president you girls like?
Han Bingbing said with a smile, the handsome one is called the domineering president. He looks like the one in the banquet hall. We usually call him "entrepreneur".
In short, these two people are unwilling to come this year.
Not to mention Lin Tong, he was originally most afraid of this kind of situation and would not come even to death.
Thinking of the last time Xu Yang dragged her to Ms. Jian Xiao’s homecoming welcome banquet, the horrific scene was still vivid in her mind. Just thinking about it gave Lin Tong goosebumps all over her body, and she shook her head immediately. Rattle.
So, in the end, only Su Chengyi came to participate.
That is to say, he has changed his gender now. If it were before, he might have refused faster and more firmly than the others.
The taxi stopped at an intersection about a hundred meters away from Chu Qingmian's home. There was no other reason than that the road was blocked.
Su Chengyi opened the car door and jumped out, looking up.
There were more luxury cars parked on the roadside than he had ever seen in his entire life. They were so dazzling and overwhelming.
He seemed to be the only one in the audience who came here just after taking a taxi, so naturally some eyes were cast towards him with some doubts.
Su Chengyi took it indifferently, just lowered his head and straightened the cuffs of his suit.
The car he rides is a yellow Ferrari, and he knows the value of it.
There was a doorman at the gate who was responsible for checking invitations. Su Chengyi didn't remember until he reached the door.
No, no one seems to have told him about the invitation letter?
So he paused and thought for a moment whether he should call Miss Chu and ask.
"Friend, are you sure you are on the right track?"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Su Chengyi was slightly startled and turned around.
He is a man who looks to be in his early thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with his hair slicked back.
"Do you have the invitation letter?"
The man's eyes looked at him from top to bottom, with a bit of disdain and scrutiny from a typical upper class person.
"I don't think so."
Su Chengyi smiled slightly.
"Then why are you here to join in the fun, young man. It's not a good habit to take advantage of every opportunity."
The man took a breath of air from his nose, and then said earnestly:
"I have seen countless young people like you. I just want to get close to Miss Chu, and I want to leave." Shortcut?
Young man, there are no shortcuts in life!
Who is Miss Chu? Don’t you know the thoughts of pretty boys like you? Don’t just rely on your good looks to do whatever you want. In today’s society, it’s not about your appearance.” Su Chengyi was pretending to listen carefully, nodding from time to time, and there were people watching inside the door. When he arrived, he waved and said hello from afar:
"Master Su!"
Su Chengyi glanced sideways, it was Butler Han.
"When did you arrive? I'm so sorry, the lady asked me to wait here for you."
Butler Han wiped the sweat from running all the way with the hand towel in his pocket , with an apology in his tone.
“There was something wrong with the process just now, so I went to check it out. I’m really sorry.”
"It's okay, I just arrived."
Su Chengyi replied with a smile.
"What are you doing?"
Butler Han just saw the oily man behind him talking to Su Chengyi, but he was too far away to hear what they were saying.
Now it was the man's turn to sweat profusely. The sweat on his forehead almost melted the carefully applied hairspray.
What's going on? Why did the Chu family's housekeeper speak to this boy in such a polite tone?
Although the butler is a service staff, his status is not low. In other words, the butler's attitude largely represents the attitude of the owner.
That means.
Su Chengyi gave the man a meaningful look, which sent a chill down his back.
“Nothing, just chat.”
Su Chengyi changed the topic and raised the corner of his mouth again.
"Okay, let's go then. The lady has been waiting for you for a long time. In five minutes, she will ask me if you are here."
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, the man only felt that My heart is heavy.
It's really unlucky that we got off to a bad start. Who would have thought that just educating a kid at the door would hit the wall?
The carefully prepared gifts seem useless, otherwise I would have to go home now.
The man looked up at the wall of the Chu family manor and sighed deeply.
Butler Han took Su Chengyi on a side road, passing through the small garden and going around to the side door.
It is the cold winter, when everything is sleeping, but the small garden of the Chu family has a unique scenery. It is still full of flowers and full of vitality.
A quiet corner, like a small part of spring frozen.
Aware of his eyes, Butler Han smiled and spoke with a slightly proud tone.
"Miss likes flowers, and this place is designed according to her wishes. What to put here, what to put there, every season, Miss has unique thoughts."
Su Chengyi imagined Chu Qing Mian Beng jumped up and down to make arrangements for others, and couldn't help but laugh too.
Walking along the way, this side of the small garden is different from the European-style building at the gate. It is a Chinese-style courtyard.
The winding path leads to a secluded place, and there is even a complete Su family garden inside.
Su Chengyi secretly sighed, the world of rich people is indeed difficult to understand.
Seeing that he was looking seriously, Butler Han opened his mouth.
“The stone lion here used to be placed on the other side. The lady was sleepy once and accidentally bumped into it and knocked her head. The husband sent someone to move it away.”
“ This is the piano room where Miss practices guzheng. She said that practicing in the bamboo forest feels like an ancient heroine. "When Miss was unhappy when she was a child, she always hid in this corner."
< br>When walking around a corner, Butler Han pointed to the corner.
Su Chengyi turned his head and looked over. There was a small hole in the middle of the rockery, about enough for a child to hide in.
"Mr. has discovered it a long time ago, but told us not to make it public, otherwise she will know that she has been discovered and will move to another place next time."
Butler Han said, suppressing a smile.
Su Chengyi also laughed. Chu Qingmian had always had such a pure and innocent temperament since she was a child. She was completely stupid and sweet.
Thinking like this, Su Chengyi approached the rockery.
The hole was not big, and it was impossible for him to get in with his current body shape, so he just leaned on his elbow and looked inside.
The space inside the rockery is not small, it is smooth and clean, and you can see the clear blue sky when you look up.
How should I put it? It is a very safe structure.
Children seem to like to find such a secret base for themselves.
Su Chengyi thought that his secret base could be said to be his grandfather's house. When Chen Jinzhi was a child, she liked to hide in the closet, so her secret base was the closet. Only Miss Chu’s secret base requires certain financial support.
When Su Chengyi turned sideways and prepared to exit, the sun shone into the interior of the rockery and illuminated the mountain wall.
There seemed to be some densely packed small characters, and Su Chengyi paused.
He frowned and took a look. The light was still a little dim and he couldn't see clearly. He hesitated for a moment, then took out his cell phone from his suit trouser pocket and turned on the flashlight.
The small characters on the wall seem to be carved out with sharp stones, one stroke at a time, very neat, it is the font of a child.
“Not happy today.”
"Tired."
"Don't like the piano."
"Miss Xiaobai."
"Mianmian is not happy."
Su Chengyi turned off Got a flashlight.
As a child, Chu Qingmian had a limited amount of literacy, so she could only repeat these simple sentences over and over again.
But the walls inside were densely covered with her hidden emotions of loss.
When I emerge from the rockery, I want to be the perfect young lady again.
Su Chengyi suddenly felt a little sad.
Butler Han didn't know why the young master in front of him suddenly became depressed, and he followed him with some confusion.
Su Chengyi raised his hand just in time to block Butler Han's inquiring gaze.
"It's okay, let's go."
He said so. Even though Butler Han felt something was wrong, he had no choice but to suppress his doubts.
Going through the long corridor in front is the side door.
Su Chengyi put his hands in his suit pockets and thought silently.
If she knew that her little secret had been discovered, both Miss Chu back then and Miss Chu now would be furious.
Butler Han only took him to the door of Chu Qingmian's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door three times in a polite manner.
The person who opened the door was a woman who looked like a nanny.
"Master Su, the lady is waiting for you inside."
Butler Han raised his hand respectfully and continued:
"If you don't have any instructions, I'll go and get busy first."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Su Chengyi nodded and followed the nanny inside.
This is different from the room Chu Qingmian visited before. It has a higher floor and fewer fancy decorations. It seems to be newly decorated.
The mahogany floor was so clean that there was not even a hair on it. Su Chengyi walked lightly, walked dozens of steps, and finally met today's protagonist.
Chu Qingmian closed her eyes and was surrounded by a circle of people, who seemed to be dressing her up for tonight's event.
There is no room for mistakes in every step of the makeup artist. Under the exquisite makeup, Chu Qingmian is as perfect as the elf princess model in the game.
The floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the light of the setting sun, but made her profile look even colder.
Su Chengyi did not approach, but stood there and watched for a while.
After a long time, the makeup artist whispered that it was time to open her eyes. Chu Qingmian was very obedient, and her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly and slowly raised.
She didn't look in the mirror for the first time, but looked in the direction of the door.
When he saw Su Chengyi standing against the wall with her arms folded, a smile quickly spread from her beautiful and clear eyes.
The whole picture has regained its vitality and become vivid and hot.
