MTL - After I Was Reborn, I Devoted Myself To My Career-Chapter 42 banquet

Seeing Gu Ze as soon as he turned his head, Qi Zhaohan was a little caught off guard, but he quickly came back to his senses, his surprise was in his eyes, and he nodded calmly: "It's a coincidence that I can meet you in S City."

Gu Ze shook hands and continued to chat: "It's really a coincidence, I thought you were in City C now..."

"You know, I have something to do here." Qi Zhaohan said vaguely.

Although Gu Ze knew that he had been reborn, he still had to worry about other people around him, so he spoke very vaguely.

Gu Ze understood that Qi Zhaohan was reborn a few months earlier than him, so he must have already made arrangements, and thinking about the stock market explosion a month ago, he must have been dealing with these things in S City.

After talking about these few words, the two seemed to have nothing to say again.

Qi Zhaohan thought of one thing, and said, "I borrowed a sum of money from you before, and I will pay you back in a few months."

The reason why Gu Ze came to S City, he knew very well, the other party was talented in business, he had not only been chasing after the other party emotionally in his previous life, but also had been falling behind in his career.

It's just that I have an earlier opportunity than him in this life, so it seems that he is more successful.

Now that Gu Ze has been reborn, I believe that in the near future, a new star will gradually rise in the business world just like in his previous life.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with him.

Now that he has made up his mind that he doesn't want to have anything to do with Gu Ze anymore, then the money he borrowed before should be returned with all the benefits.

Hearing this, Gu Ze was stunned for a moment. He retrieved the incident from his memory, "No need, I gave it to you."

"I made it very clear at the time that there will be no less than one point that should be paid back. I don't like to owe others." I will not owe Gu Ze.

Gu Ze pursed his lips slightly and lowered his eyelids: "Are you drawing a line?"

"Just kidding, we have always been very different." Qi Zhaohan said with a light smile.

Whether it was Gu Ze's avoidance and escape in his previous life, or his epiphany and giving up in this life, there will always be a gap between the two of them.

He never complained about Gu Ze, Gu Ze did the right thing, even if he didn't like him, he always maintained basic respect for him.

He just didn't want himself to repeat the same mistakes again, some mistakes that shouldn't exist, it's better to stay away early.

"Does it have to be so clearly divided? We really..." Can't be friends?

The lower Gu Ze's voice became, the last sentence was kept in his mouth and he didn't say it.

"Gu Ze, you are very strange. After you came back, I can't understand you more and more." Qi Zhaohan looked at him with complicated eyes.

Gu Ze was inexplicably stubborn about whether the two were still friends, so stubborn that he felt a little ridiculous.

Zhao Yue was keenly aware that the atmosphere between the two was not right when they started chatting. She sat obediently on the seat, not daring to make any movement, silently stirring the coffee, trying to minimize her presence feel.

But she only put one piece of sugar cube, and the coffee was not too sweet, she carefully observed the expressions of the two of them, and made sure that neither of them noticed her movement, so she immediately went to take a cube of sugar in peace of mind.

It's a pity that the hand was not steady, and the sugar cube fell into the coffee all of a sudden, and the quiet atmosphere was broken with a "grunt".

Gu Ze was speechless when asked, and he didn't know what was wrong with him. After Qi Zhaohan expressed his attitude, he should be happy, not panicked.

He didn't dare to delve into the meaning of it, so he could only desperately hold on to the excuse of the only reasonable relationship between the two, as if it would make him feel more at ease.

Qi Zhaohan's blunt questioning made him unable to answer, he opened his mouth in a loud voice, but couldn't speak.

The sound of sugar cubes falling into the coffee saved him. As if he had caught a life-saving straw, his eyes lit up, and he quickly changed the subject: "Who is this?"

"Hi, my name is Zhao Yue." Seeing that she couldn't hide, Zhao Yue lowered her head and put on a bitter face, then raised her head and put on a smiling face, stood up and shook hands.

"I'll buy this order." Gu Ze reached out to take out his wallet.

Qi Zhaohan raised his hand and grabbed his arm, preventing him from moving: "You don't need to spend money, I have already paid the bill."

Gu Ze raised his hands in the air, his face a little embarrassed.

The little girl Zhao Yue is very alert. She noticed that her brother Zhaohan seemed to be a little impatient, so she quickly said: "I'm done drinking, Brother Zhaohan has something to do later, we have to go first."

Qi Zhaohan didn't want to talk to Gu Ze any more, so he stood up, and the two passed each other, saying in a very distant tone, "Thank you for your kindness, goodbye."

Gu Ze stood where he was, and saw from the window the boys and girls walking away side by side, they looked like a perfect match from the back.

He silently raised his hand to hold his beating heart.

The coffee shop waiter watched the interaction between several people from beginning to end, until the two walked out, the young man was still watching, like a watchdog.

The waiter thought about it, amused by his own thoughts, what could be going on between the two boys...

———

When Gu Ze returned to his uncle's house, it was getting dark.

Uncle was sitting on the sofa watching TV, changing channels with the remote control in his hand, saw him coming in, and beckoned him to come and sit down.

Gu Ze had adjusted his emotions along the way, and he looked like a handsome young man, so he sat down as promised.

"How is your recent investigation going? Is there any industry you are interested in?" Ning Duli asked concerned.

The Ning family is based in City B, but he didn't want to compete with his elder brother for the company's rights, so he simply came to S City to work hard, and with all the resources of the Ning family, he has now established a company, and the development is also very good. He also won the title of "Young Entrepreneur" two years ago.

Before he went to live in B City for a while, he accidentally ran into his sister's son. Although he only saw him during the Chinese New Year, it did not delay his closeness to his nephew. Especially after the conversation, he has a better impression of his nephew.

Later, when he was about to leave, his nephew offered to come to S City with him, saying that he wanted to exercise himself. He was surprised but also very pleased, and decided to bring his nephew to S City.

"It's almost there, I decided to enter the real estate industry." Gu Ze replied thoughtfully.

"Real estate? That's fine." Ning Duli pondered.

"But these can be discussed later, there is a charity dinner tonight, do you want to go with me?" Ning Duli asked.

"...Okay." Now he urgently needs to suppress his complicated thoughts, no matter where he goes, it's better to be more lively.

———

Every man has a female companion in his arms, or whispering intimately or whispering something. Most of the female companions are very glamorous, with good looks and graceful postures. Seems to be the star.

After submitting the invitation letter, Qi Zhaohan walked slowly into the hall.

This banquet is a charity auction dinner, that is, each of the guests puts out one item for auction, and all proceeds from the auction will be donated to the foundation. It is not as rigorous as last time, but it is actually just an alternative exchange banquet.

There were people everywhere, Qi Zhaohan clicked his tongue softly, took a glass of wine, and sat on the sofa like last time.

This kind of ordinary banquet is actually not very meaningful. If the lower level wants to rely on such a banquet to climb up to the big boss, which big boss would condescend to talk to someone he doesn't know well without a recommendation? The banquet is just like bait, hanging those people or companies who want to go further, so that they can have a thought.

Zhou Minghao tugged on his bow tie, and followed Zhou Shen with a smirk.

He has long been impatient with Zhou Shen, and he will bring whoever he likes to the banquet in the future. He doesn't care at all, but his mother refuses to let it. She thinks this is a good opportunity to announce the real heir of the Zhou family. Let him follow.

He can throw face at Zhou Shen, but when facing his mother, he can only obey.

Zhou Shen glanced at him, hating iron for not becoming steel: "You can't be like your brother? What does it look like to be a fool?!"

"Say one more word about that bastard, let's see if I dare to let you down on the spot?" Zhou Minghao approached his father and said in a low voice.

"You!" Zhou Shen glared at his bastard.

Zhou Minghao was not afraid of his anger. His eyes wandered around the crowd, and suddenly fixed on one point, and he couldn't move his eyes away.

"Okay, so that you don't die soon, I'll slip away first." Zhou Minghao found an excuse and got into the crowd.

"Zhaohan! You're here too." The person Zhou Minghao saw was Qi Zhaohan, and now he was completely at a loss for what to do instead of being arrogant in front of Zhou Shen.

Turning his face to see Zhou Minghao, Qi Zhaohan was also very surprised: "Yeah, we meet again." He patted the empty seat next to him and signaled Zhou Minghao to sit over.

His image of Zhou Minghao was very good, but he was a little irritable, but that's the case with young people, so it doesn't hurt.

Zhou Minghao hurriedly sat over and tried to find a topic: "Zhaohan, are you alone?" He knew that Qi Zhaohan had a company in S City, but he didn't know about the others. After all, the two had known each other for a short time, and he also I dare not ask more questions.

"Yeah, what about you?"

"I came with my father. He went to talk with his partner, leaving me alone." Zhou Minghao distorted the facts without changing his face.

In fact, Zhou Shen was patting his chest angrily.

Qi Zhaohan nodded knowingly.

"Zhaohan?" Another voice came from behind.

Gu Ze stepped forward, touched Qi Zhaohan's wine glass lightly, with a natural expression.

He had seen Qi Zhaohan's figure early on, but because of Qi Zhaohan's conversation with him, he didn't dare to disturb him, and stood aside silently watching.

Until a boy leaned over, seeing that the two of them had a good conversation and were very familiar, they probably had known each other for a while.

The uncomfortable feeling in his heart rose again, and there seemed to be a bitter taste in his mouth.

Seeing that the conversation between the two was getting better, he didn't know what his purpose was, he just wanted to interrupt the conversation between the two.

Zhou Minghao looked at the standing boy: "Who is this?"

Qi Zhaohan felt very helpless, what is the situation, he met Gu Ze twice in one day.

Hearing Zhou Minghao's question, he stood up and introduced, "His name is Gu Ze, he is..." Qi Zhaohan was a little stuck.

"We grew up together." Gu Ze took over the conversation, he didn't mention the word "friends", but Zhou Minghao misunderstood the relationship he said.

"So it's Zhaohan's good friend, sit down quickly." Zhou Minghao became more enthusiastic immediately.

Qi Zhaohan glanced at Gu Ze, and felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong...

Gu Ze sat down politely, and the three of them were now in a rather strange sitting posture.

He sat in the middle by himself, Gu Ze was on his left, Zhou Minghao was on his right, and the whole sofa was filled to the brim.

The three of them were very close, arm to arm.

Qi Zhaohan didn't want to get too close to Gu Ze, so he moved towards Zhou Minghao, attracting Gu Ze's gaze.

Zhou Minghao didn't notice the undercurrent between the two, and said enthusiastically, "I know, you are all from City C, right? I have been to City C before, and the scenery there is beautiful."

"You are welcome to come and play, I can show you around." Qi Zhaohan tried his best to ignore the heat emanating from Gu Ze, turned his head and smiled at Zhou Minghao.

"Okay, that's it. I'll go find you guys after I'm on vacation." Zhou Minghao was delighted with Qi Zhaohan's promise to him.

Gu Ze looked at Qi Zhaohan's avoidance, his eyes darkened, and his heart suddenly felt sad. He cheered up and raised his glass to Zhou Minghao: "Okay, it's a deal."

"Xiaohan? Why are you sitting here? Come here, uncle will talk to you a few words." Hu Hao was talking with someone, and he walked to the edge of the crowd unconsciously, and when he looked up, he saw Qi Zhaohan sitting on the sofa, He thought of what he wanted to mention, so he came over to talk to Qi Zhaohan.

Qi Zhaohan always felt that the atmosphere among the three was a bit weird, so he took advantage of the situation to stand up and said, "Okay, then let's go over there and talk."

Hu Hao said kindly to the two teenagers on the sofa, "It's fun here."

The two walked to a window sill, and Hu Hao said: "Your investment company seems to be on the right track. Uncle has a few companies worth investing in. I will bring you the information when the time comes. You can take a look."

Qi Zhaohan looked at Hu Hao in surprise, why did he become so familiar all of a sudden? This intimate tone, as if the two are really uncles and nephews.

Hu Hao naturally also saw his expression, and said with a smile: "It seems that your father didn't tell you last time that your father and I are good friends. When we were in school, we two shared bunk beds."

Qi Zhaohan was even more surprised, he had never heard his father talk about Hu Hao: "Sorry, I really..."

"Otherwise, do you really think that I am the kind of person who is particularly helpful? I know your father's character. He will not ask for help unless it is absolutely necessary, so I have never told you about me. I don't want you to get help from me." Help." Hu Hao reached out and touched his head with a loving face.

But how could he just watch his old friend's child fall a big somersault just as he set off, so he personally selected a few documents and sent them to him.

"Okay, let's not talk about other things. These companies are generally recognized as having good prospects. Many venture capital companies have already injected capital. It will be listed in about half a year. Xiaohan, you can try to invest." Hu Hao said .

The meaning in his words is obvious, as long as these companies are injected with capital, they can make money lying down.

This means that the way of making money has been paved in front of him, just waiting for him to lift his feet and walk up.

After sorting it out, Qi Zhaohan suddenly realized that he had never been to S City in his previous life, and his father was still accompanying his mother looking for famous doctors everywhere, and he rarely spent time at home, let alone mention Hu Hao inexplicably.

And Hu Hao's downfall came after his father's death, which is even more impossible to mention.

Qi Zhaohan whispered: "Thank you, Uncle Hu."

He accepted the kindness.

However, since they are acquaintances, they cannot just watch Hu Hao slide into the abyss.

the other side

The two watched Qi Zhaohan leave.

Zhou Minghao was a little disappointed, but he cheered up immediately. The boy next to him was Zhaohan's good friend, so he had to get acquainted.

He also took a glass of champagne from the passing waiter's tray, and raised his glass to Gu Ze with a smile on his face: "I am the host in S City, if you want to have fun, come to me."

Gu Ze didn't say a word, he took a deep look at Zhou Minghao, and suddenly asked, "When did you and Xiaohan meet?"

"Ah?" When asked this question by surprise, Zhou Minghao was stunned. He recalled: "The first time was at a banquet a few months ago, and Zhaohan was sitting by the side like this..."

He had a distinct smile on his face as he spoke, and a strange atmosphere rippling through him.

Gu Ze suppressed his irritability, looked at Zhou Minghao's expression, and suddenly his perception of him fell to the bottom.

That irritating feeling was like he was watching something important to him was about to get out of his control, and he could only watch helplessly.

Gu Ze had an inexplicable feeling that he and this person probably wouldn't be friends anymore.

The author has something to say:

Pfft, I feel like I can't finish this chapter, I can't stop writing, and then it's too late.

Because there are 1500 more

I'm so sorry.

this meeting

Gu Ze is a black belly, he has realized something

Zhou Minghao is a fool, he thought Gu Ze was his uncle.
