CHAPTER 163: CHAPTER 145: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, RIGHT?_2

Gu Yanjing listened to her talk.

Qiao Yuxian was eating cream with a little spoon and continued, "Zhao Meng said that bed was waiting for me. By the way, Zhao Meng’s family company has a year-end celebration tomorrow night, and I need to go."

There was a slight change in Gu Yanjing’s expression.

Qiao Yuxian said, "All my roommates are going to have fun. The stress from finals review has been too much, and we need to relax a bit."

Gu Yanjing looked at the "too much pressure" in front of him.

Qiao Yuxian added, "Have you met Zhao Meng’s father? Did he send you an invitation?"

At the year-end, anyone who could reach the Gu Group would send an invitation.

But Gu Yanjing would only choose a few to attend.

For collaborations, to enhance their position in the Capital City.

He wouldn’t attend the remaining ninety-five percent.

He didn’t have much impression of Zhao Meng’s father.

But Meng Yan had investigated Zhao Meng’s background, and he knew about her family.

"Not really sure," Gu Yanjing said.

Invitations that didn’t require his attendance would mostly end up with Su Qi.

Some wouldn’t even reach Su Qi.

Qiao Yuxian nodded, looked at him with bright eyes, and said, "Help me pick an outfit later. I don’t know what to wear tomorrow."

"Okay."

...

At seven in the evening the next day, Qiao Yuxian entered the banquet hall.

The celebration started at six-thirty, and by the time she arrived at seven, there were already a lot of people.

Zhou Yunbing and Han Yangliu came with their parents.

Originally, their three families were in the Capital City but had little interaction.

Until the three of them lived in the same dorm, became good friends, and their parents began to have interactions and collaborations gradually.

This is also a kind of phenomenon of group development.

Less than two minutes after Qiao Yuxian arrived, she ran into Zhou Yunbing and Han Yangliu.

"Ahhhh. Yuxian." Zhou Yunbing rushed to her in high heels, lifting her dress.

Qiao Yuxian steadied her, "Be careful."

"You’ve reached a new level of beauty," Zhou Yunbing said, looking at her.

Last night, Qiao Yuxian had Gu Yanjing accompany her to pick clothes for nearly an hour.

Finally settled on this blue long dress.

The dress was quite form-fitting and stylish, understated with a hint of subtle allure.

Her hair was simply down with a sapphire hairpin tucked behind her left ear, with a touch of light makeup.

Mature and composed with a hint of playfulness.

Beautiful and stunning without overshadowing others.

"You two look beautiful too," Qiao Yuxian said, looking at their outfits, "You look like your aura has changed."

"Of course." Han Yangliu’s dress was a modified cheongsam type, "I’m about to enter the workforce. I can’t dress like a student anymore, or I’ll get bullied."

"Don’t worry, it’s not about what you’re wearing," Zhou Yunbing said, "The naive stupidity shines through the eyes."

Qiao Yuxian chuckled, "I hope you all can maintain this kind of naive stupidity forever."

"That would be so happy," Zhou Yunbing said, "It means we’re all going smooth sailing and are loved."

Han Yangliu also smiled, "My parents are over there. Do you want me to introduce you to some people to expand your network?"

The Qiao Family may have made it in the Capital City, but they aren’t well-known.

The Capital City already has its established dynamics.

For others coming to develop in the Capital City, lacking connections, it’s extremely difficult.

Qiao Yu spent over a decade to secure a foothold in the Capital City, but even after so many years, they’ve only secured a foothold. To further develop is as hard as reaching for the stars.

Han Yangliu wanted to lend her a helping hand.

"No need," Qiao Yuxian said, "I can’t use so many connections."

"What if you need them?" Zhou Yunbing said.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "I’m so beautiful today, I’m afraid they might be captivated by my charms."

As soon as she said that.

Zhou Yunbing and Han Yangliu immediately looked for a less crowded place, "There’s fewer people over there, let’s sit there."

The three of them found a less crowded place to sit, and it wasn’t long before Zhao Meng came over too.

Her parents were dragging her around to meet various people.

Because of her presence, the topics were always centered around her.

How old are you?

What do you want to do after graduation?

Do you have a boyfriend?

Should I introduce one to you?

Zhao Meng couldn’t really handle it and used the excuse of going to the restroom to sneak away.

The four of them were in a quiet corner, eating and drinking.

Fulfilling their initial purpose of attending the celebration.

However, it wasn’t long before the four of them went to a rest area nearby.

Because people kept coming over to ask Qiao Yuxian for her contact info, and others wanted to chat with her.

If it were another occasion, Qiao Yuxian would scare them away with just a glance.
