Universe Infinite Canteen
Chapter 664: Banquet
However, in the face of Lu Yingying's concern, Ma Lu still refused, "Forget it, this is a matter of virtue and celebrity. It's better not to drag President Lu into the water."
"It doesn't matter, this isn't the first time I've caused trouble for my dad," Lu Yingying insisted, "My dad's chamber of commerce doesn't have much business in Pingcheng, and I'm just a woman. If I really cause any big trouble, I just went and cried. Luo was worried about his face and would not be able to hold on to this matter any longer.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. I have plenty of ways to protect myself."
"The main reason is that I already have a female companion." Ma Lu said.
"Who?" Lu Yingying immediately became alert.
"Teacher Cao," Ma Lu said, "I agreed to her first, and she is more familiar with the big and small forces in Pingcheng than I am."
"Cao Youyi, um... Indeed, she may do a good job in managing students, but I doubt whether she can handle the hypocritical entertainment at the dinner."
Lu Yingying didn't want to give up yet, "I'm an expert in this field. I've attended hundreds of dinners and dances. You won't regret taking me with you."
…………
In a luxurious room on the fourth floor of the Liuguo Hotel.
A young man in a suit stood in front of the window, looking at the street below with a pair of triangular eyes, "Director Ye from the police station and his wife are also here."
After saying that, he looked at the grandfather clock on the wall and said, "It's 6:48. There are less than 12 minutes left before the dinner starts. He probably won't come."
"That's just right. Let's talk directly to the local forces in Pingcheng and let them take action together to help us drive Houde out. When the time comes, Principal Ma will come to beg us."
A middle-aged man with half-white hair, probably in his early fifties, and elegant appearance said.
"But Houde is the only talisman school in Pingcheng after all," the young man said, "and they have been very active in cleaning up the disaster belt recently. If they are really forced to leave, these people will have to wait until the disaster belt comes again. We went to other cities to ask other Talisman schools to solve the problem. Are they really willing to cooperate with us? "
As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes, smoked one and held it in his mouth, then took out a box of matches and looked at the portrait of Malu printed on the matchbox.
"If you ask me to say that you are just causing too much trouble, you might as well do as I say and let the Ministry of Education find an excuse from the beginning to directly deprive Houde of his qualification to run a school. Then that kid will not be able to make any waves. There won't be so many things later.
"Xia Yin has lost such a great person, and now the ignorant country people outside are laughing at us. In the end, it will still be your face."
He struck a match and lit the cigarette in his mouth, but as soon as he took a puff, the middle-aged man reached out and snuffed it out.
The latter said, "Don't bother the president for trivial matters. What we have to do is to share the president's worries."
After saying that, he threw the cigarette into the trash can, "Smoke less, you look like this, how can I trust you to hand over the group to you."
The young man smiled and said, "I'm just here to share your worries. If someone doesn't open their eyes later, I'll show him some color first."
The middle-aged man shook his head, "This is not a new capital after all. We should focus on wooing the local forces. Don't mess around. I have my own way to convince them to help us deal with Houde."
Seeing that it was almost time, he adjusted his gown, took the felt hat from the young man, got up and went downstairs.
The dinner was held in the banquet hall on the first floor. The guests had almost arrived at this time. The middle-aged men and young people attracted the attention of everyone as soon as they appeared.
People nearby came forward to say hello, "Boss Luo, Mr. Luo."
Luo Xiangshi returned the greetings one by one with a warm expression, while the second son who followed him looked carefree and didn't care about the people who came up to him to get acquainted.
His eyes roamed the crowd, looking for tonight's prey.
The upper class in Xindu all know that Luo Xiangshi's son Luo Yuxiang is a romantic young man who has unexplained relationships with many celebrities.
He doesn't know who among the female guests tonight will be attracted to him.
Of course, the person Luo Yuxiang wants most is the big star Chen Meng, but the identity of the financial backer behind Chen Meng is not simple. Even he dare not touch this woman, so tonight he can only find someone else.
It's a pity that Pingcheng is not as good as Xindu. There are many good-looking women, but not many can catch his eye.
Just as Luo Yuxiang was looking around, an open car parked outside the hotel gate.
Three people, a man and two women, got out of the car. Luo Yuxiang's eyes lit up when he saw the two women.
One of the two people is wearing a black cheongsam and is serious, like a snow lotus on the iceberg, and the other is wearing a dress. They are pure and pretty, naive, one is cold, one is hot, one is ice, one is fire, both are stunning in the world.
The man standing next to the two women, Luo Yuxiang, looked familiar, but he didn't remember his name for a while.
It wasn't until he heard someone mention that this was Houde's newly appointed Principal Ma, a man of the hour in Pingcheng in the past month or so, that he suddenly wanted to forget that he had ever seen this person's picture on a matchbox.
Lu Yingying got out of the car and handed the car keys to the waiter on the side. Then she looked into the hotel and muttered.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
"It's okay, okay, I'm not late after all. I'll just say my driving skills are pretty good."
"If you hadn't hit other cars, we should have arrived 20 minutes ago." Ma Lu said.
"It's good that it didn't interfere with the business." Cao Youyi said calmly.
She was not as calm as she looked, especially when she heard that Ma Lu was going to take her and Lu Yingying with him, her first reaction was to refuse.
However, both Ma Lu and Lu Yingying were outsiders and were not familiar with Pingcheng. They still needed her, a local, to at least help them sort out the backers behind these forces and the relationship between them.
So Cao Youyi came despite her hesitation.
Before Ma Lu entered the banquet hall, he saw a young man walking towards him.
"Principal Ma, you are so lucky."
"Who are you?" Ma Lu raised his eyebrows.
"I am Luo Yuxiang, a director of Mingxia Group. Thanks to Principal Ma, I am currently serving as the director of the Academic Affairs Office of Xiayin." Luo Yuxiang stretched out his hand.
But Ma Lu on the other side was indifferent, "You are not qualified to shake hands with me, go call your father."
Luo Yuxiang's face changed slightly, and he leaned close to Ma Lu's ear, "It's useless to bluff. After so much time, we have already figured out your background. Principal Ma, you don't have any backers behind you."
"Really? Then your investigation level is not very good," Ma Lu said, "You didn't even find out where I went after leaving Houde?"
