Chapter 587 Auction Invitation
Murong Qiao reached for his mobile phone and quickly connected to Jiang Chi's call.
"Hello?" Murong Qiao agreed.
Jiang Chi, who was holding a mobile phone on the other side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the voice from the other end was from Murong Qiao.
"Sorry to interrupt, the company is fine, Master Murong asked me to call." Jiang Chi immediately explained the reason.
Last night Murong Chen called Murong Qiao, but after being hung up, he called again after a while and didn't answer, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
But because there were other arrangements today, and the phone was not connected, this matter had to be handed over to Jiang Chi to see the situation.
Fortunately, Murong Qiao is fine.
Knowing that it wasn't something important that was delayed, Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time vaguely brought up what happened last night with Jiang Chi.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
Jiang Chi explained briefly, "Master Murong was invited to participate in the charity auction and wants to take you along."
Afterwards, Murong Qiao learned about the specific situation from Jiang Chi.
Charity auctions are the norm in the upper class. This time the party was held by a prestigious old man from the Shen family. This time, everyone who could be invited was invited.
There will be a lot of people there, and Murong Chen just wanted to take Murong Qiao there to get to know more people.
Murong Qiao naturally agreed, then hung up Jiang Chi's call, and prepared to get up.
The effects of the hangover gradually eased a lot. Although he was still a little light when he stepped on the ground, Murong Qiao still changed his clothes and went out.
"Aren't you going to rest for a while?" Huo Yichen noticed and looked at her the first time she came out.
Murong Qiao put ice cubes on his face to make himself more awake. "Can't stay in bed."
"It just so happened," Huo Yichen looked at her, "the Huo family was invited to a charity auction in a while, do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Although the two of them are together in a fair and honest way now, without the restrictions that Huo Hong had before, Huo Yichen still can't help but want to take Murong Qiao with him when he wants to attend events like auctions.
wants to show his treasures to everyone.
"Auction?" Murong Qiao was taken aback.
A premonition that it might really be such a coincidence emerged in her heart, and then she asked one more question.
"The one invited by the Shen family?" She thought of what Jiang Chi said just now.
Huo Yichen nodded, but it's not surprising that she would know.
After all, the Huo family has received the invitation, and the Murong family is no exception.
"That...may not work." Murong Qiao scratched his cheek with his fingers.
As long as Huo Yichen said earlier—
Thinking of going back to the elder brother that I just promised, I can't go back and follow Huo Yichen.
Although she was really moved, if the eldest brother knew that she had rejected his invitation to go with Huo Yichen, it would be inevitable to meet at the scene...
The scene was really scary, but Murong Qiao lost the courage to continue imagining it.
"My brother told me just now, and I agreed to it." Murong Qiao explained the situation helplessly.
Huo Yichen understood, "It doesn't matter if we can meet again at that time."
He had some regrets in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
I just wrote it down with some regret, so that I can invite you earlier next time, so as not to be preempted.
"I can't help it, I promise my brother first." Murong Qiao nodded.
Since I slept last night until now, I have almost slept for a full twelve hours. It is strange that I am not hungry.
Murong Qiao stretched his waist and looked at Huo Yichen. "I'm going out for lunch, do you want to go with me?"
It's a pity that Huo Yichen is currently entangled in company affairs, so he has to regretfully reject Murong Qiao's invitation.
He left the company for several days, and many matters that needed to be decided by him piled up, and Huo Yichen couldn't handle them all at once.
Murong Qiao had no choice but to go out first, followed the route map on the corridor for a few detours, and finally arrived at the restaurant that comes with the hotel.
The decoration of the restaurant is very stylish, and the whole is integrated with nature. Whether it is the flowers and plants along the corridor or the main design of the green system, it makes people feel like they are in the forest.
Lunch is in the form of a buffet, but Murong Qiao came early at this moment, but there is no one there yet, only the waiters are walking around.
She picked out a sandwich and an omelette and planned to find a place to sit.
"Miss Murong!"
Murong Qiao recognized that it was Zuo Qing's voice, so he turned his head to look in the direction of the source of the sound.
I saw Zuo Qing sitting alone at a table by the window, waving at her enthusiastically.
Zuo Qing greeted her with a smile, "Let's have dinner together!"
"Why don't you see your boyfriend?" Murong Qiao walked over with kindness and asked casually, taking the position opposite her.
"He—he's stuck in bed!" Zuo Qing made an excuse, with guilt flashing across her eyes.
Last night, she drank a little too much. She pestered Yue Ziyu to play games with her, but she agreed to go to bed after winning a game. It turned out to be like a magical spell, and she insisted on playing until three o'clock in the morning.
Later Zuo Qing fell asleep, and it was Yue Ziyu who played her in the second half of the round, so Yue Ziyu hadn't woken up yet.
In fact, she thought it would affect the recording of today's show, but the director suddenly said that the time was changed to the afternoon, which was more convenient for them.
Murong Qiao didn't bother to ask, and simply buried himself in his own "breakfast".
But Zuo Qing is obviously not a quiet character, "Last night, you seemed to drink too much, are you okay?"
"...It's okay." Murong Qiao hesitated for a moment before replying.
Facing Zuo Qing's very kind concern, she couldn't help but think of that ambiguous picture again in her mind.
"That's good, we were a little worried after you left last night, but then we went to play truth or dare, it was so exciting..."
Zuo Qing's topic changed back and forth, and the fast Murong Qiao had to concentrate on listening.
They are both couples and young people, and they are still recording the show, so everyone is playing with high interest.
It's just that Zuo Qing always felt that Lu Ruman's interest was not too high at that time. Although she also said that she was uncomfortable, Zuo Qing intuitively felt that the other party was absent-minded, and her attention seemed to always be on other things.
"In short, it must be a loss that you weren't here last night! But we played so exciting!" Zuo Qing was determined.
Murong Qiao was about to nod when he heard footsteps approaching behind him.
"Good afternoon." The person who came was Lu Ruman.
She came over with her own breakfast, and with a smile on her face, she pulled the chair between Murong Qiao and Zuo Qing and sat down.
Zuo Qing frowned, and suddenly she didn't like this Lu Ruman who came uninvited and sat down without asking whether they agreed or not.
Lu Ruman didn't notice Zuo Qing's disgust, and now his attention is on Murong Qiao who finally appeared.
Or, she was looking for Huo Yichen.
Last night, Lu Ruman thought about it gratifyingly. Afterwards, it was better to have a relationship with Huo Yichen after "by mistake". As a result, after Murong Qiao drank, everything went completely differently.
"Good afternoon." Murong Qiao replied casually.
She felt Lu Ruman's gaze looking at her, and it was obviously difficult for her not to pay attention, but Murong Qiao just wanted to eat her own lunch at the moment, so she simply ignored it.
