Chapter 80 I didn’t like it much.
Half a month later, during the golden autumn season, several major luxury brands jointly launched a new autumn fashion show, booked Huayin Building, a famous representative building in Shanghai, to hold a dinner, and invited celebrities from all walks of life to attend.
As the spokesperson for CN, Shen Zhiyi is also on the list of invited artists.
She had just finished recording a travel variety show and had been staying in Santorini, Greece for half a month. She hadn't adjusted to the time difference yet when she came to Hai City again. She wasn't in a very good mood and only became a little more sober after drinking some red wine.
The fashion show was over, and celebrities from all walks of life were chatting with each other in the banquet hall. Shen Zhiyi chatted for a while with actress Ning Ning, whom he met while recording the same travel variety show. The door with a relief angel statue at the entrance of the hall behind him slowly opened again.
Standing opposite Shen Zhiyi, Ning Ning happened to see this scene and was slightly surprised, "So there are still people who haven't arrived yet?"
The fashion show is the highlight, and the invited guests have to arrive before the end of the show. I wonder who was so late.
The waiter pushed open the doors on both sides, and the first person to come in was the president of CN. Ning Ning recognized him and reminded Shen Zhiyi, "It's the president of CN who's here."
As CN's newly signed spokesperson this year, Shen Zhiyi had met the president two or three times. Before coming, Wang Feifei had specifically reminded her to remember to say hello to him.
Hearing this, Shen Zhiyi looked over.
The president of CN is only about thirty years old this year, which is the most charming age. He is tall, handsome, and looks very gentle. After the waiter pushed the door open, he took two steps forward, then stopped and slightly turned sideways, as if waiting for someone to leave first.
Because I was far away, I couldn't hear what he said. I just saw him smile, stretch out his hand and make a "please" gesture, and a figure appeared in the brightly lit hall.
The wine glass in his hand suddenly tilted, and the cool liquid flowed out, dripping onto the ground. Ning Ning was startled and quickly took out a tissue and handed it over, "Zhiyi, Zhiyi?"
Shen Zhiyi came back to her senses and found her hands were all dripping with wine, which made her feel sticky and uncomfortable. She wiped them absentmindedly twice, but still couldn't help but looked over there again.
In addition to President CN, Qin Fang was also there. Standing in the middle was Pei Yu, whom they hadn't seen for half a month. He didn't look changed at all, still looked cold and indifferent. His face was clearly reflected by the light, his eyebrows and eyes were as if carefully drawn with a brush, with clear and sharp contours. The silver-gray silk shirt made him look cold and unapproachable. He lowered his eyes to listen to Qin Fang's words, nodded nonchalantly, and the group walked to the other side of the hall.
"Knowledge?"
Her long absence made Ning Ning wonder, "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Zhiyi paused and put the wine glass back to its original place, "I'm fine."
There were wine stains on the dress, and a faint red mark was very conspicuous on the warm white fabric. Shen Zhiyi went to change into a spare dress and sighed softly as she looked at the ruined clothes.
She didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, and the half-month buffer period seemed to be of no use at all.
After trying hard to adjust her mood, she returned to the banquet hall. Ning Ning had already been called away for a social event by other friends. She did not disturb them and wanted to find a corner to eat something. However, she happened to run into the president of CN who was giving instructions to the waiter.
Meng Qiming turned his head and saw her, "Ms. Shen?"
Shen Zhiyi nodded, "Hello."
The two of them didn't interact much, but Meng Qiming was easygoing and not difficult to get along with. He smiled and greeted, "Miss Shen, have you eaten yet?"
No one was having a proper meal in the hall; they were all there to chat and socialize. Shen Zhiyi was the same; she was just planning to eat something.
Noticing her momentary hesitation, Meng Qiming understood, "Miss Shen, if you haven't eaten yet, why don't you join us?"
Not knowing who the "we" he was referring to, Shen Zhiyi shook his head, "No, I——"
"Miss Shen, why are you so polite?" Meng Qiming turned around and started walking, saying as he walked, "You are the spokesperson for our CN, so it is only natural for me to invite you to dinner." Unable to refuse, Shen Zhiyi could only follow him.
When they arrived at the door of the box, Meng Qiming specifically instructed, "There are so many guests, Miss Shen doesn't have to feel uncomfortable."
The door of the box opened, and the light inside was much brighter than in the corridor. Shen Zhiyi closed his eyes uncomfortably, and when he opened them again, he looked directly into Pei Yu's eyes.
He was sitting in the main seat, raising his hand to bring the wine glass to his lips. When he looked over, he looked a bit nonchalant, and then he saw her face clearly and his eyes fixed.
With a "click", he put down the wine glass.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Shen Zhiyi suddenly had the urge to step back, but this occasion did not allow her to show any abnormality.
"Ms. Shen, come and sit down," Meng Qiming had already taken his seat and introduced everyone with a smile, "It's a coincidence that we met, so I'd like to invite Miss Shen to have dinner with us."
There were other women at the table, most of whom were female companions brought by the guests themselves. It wouldn't matter if Shen Zhiyi was included, not to mention that she was invited by Meng Qiming.
However, there were still people among them who could not be neglected, so even though this action was not worth paying attention to, Meng Qiming still asked a question, fearing that he would be disliked, "Does Mr. Pei mind adding one more person?"
Shen Zhiyi lowered her eyes, and the urge to leave became stronger. Before this, she had never thought that she would see Pei Yu again so soon, and she never thought that they would face each other like this.
She moved her lips, "Mr. Meng, I have something to do——"
Pei Yu spoke at the same time, drowning out her voice.
He tapped the wall of the glass and watched the ripples that followed. In the reflection of the glass, her figure blurred into a spot of light.
He didn't look up and just responded casually, as if he didn't care or take it seriously at all.
"how come."
Qin Fang came back from the bathroom and saw Shen Zhiyi was there too. He was stunned for a long while and subconsciously looked at Pei Yu - there was no expression on this man's face.
He was worried and had no idea what the situation was.
When Pei Ge'er just broke up with Shen Zhiyi, he was very surprised because it was so sudden. Later, seeing that Pei Yu was normal, he didn't think much about it. He just discussed it with Qin Xiaoran in secret. She thought that Pei Yu was not as indifferent as he seemed, but Qin Fang disagreed.
Now this idea has wavered again.
He handed Pei Yu a cigarette, and the two of them went to the smoking room to enjoy some cool air.
Qin Fang couldn't hold back his words, so he asked directly, "Brother Pei, what do you think of Shen Zhiyi? Do you like her very much?"
Is it the kind of love that makes you miss someone even after breaking up?
Qin Fang couldn't quite understand. As far as he was concerned, a breakup was a breakup and it wouldn't delay finding the next one. But Pei Yu had always been different from them, and no one knew what he was thinking. Qin Fang was concerned about his brother's love life, and was even more afraid that he would be indecisive and torture him.
Pei Yu lowered his head and put out the cigarette. He had smoked enough times in the past half month, but he just didn't feel like it tonight.
He spoke slowly, blowing out smoke rings, "I don't like it much."
