Chapter 109: Cocktail party.

To participate in a cocktail party on behalf of the Tang family.

This was a first for Tang Han Qiu since growing up.

This kind of party often attracted elites from all walks of life, which was a good opportunity to open up one’s personal connections.

In the past, the ones who attended were either the two elders of the Tang family or Tang Mo Yuan, and it never became her turn. But that was mainly because she didn’t need any personal connections at the time, and she needed it now.

This was the reason Liu Wen Qing decided for her to attend the cocktail party on behalf of the Tang family this year, and also to train her, to let her learn how to deal with various big occasions like these.

When attending a cocktail party, it was normal to bring a male or a female companion, so Liu Wen Qing asked her to take someone, or let Huo Lian Hao, the temporary acting vice president, to be her male companion and accompany her.

Huo Lian Hao had dealt with these situations a lot more times, and accompanying her would definitely bring her more benefits.

But when Liu Wen Qing offered for her to take someone, the first person that came to her mind was the sometimes not very serious iron bar salted fish.

Although there were times where she wasn’t very serious, it didn’t mean that she had no sense of propriety and was better kept under the table. On the contrary, she was actually more reliable than many people.

And Tang Han Qiu also wanted to take her to broaden her connections, she also wanted her to be by her side.

So Tang Han Qiu refused Liu Wen Qing’s plan for her to take Huo Lian Hao and softly said, “Mom, I want to take another person.”

Liu Wen Qing on the other end of the phone almost didn’t even think about it, and blurted out, “Is it that child Ru Bing?”

Tang Han Qiu was taken aback for a moment and then resolutely hummed her agreement: “Yes, I want to take her.”

Liu Wen Qing didn’t ask why, but just gently said: “If you think she can accompany you, then you can take her there, it’s good for you two young couple to learn things together.”

There was no limitation in the identity of the companions, there would also be many bigwigs that would bring their lovers at the cocktail party, or bring their own artists for them to get acquainted with others— as long as they wanted to, as long as it was a person, they could take them to the cocktail party.

And Liu Wen Qing believed in her daughter, she had her own ideas and sense of proprietary, so as parents they didn’t need to worry about her each day.

Liu Wen Qing said again: “Baby don’t worry about flowers being used at the party, your dad has two friends who are also allergic to pollen, and they would be there too, so the organizer will not use real flowers for you guys.”

Tang Han Qiu said okay in a gentle voice, and then asked: “Then if Dad finds out that I took Ru Bing, will he be angry with me?”

After all, when Yu Ru Bing went to see him last time, he didn’t even say a word to Yu Ru Bing, obviously, he still didn’t accept Yu Ru Bing in his heart.

“Is your father, me, so petty?” Tang He Tian’s voice suddenly came from the phone with a bit of dissatisfaction of being misunderstood by his daughter, “She is your girlfriend, it is normal for you to take her, why would I be angry?”

It wasn’t that Tang He Tian refused to accept Yu Ru Bing, but he was still not 100% sure whether Yu Ru Bing was sincere towards Tang Han Qiu— isn’t it that she’s also thinking of climbing up onto a rich family?

When he first learned from Tang Sheng He’s mouth that his daughter was with the woman who broke his daughter’s engagement, he was surprised and puzzled, and was also a little unhappy.

His good only daughter, why did she suddenly become gay?

In today’s world, it was difficult to be gay.

If society doesn’t recognize them, wouldn’t his precious daughter be sad?

Liu Wen Qing was more enlightened than him, and was more open than he thought.

People shouldn’t be too trapped in societal conventions throughout their lives. They should like whoever they liked, why must they have to be constrained by the world? How unpleasant it is to like someone alone.

And she believed that Tang Han Qiu was a responsible child, since she dared to choose this path, she definitely dared to walk it, and as parents it was enough that they try their best to support her and not be a hindrance to her.

Tang He Tian was persuade by her a little, but he still wasn’t very happy— Yu Ru Bing had no money, can she let his baby daughter live well!

So when Tang Han Qiu brought Yu Ru Bing back to the Tang family mansion to meet them, he was ready, he would make it difficult for Yu Ru Bing and let her know that his Tang family’s daughter was not so easy to get!

But when he stood on the second floor and saw Yu Ru Bing take off her coat and wrap it around Tang Han Qiu, then hurriedly pulled Tang Han Qiu inside the house, his thoughts of making things hard for her instantly softened, after that he called Dong Bo to clearly inquire, and only then did he find out that Yu Ru Bing was afraid that Tang Han Qiu would catch a cold and get sick.

He remembered the appearance of Yu Ru Bing on the show at the time— she seemed to be more scared of the cold than any other people.

But she was willing to take off her clothes and wrap it around his precious girl.

Then in her heart, his precious girl must be it it.

And was definitely much better compared to that idiot in the Qiu family!

As he thought about this, his notion of making things difficult disappeared little by little, but he arrogantly didn’t want to admit that he had become a little soft towards Yu Ru Bing, so with his sullen face, he didn’t say a word to Yu Ru Bing at all the entire time.

Although it was easy for Senior Director Tang’s heart to soften, in order to maintain face, he was stubborn and was reluctant to admit his mistake.

But in his heart, he already recognized Yu Ru Bing a little.

Since he had acknowledged her, he would not prevent Tang Han Qiu from wanting to take Yu Ru Bing to the party, and even felt that it ought to be.

Tang Han Qiu softly smiled: “Thank you Dad, thank you Mom.”

Thank you for not being a hindrance for me, thank you that I could become your child.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that her being able to be a member of the Tang family was really a blessing cultivated from eight lifetimes.

The cocktail party coincided with the second day of Yu Ru Bing’s final exam and would start at 7 o’clock in the evening, so Tang Han Qiu specially looked at her schedule, she only had to shoot an advertisement that morning, then she was abundantly free the rest of the time until the next day.

So she sent a message to Yu Ru Bing asking if she wanted to accompany her to the cocktail party, and Yu Ru Bing almost responded in a second.

[Yu Bu Ru Bing]: It’s no problem, I’m fine, I can do it!

It’s the familiar scenario again on which she had the final say.

She seemed to have practiced the law of corporate slaves “the boss has the final say, and I can do it” very well.

Tang Han Qiu smiled and replied to her.

[Tang Han Qiu]: I will pick you up when you finish shooting the commercial

……

On the day of the cocktail party, after Yu Ru Bing finished filming the commercial, Dong Bo arrived driving Tang He Tian’s car to pick her up, and in the back seat the precious little princess of the Tang family sat.

The window was rolled down, and Tang Han Qiu said to her: “Get in the car.”

Yu Ru Bing very skillfully got into the car, and then greeted Dong Bo: “Hello Dong Bo.”

Dong Bo replied, “Hello, Miss Yu.”

Yu Ru Bing sat down, sighed exhaustedly, then fell back on the seat, but in the next second she sat up like she was stabbed by a needle, and was sitting upright like a student again.

She forgot, this was Tang He Tian’s car, she couldn’t afford it if the seat broke!

Suddenly a hand stretched out next to her then pressed on her chest, slowly pushing her down to lean back on the seat, and said with a little smile in her voice: “Sit comfortably, you don’t have to pay for it if it breaks.”

Senior Director Tang had accepted taking her to the cocktail party, would he take offense towards a car?

Yu Ru Bing cautiously asked: “Really?”

Tang Han Qiu smiled and said, “Really.”

With her assurance, Yu Ru Bing gradually relaxed, and then let out a long sigh.

Tang Han Qiu saw this and asked, “How’s your final exam?”

Yu Ru Bing gave a thumbs up: “It’s okay, I still feel alive after the exam.”

As long as you are alive after the exam, don’t guess about other things, especially the thoughts of the teachers who gave the test, it was easier to become despondent.

And she had Tang Han Qiu’s tutoring, which indeed felt like “okay, still alive”.

She was not an academic overlord¹, and her aspirations towards exams were very simple.

1. 学霸: top student, a hard-working student, good at studying, and has extensive knowledge.

Yu Ru Bing asked again: “Will Qiu Yun Li be there too?”

Tang Han Qiu shook her head: “Qiu Yun Li is on a business trip, this time Xiao Jie will attend.”

Yu Ru Bing said oh, and watched Dong Bo start the car, then asked: “Where are we going now?”

Tang Han Qiu propped her head and looked at her: “To buy you clothes.”

One or two dresses were always needed to attend a cocktail party.

……

At seven o’clock in the evening, the cocktail party was held on time at the most high-end five-star hotel in Lan City, with all kinds of luxury sports cars already arriving after six o’clock, elites and celebrities from all walks of life stopped at the entrance of the hotel and each got off their car.

Tang Han Qiu also arrived early.

Today, Tang Han Qiu was not wearing a skirt, but a red suit that looked very smart and fostered her character without losing style, on her white earlobes there hung a pair of expensive ruby drop earrings, her burgundy eyeshadows were put on just right, making her appearance look sharper and more delicate, and like a rose her red lips were just as gentle and charming.

When she got out of the car, she easily drew people’s attention.

This was the beautiful little princess of the Tang family, when you actually see her, people would realize that such a perfect beauty was real.

On the other side of the car the door opened, and Yu Ru Bing with exquisite makeup, wore a dark black elegant and warm fur shawl, she was in a one-shoulder black gradient dress, the skirt was covered with tiny twinkling diamonds, just like it was embellished with numerous bright stars.

She gracefully stretched out her slender legs, inadvertently revealing her white ankle, on it a black butterfly strap was tied, making her ankle fairer and more beautiful.

Tang Han Qiu walked over to her then stretched out her hand, and Yu Ru Bing raising her impeccably beautiful eyes, smiled at her, then took her hand and gracefully got out of the car.

The two of them stood together, both looking right and eye-catching, making the people who came and went feel that they were pleasing to the eyes.

Tang Han Qiu gave her arm to her and she took advantage of it, then Tang Han Qiu softly said, “Don’t be nervous, you have me.”

Yu Ru Bing smiled: “Okay.”

Under the direction of the waiter, the two entered the cocktail party, and when they came in their eyes saw the elites from all walks of life happily chatting away, as well as many stars and directors.

Tang Han Qiu quickly recognized several friends of Tang He Tian, these uncles even gave them red envelopes when she was young, and their affinity and characters were all first-class.

But she was accompanied by Tang He Tian before, and she had never dealt with them alone, this would be the first time.

Tang Han Qiu took a glass of wine and led Yu Ru Bing over to greet them.

Tang Han Qiu’s coping ability was impeccable, she was at ease being among these big tycoons, and her attitude was also admirable.

Yu Ru Bing naturally didn’t hold her back either, she would talk appropriately, and wouldn’t say what shouldn’t be said, the smile on her face was also very proper, a full-level professional social animal smile.

As more and more people arrived in the venue, the party soon officially began.

Ten minutes after the cocktail party started, there were still some people who came late.

The people in the cocktail party would take a glance at the entrance and then take their eyes back.

Currently the one who arrived was no one else but Qiu Yun Jie, the young master of the Qiu family, and… Qiu Yun Li.

Yu Ru Bing’s eyes suddenly widened, and the moment Qiu Yun Li stepped inside, there was a buzzing in her head.
