Chapter 474: Long time no see
"Did your company really sign Xu Jingjing as its spokesperson? I love her so much!"
"Yes, everyone will be able to see our new products soon."
"That's great, I will definitely support you when the time comes!"
"Thank you very much." Zhao Ziqing responded with a smile.
"Who is this handsome guy?" The girl looked at Lin Fan curiously.
"He is my fiancé Lin Fan." Zhao Ziqing introduced him easily, which surprised Lin Fan a little.
"Do you really have a fiancé? It seems the rumors are true." The girl showed a surprised expression and then stretched out her hand.
"Hello, my name is Yuan Yichen, nice to meet you."
"Hello." Lin Fan responded politely and shook hands. Faced with such friendliness, who would refuse?
At this time, the younger generation of the Zhao family also appeared one after another. When they looked at Zhao Ziqing, they all looked unhappy.
Maybe they could still use some tricks on her before, but the situation is different now - Zhao Ziqing has become the leader of the Zhao family, and a single word can make them lose everything.
Lin Fan standing next to them made them even more jealous. If it weren't for him, how could Zhao Ziqing have risen to the top so quickly?
"Hey, isn't this someone from the Zhao family?" Lin Fan said after noticing their gazes.
"You didn't even say hello when you saw us? Have you forgotten the rules?"
Hearing this, the young men of the Zhao family looked extremely unhappy. Although they were reluctant to step forward, under Zhao Ziqing's gaze, they had no choice but to walk over.
"Ziqing, you're here." They forced a smile and greeted.
Zhao Ziqing simply nodded without saying anything. Although these people were dissatisfied, they didn't dare show it on their faces and hurriedly left with an excuse.
"After all, we are family, so it's okay to smile at them." Lin Fan suggested.
"If I laugh, it will only make them more uneasy." Zhao Ziqing said calmly.
"Besides, our relationship hasn't reached that level."
As more and more people gathered in the banquet hall, young people from the ten major families also began to gather.
Despite belonging to the same circle, their relationship wasn't always harmonious. However, Situ Nan came over specifically to greet Lin Fan.
"Are you no longer thinking about getting close to Zhao Ziqing?" Lin Fan asked, staring at Situ Nan.
"Don't look at me like that. Just ask whatever you want to ask." Situ Nan felt something was wrong.
"As long as you dare to say you want to, I will make you regret it immediately." Lin Fan said in a firm tone.
This conversation instantly froze the air, filled with tension. Situ Nan glanced at Zhao Ziqing and smiled helplessly.
"Forget it, since she has no feelings for me, I won't force myself."
"That's right, don't hang yourself on a tree." Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction and patted Situ Nan's shoulder.
"Who do you say is the tree?" Zhao Ziqing asked with a frown.
"Oh, I'm wrong, I'm wrong. You are the only sacred tree in the forest." Lin Fan quickly changed his words.
"Then I'm willing to give up the entire forest for you," he added, and Zhao Ziqing's expression softened when he heard this.
Shen Wei whispered to Situ Nan, "Look, they have a very good relationship, so don't get involved."
"Don't talk about you. It's useless even if Lu Zhen is interested in her." Shen Wei continued.
"Can Lin Fan compare to Lu Zhen?"
Situ Nan asked in surprise. In his opinion, the two were not even on the same level. He respected Lin Fan mainly because Lin Fan had saved his grandfather.
"Compared with Lu Zhen? Haha, Lu Zhen is not qualified." Shen Wei sneered.
"You think Lin Fan is not qualified, right?" Situ Nan asked.
"No, I mean Lu Zhen is not worthy to be compared with Lin Fan." Shen Wei retorted.
"You've underestimated Lin Fan and overestimated Lu Zhen. Honestly, even Lu Zhen wouldn't be qualified to be Lin Fan's younger brother!"
"Is this true?" Situ Nan felt unbelievable.
"The absolute truth. If Lu Zhen dares to stand up tonight, you'll know whether Lin Fan can make him unable to stand up." Shen Wei said confidently.
At this moment, the lights suddenly flickered, attracting everyone's attention. A beam of light shone from above towards the entrance, and everyone speculated about who was coming.
Sure enough, a group of people walked in, led by a young man in a white suit, handsome and with an outstanding temperament. Everyone warmly called him "Young Master Lu" or "Brother Zhen", and it was obvious that he was the focus of the place.
Lu Zhen smiled and walked slowly forward, appearing approachable, while the person behind him seemed somewhat arrogant. This scene made Lin Fan mutter, "What a pretentious act! Even the entrance required a special effect."
"Brother Fan, isn't it really eye-catching?" Shen Wei teased with a smile.
"It's indeed quite dazzling." Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
Situ Nan couldn't help but curl her lips as she listened to the conversation between the two. She thought it would be better to stay away from them so that she wouldn't be implicated when Lu Zhen caused trouble.
"Brother Lu Zhen is so handsome." Yuan Yichen looked at Lu Zhen with admiration in his eyes.
"After so many years, are you still his loyal fan?" Zhao Ziqing asked, glancing at her.
"Of course, he is handsome and capable." Yuan Yichen nodded and replied.
Hearing this, Lin Fan and Shen Wei turned to look at Yuan Yichen at the same time. Yuan Yichen looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing." Lin Fan quickly withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Zhen walked straight towards this side.
"Zhao Ziqing, long time no see." He stopped and said to her with a smile.
"Brother Lu Zhen, you too." Zhao Ziqing responded politely, but there was not much enthusiasm in her words. This was her character.
"I plan to stay longer this time. Let's get together more often in the future." A hint of admiration flashed in Lu Zhen's eyes, and he found that Zhao Ziqing was more charming than before.
"How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow night?"
As soon as he said this, many girls around him cast envious glances at him. If it were them, they would have been overjoyed.
"Sorry, I'm not free tomorrow night." Zhao Ziqing declined politely.
"If you really need help, you can contact me during the day or come to the company directly to find me."
Facing the rejection, Lu Zhen did not show any dissatisfaction: "Zhao's company is developing so fast now, as the president, you must be very busy."
Shen Wei secretly glanced at Lin Fan beside him, feeling a little uneasy, worried that he would get angry.
Although he had said before that Lin Fan could easily deal with Lu Zhen, if something really happened, it would be a big trouble.
"I have been running a business abroad in the past few years and have accumulated a lot of experience. Let's have a good exchange someday," Lu Zhen suggested.
"Okay." Zhao Ziqing agreed. This time she couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"Why do I feel like I've become a lot more unfamiliar after not seeing you for a few years?" Lu Zhen said with a smile.
"I remember we used to play together a lot, and you always affectionately called me 'Brother Lu Zhen'."
Zhao Ziqing's face showed a hint of nostalgia when she mentioned the past. Although she didn't like interacting with men, she treated Lu Zhen like a brother.
