Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 144 Social Dance
Lu Qiaoge nodded, not hiding anything, and naturally said to An Leilei, "Mr. Zhen has reached a cooperation agreement with the roasted nuts and seeds factory, so we naturally want to express our gratitude and respect to Mr. Zhen."

An Leilei said, "That's true. Today's attendees, besides those invited, are also carefully selected from various organizations. There are about half men and half women, so it can be considered a social gathering."

Lu Min looked at the two of them in surprise.

I never imagined that these two could get along so well.

An Leilei glanced at Qin Hengzhi and said to Lu Qiaoge, "Let's go in first. There are already quite a few people inside."

Lu Qiaoge: "I have to wait for my sister; she went to buy popsicles. You can go in first, and I'll come find you in a bit."

An Leilei: "Then I'll wait with you. Anyway, I don't have anything to do."

She then asked Lu Min, "Are you going to wait here the whole time?"

But before Lu Min could speak, they heard Cao Lanzhu shouting irrationally from the other side.

Lu Min's face flushed red; she felt extremely embarrassed.

She was wrong. Everything she thought was wrong. The one who was acting crazy and embarrassingly like Cao Lanzhu was not Cao Lanzhu herself, but Lu Min.

Didn't you see that everyone you know was looking in her direction?
Even though Cao Lanzhu's cousin and his wife had stopped her, could they really cover her mouth in public?
Lu Min was both ashamed and angry, wishing she could die on the spot.

Lu Qiaoge narrowed her eyes. She had noticed this scene not far away just now. At the time, she thought it was because her family didn't want a certain girl to come to dance, but the girl insisted on coming, which caused the conflict.

An Leilei said promptly, "That's Cao Lanzhu, she's from Beidu." She glanced at Lu Qiaoge and said, "She told Lu Min that she and Representative Qin are from the same compound." Then she added, "Those two are her cousin and cousin-in-law, they both work in Jiangcheng."

Lu Qiaoge realized, "Oh, it's her."

She couldn't help in this situation; it was obvious that the Lu family and the Cao family were connected.

Lu Qiaoge could only pretend she didn't know.

Just then, Lu Qiaoling arrived, holding a few popsicles in her hand, her eyebrows and eyes beaming with joy.

She passed by Qin Hengzhi and handed her future brother-in-law an ice pop with a smile. Qin Hengzhi took it without even glancing at Cao Lanzhu. Instead, he followed Lu Qiaoling slowly toward Lu Qiaoge. Completely ignored, Cao Lanzhu stood there dumbfounded, her seemingly crazy eyes filled with disgust and hatred.

And then there are those fleeting emotions that no one can understand.

The man was very troubled and said to his wife, "You go with her to the dance, I have to go back to work overtime."

The woman's face darkened, but she still agreed. Cao Lanzhu called out to Lu Min, "I'm calling you, are you deaf?"

Lu Qiaoge looked at Cao Lanzhu. They weren't far apart, and their eyes met, but the other woman casually looked away.

Lu Qiaoge was very puzzled.

Logically speaking, Cao Lanzhu should know that she is Qin Hengzhi's girlfriend.

Given how much she likes Qin Hengzhi, shouldn't she be attacking her?

How could they possibly bully Lu Min?

Actually, Lu Min is quite honest.

Or perhaps, Cao Lanzhu isn't the fool or madwoman everyone thinks she is?

But at this point, it must be admitted that Lu Min was in the most awkward position.

In this situation, Lu Qiaoge didn't have any good ideas. After all, the Lu family was trying to curry favor with the Cao family.
Otherwise, such a thing would never happen.

But Lu Qiaoge still whispered to Lu Min, "She's acting strangely. There's definitely something we don't know about. Be careful and don't get involved. You might get yourself into trouble."

For some reason, these words successfully calmed Lu Min's heart.

Yeah, why bother arguing with a madman or an idiot?

Even if others don't know, it's enough that these few people in front of us know.

She nodded gratefully to Lu Qiaoge and walked quickly toward Cao Lanzhu.

The group stopped paying attention to Cao Lanzhu and followed An Leilei into the Cultural Palace. By this time, a considerable number of people had already gathered in the hall.

Bright ribbons and red flags hung all around, but there were no slogans, clearly indicating that the events of the morning had left people somewhat confused.

In addition, one of the organizers, Commander Yan, was detained and was in a bad mood, so these things were not done.

Even so, the atmosphere here is still very nice.

The band was tuning their instruments, and the melodious sound of the accordion floated in the air.

Lu Qiaoge saw Zhen Xi, who was wearing a sharp suit and looked out of place in this setting full of work clothes and polyester shirts.

However, his languid posture remained, but upon closer inspection, one could still see the gloom between his brows.

Clearly, Chairman Zhen chose to sacrifice Secretary Xue to save face, which made Zhen Xi very unhappy.

Turning around, I saw Lu Min and Cao Lanzhu walk in as well.

I sat down in a seat not far away.

Today's organizer was a colleague from the Foreign Trade Bureau. To show how important it was, he quietly asked Zhen Xi, "Mr. Zhen, we'd like you to say a few words. Is that alright with you?"

Zhen Xi shook her head without interest and said in a low voice, "Never mind, there's nothing to say."

But his gaze fell on Lu Qiaoge, who was not far away.

He pressed his hand to his chest; the gold watch his mother had given him was hanging around his neck, and this time it wouldn't be easily lost.

But this also made him more vigilant, and he offended many people who might steal his gold watch and smash it in anger.

He couldn't help but think of that note again. For safety reasons, he didn't leave it at the hotel, but carried it with him at all times.

But who wrote this note for him?

For some reason, he felt like it was Lu Qiaoge.

That young, beautiful girl, yet sharp and outspoken.

Zhen Xi couldn't figure out how she knew, but he couldn't take out the note yet.

He was grateful to whoever found the gold watch.

According to custom, the first dance should be performed by the leaders and important guests.

But today's important guest was clearly in a bad mood, so we'll skip that.

The reception director chuckled and said, "This social dance was actually planned for Youth Day, but it didn't happen for various reasons. It's an honor for us to have Mr. Zhen from Hong Kong here today. Alright, I won't linger. Comrades, don't feel pressured. Today is just for dancing and having fun. Of course, we must also maintain order in the dance hall..."

The young people below began to applaud enthusiastically.

Lu Qiaoling watched this scene with excitement; she had never seen anything like it before, and it was truly hilarious.

The staff at the reception office didn't say anything more, and so the dance officially began, with the band playing music.

The opening dance was a lively waltz.

As the music started, Qin Hengzhi took Lu Qiaoge's hand and was about to step onto the dance floor.

An Leilei muttered, "I still want to dance my first dance with Qiao Ge."

Lu Qiaoling covered her mouth and chuckled.

Qin Hengzhi actually hoped that Lu Qiaoge wouldn't be able to dance, so that he could teach her himself.

Hmm, just thinking about it is wonderful.

My darlings, I'm shamelessly asking for your monthly votes again! It's the end of the month, and the rankings are unstable, so I can only beg you to cast your votes for me. I would be extremely grateful!
