Chapter 28
Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 28
Today, Serena Shen and Lin Lu were both dressed beautifully.
Serena Shen, a cool beauty, seems to be fond of black clothes. Today she wore a black short-sleeved top with a white collar and white chiffon as decoration under the collar.
This top was short, but she did not reveal her beautiful waist. Instead, she chose to wear a pair of white high-waisted wide-leg pants.
In fact, it does not mean that the tighter you wear, the longer your legs will appear.
For someone like her with incredibly long legs, these high-waisted wide-leg pants can actually highlight the proportions.
In addition, Serena Shen did not wear too many accessories, only a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet on her left wrist.
But it has to be said that since she is born with cool fair skin, her skin will make any accessories shine even more, as if it can add a touch of brightness.
As for Lin Lu, who was standing next to Serena Shen, she was wearing an off-white dress by Miumiu.
This girly brand is indeed very suitable for her.
On her feet, she wore white Mary Jane shoes of the same brand, which were made of pearls. They had metal chains on the uppers and conspicuous pearls embedded on the buckles.
"These Mary Jane shoes should really be paired with white socks." Zachary Cheng commented in his mind.
The four of them walked into the box together and quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Zachary Cheng took a look and saw that most of the people in the box were men. Including Michael Shen, there were already 5 men seated.
There are only two women, both of whom are internet celebrities. One of them is sitting next to Michael Shen, and she should be his female companion today.
In fact, she is really a little internet celebrity.
"You're here?" Michael Shen stood up, pulled out a chair for Serena Shen and asked her to take a seat.
Although he is the birthday boy today and has the highest status, some things have long been a habit.
After Serena Shen sat down, she glanced at the little internet celebrity sitting beside her.
This woman, who had tens of thousands of fans on Weibo and sent private messages every day, did not dare to meet her eyes and silently looked away.
This little Internet celebrity dressed up like a socialite, but when the fake socialite met the real daughter, she was still suppressed by her aura.
Michael Shen introduced each other to everyone enthusiastically.
When Lin Lu was introduced, the attention of the men present was the most concentrated.
They had known Michael Shen for a long time and knew that they had no chance of becoming his brother-in-law.
But this new girl looks so damn sweet!
When everyone heard that she was also a voice actress, they became even more excited.
A woman with a versatile voice is wonderful!
Listening again, she is still Serena Shen's best friend and schoolmate. Doesn't that mean she is still a female college student?
Damn it! Tiancai, this is definitely Tiancai!
Zachary Cheng looked at the expressions of these people and felt like a wolf howling was already coming to his ears: "Aww, aww, aww—"
As a result, he sat directly next to Lin Lu, while John Jiang had to sit on the other side of him.
Michael Shen smiled and walked behind the two of them to introduce them to everyone.
He first patted John Jiang on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Xiao Jiang, I won't introduce you much. He is not interesting."
John Jiang slapped his palm away from her shoulder and rolled her eyes silently.
Michael Shen began to introduce Zachary Cheng emphatically, saying: "As for this, he is my closest cousin, the cousin who bought 0:0 in the World Cup final I told you about!"
"It's awesome, damn, I still think it's awesome when I think about it now!" Michael Shen said.
Everyone's eyes focused on Zachary Cheng. Since he came in with Lin Lu and sat next to her, they were a little confused about their relationship.
But if it was Zachary Cheng, he would analyze the birthday gifts brought by these two people.
If they are a couple, it would be enough to bring a birthday gift together. After all, according to the birthday boy's introduction, it seems that the relationship between the two of them is not good enough to buy gifts separately.
Of course, this can only be used as a reference.
Everyone looked at Zachary Cheng, and the two little internet celebrities thought he was quite handsome. He had a sharp face and slightly raised eyebrows. He looked naughty.
Even though she looks very casual in her dressing, the clothes she wears are not from any brand.
"He seems to be wearing... Metersbonwe?"
"No, no?"
In the Internet celebrity circle, a large proportion of people judge people by their appearance.
The two girls are the type who like to hang out with the rich second generation, so they will estimate the man's family background from the most superficial appearance.
Sitting opposite Cheng Zhuzheng was a somewhat fat man.
Based on Zachary Cheng's understanding of the rich second generation circle, among the fatter people, the probability of showing off is relatively higher.
Because of their external deficiencies, they prefer to radiate financial resources and show off their wealth to make up for their inferior appearance.
I saw him smiling and saying to Michael Shen: "Brother Lang, what does our cousin do? If we play together, we will become friends. Let's get to know each other better, and we can help each other in the future."
When Zachary Cheng heard this, he only found it funny.
He knows very well that some second-generation people are boasting outside the world, but in fact, they have no say at all in the family business.
And the louder the person's tone is, the more likely it is.
Please help each other from now on. Can your father and mother listen to what you say?
Saying this is just another way to explore Zachary Cheng's family background.
This fat man had heard Michael Shen say that Zachary Cheng spent 12,000 yuan to buy 0:0. But when I saw him in person today, I felt he was quite plain. He didn’t have anything valuable on him.
But this question really stopped Michael Shen.
"Damn it, I really don't know!" Michael Shen has a bold temper and has a wide range of friends. He himself doesn't care about these things.
Zachary Cheng said openly, "My family owns a small restaurant."
To his surprise, John Jiang suddenly said at this moment: "Cheng Zhujia's restaurant tastes very good. Michael Shen! Hurry up and ask the waiter to serve the food, I'm starving! I'm telling you, This restaurant may not be as delicious as Cheng Zhujia's restaurant, you have no sense in choosing a place."
Despite the constant bickering between Michael Shen and John Jiang, he actually doted on his younger brothers and sisters in the family.
When he heard that his cousin was hungry, he cursed and urged the waiter to serve the food.
While Michael Shen was talking to the waiter in the box, John Jiang crossed her legs in a rather enchanting manner, but said to the fat man in a rather unkind tone:
"Liu Hongjing, we are all friends. I need to help you more in the future. I think you are right. My family's business is not very good this year. Can you go back and tell your parents that you should stop delaying the rent of the factory and come early?" Pay it to our family."
When Liu Hongjing heard this, his fat face immediately froze.
He had his own factory building at home, but it was not big enough, so he rented it out to others. Then, he rented an empty factory at John Jiang's house.
It was Michael Shen's father who was the matchmaker between the two families.
This year, Liu Hongjing's family's business is very average, and it is really difficult to make money.
But if John Jiang’s family is short of money, then there’s something wrong!
For a street of shops, plus three large factories, the annual rent alone is a terrifying amount!
Liu Hongjing wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say. His face turned the color of pig liver.
"This damn sissy, she spoke so aggressively today, is she sick?" he thought in his mind.
Michael Shen also pretended not to hear.
Speaking of which, his father had brokered the deal and rented the factory. Now the rent is in arrears, and everyone looks bad.
Although it has only been delayed for a month, I will probably make up for it in the end.
But why are you dancing in front of the landlord because you are in arrears with your rent?
At this moment, two more Michael Shen's friends walked into the box. They were late.
Many people immediately started making noises and asked them to drink wine as a fine. Only then did the atmosphere change.
After finishing the meal, Lin Lu felt that the conversations of the men sitting across from him were so boring. They were talking about cars, house prices, and stocks...
She wouldn't listen at all.
"It feels like it was more fun to eat at the Sands Restaurant last time." The voice actress girl thought in her heart.
She felt that Zachary Cheng's speech was much more fun than them.
Well, he looks better than them.
After the meal, Michael Shen began to organize a second event, saying that he had opened a private room for everyone to sing and drink together.
When the group of people walked to the parking lot, Liu Hongjing and the man with glasses beside him took a special look at Zachary Cheng to see what kind of car he was driving.
Men do pay extra attention to cars, and it’s normal for them to look at them a few times.
In the end, I only saw Zachary Cheng getting into John Jiang's Mercedes-Benz.
After getting in the car, John Jiang didn't forget to tell Zachary Cheng, "I'm telling you in advance, all of Michael Shen's friends are having fun with him, and thieves can drink!"
"Let's not play too late later, just go and play for a while to give Michael Shen some face. Otherwise, you will most likely have to spend the night holding the toilet."
Zachary Cheng glanced at him and said, "Why, have you drank with them before? I think you seem to have lingering fears."
"Yes, a bunch of beasts can really drink! I can't stand others provoking me, so I just cut them all off." John Jiang said.
"Okay, I understand." Zachary Cheng made a mental note.
After saying that, he added: "We will leave at whatever time Lin Lu leaves in the evening."
Hearing this, John Jiang turned to look at him in surprise and said, "You really don't really want to pick up Sister Xiaolu, do you?"
"Yes." Cheng Zhudao.
"You actually admitted it!" John Jiang scolded him: "Didn't you show off last time and asked me to call you my cousin-in-law in advance?"
"Yeah, I'll fuck your cousin too."
