663 Awkward Question
Chu Ning tried to recall and realized that Seventh Brother had never told them about his research direction. She could only shake her head regretfully. “He didn’t say, but I can ask him when I have the time. He’s very smart and capable. He’s doing research with his mentor now.”
Yan Shen nodded. At this moment, the chauffeur said, “Young Master, Ms. Chu, we’ve arrived.”
Chu Ning and Yan Shen alighted once the car came to a stop. They carried their suitcases and looked at the massive cruise ship by the shore. Chu Ning sighed, “It’s so tall. It’s bigger than the cruise ships I’ve seen before.”
Yan Shen nodded in agreement, dragging his suitcase while he walked. He explained things in detail, “The cruise ship belongs to Su Kun. You should know him. We even attended the banquet he organized. He’s practically the number one person in the country’s business world, but the main reason he’s invited the heirs and second generation owners of the country’s top businesses this time is because of his son, Su Ming.”
Although Chu Ning had done her research before she came, the standard of intelligence was not as high as Second Brother’s and the information was not comprehensive. Therefore, it was not bad to hear Yan Shen talk about it now. At least she would not be completely clueless.
Speaking of Su Kun, Chu Ning had a deep impression of him. He looked like a kind and friendly middle-aged man. He seemed to have a good impression of Chu Ning. At least, in Chu Ning’s opinion, Su Kun felt that she had potential. However, she did not receive this invitation, either because she had not grown up enough or for some other reason.
Yan Shen continued, “Su Ming came back from studying abroad and is about to take over the family business. Judging by his actions, he seems to be preparing to enter the tourism and entertainment industry. Su Kun dotes on his son very much. The father and son thought that this matter would cause a dispute in the company, but in the end, Su Kun compromised, so this cruise party was held.”
“What activities are there for the cruise party?” Chu Ning nodded and asked excitedly.
Yan Shen was dumbfounded. “Didn’t you see the invitation list and activity schedule I sent you?”
Chu Ning’s cheerful footsteps stopped for a moment. “I only had time to look at the invitation list. There were too many people. I have to go through it slowly.”
Yan Shen was at a loss after these words, which were simple, yet carried with it Chu Ning’s typical flavor. He looked at her with a slightly forced smile. He could not help but sigh and feebly explained things, “There’s a barbecue party, a pool party, and an auction. Moreover, all the clubs on the cruise will be open to the public. There will also be various small competitions. I heard that the prizes are not too bad.”
“Are there any hard rules?” Chu Ning relaxed. “For example, how much net worth the participants have to have.”
Yan Shen shook his head.”It’s a gathering for young people. The richest man isn’t around. His son has his own ideas. If you want to talk about his requests, there’s only one; we’re not allowed to bring our own bodyguards and secretaries.”
“Does that mean that you can’t bring anyone with you and can only participate by yourself?” Chu Ning was stunned.
Yan Shen thought for a moment.”Not really. You can bring your family and friends. You can only bring one person per invitation.”
“So you’re using your invitation on me?” Chu Ning nodded in realization.
Yan Shen gave her a knowing look, but Chu Ning suddenly asked, “Then am I family? Or a friend?”
The two of them paused. Chu Ning also turned her head awkwardly and secretly slapped her own mouth. She cursed in her heart, “Chu Ning, oh, Chu Ning, have you been possessed by the original person or have you been bewitched? How could you ask such a question without any EQ!”
Yan Shen wasn’t as embarrassed as Chu Ning had imagined. He didn’t say anything out of courtesy. He kept silent because he remembered that he had invited Chu Ning to participate in this event. Was it really just because, at the last stage, he hoped that the happy memories would be witnessed by his friend?
The air froze. One was at a loss for what to do, while the other had thoughts coming out of nowhere.
In the end, Chu Ning broke the silence. She smiled and changed the topic in a cheerful tone. “Let’s go quickly. I can already see quite a number of people at the dock.” She strode toward the dock.
Yan Shen also reined in his thoughts. He followed Chu Ning and the pair chatted merrily, quickly turning the page on the little incident.
When they arrived at the dock, Chu Ning observed that there were many bodyguards standing guard to maintain order.
Looking at the entrance, most of the guests were very tactful. They did not bring bodyguards or secretaries, and were holding hands with their partners or children.
In all honesty, Chu Ning was stumped when she saw visitors with children. However, on second thought, marriage between two families usually occurred very early, so it was normal for them to have children.
