Chapter 37
Howard turned his head and smiled at the rich young man, then he threatened Fade in a deep voice, "Your name is Fade and you came to Bay City half a month ago from the rural area of Tianwu City. Then you and Quin had a fake marriage. Let me tell you, this kind of trick won't fool me. Quin will be mine."
After that, Howard turned around and put on a smiling face, he resumed chatting with the rich businessman.
Quin finally came to her senses. She blushed and quickly bounced off Fade's arms. She tidied up her messy clothes, glared at Fade, and then went to the other side to continue socializing.
Fade had no choice but to follow her. After listening for a while, he finally figured out the nature of this party.
It turned out that just a month ago, Mayor Wu, the former mayor of Bay City, retired. Before his retirement, Mayor Wu was the vice secretary of the municipal party committee who was in charge of the economy. He was also a person who loved to drink and today was his birthday. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Therefore, some citizens simply took this opportunity to hold a party. Firstly, they could express their gratitude and farewell to Mayor Wu; secondly, they could celebrate Mr. Wu's birthday; thirdly, it was also a gathering for the elites of the business industry in Bay City, which made this party achieve many goals simultaneously.
As expected, the workaholic Quin soon got to work. She held a glass of wine and talked entrepreneurs into cooperation with her company. Some of them even reached an agreement on the spot.
Fade was not interested in this at all, he grew bored. He made an excuse of going to the bathroom, but instead of doing so, he got a plate of dishes, hid in a corner and ate.
Just when Fade was enjoying his good wine and was picking up the last piece of a juicy steak on his plate...
A pair of white and tender hands reached out and grabbed Fade's arm and shook them hard a few times, then a delicate and lovely voice sounded," Superman, Superman..."
The steak was about to enter his mouth but it fell directly from the fork onto Fade's body.
Fade quickly got up and shook off the steak. Looking at the grease stains on his expensive trousers, he had a sudden urge of wanting to cry. Not to mention that the good steak was ruined, the suit pants that cost him more than ten thousand dollars were also ruined on the first occasion he had ever worn them.
Immediately, anger rose in Fade's heart. He glared at the source of the sound and shouted fiercely, "You..."
However, as soon as he shouted one word, Fade's angry face froze, and then quickly dissipated into a gentle smile.
In front of her was a cute little girl at the age of five or six years. The girl was wearing a pink petticoat dress, soft black hair draped over her shoulders, and there was a cute little cat hairpin on it. In addition, the little girl had a rosy face and a pair of flickering big eyes. The lovely sight instantly melted Fade's heart.
" Superman, what are you eating?" The little girl continued to shake Fade's arm while pointing at him. "What's wrong with you?"
Fade quickly sat down and covered his oil-stained pants with his jacket. He coughed and said, "Kid, I'm eating a steak. Are you hungry?"
"I'm hungry!" The little girl replied in a childish tone.
Fade hurriedly picked up a spoon of salad and handed it to the little girl's mouth, saying,
"Come on, I will feed you."
Unexpectedly, the little girl tilted her head and turned her face, saying, " Superman, I don't want to eat this. I want to eat steak."
"To eat steak!" Hearing this, Fade felt bliss in his heart. This little girl had the same taste like him. Fade was ready to pick up a steak, but he looked down at his plate. He had finished all the steak. "The steak is finished. How about a drumstick?"
Fade took a drumstick, but the little girl was not satisfied. She pouted and said, " Superman, I want to eat steak."
"Okay, okay. I'll get some steak for you." Fade had no choice but to get up to look for some steak. As a result, when he looked around, Fade suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because the steak on the nearby counter had been finished by him and no pieces were left.
"Brother Superman, have you found the steak?" The little girl was really hungry and pouted.
"Ahem!" Fade pointed at the table in the middle of the hall that was displaying with countless food and said, "There is steak over there. Let's go there and eat."
"Good, good!" The little girl clapped her hands, held Fade's clothes, and walked toward the middle of the hall.
The middle of the hall was where the businessmen and rich people gathered and talked. Each of them was holding a red wine glass but never took a sip, let alone eat. However, at this moment, Fade came over with a little girl, fished out a large plate of steak directly, picked up a piece of steak, and started to chew it without caring about his image.
Momentarily, everyone was shocked and showed a look of surprise. In their eyes, they couldn't help but show disdain and walked away from Fade.
Quin was discussing business nearby. With such a commotion, she noticed Fade. Watching him wolfing down the food and chewing until the juice spurted out, Quin suddenly felt a headache come on. She wanted to pretend that she didn't know this guy.
Unexpectedly, he waved a piece of steak and said hello to her, "Quin, are you hungry? This steak tastes good. You should eat one piece."
Quin quickly waved her hand and hurriedly walked over in an attempt to stop Fade.
But before Quin came over, Howard came from the other side. He looked at Fade with an exaggerated surprise on his face, and then shouted, "Security guard, security guard, come over here. How can you let such people enter the party? Hurry up and drive them out."
Hearing this, Fade's face darkened and he said to Howard, "Howard, what is the meaning of this?"
Howard said sarcastically, "I don't mean anything. It's a high- end networking event. How could a beggar like him come in to eat and drink? Did he come in with a fake identity?"
At this moment, two security guards came over and stood in front of Fade. They said coldly, "Sir, please show us your invitation."
Fade raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Why do you need to check my invitation?"
The security guard took a step forward and said, "Sir, I'll give you one last chance. Show me your invitation right away."
"So what if I have an invitation? So what if I don't?" Fade said coldly.
"If you don't, then we won't hesitate to take action." The security guard raised the baton in his hand.
At this moment, Quin walked over with a stiff face and shouted, "This is my husband. What are you trying to do?"
The two security guards were stunned when they saw Quin. How could they not know the famous beautiful president of Bay City? When they heard that the man was her husband, they almost fell to the ground.
"President Lin, We made a mistake. We are sorry." The security guard apologized and explained and then immediately turned around to leave. They certainly knew that they had been used by Howard, but they could not retaliate against him.
