Chapter 077: The Banquet (Medium)
Time passed minute by minute, and the party was about to begin, but the expected phone call never rang.
Garvin loosened his tie irritably, strode over to the floor-to-ceiling window, pushed it open, and looked down on the winding road and the speeding cars below.
For three days, he had been patient not to contact Si Yan, and she had let it go without any news.
He smiled wryly, and the conclusion was clear: after a few months, he was still an ordinary friend to her. No, maybe not even friends.
Otherwise, he hasn't heard from him for a few days, and she took the initiative to call to say hello, which is not too much, right?
Even if it's just a phone call to scold him!
But she sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and the eight winds could not blow.
Teach him to have a belly of fire, but there is nowhere to go.
In the past, he hated women pestering, and always felt that they were wordy and troublesome.
But Siyan was too independent and refused to rely on him, which made him even more upset.
She was so silent that it made him panic.
Even, he once wondered, did she run away into outer space?
"Jiawen," the door was pushed open, and Ye Shuxian walked in and urged: "The time is almost up, it's time for us to go." ”
"No, there's still an hour and a half. Zheng Muyuan followed behind her, looking a little inexplicable: "Drive over, it will take half an hour at most, why be in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be good to let him rest for a while?"
"What do you know?" Ye Shuxian glared at him: "Jiawen is the president, go ahead of time, you have time to prepare." Besides, after so many years of Dad leaving Binhai, he must also want to go around the company, comparing the past and the present, right?"
Zheng Muyuan was at a loss: It's just a speech, what preparations should I make?
"It doesn't matter if I'm a little sooner or later, Jiawen will decide. Zheng Yushan looked at his tall and handsome grandson and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Let's go, I'm afraid there will be no place to rest when I get to the venue?" Ye Shuxian took the lead out of the hotel.
She sent an invitation to Si Yan without telling Jiawen, the kid was sincere, what a pity if she arrived at the venue in advance, didn't see them, and left again?
The group arrived at the venue in two cars.
Ye Shuxian got out of the car and kept looking left and right.
"Wife, what are you looking for?"
"Nothing, let's go. Sure that Si Yan hadn't come yet, Ye Shuxian covered the disappointment in her heart, took his arm and entered the VIP lounge under the guidance of the staff.
Distraught, Gavin pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and stood by the window without saying a word.
"Wife, what's wrong with my son?" Zheng Muyuan noticed the abnormality and quietly bumped Ye Shuxian's arm.
Strange, at this time in the past, Jiawen, who was always talking and laughing and was accustomed to an active atmosphere, why did he become a stuffy gourd today?
"How do I know?" Ye Shuxian was depressed when her battle plan was unsuccessful, and she walked to the side with her cheeks puffed out and looked at the promotional pictures on the wall.
Zheng Yushan was bored, took a look, slipped out alone, and slowly wandered around, reminiscing about the past.
Zhou Haolin drove the car to the front lawn of the venue, Si Yan pushed the car door and got out of the car, bent down to thank him: "Haolin, thank you for sending me over." ”
"Shall I accompany you in?" Zhou Haolin made a gesture and wanted to push the door and get out of the car.
"No, it's too late, the concert is about to start. Siyan shook his hand in a panic and urged him to go.
"Well, have fun. Zhou Haolin no longer insisted, nodded, and drove away from the square.
Seeing Haolin leave, Si Yan breathed a sigh of relief and raised his eyes to look at the huge electronic clock on the front lawn of the square: the hands pointed to a quarter past eight.
A quarter of an hour late, don't know if you want to go in?
Siyan lingered in front of the goal.
It's already outside the venue, why don't you go in and take a walk? After accepting Aunt Ye's expensive clothes, you should at least say thank you to her, right?
Thinking about it like this, it seems to be calm again.
Yes, she didn't come to see Zheng Jiawen, she came to see Aunt Ye, it's always okay, right?
After showing the invitation letter, he entered the venue smoothly and saw Jiawen standing in front of the rostrum from a distance, and the familiar voice seemed to be close to his ears through the loudspeaker.
“...... In the past year, with the efforts of all employees of Anshun, the annual sales revenue has increased by 15 percentage points compared with last year. We have reason to believe that ......" on the huge electronic screen, Gawen was smiling brightly and looking energetic.
She looked at him in a daze, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar Jiawen, her eyes were hot for no reason, and her heart was sour.
She didn't expect it to be bad at all, he didn't have all her contradictions and troubles these days, and the estrangement between them didn't affect him in the slightest.
He is still the cynical and game-playing Zheng Dagongzi, but she seems to never be able to return to the calm and tranquil Qin Siyan of the past.
He looked so confident, his voice was calm, he looked at her through the camera, he was so calm and graceful, he seemed so close to her, but he was clearly far away......
"I'm sorry, I borrowed it~" The service staff pushed the dining cart past the passage.
"Oh~" Si Yan came back to his senses, hurriedly gave way, and looked up, and there was already a shadow of clothes and temples in front of him.
At some point, the speech was over and the ball had begun.
There was no need to deliberately look for it at all, and Jiawen easily came into her sight.
He was in the middle of the dance floor, holding a strange young woman in his arms, tall and bright, which was exactly the taste and preference he always used to pick women.
His steps are simple and powerful, there are no fancy movements, but they are so graceful and smooth, she moves forward and backward and spins freely under his guidance, and always has a sweet smile on her face, which is so charming and elegant.
The two of them are so eye-catching, standing together, like a pair of luminous bodies, covering everyone's light and firmly attracting everyone's attention.
She pursed her lips slightly, silently looking at the pair of people on the dance floor who were dancing with tacit understanding, and a strange and strange feeling rose in her heart.
It's as if someone has suddenly snatched something very important.
She shook her head, trying to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling. hid himself in the shadows and began to slowly search for Ye Shuxian's figure, planning to say hello to her and leave.
Here, it doesn't belong to her.
For Jiawen, she is just a passer-by who meets by chance on the road of life.
