Chapter 721: Prom
The French Consulate holds a dance party every year during the Lantern Festival, inviting representatives from all walks of life to participate.
On the one hand, this can win people's hearts, and on the other hand, it can also canvass for the election of directors of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, which will be held soon.
On this day, all the people who can be invited are the top figures in various industries in Shanghai.
Even in many industries, being able to get an invitation to a prom is regarded as an important criterion to determine the status of the industry.
On the day of the dance, although it only starts in the evening, after the lunch at noon, the guests who participate in it start to come one after another.
Feinan arrived at five o'clock in the afternoon, and the dance was about to begin.
He was qualified to bring a female companion and a friend in, so he brought Huanhuan and Xu Wenqiang.
These days, Xu Wenqiang has also visited many representatives from all walks of life who have the right to vote, but the efficiency of visiting one by one is not as good as today's group visits.
Because it is the Lantern Festival, the consulate also follows the local customs and puts up couplets at the door.
In the bungalow, the crystal chandelier is lit up, shedding a soft glow.
The porch at the entrance, the hallway, and the banquet hall were full of guests.
An old man with a sheep's beard wearing glasses and a cane, a young woman with eyebrows and bright jewelry, an adult man smiling and greeting and laughing, everyone gathered in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
There was a sofa for resting next to the banquet hall, but no one sat on it, and everyone took advantage of this rare opportunity to make friends and connect with each other.
As soon as Xu Wenqiang came in, he began to move, and many of the guests present were rare big shots.
He wanted to visit before, but he was politely rejected by the other party, and when he saw him today, he wanted to go up and say hello.
However, after he proposed it to Fernan, he was stopped by Fernan.
"What's the hurry? Didn't President Zhao promise to introduce you? If you go over now, people don't know you, so it's okay to be polite to you, but if you have a bad attitude, if you go back and take you over to visit, isn't it a intention to make people unable to come to the stage?"
Chairman Zhao's name is Zhao Jinqing, and the person who Mr. Sun asked Fei Nan to take Xu Wenqiang to him that day and introduced him is one of the three Chinese directors of the current Shanghai Ministry of Industry Bureau, and also the director of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, which can be said to be the most powerful person in the entire Shanghai.
Originally, Mr. Sun planned to arrange for Wang Jingwei to be the next Chinese director through him.
But there was a Fernan, and he had to give up this opportunity to Fernan's people.
At the meeting that day, Chairman Zhao had promised Feinan that he would introduce Xu Wenqiang to the core directors of the taxpayers' association at today's ball.
The Shanghai Taxpayers' Association was a representative body organized by the Chinese spontaneously after the establishment of the concession, and the establishment of the Chinese board of directors by the Ministry of Industry Bureau was operated through them.
It can be said that with their support, it is equivalent to getting a seat on the board.
Hearing Fei Nan's words, Xu Wenqiang also understood that he was excellent and impatient, so he came to the sofa next to him with him, sat down, and waited quietly.
There are snacks and nuts on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and the kitchen staff holds teapots and wine bottles to help guests refill sweet tea and drink.
Suddenly, Xu Wenqiang pestled Fei Nan with his elbow and reminded in a low voice: "Brother Nan." ”
Fei Nan followed his line of sight, but saw Feng Jingyao holding Feng Chengcheng, greeting him all the way, and walking in.
Behind them, followed by a slightly haggard man, it was Ding Li.
"Shall I go say hi?"
Fernan looked at him.
Xu Wenqiang was a little hesitant, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Fei Nan shook his head, got up directly, led Huanhuan, and walked towards Feng Jingyao and the others.
Xu Wenqiang watched him move, struggled for a moment, but got up and followed quickly.
Feng Jingyao quickly noticed Fei Nan walking towards him, and the smile on his face couldn't help but fade a little.
"Boss Feng, long time no see. ”
Fei Nan smiled and took the initiative to say hello to him, then looked at Feng Chengcheng, who was nervous beside him, and nodded: "Cheng Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Good...... Long time no see. ”
Feng Chengcheng was wearing a set of European-style skirts, although it was a little inconvenient to move, but it looked really elegant and luxurious, beautiful and moving.
There were many guests and ladies in the banquet hall, but as soon as she appeared, everyone else seemed to dim a little.
Feeling that his attitude didn't seem to be too decent, Feng Chengcheng brushed the hair next to his ear, and greeted Huanhuan with his chin: "Huanhuan, long time no see, do you miss me?"
"Yes!"
Huan Huan nodded, tilted his head and asked, "Sister Cheng Cheng, why don't you go and play with me?"
Feng Chengcheng looked at Feng Jingyao beside him awkwardly and explained: "I've been a little busy lately, and when I'm free, I'll go and play with you, okay?"
"Okay!
Huanhuan stretched out her little finger and pulled a hook with her.
Feng Jingyao looked at their hook appearance, and his mood was a little complicated.
It shouldn't be like this, he once had the opportunity to become a community of interests with Fernan, but because of his misjudgment, it eventually led to the parting of ways between the two parties.
Looking back, he found that he had indeed made a lot of wrong decisions and repeatedly harmed Fernan.
On the contrary, Fei Nan ignored his previous suspicions and helped him when he was most critical.
When Feng Chengcheng told him that Fei Nan had promised her that he would help him through the company's difficulties, he still didn't believe it.
But when he found out that the people on the other side of the theater really didn't come to him anymore to force him to claim compensation, he realized that it was Fei Nan who helped him.
He inquired that in order to compensate for the loss of the theater chain, Feinan deliberately reduced the price and sold a batch of movie copies at a low price, which calmed the anger of the theater owners.
Before, he didn't know the value of movie copies, but now he knew it.
Those are real chickens that lay golden eggs!
Unfortunately, Fernan's original intention was to work with him on the development of a copy of the film, but he turned him down.
Every time he thinks about it now, he wants to pump himself with two big mouths.
The ocean of white flowers was pushed out by him.
In order to hug the neon man's thigh, he also helped the neon man to destroy the movie copy, so that now the fox didn't hit it, and he caused a commotion, which really outweighed the loss.
He wanted to save the relationship between the two parties, but when he saw Xu Wenqiang, who was glaring at him behind Fei Nan and eager to come up and pick off his skin, he clearly realized that their relationship was probably difficult to recover.
Xu Wenqiang chose to leave at his most difficult time, which hit him hard.
In a fit of rage, he made another decision that was not wrong, but not accurate—to let Ah Xiang clean up the portal.
He didn't believe Xu Wenqiang's rhetoric at all, but stubbornly believed that Xu Wenqiang saw that his big tree was about to decay, and he looked for the next family in advance.
If there is no Xu Wenqiang, he and Fei Nan may still have something to talk about, right?
Alas, what a wrong step, a wrong step!
However, he is not wrong to the end, at least, he still has a chance, that is, Cheng Cheng beside him.
