Chapter 12: The Reception

Ye Haitang is going to represent the company at a charity reception tonight.

The reception was held at the Shangri-La Hotel, and unlike the small gathering she expected, there were 100 or 200 people.

She came relatively early and met several media acquaintances. Media groups have sent people, TV stations have set up machines early in the morning, and photojournalists are wandering around looking for the best locations.

She found her table cards, and as soon as she sat down, she found that Huang Annie was also sitting next to her. She's a little weird, she's here today on behalf of the company, Annie Wong?

Huang Annie is dressed very fashionable and exquisite, just like the two of them in the daytime. Long curls of hair were coiled high behind her head, a shiny rhinestone hairpin was inserted on it, and she was dressed in a tight-fitting evening gown that outlined her figure well, and her red lips were warm and sexy.

She smiled when she saw Ye Haitang's surprised appearance, pulled her to sit down affectionately, and said, "What's the matter? It's strange to see me, right? No way, I'm here to do things on orders." “

Ye Haitang asked curiously, "Who dares to send you?"

Huang Annie smiled proudly: "Who else can there be? Mr. Lu! He is an old friend of this organizer, he used to come to the auction every year, but this year he is not available, so he sent me!"

She looked at the nails she had just done, and said casually: "Anyway, I'm here to help him spend money, and I will pay for it when I spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy something and go back." Just buy one I can use..."

She covered her mouth and laughed.

There have always been rumors of Huang Annie and Mr. Lu in the company, and Ye Haitang has also heard a lot, but it is the first time to hear Huang Annie express it so aggressively, thinking of Luo Dawei's words, she can't help but be a little careful.

She looked around, opposite was a middle-aged lady in her early 40s, very elegant, Ye Haitang happened to be looking at Ye Haitang when she looked at her, and the two nodded to each other in a friendly manner, which was regarded as a greeting.

When she looked at her neighbor, she was bored looking at the photo on her phone, which was a seven or eight-year-old boy, very beautiful and cute. She couldn't help but praise: "This kid is so cute!"

Sitting next to her was a young mother, who immediately raised her head when she heard this, and asked with a smile, "Really?

Ye Haitang nodded vigorously. Really, this kid is so cute, about the same age as Xiaowei, and it's all carved in pink.

The mother next to her seemed to have found a bosom friend, and suddenly opened the conversation and began to talk to her about the child.

The young mother's name is Wen Qian, the deputy director of the office of a bank, because the unit usually cooperates with this organizer, and like Ye Haitang, she also attended tonight on business.

She and Ye Haitang talked about children's health and upbringing, and talked about how to cultivate good hygiene habits and study habits, Ye Haitang listened with relish, although she is not married, but Wang Li's Xiaowei often brought it when she was a child, like such a beautiful and cute little Zhengtai She likes it the most, like a little adult, talking to Xiaowei can often make her happy.

The two men talked with great interest and exchanged phone calls.

Huang Annie was left aside, she was a little embarrassed, just when Ye Haitang and Wen Qian were chatting about how to take children to bask in the sun safely and healthily, Huang Annie actually scolded her sourly: "You know a lot!

Wen Qian looked at her in surprise, feeling inexplicable, Ye Haitang was also a little surprised, her relationship with Huang Annie was not good, just as Luo Dawei reminded her before leaving, for the position of director of operations, Huang Annie has been stabbing her in private recently.

Even Mr. Fu of Cangshan opened a stumbling block for her, which was obviously to help Huang Annie. But after all, in the workplace, everyone is still polite on the surface. It is really inappropriate for Huang Annie to speak like this.

Huang Annie also knew that she was speechless, coughed in disguise, and looked down at her phone.

Ye Haitang ignored her, and continued to chat happily with Wen Qian, but at some point, Huang Annie left her seat, and Ye Haitang caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't care.

There were gradually more people in the hall, and the host of the reception was Su Xiao, the famous host of the provincial TV station, Su Xiao caused a burst of cheers as soon as she appeared, countless cameras and cameras were aimed at her, and the auction began.

Today's auction is the personal collectibles of some celebrities, including jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, as well as some clothes, shoes and bags, as well as calligraphy or cross-stitch, and even a celebrity's mobile phone, all with a minimum starting price of 5,000.

Ye Haitang is not very interested in these lots, firstly, he can't afford to buy them, and secondly, he can't afford them.

There is a painting of the middle hall of the local young painter Kan Zhongshi, who has been booming in the past two years, she is very tempted, and when she heard that the starting price was more than 30,000 yuan, she finally sold for 180,000 yuan.

She can't afford anything else, but on behalf of the company, she always wants to be interesting, and finally she took two five-star trips for Hainan seven-day tours, which are just within the budget, and will be used for activities for the business department.

The real stars of charity activities are those local tyrants, Ye Haitang and they are here to play tricks, their tables are on the periphery, and the three main tables in the center are the places where everyone is looking forward tonight.

That's the real VIP and the big guy tonight.

Wen Qian touched Ye Haitang and raised her chin to signal: "Hey, there is someone over there who has been watching us, do you know him?"

Ye Haitang looked at the main table in the direction she said and shook her head.

I know a few, but I've only seen a greeting once or twice in business activities, and people don't necessarily remember her, maybe someone else has seen it inadvertently.

She lowered her head to eat, and after a while, Wen Qian touched her again and said strangely: "Oh, look, that person is still looking over here, it's looking at you!"

Ye Haitang raised her head suspiciously, looked over blankly, and was close to the main table, sure enough, a man was looking at her, seeing her gaze, and raised the wine glass in his hand at her.

Who is this man?

She thought about it for a long time, but she still didn't think about it, but she couldn't afford to brush off the kindness of others, so she also smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a hello.

Wen Qian asked, "Do you know whom?"

Ye Haitang replied honestly: "I may know, but I can't remember it!"

Wen Qian was stunned.

After a while, during the halftime of the auction, the man walked over to Ye Haitang with a cup.

"Miss Ye is so beautiful tonight. "The man is self-cooked.

Ye Haitang was embarrassed, she said embarrassedly: "Uh, look at my memory, you are..."

The man introduced himself: "My surname is Zhang, and I met Miss Ye at the Pictet Hotel last Saturday,"

Last Saturday! Ye Haitang suddenly remembered.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, it's you! I have a bad memory, I just think you're familiar, but I can't remember what to call for a while, sorry, sorry!"

Zhang Weidong is one of Fang Yan's customers, last Saturday, Ye Haitang and Lu Wei were tired of shopping, so they went to the Baida Hotel tea bar to drink tea, but they happened to meet Fang Yan, Fang Yan is also here to talk to the customer, this customer is Zhang Weidong.

It's strange to say, from childhood to adulthood, Ye Haitang's super memory has always been praised, remembering textbook knowledge when she goes to school, and remembering numbers after work, which can be said to be unforgettable, the books she has read, the location of things, it is not an exaggeration to say, even if there is one less change in her wallet, she can find it, but it is not good to remember people's faces, many people can't recognize it after seeing it four or five times, Lu Wei laughed at her for this is selective face blindness.

Zhang Weidong was obviously very happy: "Miss Ye can still remember, I'm really happy." ”

He pulled back the chair next to him and asked, "Can I sit down?"

Ye Haitang saw him put on a posture of wanting to talk for a long time, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Huang Annie looked at this side from a distance and continued to talk to the people around her.

Zhang Weidong's purpose was very direct, he fell in love with Ye Haitang.

Zhang Weidong is seven years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, and he has never started a family, and his dream since he was a child is to find a lady like his grandmother. Zhang Weidong's grandmother was born in a landlord family, she was very beautiful and dignified when she was young, and she was also very charming.

That day, he was drinking tea with Fang Yan at Baida, and when Ye Haitang walked in at the door, his eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that it was this girl!

Zhang Weidong's family opened a large auto parts factory, the plant is their own, these two years to catch up with the demolition, the plant plus the old house before and after the hundreds of millions, now the auto parts factory to rent a house in another place to reopen, the money is so much that there is nowhere to spend he caught up with the excitement of the charity auction, but he happened to meet Ye Haitang again.

God has eyes!

He asked Fang Yan, and Fang Yan didn't say a few words of truth, when who couldn't see his thoughts!

Ye Haitang was a little annoyed.

Before Huang Annie came back, Zhang Weidong sat on Huang Annie's seat and didn't leave, and asked her for a while: "Miss Ye, do you like this bag?

"Miss Ye, do you like this watch? I'll take a picture of it and give it to you?"

Wen Qian had already turned around, pretending to lower her head and sorting out her bag, Ye Haitang looked at her shoulder and knew that she was about to lose her breath with laughter.

The middle-aged lady opposite also stared at the host intently, pretending not to know anything.

It's easy for Zhang Weidong to leave.

Several people at the table breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then they couldn't help but laugh.

That's when Annie Huang returned.

She feigned surprise and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Several people laughed and shook their heads, but didn't say anything.

Huang Annie pursed her lips, with a secret hatred in her heart.

The auction went well, the organizer seemed to be very satisfied, and toasted table by table to express his gratitude, Ye Haitang poured himself a glass of Coke and said with a smile: "Pretend to be beer." ”

Wen Qian said: "You can drink some red wine to beautify your face." ”

Ye Haitang said helplessly: "No, I have a shallow amount of wine, even if it is red wine, one or two glasses can put me down." ”

Wen Qian said in surprise: "Really, then you don't usually drink when you have socials?"

Ye Haitang nodded and said: "It's not drinking, it's really a last resort, I can only drink a little, and if there are acquaintances, I never dare to go to a place like a bar." ”

"Then you really can't go," Wen Qian agreed.

Huang Annie glanced at Ye Haitang thoughtfully.

Zhang Weidong came to toast Ye Haitang.

Ye Haitang repeatedly refused, but he still didn't give up, and Huang Annie also helped on the side: "You give Mr. Zhang a little face! What is a cup? I can have seven or eight cups of this kind of cup!"

Wen Qian glanced at her disapprovingly, and it was difficult to say anything in front of Zhang Weidong.

Huang Annie ignored her and was still helping by the side.

Ye Haitang's heart is crossed, so he will drink a cup and leave after drinking, saving him from endlessly!

Wen Qian asked her, "Are you okay?" Do you want to make a phone call and let someone answer first?"

Before Ye Haitang could speak, Zhang Weidong said: "No, it's just a cup, I'll send you home if you're really drunk." ”

Wen Qian thought to herself, what people are afraid of is that you will send it, okay?

Ye Haitang's heart was crossed, and he raised his cup and drank it in one go.

Soon, she was a little familiar with a slight dizziness, and sure enough, she was going to get drunk!

Without thinking, she sent Wei Xiao a position, and a sentence of "Hurry up!"

Then she picked up her bag, said hello and walked outside the banquet hall, she couldn't get drunk, at least she had to go back to her car before Wei Xiao came.

Huang Annie came to help her, but Ye Haitang didn't care about her and went straight to the elevator.

The corridor is very long, and the road under your feet seems to be a little crooked, why is the elevator so far?

Huang Annie helped her to walk to the bathroom on the opposite side of the elevator and said, "You can't do this, go wash your face and sober up first." ”

She wanted to say no, get out of here first, but her head started to hurt, okay, wash your face.

After washing her face, she seemed to be a little sober, Ye Haitang looked up, but she didn't see Huang Annie, she slowly walked out of the bathroom and went to find the elevator.

She walked slowly, because she was still dizzy.

Dizzy, she saw the elevator, just pressed the button, suddenly someone hugged her shoulder, she looked up in horror, it was not Huang Annie, it was Zhang Weidong.

As if she had been poured a basin of cold water, she miraculously sobered up a little, and at this moment the elevator came, she stumbled into the elevator, and Zhang Weidong followed.

Ye Haitang leaned against the elevator wall, and Zhang Weidong kept trying to get close to help her.

"Miss Ye, how are you feeling?"

"Miss Ye, I don't have bad intentions, I just don't worry about you. ”

"Miss Ye, I'll send you back. ”

Ye Haitang pressed his hand against him and did not allow him to approach.

Her face was flushed, and her eyes sparkled like a flamboyant, alluring, poisonous poppy.

Zhang Weidong's hands were trembling, he really wanted to just do her, and bring her home justifiably, even if she would cry and make trouble when she woke up, he was not afraid, as long as a woman slept with a man, it was easy to say anything, he had seen a lot, not to mention that with his net worth, how many women pounced up, he didn't believe that she was not moved.

The woman said that she would only help him this time, and it was up to him whether he succeeded or not.

But he didn't dare, he knew there was surveillance in the elevator.
