3. Cocktail party
Until the matter of the invitation to get off work, I was a little hoarse in a hurry, and I was also half-hearted when I called Su Ling at night, he asked this and I answered that, Su Ling found that I was wrong and asked me what was wrong, I didn't say anything about the invitation only that I had a cold, and it happened that Aunt Zhao came in with ginger soup, and I took it and took a sip.
Su Ling blamed over there, "You little fool, I've only been gone for a few days and you've caught a cold, and you won't take care of yourself at all, go to bed early after taking the medicine, don't stay up late, and obediently wait for me to come back." ”
I hummed, Su Ling smiled with satisfaction, and said a few words of lovesickness to me before hanging up the phone, I sneered and threw the phone on the bed.
The next morning, when I was waiting for the elevator, I ran into Jiang Ping, who said to me mysteriously, "Mr. Li, there will be great news later." ”
When I asked, she refused to say more, only said for a while, and naturally someone told me.
After a while, Su Ling sent me a message saying that the matter of the invitation letter was solved, I was taken aback and immediately called him, Su Ling was busy on the construction site and didn't answer the phone, and replied to me with a message.
At twelve o'clock, Su Ling called and explained what happened, after he found out that I was wrong last night, he was not at ease, he was afraid that something would happen and asked Jiang Ping, only to know about the invitation, he happened to have a good fellow working in the Tangdu Hotel, and the position is not low, the invitation is not available, but I can participate in the reception as a waiter.
This is the best news for me, and I know it didn't come easily. I said excitedly, "Thank you, Su Ling, I really don't know what to do without you." ”
Su Ling smiled, "You are my daughter-in-law, who will I not help you, you remember that I will always be your strong backing, don't hide it from me if you have something in the future." ”
My eyes were moist and I hummed in a choked voice.
I greeted Jiang Ping in the afternoon, she wanted to go with me, I didn't promise to let her keep an eye on the company.
I went home and took a shower, and drove to the Tangdu Hotel at six o'clock, there were no guests in the hotel lobby, only men and women in work clothes were decorating the banquet hall, and the four words Tiancheng Group were particularly conspicuous in the flowers.
A waiter stopped me and said that the hotel was chartered tonight and did not accept outside guests, so I reported Feng Jun's name, and the waiter smiled politely at me and took me to Feng Jun's office.
Feng Jun was very busy and kept on the phone, and when he saw me come in, he motioned for me to sit down with his eyes, and the waiter poured a glass of water for me and left. After a while, Feng Jun finished the phone call and said sorry, "Miss Li, Su Ling gave me a death order for your business, I have to help." ”
He pulled a cigarette out of the cigarette case and glanced at me as he lit the fire, and I waved my hand to say I didn't mind.
Feng Jun was tired between his eyebrows, he took a deep breath of cigarette, got up and opened the window, and continued, "This cocktail party is very important to our hotel, and there must be no mistakes, so we will first say the ugly things in front, and you must not make trouble after you go in, which is good for both of us, but I took the risk to let you in, and I hope you can understand my difficulties." ”
I promised again and again, repeatedly promised not to cause trouble, Feng Jun called the foreman to come in, the foreman prepared work clothes for me, put my dress in the dressing room, took me to familiarize myself with the layout of the banquet hall, explained what I should pay attention to, and told me to find her if I have something.
In the evening, I entered the meeting as a waiter, changed into a dress with the help of the foreman, and when I went downstairs again, the banquet had already begun, and the hall was full of crystals, people, men were dressed in formal clothes, and women were all dressed in jewels.
I didn't know the celebrities present, and I didn't dare to talk to them at will, so I cautiously looked for Mr. Zhang's figure, and finally found Mr. Zhang after a few turns, he was holding a glass of red wine, and the female companion next to him didn't know what to say that made him laugh again and again.
I didn't dare to act rashly, I could only watch his every move carefully, and after a while, a few bosses came to talk with Mr. Zhang, they talked very happily, laughing from time to time, but Mr. Zhang's eyes wandered and seemed to be looking for something in the crowd.
After a long time, the talents around Mr. Zhang left, and the female companion didn't know where to go, I saw the opportunity and immediately walked to Mr. Zhang's side, raising a bright smile, "Hello Mr. Zhang, remember me, I am the grand Li Muyi, we just met a few days ago." ”
Mr. Zhang turned his head to look at me when he heard this, his eyes were slightly cold for a while before he asked slowly, "Do you have anything wrong?" I took out the business card from my handbag and handed it to Mr. Zhang with both hands, Mr. Zhang didn't answer, drank a sip of red wine, and raised his eyes to sweep it casually on my chest.
I coughed a little embarrassed, and Mr. Zhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "You want to do business with me?"
After saying that, he walked up to me and whispered in my ear, "It's okay to do business, but we won't talk about business tonight, and we will talk slowly when you come to my company another day." And his hand was silently wrapped around my waist.
When Mr. Zhang's female companion came back and saw that our posture was so ambiguous, her face immediately changed cold, she snorted a few times, and then took Mr. Zhang's other arm, and said in a sweet and greasy voice, "Mr. Zhang, people are so hungry, the desserts over there look good, let's go eat some, or I won't have the strength at night." ”
She said as she tried hard to pull back Mr. Zhang's hand around my waist.
Mr. Zhang didn't move at all, and the female companion lied a few more times, causing several people around to look back, Mr. Zhang lowered his voice and said sharply, "Let go!"
When the female companion heard this, her eyes were full of dripping, and she looked at Mr. Zhang aggrievedly, Mr. Zhang also felt that she seemed to be a little strict, her face warmed up, and she patted her shoulder and said, "Good girl, you go and find food for yourself first, and I will come to you later." ”
The female companion was unwilling but helpless, glared at me a few times before leaving, and then looked at Mr. Zhang's wine glass and threw his sleeves away.
I looked up at Mr. Zhang's chin and said with a smile, "I'm really reckless tonight, I'm afraid that I missed Mr. Zhang's good deeds, and I ask Mr. Zhang to forgive me." ”
I struggled lightly not to make too much of it, for fear of attracting the attention of the people around me. Mr. Zhang smiled and said that it was okay, his restless hand lingered on my back, and his hot breath sprayed in my ear, "Tonight, I have such a beautiful young lady as you by my side, how can I say that it is an interruption, it should be my honor." ”
His hand slipped on my waist and pinched it, I instantly stiffened, instinctively pushed him away or slapped him viciously, but I didn't dare, I could only grit my teeth and silently withdraw the outstretched hand, and only smiled after a while, "Look at what Mr. Zhang said, it is my honor to accompany you, I toast Mr. Zhang." ”
I took a glass of champagne and drank it all, Mr. Zhang smiled at the corner of his mouth and watched me finish drinking with interest, and also drank all the red wine in his hand, Mr. Zhang was in good spirits, and drank a few glasses in succession, but he didn't seem to have a good amount of wine, which would be slightly red and his eyes were a little blurry, of course, I was not much better, several wines mixed together made me dizzy, and I sighed in my heart that wine is really not a good thing.
Mr. Zhang grabbed my waist and whispered, "Let's go to the rest area." ”
The lounge area is at the end of the banquet hall, and the soft sofas are arranged, and the people who participate in the reception are all partners of Tiancheng, or companies that want to cooperate with Tiancheng, they are all active in the front hall, and the rest area is naturally empty.
We sat down on the couch next to a couple of huge pots of greenery that kept us out. Mr. Zhang chatted with me honestly at first, and I tried to lead the topic to the grand business several times, but he cleverly argued in a few words, and I was not his opponent at all.
After a while, Mr. Zhang's face became more and more red, and he slowly moved to my side, and his hand touched me intentionally or unintentionally, "Let's not talk about business tonight." ”
I am like a mirror for Mr. Zhang's intentions, his eyes are too obvious to me, although I have not been in the mall for a long time, but men still understand women's minds.
My dad told me since I was a child that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and I have always kept it in mind.
I am also weighing in my heart, whether this business is worth it, and whether Mr. Zhang will be true to his word, or what the company will do without this business, I am not sure, and I dare not act rashly.
"Does this lady have an invitation?"
It's a voice from outside the sky.
