Chapter 186: Reluctantly Accepted
Leng Yanmo's starry eyes were shaken by Shen Zhuxi's bright smile at this time, compared to her slight excitement, Leng Yan's reaction was relatively flat. If you look closely, you will definitely find a smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, Shen Zhuxi repented almost immediately after agreeing, realizing that she might have overlooked a big problem.
"Leng Yan, I may not be suitable for such an occasion......." Her beautiful eyes dimmed into a lonely black, pursed her lips, and spoke softly. As soon as these words came out, everyone could almost perceive the sudden coldness of the surrounding aura at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
The maid, who had been standing not far away and closely watching the movement here, raised her head proudly, as if she was sarcastic Shen Zhuxi was quite self-aware. Before she could react further, Leng Yan directly rejected Shen Zhuxi's refusal.
"Since you've promised me, you should keep it. He turned around and glanced at Uncle Leng who was trying to make a look at Shen Zhuxi, which meant very clearly.
He knew what the woman was thinking, so he was even more reluctant to let her run away from it all. At the same time, I wanted to invite her to this banquet with my own little purpose.
"Young master, Miss Shen must have something unspeakable, you ...... like this" Uncle Leng couldn't stand it anymore, he frowned and had a kind of reprimanding posture, as if he was not very happy with a big man bullying a female streamer.
I saw him stride directly in front of Shen Zhuxi, and pulled her behind him, with a lot of kung fu to protect calves. Since knowing Shen Zhuxi for so long, this little girl has been suffering misfortune, and he is very distressed.
However, Shen Zhuxi did not want to live under the clouds of others all the time. So, she went directly to Uncle Leng's side and smiled at Leng Yan gently, as if her body was coated with a shallow silver-white halo, like a Xuannu outside the nine heavens.
"It's me who is overthinking, rest assured, I will keep my promise. Shen Zhuxi turned his head, grateful to Uncle Leng for his help, but he went back to the room without looking back, leaving the people behind him in a daze.
The maid who had just been helped by Shen Zhuxi was dissatisfied with Leng Yan's arrangement, and her heart had already been directed towards Shen Zhuxi. But because his status was not qualified, he didn't dare to say anything at all.
Shen Zhuxi pretended to be strong and left, but in fact, her heart had long been numb. Although the face can still maintain a light breeze, the melodious smile is panicked, and the scrutiny in the eyes is getting stronger and stronger.
Is he and Gu Huaizuo really just a cooperative relationship?
Leng Yan has a little subversion of her impression of what she has done these days. Although Leng Yan used to be kind to himself, he was not so domineering, and he could even be described as unreasonable.
After weighing left and right, Shen Zhuxi shook his head, but still dispelled his concerns. The maid on the side immediately followed, looked at Shen Zhuxi with great diligence and asked, "Miss Shen, is there anything I can do to help you?"
She is a sharp-eyed master, and now Leng Yan spoils her so much that she can get tired of people in the honey pot, so no matter what she says, she must be well slapped. In the same way, I will definitely get a lot of benefits in the future.
And Xiao Cui, who reacted slowly, grinned unwillingly, as if dissatisfied with the other party's step ahead of him.
"Miss Shen, you have been feeling unwell lately, do you need me to warm a glass of milk for you?" she didn't dare to suggest, Leng Yan's attitude towards Shen Zhuxi was clearly visible outside just now, she didn't want such a big piece of fat to fly away like this.
Shen Zhuxi was weighing other things at this time, and he didn't notice the reaction of these servants at all, and hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he was not interested.
After Jiang Zhi'an got Shen Zhuxi's consent to respond, he silently agreed that his arrangement was very proper, and when he returned to Leng's father, he reported the situation in detail.
"Dinner and dance? or not, as you said, I did, it's time to see my old friends. Father Leng had a smile on his face, Jiang Zhi'an was his most powerful assistant after all, and he could always do things very well to his heart.
Jiang Zhi'an hurriedly customized the invitation letter according to Leng's father's arrangement, and then made an appointment for the venue in the five-star hotel.
The next afternoon, near dinner, a group of invited guests had already come to the hotel, and Leng's father met with old friends who had not seen him for many years.
Before the banquet began, Leng Yan invited several makeup artists and stylists, and they specially brought many gorgeous evening dresses according to Leng Yan's instructions.
Shen Zhuxi obediently let the makeup artist manipulate his face, and the stylist was on the side, communicating with Leng Yan to discuss which evening dress was more suitable.
"Most of my father's friends are elderly elders, low-key colors, not too much to show off the body curves, but also to highlight the temperament and beauty......" Leng Yan muttered to the stylist to discuss the main points.
The stylist brought dozens of sets of evening dresses, and Leng Yan randomly pointed out three points, and most of them were easily passed.
Shen Zhuxi noticed that Leng Yan seemed to care more about this dinner party than himself, but also, after all, it was organized by his father, and of course there would be many important people appearing.
Gu Huaizuo is in the company, when Leng Feng is not there, he has to take the initiative to inquire about the situation of various departments in the company, and a small number of department managers have the vision to report the situation, but Gu Huaizuo took the initiative to ask, because he wanted to rely on his own observation to get the most real situation he thought, in the past, when Leng Feng was there, Leng Feng understood Gu Huaizuo's principles, so he never made a mistake in the compartment report, he was not in the company, Gu Huaizuo was obviously busier.
Coming to the public relations department, Gu Huaizuo inquired about the recent progress of the work, and was concerned about why he had allowed public opinion to explode wildly, although public opinion did not cause serious damage to Gu's group, but the tsunami incident and the president's return date is very likely to be slim, and other things can easily cause turmoil among shareholders.
The public relations department said that it was very aggrieved, because it was a hot spot in the world, many newspapers could not receive the news, and simply cited international news to reprint and translate the report, plus the incident of Gu Xuanyuan maliciously using the investment case to defraud the company's investment money broke out at that time, and later Mrs. Shen Li was seriously injured and fell into a coma, etc., they were really busy.
Gu Huaizuo didn't mean to be held accountable, but just asked if there was any dereliction of duty, and after a little verbal reassurance, the public relations department knew that Gu Huaizuo was just understanding the situation and not being held accountable, and was also relieved. qq
At this time, the head of the public relations department was also a little bolder: "Mr. Gu, I heard that the Leng family held a dinner dance, and Miss Shen also participated, weren't you invited over?"
Gu Huaizuo was stunned for a moment, quickly understood the words of the Minister of Public Relations, and without saying a word, Gu Huaizuo quickly returned to the office.
The Leng family held a dinner party, but they didn't invite themselves, Gu Huaizuo easily guessed Leng Yan's role in it, and when he was dissatisfied, he also knew that it was not suitable, Gu Huaizuo drove straight home, changed into a decent but low-key black suit, and prepared to brush his face to participate.
Go there, as long as you can take a look at Shen Zhuxi from afar, Gu Huaizuo secretly told himself.
Shen Zhuxi's makeup and styling took a total of two hours, Leng Yan looked at Shen Zhuxi who was wearing a burgundy tuxedo evening dress, even though this evening dress was slightly more fabric, and it did not deliberately highlight the charm of the figure, but Shen Zhuxi's mature beauty has been set off to the fullest.
Leng Yan immediately put away his appreciative expression, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Let's go", then sat in the driver's seat and drove Shen Zhuxi to the hotel where the dinner was held.
Father Leng has already arrived, and has even met all the guests and old friends, who are sipping red wine at the moment, looking forward to the appearance of his son.
Leng Yan deliberately came late, and only came to the dinner hall after his father had completed all the polite procedures.
There were already many people dancing gracefully on the dance floor, and Leng Yan, who was late, still attracted everyone's attention.
"Yo! Nephew is here!"
Leng Yan has always been a rare guest in public, because his whereabouts have been low-key for many years, and he hardly participates in social occasions, it is really rare to see him once.
"Uncle. Leng Yan hooked the corners of his mouth to put a smile on his face, and beside him, Shen Zhuxi saw the grand scene, and his heart was already trembling.
Shen Zhuxi politely rushed over to greet the people who came by bowing slightly, and when they raised their eyes, almost everyone stopped and turned their eyes to Leng Yan.
Shen Zhuxi also had his own conjectures, Gu Huaizuo had only met Leng Yan once, and Leng Yan reached a cooperation agreement between families with Gu Huaizuo, his low profile seemed to be able to guess something.
Calmly faced with many celebrities, Shen Zhuxi stood in the corner coldly, unwilling to show his head, Leng Yan was really pulled away by the enthusiastic family partners, Shen Zhuxi stood alone in the corner, but he was not lonely and neglected.
Father Leng had already captured Shen Zhuxi's figure, looking at Shen Zhuxi, Father Leng secretly observed Shen Zhuxi in his heart, his temperament and demeanor were very decent, with a natural expression on his face that was neither humble nor arrogant, and his fair skin and good appearance had become many advantages in Father Leng's heart.
Leng Yan has been a person for many years, but in fact, the fact that Shen Zhuxi is just a "woman" is enough to convince Leng's father to accept him, and he doesn't want his son to continue to be lonely.
Father Leng beckoned to Jiang Zhi'an, and Jiang Zhian walked to Father Leng from one side.
"This girl, look up the background. Even though he is satisfied, Father Leng's mind is still delicate enough for his son.
Jiang Zhi'an nodded, and left Father Leng's side.
Shen Zhuxi sat alone on the sofa, watching the dancing on the dance floor, watching the conversation and laughter of everyone at the bar, and in the dim light, she didn't notice that at this time, a man was walking towards her.
"Miss, can you enjoy your face and dance with me?" the man smiled earnestly and said to Shen Zhuxi.
Shen Zhuxi subconsciously raised his eyes, and when he put away the expression on his face, his face was already slightly cold: "My partner will come over soon, I'm sorry." ”
When refusing, Shen Zhuxi didn't have time to check the other party's expression, and on the other side, the owner of the eyes staring at her, Shen Zhuxi had already seen who it was - Shen Zhuxi's elementary school classmate, Yan Yuqing.
Yan Yuqing was wearing a luxurious red evening dress, her waistline and sexiness were set off at a glance, Yan Yuqing had already seen Shen Zhuxi's appearance, and her mocking and contemptuous look had been hanging on her face for a long time.
"Yo, it's been a long time, I didn't expect to see you here. Yan Yuqing followed Shen Zhuxi's gaze slowly, and the disdainful smile on her face was unconcealed.
"Do you know?" The man who was rejected by Shen Zhuxi deliberately accosted him in order to alleviate the embarrassment.
Yan Yuqing's gaze never left Shen Zhuxi's face for a second, but she smiled at the man and said, "You really know how to pick a partner dancer, she doesn't know how to dance at all to refuse." ”
Shen Zhuxi thought it was funny and didn't say much.
"As Gu Huaizuo's predecessor, if he can dance, why didn't he attend the dinner with Gu Huaizuo and show himself?" Yan Yuqing did not hide his intentions at all.
Shen Zhuxi ignored her, but walked into the dance floor alone, even though there was no male dance partner, but Shen Zhuxi was already dancing, and his beautiful posture suddenly made everyone stop and watch quietly.
At the end of the song, applause came from the audience.
