Once one takes this most difficult step, the rest of the matter becomes a matter of course.

Shi Xiaonian accepted the clothes that Jian Hao bought for her, what can a mere shawl be counted?

Moreover, this shawl is also what Shi Xiaonian urgently needs at the moment.

She draped the shawl over her shoulders, and the light black shawl just right to block the empty place on Shi Xiaonian's back.

Jian Hao got into the car, he started the engine, held the steering wheel in his hand, turned his head to look at Shi Xiaonian, and found that she was not wearing a seat belt. He didn't hesitate, got up slightly, and helped Shi Xiaonian fasten the seat belt.

At the same time as he got up, the smell of lavender on his body went straight to Shi Xiaonian's nose, and the slight snort hit Shi Xiaonian's face, and Shi Xiaonian's cheeks were slightly red.

Jian Hao helped Shi Xiaonian fasten his seat belt, and he sat back in the driver's seat. Shi Xiaonian looked at him and said softly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Jian Hao drove slowly, on the road, when Xiao Nian asked him what kind of dinner he was going to attend this time, Jian Hao only said that it was the chairman of a certain company to celebrate his 60th birthday.

Being able to invite Jian Hao shows that the chairman of this company should be not small, and when they arrived at the banquet together, Shi Xiaonian saw the grand scene in front of her, and she was even more determined in her inner thoughts.

She followed Jian Hao into the door of the hotel, and when she first entered, she took Jian Hao's arm and asked in a whisper, "Should it be until twelve o'clock in the night?"

Shi Xiaonian was a little nervous, modern people have to wait for twelve o'clock at midnight for their birthdays, and then they will bloom and stagger. And there were so many guests present, looking at the past were all men and women in formal clothes, one by one, I am afraid it will take a long time. Moreover, banquets like this often have a commercial nature, and there are very few people who simply celebrate birthdays, and most people will make friends.

This is another extremely time-consuming thing, and Shi Xiaonian rarely participates in this kind of occasion, so she is a little unaccustomed to it.

Jian Hao nodded and said hello to an oncoming man, and then whispered softly in Shi Xiaonian's ear: "No." Even if these people wanted to stay that late, the host of the banquet didn't have that time. Jian Hao explained, "Because he is about to cross the year of the sixtieth year, the host of the banquet began to pay attention to health, it is said that he must go to bed before nine o'clock every day, and get up at half past five every year to exercise, rain or shine, never stopped." ”

"It's fine. ”

Hearing Jian Hao say this, Shi Xiaonian calmed down, and when he caught a glimpse of her happy face, Jian Hao stopped, and suddenly smiled again: "However, such a banquet, even if it only lasts for two hours, is extremely boring and boring. ”

Shi Xiaonian felt defeated, and couldn't help but collapse her face, she didn't like this atmosphere the most, even if it was so commercial, it was boring and boring, so she might as well find a place to enjoy the food to the fullest, since it was the birthday of the chairman of a company, delicious food should be indispensable.

And just when Shi Xiaonian was planning like this, Jian Hao added leisurely: "By the way, when you follow me, the chairman has some friendship with me, and he invited me to be at the same table with him, and I just introduced you to him." ”

"Huh?"

Before Shi Xiaonian could react, Jian Hao pulled her to the main table. At this moment, Xiao Nian didn't even have a chance to refuse, and she suddenly felt that the world was full of malice.

Jian Hao took Shi Xiaonian into the seat, and when Shi Xiaonian was distracted, Jian Hao began to talk to the host of the banquet. Shi Xiaonian carefully glanced at the host of the banquet and found that it was an old man with an elegant temperament.

Although it is the year of the sixtieth year, it looks like he is in good spirits. And just when Shi Xiaonian was looking at the other party, the old man happened to look at her.

"Who is this young lady?"

Zheng Jinzhong's inquiring gaze fell on Jian Hao's face, Jian Hao was thoughtful, and it seemed that it was difficult to locate Shi Xiaonian's identity.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shi Xiaonian hurriedly introduced himself: "Hello chairman, my name is Shi Xiaonian." ”

"It turned out to be Miss Shi, thank you Miss Shi for coming to my birthday party today, I toast you. ”

"Whereever, I should respect you. ”

Shi Xiaonian picked up the wine glass, she didn't think much about it, but when the wine entered her throat, she felt that her throat was hot.

God, there was a white liquid in the cup, Shi Xiaonian thought it was Sprite, but it turned out to be white wine, and she drank half a glass......

She wanted to cry without tears.

"Miss Shi has a good amount of alcohol. ”

Zheng Jinzhong saw Shi Xiaonian dry half a glass of liquor so violently, and he was sincerely admired. And Shi Xiaonian smiled on the surface, but he had already scolded in his heart.

Jian Hao looked at Zheng Jinzhong's praise and praised Shi Xiaonian, and he lazily mended the knife: "Actually, she has a very small amount of alcohol." ”

"......" Shi Xiao Nian felt that Jian Hao always liked to hit her, and she would die if she gave her some face!

Zheng Jinzhong smiled and looked at Jian Hao undeniably. He turned his head and chatted with the people next to him.

Shi Xiaonian originally planned to have a "fierce and gentle" eating appearance, but now sitting at the main table, this idea should not be considered. She sat next to Jian Hao, in order not to be ashamed, she tried to recall the elegant appearance that she would only have when she pretended to be a lady.

But the tempering and hardship of the previous life, what a happy thing it is to have a full meal, who cares about eating? Shi Xiaonian is really powerless, she feels that elegance should be a matter of the previous life, and it has nothing to do with her in this life.

Well, although she has no experience, she can fry and sell it now, and there are so many ladies and ladies at the table next to her, she just needs to learn from them.

Well, clip a chopstick dish – smile.

When the other person looks at her - smiles.

When you finish eating - smile.

From the beginning of the banquet, Shi Xiaonian kept a smile on his face, and at the end...... The face froze.

finally waited for the halfway through the banquet, and saw that people got up and left one after another, Shi Xiaonian kept a smile on her face, she pulled Jian Hao's clothes, and motioned for him to leave. Before Jian Hao could speak, he heard Zheng Jinzhong Shi Ran say: "Xiao Hao, you will accompany me to see off the guests later." ”

"Okay. ”

Completely ignoring Shi Xiaonian's gesture, Jian Hao agreed.

Jian Hao didn't leave, and Shi Xiaonian couldn't leave, which made Shi Xiaonian a little depressed. After a while, Zheng Jinzhong and Jian Hao got up, and when Shi Xiaonian saw that they were going to see off the guests, she began to make a small calculation in her heart.

The people at the main table didn't move their chopsticks at all, so a large table on the table was almost unchanged, and when Jian Hao and the elegant old man went to see off the guests, Shi Xiaonian could show her "gentle and fierce" eating appearance.

Thinking in his heart, Shi Xiaonian felt slightly comforted in his heart.

But before she could put her plan into action, Jian Hao pulled her, and Shi Xiaonian was forced to stand up. She whispered, "Why are you pulling me?"

"Come with me to see off the guests. ”

Jian Hao said slowly.

"Isn't that your business with the old man, what's my business. ”

"Mr. Zheng said, let me take you. ”

“……”

In this way, Shi Xiaonian followed Jian Hao half-hungry to see off the guests.

Sending off guests is a tiring job, you have to stand at the exit of the hall, Jian Hao was born in a family, and he has been trained since he was a child, so he has long been used to dealing with such a scene. Compared with his ease, Shi Xiaonian didn't know what to say at all except for a few polite words that were repeated over and over again.

While sending off the guests, she wondered why she had just joined the team to send off the guests because she was just here to make soy sauce.

Moreover, Shi Xiaonian didn't understand, Jian Hao could handle it alone, what did the elegant old man mean by letting her accompany Jian Hao to send off guests?

Shi Xiaonian didn't know, in fact, this was what Jian Hao meant.

Because of Jian Hao's identity, almost everyone present knew him. And after they finished greeting Jian Hao, they all looked at Shi Xiaonian in unison, which made Shi Xiaonian stiffly smile, why did she think that the smiles of these people were so ambiguous, so reverie, God knows that she and Jian Hao are not as they think.

Shi Xiaonian took advantage of Jian Hao's conversation with a noblewoman-like person, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and secretly glanced at it. It's already ten o'clock, Jian Hao lied to her again, didn't the host of the banquet sleep at nine o'clock, why is he still sending guests now?

Then Shi Xiaonian glanced at the direction of Zheng Jinzhong's send-off, and when she saw the people sent by Zheng Jinzhong, she instantly understood. The one standing on the left of Zheng Jinzhong, isn't it the mayor of the city? And the one on his right, I'll go, isn't that guy the creator of the XXX brand, although the thing is easy to use, but it's expensive!

And just when Shi Xiaonian secretly wanted commercial capitalists to suck people's blood and didn't have a good thing, he heard someone behind him ask, "What are you doing?"

"I'm wondering when I'm going back, and besides, why don't you tell the chairman that you have something to do and go first?"

"But I don't have anything to do at night. ”

Jian Hao replied nonchalantly.

...... "You have nothing to do, I have it, I still have a lot of clothes in my dormitory that haven't been washed!"

Finally sent all the guests present away, Shi Xiaonian breathed a sigh of relief, Jian Hao and Zheng Jinzhong finished greeting, walked to Shi Xiaonian's side, and said to her, "Let's go." ”

"Can I go?"

Shi Xiaonian's eyes lit up.

"Or you're going to stay overnight?"

Jian Hao asked rhetorically.

Shi Xiaonian immediately shook her head like a rattle, she followed Jian Hao and walked out of the hotel quickly.

When she walked out of the hotel, Shi Xiaonian found that she had left her bag in the hall, she told Jian Hao that she wanted to go back and get it, and Jian Hao nodded.

Shi Xiaonian walked back, and when she arrived at the hotel lobby, she found that there was no one in the audience, she walked to her position just now, but she didn't see her bag.

"Hey, where's that?"

Shi Xiaonian frowned, she remembered that she put her bag on the chair, how could it be gone?

And just as she lowered her head to look for her bag, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and the surroundings became pitch black. Shi Xiaonian was startled, but she didn't scream, she stood still motionless.

The surroundings were quiet and terrible, Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, how could the lights suddenly turn off in the hotel, it couldn't be a short circuit somewhere, right?

She guessed, not realizing that there was anyone behind her. By the time she could react, all she could do was feel a hard blow to her neck, and then she lost consciousness.

When Xiao Nian came to her senses, she found herself locked in a dark house, surrounded by a musty smell.

The situation made her brows tighten.
