Xiao Zhao was on time, and drove the car to the door of the villa at half past five.

Chang An was not happy, but at this point, she couldn't do anything to make a temperament, so she could only change her skirt and sweep two light makeup strokes and go out.

"Xiao Zhao, hard work. "She was always gentle and polite to everyone.

Xiao Zhao was flattered and opened the back seat door for her.

The car drove up the avenue and went to the second ring road, Chang An couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Where is Ah Yan eating tonight?"

"Did you say Mr. Zhou?"

"Hmm. ”

"It should be at the Yunling Hotel, there is a meeting over there in the afternoon, Xu Zhu went with him, it seems that the organizer has a banquet in the evening, and Mr. Zhou asked me to pick you up. ”

Hearing that it seemed to be a very formal occasion, Chang An couldn't help but tighten in his heart.

Except for the family banquet, Zhou Wei never took her out to see anyone.

Soon the car arrived at the Yunling Hotel, Xiao Zhao put Chang An down at the door and went to park the car by himself

Chang An was a little at a loss, and stood at the door for a while, the hotel lobby was full of people, and she had to go in.

Yunling Hotel can only be regarded as a four-star, established for some years, so compared to the current hundreds of millions of decoration costs of the super five-star luxury hotel, the lobby seems a little shabby, but Yunling Hotel is operated under the name of the government, and it is not worried about no business, in recent years, it is mainly used to undertake some large state-owned enterprises or government reception and conference work.

As soon as Chang An entered the lobby, he saw the display screen in the middle, and the display screen was circulating with several red fonts of "Promoting the New Industrial Decade Action and the Luyang Lake Major Project Mobilization Conference".

Chang An's heart has begun to retreat, what is this, she originally thought it was just a simple social dinner, but now this battle, a meeting like a government program, how can Zhou Xian be like this!

Chang Anxin slandered in his heart, took out his mobile phone and was about to call Zhou Wei, but the other party's phone called first.

Zhou Wei: "Arrived?"

Chang An's voice was a little muffled: "I just arrived, but..."

Zhou Wei: "Where?"

Chang An: "But I don't think this occasion is suitable for me today!"

Zhou Yan stopped.

Chang An hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "I think I'd better go back, Xiao Zhao should still be at the door, I'm ......"

Zhou Wei: "Where?"

Chang An: "......"

Zhou Wei: "What about you, where are you now?"

Chang'an: "Hotel lobby!"

Zhou Wei: "Then you stand there and wait for me." ”

Chang An: "......"

A few minutes later, Zhou Wei came out of the elevator and saw Chang An standing in the sofa area of the lobby from a distance, with his back to him rummaging through the magazines on the shelves.

The hair that has been draped is tied up by her, braided into a four-strand braid hanging behind her head, and the body is a long-sleeved waist-cinching knitted skirt, three-dimensional hollow pattern, elegant and generous and very in line with her gentle temperament, the only thing that makes Zhou Wei feel unhappy is that the skirt is a little short, and she doesn't even wear a pair of stockings underneath.

Zhou Yan walked over against the socket.

"This way!"

Chang An heard the voice and turned around.

His heart skipped a beat.

Chang An took two steps forward and said, "You have a meeting here, isn't the dinner in the evening very formal?" I don't think I'm very comfortable, why don't you change someone to accompany you, I'll go back first?"

She was anxious to express her desire to leave, but she didn't notice anything strange in Zhou Wei's eyes, he stared at her tightly, and after looking at it for a while, a smile slowly ignited in his eyes.

Chang An was made even more weak by him.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Makeup?"

“……”

"It's beautiful!"

It is rare for him to praise women, but he is sincere, or not sincere, he is against his will, and he should really be described as "amazing".

Chang'an's beauty lies in her quiet and soft but unaware, such as a clear spring, such as flower bones, she drew her eyebrows and swept the rouge today, the cherry red lip gloss was wiped, the lips were more red, and the light was really beautiful and moving, flowing back to the snow.

Chang An's cheeks flushed because of the three words Zhou Wei, she was not praised, let alone teased.

Zhou Wei is extremely useful.

A middle-aged man came over at the door, and he seemed to know Zhou Wei.

"Mr. Zhou, the upstairs is about to start, why don't you go up?"

Zhou Wei naturally grabbed Chang An's waist, "Just go up!"

The middle-aged man immediately looked at Chang An, looked up and down, and smiled a little meaningfully, "Understood, don't bother, I'll see you later!"

Chang An looked depressed, what did he understand?

Here, Zhou Wei's arms tightened, leaned down, and his breath fluttered in Chang An's ear: "Go up, huh?"

Chang An: "......"

Because it is an "official banquet", it is natural that it will not be extravagant, but it is not a big banquet hall, and there are about seven or eight tables, round tables, a red tablecloth is laid on it, and a circle of cold dishes is placed on the small glass disc one by one, and there are no unusual dishes, and the most expensive is estimated to be the plate of boiled shrimp, and in the middle are the drinks of kola fruit orange, and a bottle of liquor.

The wine is not a good wine, and the six-year-old Kouzi Cellar sells for about 100 yuan a bottle in the supermarket.

This kind of banquet is really shabby, but the people who can sit at the table tonight are all predators of real estate companies worth at least one billion, after all, it is a key project of the government, and it is not just a random developer who can get an "admission ticket".

Of course, in addition to the protagonists of real estate predators, there are some other roles, such as banks, financial investment and consulting institutions, and then there are large construction companies and plate building materials suppliers, which are also indispensable branches on the big tree of real estate, and ZF plays a role in this is to match the bridge, saying that the good is called "matchmaker", and the ugly is called "old bustard".

But maybe the "old bustard" is more suitable, because after all, it is mutually beneficial.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and neither is dinner.

However, Chang An doesn't understand this, real estate in her heart is nothing more than buying land to build a house and then selling it, and today she was just "coaxed" by Zhou Wei to accompany him to have a meal.

The person had already arrived at the door, and when she saw the table set up inside and the waiter who welcomed the guests, she pulled out a very reluctant smile.

"Is there a table number for this?" she whispered to the man beside her.

Zhou Yi smiled and didn't say anything, but arched the arm that was attached to Chang An slightly.

"Hold me, hold me and I'll tell you!"

“……”

Chang An was speechless, she felt that this man had become more and more abnormal recently, and there happened to be an acquaintance passing by next to him, and he greeted Zhou Wei very politely, Chang An was always the most well-behaved in the crowd, for fear of losing face in a minute, so he returned Zhou Mian's proper smile, and his arm was still loosely raised.

The two walked into the banquet hall side by side, seven or eight round tables were scattered on both sides, Chang An was wearing a white dress, with a good temperament, young and beautiful, while Zhou Yi was wearing a light gray handmade westward turn, tall, tall and handsome, walking together naturally became a scenery in the hall.

After walking for a while, Zhou Qian suddenly stretched out his other hand and patted Chang An to hold the back of his hand, "What's the matter, nervous?"

"No, how is it possible!"

She was able to do it, but the visibly tight cheeks had betrayed her heart.

Zhou Wei suddenly pulled his arm out of the crook of her arm, held her hand instead, pressed down slightly to accommodate her height, and said, "Don't be nervous, just have a meal!"

Chang An's head tightened, and he lagged for a second before he realized that his palm had been wrapped by him, and his fingers were interlocked, touching his dry and warm palm.

The two of them walked through the banquet hall in this posture that can be called intimacy, Chang An accepted the attention of the guests on both sides all the way, saying that it was fake not to be nervous, it was not that she had stage fright, she had experienced a lot of big scenes since she was a child, she was not as unbearable as a child from a small family, but Chang An didn't like the feeling of being overly concerned since she was a child.

"Why does it feel like everyone in the audience is staring at me?" she couldn't help but whisper to Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei chuckled: "Maybe it's because you're the most beautiful!"

Chang An: "......"

She felt that this man was a little too impetuous tonight, which was very different from usual, but Zhou Wei was actually right, he was basically at the level of an industry boss who could get mixed into this position, and the general age was 50+, and it was rare for a young and promising person like Zhou to attend, and this kind of official banquet could be attended with family members, the so-called family members must be real family members, and those warblers and Yanyan who were raised outside naturally couldn't get on the show.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand that the main rooms of the bigwigs have entered middle age, and even if the maintenance is good, at most they will end up with a "charm", like Chang An, a green and tender "alien" in his early twenties, suddenly entered this room, and it is strange that he is not concerned.

Chang An is not a fool, and he understands after walking a few steps.

"No wonder," she chuckled.

Zhou Wei: "What's the wonder?"

Chang An: "No wonder you brought me to this meal, because my identity is here." ”

Zhou Wei was choked in vain again, her brain turned upside down quickly, but she was thinking crankily all day long!

The two of them walked to the front table with their fingers clasped around each other, there were already seven or eight people sitting on the table, only two empty seats in the direction of the door, Zhou Yan pulled out one of the chairs, and wrapped his arms around Chang An: "Sit down." ”

Chang An always acted like a "Mrs. Zhou" on the scene, she smiled and looked at Zhou Wei: "Thank you!" Then she closed her skirt and sat down, and when she looked up, she only heard her heartstrings breaking, as if she was cut off from the middle of life.

Chang An never thought that he would see Chen Haodong again on this occasion, the smile on his face could no longer be maintained, little by little, the rouge could not hide the paleness, how could Zhou not see these subtle changes, but his face was unharmed, and he also sat down beside Chang An, reached over and shook Chang An's fingers that were holding his knees.

"What's wrong, cold?" The voice was really gentle and nice, but the more Chang An felt a chill on his back.

She immediately pulled her hand out of his palm, "No!" The look of avoiding suspicion was really obvious, Zhou Wei's eyes sank, and he didn't force it, but he just raised his hand and called the waiter over, "Please turn up the heating temperature, thank you!" When I looked up, I just saw Chang An and Chen Haodong looking at each other in the air, the former endured grief, and the latter seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and it didn't look abnormal.

Very well, flirting in front of him?

The rest of the people at the same table didn't know the relationship between the three of them at all, but the focus was on Chang An, and everyone at this table didn't bring a female dependent, so she naturally became the focus of the whole table.

One of the bald men in a plaid shirt couldn't hold back at first, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, have you changed your taste recently, and you have begun to like this kind of jasmine Xiaoqingkou?"

Zhou Tao's face also sank, and he wanted to speak, but Chen Haodong on the other side touched the teacup and suddenly snorted: "Luo Dong, things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be talked nonsense, the person in front of you is not the one that Mr. Zhou raised outside, she is married to the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou, isn't it?"

When he said the last three words, he slowly turned to Chang An.

Chang An's palms were sweaty, no wonder Chang Jiahui said that she was a lamb to be slaughtered in front of Chen Haodong, she didn't fight back or resist, but she looked at his obviously playful black eyes, and suddenly felt sad in her heart.

What to do?

Her memories and feelings are still stuck in five years ago, Chen Haodong took her to escape to a small fishing village, the morning sun set, he hugged her and sat on the beach, the waves rolled the wind, and he kissed the root of her ear.

He said: "Chang An, Lao Tzu will support you in the future." ”

Chang An was less than eighteen years old that year, such a well-behaved girl, she took everything he said seriously, and fantasized day and night for this sentence in London in the past few years.

Finally came back, and sat down across from him, close at hand, but this was the case.

Chang An lowered his head and smiled.

How sad, how sad.

Zhou Wei saw the despair between her eyebrows and eyes, and Mu Ran remembered what she said when she was drunk the night before.

Although it is not clear what happened between Chang An and Chen Haodong, her "pain" was written on her face clearly, no, it was written in her eyes, especially when she looked at Chen Haodong, her crystal pupils were full of grievances and restraint, not concealed at all, not pretended at all, as if the other party gave an order, she could immediately fall into his arms and cry until she was angry.

She probably only didn't pretend in front of him, and this realization made Zhou Shen feel very unhappy.

"Yes, this is my wife, it's the first time I've brought her out to participate in this kind of dinner, so take care of her!" Zhou Wei held Chang An's hand and introduced, in a few words, his expression was natural, but this back and forth had already shown a soft meaning.

Chang An didn't shrink this time, and tried to squeeze a smile to return to everyone present, but he just skipped Chen Haodong's direction.

Sometimes people are like that, desperate enough to fight back.

Originally, Mr. Luo, who said that she was Xiao Jasmine, had a somewhat sneering face, and she was obviously the mother of the main palace, but he said that she was a little flower in front of so many people, which was really embarrassing.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm too old to see well, Mrs. Zhou, don't mind. He laughed at himself and saved the day.

Chang An knew the proportions and patiently replied: "It's okay, I know you're joking, and it's also strange that I rarely come out and walk around." ”

"That's right, although I have long heard that Mr. Zhou married a young and beautiful girl, I have never seen the real person, thinking it is a rumor. ”

"This matter is to blame Mr. Zhou, hiding such a beautiful wife at home, what's the matter, the golden house is Jiaojiao, and he is afraid that others will rob him when he brings it out?"

Every word you say to me at the table is not only a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but also to save the embarrassing scene just now.

Chang An maintained a smile on his face, but in fact, he was so disgusted in his heart that he couldn't do it, these greasy middle-aged men who violated the yang and the yin.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan also followed the atmosphere on the table, took Chang An's hand and put it on the table, and gently twisted her fingers, "Yes, my wife is so good, I'm really afraid of being robbed when I take it out." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Chang An's face, his eyes were full of tenderness and affection, and others would mistakenly think that he had really changed his ways and wanted to be a good husband who favored his wife, but Chang An saw the hint of warning in his eyes.

What is he warning about?

The fingers tightened suddenly, and he twisted and pinched on it.

Chang An's brows furrowed, "You hurt me." She exhaled softly, in a voice that only Zhou Wei could hear.

Zhou Wei was used, and finally let go, but when he looked up, he collided with a pair of cold eyes on the other side.

Chen Haodong said with unclear intentions: "Mr. Zhou, then you have to be optimistic, after all, the market outside is fierce." ”

The others definitely didn't understand what Chen Haodong meant, and they picked up, "Xiao Chen, what did you say, I don't know, what do you think?"

Another person helped again: "How can it, Xiao Chen is the master, Lao He has mentioned it to me more than once at the card table, saying that you are much more competitive than his son, and in the future, Yuan Xi's Chenglong fast son-in-law, you have to squeak with me when you marry the daughter of the old He family, I will wrap a red envelope and drink the happy wine." ”

Probably everyone here has a role arranged, and as soon as the lights are turned on and the curtain is pulled, they have to perform according to their own role.

Chang An seems to have been immune, He Ling, it is said that he and Chen Haodong have been dating for two years, that is to say, they were already together before Chen Haodong entered the drug rehabilitation center, and what was Chang An doing two years ago?

She recalled, as if in the hospital, as if in that house in London again.

I don't remember, those years were muddy, one day equals a year, and a year is like only one day, no difference.

……

Dinner was served in this atmosphere of polite sycophancy and innocuous jokes from time to time.

During this period, someone always came to toast, and when he went around to Chang'an, he always deliberately asked: "Mr. Zhou, this... What's new?"

"The style is different from your previous ones, and you have changed your taste?"

"It looks pretty small, and I'm still studying..."

All of them are frivolous, anyway, few people can think that the person in front of them is the justifiable Mrs. Zhou, just as Zhou Xian's new love.

Zhou Wei coped with it quite naturally, and he took the trouble to introduce people: "No, this is my wife!"

"Yo, it's Mrs. Zhou?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to really get married, I've heard it before, I thought it was a rumor..."

It's also strange that the two got married in a low-key manner, except for a few people who knew each other, few people had seen Chang'an.

Chang An didn't care about these people's words, but he felt that this kind of occasion was really difficult, especially when there was a Chen Haodong sitting opposite, although he had been chatting with people on WeChat with his mobile phone, and laughed a little from time to time, Chang An naturally knew who was on the other end of WeChat, so she felt like she was being tortured every minute that passed, and finally boiled up to the waiter on the sweet soup, indicating that the table was almost over.

It was almost nine o'clock to end, and Chang An was the first to go out.

It was cooling down outside, and there was still a little light rain, so Zhou Wei asked Xiao Zhao to drive the car directly to the door of the hotel, and took off his suit and put it on Chang An's shoulder.

"Not in a good mood?" he asked, seemingly casually.

Chang An didn't answer, but his face was cloudy and rainy, and he had already given the answer.

Zhou Wei knew in his heart, but just sneered.

Finally waited for Xiao Zhao's car, and was about to go up, when Zhou Wei suddenly wrapped an arm around his shoulder: "Mr. Zhou, let's go? I have booked a box in Dingyan and go to Lele together!"

Chang An was taken aback, and turned around to see a fat-headed and big-eared drunk pestering Zhou, and he could smell the pungent smell of wine on his body from more than half a meter away.

She vaguely remembered that the introduction on the wine table just now seemed to be the owner of a building materials store, surnamed Zhang or surnamed Jin, a native of Fujian, who spoke Mandarin that was not authentic.

Zhou Wei's face was ugly, but he couldn't do anything at the door of the hotel, he only hung up the other party's arm and helped him slightly, "Boss Jin, I won't go, there's something to do!"

"Don't, what's the matter at such a late hour? Besides, the meeting is going to wilt for half a day, and the big things at night are not as important as drinking and having fun, and you see...... Mr. Luo and Mr. Chen both went, and President Chu was also together, so it was a rare opportunity to sit down and chat together...... The wine over there is well boiled, and it is stronger than the boiled water here. ”

"Boiled water" naturally refers to a bottle of Kouzi Cellar for hundreds of dollars.

It's just that Chang An sneered lightly in his heart, boiled water still drunk you so much, but just after the belly was slandered, the other party suddenly turned the spearhead, "Oh, I understand, it's inconvenient to go because my brother and sister are here?... It's okay, tonight is a vegetarian field, if your brother and sister are not at ease, you can go with you. ”

Chang An frowned, what kind of meat field, just this Jin boss's nouveau riche drunken appearance has made her unbearable.

"I'm sorry, I don't have a habit of drinking, you guys go, I'll let Xiao Zhao send me back first." "She plays the role of an informed and interesting wife.

Zhou Wei couldn't help but sneer in his heart, you still don't know how to drink?

Here, Boss Jin saw Chang An loosen his mouth, and buckled it on Zhou Wei's shoulder again, "Look, even my younger brothers and sisters are approved, will Mr. Zhou not give Jin face if he doesn't go today?" This person pretended to be crazy and stupid, which made Zhou Wei in a dilemma.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of a car at the opposite intersection, and then someone ran down from the taxi.

"Haodong, Chen Haodong, where is it!"

Chang An's heart tightened unconsciously when he heard this name, and when he looked over, he saw He Lingxing, who was dressed sexy and fashionable, rushing over and throwing himself into the arms of Chen Haodong, who had just walked out of the hall.

Here, Boss Jin shouted at them again: "President Chu, Mr. Chen, have you come to the car, box 406, why don't you go first?"

Chen Haodong heard the shouting and swam over, and naturally saw Chang An standing next to Zhou Wei.

It turned out that the "Mr. Chen" in Boss Jin's mouth was him, He Ling was already glued to him at that time, and he didn't know what excitement he was talking about, his big watery eyes were sparkling in the night, and Chen Haodong didn't know when he lit a cigarette and pinched it in his hand, only glanced at Chang An's side, and then leaned down and hugged He Ling and bit her ear.

The picture is actually quite ordinary, nothing more than the daily interaction between couples, but Chang An suddenly seems to have been fed a pill, or poison.

She turned to Zhou Wei and said lightly: "Why don't you go and have fun, I haven't been there anyway, so I should go with you for a long time?"
