Chapter 75: Dongfang Xing
Dongfang Xing has been the youngest chairman in the history of the Republic since he took office in 05, at the age of 45, and at the beginning of his tenure, he has taken drastic measures to eradicate corrupt elements in the government, found out a number of corrupt officials, and built a clean and honest government, which has been well received.
As the supreme ruler of the most powerful country in the East, Dongfang Xing was not angry and self-assured, and after arriving at the scene, the originally noisy banquet hall was quiet in an instant, only the sound of "click" footsteps was heard, and the black shiny leather shoes collided with the smooth marble floor, as if the alarm bell was ringing in people's ears.
Jiang Li stood next to Li Gan, quietly looking at this supreme figure who was in charge of Huaxia Jiangshan and influencing the direction of Shijie's pattern, and suddenly his heart tightened, because his keen and abnormal spiritual power felt a beam of essence light coming from the other party's eyes and sweeping over his body.
This gaze is fleeting, and it contains a hint of vigilance, who is it wary of? Jiang Li didn't know, there were quite a few figures standing beside him, Li Gan, Lu Fang, Fang Tianming, and Hua Tianrong......
Of course, it can't be aimed at him, a fledgling new character.
Dongfang Xing walked to the front, turned around, and began his routine opening remarks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, yesterday, the 2007 Chinese Music Festival came to a successful conclusion, thank you for your support, participation and visit, here, I would like to mention one person in particular, that is, Jiang Li, the winner of the Best Newcomer Award. At this time, Dongfang Xing paused intentionally and looked in the direction of Jiang Li.
Hmmm――
Everyone looked at Jiang Li, and he suddenly became the focus of the audience, you know, there are people with status and status here, and they see how much pressure they have together.
Dongfang Xing had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued: "Congratulations to him for setting a new record, Huaxia is exactly what needs a musical genius like him!"
On the four words zuihou, Dongfang Xing accentuated his tone, and Jiang Xingzhong tightened again, because he realized that the vigilance shown by the other party before was probably aimed at him, although it was unbelievable and incomprehensible, but just now, he felt a similar aura from the other party, but after all, it was far away, not very sure, and it could also be an illusion.
Jiang Li tried to calm down, now that everyone was waiting for his response, he couldn't lose his temper.
"Thank you Chairman for your appreciation, Jiang is not talented, and he is willing to contribute to the music industry of China. Jiang Li said loudly, answering in a decent manner, there were no bright spots, but at least he would not make mistakes.
Dongfang Xing nodded lightly, and then spoke, after speaking, the banquet was announced, the band played elegant and light classical music, and everyone sat down at the mahogany round table in the banquet hall, there were no special requirements and rules, but generally people who were close to each other would sit at the same table, ten people per table.
Jiang Li was originally going to find a corner to sit down in, but he didn't expect to be invited to the main table, that is, the table where the host Dongfang Xing was.
There are so many people with identities present, how should it not be his turn, but the unbelievable thing happened, Dongfang Xing personally asked the secretary to come and invite, and he didn't dare to disobey.
"Jiang Li, the chairman asked you to sit down, he said, newcomers should be vigorously supported, encouraged, in the future, this world is your world, so he hopes that you can become the future pillar of this country, do you understand?"
I don't understand.
Jiang Li really wanted to say this, but he still stubbornly went, he vaguely realized that in the superstructure of Huaxia, a storm was brewing, and now, the edge of the storm had touched him.
There were still Li Gan and Lu Fang and others sitting at the main table, Li Gan pulled Jiang Li to sit beside him, and on the other side was Fang Tianming, an unusual aura was circulating on the table.
And Dongfang Xing, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, closing his eyes and recuperating, tapping his fingers on the table, secretly matching the rhythm of the music, no mistake, it can be seen that the other party must have good musical attainments.
This shijie, because the status of music is extremely high, it is common for politicians to come from music, even if they are not from music, they must know music very well, otherwise it is difficult to communicate with people.
Jiang Li is like sitting on pins and needles, but on the surface, he is calm and quiet.
The neatly dressed waiter began to serve the dishes in an orderly manner, first serving cold dishes, cold dishes for a long time, three rounds of wine, and then hibiscus and bamboo soup, then three threads of shark fin, two prawns, coconut steamed chicken and straw mushroom vegetables, the same one after another, four dishes and one soup, the timing is extremely accurate to ensure the taste and texture.
Talking about the dishes, talking about the music, and between the words, they all seem to be meaningful, intriguing.
Fortunately, Dongfang Xing finally stopped targeting him, or deliberately ignored it, otherwise Jiang Lizhen was not sure if he could afford it.
More than half an hour later, a sturdy man in a suit and leather shoes walked up to Dongfang Xing, whispered a few words, Dongfang Xing said goodbye and left, for a while, the atmosphere was a lot more active, it seems that even the characters here are quite afraid of this resolute president of the Chinese Republic.
Soon after Dongfang Xing left, all the dishes were removed and replaced with fruit desserts and snacks, at this time, everyone no longer sat at the table, but moved around, holding wine glasses, touching each other, talking a little, as if they were friends.
Jiang Li thought that he could finally relax, and saw Fang Tianming walking up to him and said with a smile: "How about it, do you have time to talk?"
"Well, Uncle Fang, please say something. ”
"Haha, cool, but we'll have to change places. ”
Fang Tianming and Jiang Li walked out of the banquet hall together, Li Gan looked at the backs of the two of them, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and Lu Fang said very unceremoniously: "Li Gan, are you really sure that Jiang Li will not join Huaxia Records? I think the two of them seem to be quite compatible." ”
"No!" Li Qian replied with certainty.
"Jiang Li is a smart person, there are already so many hints, maybe he can't see through the situation, but at least he should know what he can't easily agree, besides, when Fang Tianming threw an olive branch in the "Huaxia Music Association Daily", Jiang Li didn't say anything, it had already proved his choice, if he wanted to find a big backer, he would have found it a long time ago, how could he be trapped in Su Province for so long. ”
"That's the best, even Dongfang Xing has noticed him, things are getting more and more tricky, I hope he will do it himself, don't mistake his future, otherwise I will make it difficult for him to move an inch in Huaxia!"
Li Gan suddenly had a trace of anger in his heart for no reason, and glanced at Lu Fang coldly, not even realizing that he himself.
Jiang Li and Fang Tianming came back soon, Fang Tianming was still like that, talking and laughing, his voice was loud, and he was full of confidence, while Jiang Li found a place to bury his head in eating without saying a word.
Of course, he is not idle, or someone comes to talk every once in a while, and he responds with a smile, but there is a slight reluctance in that smile.
"Brother, aren't you happy?" Ripple tugged at the corner of Jiang Li's clothes, and asked tentatively in a low voice, "Is it because Ripple is hiding something from you?" Ripple, Ripple really didn't mean it, it's just that my brother used to practice the guitar so hard, and both hands were blistered and cocooned, still, it still doesn't work...... Ripples were heard when my brother was crying, and Ripples didn't want my brother to cry, so don't want this musical talent!"
Jiang Li was slightly stunned, I didn't expect it to be like this, yes, he loved music so much in the original shijie, and when he arrived at this shijie who was born for music, he naturally loved it even more, but he loved it but had no talent, even if he could cry and be sad, there was no fuss.
Lovelorn people can't stand the stimulation of showing affection, Zhang Nara and Ripple, the two people closest to him, know this very well, so they coincidentally made the same decision, hiding their musical talents, just to not stimulate him, just to be as ordinary as him.
He's such a fragile man.
And you, what two big fools.
Jiang Li suddenly brightened up, and the depression after talking to Fang Tianming was swept away, although Huaxia Records was powerful, he would definitely not compromise!
He wants to go his own way and live his own wonderful life, he is no longer the weak Jiang Li who is not full of five tones!
And he must not let his family worry! No matter what decision is made, and the consequences of such a decision, he must bear it all!
Jiang Li smiled slightly, rubbed his rippling little head lovingly, and said, "Fool, my brother wasn't unhappy just now, it's just that those people are too annoying and always disturb me to fill my stomach, so I'm dissatisfied." ”
In fact, his stomach was indeed a little hungry, because he really didn't eat anything during the main meal just now, and that kind of formal occasion could only be ordered to stop, and he couldn't eat calmly in that environment, but now he was obviously lying to say this, in order not to worry Ripples.
"It turns out that my brother is a big gluttonous cat!" Ripple stuck out his tongue, his eyes flashed slightly, "I'm a little gluttonous cat, and I want to eat it too." ”
Ripples snatched Jiang Li and ate a small half of the mille-feuille oil cake, which is a famous snack in Yangzhou City, Suzhou Province, diamond-shaped blocks, hibiscus color, translucent, clear layers, layers of sugar and oil, soft and tender, sweet and delicious, in fact, Jiang Li doesn't like to eat very much, because it is sweeter, but just now the ghost picked it up and took a bite, it can't be lost, and Ripples must have seen this, so he took advantage of the situation to relieve him.
Jiang Li quietly wiped the sugar oil from the corners of his mouth for Ripples, and said, "By the way, what do you think of Teacher Fu's proposal, are you willing to learn violin with her?"
"I'm ......" Ripple blinked his eyes wide, suddenly lowered his head, and silently ate the oil cake while struggling violently in his heart.
If you choose to learn violin with Fu Licheng, you can undoubtedly only stay in the capital, which means separation from Jiang Li, but if you don't choose......
"What choice does my brother want me to make?" Ripple suddenly asked.
"Uh......" Jiang Li thought for a moment and asked, "Does Ripple like the violin?"
"Like. ”
"If you like it, do it, I don't want my sister's talent to be buried, then I will become a sinner," Jiang Li pinched the other party's soft little face, "After all, I've been delaying you for so long." ”
"In that case, I'm willing!" Ripple's eyes were firm, as bright as the stars, "Ripple don't let my brother down, Ripple will use this musical talent to catch up with my brother!"
