010 The Perfect Farewell Journey (9)
Xiaoxi put aside her distractions and happily had dinner at home, so inevitably, she was late for the drinking party. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When we arrived at the reception, the reception was nearly halfway through.
The reception was held at the consulate of country M, and the hall and back garden on the first floor were full of people.
Country M has strong financial resources, and the consulate of that country holds several large-scale cocktail parties every year. In order to further strengthen business cooperation with China, this cocktail party was held.
This time, the city's celebrities, municipal leaders, heads of large enterprises and institutions, and outstanding representatives of various industries were invited, and their families could also participate.
For the reception, the consulate of country M specially airlifted a plane of red wine from France. Regardless of other things, just looking at the variety and quantity of red wine, it is truly worthy of the name. For those who like to drink, this drinking party is a paradise for them.
Qin Xi wasn't late before, and drank almost from beginning to end. Not only does she like to drink red wine, but she is also very good at tasting it, but that night, she only drinks red wine as plain water. Xiaoxi doesn't drink much, she is not like Qin Xi, she has practiced at the wine table for ten years, Xiaoxi's only opportunity to drink every year is the year-end dinner in the laboratory, and because the tutor is also a woman, everyone is free to drink or not, so Xiaoxi's alcohol consumption is almost none. Fortunately, at Western-style drinking parties, no one advises you to drink, and no one cares what you drink or how much you drink. The brook could neither drink nor taste, but only intended to go in and pretend to be in a cup.
Xiaoxi changed into Qin Xi's dress in the car at her mother's house, and the low-cut neckline showed Qin Xi's proud career line well. The bright red floor-length skirt makes Qin Xi's complexion fairer, and the good cut shows her delicate body curves. Ruby necklaces and earrings shine brightly as she walks. For the sake of aura and propping up the dress, Xiaoxi had to change into the pair of red stiletto heels that Qin Xi matched.
Although Xiaoxi doesn't often wear high heels, how can a girl who loves beauty not have one or two pairs. She was confident before she got out of the car, and she didn't dare to say that she was running in them, but if she walked a few steps slowly, it would definitely be fine!
Who knew that when she took the fifth step, her confidence turned negative. But in front of everyone's eyes, how could she go back to change? Besides, there were no shoes in the car that could match the dress, unless she changed back to the dress she wore during the day. The people who came to the consulate for the reception were all dressed in formal suits and ties for men and long skirts for women.
Xiaoxi endured the pain and walked a few steps, but she really had no choice but to borrow strength everywhere. When I saw the railing, I rested for a while, and when I saw the men and women who came to say hello, they all grabbed their arms and chatted.
Fortunately, there are many people who are courteous to Qin Xi, there is a very gentlemanly gentleman with an unfamiliar face, Qin Xi walked all the way, and in the end she still couldn't name it, so she pretended to be stupid all the way to the end.
The man sent her into the hall, Qin Xi took a glass of red wine, and Mike, the commercial counselor of the organizer, found her.
Mike is a handsome middle-aged uncle, with short blond hair, a somewhat fat body, and a well-fitting suit, looking ten years younger. Mike took Qin Xi from the man's hand, and also bent his arm to Xiaoxi, and after Xiaoxi put his arm on it, he patted her hand and asked, "Honey, why did you come here so late?"
Mike likes Qin Xi very much, this smart and beautiful woman, with an active mind and a lot of economic acumen. Qin Xi's company is engaged in import and export trade, whether he has a project or not, he likes to talk to Qin Xi, and the two have frequent private contacts and a close relationship. This cocktail party, Mike felt that without Qin Xi, it would be much more boring.
Xiaoxi knows Mike, and in the video, Qin Xi is not willing to take the initiative to talk too much, and Mike is one of them.
Xiaoxi said: "I had dinner with my mother today and talked a little more, so I came late." I'm sorry!" Foreigners are more humane, and family is always the best excuse. In fact, Xiaoxi did not lie about this matter.
Mike led the stream to the circle where he had spoken before, "I'll introduce you to some people in a moment." It's a pity that you came a little late, and a few people have already left because of something. "These people Xiaoxi know, are some business representatives of country M, potential business partners.
Xiaoxi said, "I want to say hello to your wife first, okay?" Mike's wife, Linda, is a stay-at-home wife, and she helps the consulate entertain other stay-at-home wives every time. Because of Mike's relationship, Linda and Qin Xi are also old friends who are familiar with each other. Qin Xi's peach heart needs to be sent out by asking Linda for help.
In the upper class, money is the basic condition, everyone lacks nothing, and few people are willing to take gifts for no reason. The gifts given by the organizers have different meanings, and Xiaoxi only needs Linda to ask her to borrow the east wind.
In fact, Qin Xi originally wanted to give the peach heart to Linda, so that she could keep one for herself and give the other away. But Qin Xi didn't mention it much, Linda and the noble ladies sitting next to her liked it, but because there were only two samples, Linda couldn't keep one for herself, how to divide the other?
Linda was unsurprisingly happy to see the creek and couldn't put it down with the creek's little gifts. The number of noble wives at the scene, Xiaoxi probably counted in the video, and the peach hearts brought were only a lot more, so this time, everyone was really happy.
When Xiaoxi came over, Cheng Cheng and Liu Lu also saw it. I don't know what Liu Lu and Cheng Cheng said later, the two of them came to the drinking party together and drank together. When Cheng Cheng saw Xiaoxi, he wanted to get up to look for her, but saw that she was taken away by Mike first.
He took his wine glass, the burgundy liquid, and poured it into his mouth in one gulp. He put the wine glass on the table and turned to go to the creek, Liu Luqiang said to him with a smile: "Brother Cheng, I have liked you for twenty years, and what you said to me did not add up to what you said to me today. Is she that good?"
Cheng Cheng had already turned around and walked a step at this time, and when he heard it, he only paused for a moment, and then continued to walk towards the stream.
Today, he analyzed his past with Lulu one by one, and he really just regarded her as a sister. He told Lulu that it was the same with or without Qin Xi, and it was impossible for either of them. But without Qin Xi's hypothesis, it is obviously not valid, so that result cannot be verified. The current fact is that after Qin Xi, Cheng Cheng's attitude suddenly became clear, which made Liu Lu very sad.
Liu Lu's father had already discovered that something was wrong with his daughter, and Cheng Cheng was originally with him, and he looked okay. After Cheng Cheng left, his daughter drank even more fiercely. He couldn't bear this kind of drinking party in the first place, but his daughter wanted to come, and he owed the organizer a favor, so he had to come. Now, he took the opportunity to say goodbye to the organizer and left the table early with his daughter.
