Chapter 534: Welcome Dinner (Part II)
Jiang Ping scoffed at his friend's question and said: "A man can't say no, you think you can't do it, it's because you don't have the ability!"
Of course, Nicholas couldn't agree with Jiang Ping's statement, and was just about to open a rebuttal, but he didn't think that Lan Keer had already smiled and said: "No matter how many women Jiang Ping has, in my heart he will always be the best!"
Lan Ke'er's words made Jiang Ping have a lot of face, and he squeezed his eyes at Nicholas and said, "Did you see it?"
These words came from Lan Keer's mouth, and Nicholas really had nothing to say, so he could only give Jiang Ping a thumbs up and say: "Admire, admire!"
Satisfied with Lan Ke'er's gesture of giving her a long face, Jiang Ping smiled and gave her an encouraging look, which was also exchanged for the charming smile of the female snitch.
If Jiang Ping was eye-catching before, only because of his appearance as a golden boy and jade girl with Lan Ke'er, then now most people still pay attention to him, and there are completely different reasons.
Jiang Ping and Nicholas talked and laughed so casually that anyone could see that the two of them had a very good relationship, and they had reached the point where they could joke casually. This also made many people more interested in Jiang Ping, and they asked what the origin of this handsome young man was.
However, the things that surprised everyone were still to come, after Nicholas, even Zhou Dexiang, the chairman of Haoxing Company and a famous businessman in the provincial capital, also took the initiative to step forward and greeted Jiang Ping with a smile. Although the relationship between the two does not seem to be as intimate as Jiang Ping and Nicholas before, it at least shows that they knew each other before.
You must know that the Piero family and the Haoxing company are the protagonists of today's welcome dinner. Jiang Ping actually had a good relationship with both sides at the same time, which undoubtedly aroused everyone's interest.
After greeting Zhou Dexiang. Jiang Ping took Lan Keer to take the initiative to greet Li Xinyu. After all, Li Xinyu has the status of mayor. It was the highest-ranking official present. Of course, you have to be reserved, except for Nicholas and Zhou Dexiang, it is unlikely that you will take the initiative to greet others.
However, Jiang Ping is also one of the important figures in this dinner, whether to take the initiative to greet him or not also makes Li Xinyu a little headache. And Jiang Ping took the initiative to step forward, which also saved Li Xinyu from embarrassment, which made him feel a little more good about this young man.
In front of so many people, Li Xinyu naturally didn't want to talk to Jiang Ping. He just smiled and said something about the scene. Then Jiang Ping took his leave.
But even so, many people can see that Li Xinyu's attitude towards Jiang Ping is very kind, and the two seem to have known each other before!
In this way, Jiang Ping's identity is even more mysterious. Many people have a great interest in him, and they have asked the people around them who this young man is.
Listening to others inquiring about Jiang Ping one after another, Zhou Jun's face became more and more ugly. He never thought that Jiang Ping, who was originally just a small owner of an antique shop, still had such connections, and had such a good relationship with Nicolas Piero.
And Zhou Jun also heard about it. This afternoon, even the old man went to Jiang Ping's store to meet this kid in person. All of this shows that Jiang Ping is definitely not an ordinary character. remembered that he had boasted to Jiang Ping before. To send him to prison and then occupy his woman, Zhou Jun felt that he had been slapped a few times, and his cheeks were hot and painful.
However, although he felt that his self-esteem had been greatly hurt, these women around Jiang Ping who had different styles but were all very beautiful still made Zhou Jun, who was already a hungry ghost, very interested. He stared at Lan Ke'er without blinking, looking at her moving figure greedily, and involuntarily secretly said in his heart: "Jiang Ping is really a good blessing, he actually got such a beautiful half-breed child, this looks and this figure...... Tsk, such an outstanding woman can only be Zhou Jun's!"
As a thief, Lan Keer's feelings are much sharper than ordinary people. And Zhou Jun's undisguised eyes quickly made Lan Keer vigilant. With a charming smile on her face, she quietly glanced in the direction of Zhou Jun, and immediately found the other party's greedy eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Although Jiang Ping was still greeting a few guests he knew, he immediately noticed the change in Lan Ke'er, and immediately whispered to her, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ping cared so much about himself, which made Lan Ke'er feel a sense of happiness of being cared for, and couldn't help but say in a somewhat coquettish tone: "There is a person over there, who always looks at me with straight eyes, it's really annoying!"
"Hehe, it's because you're beautiful!" Jiang Ping wasted no time in complimenting Lan Ke'er, and then followed her line of sight.
On such occasions, people generally behave more civilly. Even if there are a lot of hungry ghosts, they won't show it too much. So Jiang Ping also wanted to see who was so exaggerated and actually made Lan Keer unhappy.
This look naturally saw Zhou Jun immediately, and Jiang Ping couldn't help but show a sneer. It seems that this guy is really hard to change, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself on such occasions. This also made Jiang Ping decide that Zhou Jun must not be allowed to be so dashing, and he must be taught a hard lesson.
At the same time, Zhou Jun was also staring at Jiang Ping, who was talking to Lan Keer in a whisper, the intimate demeanor of the two made him full of jealousy, and he thought viciously in his heart: "Even if you know Nicholas, isn't it the same as death?!" After this matter is over, Lao Tzu must find a way to make this kid completely disappear from this world, and then his women will be mine!"
The more Zhou Jun thought about it, the more he felt hot all over his body, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank all the red wine inside. But for him, a glass of red wine obviously can't extinguish the fire in his heart. So Zhou Jun began to pour glass after glass of red wine into his mouth, and before the official banquet began, he drank a bottle of red wine, causing others at the same table to look sideways at him.
At the same time that Zhou Jun was borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, Jiang Ping had already begun to deal with this guy. After greeting people he knew, Jiang Ping, under the leadership of the master, came to the main table and sat down.
In addition to Li Xinyu, Nicholas and Zhou Dexiang at this table, there were several big names who attended the dinner. Even Zhou Dexiang's grandson, Zhou Jun, is not qualified to sit here. And Jiang Ping actually sat at a table with these people, which made Zhou Jun hate and jealous of him.
With Jiang Ping's status in the Piero family, of course he sat next to Nicholas, and quickly found an opportunity to whisper: "You promised me that you will solve Zhou Jun's trouble, the sooner the better!"
Nicholas raised his glass to Zhou Dexiang with a smile, and asked in a casual whisper: "Why are you so anxious all of a sudden, how did he provoke you?"
"No, no, it's not that you provoked me, it provoked Lan Keer. Jiang Ping's expression remained unchanged and said, "And...... I felt a lot of malice and a lot of threat from him, and I didn't like that. ”
Hearing Jiang Ping say this, Nicholas also became serious. He had seen Jiang Ping's skills and knew that he could easily see through the fate of others. Therefore, since Jiang Ping said that he felt threatened by Zhou Jun, this matter should not be taken lightly, but should be solved immediately.
After all, for the Piero family and Nicolas himself, Jiang Ping is a rare talent and best friend. Whether it is public or private, Nicholas cannot let him have any accidents.
Thinking of this, Nicholas nodded lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to solve this kid right away." Kick Zhou Jun out of the inner circle of Haoxing Company and the Zhou family first, so that he doesn't have enough resources to threaten you, and then slowly clean him up!"
Speaking of which, Nicholas is also mixed in a big family, and he is also very skilled in playing this hand. Jiang Ping didn't have any opinion on this, just nodded slightly and said, "Anyway, this matter is solved by you, I don't care how to get it." ”
"Okay, you're on me. Nicholas said with a smile: "Count me unlucky, take the initiative to take this matter on my head, alas!"
But complaining is complaining, and Nicholas is not ambiguous about this matter. In the middle of the banquet, he took the initiative to invite Zhou Dexiang to smoke a cigar in the lounge next door.
None of the people present are stupid, of course they understand that this is the heir of the Piero family, and they are going to have private contact with Zhou Dexiang. Of course, Zhou Dexiang was a hundred willing, and immediately accepted the invitation and went to the lounge next door with Nicholas.
Li Xinyu watched the two leave side by side, and his heart was also full of expectations. I hope that Nicholas and Zhou Dexiang can reach a cooperation intention as soon as possible, so that he can be regarded as letting go of a big matter.
Among the people present, only Jiang Ping knew in his heart why Nicholas invited Zhou Dexiang to smoke a cigar at this time. However, he couldn't tell anyone else about this, so he just smiled mysteriously and glanced at Zhou Jun without a trace.
Zhou Jun was still drinking sullenly, his face was already flushed, but he still had no intention of stopping. Seeing him like this, Jiang Ping's heart suddenly moved, urging snobbery to check this guy's future fortune.
To Jiang Ping's surprise, in Zhou Jun's seal hall, there was actually a black dead air. Moreover, this mass of death qi has completely occupied his entire Yin Hall, indicating that death will soon come to him.
This also made Jiang Ping immediately think that when he showed Zhou Dexiang in the afternoon, he saw that he would lose a relative recently. Now that it has been confirmed, Jiang Ping naturally knows who the person who is going to die is.
Of course, Jiang Ping would not remind Zhou Dexiang. To him, Zhou Jun is a trouble, and it would be better to solve it completely, and a fool would try to change the fate of this guy!
At this time, Zhou Dexiang returned to the banquet hall with a solemn expression, and quickly walked to the rostrum and said loudly: "Please be quiet, I have something important to announce!" (to be continued......)
