Chapter 31: Here He Comes
Ran Xixi knew that he had arrived here, and it was useless to be hypocritical, so it was better to save time and pick a suitable dress as soon as possible.
What kind of business reception, she didn't ask again, but this kind of occasion is much the same, women are never the protagonists, as long as they dress up beautifully, keep smiling, and make a vase.
In line with the principle that no matter how you wear a little black dress, it didn't take her long to choose a black slanted shoulder dress, the style is very simple, and the size is what she usually wears.
Seeing her so sharp, the staff on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if it was Qiu Yibai, tried to take it off, took it off, how could it reflect her current popularity and status in less than an hour
In contrast, the new female companion brought by Lu Qinghuan is really easy to serve. But the temperament and conversation she exudes around her can't make people associate her with a small family, and she can't be despised either.
Sure enough, when Ran Xixi came out of the fitting room and looked in the mirror, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, it fit and eye-catching.
Lu Qinghuan didn't rush to change into a suit, and waited for her here all the time.
A bright light suddenly flowed out of his eyes, with appreciation, amazement, pleasure, and so on, and a lot of emotions were mixed in it, making this man who was often expressionless on weekdays look a little youthful and youthful.
"That's it, it's really beautiful. ”
Lu Qinghuan said from the bottom of his heart.
Ran Xixi pretended to spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Not only does it look good, but the price is even better, just such a piece of fabric."
She just deliberately teased him, even if it was expensive, he had already put it on, and it was difficult to take it off.
Of course, there is a reason why it is expensive, this dress has a simple style, a neat cut, and there is no need to match any cumbersome and verbose accessories on the upper body, as long as the smooth and white neck and arms are exposed, it will become a landscape of its own.
"Xiangche BMW, beautiful clothes, you deserve it. ”
Lu Qinghuan smiled, and then went to change clothes, Ran Xixi stayed, recoiled his hair, and touched up his makeup. The people in the store were naturally very curious about her identity, especially seeing that she had just talked freely with Lu Qinghuan, and felt that Ran Xixi did not look like a woman who was raised, so they became more and more courteous to her, lest they accidentally offend.
When the two of them walked into the hotel's grand ballroom, it was neither early nor late, just right.
As the invitation was presented at the entrance, two waiters approached with trays, each with a number of intricate masks, one worn by one man and the other by a woman.
"Sir, ma'am, please choose your own mask, tonight's theme is a masquerade."
Lu Qinghuan and Ran Xixi were both a little surprised and glanced at each other.
The latter, of course, was overjoyed, reached out and took a pair of black feather eye patches with broken gold decorations, compared them to his face, and asked him, "Is it good-looking?"
Of course, he nodded, and took one and put it on his face.
Ran Xixi put on her blindfold, and when she saw Lu Qinghuan stretching out her arm towards her, she hesitated for a moment, but still held him.
They arrived at the banquet hall no earlier or later, and there were already some acquaintances there, and sure enough, they were all wearing various masks or blindfolds, and they looked very interesting.
Despite this, some acquaintances were able to recognize each other and greet each other with a smile.
Lu Qinghuan held Ran Xixi, greeted everyone, and greeted.
"Look at the figure, this shouldn't be Miss Qiu?"
A bald man in his fifties looked at Ran Xixi from head to toe with a smile and quickly gave an accurate judgment.
Lu Qinghuan immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Han has good eyesight, Miss Qiu is busy filming in the south, if Mr. Han wants to see her, you can call her directly." As for this young lady, in view of the fact that everyone has a hint of mystery today, I will sell it first, and then introduce it to Mr. Han next time, how "
After speaking, he also pointed to the half mask on his face and smiled at Mr. Han again.
Mr. Han is also a human spirit, where will he continue to ask, laugh with Lu Qinghuan, end the topic with each other, and beckon a few friends around him to come over and chat.
From time to time, she accompanied Poni, and Ran Xixi did not feel restless when Kers attended such occasions, she knew that she just had to keep that polite and ignorant smile all the time.
The luckiest thing is tonight's theme, whether it's an eye patch or a mask, it's just a gimmick.
After coming, Ran Xixi figured out one thing from the conversation of the crowd, that is, a charity auction was about to be held in a while, and the merchant who offered the highest price in the audience could choose any guest in the venue and ask him to take off his mask in public.
Tonight is a business giant, the pride of the sky, almost everyone has a female companion, no one wants to look stingy in front of women, even if they don't come out on top, they have to show their philanthropic heart a little.
"If you don't accompany you, we'll take a seat first. ”
Lu Qinghuan and a few acquaintances nodded slightly, and then helped Ran Xixi's waist and walked to his own seat.
She carefully lifted a long skirt, although the evening dress on her body was eye-catching, but she fell in front of everyone, it was really eye-catching, and Ran Xixi didn't want to be embarrassed.
Holding Lu Qinghuan's arm, she walked with him to the round table with the name tag, and was about to sit down, when there was a slight commotion at the door of the banquet hall.
The commotion did not end quickly, but intensified.
The face of a friend on Lu Qinghuan's left changed slightly, and the man leaned over his upper body slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't he say he wouldn't come, knowing that he didn't come, I asked the organizer to invite you." I knew he was coming, but we didn't come, and we couldn't get used to his high-minded appearance."
Ran Xixi's attention was still on the hem of his skirt, and as soon as he got up, he saw Lu Qinghuan staring at him with a strange expression.
She raised her hand and touched her face, and asked in a low voice, "Is my makeup on?"
He shook his head, then looked at the door with the people around him.
Ran Xixi frowned suspiciously, and also turned around.
Just saw a scene that made her heart stop, a man frowned slightly, and was walking into the banquet hall, he reached out and took a mask from the waiter's hand as he walked, but he didn't put it on his face at all, but just grabbed it in his hand.
Everyone obediently followed the rules set by the organizers, but this man refused to abide by them.
Everyone present seemed surprised why Zhan Xingchuan suddenly appeared here, after all, he had long refused to attend, and no one expected him to come back on his word and come in person.
Nevertheless, the man had come, and no one dared to drive him out.
Soon, someone replaced the name card on the main table in the front row and arranged Zhan Xingchuan at the adjacent table of Lu Qinghuan. These two tables can be regarded as the exclusive seats of the most distinguished guests of the evening. Of course, most of the people in Zhonghai knew that the Zhan clan and the Lu clan were now fighting for a piece of land, and there was a lot of trouble, so of course the organizers would not be unhappy and insisted on arranging them at the same table.
After the little noise is over, the banquet officially begins, and the master of ceremonies has reminded the guests to find their seats as soon as possible, and the highlight of tonight is coming.
Everyone sat down.
Ran Xi sat in his place calmly, unable to breathe.
She already knew from other people's mouths that Zhan Xingchuan's appearance was indeed an accident, and it was definitely not Lu Qinghuan who deliberately tricked her here. But Ran Xixi still had difficulty breathing, hung his head slightly, and felt that his ears were noisy.
At the critical moment, Lu Qinghuan stretched out his hand to her, paused for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I don't know"
She came back to her senses, knowing that the responsibility was not his, and he was equally unaware.
"If I had known that he would be coming, I might have been the one who declined the invitation. I'm just a businessman, thinking about how to make money, but I don't want to conflict with anyone, everyone is in this circle, look up and don't look down, and the superficial harmony still has to be maintained. ”
Lu Qinghuan is telling the truth, even if in private, the battle between Jiahuang and Zhan over that piece of land has reached a white-hot stage, but in front of people, the two men are still human-looking, and no one will show it.
"I see. ”
After listening to him, Ran Xixi still pulled out his hand and sat upright.
Their table, as well as the table next to them, are all characters with heads and faces, most of them are older than Lu Qinghuan and Zhan Xingchuan, but the women around them are one by one, some are with secretaries, some are with lovers, but they don't bring wives, in short, everyone is tacit, they don't pick each other, and they are all called "Mrs. So" for the junior, and the picture is the pleasure of face.
These women often accompany their respective men out to socialize, and they all know each other, and they are both a little wary and a little curious about Ran Xixi, who suddenly appeared tonight.
"It's the first time I've seen Mr. Lu bring a female companion other than Miss Qiu, ah."
At the dinner table, a woman known as Mrs. Li was the first to attack.
The rest of the women, apparently seeing her as the head of the horse, echoed her.
Seeing that the other party mentioned himself, Ran Xixi couldn't pretend to be dumb, and smiled faintly: "Hello, I am the representative of Jiahuang Entertainment's partner, and I happened to negotiate business with Mr. Lu today, so I came with him." ”
Her attitude of not being humble or arrogant has made the women realize that this is not a character to be messed with, coupled with Ran Xixi's identity, several women immediately felt a little stupid, thinking that she was also a newly favored lover, but unexpectedly it was someone sent by the cooperative group.
"Oh, where does the partner represent, it is said that there are a lot of shell companies now, capital injection, come and go, everyone is starting a business, giggles. ”
Mrs. Li had some friendship with Qiu Yibai in private, so her tone was not good, and she inserted a cored cherry into her mouth, and the purple fruit flipped in her purple-colored lips.
Ran Xixi's anger was finally hooked, and she just wanted to report to her home, but unexpectedly, she saw with her spare eyes that someone at that table had already gotten up, holding a glass of champagne in her hand, and walked over here.
