Chapter 343: Seeing Hope
"Dad!" Liu Xiaojing spun like a butterfly, "How do you think I am today?"
"Hey!" Liu Rongcheng responded happily, "Okay, except for the bride today, my daughter is the most beautiful!"
Liu Xiaojing smiled happily and said, "Dad, then do you think I can be today's bridesmaid?"
As early as a few days ago, people got the news that the organizers will choose a lady to be the bridesmaid on the spot for this grand engagement.
At first, people thought it was fake news. How can there be a bridesmaid on the spot? What is the character? Does the eight characters fit together? Will there be an accident? The more upper-class people are, the more they care about these details.
What's more, this is just an engagement banquet, not an official wedding, and there is generally no need for bridesmaids.
But later, the news spread until the organizers issued an announcement confirming that it was true.
So, the ladies of these wealthy families all moved their minds.
Choosing bridesmaids on site is the same as a live beauty pageant. At this gathering of wealthy families, what a beautiful thing it would be to be selected!
Not only the chosen person herself, but also her beauty and temperament conquered the audience, but also the family behind her was recognized by the organizers.
All families with unmarried beautiful daughters have almost all carefully prepared, especially those second- and third-rate wealthy families who are not top door valves, which is an excellent opportunity for them to show their faces.
Remember the URL
Liu Xiaojing specially ordered this diamond dress for this opportunity. The dress was designed by a famous European fashion designer and is set with nine hundred and ninety-nine diamonds.
Because it was a temporary order, the time was very urgent, and in order to be able to wear this dress to attend, Liu Xiaojing was late. That's why when her skirt was touched by Li Muchen on the lake embankment, she was so angry.
Of course, this dress is very expensive, so expensive that it is unimaginable for ordinary people. But it's nothing to the Liu family.
Rongcheng Group is one of the largest private enterprises in Nanjiang. Liu Xiaojing is the daughter of Rongcheng Group.
In terms of personal assets alone, Liu Rongcheng, chairman of Rongcheng Group, has one of the best net worth in Qiantang and is known as the richest man in Nanjiang.
But it's a pity that Liu Rongcheng has no family background.
More than 30 years ago, Liu Rongcheng was just a small carpenter, but he was very business-minded, carpenter started, slowly started the wood furniture business, with the take-off of China's economy in recent decades, from building materials to clothing, from chemicals to energy, almost all the traditional industries, and every line is very big.
Some people say that he is lucky, but in fact, luck is also a manifestation of ability, not so much that he is a pig flying on the tuyere, it is better to say that he has a vision and seizes every opportunity.
But no matter how successful he is and how rich he is, compared with those real wealthy families, he lacks a little background.
Money can be channeled, but when there is a certain amount of money, its role is not as great as imagined.
And no matter how rich Liu Rongcheng is, he is only one person, and the rich people in the wealthy family grab a handful. Among the giants, the comparison is no longer who ranks higher on the rich list, but who has the most influence. It can affect the local economy, urban planning, and even national policies, which is the heritage of the wealthy.
In the eyes of a real wealthy family, Liu Rongcheng is a nouveau riche. So in high society, there is a not-so-elegant nickname of him - the No. 1 nouveau riche in Nanjiang.
Liu Rongcheng doesn't care about money, but he cares about prestige and influence. That's why he also values today's gathering.
If his daughter can stand out here, it will also be of great help to him and the prestige of Rongcheng Group.
If Liu Xiaojing is more fortunate to be favored by the children of other wealthy families, such as the Qian family, the Gao family, the Yuan family and even the Beijing family, and marries these families, then the Liu family will get rid of the title of nouveau riche.
This is Liu Rongcheng's wishful thinking.
"Yes, why not?"
Liu Rongcheng looked at his bejeweled daughter and nodded with satisfaction.
In terms of clothing alone, among the girls here today, there is no one more eye-catching than his daughter.
He looked around the people present with a little pride, and then walked up to Yuan Shoushan, stretched out his hand, and said with a little respect:
"Old Yuan, who is here today, you have the highest seniority and the highest prestige, and your words are authoritative! You come to comment, my daughter Jingjing, is she qualified to be today's bridesmaid?"
Liu Rongcheng's words made many people roll their eyes, especially those who also had the opportunity to compete for bridesmaid candidates.
"Cut, I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"A nouveau riche is a nouveau riche, and I think it looks good with a diamond, it's so vulgar!"
There were whispers below, but Liu Rongcheng pretended not to hear, he only cared about Yuan Shoushan's attitude. As long as Yuan Shoushan opened his mouth, even if he only said a word about the scene, he would definitely give his daughter extra points.
Yuan Shoushan doesn't like Liu Rongcheng, in his eyes, Liu Rongcheng is a dirt bun. But Liu Rongcheng is rich, very rich!
In this extraordinary period, people like Liu Rongcheng are also the objects that the Yuan family needs to woo.
Yuan Shoushan's ambition is not only to destroy the Lin family, but also to teach the Shen family who are close to the Lin family a lesson, he wants to go to the next level and let the Yuan family stand higher, not to mention surpassing the Qian and Gao families, at least on an equal footing with the Gao family.
"Hahaha......" Yuan Shoushan laughed, "Mr. Liu, I don't count this matter, the organizer has the final say." ”
Liu Rongcheng also laughed: "Jingjing, come over and see Uncle Yuan." ”
Liu Xiaojing came over with a skirt, bowed down in front of Yuan Shoushan and said, "I've seen Uncle Yuan." ”
Yuan Shoushan nodded: "Okay, the daughter of the Liu family is naturally beautiful, and this dress is also good." ”
Liu Rongcheng knew that Yuan Shoushan was an old fox, and praised a few words, but he didn't mean to stand up for Liu Xiaojing at all. But this is all expected by him, and it is enough to boast a few words. He smiled slyly and said:
"Jingjing, you see, Uncle Yuan has supported you, today's bridesmaid is none other than you! Thank you Uncle Yuan. ”
Liu Xiaojing hurriedly said, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan." ”
Yuan Shoushan's face changed slightly, this was definitely not his intention, but he didn't refute it, and said lightly: "We have to believe in the vision of the organizers." ”
In this way, it is as if Yuan Shoushan recognized Liu Xiaojing as today's bridesmaid.
The people next to him were very angry, but there was no way. Liu Rongcheng doesn't want face, they still want face. What's more, a few who are ready to compete for bridesmaids are not as good as the Liu family in terms of financial resources.
People stop talking, but are immersed in the stage performance.
At this time, a famous pianist is playing a soothing piece on the stage.
After the song was played, the host came up and introduced the next star to the stage.
As time passed, the wrists of the stars who took the stage became bigger and bigger.
At first, those traffic stars, in the eyes of these upper-class people, were nothing more than that. The stars who came to the stage later were a bit heavyweight, such as the pianist just now, who enjoyed a high reputation internationally.
This is a testament to the strength of the organizers.
When the last star who came to cheer the performance was finished, the host came to the stage, and after a humorous line, he said with excitement on his face:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you have been looking forward to this moment, our protagonist, who is about to unveil the veil of mystery and meet you. Before that, let's unravel another mystery of today. As you all know, we will choose the most beautiful princess to be the bridesmaid today......"
The moderator paused.
"After the organizer's secret observation and scoring, it was finally determined that today's bridesmaids are-"
