Chapter 63: The Appreciation Banquet
The spring dance in front of Baiyun Hall is unwinded, and the east wind rolls evenly.
The bees and butterflies are in chaos, how many have they passed away with the water? How can it be compromised?
Thousands of threads will never change, let him gather and divide as he goes.
Shaohua Xiu laughed and had no roots: The good wind relied on its strength to send me to the clouds.
Before she made any moves, she had already seen through my attempt: "Honestly, didn't you see people driving?" ”
I sat firmly in the passenger seat and was about to speak, but Sister Chen suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road.
"What's wrong, the car is broken?" I asked curiously.
"I think it's still early, there is a beauty shop on the side of the road, take you in and clean up your hair."
"No, I just got a haircut before I came back from vacation." When I saw the splendid beauty salon, I actually felt a little shy, "I'm good like this." ”
My mother kept urging me to get up early and clean up as soon as I got up, and I was quite satisfied with my image today.
"Oh, you don't have to spend money, just go." It is rare for Sister Chen to beg for the same soft words as a little girl, her heart is soft, and her head is hot, so she is dragged into the beauty shop.
"Come, miss, trim and style his hair." As soon as Sister Chen entered the door, she commanded loudly.
I didn't go into the barbershop less, but I have always been simply fooled, and as for any other fame, I have never tried. I have never set foot in a high-end beauty place like this, and I feel a little dizzy when I see the piles of bottles and cans inside.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, the service lady greeted her politely, and she had already been pressed to the chair by Sister Chen and sat down.
I felt so "helpless", as if I was waiting to be stabbed. Sitting on the soft chair, I feel even more unaccustomed, just like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden, and remembered a reflex of her surname.
Sister Chen seemed to have thought that I would be like this for a long time, and the hands on my shoulders didn't let go: "It's not going to the slaughterhouse, why are you so nervous?" ”
I glanced at her and smiled bitterly, why was my idea guessed so accurately by her, could it be that she also had an ability. In fact, I am a person who has seen the world, and it is really difficult for me to face it on ordinary occasions, and even the luxury hotels and restaurants can face it calmly, and I have never felt this way.
I don't know why, it's so awkward to get in here.
"Chenchen, you don't have to be so grand, right?" I looked at her almost pleadingly, and in a hurry, I didn't even call my sister.
Without waiting for her to answer, the hairdresser would not give me a chance to regret it, and I could not let the boiled duck fly again. A big white single "whoosh" surrounded me, so that I didn't know where to put my hands.
"Okay, Xiaocheng, be obedient." Seeing that I was at a loss, a smile appeared on her face, and she thought I was funny, so she didn't care about the change of title.
"It's not going on a blind date--" I muttered in a low voice, knowing that it would be useless to resist any longer. Because they had already squirted a liquid with a faint fragrance on my head.
Sister Chen still had a smile on her face and slapped me on the shoulder: "You want to be beautiful." "The look on his face is very cute.
Seeing our intimacy, the service lady naturally regarded us as a couple and smiled: "You two are really interesting." ”
Seeing that I had settled down, Sister Chen sat down next to her and beckoned to the other side: "Come, please come and help me clean up my hair." ”
This is strange, but it is just a long hair with a shawl, and for the convenience of driving, it is simply tied in the back. She must have put in some work on herself, because I had already smelled the faint scent of her hair in the car just now, so what was there to clean up?
I didn't care what my head was made of, so I turned my eyes curiously and watched the service lady come over, busy with things on Sister Chen's smooth and smooth head.
Hey, this is probably the difference between rich people and ordinary people, who know how to enjoy. Seeing Sister Chen accept the service with her eyes closed, she smiled self-deprecatingly. Even if I had a few cents, I would only be an upstart at best, the kind with gold bars around my necklace and chains around my wrists.
Sister Chen whispered to the waiter, but I felt that there was nothing to say, and the people behind me kept asking me: "Sir, do you think this is okay?" Wouldn't that be good? ”
I could only say yes casually, saying "yes" and "yes" in my mouth, but I didn't put my mind on it at all. Isn't it just a head, no matter how neat it is, it won't become a square.
I used to get a haircut, I never worked more than a quarter of an hour, but today I don't know what's wrong, and I don't see my hair getting less, but people are busy on the top of my head. I felt like I was on pins and needles, and my heart was awkward.
Look at Sister Chen, who is calm and calm, forcing herself to be calm, you have to learn to enjoy life!
This calm and calm, almost fell asleep, but fortunately, the service lady said in time: "Sir, are you still satisfied?" ”
I hurriedly replied, "Satisfied, satisfied, it's wonderful." Quickly stood up and sat aside, Sister Chen's side was not finished yet.
Finally, when she also stood up, she went over to settle the bill. I helped her carry her bag: "Let's go." ”
"Okay, don't worry." Sister Chen was still looking forward to the mirror, "Come on, come here." ”
Looking at the portrait in the mirror, it seems quite satisfied, so it is much better.
I just have the time to look at myself, it's really not blowing, obviously there is no big change, people do seem to be much more energetic, I can't help but straighten my collar and pull my tie. Look at Sister Chen again, there are indeed some differences from the original.
Sister Chen looked at her watch, "Oh, it's almost early, okay, don't stink, you have to leave quickly." "After that, regardless of the smug I'm in, pull me up and walk out.
Hey, it's become my stinky beauty, she's in a hurry now, what did she do just now.
******
The car drove up in a hurry, and finally stopped in front of the [Tatfook Building], which is the headquarters of the Tatfook Group, a very famous place in our city. I do, though I've never been in.
"How did you get here?" I asked in my heart, even if you want to take me to see Uncle Qi, everyone is familiar with it, so you don't need to be so nervous.
She herself is still wearing her usual jeans, thin coat, and somen noodles in clear soup, why do you want me to be so regular.
Looking diagonally opposite, hey, when the building was newly renovated, I remember what kind of shopping mall it used to be. Now it looks quite lively, with colorful flags planted outside and drums playing noisily.
Looking carefully, the signboard of the mall was gone, and it was replaced with a few bronzing characters "Dafu Guest House", and asked Sister Chen, "When did this get up, why don't I know." ”
"It's been a long time since you've been back, so there's a lot you don't know." Sister Chen replied softly.
She pulled her and walked towards the building: "Dafu is holding a thank-you banquet today, and you will accompany you to give birth in a while." ”
"So what are we doing here?"
"Don't ask, you'll find out soon." Walking into the hall of Dafu, this place is really magnificent.
The receptionist in the lobby saw that the eldest lady was coming, and was busy coming up to greet her. Sister Chen beckoned to her: "Little Sun, come over and greet Xiao Cheng." ”
Miss Sun did not slack off, and immediately came over and led me to sit down on the sofa to the side, and poured me a cup of tea.
"Xiao Cheng, you wait for me for a while, and I'll come down immediately." After Sister Chen finished speaking, she walked towards the elevator.
This young lady is worthy of being a receptionist, her mouth is in a hurry, and her speech is also funny, chatting with her, I really don't feel lonely.
casually asked about the situation of today's thank-you banquet for a long time, and I didn't think it took long, and Sister Chen came down from upstairs.
The appearance of the beautiful woman made my eyes light up, and she dared to come prepared, and she went to change her clothes just now. The casual coat and jeans have been taken off and replaced with a black dress. It's no wonder that she wants to come here to change her clothes, if she wears this all the way, I'm afraid that people will also freeze.
Black and white, lining the skin is better than snow, and the neck is extraordinarily slender. The well-fitting clothing shows the slender figure. The noble and elegant Sister Chen walked towards me like this.
My eyes were stunned, my mouth opened exaggeratedly, and my eyes followed her.
By the time she came to me, Miss Sun had already walked away in a playful way. Sister Chen stretched out her slender hand and gently pushed my still wide open mouth. He said angrily: "Don't embarrass me, you are not allowed to look at the lady like this at the banquet later." ”
Hearing what she said, she laughed: "Sister Chen, apart from you, how can there be anyone else who is worthy of my view, don't worry, I will only see you alone at that time." ”
"Poor mouth! We're almost gone, it's almost time. Sister Chen nudged me.
We just walked towards the guest house. Outside, Sister Chen regained her appearance as an "ice beauty". It was only when I crossed the street holding her hand that I smiled a little. She is really good at changing her face, and I am afraid that only I know the tenderness, and when I think of this, my heart blossoms.
Of course, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, "Bad boy, what are you laughing at?" Sister Chen looked at me and asked softly.
Without waiting for an answer, he had already walked to the door of the hall. Sister Chen affectionately took my arm and walked inside.
The reception staff standing in front of the door greeted politely, and Sister Chen nodded slightly and asked, "Where is my dad?" ”
"Oh, the boss has already arrived, and I just asked why the young lady didn't come?"
Sister Chen took me by the arm and walked straight inside. From afar, he had already seen Qi Yongnian standing in the middle of a group of people laughing, and it could be seen from the costumes alone that the people who came were not ordinary people.
I just inquired about Miss Sun over there, Dafu held a banquet, invited important customers of the group and leaders of various departments in the city, it is almost the New Year, thank you for your support and help.
"Dad." Sister Chen pulled me to the front of the crowd and screamed softly.
Uncle Qi, who was smiling all over his face, turned his head and saw his little daughter, and his smile became even stronger. "Xiao Chen is here."
He turned his face to me again: "Yicheng is here too." ”
I hurriedly called, "Uncle Qi." ”
"Hmm." Looking at me, with a smile in his eyes, he took my hand and pointed to the few people who were talking to him just now, "The people invited today are all big shots, come, let me introduce you." ”
"Everyone, this is Xiao Chen's friend Yu Yicheng." Everyone's eyes turned to me. Everyone has long known that Boss Qi's beautiful daughter has always been above the top, and the idle man can't put it in his eyes at all, this handsome young man came out of thin air from somewhere, and his eyes are full of surprise.
Uncle Qi introduced a few people to me, this is a so-and-so boss, that is a so-and-so director, all of whom have names and surnames in the city.
I have also seen some battles, and on such occasions, I naturally do not show timidity, smile and follow his introduction, and call me politely.
Uncle Qi's move is undoubtedly to tell the people around him that this is the boyfriend of his favorite daughter.
I also suddenly understood why Sister Chen cared so much about my dress, it turned out that their father and daughter had already had the intention to push me to the front of the stage, so that others could have a clear answer to her various suspicions.
Sister Chen stood behind me obediently at this time, and the people she knew said a word, and those who didn't know just nodded casually, and the cooperation was really good.
As for her, most of the others know her, but I am different, except for their father and daughter, not many people present know about it. When the introduction passed, they were all whispering in the back, who is this Yu Yicheng?
Despite this, everyone still said words of praise, what kind of male talent and female appearance and other common sayings.
Sister Chen, who said this, was dizzy and her head lowered. Looking at her charm and touching, my heart also rippled.
Sister Chen's move is undoubtedly an admission that I am the person she loves the most. Looking back at the beauty next to me, she took my arm a little shyly and quietly dodged the gaze around her.
I could feel that the strength of her holding my hand was gradually increasing, and I straightened my chest more unconsciously. I think about the old saying that I don't know how many times I have thought about it: it is the hardest to accept the grace of beauty.
At this time, I only heard Uncle Qi's somewhat exaggerated voice, which attracted everyone's attention, and it turned out that Mayor Huang had arrived. Merchants and officials followed.
No matter what time it is, it turns out that only high-ranking officials are really and always the object of their pursuit. However, his arrival finally liberated Sister Chen. She pinched me on the arm: "Now you're proud." ”
I couldn't help but didn't dare to scream, and at this time, Mayor Huang had already strode over, accompanied by Boss Qi with a light on his face, and there was a crowd of people hugging each other.
Maybe it's because I haven't been in the WTO for a long time, and I really can't get used to this kind of style, and I haven't gone up with the flow of people. However, Mayor Huang still found out, and he is familiar with me, a good leader, of course, has almost the ability to remember people.
He had dinner with me once, and when he saw Sister Chen holding my arm "affectionately", the surprise in his eyes flashed, and he immediately greeted me affectionately, and made a painless joke to show the approachability of the leader.
When the rest of the people saw that I seemed to be quite familiar with the mayor, they were probably a little surprised, and they whispered, as if they were guessing what I was.
Later, I heard various versions of the rumors, and the most mysterious one was: Boss Qi's youngest daughter's boyfriend is the son of a leader in the provincial capital.
After Uncle Qi guided Mayor Huang to take his seat, Sister Chen and I stood behind him to greet the endless stream of guests. The arrival of the mayor seemed to make him more interested, and more important guests, especially business colleagues, came in, and the least one sentence was, "Mayor Huang is sitting over there." ”
I sympathize with him in my heart, and it's not easy to be a successful businessman. However, in the greetings of these people, I also learned a lot of things, that is, sophistication.
Watching foreign movies, I always feel that most of the characters in them have a common characteristic, whether they are businessmen or political axe officials, no matter what they say, they like to go straight, but we are absolutely different here, it seems to go around and around, talking for a long time, still cloudy, mountains and fog, and there are 108,000 miles away from the theme.
The most painful thing is that these are still necessary. Thinking that if I want to take this path in the future, I can't get rid of this kind of hardship, and I really don't feel good in my heart, and I look forward to when I can change.
******
At this time, a person I will never forget walked in, and he was Liu Ayu.
This suit and leather shoes were mixed with the guests with great satisfaction. Before anyone could get to the scene, I whispered to Sister Chen, "Why is he here too?" ”
Sister Chen was naturally not interested in him, and said disdainfully: "He is now the deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau." ”
This kid has been promoted really fast, and it seems that the energy of this old secretary is still not to be underestimated. As I was thinking in secret, he had already walked in front of me. Uncle Qi greeted him enthusiastically, and while his eyes fell on Sister Chen, of course he also noticed me standing on the side.
His eyes flickered, but he quickly changed his smile back, and pretended to be enthusiastic and made his hand early: "Hello, little brother." ”
At this time, this voice is naturally full of hypocrisy, but now he has no ability to peek into people's hearts, and he can't figure out his true thoughts.
As I get older and have been constantly exercising, I will no longer be irritated as easily as before, and my mind will be much calmer.
What he learned just now immediately came in handy, and a smile appeared on his face, and he held his hand affectionately: "Brother Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm getting more and more handsome." ”
I secretly warned myself in my heart: It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Suddenly it turns out that it is easy for people to become fake.
When the person led him to the front seat, from the way he looked at Sister Chen, I still found some unwillingness.
Originally, I thought that this was a rare opportunity for me to get acquainted with this quasi-upper class society and learn how to enter the WTO. But Liu Ayu's appearance completely destroyed my good mood, just like a dead fly found in a good pot of soup.
The mood was depressed all at once. My changes have not escaped Sister Chen, who has been paying attention to me: "Xiao Cheng, don't pay attention to him, this kind of scum is always annoying, it's good when he doesn't exist." ”
Nodding yes, is there a good opportunity to accompany the lovely Sister Chen, why bother to sweep Yaxing for this kind of villain, one day, I will make him look good.
He must have thought the same way, he wanted to kill me before, and now he will not be unmoved by his jealousy and hatred.
If only he could see through his dirty heart, it would be easier to deal with. I remembered my own powers, and to be honest, I was a person who was at ease with what came my way, and I had gradually become accustomed to it. When facing the real enemy, I suddenly felt that these special methods were particularly useful.
The guests gradually arrived, and the hall became more and more lively. It was nearly noon, and after everyone was seated one after another, the food and drinks began to be served.
The people who came were all dignitaries, and the rich people would naturally pay more attention to it, and the banquet was also beautiful, and it seemed that they had made a lot of money.
Uncle Qi did not sit with us, but accompanied the big man in the middle. Sister Chen and I were at a table next to me, and as soon as the food came up, I began to pay attention, and I didn't eat much in the morning, so I was indeed a little hungry.
But I didn't have the opportunity to feast, but from time to time I would raise a glass with the people around me, toast each other, and listen to something that even the speaker himself blushed.
When I came, Sister Chen seemed to be a little more relaxed, and when the wine was full, Uncle Qi came over and called me to accompany me to the tables to toast, and once again introduced my identity as a "little girlfriend" to everyone. If you run into a junior, you have to ask me to drink for him. He's pretty good at maintenance, but he's miserable.
Knowing that his alcohol consumption was very average, after some time, he still poured a lot of it, and he also heard all kinds of strange persuasions, and he gained a lot of knowledge. After this exercise, my "wine" will definitely grow, and this society is really a big dye vat.
When I turned around and returned to the original table, my face was like a red cloth. It's strange to say, I'm still in a very good state today, I'm afraid I have drunk more wine than I have drunk in the past few months, and I wonder if I can still stand.
understands that my hard work is all for her, and Sister Chen is also very generous today. Thoughtfully helped me to sit down, and gave me food in front of people, but by this time I couldn't eat anything.
Look at Uncle Qi and Mayor Huang next to me, they should have drunk more than me, but they are still talking and laughing, as if nothing happened. I can't help but admire a lot, a few fighters who really deserve to be "alcohol test", amazing!
The rest of the time, I just relied on a trace of thought to support, and kept talking and laughing, but I didn't understand what I was talking about or doing, and I just wanted it to end quickly.
In the hall, the world is full of all kinds of things, at this time, I am really like a year, if it weren't for Sister Chen from time to time beside me to greet me warmly, I am afraid that I would have to lie on the table and pass.
I finally persevered to the end, and when the beautiful lady in the red cheongsam began to hand out souvenirs, I knew that I was about to get out of the way. Wine and rice come second, I'm afraid that's the main thing.
A big red envelope, I didn't expect it to have mine, with a squeeze of my hand, it was a thin card, which should be a shopping card that has become popular again in recent years.
I also had to insist on accompanying the father and daughter and the company's staff to see off all the guests, and constantly greeted each other. A few people who drank an average amount of alcohol and spoke very sticky, they just didn't want to leave. Looking at their appearance, I realized that drunk people are indeed quite annoying.
After a toss, I actually got a little less drunk, sobered up a lot, and felt that I was still very drunk, as long as I was in time, my achievements should surpass my father.
Finally calmed down and looked at Uncle Qi, if he was not convinced, he still spoke clearly, and he didn't look like he had drunk too much.
Sister Chen complained softly: "Dad, why do you drink so much, you don't pay attention to your body at all." Listening to the meaning of this, I realized that he was almost an old man.
Uncle Qi laughed: "Yicheng, look at the joke, society is like this." Thank you too much. I hated myself for not having a son. ”
"Dad-" Sister Chen raised an objection.
"Let's go and sit in my office for a while." He suggested to me.
"Okay." I'm glad I'm still awake, and I happened to have a question to ask him for advice.
