Chapter 46: You're in Trouble! 】
The charity gala was held on the sixth floor of the hotel, one of the most luxurious ballrooms in the hotel. From the elevator to the door, there were a lot of security guards tonight. Walking into the banquet hall, a hostess led us to table No. 6 in front, while Zhou Jing and Cangyu were welcomed to a table in the first row.
I guess it's something that has to do with the identity here.
Coming to this kind of public occasion, Fang Nan couldn't see anything unusual on her face anymore, she completely returned to normal, just like in the company, with a calm expression and a calm posture.
I've undoubtedly seen a lot of big names tonight, and I've seen a few guys who often appear on the financial and business headlines of newspapers, as well as some people on the covers of professional magazines.
It seems that this charity gala is of a very high level, not only the rich people in the city, but also some well-known people from all over South China have been invited, and I also saw two big-name celebrities who are quite well-connected in the entertainment industry.
Fang Nan's popularity seems to be quite good, at least one-third of the people have greeted her, and some will sit down and say a few words. It's just that I noticed that when everyone saw me sitting next to Fang Nan, they couldn't help but show a trace of surprise in their eyes.
I sat still and rarely spoke, only occasionally when Fang Nan introduced me to someone who was her assistant, I would stand up and shake hands with the other person—in fact, I rarely even had a chance to shake hands. More often than not, those guys with status just nodded at me, with a hint of reserved arrogance.
Of course, I will not be as dissatisfied as an angry young man - after working hard in this society for several years, I have already clearly realized that this world is divided into levels!
The evening has not even begun, and the well-dressed men and women in the ballroom are still looking for their own circle to chat and talk - it is undoubtedly the perfect place to socialize.
I saw from a distance that Zhou Jing and Cangyu on the first row of tables had a few whispered words, and then Cangyu immediately nodded and left. It seems to be doing something Zhou Jing ordered.
Immediately, Zhou Jing stood up and slowly walked to our table.
There are four people at each table here, and it's a funny rule that people like the real big people with special status can enjoy their own tables. Could it be that the richer and more statusful people are, the more they need to stay away from the crowd?!
The sixth table where Fang Nan and I were sitting was supposed to have two other guests, but they probably hadn't come yet. Zhou Jing walked over, sat beside Fang Nan very casually, and then took a glass of champagne from the tray of a waiter who walked by him very casually, took a sip lightly, and looked at Fang Nan with an elegant and peaceful gaze.
Even though I don't like this guy very much, I have to admit that he is very personable. This man seems to be highly educated, and there is a sense of calmness in his words and deeds, and there is a faint hint of noble elegance.
He is the one who takes over Brother Huan's position, and I instinctively put him in a hostile position, but compared with Brother Huan, his eyes are not as deep and sharp as Brother Huan, but they are a little more deep and hidden. He doesn't have the reckless and heroic atmosphere of Brother Huan, but he has a little more elegant demeanor.
"Miss Fang." He smiled and said, "I seem to have forgotten something very important just now. ”
"Oh? What the? Fang Nan smiled in return. Her smile is charming, but I can see that her charming smile is a completely pretended professional smile. Her real smile is not like this.
"I forgot to praise you for your beauty." It was obviously a frivolous sentence, which came out of Zhou Jing's mouth, coupled with his warm eyes like jade, but it seemed so sincere! I immediately realized that this man was probably still a master of hooking women! "Forgive me for my presumptuousness, because I have to say that you are the most attractive woman I have ever met." Zhou Jing took a sip of the wine glass.
Fang Nan smiled faintly: "Thank you...... But I think your compliments should be reserved for your girlfriend tonight, shouldn't I? ”
"Huh." Zhou Jing was not flustered at all: "Miss Cangyu is my assistant at work, to be honest, I just came to this city, and I received an invitation to this occasion tonight, and I was still in a dilemma about where to find a female companion...... Fortunately, Miss Kuratama helped me relieve this embarrassment. ”
That's a clever way to say that! Very discreet ingenuity!
On the one hand, this sentence points out that he is currently single, and on the other hand, it skillfully explains that Cangyu has nothing to do with him, just a female companion who attends this occasion.
Fang Nan's expression remained unchanged, and he suddenly turned his head and asked me, "Chen Yang, what time is it?" ”
"Half past eight." I looked at my watch and replied in a steady tone.
"Well, it looks like the party is about to start." A soft smile appeared on Fang Nan's face: "Mr. Zhou, don't you need to return to your seat?" ”
Zhou Jing didn't care at all about Fang Nan's intention in his words as if he wanted to end this conversation, but smiled lightly: "Okay, I've already asked Cang Yu to help me change my position, and my seat has been changed here tonight." After a pause, he smiled again: "Miss Fang, it is my honor to sit next to a beautiful woman like you!" ”
Fang Nan was a little surprised, and I was also a little surprised.
On this occasion, being able to sit in the first row is already a status symbol in itself!! He took the initiative to turn to the back...... This guy seems to be very interested in Fang Nan!
This Zhou Jing is obviously very good at talking to people, he is polite when he speaks, and his eyes always have a bit of sincerity...... Whether he pretended it or not, at least the gesture seemed sincere. He spoke at a slow pace, and his voice was a very gentle and pleasant baritone. What's more, he is very good at finding topics, and the two talked for more than ten minutes, but there was no cold scene! Zhou Jing fully demonstrated his wit and humor, and Fang Nan smiled from time to time, as if the branches of flowers were trembling. In the face of such a charming beauty, Zhou Jing didn't show any squint in his eyes, at most with a little appreciation.
Awesome guys!
Cangyu had already returned, probably finishing the matter of changing the seat, but she didn't sit next to Zhou Jing, but sat next to me.
"Kurayu." Zhou Jing suddenly spoke: "It seems that you seem to know Miss Fang's assistant, Mr. Chen Yang?" ”
Cang Yu's face remained silent, and he smiled faintly: "Well, yes, I once met Mr. Chen in Fang Nan's company. ”
My heart moved.
Kuratama concealed the truth about my acquaintance with her!
"Mr. Chen Yang, I really envy you to be able to work next to a beautiful woman like Miss Fang." Zhou Jing smiled, his eyes blazing, looking at me.
I just said lightly: "Miss Fang is a good boss. ”
Zhou Jing's eyes calmed a little, and he casually summoned a waiter over and took a glass of champagne for Fang Nan. Fang Nan hesitated, I immediately understood what she meant, called the waiter, and whispered.
After a while, the waiter brought a glass of warm water, I took it and handed it to Fang Nan, and said in a low voice, "Does your head still hurt?" ”
This move is undoubtedly very thoughtful.
When a woman comes to "that", she has to be careful to keep warm, and usually on the first and second day, it hurts! At this time, you should never drink cold water or cold things. Drink some warm water to help relieve discomfort.
This kind of thing is something that a man without a little experience can't understand.
Fang Nan took the cup, and a trace of shyness flashed in his eyes when he looked at me, but with a little gratitude, a trace of blush appeared on his face - the gentleness in his eyes made me trance for a second.
At this moment, I heard Cang Yu sitting next to me let out a low sigh, and then she glanced at me and Fang Nan quickly, with a hint of hidden strangeness in her eyes.
Zhou Jing's face darkened slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at me imperceptibly.
Then the party started and we ended the conversation.
The party was nothing more than a few words of thanks from the head of a charity, and then the dance began, with the side doors of the banquet hall on either side opening and the well-dressed waiters pushing out a long dining cart with all kinds of jīng food.
Originally, it was an occasion similar to a buffet. In the middle of the ballroom, a dance hall is vacated, and a group of musicians sit on the sidelines, playing soft dance music.
A hint of jīng flashed in Zhou Jing's eyes, and he slowly stood up, and he stretched out his hand elegantly in front of Fang Nan: "Is it okay?" ”
Fang Nan smiled mildly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I want to rest for a while first......"
Zhou Jing didn't see anything wrong on his face, shrugged his shoulders, then smiled, walked to Cangyu's side, and stretched out his hand: "Cangyu, you won't reject me too, right?" ”
Cangyu smiled calmly, stood up, and the two walked into the dance floor holding hands.
"That Zhou Jing seems to be interesting to you." I couldn't help but say something.
"yes, I know." Fang Nan nodded lightly, and then she glanced at me: "What's wrong?" Questions? ”
I'm speechless.
Fang Nan sighed: "I've experienced too many things like this. ”
There was too much helplessness in her tone. I cautiously said, "That's because you're so beautiful." ”
Fang Nan shook her head, her eyes revealing a hint of weakness: "Beautiful...... I'm not young anymore, Chen Yang. I'm in my thirties, and a woman's green chūn is very short-lived, and no matter how much money I am willing to spend and use more means, my beauty will not last long. If men are only interested in my beauty, then this is not what I want, what I want is a plain and long life. You...... Do you see what I mean? ”
She gave me a very subtle look. My heart was pounding.
Was she hinting at me something?
Seeing that I didn't speak, a trace of loss flashed in Fang Nan's eyes, but she immediately returned to normal: "By the way, why did Cang Yu hide that she had known you for a long time...... Is it because of this Mr. Zhou? ”
I sighed.
Of course, the reason why Kuratama did this is very clear to me.
This Zhou Jing must be Brother Huan's opponent in the organization, and now that he has taken Brother Huan's place, Brother Huan lost his position and left here, and he was protecting me, so he would cut off contact with me. Kuratama obviously did this to protect me!
It's just these things, how can I explain them to Fang Nan?
Seeing that I didn't speak, a trace of disappointment flashed in Fang Nan's eyes, and he said lightly: "Okay, you don't need to tell me about your Cangyu." ”
Well? There seems to be some sour taste......
This woman, she ...... It can't be jealous, right?
At the end of the song, I saw Cangyu and Zhou Jing dancing in the distance, the two had separated, Zhou Jing walked to the side and talked to the other two men, and Cangyu walked from the side door to the direction of the bathroom.
Two minutes later, I received a message on my phone.
"Come out, I'll wait for you at the door of the bathroom-Kurayu."
I immediately stood up, said hello to Fang Nan, and walked out of the corridor.
At the corner of the bathroom, I saw Cangyu, her face was a little heavy, and when she saw me coming, she couldn't help but grab me and quickly walked into the women's toilet!
I was startled, but luckily there was no one inside, so we opened a small door and the two of us slipped inside.
In the small space, the two of us were forced to be very close to each other, but Cangyu's face was not good-looking, there was a hint of reproach in her eyes, and she said, "Chen Yang, do you know what you are doing!" ”
"What?"
Cangyu's tone was even more displeased: "Don't pretend to be stupid!" I'm talking about Fang Nan! You two...... Is there something wrong? ”
I was speechless, and was about to deny it, but Cangyu suddenly sighed, stared into my eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Yang, you are in trouble, do you know it?" You're in big trouble for yourself!! ”
I was about to speak when the bathroom door opened. Both of us were shocked!
Then I saw through the crack in the door that it was a man and a woman who had come in!
I know both this man and woman! It's Minister Kim and his female star!
The two were already entangled together, and seemed to be in high spirits, pulling each other's clothes, and then quickly flashed behind a small partition door, and with the sound of the door being struck, there was already the sound of the two of them gasping for breath and entangled......
I was stunned, and the calmness on Cangyu's face finally disappeared, and her face suddenly turned red......
