Chapter 313: Shield

The upcoming New Year's Concert is undoubtedly the most high-profile cultural and artistic event of the year.

Almost all of Hong Kong's most powerful people come, and security is a problem that should not be underestimated. The police have not only tightened security measures at the art center, but also set up checkpoints on the surrounding roads and questioned every car heading there.

At half past two in the afternoon, three tourist luxury buses slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Culture and Art Center under the command of uniformed police officers.

Like all the dignitaries who came to the concert, the guests of NB Electric Group and NB Lab were all dressed in formal attire, the men were either dressed in crisp suits or proper tuxedos, and the ladies were dressed in various styles of gowns, showing elegance, dignified and elegant.

A delicate red dress revealed Xia Yao's tall and well-proportioned figure, and the thin grease powder on her face made her look beautiful and refined. It was not the first time for Zhang Lin to participate in such an occasion, and she was also very decent in a white dress, the sun reflected on her face, raising a bright smile, and she was full of charm in an instant.

"President Tengda, don't always stare at the ground, the reporter is taking pictures, give a smile."

For the cultural event held on the first day of the Lunar New Year, reporters from television, radio stations, and major newspapers and tabloids naturally did not miss this opportunity to join in the fun, and crowded behind the police cordon with long guns and short cannons, making it look like walking on the red carpet.

Tengxi, who had just gotten off the plane two hours ago, had never worn a coat without buttons or tulle gloves. I have never worn necklaces, bracelets and earrings worth hundreds of thousands as I do today. Suddenly there were more things on the neck, ears, and wrists. It feels particularly twisty. At the same time, it was a little apprehensive. For fear that she would accidentally lose the jewelry that Xia Yao and Zhang Lin lent her.

She pouted and muttered, "I'm not a star, what's there to shoot." ”

Xia Yao took her arm and quipped: "Don't you want to find a handsome, young, and capable boyfriend, some of them are the fifth diamond king, if you don't show your charm, they can kneel under your stone skirt?" ”

Teng Xi was happy, covered his mouth and chuckled: "That's a joke, although this girl can't compare with you and Miss Zhang Er, but she can be regarded as the president of a large company with money, status, and status." It's not ugly, don't you need to deliberately look for it? ”

Zhang Lin snorted and said: "That's right, your conditions are so good, only people chase you, you don't need to chase you." ”

As soon as she got off the plane, she was dragged by the two of them to choose dresses, jewelry, and makeup, and she didn't even have time to eat lunch, and when she looked back, she saw that the charter was not among the men, and she couldn't help asking: "Xia Yao, where is your husband." Why didn't you see him? ”

Xia Yao explained casually: "I played games with the two little ones at home, and I had a lot of fun. How willing to join in the fun. ”

"He doesn't like to listen to symphonies?"

Zhang Lin said: "It's not that I don't like to listen to symphonies, but I don't like to socialize." ”

"Then you two came to accompany me?"

Xia Yao scratched her under the shawl and said with a smile: "President Tengda, you are the largest agent of our group in China at this stage, and it is not suitable for him to accompany you as a man, so we can only come forward." ”

The Thomas Boys' Choir, the Leipzig Opera House and the Leipzig Gwantihaus Orchestra – two of Leipzig's "three treasures" – are here to be, and it is only natural that NB Electric Group and NB Labs will take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In addition, it is the off-season for tourism, and hotels and air tickets can be discounted.

Under the unified arrangement of the headquarters, NB Power Generation and Transmission and Distribution Group, NB Electronics Group and NB Medical Group issued invitations to agents with annual sales of more than 10 million yuan in the Asia-Pacific region. All the expenses are borne by NB Electric, please come over and have a good time for a few days, and then have a big agent meeting by the way.

As the "general agent" of NB Medical in China, she was listed at the first place on the NB Medical invitation list, so Xia Yao said this.

The meeting was held on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I really don't know what they thought, Tengxi was not very active in this activity, and when she saw that she actually tickled herself, she couldn't help but say: "Bride, do you think it's inappropriate for him to accompany me?" It is said that sisters are like siblings, men are like clothes, at most wear them, I won't really rob your husband, I didn't expect you to be so stingy. ”

What a female rascal, she can say anything. Xia Yao was completely convinced, shook her arm and said, "If you want to wear it yourself, no one will stop you, anyway, I have confidence in my husband." ”

Tengxi was even more energetic, and whispered in her ear: "Haven't you heard of men chasing women across heavy mountains, and women chasing men across the veil?" Your husband is so rich, so young, so handsome, he is simply the prince charming in the minds of all girls, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be too late for you to regret it. ”

The husband is indeed very good, Xia Yao showed a knowing smile.

"Still laughing!"

Tengxi handed the handbag to the security guard at the security check, leaned into her ear and continued: "Don't always be heartless like before, no matter who you bring home, you can't really lure a wolf into the house." Really, if it weren't for the good sisters, I wouldn't have reminded you. ”

No doubt she was referring to the fact that she had invited her back to the beach house last year.

Such a girl who shows off her flowers and branches will bring it home indiscriminately, and now that I think about it, it's a bit of that. Xia Yao knew that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart, and what she said was also very reasonable, so she couldn't help laughing: "A good sister is a good sister, listen to you, keep an eye on it in the future, and never bring a beautiful woman home again." ”

Tengxi liked this scheming bride in his heart, and couldn't help but joke: "If you know your mistakes, you can change them, and your children can be taught." But good sisters are good sisters, there is a saying that must be said in front, if you really lose your husband, then don't blame me for being unkind. Fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, instead of cheapening those vixens outside, it's better to cheapen your own sisters, isn't it? ”

Of course, Xia Yao knew that she was joking, and pretended to be indignant and said, "How can you be like this? Since they are good sisters, and something like that really happened, then they should help me get it back. Instead of taking advantage of the fire. Waiting to pick up the bargain. ”

There are just over 20 minutes left before the official performance. The doors of the concert hall were still closed, and the guests who had come to listen were standing in the lobby, either studying the concert posters with great interest or gathering in groups to talk.

Listening to a concert pretending to be elegant, how can it be interesting to ridicule the bride?

Tengxi pulled her aside, pointed to the diamond ring on her and said, "If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed." I've become sisterly, if not a good sister. I don't know who wears this ring. ”

Xia Yao raised the ticket in his hand, greeted Lin Huixian, who was waving to him opposite, and said with a triumphant smile: "President Tengda, what do you think of my husband?" He is very firm, and he never wavers in holding high the banner of this girl, not to mention the layer of yarn, even if there is no layer of yarn, it is useless. ”

There's no scheming, but he's pretty good-mouthed.

Tengxi turned around, leaned in front of her to pull the dress, and said with a wicked smile: "I can't bear the child to be a wolf." If Miss Ben really has that heart, what will she do with the yarn? If you don't pay attention, you will drill into his bed. Regardless of whether the raw rice is cooked or not, he has to admit it. ”

"You're a scoundrel."

"Who will reason with you in this kind of thing? What's wrong with playing scoundrels, just achieve your goal. ”

Xia Yao laughed and trembled, covered his mouth and asked, "Aren't you afraid that you will accompany your wife and break the army, be taken advantage of, and others will not admit it?" ”

"I forgot what Miss Ben did, he dared!"

I have to admit that her trick can really work wonders for ordinary people, but unfortunately the charter is not an ordinary person. Xia Yao laughed even more fiercely, and said breathlessly: "President Tengda, I believe no one dares in China, but it is another matter abroad, no matter how powerful your old man is, can he still catch up with Germany and the United States?" ”

None of these two people are serious. Seeing that many celebrities looked this way, Zhang Lin hurriedly coughed twice: "Two, this is a public place, pay attention to your image." ”

Tengxi was very smug, how could he pay attention to any image, an extremely vulgar and ugly grimace immediately appeared on his beautiful face, and Xia Yao couldn't help but laugh again.

At this time, Lin Huixian, who had just finished greeting the NB electrician agent, squeezed over from the cracks, pointed to the door that was still closed, and said: "Three, we have ears blessed today, I heard just now, the master will personally command, in order to achieve the best effect, until now I am still rehearsing in it." ”

Xia Yao couldn't help asking, "Sister Lin, which master?" ”

Lin Huixian pointed to the poster on the wall and introduced with reverence: "The famous Polish conductor, professor at the Leipzig Conservatory, winner of the East German Art Prize and the State Prize, chairman of the Leipzig Art Fund, Knight of the Legion of Honor, director of the German National Fund, winner of the German Federal Cross...... Kut Marshall!

His Beethoven style of interpretation, although derived from the so-called Saxon tradition of Nikisch, Abbendrot and Convitchini, was not a man of the rules, and Beethoven, staged in Dresden and Leipzig decades earlier, was hailed as a revolution that took the dramatic elements of Beethoven's symphonies to the extreme, and is recognized as a globally recognized conductor. ”

Tengxi said coldly: "I haven't heard of it." ”

What a music idiot, Lin Huixian really wanted to snatch the tickets in her hand and then kick her out.

While she was wondering whether to popularize some common sense of fine art for her, someone behind her suddenly said: "Master Kurt-Marshall is full of music, and his gestures are not beautiful, but they are extremely vivid." Conducting on stage is like a generator, pumping the most power out of the orchestra.

His Beethoven, no matter the warmth of his timbre or the appeal of his music, is so intimate and shocking. I have a dozen of his Beethoven records in my collection, and every time I listen to them, I have a feeling of sincerity and simplicity that goes straight to my heart.

As an 'honorary' or 'lifelong' conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic, Leipzig Gwandhaus Orchestra, London Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Israel Philharmonic and Orchestre National de France, he is like a respected evangelist who tells others what the real Beethoven is! ”

"Gu Gongzi, I didn't expect you to like Beethoven so well, it seems that you have come to the right place today." In front of him, who attended the wedding of his younger brother and Xia Yao, Zhang Lin recognized it at a glance.

The Gu family has always taken good care of NB Electric, and is still the third largest shareholder of MN Bank, Xia Yao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted: "Gu Gongzi is good." ”

"Mrs. Zhang, Miss Zhang, this is all thanks to Mr. Zhang."

Gu Jiaheng bent down politely, and then flaunted his elegant artistic accomplishment. "The maestro takes music very seriously. It is said that once when playing for the head of state. Because they were not quiet enough, they went up and came down again. Later, because there were too many people coughing, we raised our hands several times and put them down several times when we commanded 'Bei Liu', so we must be quiet after we enter the venue. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, we'll take notice."

Gu Jiaheng smiled, and then asked with a puzzled expression: "Mrs. Zhang, Miss Zhang, where is Mr. Zhang." What's the matter with you? ”

Without waiting for the two to speak, Tengxi walked up to him, looked up and down at the person behind him, and said mockingly: "I thought that I was the only one among so many people who pretended to be elegant, but I didn't expect that there was also Mr. Zhang's companion, where would I not meet in life." ”

There are outsiders here, and they can't be commensurate with sisters, Xia Yao couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Teng, do you know Gu Gongzi's friends?" ”

"Acquaintance, and familiarity. Mr. Zhang, did you say that? ”

I'm really afraid of something. Looking at her smiling but not smiling, Zhang Guangming was angry, but this is not the place to be mad, and she is not the object of his madness, so he settled down and said-for-tat: "It's very familiar, our two families are world friends, in terms of seniority, Mr. Teng has to call me uncle." ”

"Since we know each other, then you don't need me to introduce you, Mrs. Zhang, Miss Zhang, Brother Guangming, you talk, I'll go and see if my father has arrived." It's not that the enemies don't get together, as soon as he heard the big beauty in front of him surnamed Teng, Gu Jiaheng realized that there was a big trouble, and immediately found a way to slip away.

The smell of gunpowder was full, Zhang Lin also realized that the comer was not good, and was about to find an excuse to take Xia Yao and Tengxi away, Tengxi actually strangely stretched out his right hand, very sunny, very bright, very innocent and smiled: "Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope, Uncle Zhang, for the New Year, you can't let my junior call in vain, right?" ”

Zhang Guangming shook his head and smiled: "I'm really sorry, I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't know that you would come, so I didn't prepare at all." But don't worry, Uncle Zhang won't let you scream in vain, and I'll make it up for you when I find the red paper when I turn around. ”

Tengxi was very stupid and naΓ―ve: "Uncle Zhang, you can't lie to me!" ”

Pretending to be stupid with me, Zhang Guangming scolded secretly, and replied with a pun: "Uncle Zhang has never deceived anyone, never cheated anyone, and never been sorry for others." ”

Even if Xia Yao didn't have any scheming, he could guess that there was a conflict between the two of them or between the two of them, and pretended to be casual and said, "Mr. Teng, what kind of red envelopes do you need when you are such an adult?" The concert is about to start, Mr. Gu is right, after entering, you must maintain due respect for the master, you can't talk casually, you can't walk around casually, I want to go to the bathroom, will you go? ”

Don't leave at this time, let alone when, Zhang Lin reacted, pulled Lin Huixian's arm and said, "We'll go too." ”

What made them feel helpless was that Tengxi actually turned around and said, "Mrs. Zhang, Miss Zhang, Director Lin, go ahead, I want to have a good chat with Uncle Zhang." ”

You are all people with backgrounds, Xia Yao didn't want to be affected by the pond fish, so he made a look at Magdalena, and slipped away with his second sister Zhang Lin and Lin Huixian.

Looking at the backs of their departures, Tengxi said bluntly: "Mr. Zhang, NB Electric is a company that does things according to the rules, since it has signed an exclusive agency contract with our Xingda, it is impossible to unilaterally tear up the agreement to find a second agent, if you Changhui want to make NB medical equipment, then you can only talk to us Xingda, in addition, it is useless to find anyone!" ”

Zhang Guangming snorted coldly and said coldly: "If you are married or divorced, why can't you break the contract after signing the contract, it's a big deal to pay some money for breaking the contract, just treat it as an uncle's red envelope for your niece." ”

Tengxi shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Zhang, you are a good word, NB Electric is also a good word, I really can't think of the possibility of breaking the contract." ”

Only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise, Zhang Guangming was too lazy to waste words with her, looked at the door of the concert hall that had just opened, and said expressionlessly: "The world is impermanent, the future will only be known in the future, the concert has started, there is a chance to talk again, I will send the red envelope to your house, and I wish General Teng a long and healthy life forever." ”

The old man's health is deteriorating, and he probably won't last more than a year.

What he meant couldn't be clearer, without Old Man Teng, the Teng family would be nothing. However, although this business was brought forward by the Teng family, the real backer was not the Teng family. With the support of Elder D, Tengxi was fearless, and immediately sneered: "Mr. Zhang, I also wish Grandpa Zhang to make further progress and always be prosperous." ”

In addition to being addicted to your mouth, what else can you say?

Now that you have already gotten into a mess with the Zhang family. That means that there is no longer a need to negotiate with the "International Chapter". All that is needed and can be done now is wait. Wait for the old man Teng to breathe, and then give NB Electric some color and see. Let them take the initiative to offer the exclusive domestic agency of NB Medical.

Zhang Guangming paid attention, threw down the sentence "see you later" and walked out of the lobby of the art center without looking back, and even threw the priceless concert tickets into the trash can by the door when he went out.

Xia Yao, who had been paying attention to the situation outside the bathroom, walked over quickly and asked worriedly, "Tengxi, are you okay?" ”

Tengxi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't play fool with me."

"It's really okay, it's the New Year, don't think about it."

"Then you tell me. What is that guy surnamed Zhang looking for you? ”

Thinking of his possible revenge, Tengxi didn't squeak, and was not in the mood to go in to the concert, so he took out a cigarette from his handbag and lit one somewhere where no one was. Xia Yao snatched it, stepped on it on the ground and threw it into the trash can, "What does a girl look like when she smokes, do you want to get married?" ”

"It's a little annoying," Tengxi sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He wants to rob me of my business." I drove you away, and your husband didn't come. Otherwise, there is more nonsense.

It turned out that she was helping her husband as a shield, Xia Yao was startled, took her hand and asked, "Then who is he?" ”

Tengxi looked at her sincere eyes, and her expression was like that of a strong woman, "It's a bit of a beginning, but it can't make any waves." In short, as long as I am here, you can live your little life with peace of mind. ”

Xia Yao frowned at the faint eyebrows, bit her red lower lip, and asked softly without saying anything: "Tengxi, why are you so good to us, could it be that you are really ...... True...... I really like my ......."

"Where do you want to go?"

Tengxi was ridiculed, patted her hand and said: "Entrusted by others, loyal to people, and help yourself earn some dowry." You are a good dish for your husband, but he is your dish, and it is not to Miss Ben's appetite. ”

Entrusted by whom, loyal to whom, Xia Yao was very curious, but she knew very well that she couldn't ask what she shouldn't ask, and she wouldn't necessarily say it if she asked, so she simply pretended to be relaxed and quipped: "What's wrong with my husband, I don't like it, I don't think I can eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, right?" ”

"Your husband is good at everything, but he has no masculinity, to be exact, he has no military flavor, he is not like a soldier at all, and he is not a person from the same road."

"It's normal."

Xia Yao looked at the concert poster on the wall and read: "A moving story of a group of German teenagers aged 9-18 who have learned and grown up in Bach's music with a continuous 800-year-old educational tradition, a total of nine years of residential school life throughout the year, spring to winter...... Like the Thomas Boys Choir playing in there, those kids grew up in a musical environment, so many of them could become musicians in the future.

My husband is different from you, although his grandfather and his father are both soldiers, but they have hardly spent much time in the army, and the time they have lived with his father has not even been a year, how can there be a soldier's flavor that you say? In addition, this is a disadvantage for you, but it is an advantage for me, because don't worry about my good sister snatching my husband with me. ”

Tengxi showed a knowing smile, and while holding her arm, he walked towards the concert hall, and asked suspiciously, "Those boys really grew up in the church?" ”

"What kind of church, people go to church schools, just like you go to military schools."

"Then why don't you get married in the church, in front of the construction site, it's not romantic at all."

"We are not religious, so why should we go to church? As for whether the waves are romantic or not, that's a personal feeling, so many scientists help us do it, anyway, I feel quite romantic. ”

Teng Xijiao smiled: "Such a shabby wedding still feels romantic, it's really not a family, don't enter a family, no wonder he is in love with you, and you are dead set on him." ”

"When you find your very own Prince Charming, your mind will change."

"I'm different from you, the nature of the country is easy to change, what is now and what will be the future will still be, it will never change, and if it changes, it will also change." (To be continued......)
