The man's hair was three or seven points, groomed and shiny, with small eyes with single eyelids, which he took off and put on the table.
The corners of his mouth were smiling, and he squinted his eyes slightly to look at Liao Wanyu, "I really didn't expect that the person in charge of 'Chang'e' would be so young." ”
"Mr. Hong is the one who makes me look up to my name for a long time."
Hong Weiyuan is the deputy manager of a comprehensive department store in Shanghai, and Liao Wanyu has been in Shanghai for several days, asking him back and forth many times before asking people out.
"But I heard that Miss Liao's means are very powerful, and she easily defeated the veteran foreign firm Songmao, and Wande didn't dare to act rashly."
Liao Wanyu's hands under the table were clenched, she didn't know how Hong Weiyuan knew these things. Or, did he shirk not seeing her before, but he was actually busy sending her to the bottom?
"Mr. Hong's promotion, that's not my ability, it's the general public, who are willing to support our own domestic products."
Hong Weiyuan looked at her with a smile and didn't speak.
Liao Wanyu took out an information bag from the bag she was carrying, and he immediately stopped it, "Hey, Miss Liao, it's not too late to talk about work after eight o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Liao Wanyu's hand holding the paper document bag froze in the air, and then took it back, "Yes, yes, it's a leisure time to drink coffee, don't spoil the nature." She spoke generously and always looked at Hong Weiyuan with a smile.
Hong Weiyuan raised his hand and glanced at the Swiss watch on his wrist, sighed, shook his head and smacked his lips, "It's a pity that time is running out." There are still very important things to do in my future, and I really can't put it off. ”
When Liao Wanyu heard what he said, she was a little anxious in her heart, if he left today, wouldn't it be equivalent to not seeing him, and the things he wanted to talk about hadn't even begun.
"However, I have some time later today, but I don't know if Miss Liao is convenient."
Of course, Liao Wanyu was convenient, so she nodded again and again, "It's convenient, I don't have anything else to do in Shanghai, everything is convenient." ”
Hong Weiyuan nodded slowly, picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip, "Then it's eight o'clock tonight, Black Cat Club." When you arrive, tell me my name. ”
After he said this, he stood up, and Liao Wanyu also stood up.
"Okay, okay, we'll see you that night."
Hong Weiyuan slowly fastened the two buttons of his blazer, put on a black tweed coat under the service of the waiter, and then took the top hat and saluted to Liao Wanyu gentlemanly, "Miss Liao, then we'll see you at night!" ”
Liao Wanyu watched him go out, and only after watching his car drive away did he breathe a sigh of relief.
What she wants is not just a little market in Luzhou, she has contacted Boss Yin in Tianjin a few days ago, and she promised that she would help build a line, she thought that she would come to Shanghai anyway to turnover, and there was no reason to let go of such a big market.
At first, she was rejected by Hong Weiyuan a few times, and she was already a little discouraged, thinking that if she couldn't see her, there was someone in Tianjin, and there should be a better chance of success.
But this morning, she received a message from the front desk at the hotel, saying that she had made an appointment at this café.
She sorted out the information again last night and made sure that everything was safe before she came with her things, but the deputy manager Hong looked very busy, and they all sat for a quarter of an hour, all of which were used for greetings.
Liao Wanyu knew that she wanted to meet people to talk about things, so this time she came out and brought a few sets of very good clothes, this afternoon she returned to the hotel, and inquired about the Black Cat Club with the front desk, and the little girl who was on duty at the front desk looked at her strangely, and told her that it was a place to drink and dance.
Ballroom is not particularly popular in Luzhou, but there are a lot of them in Shanghai, Liao Wanyu didn't think about it, and after returning to the room, she picked out a beige dress with a big round neck, and a white tweed coat with a white fox fur collar on the outside, compared it in the mirror, felt that it was not bad, and took off her clothes again.
She would be a little sleepy, and for fear of falling asleep, she decided to take a shower and clear her mind.
The winter sky was getting dark very quickly, and when Liao Wanyu came out of the bathroom, she found that it was already dark outside, and she glanced at the table clock in the hall, the time was just past five o'clock, and she was in a hurry.
She attached great importance to the evening meeting, and did not want to make people feel rude, so she carefully painted her makeup in the bathroom as if it were afternoon, and when she was all cleaned up, she looked at the time again, and it was already ten o'clock.
After changing her clothes and taking her bag, Liao Wanyu hurriedly went downstairs, and the doorman helped call a rickshaw, and she rushed to the Black Cat Club.
The coachman was a strong man in his early thirties, and he didn't even breathe much while pulling the car and running, "Girl, listen to your accent, you're not a local, are you?" ”
Liao Wanyu nodded, and later thought that he couldn't see, so she said "yes".
The coachman took the moment to glance back at her, "The current situation is not good, it seems that it is very difficult everywhere." ”
Liao Wanyu didn't understand why he suddenly got involved in the current situation, but what he said was not wrong, "Yes, it's not peaceful inside, and foreigners are still rampant." ”
The coachman sighed, "It's not easy. ”
Liao Wanyu didn't know that she was mistaken by the coachman for Miss Dance, and when she got out of the car at the door of the club to pay, a doorman had already opened the door early to greet her.
There should also be hot water in the club, Liao Wanyu felt the warmth on her face as soon as she entered the door, she unbuttoned her coat, and after taking it off, she originally wanted to hold it in her hand, but she was immediately picked up by a man in a white shirt and black vest.
"Good evening, Miss."
The waitress bowed with his back straight, apparently trained, and the smile on his lips was just right to not be presumptuous or overly flattering.
"Hello." Liao Wanyu nodded at him slightly, "Excuse me, Hong Weiyuan, has Mr. Hong arrived?" ”
He handed the clothes in his hand to the person behind him, and stretched out his right hand, "Please follow me." ”
Liao Wanyu followed behind him, looking around without a trace as she walked, this club looked like there were three floors, the first floor was a large dance floor, and there were some small round tables arranged regularly around the dance floor, and men and women sat in three or two places, drinking and chatting with smiles.
She was taken up to the second floor, where there was a small orchestra pit in the southernmost part, and the rest were covered with soft red velvet curtains, so she couldn't see the inside, but guessed it was a separate small box.
When the curtain was opened, Liao Wanyu was stunned for a moment, because there was a door behind the curtain, and she saw the waiter push it open, and felt that this door was quite heavy.
"Miss, please, Mr. Hong is inside."
Liao Wanyu had inquired before and came here to give a tip, so she took out a dollar from her bag, "Thank you." ”
The waiter naturally took it, nodded slightly at her, and waited until she entered the door, and then closed the heavy bronze and wooden door.
In front of her was a short corridor that was not too wide, and the curtain still hung on the other side of the corridor, only this time it had turned pale gold. Liao Wanyu observed, walked over slowly, and picked up.
As soon as Hong Wei Yuanfu saw Liao Wanyu, he immediately clapped his hands, "Everyone, everyone! My distinguished guest has arrived, from Luzhou, Miss Liao! ”
She had already heard the voices of many men and women talking inside, and when she looked at it, there were actually eight or nine people.
She immediately reacted that Hong Weiyuan probably didn't mean to talk about business tonight.
"Did I disturb Mr. Hong and his friends, I ......"
She wanted to say goodbye, but Hong Weiyuan had already interrupted her, "My friend, isn't it Miss Liao's friend!" Everyone is a good business partner, Miss Liao must not say the word 'bother'! ”
He was originally sitting in the center of the sofa, and as soon as he stretched his legs, he stepped out of the coffee table, grabbed Liao Wanyu's shoulders, and pushed her towards that side.
"This is HSBC's Wang agent, if there is any financial problem, it is easy to find!" He pushed Liao Wanyu and introduced as he walked, "I've heard of Hongfei Match, this, Mr. Liu, is the founder, that is, the chairman of our Match Industry Association." ”
are all characters she has only heard of but has not seen, Liao Wanyu can only greet people politely and dedecenciously for a while, and she can't say half a sentence if she wants to say goodbye.
Hong Weiyuan introduced all the men in the room, and the ladies used a general "friend" to perfunctory the past, Liao Wanyu would sit on the sofa, and was stared at by the four ladies at the card table in turn, embarrassed for a while.
"I heard that Miss Liao is from Luzhou?"
"Yes." Liao Wanyu heard Hong Weiyuan call him the Seventh Young Master just now, this person looked at his age, and he didn't know what his background was, Hong Weiyuan was quite polite to him.
He smiled at Liao Wanyu, and raised his right hand on his knee slightly, "Don't be restrained." ”
Liao Wanyu didn't want to be thought that she hadn't seen the market, so she kept her composure, she took a sip of the drink in the cup to cover up the tension at this time, "Over there, it's not so cold at this time, and the leaves don't fall." ”
The Seventh Young Master seemed to be very interested in her words, "I've only been to Fuzhou, I don't know if it's far from yours?" ”
She brushed the broken hair that fell in front of her with her left hand, "It will take three or four hours for the car and boat." ”
He nodded, "I remember that the fruit over there was very good. ”
Liao Wanyu took another sip of the drink, and felt that the sweet taste of this thing was very good, "When I went to Tianjin, I realized that there were no mangoes in many places. ”
The glass bottle on the table was picked up by the Seventh Young Master, and he poured more than half a cup into the empty cup that Liao Wanyu drank, "Shanghai is better than Tianjin, but it is not as good as yours after all." ”
Liao Wanyu thanked her, she had calmed down a lot, she turned her head to look at the game, and saw that there had been a change of person over there.
"Does Miss Liao know how to play cards?"
Liao Wanyu shook her head, in fact, she didn't really know, but her card skills were very poor, so she always said this to the outside world, which also saved her own embarrassment.
He stood up and reached out to pull Liao Wanyu's forearm, "Come on, come on, I have very good card skills, I can teach Miss Liao." ”
Liao Wanyu was pulled by her to stand up, and suddenly felt dizzy, she closed her eyes twice, and her vision was still a little blurry.
"What's wrong with Miss Liao? Under the weather? ”
Liao Wanyu waved her hand, "I...... Maybe it's too hot in this room, just go out and take a breath. ”
She wanted to push the man away, but her hand was soft, and she pushed it with great strength, but when she got to him, it seemed to touch him gently.
Liao Wanyu staggered a few steps, glanced back at the glass she had just used on the table, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
She felt like she had stepped on the sand of the seashore under her feet, and the voice behind her began to be blurred and out of tune, she bit her lip, and regardless of the pull of the people behind her, she forced herself to walk towards the door.
Liao could hear distant laughter, but she couldn't tell who was making it, or if everyone in the room was laughing.
She leaned her whole body against the door and pushed it twice, but it was so heavy that she felt it when the waiter opened it.
The person who was called the "Seventh Young Master" by Hong Weiyuan didn't seem to be in a hurry, his gait was as usual, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was the same as when Fang Cai was chatting.
"Do you know why this door is so heavy?"
Liao Wanyu couldn't hear what he was saying, she could only see his mouth open and close, she closed her eyes and tried her best, and then she pushed the door open.
Although the door was open, she was completely out of balance, and the thick carpet was covered in the hallway of the club, and she fell to the ground without making a sound.
She didn't have any thoughts in her heart at this time, because her brain couldn't turn anymore, and after she fell to the ground, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed someone's trouser legs.
