Chapter 352: Speak Up
The banquet lasted for more than two hours in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and seeing that everyone had eaten and drunk almost, Captain James stood up and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next time is leisure and entertainment. We have prepared a lot of programs, such as movies, operas, dance parties, drinking parties, including gambling and lottery, health massages, etc., I hope you like it. Now, please move ......"
The guests cheered, and their emotions immediately rose. Led by the waiters, they walked happily to the outside of the banquet hall one by one.
Liang Shiqi stood up elegantly, gently pressed Xu Wenlong's ear and said, "Shall we go to the bow of the boat for a walk?" There are too many people here, and it's not fun. β
Xu Wenlong didn't like to be lively, and he didn't have the heart to have fun, so he nodded, grabbed Liang Shiqi's arm and wanted to say goodbye to Captain James.
Captain James on the side seemed to see through his thoughts, patted him on the shoulder first, and said in a funny tone in English and Chinese: "Mr. Xu, it's rare to be free, how about we go have a drink together?" I know you don't like gambling or dancing or any other entertainment. β
Xu Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and just as he wanted to decline Captain James's invitation, he happened to see two young ladies with floor-length skirts and dazzling diamond chains on their chests coming over and facing Liang Shiqi directly. So he gave Captain James a chin and smiled noncommittally.
Two elegant ladies came to Liang Shiqi, each stretched out their hands and introduced themselves enthusiastically: "Amanda, Caroline, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
Liang Shiqi didn't dare to slack off, and quickly held their hands and said, "Liang Shiqi, please take care of the two of you." β
"Miss Liang is too polite, seeing each other is fate, not to mention that they are all people in the same boat?" The older Amanda smiled slightly, and couldn't help but pull Liang Shiqi's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go have coffee and listen to music, and let the men play their cards and drink their wine." β
Liang Shiqi originally wanted to go for a walk on the bow of the boat with Xu Wenlong to enjoy the warm world of the two of them. It's just that because of the first time I met friends, it was inconvenient to resent their kindness, so I had no choice but to look at Xu Wenlong sadly, and reluctantly followed them to the outside of the banquet hall......
Xu Wenlong was also very helpless, so he had to look at the background of Liang Shiqi's departure with a lonely expression.
Seeing this, Captain James couldn't help but nod his head and said jokingly: "Beautiful as a fairy, like water and tender, no wonder Mr. Xu is so obsessed, no one wants to be separated for a moment!" But it doesn't matter, it's a long way, the coming days are long, you still have time to be together, and the most important thing now is to have a drink. β
Xu Wenlong's cheeks were hot, and he quickly took Captain James' hand and said, "Let's go, let's go drink." β
Turning the corner of the ballroom is a small ballroom with soft lighting, soothing music, and compact and trendy furnishings. More than a dozen first-class and enthusiastic bikini ladies are scratching their heads and posing in various sultry poses, looking at the distinguished guests who are coming in with affection. There were a few rooms behind the ballroom with closed doors, which were naturally places for gambling. During this period, the gambling equipment is complete, there are many patterns, and the dealer lady is even more graceful and graceful. It is worthy of the world of gold sales that makes people linger.
After the guests arrived at the ballroom
, and immediately divided into several groups of threes and twos. With the women's hearts without other thoughts, it is inconvenient to come to Hu, all of them walked through the hall with their heads held high, and they did not squint to the various private rooms to play cards and gamble. The single customers have no scruples, they rush into the door to find a girl they like, cuddle or dance with each other, or whisper and talk, or even a few glasses of spirits, and soon get up and leave their seats with their shoulders on their backs, and disappear in a blink of an eye.
Liang Shiqi and the two ladies laughed and walked towards an empty table.
The lewd man's girlfriend sat alone at a table, playing with a drink in her hand, but her eyes were looking at the east and west of the crowd from time to time, as if she was looking for someone important. It wasn't until Liang Shiqi and her party walked towards this side from afar that she sighed abruptly, and then pulled down her face and quickly stood up.
"You're Miss Liang, aren't you?" The lewd man's girlfriend, Da Lalama, stopped Liang Shiqi in her way and asked in a cold and hostile tone. Although she knew that Liang Shiqi's background might not be small, after all, she was accompanied by the captain during the banquet, but what does it matter? Who told her to collide with herself? Who told her to steal the limelight from herself? Who told her to be so ostentatious? What's more, her boyfriend is still so tall and handsome, and then look at her boyfriend, he is ugly and ugly. It's just one in the sky and the other in the ground, it's really angry to think about, and it makes people angry.
"May I ask ...... you are" Liang Shiqi was taken aback, and looked at the sudden and ill-intentioned obscene boyfriend and girlfriend with a blank face.
Amanda and Caroline opened their mouths even more, stunned at each other. They had never met such an impudent person, especially a young woman.
"My surname is Zhu, my name is Zhu Hong......" Zhu Hong, the lewd man's girlfriend, pursed her lips, and squinted her eyes up and down at Liang Shiqi in front of her.
"Zhufu...... Hello Miss Zhu, do you have any advice? Liang Shiqili stabilized her mood for a while, looked carefully at Zhu Hong, who was dressed like herself, and remembered for a long time that she was the obscene boyfriend and girlfriend who had a conflict with Wen Li when she got on the boat.
"Don't dare to advise," Zhu Hong's attitude was very blunt, and his tone was even more almost crazy, "I'm just curious, how can the style and color of your clothes be exactly the same as mine?" How is this possible? Could it be that yours is also specially customized by French design masters? It can't be a copycat. β
"This ......" Liang Shiqi looked at the bitter and depressed Zhu Hong steadily, and was really angry and funny. Who are these people? Just because of a set of clothes, a set of clothes of the same style and fabric, it is inexplicable to stop people and point fingers, and rob themselves in vain, is it crazy? She wanted to report the real brand of her clothes, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so why bother to stimulate her again? It's better to send her as soon as possible, and the sooner the better. Thinking of this, she smiled very kindly, shook her head and said carefully, "Actually, I don't hide it from Miss Zhu, my clothes are ...... My clothes are really a knockoff, and they aren't worth a lot of money at all......"
"Yes, Miss Liang's clothes are indeed 'copycat' goods! Hahaha...... "With a string of shrill laughter, the personable Chen Ke seemed to come out of the ground, and suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"It's you!" Zhu Hong's eyes lit up, and a flush suddenly flew on her face. She endured her excitement,
In a trembling voice, he said, "You...... What are you doing here...... You...... Did you also know that her clothes were counterfeits? β
"Yes!" Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders and continued in Liang Shiqi's surprised gaze, "I not only know that her clothes are 'copycat' goods, but also know where the factory of the 'cottage' clothes is, and even know who 'copys' it." β
"Really? Do you know this? When Zhu Hong heard this, she was so excited that she almost suffocated. She looked directly at Chen Ke with ** spicy eyes, and said with a smile like a flower, "Quick, come and listen." β
Chen Ke lifted his glasses and said to Liang Shiqi with a smile: "Does Miss Liang mind?" β
"Of course I don't mind!" Liang Shiqi had long been eager to get out quickly, and now someone has taken the initiative to come out to "testify" for herself, which is naturally unwanted. Although she has an inexplicable dislike for witnesses, and even some unspeakable antipathy.
"Thank you!" Chen Ke put away his smile, and said with a serious guide to Liang Shiqi's clothes, "This dress, the manufacturer is just a small workshop......"
"Small workshop?" When Zhu Hong heard this, she immediately glanced at Liang Shiqi with disdain, and then smiled again, looking at Chen Ke, who was pointing fingers and counting treasures. But as she listened, her smile froze and her breathing began to grow heavy.
"The workshop is very small, with less than 100 employees, and the production equipment is particularly backward, and the finished products are basically done by hand. However, its environment is still good, located on the banks of the Rhine River in Paris with beautiful scenery and every inch of land. And the founder of this small workshop is even more of a little-known person, what is the name of Erix......"
"Are you ......" As soon as Zhu Hong heard the word "Erex", he finally couldn't help jumping up, glaring at Chen Ke with fiery eyes and scolding, "It's just a complete hypocrite, it's so disappointing!" With that, she snorted heavily in her nose, turned around and walked out of the ballroom.
Chen Ke looked coldly at Zhu Hong, who was rushing away, shook his head and said with a contemptuous face: "It's really a lonely and short-sighted woman, even if you are not familiar with the works of top designer Erex, she still wears counterfeit goods and is ashamed to accuse and ridicule other people's genuine goods, doesn't this laugh off people's big teeth?" β
Liang Shiqi frowned, and said to Chen Ke very unhappily: "Why are you bothering? Isn't it just a set of clothes? What does it matter who is genuine and who is fake? Is it possible to hurt a woman's heart? Besides, Miss Zhu's outfit is actually not ordinary, and it is also tailored by a special designer, although there is an obvious suspicion of borrowing and copying. β
"Of course I know that, but who called her so shallow and arrogant?" Chen Ke smiled disappreδΈι¨ly, and then stretched out his hand to Liang Jiqi and said, "My name is Chen Ke, and I am very happy to meet Miss Liang." β
Liang Shiqi turned a blind eye, pulled Amanda and Caroline one by one, and replied lightly as she walked: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your outspoken words, let's see you later." β
Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, Mu Muran raised his right hand, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until Liang Shiqi and his two companions found an empty table and sat down, talking and laughing and taking the drink from the waiter, that he gritted his teeth and quickly left the hall with a vicious smile......
