The red carpet of the reception was set up outside the banquet hall.

When Fan Yue and Jason arrived at the door, the celebrities and artists had already entered, and only some high-level business tycoons were left, talking and taking photos in pairs.

They checked the invitation and walked briskly inside.

Seeing that Fan Yue's expression was a little complicated, Jason thought that she was still entangled in the photo of Reuters Zhou Mo and Jia Manling, and it was rare that there was no poisonous tongue to guide Fan Yue, "It's common to take a photo together." Aren't there married male stars and unmarried female partners on the red carpet in Cannes? ”

"Huh?" Fan Yue and Jason didn't think about the same thing.

First, she is not a very calm person, and secondly, she looks at people who are well-dressed or have a successful career, and they talk and laugh in groups, so this kind of occasion is quite stressful for a small social animal like her.

So the expression is a little dignified, I want to try to be calm, so that I don't look surprised at all.

"The old scumbag wants to be a male companion, so he didn't say hello to you first?" Although Zhou Mo's image has seriously improved since the last time the barbecue restaurant overtook Fan Yue, this title Jason can't change for a while.

Fan Yue shook her head uncertainly, "It seems to be ...... I didn't say it. ”

Jason, "...... What do you mean by likeness? How many hours ago was the last time you were in contact? ”

The banquet hall was crowded with people, and the lights were flashing and colorful.

"A few hours...... Former? Fan Yue's eyes swept in the banquet hall, wanting to see if there were any colleagues, he was dazzled and a little distracted for a while, Jason's words just entered his ears in vain, "No, the last time was on Tuesday, before I made the year-end report that day, he sent a WeChat message to encourage me to come." ”

"Two days ago?"

A waiter passed by, Fan Yue took two glasses of champagne and nodded, is there a problem?

Jason took the champagne handed by Fan Yue and was about to roll his eyes, but he turned to a familiar figure that flashed into a half-

“Chris！”

The boy who was stopped looked at him, and then Jason pulled Fan Yue and walked over, "Ouch, you little beauty hasn't seen you for a long time!" Why don't you say anything to me when you come to Shanghai? ”

"Where are you beautiful? You see that I came here in a hurry and with a gray face, and I haven't had time to plant my eyelashes, where is your beauty. ”

Fan Yue watched the two dressed girls and delicate little girlfriends boasting to each other, and the conversation was so incomprehensible that she couldn't interject, so she raised her champagne glass to the girl next to Chris who was also silent, and greeted the same person.

The girl is not tall, high heels are hateful, she looks as old as her, and she has a pair of big smart eyes, but she is a little ...... when she doesn't smile The milk is fierce, and the aura is full.

Lin Xi hooked the corners of his mouth at Fan Yue in response politely, and then pressed the corners of his mouth again, looking at a certain place in the banquet and squinting his eyes slightly.

She came to Shanghai this time to participate in the International Hotel Industrial Design and Supplies Expo, and this time, Mr. Yao, who was the CEO of Lavida at the time, also came from the imperial capital, planning to put his son in the management position.

"Didn't you say that E's skirt is not for sale?" Lin Xi bent his elbow and bumped into Chris, who was chatting with Jason who was too excited, "Look at that girl over there, she's wearing the one I like, right?" ”

After she finished speaking, several people looked along.

"It seems to be really ......" Chris frowned and didn't dare to confirm it, but after communicating with Jason, the two stylists with a keen sense of smell agreed that it was the show dress of the E family in early spring.

"Really?"

Chris heard the ridiculous tone of the gold owner's mother and hurriedly defended himself, "Miss Lin is wronged! I really negotiated with E family PR to borrow it...... Oh no, I just mentioned that you want to buy it, but they refused on the grounds that this dress was the main theme of the season and should be left for celebrities to shoot magazine covers. ”

Lin Xi pouted. This is an era of bowing to traffic, and there are really things that money can't buy. shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Oh-well, but what kind of coffee position is that actress?" It doesn't seem to be very impressive? The main thing is that I haven't seen ......."

Chris was actually very puzzled, and was about to ask Jason, when he saw that Lin Xi had already stepped on a small heel of twelve centimeters and strode in that direction, and hurriedly followed.

"Who are you talking about?" Fan Yue looked at the direction they were leaving, and then asked Jason.

"Jamanling."

Fan Yue was stunned.

She went in that direction first, but she really didn't find her in the crowd, until she followed Lin Xi's back and saw Jia Manling in a white bandeau dress.

And the first thing she saw was Zhou Mo, who was tall and taller than the people around her.

The man seemed to have a detection radar in his head, and at this time, he turned his head to look in her direction, and his sharp gaze passed through the colorful banquet hall where he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the eyes of the two collided so unexpectedly.

The distance was not far away, and he couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but he knew from the silhouette that it was Fan Yue.

Wearing a smoky pink dress, he could only see his upper body from an angle, and her smooth and straight black hair was on her shoulders, and her skin became fairer and fairer under the light of the lantern.

The whole person is fairy, delicate and pure.

"Lawyer Zhou."

Zhou Mo retracted his gaze, a little surprised to see Lin Xi here. But on second thought, this is not only Langyi's territory, but it is not surprising that she appears at any kind of drinking party in her capacity.

He bowed his head at the person, and said in a calm voice, "Mr. Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"How long has it been?" Lin Xi said to himself, "It seems to be the same, the last time was in the office of your law firm in Nancheng a few months ago, and I remember that there were still people who came to the door to make trouble that day." ”

Lin Xi's gaze didn't stay on him for long, even if there were two older couples standing next to him, she wasn't ready to greet anyone, she just looked at Jia Manling, just staring straight ahead.

Jia Manling remembers her, on the first day of the musical's most touring to Shanghai, after having dinner with the Zhou family, she met Lin Xi in the corridor of the Pinxuan Pavilion restaurant downstairs. Zhou Mo said at the time that she was a shareholder or president of Lavida.

It's just that anyone who is stared at by Lin Xi's unshy scrutiny for a long time will be uncomfortable, between her identity Jia Manling endured and didn't dare to splash, "May I ask if my face is stained-"

"You don't have anything on your face," Lin Xun interrupted coldly, and then smiled again, "Miss, you have a very good skirt on you, and it matches your skin color and temperament, I want to ask which brand it is?" ”

"Really? Thank you. This is the early spring model of the E family, "Seeing that people's attitudes change quickly, and their expressions are very friendly, Jia Manling thought that he was dazzled just now, so he talked to people about his opinions on skirts, "Although it is a spring model, I think the white is simple and generous, and it is very suitable at any time of the year." The design of the details is also exquisite, so I also liked it at a glance. ”

Lin Xi nodded with an expression of "I agree with you very much", looked at Chris with an uncertain expression, pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word.

Chris had an epiphany, Lin Xi really with this skirt.

*

Jason briefly introduced the origins of Lin Xi and Chris, and talked about the E family's skirt on Jia Manling.

"Chris is a prestigious stylist in the styling industry, not to mention that he can't borrow it, and he can't even buy the rich second generation of Lavida just now, which shows that just like the brand said, it is left for big-name stars to shoot magazine covers or wear on the high-end red carpet."

"Compared to having money and background, Jia Manling is definitely not as good as Lin Xi, and her coffee position is ......" Jason was puzzled, how did Jia Manling get this early spring show dress.

Fan Yue didn't understand the unwritten rules of the fashion circle, and after listening to Jason's explanation, she found that there were quite a few people around who were discussing Jia Manling's because of that skirt.

"Who the hell is that woman? I was able to get the skirt of E's house. ”

"You don't know? Previously, Canxing made an unprecedented official announcement on Weibo that he was their latest artist. I heard that Song Qian, who is still the number one, personally acted as her agent. ”

"Really? But her appearance is very average in the entertainment industry, any traffic flower can blow her up, right? Good acting? Or is there something going on? ”

"She used to be the number one female musical before, and it seems that she was also compiled into the National Theater, I guess she must have a bit of background. But the rest is not clear, but I recognize her male companion tonight. ”

"Who's who?" The girl looked in the direction.

"Lemon Video recently wanted to do a workplace observation reality show and found a law firm in the red circle. I saw from Jiang Shanshan's circle of friends that she took a screenshot of the partner of the law firm's official website, and the man's ...... Not yet an ordinary partner, the title is the managing partner! ”

"Wait, are you talking about Zhou Zheng! I also saw Jiang Shanshan's circle of friends, and I became a nymphomaniac when I looked at the photos! Is it Zhou or Zheng by Jia Manling's side? The real person is much more handsome than in the photos......"

The two girls walked away, and the voice gradually faded.

Jason raised his eyebrows and looked at Fan Yue, pinching his voice to learn the girl's tone and exaggerated, "I'll be a nymphomaniac when I look at the photo~ The real person is better than the photo——"

"Get out!" Although Fan Yue said cruel words, her little face was still red.

Jason's teasing couldn't stop, "Tut-tut, if he's serious about you, if you're not playing, then watch it tightly." This kind of golden single older man, the tigers, leopards and jackals who want to stick to him in a hurry, I am afraid that they will eat him clean, and there will be no bones left for you. ”

Fan Yue's belly scolded Jason, what kind of metaphor is this.

Let's talk about Zhou Mo's physical strength...... It's okay if you don't wipe people clean.

Zhou Jianpeng originally wanted his son to introduce Langyi's Lin Xi to him, but the little girl disappeared after chatting with Man Ling about the skirt.

Zhou Mo glanced at Fan Yue's previous direction again, and found that the person had disappeared. In the afterglow, Song Qian and Canxing's Fang Zong were walking towards them.

Song Qian wore a burgundy suspender dress today, the slit of the skirt was as deep as the V-neck on the chest, and the skirt was exposed to a slender long leg when she walked, sexy and enchanting, full of aura.

"Uncle Zhou and Aunt Deng, long time no see." Song Qianhong's lips raised a decent and generous smile, and then looked at the other couple beside him, "I guess uncle and aunt are Man Ling's parents, right?" ”

In fact, before signing a contract with Jia Manling, Song Qian checked her background clearly.

Although the momentum is not as good as before, the Jia family is also a prestigious family in the imperial capital.

Song Qian expected that Jia Shan would come this time, and it was naturally not as simple as saying that he wanted to invest.

At this time, the capital injection and not to mention that it does not comply with the process will cause dissatisfaction among other investors, and the biggest beneficiary will not be Canxing but Jia Shan himself.

How could Jia Shan not know such a simple truth, so when he mentioned the removal of Manling's spokesperson, Song Qian naturally prepared his words.

"Uncle Jia, Man Ling is the person who Zhou Mo personally pushed over, and as soon as she enters Canxing, I will definitely not slack off, and I will do my best to plan for her future development."

"But the objective facts are in front of us, although Canxing and Huixin have cooperation, they are Party A in terms of product endorsement, and competitors have chosen the popular Xiaosheng ......"

In short, Jia Manling was not selected, and Song Qian was thrown at the objective fact that she was not famous for the time being and that Shanghai Development Bank chose popular traffic.

At the same time, he expressed that Canxing is trying to fight for more opportunities for her.

Jia Shan is such a daughter, and he is very spoiled, and he basically responds to her needs. From Man Ling's mouth, it sounded that the situation was that Huixin had already decided on her, and he reversed himself and changed people.

After he said this, Deng Jun noticed that his son's face had an impatience that could not be concealed.

Zhou Mo slandered: Didn't this stupid thing have been explained to Jia Manling that it is not even a verbal contract? Was Jia Shan's IQ infected by her daughter?

And Deng Jun is actually dissatisfied.

The Jia family and his wife have been living in Shanghai for several weeks, and they really don't treat themselves as outsiders, and she has long been resentful. Recently, I have quarreled with Zhou Jianpeng several times about this matter, but my husband is obviously not used to it, but he just can't pull his face and drive people away.

Their conversation wore out Zhou Mo's temperament, and he excused himself to go to the bathroom to leave, wanting to change his ears and clean up.

Fan Yue drank a glass of champagne and a glass of cocktail, in addition to warming up her body, she also let go a little.

When you come to the party, you can see the world and learn some skills by observing the conversation and socializing with the people around you. Second, Qiao Yanhua also said that she needs to force herself out of her comfort zone.

Only then did she remember that Qiao Yanhua said after the press conference that he would wait for her at the door of the banquet hall to have a cocktail party with her.

She didn't pay attention to the hurry with Jason just now, thinking that if Qiao Group hadn't seen her, she would definitely not continue to wait there, and was about to take out her mobile phone from her handbag when she saw Qiao Yanhua walking towards her.

Jason saw that it was her boss, and Fan Yue would not be left alone, and after a few words of greeting with people, the social little butterfly couldn't bear it, and flapped her wings with a goblet and blended into the crowd.

Qiao Yanhua looked at Fan Yue's body incomprehensibly, and clinked glasses with her, "You don't come to me when you come in, it just so happens that the HR who is private is also here, I'll take you over to meet." ”

Fan Yue was a little overjoyed when she heard HR, she must have wanted to talk about work, and she didn't think much about following Qiao Yanhua to the infield.

During this period, Qiao Yanhua saw that the wine in her hand was empty, and took another glass of red wine from the waiter's hand for him.

When passing through the crowd, Fan Yue didn't know if the banquet hall was really crowded or slightly drunk, she could feel that whenever someone passed by or introduced to someone, Qiao Yanhua's hand would inadvertently put on her waist or back.

Although he felt that these actions were a little inappropriate, but every time he just clicked on the water for a few seconds, Fan Yue didn't dare to think deeply, and it was a gentleman's move of the other party.

"Zhang Xin, this is Fan Yue, an intern in our group that I mentioned to you before. Fan Yue, this is Zhang Xin of HR. ”

Except for talking about work in the first ten minutes, Qiao Yanhua lightly mentioned that Fan Yue's work was serious and correct, and there was no hint about the salary increase.

Coupled with Qiao Yanhua's ability to chatter about homely things, not to mention Fan Yue's incarnation of a nodding robot, Zhang Xin took the lead in leaving the high table after frequently looking at his watch.

"Do you remember what I said to you in my year-end summary two days ago?" Qiao Yanhua put one hand on the table and said to Fan Yue with a smile, "Opportunities don't always favor you, the future is to be won by yourself." ”

Fan Yue naturally remembered that it was his inspirational words that made Fan Yue break through herself and participate in tonight's cocktail party.

It's just that Qiao Group doesn't know if it's because of a private occasion or because she is drunk at this time, looking at her with an unclear expression, and the distance between the two is a little too close......

"Fan Yue, you are dressed very beautifully today," Qiao Yanhua didn't seem to notice that the distance between the two had already broken through the social distance of normal colleagues, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes squinted slightly, "Although you are beautiful, you are still just a piece of jade, you need to be polished and improved by someone with a heart, and with your own efforts, you will definitely be able to climb to a higher position in the future." ”

"Since I've taken care of you so many times," Seeing the girl stunned in place, Qiao Yanhua thought that she was thinking about weighing it, and said that the bracelet was on Fan Yue's waist, "Do you want to fight for it?" ”

Fan Yue only felt that the blood in her whole body was gradually dropping to the freezing point, Qiao Yanhua wanted to ...... Unspoken rules for her?

When she reacted, she immediately reached out to push, but someone grabbed her waist even harder.

The girl's waist hurt and her feet fell, and at the same time, she felt the hand behind her that was holding her waist suddenly let go, and Fan Yue was ready to fall miserably......

There was no expected pain, and I fell into a wide and solid embrace unexpectedly.

The tip of the nose instantly overflowed with the familiar mint fragrance. It is the most reassuring taste for her.

Qiao Yanhua first felt his right hand being held violently, and then he felt a huge force pushing him out.

"Zhou Mo!"
