Chapter 1: The Balance of Life and Death

Next Chapter

At the beginning of the lanterns, G City is still bustling at night, and a charity dinner is being held in the highest guild hall in the east of the city, hosted by the largest home textile group in country A, Xiuhua Home Textiles.

On the second floor of the hall is the banquet hall, where huge crystal chandeliers reflect the brilliance, flowers and tableware are neatly arranged, and the symphony orchestra on the side is adjusting musical instruments.

In a room on the third floor, Xia Xincheng was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror, and she gently brushed the blush on her cheeks with her index finger, so that her somewhat pale face looked more vibrant, and Han Guoguo, who was standing behind her, was about to cry in a hurry.

"Xincheng, what should I do? It's going to be eight o'clock soon. ”

Du Ruonan, who was standing at the window and kept holding the phone to dial, finally put down the phone and turned around and shook his head.

"No one answered."

Du Ruonan is tall and tall, with short hair that makes her look capable and decisive, Xia Xincheng has never seen her show a given up expression since she knew her, and at this time, she has sat on the sofa in frustration, holding her mobile phone tightly with both hands.

Xia Xincheng took out the lipstick and drew on the lip flap, the person in the mirror had exquisite makeup, and his original outstanding appearance looked particularly stunning at this time.

She got up and tidied up the bandeau mermaid red dress on her body, the red satin fit her body, supporting her figure exquisitely, the ruffles on the hem just reached the calf, the front exposed the knee, and a red acacia flower was tattooed three centimeters below the outside of the right knee.

"Even if we can't change it, we have to lose decently."

She patted Du Ruonan on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly.

Han Guoguo wiped her tears and put the black gauze shawl on the side for Xia Xincheng to wear, she didn't like clothes that were too revealing, so when she got the dress, she added a black gauze on it.

The black gauze shawl is tied with a red ribbon at the neck with a rose, and the shawl is made of seven-minute princess sleeves, and the fair skin looks particularly smooth against the black gauze.

Glancing at the golden invitation card on the side, he took a deep breath and reached out to pick it up.

Tonight's charity dinner was specially organized for her by Su Linglong, after so many years, she still lost, and the perfume brand Lanxi founded by herself became a lot tonight, at the disposal of others.

Su Linglong deliberately forced Lan Xi into a desperate situation, in order to ruin her hard work, and watched Xia Xincheng, who was known as the most talented perfumer, fall into disrepute.

Su Linglong asked people to add allergenic substances to Lanxi's products, which caused some customers to have serious allergic reactions, once this report came out, it would have a huge impact on the Lanxi brand, originally Xia Xincheng was not afraid, and she naturally had to take responsibility for the mistakes, but what she didn't expect was that the person who added the allergens turned out to be her mother.

She knew that her mother was being used by Su Linglong, and if she had such a big handle in Su Linglong's hands, Su Linglong would make a big fuss, and Lanxi would not only be hit hard, but also lose her family.

She and Su Linglong grew up together since childhood, the two families are world friends, and the relationship has started from their parents, but they didn't expect that for so many years, the Su family has been calculating them.

What is auctioned today is Lanxi's three-year contract, which is equivalent to Su Linglong asking her to take Lanxi's staff to work for others for three years.

Xia Xincheng knew very well that he didn't have the funds to make up for the three-year deficit.

Su Linglong's bureau is very advanced, and the two ways to die are either reported to be ruined, or they endure humiliation and steal life, and are slowly tortured by her.

In country A, it is not impossible to have a company as big as Xiuhua Home Textiles, but the Su family spoke, they will not help Xia Xincheng, Su Linglong just wants to see her worst appearance.

When the kettle was wrecked, Du Ruonan thought of Shengshi Group.

Shengshi Group has been founded for more than 50 years, its industries include jewelry, steel machinery, artificial intelligence, and medical care, all kinds of companies are distributed around the world, Shengshi is a family business, all say that the wealth is not more than three generations, but Shengshi has developed to the third generation, not only did not decline, but expanded the original territory tenfold, which shows the strength of this family.

Shengshi had cooperated with Lanxi twice before, and because of this, Lanxi's reputation gradually increased.

Xia Xincheng wants to be acquired by Shengshi, and she is willing to take out a five-year contract to give fifty percent of Lanxi's income to Shengshi.

Du Ruonan was not convinced, tried his best, searched for someone, drank with him until his stomach bleed, and finally got a call from a senior executive of Shengshi, but no one answered.

Xia Xincheng was light, she knew that everyone had done their best, picked up the invitation, pushed the door open, and walked downstairs slowly with Han Guoguo and Du Ruonan.

At this time, the bell rang at eight o'clock, and the banquet began, Xia Xincheng saw Su Linglong wearing a white brick-lined dress, standing in front of her holyly and elegantly.

Xia Xincheng walked to her side, and Su Linglong smiled and took her hand: "Sister Xia, have you thought about it?" ”

"Mr. Su let me know, it turns out that as long as the toad is disgusting, it can still eat swan meat." The corners of Xia Xincheng's mouth brought out a sneer, they used to be like sisters, and they never thought that all this was only calculation in Su Linglong's eyes.

Su Linglong was not to be outdone: "My sister has always looked down on me, but unfortunately, some people's hearts are higher than the sky and their lives are thinner than paper, you can also not sign a contract, I didn't force you." ”

She didn't force it, but she had her mother's handle in her hand.

Xia Xincheng took a step forward, grabbed Su Linglong's shoulders with both hands, and leaned close to her ear: "I advise you to accept it when you see it, I don't have anything now, and a bite will break the bone." ”

Su Linglong felt that her shoulder was pinched by Xia Xincheng a little painful, if she went crazy, it would be terrible, she was the winner now, there was no need to entangle.

"Okay, get the contract."

Han Guoguo bit her lip and was about to hand over the contract in her hand, but Du Ruonan stepped forward to stop her and said coldly: "The banquet has not yet reached the acquisition process, why is Miss Su in such a hurry?" ”

Su Linglong smiled disdainfully: "Director Du is still so straightforward, since this is the case, then sister should sit down and rest for a while." ”

The attendant stepped forward and led them to their respective positions.

Du Ruonan kept staring at her mobile phone, although no one answered, she still insisted on sending text messages, Han Guoguo held the contract tightly and bowed her head silently, Xia Xincheng reached out to hold the hands of the two of them.

"It's okay."

Lanxi was founded by her, and she knows the hardships better than anyone else, and she is also very fortunate to have met these lovely people, and they have made Lanxi successful.

Seeing the wanton destruction of one's beloved object is difficult for anyone to accept.

Su Linglong delivered a speech in front, and the lots of the charity gala were all brought by guests.

In order to let everyone see the destruction of Xia Xincheng and Lanxi, Su Linglong invited half of the city's dignitaries and celebrities.

She didn't want to listen to everything around her, until a chasing light hit her, Xia Xincheng suddenly came back to her senses.

Han Guoguo on the side whispered: "Xincheng, they let you play the piano." ”

Xia Xincheng looked ahead, and Su Linglong said: "Mr. Xia likes to play the piano very much, this time Lanxi has prepared a big gift for the dinner, Mr. Xia might as well play a song, so that everyone can also feast their ears." ”

Du Ruonan slapped the table hard and stood up, Xia Xincheng grabbed her, signaling that there was no need to argue, most of the guests here were friends of the Su family, and there were some neutral people, and the few people who were good friends with her were not in City A at this time, Su Linglong's deliberate design of the big drama was naturally indispensable to these difficulties.
