Chapter 219: The Man Who Stands at the Dragon's Head
Classical and modern are intertwined, this dragon boat is tantamount to the most dazzling one of the flower boat parades, when the fifteen drums sound, the flower boat parade officially began.
Xie Qingtang walked into the banquet hall, she was the most plainly dressed among them, but among the curious eyes of everyone, she was also the most calm, and kept a distance not far from Dong Weiyi.
"Tangtang, you are here, I knew that Xiao Dong would definitely be able to bring you over, so I didn't invite you over in advance, it seems that my guess was right." Sima Wei jumped out of nowhere, wearing a light blue bandeau evening dress, the skirt behind her swaying like a fishtail, and slowly walked towards Xie Qingtang.
Xie Qingtang, who was dressed in a green shirt, and Sima Wei, who was dressed in a gorgeous evening dress, stood together, but they were not inferior, as if they were like a unique landscape.
Both of them are good-looking, but Xie Qingtang, who has not applied powder, is slightly better than Sima Wei in the eyes of everyone, and this sense of purity that is naturally carved and decorated is not something that everyone has.
"Xiaowei, it turns out that you are also here." Seeing that an acquaintance suddenly appeared in this banquet hall full of strangers, Xie Qingtang's mood couldn't help but relax a little, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The appearance of this smile made the flowers lose color, and even the lights on the surrounding flower boats seemed a little dim, and those who were watching this side in the banquet hall were stunned for a moment when they saw the smile on the corner of Xie Qingtang's mouth.
"Oops, I don't know which beauty this is so good-looking, I don't know who will be cheaper in the future." Sima Wei's other little sisters also gathered around, laughing at Xie Qingtang and said.
With the company of Sima Wei and these little sisters, Xie Qingtang didn't care about the eyes of others, and followed them into the banquet hall, but Dong Weiyi, who invited Xie Qingtang, became a marginal person.
Looking at Dong Weiyi, who was standing there and didn't follow, Sima Wei's eyes showed a sense of happiness, and then took Xie Qingtang's hand and walked directly to the side.
"It's too lively today, it's a pity that Su Xue didn't come, I can't see this lively scene, usually, Su Xue is most willing to participate in such an occasion, because her family education is very strict, it's rare to be so lively, it's strange today, why don't you come?"
One of the little sisters was gossiping with a glass of wine in her hand, and Sima Wei was also full of doubts, and explained to Xie Qingtang next to her: "Tangtang, you don't know, after returning from your Cunshan Hall last time, Su Xue seems to have changed as a person, and she almost didn't participate in the gathering of our little sisters, and she stayed at home all day long, and she didn't know what great inventions she was doing." ”
After the words fell, the little sisters around them all giggled, and Xie Qingtang knew in his heart that he was talking about making great inventions, if he had a child, it would be counted.
Su Xue's topic was just a small episode, Sima Wei's eyes flashed, and she said to everyone: "Do you know why so many bigwigs from the business world are here today's flower boat tour?" ”
"The flower boat tour is an annual event in Suzhou City, and of course these bigwigs will come in order to have a good time." One of the little sisters thought she knew the truth.
But what she didn't expect was that Sima Wei shook her head and continued: "No, no, no, do you know who the person who can stand on the top of the dragon this year is, but I got the grapevine that the person who can stand on the top of the head this year is the person in the entire business world who is eager to stammer." ”
As soon as these words came out, it was no surprise that they attracted the attention of these little sisters, and they asked one after another, who is this person who can stand on the dragon's head?
And the only person who is not interested in this matter is Xie Qingtang, because she doesn't know what it means to be able to stand on the leader.
It wasn't until Sima Wei saw the calmness and indifference in her eyes that she explained to her: "Tangtang, you just returned to Su City this year, and you may not know what it means for us to stand on the top of the dragon for us, the upper-class families in Su City?" ”
"The leader of the dragon represents the person who can stand on the leader, the leader in the business community this year, the leader who can lead the economic development of Suzhou City, and the leader of the business, I say this, do you understand?"
After the words fell, Xie Qingtang also nodded, which means that the person who can stand on the dragon will become the focus of attention and is recognized by everyone as the first.
After listening to Sima Wei's explanation, Xie Qingtang was also a little curious, and then said: "If you want to say this, does Mr. Dong also have a chance to stand on the leader?" ”
"It's not wrong if you want to say that, it's just that Dong Weiyi is still a little short of standing on the leader, and this year I think the person who can stand on the top is the man." Sima Wei's eyes flashed and said, which made Xie Qingtang even more curious.
As everyone was talking, the drums beat again throughout the banquet hall, and they all fell silent, and everyone looked at the position on the stage, and behind the host was the dragon head that attracted the attention of thousands of people.
"I think everyone is already looking forward to the people who can stand on the top this year, we have several candidates here this year, and the candidates who can stand on the top are Dong Weiyi of the Dong family, Su Xuemei of the Su family, and Gu Xiujin of the Gu family."
After the host's words fell, the people below burst into applause, and two of the three candidates were known by themselves, Xie Qingtang did not expect that Gu Xiujin was also among the candidates who could stand on the leader.
"Every year, Gu Xiujin will be put into the list of candidates, but every year he will not come to participate, even if he is selected as a leader, he will not appear." Sima Wei explained beside her.
Thinking of Gu Xiujin's body, Xie Qingtang also nodded clearly, but after the explanation of these gossip sisters next to her, Su Xuemei of the Su family knew that this Su Xuemei was Su Xue's sister, who was only 27 years old, and had already taken over the Su family's business, and she was also a well-known businesswoman in the business world.
After the announcement of the candidates for the top spot, everyone began to stagger again, because it will take some time to finally select the person who can stand on the top spot.
"She is Su Xue's sister." Sima Wei pointed to a noble and elegant woman in a black and purple evening dress, and said to Xie Qingtang.
Xie Qingtang nodded, and glanced at the woman carefully, noble and cold, and comfortable among many men.
