Chapter 57: I Seem to Have Done Something Wrong

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for participating in Chairman Sheng's 60th birthday in your busy schedule, and I would like to invite Chairman Sheng and his wife to give a speech on stage, everyone is welcome!"

After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, the audience immediately burst into warm applause, and it was not until Sheng Guoqiang and Mrs. Sheng came to the stage that the applause slowly stopped.

Sheng Guoqiang is wearing a dark gray tunics today, which can vaguely see the style of the past, Mrs. Sheng is wearing an indigo embroidered cheongsam and a complete set of emerald jewelry, showing grace and luxury.

The master of ceremonies handed the microphone to Sheng Guoqiang, and he first made a polite two sentences, expressing his gratitude to the guests who came to celebrate his birthday, and then especially thanking his wife for holding this birthday banquet for him.

The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause, especially Sun Qiyu, who applauded and applauded, for fear that others would not notice him, and he would be honest after being slapped by his mother.

Just when everyone thought that the speech was over, Sheng Guoqiang picked up the microphone again, "I want to take this opportunity to announce two things to everyone. ”

The banquet hall fell silent for a moment, and many people realized that something was about to happen, especially the few people at the main table, all of whom looked nervously at the people on the stage.

As if she realized something, Mrs. Sheng turned to look at her husband, a coldness flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly masked by a smile.

"Lao Sheng, today is your birthday, so many guests are waiting for the banquet, what's the matter for another day!" Mrs. Sheng put her arm around her husband and spoke generously and decently.

Sheng Guoqiang patted the back of her hand, but he didn't mean to stop.

"The first thing, after my recommendation and approval by the board of directors, agreed to appoint Sheng Rulan as the vice chairman of Shengshi Group and general manager of Sheng's Beauty and Plastic Surgery Hospital, Sheng Hongjie as the chairman of the board of supervisors and general manager of Sheng's health care products company, and Sheng Baiwen as the president of Shengshi Group and acting chairman."

As soon as Sheng Rulan and Sheng Hongjie showed ecstatic expressions on their faces, they were shattered by the last sentence.

"I disagree!"

Sheng Hongjie has always been breathless, pointed at Sheng Baiwen and said: "He is the acting chairman, so don't we all have to look at his face and do things in the future?" ”

Sheng Rulan is not as stupid as him, and she can see that her mother doesn't know about this.

Although she is now the vice chairman, in the final analysis, the real power is still in Sheng Baiwen's hands, you must know that the chairman has not been in the company for the past two years, and she is basically in charge of the company's affairs, so she can't do it.

"Dad also feels sorry for Bai Wen, which we can all understand, but he has only been in the company for two years, and he is not familiar with many things, is it a bit inappropriate to let him act as chairman? It's better to let him hone for a few more years......"

"Alright, I've decided on this matter!" Sheng Guoqiang interrupted Sheng Rulan's words, "The letter of appointment has been handed over to the legal department for review, and it will be issued to all departments as soon as I get to work tomorrow." ”

Sheng Rulan's expression froze on her face, but she didn't say anything more.

The most surprising thing is Sheng Hongjie, I don't know what his wife told him, he didn't make any trouble at all, but he looked at Sheng Baiwen's eyes very unfriendly.

Sheng Guoqiang didn't seem to see the open and secret fighting of his children, and continued: "The second thing to announce next, my son Sheng Baiwen is about to get engaged to Miss Ji Nanjin. ”

From the beginning, he lowered his head and tried his best to be a person who didn't exist, and when he heard this, he only felt a 'buzz' in his head, and suddenly turned his head to look at the people around him.

obviously said that after the birthday banquet was over, he would tell Uncle Sheng that they had broken up, why did he suddenly announce his engagement?

When he was pulled on stage by Sheng Baiwen, Ji Nanjin's head was still confused, and the voice in his ears seemed to disappear suddenly, only to see that many people were applauding.

Why are they applauding?

"Sumire." Sheng Baiwen's voice seemed to come from far away.

She turned her head stiffly and looked at the red wine he handed over, and not far away, Uncle Sheng was looking at her with a smile, as if waiting to raise a glass to celebrate with her.

No, no, that's not right.

Ji Nanjin seemed to suddenly come to her senses, pushed Sheng Baiwen's hand away and walked over, "Uncle Sheng, I have something to tell you." ”

"If you have anything to say, I'll wait until the birthday banquet is over." Sheng Baiwen hurriedly grabbed Ji Nanjin and said to her in a low voice, "It's rare that Dad is so happy today, I don't want to ruin his fun." ”

Ji Nanjin shook his head, "Brother Bai Wen, this matter can't be done. ”

"Count me in!" Sheng Baiwen quickly finished saying this, grabbing Ji Nanjin's shoulder and not letting her pass, "Dad, Xiao Jin is a little uncomfortable, I'll take her out to breathe." ”

Sheng Guoqiang seemed to realize something, and his inquiring gaze swept over his son's face, "Go ahead, take care of Sumire." ”

"I know, Dad." After Sheng Baiwen finished speaking, he pulled Ji Nanjin and left.

There was a terrace next to the banquet hall, and as soon as the door closed, Ji Nanjin shook off his hand, "Didn't you say that I was asked to pretend to be your girlfriend and last celebrate my uncle's birthday?" ”

Sheng Baiwen also seemed a little irritable, pulled the tie around his neck and said, "Don't worry, I will make it clear to him after the birthday banquet is over." ”

"But so many people have heard it, and tomorrow the whole City C will know about our engagement." Ji Nanjin hugged her head in a broken heart, "He Zhizhang knows that he will kill me." ”

The three words 'He Zhizhang' suddenly burst into his ears, and Sheng Baiwen thought that he had misheard, so he heard Ji Nanjin ask: "What time is it?" ”

Sheng Baiwen looked at his watch, "Sixty forty." ”

"It's time for me to go, I promised him to be home at eight o'clock." Ji Nanjin turned around and walked towards the banquet hall, she wanted to go home quickly, and then explain this matter to He Zhizhang.

"The birthday feast has just begun, why don't you leave now?" Sheng Baiwen grabbed Ji Nanjin, "Dad just announced our engagement, what do you think about others when you leave?" ”

"So why didn't you just let me explain?"

"I didn't make it clear to you in advance that I was wrong, and I apologize to you."

Sheng Baiwen grabbed Ji Nanjin's shoulder and turned her around, "You also know my situation in the Sheng family, in that family, no one except my father can look down on me, they don't treat me as a family at all, I only care about my father, I don't want to disappoint him, do you understand?" ”

I've known Sheng Baiwen for so long, Ji Nanjin has never seen such an expression on his face, inferiority, pain, loneliness, and vulnerability, this is not the Sheng Baiwen she knows.

"Sumire ......"

"I can help you, but you have to promise me that I will make it clear to my uncle as soon as the banquet is over, and besides, I don't care what method you use, the news of the engagement cannot be reported."

"I promise you."

In the billiards club on the second floor of the clubhouse, He Zhizhang finished the last shot, threw the club to Yu Zitao, and walked to the rest area to drink water.

Yu Zitao came over, picked up the beer on the table and took a sip, "The old man of the Sheng family celebrates his birthday tonight, why didn't you go?" ”

He Zhizhang didn't bother to raise his eyelids, of course that kind of boring occasion was handed over to Vice President Ouyang, otherwise why spend so much money to invite him to come?

"What about Ji Nanjin? Why didn't you bring her today? ”

Yu Zitao, which pot does not open, in exchange for He Zhizhang's cold eyes.

Looking at his expression of dissatisfaction, Yu Zitao's mind immediately opened, "She shouldn't go on a date with someone else behind your back!" Zhang, have you been dumped? ”

"Shut your mouth!"

He Zhizhang reached out to take the wine, and suddenly there was a fragrant wind next to him, and the beautiful woman with red nails picked up the bottle of wine, "Why is Mr. He drinking here alone?" ”

"Hey, what are your eyes, I'm not human?" Yu Zitao shouted dissatisfiedly.

The beauty smiled at him, handed the poured wine to He Zhizhang's lips, and put her arm on his shoulder, "I saw Mr. He playing just now, I also want to learn, I don't know if Mr. He can teach me?" ”

He Zhizhang took the wine glass but didn't drink it, and swept the woman leaning on him with cold eyes, "Get out!" ”

The woman was bored, and left embarrassedly, Yu Zitao sat over, "Hua Ye said that you are a lover/child, I still don't believe it, how can you say such hurtful things to a beautiful woman?" What a gentleman! ”

He Zhizhang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and at this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and the call was made by Anya.

"President, I'm sorry to bother you so late, there's something I think I should tell you."

"Getting to the point."

"Vice President Ouyang called me just now and said that he saw Mr. Ji at Chairman Sheng's birthday banquet."

He Zhizhang's eyes changed, and he hung up the phone without waiting for Anya to finish speaking.

Yu Zitao was flirting with his sister at the billiard table, and when he turned around, he found that He Zhizhang was gone, and he called several times and was busy, "What's the situation?" ”

He Zhizhang has been calling Ji Nanjin since he got in the car, and if he can't get through, he will call Ouyang Fei.

As soon as Ouyang Fei finished talking to Anya on the phone, he received a call from the boss, and hurriedly found a quiet place to answer the phone, "BOSS." ”

"You're still at the hotel?"

"Yes, it's not over yet."

"Where is Sumire? Let her answer the phone. ”

After the last board of directors, Ouyang Fei guessed that the relationship between the boss and Ji Nanjin was not ordinary, so when he heard the news of her engagement to Sheng Baiwen, he immediately called Anya to test it, and as a result, he tried out all the bosses.

Ouyang Fei didn't go to Ji Nanjin immediately, but hesitated and said, "BOSS, before I let Miss Ji answer the phone, I think I should tell you one thing first." ”

Listening to his same tone as Anya, He Zhizhang had a bad premonition in his heart, and soon this premonition came true.

Hearing that Sheng Guoqiang announced the news of their engagement in public, He Zhizhang's face darkened, "Fuck! ”

In the banquet hall, Ji Nanjin was restless, she knew that she shouldn't stay here, and she promised He Zhizhang to get home before eight o'clock.

Maybe you should give him a call.

Ji Nanjin finally remembered his mobile phone, and when he turned it out of his bag, he looked at the two missed calls on it, and his heart was cold.

There were a lot of people smoking on the terrace, so she had to go to the elevator and call He Zhizhang as she went.

The phone was quickly connected, and He Zhizhang's cold voice came out of the earpiece, "Where are you?" ”

"Me, I'm celebrating my friend's dad's birthday and I'll be back soon."

"Which friend?"

A lie often requires more lies to be rounded, Ji Nanjin began to regret coming here, put her head against the wall and said, "He Zhizhang, I seem to have done something wrong." ”

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Ji Nanjin was even more bottomless in her heart, biting her lip and asking, "He Zhizhang, are you willing to believe me?" ”

"Convinced?" He Zhizhang sneered, "What do you believe? Do you believe you said you'd be home before eight o'clock, or did you believe you were engaged to another man behind my back? ”

Before Ji Nanjin could react, she heard a 'ding' sound from the side, the elevator door opened, and someone put away her mobile phone and walked towards her with an angry look.
