13. Enter the North City
"So you're going to stay in Beicheng during the holidays?"
In a luxuriously decorated restaurant in Nancheng, Chen Ruowen and others chose a customary private room and ate and chatted around a round table. Because I don't like outsiders, I didn't ask the waiter to guard the table this time.
Hearing Song Yunhui's question, Chen Ruowen hummed casually, and fiddled with the tools in her hand to pick up the crab meat a little irritably.
The king crab in this house is very much liked by Chen Ruowen, but although she loves to eat this thing, she is not good at it, and she used to call the waiter to clean it up, but this time she changed it to herself, but after a few minutes of tossing, her patience was exhausted.
Seeing her angrily slamming the pliers in her hand onto the table, Bai Jinyan shook her head helplessly, and sandwiched the freshly peeled crab meat on her plate into Chen Ruowen's bowl.
"I don't understand, Double Star is a company in the South City, and the entertainment industry in the South City is much stronger than the North City, why did you set the location of the final selection in the North City?" Song Yunhui was very puzzled.
Chen Ruowen was in a much better mood, looked up at Song Yunhui and smiled, and was a little more patient than just now when answering questions.
"After all, Beicheng is the capital of Huaguo, and this time the general election is very large, and Nancheng does not have such a big gymnasium."
ββ¦β¦ What the? What gymnasium? Song Yunhui suddenly asked as if he had broken a piece.
Chen Ruowen: "......"
Man Hao smiled when he saw it, and slapped Song Yunhui on the back of the head as usual.
"Everyone has known each other for so many years, why are you still distracted when you see Sister Wen smiling? I should have gotten used to it for a long time! β
There was a happy laugh at the dinner table, Song Yunhui was a little embarrassed, and Man Hao continued.
"But isn't Nancheng also building a gymnasium? Like the largest one in Beicheng, it can accommodate 100,000 people, and it is also a project contracted by the International Group. β
Chen Ruowen nodded: "Nancheng's will not be completed until the end of next year, and it will be officially put into use the year after next." β
has been chirping and directing Kang Wenbo to peel crabs, Geng Jiaojiao also happily interjected when she heard this.
"I heard that the son of the Group of Nations is super handsome! Although the headquarters of Wanguo moved to Nancheng last year, I haven't seen their son-in-law yet! Do you know anyone else? β
β¦β¦
Song Yunhui coughed lightly twice first, pointing to Kang Wenbo who was sitting next to him, and there was some disapproval in his tone.
"Jiaojiao, when you say this, aren't you afraid that Wenbo will beat you?"
Geng Jiaojiao snorted, but inexplicably grabbed Chen Ruowen's arm.
"He didn't dare to beat me, and Sister Min would protect me, right, Sister Min?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Chen Ruowen pulled her arm out of Geng Jiaojiao's arms, and then pointed to the crab meat that had been piled up into a hill in her bowl.
"Eat quickly."
Geng Jiaojiao noticed the food in her bowl at this time, and then exclaimed, stopped Kang Wenbo's action of peeling the crab, pushed her bowl in front of Chen Ruowen, and looked at her with big eyes.
"I'm peeling it all for you! I know that Sister Min's favorite crab is here, so I didn't eat a bite of so much, and I gave it all to you. β
Geng Jiaojiao, along with another girl who came to see Chen Ruomin, Yi Xiaoice, was originally just a nodding friend in this circle with Chen Ruomin, and about six years ago, at a business party, a malicious trafficker slipped into the frolicking place of their group of little hairy children.
Originally, there was no advantage in the confrontation between the little girls and the traffickers, but Chen Ruowen, who was also a child, stood up and drove the bad guys away in her own way.
Since then, Geng Jiaojiao has been entangled with Chen Ruowen, she likes to revolve around her when she has nothing to do, and even followed her several times to study, if it weren't for the fact that she had a childhood sweetheart and an inseparable fiancΓ©, Chen Ruowen would have wondered if she was in love with herself.
Faced with Geng Jiaojiao's cuteness and flattery and Kang Wenbo's pitiful eyes, Chen Ruowen could only casually eat two bites of Geng Jiaojiao's crab meat that borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and then pushed the rest back in front of her.
Seven people at the dinner table were noisy and laughing, and after the meal, Song Yunhui also proposed to go to his villa to have a party, but Bai Jinyan said that he wanted to go back to brush up the questions, Chen Ruomin wanted to catch the plane tomorrow morning, Yi Xiaoice wanted to make up the English class, Geng Jiaojiao ate too much and became sleepy, Kang Wenbo took on the responsibility of escorting Geng Jiaojiao home, and the party had to end here.
After transferring to another school, she got up early for a month and a half, and Chen Ruowen was so sleepy during the next day's holiday, but fortunately she lived a life of clothes to reach out and eat to open her mouth, so she missed the flight.
As the capital of China, Beicheng is not more prosperous than Nancheng, but as the center of the imperial court, the high-level should pay more attention to the development of Beicheng in all aspects.
This time, Shuangxing was used as the general selection venue, which is located in the center of Beicheng and was jointly built by the Wanguo Group and the Chinese government, which is also the largest stadium in China at this stage - there is no one.
It covers an area of 280,000 square meters and can accommodate 100,000 spectators.
The audition began on October 10, and the 100 players selected from the four-city divisional competition in the southeast, northwest and west gathered in Beicheng on October 20 to pass the finals until November 18.
Under the guise of letting Chen Ruowen get familiar with the competition system from scratch, Chen Liwan also asked his assistant Xiao Zhao to book a ticket for Chen Ruowen and go to Beicheng two days in advance to "recognize people".
"The one wearing a dark blue shirt in front of him is Director Hu of the Beicheng Cultural Department, because he is in Beicheng, his identity is no less than that of other deputy ministerial-level cadres. All the performance and event documents in Beicheng have to be submitted to him for approval, and the one wearing glasses next to him is the deputy director of the Beicheng Information Department, and he is also our key object, so you go and say hello. β
At the private dinner, Chen Liwan introduced the big names present to Chen Ruowen one by one.
Chen Ruowen wore a navy blue dress today, which made her already snow-white complexion even more flawless like the highest grade satin, and at Chen Liwan's request, she also put on some light makeup and made a big wave, covering the childishness on her face that had not completely faded, and she looked even more glamorous.
She wears a diamond necklace designed by an internationally renowned master jeweler around her neck, which was also a treasure at a high-class auction, the only one in the world, worth eight figures, and nothing else.
Seeing that Chen Liwan pointed out two officials from Beicheng to himself, Chen Ruowen secretly pursed her lips, a little unhappy.
"We don't live in Beicheng, why do you know them?"
"Although we are not in Beicheng, there will definitely be no less activities in Beicheng in the future, if you don't go to get acquainted, how will people take care of you in the future?" Chen Liwan patiently explained.
"Isn't there still you! I don't have a familiar face, you just have a familiar face. β
Chen Ruowen was still not very happy, and replied absentmindedly while tasting the red wine in her hand.
"How's that going to work?"
Chen Li shook his head disapprovingly.
"Next year, you will start to officially take over the company, and when you graduate from college, your father will almost retire, if you don't take advantage of the current network to build a good network, what will happen in the future?"
Chen Ruowen's lips opened slightly, as if she was shocked by this sentence.
"What retirement? Didn't you say I didn't start taking over the company until I graduated from college? Why did you give me four years ahead of schedule? β
"You girl doesn't want to think about your father's age, I'll be fifty-five when you graduate from college, and it's time to retire, right?"
Chen Ruowen was speechless for a while, thinking about the little free time he had left, and resigned herself to the important people who Chen Liwan pointed to with a wine glass.
