Chapter 194: Familiarity

After the host took the stage, a warm-up opening speech was completed, that is, the government representative Mayor Shen came to the stage to deliver a speech, the general content of which was to thank Ji's Group for its contributions and the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Ji's Group.

Mayor Shen came here temporarily because he had a meeting in the government, and it was not for long, so he had to leave after his speech.

Although Mayor Shen is middle-aged, he is still handsome, meticulous in his dress and hairstyle. It can be seen from Shen Yiqian and Shen Runqian that Mayor Shen was definitely very handsome when he was young.

Although Ji Zhiyi doesn't like Shen Yiqian, he still likes Mayor Shen, who has always been very upright, and he applauded while sighing in his heart, fortunately, Shen Yiqian didn't come today. Seeing her soft and weak look, he didn't like it, and he pretended to be this woman too much.

At the end of the speech, Director Ji came to the stage, and he shook hands with Mayor Shen, who was about to get off the stage, with a smile, before stepping onto the podium. His eyes glanced at Ji Zhiyi, who was sitting obediently below, and a smile seemed to flash on his face, before he began to speak.

The content of the manuscript is nothing more than to thank everyone who came to participate, summarize the development process of Ji's Group in the past ten years, they will build Ji's Group better, and the next development direction of Ji's Group.

Ji Zhiyi listened a little absent-mindedly, and deliberately made a look of being a hanger, with an expression on his face full of not wanting to listen.

Old Man Mu, who was sitting next to him, noticed his impatience and joked a little: "Why, your father won't let you speak on stage, are you angry?" ”

Ji Zhiyi knew Old Man Mu when he was very young, and Old Man Mu can be said to have watched him grow up, so he didn't need to hide it in front of him, and said: "No, I don't want to go up and talk about it, but I think Old Man Ji's speech is too fake, and I can't listen to it anymore." ”

Old Man Mu looked at his awkward appearance, a little unbearable, he knew that Ji Zhiyi had always been reluctant to inherit the Ji Group, but considering the self-esteem of taking care of the child, he still chose to smile and not speak.

Mu Ling'er watched Old Man Mu and Ji Zhiyi talk in the back row, her eyes were full of unwillingness, this is her grandfather, who is kind to everyone, but she, her own granddaughter, still needs to always have a smiling face to please him.

Director Ji on the stage finally finished his words, put away the manuscript in his hand, paused for two seconds, did not speak, the guests in the audience were a little curious about what he wanted to do, all eyes were fixed on him, only Qiao Airuo on the side of the stage looked calm.

Finally, Director Ji spoke again, with a sad expression on his face: "This year is the 40th anniversary of the Ji Group, I am fifty-eight years old this year, at the age of 23, I took over the then dying Ji Group from my father, I lost my mother when I was very young, and my father also completely left this world when I was 23 years old.

Everyone in the audience was very quiet and didn't make a sound, they all knew how hard Director Ji had worked for so many years, supporting a family alone.

Director Ji continued: "It was my wife whom I met when I was a child, she did not dislike me as a middle-of-the-road boy, married me, supported the company with me, and gave birth to a child for me, but because she has not been in good health, and always works with me, in the end, the disease took her away, just when our child was only 6 years old. ”

When he said this, he looked at Ji Zhiyi in the audience, and Old Man Mu followed the line of sight, but the media did not point the camera at Ji Zhiyi according to Director Ji's arrangement.

Ji Zhiyi looked at him, there was no emotion in his eyes, this child who has always had something to say and had no heart and lungs, it was the first time he was so deep, and he was actually to his father.

Qiao Airuo on the side of the stage knew that Ji Zhiyi was pretending to be strong.

Director Ji's gaze only stayed on his face for a few seconds, then he looked away and looked at the people in the audience and continued: "In order to live up to my wife's hard work, I recovered from my grief and devoted myself to my work, but I made a very serious mistake, I neglected our children, and by the time I want to redeem it now, it is a little late. ”

Director Ji had a helpless smile on his face, and then said, "I don't ask for his forgiveness, I just want to say here that I'm sorry." ”

He lowered his head and made an apology, and the white hair on his head made people feel very sorry for this old man who was close to sixty years old.

Fan Vera turned his head to look at Ji Zhiyi, his face was expressionless, but his hands were a little shaky, but they completely betrayed his heart.

Director Ji raised his head, only to hear him continue: "Today, I want to announce here that in the name of my wife and children, I have established the "Meizhi" Charity Foundation, and transferred 5% of the annual income of Ji's Group to this foundation to care for left-behind children, which can be regarded as making up for my guilt. ”

There was thunderous applause below, Director Ji bowed to the guests below in the applause, Ji Zhiyi sat in place, watched Director Ji bow, and then walked off the stage.

Old Man Mu applauded, secretly observing Ji Zhiyi's reaction, and sighed a little in his heart, he and Director Ji have known each other for many years, and they appreciate the man who is a generation younger than him.

But I also feel very sympathetic to the relationship between Director Ji and his own child Ji Zhiyi, and I feel very sorry for Ji Zhiyi, the relationship between their father and son cannot be blamed on Director Ji, let alone Ji Zhiyi, Ji Zhiyi has been so young, but when he was six years old, he was often put at home, taken care of by servants and bodyguards, without a father and mother, and even without grandparents and care.

And his grandparents are not in China, and he is unwilling to go to live in his grandparents' house, he has always grown up alone, so he has a bad relationship with Director Ji.

The scene was quiet for half a minute, Qiao Airuo came to the stage with a smile, the smile on her face was very decent, like Director Ji, when she stood on the podium, she first glanced at Ji Zhiyi, and saw him sitting in place, a little distressed, but his face did not show it.

Anyway, there are countless cameras that are about to slap her face now, and she can't lose her temper.

Mu Ling'er looked at her with a serious look, and only felt that this woman was really pretending, why could she Qiao Airuo come to the stage to speak, but she was just a lackey under QK, and her eyes were full of jealousy.

She completely ignores Joa's identity, which is one of the founders of QK and not anyone's subordinate.

In her poisonous eyes, Qiao Airuo spoke: "Hello everyone, I am Qiao Airuo of QK Group. ”

Thunderous applause rang out below, and someone even shouted, "Mr. Qiao!" "The atmosphere at the scene was very good, which shows the popularity of Joe Airuo.

Qiao Airuo smiled with a little shy expression on her face, which made the men in the audience, especially the young men, feel excited, she smiled and said: "It is an honor to speak on the stage as a guest representative, Director Ji's speech just now, I was also very moved by an outsider, I also lost my parents when I was very young, but I always love them." ”

"I know that Director Ji's son may have a little misunderstanding with Director Ji, but I believe that he has always loved and directors, after all, how happy he is, and his father loves him."

Ji Zhiyi's gaze was on the same as Qiao Airuo's, and when he saw the smile in her eyes, he didn't dare to look directly and moved away instantly.

The expression on Qiao Airuo's face did not change at all, it was still the official smile, and she continued to finish her speech, she was wearing a suitable and expensive dress wrapped around her bumpy figure, her expression was not unruly, but it made people feel powerful for no reason.

Although she also brought the manuscript to the stage, she basically didn't read it a few times, and she always looked at the guests in the audience with a smile, speaking at a moderate pace, tepid, generous and calm, many people who saw her for the first time said that this Qiao Ai Ruo is not simple, and it really deserves its reputation.

Old Man Mu nodded again and again, watching Qiao Airuo's speech, the smile on his face was very satisfied, as if he was looking at the successor he had cultivated for many years, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he had no intention of coming down.

Indeed, Old Man Mu was thinking in his mind at the moment, if Qiao Airuo was willing, he would really want her to be Mu's manager, this girl was really good.

If this idea was known by the old housekeeper, he would definitely be speechless with surprise, you know, Old Man Mu is notoriously suspicious and thoughtful, and now he has the idea to hand over the company to a young woman who is not very familiar.

And Old Man Mu looked at this scene on the stage with a kind smile, and it completely fell in Mu Ling'er's eyes, it was extremely dazzling, and the resentment in her eyes was even stronger, sitting beside her Jiang Yun felt her obvious mood swings, looked at her line of sight, and instantly understood what her daughter meant, she turned her head sideways and whispered comfortingly: "Ling'er, no matter how good she is, she is not your grandfather's own granddaughter, don't worry." ”

Mu Ling'er felt Jiang Yun holding her hand, and her mood stabilized a little, but the resentment in her eyes was still extremely obvious, after today's incident, she completely lost confidence in Old Man Mu, since Old Man Mu didn't like her so much, then she would definitely make Old Man Mu regret it.

Mu Heng on the side didn't notice the small movements of his wife and daughter, his attention was completely on Qiao Airuo on the stage, Qiao Airuo was still speaking with a decent smile, but he didn't know why, he obviously hadn't seen Qiao Airuo, but he felt a little familiar inexplicably.

Especially her eyes, as long as she smiled, it made him feel more familiar, and ...... A hint of fear.

Obviously, that smile is very bright, but it just makes him feel cold on his back, and he can't sit still, who is this woman?
