(18) Opening Ceremony

Approaching the evening, Zhao Zongli brought a few maids to the presidential suite.

"Miss Lin, I'm President James's secretary - Zhao Zongli."

Yuhan nodded slightly. Zhao Zongli used to go to the old mansion every day to pick up James from work, and Yuhan saw him open the door for James on the terrace on the second floor a few times, but this was the first time he officially said hello. Zhao Zongli was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, handsome and cold-looking, with a concise and neat expression, and a serious expression when he spoke, and he didn't look very close.

"All the gowns and jewelry you're going to wear to the opening party today are ready, they'll help you get dressed, and the president will pick you up at five o'clock. In addition, the kitchen of the old house has been renovated, and you can go back to the house tonight. ”

Before Yuhan could answer, he turned his head sideways and said to the maid behind him, "You help Miss Lin dress up, and everything must be sorted out within an hour." After speaking, Xiang Yuhan nodded and turned around and went out.

Lin Yuhan wanted to greet him cordially, but he didn't expect Secretary Zhao to speak concisely and neatly, and he had a kind of hardness to reject people thousands of miles away, which was better than James, this is really a perfect match for the master and servant.

Lin Yuhan was dressed up by several maids, and when he came out of the inner bedroom, James was already waiting in the living room, he was standing in the center of the living room in a black gold silk suit, with a slender and straight posture and an elegant and dignified temperament, no wonder so many celebrities and ladies flocked to him. The screen door slowly opened, Yuhan was dressed in a pink fluffy gauze dress, her jet-black hair was raised high and decorated with a little jasmine, her eyebrows were as light as autumn water, and her jade skin accompanied by the breeze, slowly moving in front of James like a fairy.

Lin Yuhan in front of him made James's heart shock, it was not the beauty of vulgar powder, but the fresh and refined Yanran, and this was even more exciting.

James coughed lightly to calm his heart's throbbing, then said, "Ready?" Let's go. ”

Yuhan was a little embarrassed, "Am I dressed up too grandly?" ”

James smiled charmingly, "No, today you are the protagonist." With that, he took her hand and walked out.

George & Company's new office building was decorated with colorful lights, a concierge team lined up on both sides of the gate to welcome guests, and a huge red banner hung above the gate, "Congratulations on the opening of the British Empire George & Company's China Region - and the inauguration of the office building".

Before Zhao Zongli's car stopped, the band played a cheerful welcome song. The door was opened, a crowd gathered around, and the glare of magnesium lights "snapped" open. Yuhan was taken aback, seeing that this situation became more and more cramped and nervous, and he was at a loss. James got out of the car first, then turned around and took Lin Yuhan's hand, and whispered, "It's okay, you just follow me." ”

They got out of the car, and James put Yuhan's trembling hand into the crook of his arm, let her hold his arm, and then smiled encouragingly at her, and they stepped onto the red carpet into the hall surrounded by the crowd.

Goose-yellow marble walls and crystal lamps sparkle and the hall resembles a royal palace, with a standing ovation.

A circular platform was erected at one end of the hall, and James took Yuhan all the way to the stage, and the applause of the crowd rang out for a while before it gradually quieted down. James stepped forward to the microphone and began to speak.

Yuhan didn't listen to what James said at all, she stood beside him, feeling the gaze projected by countless eyes in the audience, some inquiring, some appreciating, some jealous, some coveting...... This feeling of being in the spotlight made her feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, he didn't speak for a long time, and soon the audience applauded thunderously, and James took Yuhan off the stage again, and she was a little relieved.

The two walked to the center of the hall, James suddenly turned around and hugged Yuhan's slender waist, leaned closer, and whispered in her ear: "Waltz, will you jump?" ”

The breath blew softly in his ears, his waist was clamped by him, and his hands were held tightly by him, and this sudden close contact made Lin Yuhan's brain blank, and he froze there unable to answer.

The melodious dance music had already sounded, and James continued: "No, it doesn't matter, relax your body and don't be so stiff, dance with me, and step back with your right foot first." ”

Yuhan was dragged and danced by James like this.

I have to admit that James is a good dance partner, he takes Yuhan very well, and gives physical hints in advance for every step. Yuhan stumbled a few steps at first, and then got up freely, dragged around by him, turning around for a while and lowering his waist for a while, with a fluttering skirt, as if he was a good dancer. After the song, everyone applauded and cheered, Yuhan was still in a dream, and he couldn't believe that he had danced with him just now.

James took Yuhan's hand and bowed to everyone with a smile, and took the opportunity to whisper in her ear: "The first jump is considered a good performance, and it would be better to be careful not to step on my feet all the time next time." Yuhan's cheeks were slightly red.

James talked to a few bosses, Yuhan was idle, and just wanted to find a corner to rest, several wives surrounded him.

"What is this young lady called?"

"My surname is Lin, Lin Yuhan." Yuhan nodded politely.

"Miss Lin is so beautiful!"

"Yes, yes, the most dazzling thing at today's party is Miss Lin!"

"The color of the diamonds on Miss Lin's chain is really good, and it matches Miss Lin's temperament."

"Mr. James is really good to Miss Lin."

"Yes, Miss Lin is so blessed."

"Miss Lin is so beautiful and noble, no wonder Mr. James is fascinated by Miss Lin."

Lin Yuhan was surrounded by them, and you and I couldn't finish talking about it.

"I ...... I...... I'm sorry I missed me. Yuhan escaped from the encirclement.

She sat down in an inconspicuous position and breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly became the focus of attention around James, she was very unaccustomed to being noticed like this, and began to miss the time when no one paid attention to her before, although she was bored, but at least she could stay quietly for a while. She suddenly thought of Yang Tianqi, raised her eyes and looked around and didn't find him, but saw Lin Daxun hurriedly walking towards her with a glass of wine, his mouth smiling from ear to ear.

"Yuhan, you have done a good job, I am really happy for you for my father. The fact that Mr. James can take you to such an important occasion shows that he values you very much. You have to behave well, our family will rely on you in the future, and see who dares to underestimate us. ”

Lin Daxun's face was red and he waved his arms excitedly, for fear that others would not see their father and daughter.

Yuhan felt even more embarrassed when she saw that many people were paying attention to them, and said lightly, "How is Mom's health?" ”

Lin Daxun was still immersed in his excitement, and was stunned for a moment by Yuhan's question, and then said: "Your mother is still like that, she is all old and sick." However, don't worry, I will ask the best doctor in Shanghai to see her, and ask the best nurse to take care of her. ”

Lin Yuhan sighed slightly, which was diametrically opposed to Lin Daxun's excitement, "I'm not by her side, you have to spend more time with her." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Lin Daxun continued to say excitedly, "If your mother knew that you are so beautiful now, she would definitely be happy for you." ”

Yuhan revealed a helpless look on her face, she didn't want to argue with him anymore, although she had a trace of resentment towards her father in her heart, but after all, she was father and daughter, and the matter had come to this, what else could she do?

She turned her face and didn't want to talk to her father anymore, and raised her eyes to see Yang Shuhua standing on the edge of the dance floor. She was obviously dressed up carefully today, the focus of every dance, but this time she didn't dance on the dance floor, her eyes had been following James, but her eyes had lost their brilliance, and she had lost her usual arrogant and cold momentum. Her gaze at James suddenly turned to Lin Yuhan, and when she found that Yuhan was also looking at her, she lowered her gaze and turned around and drowned in the crowd.
