Chapter 34: The Cocktail Party
No matter how bright the starry sky is, it can't compare to the brilliant lights of the city in people's hearts. Among the many high-rise buildings in Jingcheng, the building of Jingjiang Hotel is particularly eye-catching.
A grand and luxurious cocktail party is being held here, hosted by the Carpetta Group, one of the top 100 enterprises in the country, and all kinds of giants in the business and political circles are present.
The spacious banquet hall is full of flowers, embroidered silk stalls, exquisite silver tableware, and brilliant glass domes, all revealing a graceful and luxurious atmosphere. A band played elegant classical music in one of the ballrooms, and people in fancy clothes laughed and clinked glasses. Not to mention those imposing men and well-dressed beauties, even the waiters present all reveal a little noble celebrity temperament.
When Jing Tingyao and Qi Wanran appeared at the venue, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
Qi Wanran was wearing a black floor-sweeping evening dress, revealing a large area of skin behind her back, which was extremely sexy. The long dark brown curls are finely groomed and every trace of the curl is perfect. A pair of peach blossom eyes were sparkled by the waves, and a smile and a smile were all hooked.
Jing Tingyao is still in the same black suit as usual, with a decent cut and meticulous tie, with a breath of "no one is allowed to enter".
"Who is this woman?" Someone whispered.
"Mrs. President, I went to the wedding when the prospect was less, and this is the one next to me." The other replied.
Qi Wanran was calm on the surface, but he was actually panicked.
Can anyone tell her what to do now? Why is everyone looking at her? Do you want her to wave at those people?
"The party will last for three hours, and you must be hungry for this rice bucket, so it's better to eat something first." Jing Tingyao tilted his head and whispered a reminder close to her ear.
Qi Wanran: "......"
This person is definitely deliberate, and he can't hear when he speaks normally, so what do you have to do so close?
She gently hooked the corner of her lips, but her mouth said: "You are only a rice bucket!" ”
The crowd around them, who didn't know the truth, also gasped, and whispered that the relationship between the two was really good.
Qi Wanran rolled his eyes in his heart.
The appearance of the two caused a brief discussion, but it didn't last long, the novelty passed, and everyone went to their own social relationships again.
Similar to what is shown on TV, half of the drinks of this nature are for business. How could such a large group as the Jing clan escape the eyes of others?
In just twenty minutes, there were already three people who had come to talk to Jing Tingyao. Qi Wanran couldn't understand the content of their chat, so he could only stand next to him with a glass of champagne in the background, his face stiffened.
Someone wouldn't let her get drunk, otherwise the rent would triple the rent.
Qi Wan, an unemployed vagrant, was choked by the throat of fate, and could only sigh in his heart that it was unfair for people to use knives and fish for me.
Finally, this Mr. Zhang is gone. Qi Wanran immediately collected his expression and rubbed his sore cheeks.
"Mr. Jing, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm." Fu Zhishan took her female companion, the secretary Qianqian, and walked in the direction of the two.
I have to say that Fu Zhishan is still quite capable of bluffing, with warm facial features, a natural pair of smiling lips, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looks like a dog. But after knowing what kind of bad embryo Fu Zhishan was, Qi Wanran only felt that he was hypocritical and disgusting when he looked at this person again.
"I didn't expect Mr. Fu to be invited, what a surprise." Jing Tingyao said with a smile.
The subtext is that Fu Zhishan's qualifications are not enough to be counted in the same circle as him, and he is not qualified to be invited here.
Fu Zhishan's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Qi Wanran turned his face away and sneered. It seems that Jing Tingyao's words are not listened to all the time.
If he can't break ground on Jing Tingyao's head, can he still dare to target Qi Wanran? Fu Zhishan looked the woman in front of him up and down, and said mockingly: "Qi Wanran, your luck is still good." I didn't feel anything famous under my hands, but I turned around and fell in love with a rich man. ”
Jing Tingyao's eyes darkened a little, and Qi Wanran also smiled.
But it is undeniable that the influence of the environment in which a person grows up is indelible. Children raised by ordinary working-class families always have a sour air of poverty on their bodies, even if they are glamorous and beautiful in appearance, their temperament will not change. Fu Zhishan took a sip of champagne gently, with undisguised banter in his eyes, "Otherwise, how can you say that the temperament of the nouveau riche and the real family is different?" It's all the same thing. ”
Among the more than 100 people present, I am afraid that he is the only one who dares to say these words in front of Jing Tingyao.
Speaking of which, Fu Zhishan's words changed, "At the beginning, I thought that Jing Shao was just playing with her, but I didn't expect your taste to be so unique, and you really got involved with Qi Wanran." ”
Qianqian, who was standing on the side, covered her mouth and chuckled.
If Jing Tingyao was just unhappy just now, it can be said that a storm is brewing in his eyes at this moment.
It's just that before Jing Tingyao could react, Qi Wanran took the lead in speaking, "Yes, a person like me is indeed ordinary, not as good as the eldest lady from a wealthy family, but I am not inferior to this." ”
Qi Wanran said without humility or arrogance: "So far, everything I have has been obtained by myself, and I have not taken any shortcuts, unlike Mr. Fu, who relied on inheriting the family business, but did not let the company have the slightest development, in the final analysis, you are just gnawing at the old capital." ”
"It's better to look through your brain before you speak, and see who you're talking to?!" It was the first time that Fu Zhishan was ridiculed, and he almost crushed the goblet in his hand.
Qi Wanran continued as if he hadn't heard it: "To a certain extent, if there is no working-class like us, then Mr. Fu's so-called superiority will not exist. ”
Jing Tingyao's face softened slightly.
It seems that this guy is not always passively scolded, at least now he can refute the other party. In this case, he doesn't have to make a move, and he has full authority to use Fu Zhishan to practice oral and tongue kung fu for someone.
"I do remember something." Qi Wanran squinted at each other, "Mr. Fu's ex-girlfriend Aili is very good-looking, and she is a celebrity, so it's also very interesting to treat Mr. Fu as a spare tire." You see, you treat her as the only one, and people only see you as a fish in the sea. ”
"It turns out that even if you are as shrewd as you, you are only so discerning." Qi Wanran looked at Fu Zhishan with a smile and asked.
After saying this, Fu Zhishan was so angry that the corners of his forehead jumped suddenly, he took a deep breath, and listened patiently to Qi Wanran's words.
