Chapter 12: The Banquet
Silver Maple Hotel - a total of 36 floors, 118 meters high, covers an area of ......
It took half an hour from the central hospital to arrive at the richest commercial area in the transportation area. In front of the Silver Maple Hotel, there is an empty piece of land used to make a parking space, and the cars parked in the parking space are all expensive luxury cars, and the minimum starting price is 5 million 'Youli' long cars.
And everywhere there is a place where every inch of land is valuable, and there are some groups of rich people standing outside, men, women and children, fat and thin, tall and short, all of them are gorgeous evening dresses, suits, skirts, thick gold necklaces worn by many middle-aged men, and golden rings on their hands.
There are those who are waiting for people, there are those who are related to each other, and there are those who are doing obscure things......
After the long car was parked in the corner, the driver led the remaining three to the top floor of the hotel banquet. Ji Ren's looking around made some of them notice, and after a glance, he knew that this was a turtle, but he never expected that the girl next to him was the best. In their eyes, although Nangong Huang'er is dressed simply, she has a little weak and innocent appearance in her delicateness, which is really an irresistible temptation.
As soon as he reached the door, a dead fat man with an extremely obscene appearance and a golden object all over his body came over, and a scantily dressed woman was still in his arms, and was being played with like a slave toy. With a smile, he stretched out his hand to stop the driver and said, "Hello, my friend, are you also coming to tonight's 'carrier' banquet?" ”
Uncle Chen looked at his nose and his nose, his nose looked at his heart, as if he didn't know anything, and looked at the chandelier above.
Nangong Huang'er frowned subconsciously, and hid behind Uncle Chen very uncomfortably.
Ji Ren frowned in disgust, and his footsteps moved lightly to cover Nangong Huang'er's figure.
The driver looked like he was talking to the fat man......
The obscene fat man pushed the driver away as he spoke, walked over slowly, stared at Nangong Huang'er inch by inch, and said with a lewd smile: "Hello, my beauty, you are really gorgeous tonight!" ”
Uncle Chen coughed twice and glanced at Ji Ren, who rolled his eyes and walked head-on. said contemptuously: "Who the hell is a stupid fat man talking, was he hit on the head when he was in his mother's womb, and he is so confused when he speaks, where is there a beauty?" ”
Nangong Huang'er looked at Ji Ren worriedly, and wanted to open his mouth several times to ask him not to contradict others.
Jin Dashan stopped his footsteps, and said with an ugly face: "Boy, don't know how to be polite?" There is no one here who doesn't know my Jin Dashan, kneel down and admit your mistakes, I promise to let you live to see the sun tomorrow, otherwise, die! ”
Ji Ren glanced back at Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen raised his eyebrows, his chin moved, and motioned for Ji Ren to do something. Ji Ren turned his head and thought about it, feeling that Uncle Chen seemed to be telling me to kill him, and then think about it, let's use the kick I am most familiar with.
"Jin Dashan? You're blocking my door! Qian Chengli said in a low tone.
Jin Dashan looked back, and there was a man in a suit and tie standing behind him, with a handsome face and a mature face. The ugly face instantly changed to a smile, "Qian Chengli, you are the landlord at tonight's banquet, why did you run out?" Could it be that the big man is here! Introduce me to ......"
"You just get out of the way, don't stand at the door of the hotel and affect everyone's access, if you have something to say, go out and say, whatever you want." Qian Chengli neither said his intentions, nor did he want to embarrass Jin Dashan and said.
The ones who do business are slippery, sliding around like loaches.
Jin Dashan looked at him with a smile, "Okay, good, give you a face." After speaking, he was about to go inside, stared back at Ji Renyin and said with a smile: "Boy, I can't see you when I go up, I will also find a way to find you, it's best to kneel down in front of me and lick my shoes clean before I go to find you, then, I don't care if you contradict me." ”
Ji Ren tilted his head, thinking about murder and crime, this is not good, as long as nothing can catch me, I will break your third dog leg. Laughing: "You must have been thrown into a manure pit when you were a child, and you were stupid to drink water." ”
Jin Dashan's face instantly turned black like ink, and he said to Ji Ren with a fierce gaze: "No one dares to talk to me like this, you are dead." Then he took the woman beside him to the banquet.
Uncle Chen gave Ji Ren a thumbs up, while Nangong Huang'er looked at Ji Ren worriedly, Ji Ren didn't see anything at all, and walked straight to the hotel lobby......
Qian Chengli said respectfully to Uncle Chen: "Uncle Chen, you are here, and the younger generation is still worried that you don't like these occasions and will not come." ”
Uncle Chen smiled: "I brought two children over to meet, na, the one in front and the one next to me, brought them over to see the world, but one turned out to be more worry-free than the other......"
Qian Chengli didn't know whether Chen Xiaozhong said it deliberately or unintentionally, the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, he weighed it, and said: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, as long as it is within the scope of my Qian family, I will do my best to take care of one or two." ”
I don't know how big the power behind Chen Xiaozhong is, even the Qian family, who is the head snake in Tianhe City, has to treat him respectfully, and because one or two sentences say that it will be convenient for them. However, people who know how to gamble tend to make a big deal with small things, and they will make all the profits opportunistically.
But this kind of family often won't be strong for long, because there will be many people like them, who are pulling them crazy one after another, and as long as they relax, even the magnificent castle will collapse in an instant.
Uncle Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let's go to the banquet first." ”
Qian Chengli nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Chen, and this young lady, please come with me......"
Qian Chengli walked in front to lead the way, and when he passed by Ji Ren's side, Chen Bo beckoned, Nangong Huang'er whispered to him to follow, and Ji Ren was smiling and watching around slowly.
While waiting for the elevator, Ji Ren saw several pairs of men and women walking together, handsome and beautiful, and felt a little novel, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks, but he was stared at, and Chen Bo and Nangong Huang'er secretly laughed next to them.
After everyone entered the elevator, Ji Ren went to scan the clothes they were wearing, all of which were extremely gorgeous evening dresses and suits. The jewelry worn by individual girls is particularly good-looking, and the thumb-sized emerald jade is worn around the neck, which is absolutely extravagant, but it is extremely eye-catching.
With just the right gold necklace, crystal necklace, and silver necklace, he almost didn't dazzle him.
"Ding"
The elevator arrived.
Terrace garden on the top floor of the hotel.
As soon as he walked out, Ji Ren saw about 200 people talking, smiling and pushing cups and changing lamps, and there were sofas placed around for people to sit, but basically no one was sitting. There are three rows of tables on the left and right, where food is served for everyone to taste and pass the time.
Uncle Chen smiled at Qian Chengli and said: "It's hard work, this time we are just here to go through the motions, so we won't disturb your time, let's let you discuss some of your own affairs, lest others say that I came here to interfere with everyone's time." ”
Qian Chengli said respectfully: "Don't disturb, don't bother." Since this is the case, the juniors will not dare to disobey their orders. If you need anything, just talk to the waiters around you. After saying that, he walked towards the crowd, and a beautiful woman greeted him, and then said a few words to him with a solemn face......
Chen Xiaozhong led the two to the side and sat down, glancing around. He said: "There is food here, if you want to eat anything, you can take it yourself, if you don't want to eat, then I will take what you want to eat." Ji boy, how is it, are you interested in eating? ”
Ji Ren nodded with interest, "Let's go, Uncle Chen, let's go, Huang'er, what do you want to eat?" ”
Nangong Huang'er's face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "Anything is fine, you guys can go quickly." ”
Chen Bo was the first to walk to the table, and Ji Ren followed behind, looking at the rows of snacks and drinks, he didn't know what to eat. Chen Xiaozhong picked two refreshments and a cup of black tea and walked back. Ji Ren also picked two of the same, then took a few dishes casually and put them in his left hand, and walked back to sit with a glass of boiled water.
Ji Ren watched Uncle Chen slowly enjoy this red bean cake, the green mung bean cake was given to Nangong Huang'er, and he gave her the portion he picked, and the rest of the pastry was one by one, and then took a sip of water and swallowed it.
Nangong Huang'er ate in small bites, and when she saw Ji Ren eating in large gulps, she actually wanted to remind Ji Ren to eat slowly, and after thinking about it, it seemed that Ji Ren hadn't eaten for a day, so she didn't plan to remind him.
Many people will look around, where is the person they want to find, and when they see Ji Ren, they are frowning, and they are pleasing to the eye when they see Nangong Huang'er.
"Hiccup~~~"
Ji Ren is full of food, and he can't eat too much at night, so just a few pieces are enough.
"Tsk~ Why are all the people who come to the dance tonight who are not in the stream, it's really annoying!" A contrived voice reached Ji Ren's ears, and next to him, a good-looking girl with mean writing on her face was confiding in a tall and thin man.
Wu Bishen coaxed: "Good job! We're here tonight to talk about business, not to compare ourselves with others, you know? Uh-huh! After saying that, he kissed one in front of everyone before going to the other side.
Ji Ren wiped his mouth with his hand, was seen by Nangong Huang'er, put down the fork in his hand, reached out and took out a tissue in his small bag and gave it to him, and said, "Ji Ren, I have a tissue here, you can take it and wipe it!" ”
"Thank you, Huang'er, you said that the people here, like those two dogs just now, how many did you say there would be?" Ji Ren took the tissue and asked as he wiped his hands.
No one is surprised! It's too true, and it's also very helpless!
Nangong Huang'er thought about it seriously and said roughly: "There may be a few, but there should be very few!" ”
"Hmm...... That's okay, although I won't say that I'm not used to it, but here, I always feel that there are a lot of picky people who want to be in the limelight, Uncle Chen, what should I do? Ji Ren pondered.
Uncle Chen took a sip of black tea and said seriously: "Beat, beat like a dog, and you will be honest." ”
Ji Ren clapped his hands and suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" The problem is that I can't fight, everyone is so rich that they can make ghosts grind, and I don't dare to fight, Uncle Chen, what should I do? ”
Nangong Huang'er can see that this guy is an out-and-out troublemaker, he is not afraid of heaven and earth at all, saying so much, it turns out that he wants to get Uncle Chen's promise and let him fight with confidence. If this is the case, sooner or later he will be retaliated against, frowning helplessly, and worried: "Ji Ren, just ignore them, don't fight, they will retaliate and will seek revenge on you." ”
Uncle Chen knew that she was very soft-hearted, so many things needed him to do secretly, and he couldn't let her know, otherwise, she would definitely persuade her. However, now that there is a guy who can make trouble, I don't need to be sorry for myself, so it can really play a tempering role.
Nodding secretly at Ji Ren, he said don't worry, I'll block the threat.
Ji Ren looked at the two of them, understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "Huang'er, don't worry about this, as long as they don't come to provoke you, I won't care about them." After all, I'm going to protect you, right? ”
Nangong Huang'er felt right, after all, he wanted to protect himself, but he couldn't conclude that he would really stand up as always just by standing up once. When I thought of this, I frowned, and my heart was very overwhelmed, I couldn't rely on others, but I had to rely on others......
Ji Ren looked at her with a sad expression, and he probably didn't know what he was thinking. Originally, it was none of his business, but he looked left and right, and he was bored, so he sat down next to Nangong Huang'er, stared at her with his head bowed and bent over, and looked at each other. Nangong Huang'er was suddenly pierced into his heart by his gaze, and instantly became so nervous that his cheeks were hot, and he pushed Ji Ren's head away violently.
"What are you doing?" Nangong Huang'er asked softly.
"No, Uncle Chen said, you have to see more beauties! It's better to go back with a beautiful woman, but, I look at it, there is no good-looking one, and you can make do with it, so I'll look at you. ”
Ji Ren said to Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen rolled his eyes and moved to the other side to sit.
Nangong Huang'er gave him a roll of his eyes, but he was wondering if he was praising himself......
Inadvertently, Ji Ren saw another style of her, and he felt a little unable to sit still beside her. I wonder if she's really good-looking, and she doesn't seem to have any......
The two of them didn't know what to say for a while, so they had to ...... separately
As soon as the background music of the banquet stopped, a person could be faintly heard talking, and after a while, the music sounded again, Western classical music, many men and women were looking for their own dance partners, and the stage was composed of two people in the center. Only a handful of people don't dance or can't find a partner.
A young man dangling around had his eyes lit up, walked straight to Nangong Huang'er, stretched out his hand and invited, "Hello, can I invite you to dance together?" ”
Nangong Huang'er glanced at the man in surprise, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to accept it......
"Let's go, you see everyone is almost done dancing." Ji Ren quickly grabbed her right hand, not giving her a chance to break free.
Nangong Huang'er sighed.
Ji Ren sighed, "Ah, what, let's go, I just said I was going to dance......"
Nangong Huang'er glanced back at Uncle Chen, but Uncle Chen didn't even move, as if he hadn't heard anything. Ji Ren forcibly pulled her to the other side......
Li Qing was instantly dumbfounded, watching the two of them walk farther and farther, so he had to raise his glasses and smile bitterly and wander around again.
Nangong Huang'er lowered her head and was held by a boy for the first time. I thought that his palm was so strong, and it hurt me. It turned out that his palms were so warm, is this why Uncle Chen deliberately didn't speak?!
"Are we really going to dance?" Nangong Huang'er asked.
"No, let's go and walk around, it's so big here, it's over when you come back after a walk." Ji Ren said without thinking.
"Why? Everybody's dancing, isn't it nice for us to go around like this? Nangong Huang'er asked puzzled.
Ji Ren stopped, his left hand helplessly rested on Nangong Huang'er's shoulder, smelling the faint fragrance, thinking about the feeling of holding her, it really made people not want to let go. Casually said, "Because, I can't dance." It seems like that, but actually, I'm not interested in that, and I just need to learn it again. If you don't go shopping, will you sit there stupidly? What if, I mean, just in case! You were taken to dance by someone else, I can't guarantee your safety, no way, I really won't protect others. ”
Nangong Huang'er felt weird when he was put on his shoulder like this, and she wanted to take his hand away.
However, when I heard him say this, I felt that it was the same thing, and everything he did was to protect me. Although he made it clear to himself that he would not protect others, her instincts told him that he would protect her.
Looking up at him, he felt that he was too close, and lowered his head again and said, "Ji Ren, you will protect me, right?" ”
Ji Ren held his head in his hands, looked at the stars at night and said, "I will try my best, but if I do anything excessive, don't worry too much, I don't have much experience." So, I will try to refuse to allow others to touch you, and when the time comes, I hope you can stand by and not interfere. Just once, it's enough for me to be afraid......"
Nangong Huang'er didn't have too many ideas, it was enough to know that he would protect himself well.
Two sixteen-year-old guys, one is delicate and elegant, but the other is calm and calm, but he has a young face, just like two little children who don't guess......
