Chapter 29: The Reception
It's always easy to pass the quiet days, especially in the city, where you are always on the go, day after day, year after year, never ending.
On the evening of the 24th day of the lunar month, the company held a year-end cocktail party as scheduled, and all colleagues were invited.
I listened to Ling Kai's words, and deliberately dressed very plainly, and lightly applied fat powder, so I couldn't tell that I was going to participate in the drinking party.
Walking among the jeweled, fashionable and generous female colleagues, my outfit simply affected the city's appearance, so I simply found a sofa in the corner and read a book on my mobile phone alone.
"Sister Yun, you are hiding here alone, I said that I didn't see anyone for a long time," Xiao Ai searched for me from the crowd and ran over to pick up the homework.
She deliberately wore a low-cut evening dress today, and the purple backless long skirt lined her fair complexion and slender figure, which was also eye-catching.
I saw that she even took off her glasses and replaced them with invisible ones, and her hair was deliberately dyed and straightened into a line, which looked pure and bright, and I couldn't help but praise a few words.
Xiao Ai's face was blushing, and she pushed me and said, "Sister Yun will make fun of me, look at you, everyone else is wearing fancy clothes, for fear that you won't be able to attract the attention of the president, you are good, you dress like you usually go to work, it won't be unique, be an outlier, right?" ”
"You're thinking too much, I'm not Cinderella." I smiled, but noticed the disdainful glances cast here and there, it seemed that they were all the same as Xiao Ai said, thinking that I was deliberately dressed plainly to show my difference, which was really sad.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and someone walked in, and countless gasps suddenly sounded all around, mixed with the exclamations of women, which attracted my attention.
Turning my head, I saw Chu Junxi and Ling Kai walking side by side, two excellent men talking in a whisper while walking, with elegant temperament and calm demeanor, no wonder it became the most beautiful landscape.
Ling Kai wore a dark purple plaid suit today, still straight and slender, striding meteors.
Chu Junxi beside him was still wearing the dark blue striped suit, and his clothes were sprinkled with silver glitter, which looked very expensive.
The two of them, one is righteous and masculine, the other is silent and cold, but there is a stark contrast. But I have to say that these two men can be called the best people in Nancheng, how can they not attract the attention of the audience and become the focus of everyone?
Along the way, most of them were Chu Junxi talking, Ling Kai was listening, nodding from time to time, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, which could be regarded as echoing his remarks.
Seeing that the two of them entered the box in the hall all the way, countless admiring eyes were blocked out of the wide door, and the sound of sighs and discussions filled my ears one after another, I looked thoughtfully at the closed door, remembering the purpose of Ling Kai's visit today.
He had obviously heard me about the fate of the lucky ones at the party, but he was still invited to come, did he want to find out?
Or did he just have to come out of a work relationship to maintain the superficial good relationship between "Rosemoon" and "Zhongtian"?
I couldn't guess his intentions, but it dawned on me that tonight's party was a little unusual.
It didn't take long for the scene to get out of control again, this time the exclamations and the sound of the cold air became more and more intense, I looked over in surprise, and saw a man in a black leather jacket and a tall, gorgeous woman holding arms and stepping in, the bright red carpet could not take away the charm of the two in the slightest, and the light projected by the huge crystal lamp shrouded the two of them, which was indescribably perfect and matched.
Different from Chu Junxi's masculinity and Ling Kai's coldness, this man looks a little flamboyant, a little evil, the corners of his lips are slightly hooked, and he always has an expression that seems to be smiling but not smiling, especially his black eyes, which are full of light and full of dangerous aura, which makes people feel cold for no reason, and they dare not approach easily.
I didn't know him, but I recognized the woman next to him.
is tall and tall, and if a pair of peach blossom eyes can pinch out water, it is actually the long-haired beauty Li Hongxun who met in the hot pot restaurant that day.
"Wow, it's so handsome, it's really fascinating." Beside me, there was the voice of Xiao Ai's nymphomania, and I couldn't help but ask her, "Who is this person?" It doesn't seem to be someone from our company. ”
"My sister, don't you know Wu Yue, a popular figure in Nancheng and even in China? Our company also has his shares, and he is a major shareholder, but he rarely shows up. ”
Xiao Ai's answer made me suddenly realize, in fact, I knew that Wu Yue would participate in this drinking party, but I didn't expect him to be so young and so charming, I thought that others would call him Lao Wu, at least a man over fifty, but I didn't expect it to be about the same age as Chu Junxi and Ling Kai, and he looked like he was only in his thirties.
Tonight's cocktail party looks very rewarding, because of Wu Yue's appearance, because of Li Hongxun and his acquaintance.
At first, I was just observing Li Hongxun, wondering if she had any purpose in approaching me, but she never looked at me from beginning to end, nor did she come close to me, as if she had never seen me, which dispelled many of my suspicions.
An hour later, the cocktail party officially began, after the emcee came to the stage, the lights dimmed suddenly, we passively followed the flow of people to the rostrum, and listened carefully to the opening remarks of the emcee, which was nothing more than a summary of this year's achievements on behalf of the "Rosemoon Group", looking forward to the future plan, and then the waiter pushed the tower car piled up with wine glasses, Chu Junxi and his partner Ling Kai opened the champagne together, pouring the tower car.
There was a bang, the colored paper fell, the lights restarted, the hall returned to light, everyone stepped forward to take wine, and the atmosphere was warm and extraordinary.
I am a person who doesn't like to be lively, so I took the wine and walked away, still sitting on the sofa in the corner, silently looking at the wine-scented sideburns, flashy and noisy, among the weaving crowds, only Ling Kai and Wu Yue were missing, and I didn't know if I was haunted by beautiful women.
Thinking of Ling Kai's incomprehensible character, if a beautiful woman is on his side, he is as silent as gold, presumably no matter how tender a woman is, he will be extinguished by his enthusiasm, and he will evacuate obediently.
I was so excited that I couldn't help but laugh.
Someone immediately asked me, "What does a person want to be so happy?" ”
A red shadow flashed in the corner of his eyes, and Li Hongxun sat next to me with champagne and asked with a deep smile.
I looked at the crimson wrap skirt that was the only thing left after she took off her coat, her figure was enviable, and her exposed tight collarbone made people want to swallow saliva when they saw it, it was really a charming stunner.
"It's nothing, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here." I punned on her and stared deeply at her.
She was the same as when she first met, hiding sadness, but her smile remained the same, "yes, I didn't expect you to be an employee of Guiyue either." ”
"What about you? Just Mr. Wu's dance partner? ”
"No, I used to be an employee of Rosemoon as well."
I was a little surprised by her answer, and I couldn't help but ask, "Once upon a time?" How long ago? ”
She lowered her head and looked at the champagne in the glass, and said slowly, "It's been a long, long time, and the moon at that time was not as strong as it is now, but I miss that time very much, and I still miss those people, those old things!" ”
