Chapter 20: Fooled
Shen Jielian had already arrived at the periphery of the central square with Nangong Ming, and everywhere he could see was the flash of the camera and the reflection of the shiny car shell. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"You know, all the people here tonight are celebrities, and many of them are still uninvited." Shen Jielian leaned back on the chair and leisurely looked out the window and talked boastfully. Nangong Ming sat beside him, his palms full of sweat.
"By the way, Jiang Chao reminded me of one thing just now." Shen Jielian said as if he had just remembered, he said, "I'm going to walk the red carpet later." ”
"I ...... Guys? You're the son of a great official, and I'll just walk in quietly through the back door. ”
"I can understand it, the problem is ...... There's no back door there, what's even more troublesome," Shen Jielian approached and said: "The door will open on your side later, directly facing the red carpet, if you don't get out of the car, how can I get out?" ”
Only then did Nangong Ming understand why Shen Jielian insisted on changing positions when he got in the car just now, it turned out that from the beginning, he conspired with Jiang Chao to clean himself up.
"Don't be nervous, do what I tell you, keep smiling, pretend you can't see the dazzling flashlights, keep breathing steadily, and imagine you're a robot, OK?"
"Why didn't you say it earlier...... Nangong Ming sighed and buried his face between his knees, an unprecedented sense of prostration was coming from all directions, if the heavens gave him a chance, he would curse Shen Jielian and all the people involved in this planning.
The central square was brightly lit and bright, and the crowd gathered on both sides of the road square, and the large pedestrian mechs and security guards did their best to maintain order so that the crazy people did not break through the cordon. Countless celebrities and celebrities are gorgeously dressed in flashes and boiling cheers - even in winter, Nangong Ming still sees many artists with open chests and backs - slowly walking across the bright red carpet, occasionally losing no time in stopping and posing, and the flash of the camera immediately came overwhelmingly, flashing Nangong Ming in the car in shock. Helicopters drop beams on people's heads.
"It's been experienced." Shen Jie smiled and said, "Come, follow me, ...... Laughing ......"
The luxury car slowly stopped, and the waiter in a tuxedo who had been waiting next to the car opened the door with one arm and blocked the top edge of the door with the other, so as not to let the people in the car come out and hit their heads.
As the car door opened, cold air poured in, Nangong was trembling, and the flash lights were already flashing, and he was dizzy. This kind of event, reporters are much more excited than the paparazzi who catch scandalous celebrities, and film is no longer worth anything at this time.
Time seems to have slowed down, and the red carpet of just ten meters is usually put at the end of Nangong Ming's climb. His feet were soft on the red carpet, and he didn't know where to put his hands. Obviously, the reporters were puzzled by this unfamiliar face, they wondered why he got out of the car of the mayor's son, they guessed that it might be an emerging artist, so the camera in their hands was not idle at all.
When Shen Jie practiced, the frequency of the flash increased significantly, and the media was more familiar with Shen Jie than Nangong Ming.
Shen Jielian smiled and stayed by the car door for a while, the media seized the opportunity to take pictures, and then he walked towards Nangong Ming. At this time, Nangong Ming was already standing on the red carpet helplessly waiting for someone to save his life, Shen Jie Lian lost no time in saving the scene, and the rest of the journey still seemed so long, and finally the two stepped into the majestic gate of the Galaxy Science and Technology Building, and the building was warm in spring, and Nangong Ming breathed a long sigh of relief.
"You just laughed so much...... I've taught you all for nothing. Shen Jielian said disappointedly.
Nangong Ming's heart is still pounding wildly.
A waiter stepped forward and asked, "Is it Mr. Shen and Mr. Nangong?" ”
Nangong Ming estimated that the waiter received the news that Shen Jielian and himself were coming, and deduced through Shen Jielian's inference that the person standing next to him must be the "Mr. Nangong".
The waiter confirmed his identity and stepped aside to lead the way.
"What? Don't you go to the Great Hall? Shen Jielian asked.
"The second young master explained, reserved a seat for the two, and I will take the two of them directly over, but if the two of you want to go to the auditorium......
"No need, you can ask him when you want to hear your young master's speech." Shen Jielian interrupted him, and the waiter continued to lead the way in front.
[How many young masters are there in Jiang Chao's family? ] Nangong Mingxiang.
"You must never have imagined that Jiang Chao would stand in front of the public and give a speech." Shen Jielian said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Don't look at that guy's usually weak speech, it seems to blush, if he really let him stand on the podium, it will be a different look. In the end, it is a person who wants to inherit the great family business in the future, eloquence is indispensable, he has been trained abroad since he was a child, and he is nicknamed 'Jade Face Qiao Golden Tongue'! I really don't know if he has practiced too much, and he usually doesn't dare to speak. ”
Nangong Ming listened to Shen Jielian's words, and he didn't feel the reality at all.
At this time, a thick bell rang out of nowhere, echoing in the corridor, and the three of them listened attentively.
"It looks like the show is about to start, and at this point, that guy should be making an opening speech."
The waiter led the two into the gleaming elevator and up to the sixth floor, where the doors opened to reveal a red-carpeted corridor with paintings of celebrities on the walls.
[Is this really a company?] Nangong couldn't help but think about it when he looked at the luxurious corridor.
The waiter led the two of them deeper into the hallway, which was empty. As they reached the fork in the hallway, there was a deafening applause from the other side of the hallway.
Shen Jielian walked towards the fork in the corridor, and at the end was a grandstand where the dome of the auditorium could be seen. Nangong Ming walked next to Shen Jielian, looked down, and was immediately glad that he had no fear of heights.
From where they were, they looked down at the extent of the Great Hall, whose dome was still about two stories above them. The auditorium is resplendent with eight Romanesque pillars more than ten meters high, with statues of gods carved out of white marble, serene and dignified, and large frescoes painted on the dome. The most striking thing in the auditorium is the podium of the dragon relief, a large number of auspicious clouds, rare and exotic beasts are carved on the wall, the whole is inclined outward, lifelike, like the ceiling of the podium, inclined but not falling. The overall style combines Chinese and Western, and it creates a peculiar sense of solemnity here, which is magnificent!
The celebrities gathered on the podium below seemed to be just a small dot, and their eyes were all focused on a unique person on the podium. Even if Nangong Ming was so far away, he recognized that person was Jiang Chao at a glance, and he saluted everyone with a smile on his face.
"Alas~ It's a pity that I can't see Mrs. Ma." Shen Jielian shook his head and said, "Poor guy, my parents are not around, and even my grandmother never attends. ”
The waiter led the two into a spacious living room, decorated in the Victorian style, with an entire wall of glass and bright red curtains, and standing in the doorway, you could see the dazzling lights outside, but the sound could not be seen at all. In the middle of the living room was a long antique table, on which was placed a sumptuous meal that Nangong Ming had never seen before.
"Please wait here, the young master will come over soon." The waiter finished speaking and left.
Shen Jielian didn't say a word, picked up the red wine on the table, opened the cork and poured some into the goblet, and when he wanted to pour it for Nangong Ming, Nangong Ming refused.
"You are too regular, you can also drink a drip, red wine can help soften blood vessels!"
Nangong Ming insisted on refusing, and Shen Jielian was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything, and poured himself a drink. Nangong Ming looked at the shiny knife and fork instead of chopsticks, and felt uncomfortable all over his body.
[You look dirty now, right? Nangong Ming thought sadly, sighed, and stood by the bed to look down.
It's a good location, with nothing in sight and the entire central plaza in full view.
The performance was about to start, Nangong Ming saw Jiang Chao ascending to the platform in the center of the square in the midst of all the attention, the lights converged on him, several beautiful hostesses lined up with red belts, Jiang Chao followed a row of suits and leather shoes who looked like big people walked out of the building and walked onto the stage, they were all senior executives of the company, and there were many blonde and blue-eyed foreigners in the large group of reporters behind them.
They walked to the red ribbon with vigorous steps, picked up the gold scissors in front of them, stretched the scissors to the red ribbon, and with the host's order, the scissors collectively cut the red ribbon, officially announcing the start of the performance. The crowd began to cheer and scream.
Without warning, two huge red pillars emerged from the ground on either side of the stage, and the pillars grew taller and taller, like two golden rods, soaring upward, and as they grew, the crowd became more and more reveling.
Nangong Ming watched the pillar grow past the window and go up, he had to look up to continue looking at the rising pillar, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Jielian also looking up at the rising pillar with his mouth open, obviously, it was the first time he had seen such a wonderful scene.
When the pillars were about to grow beyond Nangong Ming's line of sight, they suddenly stopped growing taller, and there was a moment of silence, and everyone was waiting for what would happen next.
