Chapter 179: Celebration Dance
At this year's celebration in Wuzhou, Lu Zhanyan received the news earlier. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
So that night, she came as promised.
The celebration was arranged in a well-known hotel in Hong Kong City, luxurious and showy, because it was not the 50th anniversary of Zhongzheng before, so it was not as grand as it was at that time. It's just the pomp and circumstance of everything, and it's definitely comparable to that of an ordinary small company. This hotel alone is one of the best in the port city.
Enter from the lobby to the celebration hall, where the red carpet stretches all the way.
There is a hostess who says welcome, and there is a sign-in area in front of you.
Today's Lu Zhanyan is very simple to wear.
It's just a white knee-length dress, and the style is a little conventional, not something new and chic. Even the hair is scattered and messed up when I go to work, and when I rub it slightly, it has a fluffy texture and curvature, as if it was specially created, but it is so natural.
She touched up her makeup a little before she came.
It's lightly on the next layer, just the right amount of brightness, and it won't be too much.
Lu Zhanyan knows his identity, and he is not one of those celebrities and ladies, so he doesn't need to be too exaggerated.
It's probably best to be back to your true colors.
Lu Zhanyan held a golden handbag and stepped on a pair of dark gold high heels, and walked on the red carpet like this.
"Miss, please sign in." Miss Manners said.
Lu Zhanyan smiled and took the carbon pen, signed his name on the bronzed paper, and then entered the hall smoothly.
In the palatial hall, the guests have arrived one after another, and at this time it is already full of wind and shadows, champagne and wine. Those beautiful ladies and daughters got together, and those business and political celebrities also got together in twos and threes. In the ancient Roman-style hall, those lights shone brightly, illuminating all this and shining into Lu Zhanyan's eyes.
Today's Lu Zhanyan is no longer the girl who was timid, scared and retreated back then.
In the face of such an occasion, although I don't like it in my heart, I have more or less become accustomed to it these days.
Lu Zhanyan walked quietly in the hall, her eyes shuttled on everyone's faces, and then she saw Tang Renxiu, who was in the center of the hall, surrounded by countless celebrities and celebrities, talking and laughing lightly, a busy scene. She didn't come forward, and she was just the manager of a small company, so it was inconvenient to bother.
So, Lu Zhanyan came to the corner of the hall safely.
"Thank you." I took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, and I was so happy and relaxed.
And Tang Renxiu, who was still talking and laughing with everyone here, was also looking for someone in the crowd, as if he was looking for someone. His gaze, seemingly careless, quickly swept over the figures. Finally, in the corner of the row of floor-to-ceiling windows, I saw the slender white figure.
Coincidentally, Lu Zhanyan also saw him.
Through the air, Tang Renxiu raised his glass to her, while Lu Zhanyan politely replied.
β»β»β»
During the period, representatives of companies who had cooperated recognized Lu Zhanyan and greeted him with a smile, and the two greeted each other.
Then there was a small commotion in the hall, and the representative looked back and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Mr. Song of the Zhou family, look at the two of them, they are really right." β
Lu Zhanyan looked back with a smile, and sure enough, it was Song Wencheng who arrived with Zhou Xilei.
Seeing them again, Lu Zhanyan realized that his heart had become so calm and peaceful at this moment.
One is handsome and upright, and the other is beautiful and moving.
The two stood together in one place, particularly dazzling.
They shook hands with their acquaintances, and a pair of beautiful women slowly wandered down the hall.
In fact, when I came, I expected them to arrive.
The anniversary celebration of Wuzhou Group, with the status of Zhou's now, will definitely come.
But at this moment, Song Wencheng's gaze passed through the crowd and landed precisely on Lu Zhanyan's faintly smiling face.
Just looking at it from a distance, it was a little trance-like, but the next second it was a little light.
Lu Zhanyan saw that he had discovered himself, and responded generously, only quietly retracting his gaze in an instant, and continued to negotiate with the representatives around him.
The light was soft, as if it had tinted her skin with a soft colour, and she smiled as she stood in an almost psychedelic light, her long eyelashes casting shadows over her face. She was talking to the people around her, her slow and logical appearance, and her simple white dress seemed to complement each other generously.
It's just that in the past, Song Wencheng often stared at her side face like this.
At that time, they were still young, and they were all teenagers.
Her nose is upturned, her eyelashes are straight and long, and when she occasionally raises her eyebrows, her eyes are as clear as water, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Zhou Xilei, who was beside him, was still politely greeting the guests around him, but inadvertently looked back, but found that Song Wencheng was looking at someone. She was a little stunned, and she was also suspicious in her heart, and she looked at the gaze, and the overlapping figures really caught the figure that made him linger.
Zhou Xilei's eyes suddenly tightened, and a deep jealousy rose from her heart.
That woman, isn't it Lu Zhanyan?
You can't go wrong!
It's her!
Zhou Xilei smiled on her face and said softly, "If you want to see her, you can just walk over!" Or will I take a picture of you and put it next to you so that you can see it all the time? β
The people around her don't care about other women, Zhou Xilei won't feel this way.
Song Wencheng is a very good man, he usually treats her very gently and gently, and he can be said to be meticulous, but she knows that for such a man, his heart does not seem to linger on her.
That Lu Zhanyan, even though he didn't appear in her world, was so full of impact and destructive power.
Like a wall, it stood between them.
In any case, she can't seem to cross over.
Her slightly mocking words came, but Song Wencheng didn't care, just whispered, "There are a lot of guests today, I will introduce you to you, you have entered the company now, you must get familiar with it as soon as possible." β
"You know I don't like to remember those people! Anyway, the company has you! Zhou Xilei opened her mouth to refute, almost childish and willful, but she was also completely relieved.
"You are no longer a child, you should also pay attention to the company's affairs!" Song Wencheng said indifferently.
Zhou Xilei pursed her lips, a little angry, but did not speak again. Today's celebration was also invited by Song Wencheng, originally they were still in the Cold War, and his invitation made her very happy. But now, he keeps telling her to put the company first, which makes her unhappy.
looked at that corner again, and couldn't help but glare at Lu Zhanyan fiercely.
She has always been a thorn in her heart.
&mda;
"Manager Lu, you and Mr. Song of the Zhou family also know each other." The representative asked suddenly.
Lu Zhanyan smiled decently and said, "Wuzhou has also cooperated with the Zhou family before. β
"No wonder Mr. Song has been looking at you, if he hadn't brought his fiancΓ©e with him, I would have misunderstood whether he admired Manager Lu or not." The man said half-jokingly, half-jokingly.
When Lu Zhanyan heard this, he only smiled faintly, "Manager Wang is really joking." β
"Look, Mr. Song is still watching you." The man said again.
Lu Zhanyan looked at the other party's suspicious gaze, although he didn't want to make contact, he still glanced back.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Song Wencheng not far away staring here, his eyes were as gentle and peaceful as the warm sun, as if he was just looking at it like this, and he was satisfied and happy.
No wonder the representative spoke like that.
His gaze is too reverie.
Lu Zhanyan couldn't help frowning, feeling a little irritable.
And Zhou Xilei beside him, with a beautiful and glamorous face with a smile, but her eyes were slightly gloomy, and her eyes looked at her fiercely like a blade. After a while, it was Zhou Xilei who looked away and walked away with Song Wencheng quite strongly.
"Manager Lu, the daughter of the Zhou family just looked at you very badly." Unexpectedly, the representative not only did not walk away, but also continued to ridicule very uninterestingly.
Lu Zhanyan took a sip of champagne, lowered his eyes and smiled, "How come, Miss Zhou is a very generous person." β
While he was talking, there was another commotion at the door.
"Ah, Mr. Jin of Zhongzheng is also here."
Hearing this, Lu Zhanyan's whole body froze. The wine glass in his hand also shook slightly, and the wine in the glass rippled.
The voices around him were a little loud, all talking about him, Lu Zhanyan stood in the corner, slowly raised his head, and then looked over.
Qin Shijin had already entered the hall, dressed in a simple black suit, not elegant, but also quite noble. He strolled in, his figure tall and jade, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his face was slightly stern, and he suddenly had an unattainable and indifferent beauty in the light, which was very conspicuous in the crowd.
Immediately someone approached him to shake his gloves, and he stopped and began to talk.
Then more people also gathered in the past.
"Manager Lu, I'm sorry, I'll go first." The representative who spoke to Lu Zhanyan finally left, and he knew that he was eager to get closer to Zhongzheng.
Lu Zhanyan was still standing in place, watching the other party walk towards Qin Shijin, and greeted Qin Shijin with a smile.
Qin Shijin's gaze swept through the crowd, and he swept over Lu Zhanyan without a trace, as if he didn't see her at all.
He reached out and took a glass of wine, the red wine in the glass showed a heart-warming color, but his eyes were heavy and cold.
Lu Zhanyan just lowered his head, drank the wine in the cup, and changed another glass.
At this time, the celebration began, and the master of ceremonies took the stage to make a warm opening remark, and then invited the general manager Tang Renxiu to come to the stage to deliver a speech. Tang Renxiu's speech was very short, he stood on the stage, his figure was also tall and beautiful, with a charming smile, his low and magnetic voice was very pleasant, and the woman below was fascinated.
Tang Renxiu's charm is absolutely undoubted.
After a short speech, the master of ceremonies announced the start of tonight's dance party and asked Tang Renxiu to dance.
The lights dimmed and the band began to play.
The daughters and celebrities in the audience couldn't hide their nervousness and excitement, Tang Renxiu didn't bring a female companion this time, so if he started dancing, he would inevitably invite someone present.
Of course, they all desperately hope that they are the lucky ones who can be envied by others.
That's Tang Renxiu of Wuzhou Group!
Under the spotlight, Tang Renxiu slowly walked off the stage, and the lights above his head hit the middle of the field with his movements.
Lu Zhanyan was outside the crowd, and those crowds were hidden, only to feel that the light and shadow were getting closer and closer to him.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a sense of foreboding.
In the crowd in another place, Qin Shijin had a cold face, as if he expected the next scene.
Sure enough, in front of everyone's eyes, Tang Renxiu walked straight to Lu Zhanyan, and then smiled and made a "please" gesture.
Lu Zhanyan was slightly stunned, only feeling a little embarrassed. She could clearly perceive the stares cast by the women around her, those eyes of envy and jealousy. It's too eye-catching, this is not what Lu Zhanyan wants, but now he can't refuse, it's not good to refuse at this time, otherwise it will only be more criticized.
Lu Zhanyan had no choice but to put down the wine glass and put his hand into Tang Renxiu's hand.
β»β»β»
Under the gaze of everyone, Tang Renxiu pulled her into the dance floor, with a straight figure, elegant and handsome, and danced with Lu Zhanyan.
In the center of the dance floor, men in black dresses flutter, and women flutter in white skirts. If you can see it, you will know that it is Tang Renxiu who is good, and if you can't see the doorway, you will feel that the tacit understanding between these two people is really good.
"That woman seems to be Shun'an's manager, is she Mr. Tang's female companion?"
"It's very possible, otherwise how could I find her directly."
"It doesn't look good."
"It's just, it's average! Ugly! β
Around the dance floor, there are whispers.
Those fragmented words came into Qin Shijin's ears, and his hand holding the wine glass suddenly tightened, and his eyebrows furrowed.
The song finally ended, and there was a sudden sensation of applause.
Qin Shijin, who was on the dance floor, lowered his eyes and drank half a glass of residual wine in his hand.
The music sounded again, and after Tang Renxiu started dancing, the daughters who couldn't get his first dance rushed forward and invited him to dance. He is the master, and naturally he accepts it with a smile.
And there were already many people dancing on the dance floor, and Zhou Xilei was also invited to the dance floor. It's just that although she is on the dance floor, her eyes are paying attention to Song Wencheng all the time.
"Mr. Jin, do you have the honor to dance with you?" On Qin Shijin's side, there have been several celebrities gathered.
"Mr. Jin, I want to dance with you too!"
"Why don't you choose me?"
Qin Shijin's coldness is always unapproachable, so it makes people fearful, but it has magic power, and people can't help but want to get closer.
Lu Zhanyan got off the dance floor after a dance, and naturally looked for Qin Shijin, but found that there were several women gathered around him, and it seemed that they were going to invite him to dance. She couldn't help but be gloomy, and she just wanted to go back to that secluded corner, or linger a little longer and leave.
Qin Shijin looked at the women, and said to the woman who had just said the words "ugly eight monsters", "I dance with the not ugly eight monsters." β
The woman's expression changed, and she was even more stunned, as if she had been greatly humiliated.
Qin Shijin didn't say a word, and walked away from them.
Lu Zhanyan hadn't returned to that corner yet, but Song Wencheng suddenly stood in front of him, and said with a warm smile, "Zhanyan, can I invite you to dance?" β
"I don't want to dance." Lu Zhanyan directly refused.
Song Wencheng stretched out his hand to her again, "Didn't you jump just now?" β
"Now I don't want to jump." Lu Zhanyan didn't want to have any more contact with him, so he hurriedly turned around.
Lu Zhanyan just turned around and saw Qin Shijin walking towards her.
&mda;
Qin Shijin's face was cold, he was angry and forbearing, his thin lips were pursed very tightly and he didn't say a word.
"Show your face!" Song Wencheng was shouting and gently grabbed her.
"Let it go!" Lu Zhanyan was not very annoyed, and scolded softly!
But he was suddenly grabbed by Qin Shijin's wrist, and neither of the two men let go, Qin Shijin said coldly, "Mr. Song, also come to invite dance?" β
Song Wencheng was not to be outdone, "It seems that Mr. Jin is too." β
"So Manager Lu, I don't know who you give this dance to?" Qin Shijin's gaze was like a sharp blade.
And she looked at Qin Shijin almost helplessly, those eyes were staring at her. He is always quiet and introverted, even when the crisis comes, it is deep and unpredictable. However, at this moment, his eyes seemed to be on fire, as if he was about to attack when he was so angry.
Lu Zhanyan could only say, "Mr. Jin, it's an honor to dance with you." β
Qin Shijin showed a sneer and looked at Song Wencheng, "Mr. Song, I have conceded." β
Song Wencheng could only let go of his hand, stood in place with a smile, and silently looked at the figures of the two.
And Lu Zhanyan was brought onto the dance floor by Qin Shijin in this way.
He was obviously angry, which is why he grabbed her wrist with pain. Lu Zhanyan's eyes flashed with annoyance, but it was not good to argue with him in public, and it would be even more embarrassing when the time came, so he had to follow his dance steps a little stiffly.
"What? And I won't jump? Qin Shijin approached her and asked in a low voice.
Lu Zhanyan's body leaned back slightly, and his eyes looked away, "I haven't jumped for a long time." β
Waltz still taught her to dance, but after he left, she rarely practiced.
Qin Shijin's tone was flat, but it was full of gloom, "When you danced with Tang Renxiu just now, you were very relaxed. β
Lu Zhanyan stopped talking, and didn't know what to say, although he didn't look up, he also knew that his fierce gaze was shooting at her, making her uncomfortable.
Just danced like this, and when the music came to an end, Qin Shijin took her hand and pulled it, Lu Zhanyan turned around steadily, Qin Shijin's hand was already on her waist, she fell down and her hair almost touched the ground.
Such a standard and bold action surprised Lu Zhanyan and the people present.
The music stops, and the action freezes. Lu Zhanyan couldn't even breathe, looked up at Qin Shijin, Qin Shijin's handsome face was slightly cold, and then leaned down. His lips brushed past her ears, there was a damp temperature, and the other hand held her back and slowly pulled her up, "Don't let me see, you dance with others again!" β
There was applause in my ears.
Lu Zhanyan only felt that her cheeks were a little hot, and when she stood firm, she could only smile stiffly, then let go of his hand and paced to the side.
The small high &mda; tide caused by it also dissipated immediately after that.
Qin Shijin already had a new dance partner and started dancing again.
Lu Zhanyan only felt that she couldn't stay any longer, she didn't want to stay here anymore. After a few moments, she hurried out of the hall, leaving behind all the lights and shadows behind her.
β»β»β»
As soon as Lu Zhanyan walked out of the celebration hall, someone chased him from behind.
The hand that passed by her grabbed her hand at once.
It was Qin Shijin who grabbed Lu Zhanyan's hand and went straight to the outside of the hotel lobby. Lu Zhanyan was stunned, he didn't expect him to flash out at once. His steps were so big that she couldn't keep up for a while, and she was wearing high heels, and he was crutches on the way. But he was still walking, and he didn't care about her cries. Even rudely stuffed her into the car, stepped on the gas pedal and left.
After driving out of the hotel for a while, he asked gloomily, "Shall I allow you to dance with him?" β
Referring to Tang Renxiu?
Tonight, apart from him, she only had to be with Tang Renxiu.
But it was a dance, how could she refuse?
Lu Zhanyan endured the pain in his feet, frowned but did not respond to his words, but said gently, "Didn't you also jump with others." β
As soon as the words came out, even I was annoyed.
What are these words? Could it be that she is also eating?
"I'm social!"
"I'm socializing too."
"After socializing your boss, you still want to entertain your ex-boyfriend? Do you want to open a room for you to spend time alone with each other? He snorted.
"Do you want to be so ugly? I'll say it again, Song Wencheng and I have nothing to do! Lu Zhanyan's anger also came up, she didn't want to quarrel with him, how could he force her out of her temper?
"The general manager of Wuzhou Group, the heir to the family business, and countless candidate fiancΓ©es, don't dream!" Qin Shijin drank coldly, tightened his grip on the steering wheel and drove all the way, no longer talking about Song Wencheng, but talking about Tang Renxiu.
And those ridiculous words all came into her ears, making Lu Zhanyan feel his brain also rise, he didn't know that these words seemed to remind her that he was also unattainable, "Don't worry!" I'm not dreaming! I don't think about anything that is unrealistic! Because I don't deserve it at all! Status, family background, money, looks, I don't have anything! Thank you for the kind reminder, but please don't say any more, I've got enough of it! β
She spoke so quickly that he frowned at the answer, and she began to shout, "Stop! I'll let you park! β
Qin Shijin didn't stop, he still drove, but slowed down.
After a moment of silence, he spoke, "You go to England." β
"Finish the work at hand as soon as possible, sort it out, and go to the UK. You've also said before that you want to travel to the UK, and since you want to go, go there. I will arrange everything, you don't need to prepare anything, just get your visa ready. When you get there, stay in whichever city you want to live in. You can travel, you can study abroad, you can work, you go there. β
Lu Zhanyan didn't know why, "What do you mean?" β
"I'll go to see you every month, and every week if I can." Qin Shijin said to himself.
Lu Zhanyan felt that his thoughts were in a mess, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Qin Shijin, what do you mean?" β
