Chapter 294: The Hanging Garden Tea Ball
After the meal, Zeng Xian was called to the study by Yi Xinghua.
"Chairman, is there something wrong?"
I called him to the study at night, and there must be something very important to explain.
Yi Xinghua walked back and forth in the study twice with his hands behind his back before saying:
"Zeng Xian, what do you think of my second daughter?"
Zeng Xian was stunned, what do you mean by this?
"The second lady is beautiful and generous, intelligent, dignified and virtuous······"
Zeng Xian struggled to think of these words of compliment.
Yi Xinghua interrupted:
"Tell the truth!"
Zeng Xian was stunned, and he really couldn't see what he wanted to say.
But if he was asked to tell the truth, he did it.
"The second lady seems to have a deep grudge against this family, and she is more radical in her words and actions, and it is easier to offend people. I don't know much about the others, after all, we haven't been together for a long time. ”
Yi Xinghua nodded,
"You're right! I blame me for being the way she is. The child is a good child, but I, who is a father, have not been educated well. ”
Zeng Xian comforted a little:
"The chairman doesn't need to say that, the students taught by the same teacher are still good and good, not to mention that the second lady has not been raised by your side since she was a child."
Yi Xinghua raised his hand to interrupt,
"Anyway, I owe a debt to this daughter.
As you just said, a character like her is easy to offend people, which is also a point that worries me.
It's just at home, and once I'm outside, I'm worried she'll get into trouble.
So I want you to help me watch her and not let her get stumbled.
But don't let her know I arranged it. ”
Zeng Xian felt a little lacking in skills, Xi Wei'an wanted him to protect Yi Xinghua, and now Yi Xinghua wanted him to protect Yi Zhongyu, he really wanted to divide himself into several points and divide them equally.
"Got it, chairman!"
At breakfast the next day, Aunt Gu said:
"Master, the chef borrowed from Sassoon PR has prepared a tea list, would you like to take a look?"
"No need, leave this matter to Zhong Yu. You have been in Singapore for so many years, and you have been dealing with foreigners a lot with your grandfather.
Afternoon tea and ceremonial parties are all British stuff, so you must prepare for it! ”
Yi Zhongyu didn't expect to take on such a big task just after going to work, and the excitement of eagerness to try it was beyond words.
"Got it, Father!"
Yi Zhongxiu was still a little lucky that she had escaped this catastrophe, but Yi Xinghua blocked her secret happiness with a word.
"On the day of the tea ball, you have to prepare well and entertain a very important guest for your father."
Yi Zhongxiu let out an "oh".
Although she is not very happy, she is quite experienced in this kind of scene communication, and she is not very repulsive.
Yi Zhongyu has something to do, and he is naturally full of spring. Looking at Zeng Xian's eyes, there was no previous hostility, but a smug smile appeared.
Zeng Xian really couldn't understand this woman, as if she had defeated herself in some way.
Back at Xinghua Department Store, Yi Zhongling and Yi Zhongxiu were first familiar with the company's business under Yi Xinghua's arrangement.
Yi Zhongling directly started arranging the tea dance party, and instructed the employees to do this and there, which can be described as vigorous and resolute.
Two days later, the Xinghua Department Store Sky Garden Tea Ball was officially held.
Shanghai's sons and ladies with heads and faces, as well as handsome guys and beauties from the mainland of the concession, will all dress up to participate.
Yi Zhongyu dressed up and went downstairs, and asked Zeng Xian Dan to be her driver.
"No, I'm going to follow the chairman!"
It is his job to protect Yi Xinghua.
"Don't worry, Dad said to stay at home and rest today, and not go to the company. And I've said hello to him, and I'm going to lend you a day. ”
Zeng Xian's hairs stood on end, and it sounded really uncomfortable.
"Do you want to wait for the eldest lady and the third lady?"
"No need! The eldest sister went to the company after breakfast, as for Zhong Xiu, I don't want to go with her, Zhong Jie will send her there later. ”
Zeng Xian nodded,
"Okay, let's go!"
Yi Zhongyu grabbed him and looked him up and down, and said with a look of disgust:
"Are you going to wear this? It's a ball that only the upper class can attend that I've carefully planned, and even though you're not qualified, don't you want to go in and see it? ”
Zeng Xian felt a burst of disgust in his heart,
"I don't want to!"
"If you don't want to, you have to go in, hurry back and change into decent clothes, preferably a suit, clean."
This woman is simply domineering and unreasonable.
Zeng Xian changed into a navy blue black line checkered suit, this is a new batch of suits from Xinghua Department Store yesterday, and Yi Xinghua asked him to choose a set.
"I didn't expect you to be a clothes rack, not bad!"
Yi Zhongyu was obviously a little surprised in his eyes, but he didn't show it.
Zeng Xian followed Yi Zhongyu to the venue, and there were a lot of sons and sisters, and they were already singing and dancing.
Many young ladies recognized Zeng Xian, who was in the limelight at the 10th anniversary of Xinghua Department Store, and they couldn't help but throw radio waves at him.
Zeng Xian's whole body was filled with an electric current from top to bottom, and he took deep breaths repeatedly before suppressing this fire.
Unexpectedly, this embarrassing scene was also seen by Yi Zhongyu, who was sitting upright from afar, and gave him a disdainful look.
Zeng Xian said coldly in his heart:
"If you have the ability, you let me try it too!"
"You can play by yourself, you don't have to follow me."
Yi Zhongyu found a sofa where no one was there and sat down, his eyes just facing the door.
Zeng Xian sat down in another corner, picked up a bunch of grapes and ate it.
Cheerful tunes are played at the ball, and the boys in suits and leather shoes invite their favorite young ladies to dance, and the so-called etiquette will be more like a blind date meeting.
If you look at the right eye here, maybe when you go home, you will let your family go to the woman's house to propose.
Yi Zhongyu looked high, and rejected the invitations of several men with her marked disgusted expression, and looked towards the door from time to time.
She's waiting for someone.
A few days ago, Yi Xinghua and Huang Yingru were talking in the house, saying that Tang Fengwu, the son of an old friend, was coming to Shanghai to work, and Yi Xinghua intended to match this person with Yi Zhongxiu.
The person he wanted Yi Zhongxiu to entertain at this dance was Tang Fengwu.
Yi Zhongyu knew about this, felt that Yi Xinghua was biased, and decided to make trouble from it.
Not only Yi Zhongyu knew about this matter, but Zeng Xian also knew about it, and what he knew was different from what Yi Zhongyu knew.
Yi Xinghua told him that this Mr. Tang Fengwu is a diplomat, and he can be described as young and promising.
His original intention was to match his marriage with Yi Zhongyu.
But with Yi Zhongyu's misunderstanding of him, he would definitely not accept the object arranged by the family, so he thought of this trick.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father, Jiang is still old and spicy!
Yi Zhongyu really took the bait.
Yi Xinghua told Zeng Xian about this because he wanted him to assist when necessary.
Zeng Xian verbally agreed, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He doesn't like Yi Er, why should he assist her in her marriage?
Zeng Xian sat far away and saw a waiter come to Yi Zhongyu's side.
"Second Miss, Mr. Tang is here!"
"Got it! Draw a card later and get him a number 7. ”
"Yes, Second Miss!"
A small game was prepared at the venue, in which each man and woman drew a card, and the same number was the dance partner.
Zeng Xian also participated, and the draw was No. 5.
Zeng Xian came to the field with a number plate and introduced himself to others one by one.
"Hello two, my name is Zeng Xian!"
[The host successfully unlocked the main character Lu Pei in the play, and the supporting character Liu Qingfen, with a reward of 1.1 million, which has been issued to the bank card with a tail number of 9669]
"Hello, my name is Lu Pei, and this is my cousin Liu Qingfen."
Lu Pei introduced.
"I know you, you were in the limelight on the day of Xinghua's anniversary, and I was there at the time. Cousin, let me tell you, this Mr. Zeng is amazing! ”
Liu Qingfen said with a smile.
"Miss Liu has won the prize!"
Zeng Xian glanced at the number plate in Liu Qingfen's hand and saw No. 5.
"By the way, why didn't I see Zhong Xiu, hasn't she come yet?"
Liu Qingfen asked, and Zeng Xian replied:
"I'll send the second miss first, the third miss should be sent by Young Master Zhong Jie, it should be almost there!"
"Zhong Jie will come too?"
Hearing that Yi Zhongjie was also coming, Liu Qingfen seemed very happy.
It seems that this Liu Qingfen is interesting to Yi Zhongjie.
After chatting with the two of them for a few words, Zeng Xian continued to change.
[The host successfully unlocked Tang Fengwu, the main character in the play, with a reward of 1 million, which has been issued to the bank card with a tail number of 9669]
Tang Fengwu was dressed in a black suit, with a tall figure and gold-rimmed glasses.
No wonder Yi Xinghua chose him as his son-in-law.
"Hello, my name is Zeng Xian, and I am the person next to the chairman of Xinghua Department Store. You are Mr. Tang Fengwu, right? ”
Zeng Xian greeted politely.
"Hello!"
Tang Fengwu politely returned the salute.
"The chairman told me to treat you well, and if you need anything, just ask."
"Okay!"
The two didn't know each other well, and what they said was all scenes.
Tang Fengwu is not smiling, giving people the impression of being too serious.
"What number of cards did Mr. Tang get?"
Tang Fengwu picked up the cards in his hand and glanced at them,
"Number 7!"
Zeng Xian cheekily said:
"I'm holding a No. 5 card, I wonder if I can exchange it with Mr. Tang?"
This is his purpose in looking for Tang Fengwu.
"Yes, yes, but why?"
Zeng Xian whispered:
"The lady who got the No. 5 license plate was a bit of a holiday with me, and I didn't want to make an ugly fuss with her on this occasion."
Tang Fengwu paused and said:
"Okay, I'll change it with you!"
The two exchanged cards, standing together and chatting without a word, as if they were very familiar.
After all the cards were distributed, the host asked all the men to stand on the stage and block them with curtains to create a sense of mystery.
The ladies went up according to the number called by the host, and the curtain opened to know who their dance partner was.
When he called No. 7, Yi Zhongyu showed the confidence that he was determined to win, but when the curtain opened, he saw Zeng Xian, and the smile on his original face gradually froze.
"How could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me?"
"It can't be you, there must be something wrong!"
Yi Zhongyu was so angry that he threw the number plate in his hand on the ground and glared at Zeng Xian with slanted eyes.
"This link is designed by yourself, why, don't you want to follow the rules?"
The more Yi Zhongyu is like this, the more Zeng Xian wants to fight against her.
"What's the matter, you really want to dance with me?"
"It's not impossible!"
Zeng Xian smiled, staring at Yi Zhongyu with a pair of eyes.
Yi Zhongyu was originally quite angry, but suddenly with an infiltrating smile, he said:
"Okay!"
Knowing that Yi Zhongyu had a bad idea in his heart, Zeng Xian still stretched out his hand very gentlemanly and led Yi Zhongyu to the dance venue.
Zeng Xian is not very good at dancing, and he learned everything from others.
Yi Zhongyu deliberately stepped on his feet, the purpose of which was to make Zeng Xian make a fool of himself in front of everyone.
However, Zeng Xian skillfully avoided it every time, although the dance was not good-looking, but it was not as Yi Zhongyu wished.
Seeing that the plan did not succeed, Miss Yi Zhongyu lost her temper and shook off Zeng Xian's hand and returned to her seat. With a snap of his fingers, the waiter stepped forward to be interrogated.
"What's going on?"
The waiter pointed to Zeng Xian, who was standing on the field and smiling evilly at Yi Zhongyu,
"I saw Mr. Zeng and Mr. Tang change brands, I don't know why?"
Yi Zhongyu stared at Zeng Xian's eyes as if he was about to burst into flames, thinking to himself what this guy knew and what he wanted to do?
Yi Zhongyu asked the waiter which was Tang Fengwu, and Zeng Xian pointed to the glasses man who was dancing with Liu Qingfen.
After the waiter stepped back, Yi Zhongyu got up directly and came to Tang Fengwu's side.
"Mr. Tang!"
Tang Fengwu was originally facing away from her, but when she heard someone calling, she turned around.
"You are?"
Yi Zhongyu introduced herself with a smile on her face,
"Hello, my name is Yi Zhongyu, and Yi Xinghua is my father."
"It turned out to be Miss Yi Er, hello!"
Someone came up to talk, and he couldn't continue dancing.
Liu Qingfen was also interested and took the initiative to leave.
"You know me?"
Yi Zhongyu was a little surprised.
I heard that this Tang Fengwu came to Shanghai, and he would know her.
"Of course! The Yi family has three thousand gold, who wouldn't know? ”
"Yes!"
Yi Zhongyu's eyes swirled around Tang Fengwu's body, from top to bottom, from front to back, looking at people all over.
Then nodded slightly,
"Well, that's good!"
"What do you mean?"
Tang Fengwu was looked at like this, he only felt uncomfortable, and he also felt that the other party was very rude.
"Nothing?"
Yi Zhongyu smiled.
Zeng Xian came over at this time,
"Mr. Tang, I'm afraid our second miss has taken a fancy to you."
Zeng Xian was blunt, and the atmosphere was instantly embarrassing.
"Zeng Xian, what do you say?"
Yi Zhongyu was angry.
Although she had a good initial impression of this Tang Fengwu, it was the first time they met.
Zeng Xian said this, which really made her a little ugly.
Tang Fengwu didn't care about this, and said:
"Uncle Yi told me about it, but I have politely refused. Whether it's Miss Yi Er or Miss Yi San, I don't have any plans in this regard at the moment. ”
Now it's okay, before I said how to drop, the other party refused.
This made Yi Zhongyu even more embarrassed.
But who is she, she is Yi Zhongyu, Yi Zhongyu who is not afraid of heaven and earth! How could you put yourself in such an awkward position?
"Mr. Tang misunderstood, I just wanted to help my sister check the gates. That girl is young and doesn't understand anything yet, so of course I, as a sister, have to worry more about her. ”
Tang Fengwu knew that she was looking for face for herself, so she said:
"Miss Yi Er has good intentions. I'm sorry if what I just said makes you feel sick in your heart! ”
Zeng Xian can see that this Tang Fengwu's emotional intelligence is not very high, and his speech is rigid and direct.
Yi Zhongyu accepted it when he saw it, and said:
"Where the words! My father said to Mr. Tang more than once, if Mr. Tang is free today, it is better to go back with me for a while, so that our Yi family can do their best to be landlords. ”
Tang Fengwu nodded,
"It's good! I was going to visit my uncle and aunt at the house today. ”
"Then it's decided!"
Yi Zhongyu could barely squeeze out a smile when facing Tang Fengwu, but when he faced Zeng Xian, he almost wrote the word "angry" on his face.
"Zeng Xian, go and drive the car over!"
"Okay!"
