12. A woman's drinking party
Time, when you cherish it more, tends to lose it faster. The degree of tumor deterioration in my younger sister is very fast. Looking at the examination report in his hand, Tang Ming told Huang Yan that there was no need for his sister to be hospitalized now. Although Tang Ming was reluctant to say this, it was just a waste of her last time to let her sister stay in the hospital now.
In the ward of the hospital, my sister suddenly said to Huang Yan that she wanted to go back to her hometown. After all these years, it's time to go back and take a look.
"I'll accompany you, and we can drive back. Stop and stop along the way, and you can also take your time to enjoy the scenery along the way. Huang Yan tried to calm his mood and said.
After hearing this, the younger sister stretched out her finger and was about to hook him. At first, she was worried that Huang Yan would not agree with her idea.
Tang Ming, who was standing on the side, did not object to this proposal. Although he knew that it was not very safe to drive back in his sister's current condition. But for my sister, there is no so-called security for a long time. Nothing is more important than the happiness of my sister at this time.
Huang Yan immediately called Qin Le and asked him to find a way to solve the problem of using the car. If there is no suitable one, you can buy it now, after making the call, Huang Yan deliberately glanced at Tang Ming.
With a look from the good brother, Tang Ming already understood what he meant.
"When I finished my work, I went over and asked for leave. How can I go out and play without me. Tang Ming knew that Huang Yan let him go with him. After all, there is a doctor with me, and I always feel safer.
After saying that, a few people began to prepare their own things for a long journey.
When they were busy here, Lu Lingling was not idle. The brawl on Bar Street has spread among the crowd inside. But what interests Lu Lingling more than this is that that night, the women's market suddenly started 24 hours without closing.
Afterwards, she had investigated the merchants inside. Many bosses said that they were also given last-minute notices. Lu Lingling vaguely felt that this matter was inseparable from Huang Yan.
It was already late at night, and Lu Lingling was still on the phone in the room.
Mr. Lu called Lu Ling Ling in the living room several times, but never got a reply from her. In fact, during this time, he has also sensed Lu Lingling's recent abnormality, and he always looks mysterious. Thinking of Leo's reminder, Mr. Lu finally decided to stand up and walk towards his daughter's room. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Lu Lingling opened the door and walked out inside.
"I've been calling her again in the middle of the night, how do I feel like you've been weird lately?" Mr. Lu asked.
In order not to arouse his father's suspicion, the smart Lu Lingling hurriedly grabbed his father's arm and said that he had recently been transferred to the Social Information Department, and he didn't know much about many things at work, so he needed to learn more from others.
As she spoke, she pulled Mr. Lu back to the sofa in the living room.
"How did you meet the man who had a confrontation with Leo at the show last time?" Mr. Lu asked with concern.
He has been volunteering at the welfare home where Yuanyuan works. You don't know, I feel like Yuanyuan might like this person. Lu Lingling told Mr. Lu about the bad rumors he heard about Huang Yan. In order not to arouse her father's suspicion, she had to lead the matter to her fear that Yuanyuan would be deceived.
After listening, Mr. Lu also said with some worry that when she had time to turn around, she would bring Yuanyuan to her home, and said that she would also talk to Yuanyuan well, and try not to interact with too complicated people.
The father and daughter chatted for a while, and just as Lu Lingling was about to go back to the room, a text message rang on his mobile phone.
Looking at the content of the text message, Lu Lingling's face showed a subtle smile.
Location, in a courtyard house on the edge of the Forbidden City in Beijing.
A painting and art appreciation salon is being held here. This salon was held by a woman named Sister Li. The woman was no more than forty years old. Not to mention her husband, but with her financial strength, she is also the leading figure in the wealthy circle of Beijing.
Not many people came to this salon, no more than ten people in total. While everyone was sitting at the dinner table discussing the painting this time, Sister Li's secretary walked in and whispered a few words in her ear.
After her nod, the secretary walked in with two more men a short time later.
The woman in front of her forties, the chief editor of a well-known domestic women's magazine, and a well-known beauty writer. Behind her was Lu Lingling, who walked with her. Unlike usual, today she also changed into a white dress.
"Editor-in-Chief Xi, our talented girl, I haven't seen you for a long time. What is the wind that blows you today? It was Sister Li, the organizer of the salon, who stood up to welcome them. After speaking, she also stretched out her slender and delicate right hand and shook hands with the two of them one by one to welcome.
Sister Li is also nearly fifty years old this year, but even compared with Lu Lingling, her beauty is not inferior at all. The temperament exuded between the gestures made Lu Lingling, who was standing on the side, sigh to himself. Especially after the handshake, her simple hug to the editor-in-chief looked so elegant.
"Sister Li, you're praising it again." Editor-in-chief Xi also hurriedly said hello.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Editor-in-Chief Xi formally introduced Lu Lingling, who was standing next to him. In addition to introducing Lu Lingling's current work in the TV station, he also deliberately mentioned the name of her father Lu Zong at the end, and also said that Zhang Lan, the boss of the Zhongwang Foundation, took special care of her, and she must let everyone teach this little girl more.
Lu Lingling's father's name is known to all of you here. He was a well-known figure in the legal profession. What's more, he is the boss of a well-known law firm in Hong Kong. His story can also be called a legend. As for the Zhongwang Foundation, everyone in the business world knows about it, and everyone knows about it. Sister Li still remembers that there was a rumor in the circle a few years ago that Zhang Lan had an illegitimate child who died in China because of an accident. Over the years, it has been rare to see her return to China.
"Miss Lu is really young and promising!" Sister Li took the initiative to greet Lu Lingling and said, "You are still the first person to ask Sister Lan to take care of her." ”
Every one of the people who can attend such a salon is not simple, and they are all human spirits. Everyone's words, even every expression, are full of deep meaning.
"Sister Li, you're polite. I hope you will take care of it in the future. Lu Lingling, who had already sat down, quickly got up and said politely.
Although she is not sophisticated, she is also a person who has seen big scenes since she was a child. I am still very experienced in this kind of celebrity socialization.
After a short interlude, everyone resumed their chat.
Small talk is what the salon is all about. Often, the real business opportunities lie in these small talks. For example, Mrs. Ma, who was just sitting next to Sister Li, inadvertently revealed that her husband was about to invest in a new energy project of a listed company. If it is heard by someone who cares, this news may bring him unimaginable benefits.
At the end of the salon, Sister Li took the initiative to ask the editor-in-chief and the two of them to stay.
Editor-in-chief Xi did not shirk and said that she must taste the red wine she said last time today.
Sister Li and Editor-in-Chief Xi glanced at each other, and both of them smiled. Obviously, everyone understands their own minds.
Regarding the uninvited visit of the editor-in-chief Xi, Sister Li had already guessed that there must be something wrong with her visit. However, looking at the Lu Lingling she brought, Sister Li really didn't guess for a while who this girl was.
After instructing the people below, in less than a moment, the red wine that the editor-in-chief Xi was going to taste had been prepared.
"Sister Lan asked you two talented girls to come over, wouldn't she let you report on my salon?" Sister Li asked tentatively while pouring the wine.
Editor-in-Chief Xi didn't answer after hearing this, and Sister Li knew that she was right. Lu Lingling's arrival is not what Editor-in-Chief Xi meant, the real master behind this scene is Zhang Lan. Editor-in-Chief Xi is just an errand boy this time. Otherwise, as soon as her words came out just now, Editor-in-Chief Xi would definitely talk.
In fact, it is not only Sister Li who is curious, but the editor-in-chief of Xi on the side is also full of curiosity about Lu Lingling's arrival this time. This time, Zhang Lan took out a 50 million advertising order with real money in exchange for her recommendation.
Lu Lingling glanced at the editor-in-chief Xi and nodded when he saw her, which obviously implied that she was at this time to talk about something. Then Lu Lingling took out a few photos from his bag and put them in front of Sister Li.
The photo was taken from the traffic management bureau, and it was very blurry because the speed of the car was too fast.
Sister Li looked at these photos with a puzzled expression, she really didn't understand what this meant.
Lu Lingling didn't rush to explain, but took out another stack of photos.
The content of the photo is the scene of Huang Yan confronting and fighting on the bar street. Looking at these photos, the figure of Huang Yan on the picture is becoming clearer and clearer.
"This Sister Li should know each other, right?" Lu Lingling asked with certainty.
Looking at the photo, Sister Li neither admitted nor denied her question.
Then Lu Lingling flipped out a few more photos, Huang Yan holding his sister and shopping in the women's market.
"On that day, the shopping mall in the Ladies Market suddenly announced a 24-hour event. You did it because of these two people, right? Lu Lingling continued to ask.
Sister Li sipped the red wine in her hand while looking at the photos. Suddenly, looking at the shooting angles of these photos, they should all be taken secretly.
She said this as if she was saying it to Lu Lingling, and it seemed like she was talking to herself.
"Sister Li, don't get me wrong. I just want to know how much you know about this man in the photo? Lu Lingling hurriedly explained.
Sister Li didn't speak, still drinking the red wine in her own glass.
Time passed minute by minute, and the helpless Lu Lingling had no choice but to give Editor-in-Chief Xi a look of help.
Editor-in-chief Xi raised his glass and said, "Sister Li, I heard from a friend that Zhongwang's real estate has a lot of cooperation with many shopping malls under your name. With this little girl's connections, even if you can't get the answer here, you can get it from other aspects. ”
Smart people have conversations, and every sentence is the point.
Sister Li put down her wine glass, and from her eyes, Lu Lingling already knew that the two sentences of the editor-in-chief just now had worked.
"His name is Huang Yan, and he was my husband's personal bodyguard, and he was my daughter's life-saver."
Sister Li's words surprised Lu Lingling and Editor-in-Chief Xi. Lu Lingling has always been prejudiced against Huang Yan in his heart, so it is hard to believe that he will do good deeds.
In fact, there were rumors in the circle that Sister Li's daughter had been kidnapped in the early years, but everyone had been embarrassed to ask for the sake of face.
