Chapter 3: A toast

The golden door of the banquet hall on the north side of the sixteenth floor opened, and Fu Jichen, dressed in a three-piece suit, slowly came out, holding a freshly lit cigarette between his fingers.

Raising his hand, revealing his cold white wrist, wrapped around a pure black braided rope, and decorated with a white jade handle at the end, it was a lifelike carved male lion, a sleeping male lion with his eyes closed.

He pinched his eyebrows to relieve the fatigue of the entertainment.

Suddenly, a melodious cello sound poured out from the ballroom to the south.

The sound of the piano was so clear that the door to the Guy Ballroom was not closed.

Fu Jichen walked with a daze, his leather shoes on the light gray carpet, his footsteps were hidden, and only the waiter waiting at the door found him.

The slender and handsome man was well-dressed and imposing, and he received all kinds of guests, and the waiter guessed that the person who came was either rich or noble, and respectfully bowed his head.

Fu Jichen ignored them, and looked through the open door to see the girl he met in the elevator.

She sat in a chair of carved black lacquered wood, holding a cello in her arms, her half-pulled black hair hanging softly down her cheeks, the tips of her hair sweeping the undulations of her chest, and the blue bandeau star dress shining like a galaxy in the blazing white light. She tilted her head slightly, and the half of her face towards the door was as calm as water, and from a not too close distance, you could see her lips pursed lightly.

The girl's arms draw graceful lines in the air with the movement of the violin, and the whole dynamic picture seems to be covered with a soft filter, like a dream.

After watching it for a long time, Fu Jichen forgot the cigarette burning between his fingers, and the burning touch was transmitted to his fingertips, he shook slightly, and a long piece of cigarette ash fell on the expensive carpet.

In the banquet hall, those who know the piano and those who don't know the piano are all intoxicated, or immersed in the natural sound of the piano like flowing water or intoxicated by Shen Jianian's beauty.

"I'm looking for you everywhere, I'm here to hide in the quiet."

A joking voice sounded in his ears, and Fu Jichen did not look back.

Lu Yanzhi strode over, looked past Fu Jichen's probe into the banquet hall, and asked suspiciously: "What kind of show is going on here, it's quite elegant." ”

Fu Jichen still didn't say anything, turned around indifferently, and extinguished the cigarette butt on the lid of the trash can on the side of the corridor, leaving a faint tobacco fragrance in the air.

Lu Yanzhi copied it into the pocket of his suit pants with one hand, and walked leisurely to follow the person in front of him, and said in a leisurely tone: "I remember, today is Qin Zhongtian's mother's birthday, and I did it in this hotel, and I sent you an invitation half a month ago, but you didn't pay attention to it." ”

Fu Jichen's eyes showed coldness: "What a face." ”

Lu Yanzhi smiled, Qin Zhongtian's face was indeed not enough compared to the Fu family, but he couldn't afford to treat him lightly: "You are always in Beicheng like this." He gave a thumbs up, and then said casually, "He Qin Zhongtian is the Emperor of the Earth in the realm of Yicheng, you are new to the city, it is better to make friends than to make enemies." ”

Fu Jichen took his words as a deaf ear.

Lu Yanzhi shrugged his shoulders and said no more.

The Fu family has been at the top of the rich list for many years, and the one in front of him ranks first among the younger generation of the Fu family, known as "Fu Da", and is the golden grandson of the old man Fu who has high hopes. Half a year ago, he returned to China, took over Junshan Group, served as the general manager, and as soon as he took the position, he drastically laid off employees and changed blood, and launched innovative projects, which caused turmoil up and down the group, annoyed those veterans, and jointly sued Mr. Fu.

The old man sent Fu Jichen to Yicheng in a fit of anger, and asked him to be in charge of the subsidiaries of Junshan Group, and sharpen his temperament, intending to teach him that being a businessman not only has the courage to kill and decide, but also has to be calm.

This kind of treatment was equivalent to debasement in ancient times.

Therefore, after Fu Jichen landed in Yicheng, the direct side branch of Beicheng sent a lot of people to investigate, just to see how the high-spirited Fu Da solved the current dilemma and got the opportunity to return to the headquarters.

No one expected that the first thing he did was to spend 900 million yuan to buy a garden villa, which was full of roses, and took in some stray cats and dogs all day long.

Can't guess what he's thinking.

*

After finishing the song, Shen Jianian took a light breath, got up with the cello, and bowed deeply to the onlookers.

Mrs. Qin is an expert, and looking at Shen Jianian's familiar techniques, she knows that she plays the piano and is a person who can study the piano with a deep heart. The old lady looked appreciative and took the lead in applauding: "Not bad, really good." ”

For a time, the applause was thunderous, one after another.

When Yin Chengde heard the praise from the women around him, he couldn't help but straighten his back, his face was red, and he felt honored. On the contrary, his daughter Yin Shuyao was about to crush a mouthful of silver teeth.

What else could it be?

After Shen Jiannian's performance, several rich ladies gathered around Hu Yuzhi one after another and asked her who Shen Jianian was and whether she could be married.

Hu Yuzhi was also not happy, her biological daughter was lined with Shen Jianian's little cheap hooves, and she had to deal with the wives who came to pull the red thread for her son with a pleasant face.

"Jia Nian is my niece, this child is pitiful, there was a change in the family a month ago, and he lost his parents. Jia Nian is still young, and her uncle and I want to stay with her for two more years, and we haven't considered the issue of marriage at present, so please forgive me. ”

Hu Yuzhi played with her tongue and came up with a reason to prevaricate them, and when she said that she was moved, the corners of her eyes were red. With such superb acting skills, the actress has to bow down when she sees it, and she is ashamed of herself.

The wives have different colors, the girl has no father and no mother, and the only support is her uncle, who has his own daughter, to put it bluntly, she is a little orphan girl under the fence. There is no one behind to help, and marrying home can only be a beautiful vase, which is pleasing to the eye, but in fact, it is not beneficial to the family business.

In a matter of seconds, these shrewd wives weighed the pros and cons and made excuses to leave.

After Shen Jianian placed the baby cello, he was pulled by Hu Yuzhi to speak in front of Mrs. Qin. The old lady cherished her talent and pulled her to ask a lot of questions.

Shen Jianian answered them one by one, clearly organized, not arrogant or impatient.

Mrs. Qin was very satisfied with her, and said that she would introduce her grandson to her. She raised her eyes and walked around, but she didn't find anyone, and said with a smile: "I guess I went to chat with a friend." ”

Qin Zhongtian inserted it quietly with a wine glass, Yin Shuyao couldn't wait, and tried her best to give her mother a look, and the old lady praised Shen Jiannian for hearing those words that her ears were calloused.

Hu Yuzhi touched Shen Jianian's forearm lightly and reminded her in a voice that only two people could hear: "Mr. Qin is here, hurry, toast others with a glass of wine." ”

Shen Jianian was stunned, she didn't know how to drink.

"Hurry, what are you waiting for!" Hu Yuzhi pushed her and urged in a low voice.

Shen Jiannian curled up his fingertips, took a glass of red wine from the tray held by the waiter passing by, and lifted it with his eyes, and cherished the words like gold: "Mr. Qin, respect you." ”

Qin Zhongtian looked at her and smiled softly: "Miss's piano sound is beautiful, and the sound is even more beautiful." ”

As he spoke, he drank all the red wine in the glass, his rough Adam's apple slid up and down, his eyes and tails raised, and glanced at Shen Jianian through the top edge of the goblet.

The naked gaze stared at Shen Jiannian uncomfortable.
