Open the delicate red box.

A sparkling diamond necklace is radiating light.

Sitting in front of the dresser, Su Jie hung the necklace around her white neck.

Then she looked at herself in the mirror and rolled her eyes.

This is not to say that she is dissatisfied with herself, in fact today is perhaps the most exquisite day she has lived in more than thirty years.

Beautiful makeup, luxurious evening dress, and this necklace that she knew was valuable at a glance, Su Jie felt that she was very beautiful today, and her father also felt the same, so Su Qiang, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sat beside her and praised: "Girl, it's so beautiful." ”

If Su Qiang said this sentence on weekdays, Su Jie shouldn't be too happy, not to mention that she was not willing to dress like this today, so her answer was: "Dad, what you think is also beautiful." ”

Su Qiang: "......" sighed.

Today, the father and daughter are dressed like this because they are going to a banquet.

In this banquet, there will be several big customers of Su Jie's company, and they want to talk about the renewal of the contract, but in the known information, they have encountered strong opponents.

Therefore, the purpose of the father and daughter going to the banquet is extremely simple, to pat yourself on the back....

Life is like this, Su Qiang can be regarded as a successful person in society, and many people befriend him and cling to him, hoping to mix better.

But how can he not be like this, although after the first half of his life's efforts, he has made his daughter a sister, at least he will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life, but people who live in the world, there are a few who can be satisfied, and the desire to go to the next level is a fire that cannot be extinguished.

Su Jie will take over sooner or later, and adapting to the rhythm of society as soon as possible is good for her future, not to mention that she has been enjoying happiness for thirty years.

After finishing it, Su Qiang carefully took out a gold-edged invitation.

"Dad paid a lot of money to get it, and the security should check it in a while, so you can take it. ”

Su Jie took the envelope, sighed and said, "Dad, we and these bosses are not at the same level at all, so why do we have to..."

Su Qiang waved his hand: "Girl, the business is all won over, I want to think about what your father relied on when he started from scratch, just shameless." ”

Su Jie couldn't argue, looking at the folds on her father's face like a ravine, she understood that she was protected too well in the first half of her life, when she was middle-aged and her parents were old, she always had to shoulder the burden of the family.

So she bent down, changed into the high heels that she had prepared a long time ago, and walked out in a beautiful manner.

Su Qiang followed behind her, and suddenly had some kind of illusion, her daughter had grown up.

......

The lights are on, and the lights are bright.

The banquet hall was packed, and the sound of laughter and laughter had overshadowed the melodious background music.

In comparison, the level of this banquet was definitely not up to the previous banquet held to welcome Qin Ruyan.

But because of the relatively relaxed conditions, there is an endless stream of people in the hall.

Su Qiang and Su Jie showed the invitation, and they didn't make any splash after walking into the banquet, because the Su family's company can't be on the table here, and they are naturally not people who can be on the stage.

So like many middle-level mixed banquets, the father and daughter didn't get much welcome at the first time, and were quickly overwhelmed by the crowd.

But Su Jie is bright and moving today.

Although the evening dress is relatively conservative, her unique temperament still attracts the attention of many people with a smile.

Qin Ruyan, who was sitting in the box on the second floor, saw her at a glance, and she wanted to go downstairs to say hello to Su Jie as soon as possible, because Su Jie had been taking care of her during the dinner two days ago.

Although Qin Ruyan later learned that Su Jie and Li Guanchao's friends did not know that they were cultivators, and her brain was full of foam for a day, this did not prevent her from having an excellent sense of Su Jie.

And she thinks that only Su Jie has a high probability of becoming her boss.

So since you have met, it is natural to say hello.

And beside Qin Ruyan, Bai Zhiru, who found her gaze fixed, asked, "Know?"

Qin Ruyan nodded: "Well, my boss's wife..."

Bai Zhiru blinked, he knew that Qin Ruyan's boss was Li Guanchao, but he didn't know that Li Guanchao had a wife, so his eyes immediately followed Qin Ruyan's gaze and saw the beautiful Su Jie.

Qin Ruyan turned around and decided to go and say hello in person.

Bai Zhiru followed closely but said, "Miss Qin, your name has been a little loud in the Linjiang circle recently, you still don't want to go down, I'll invite her up for you." ”

Qin Ruyan thought about it, so she nodded: "Her name is Su Jie, you must make it clear to her the reason why I didn't go to greet her, many people are not to blame." ”

Bai Zhiru smiled: "Don't worry." ”

As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the independent box on the second floor and walked to the venue.

......

Su Qiang had already found his big customers.

Mr. Wang, President of Linjiang District from Huaxia Cola, Mr. Li, CEO of Procter & Gamble Group, and Mr. Zhang from Tianyu Media.

Su Qiang runs an advertising company, has some billboards with good locations in Linjiang City, and also has a good relationship with the TV station.

In previous years, these three major customers were all holding handles.

In the latest quarter of this year, however, there have been some changes, with a brand new advertising agency suddenly entering the industry and pulling away many clients.

Of course, small customers are small fish and shrimp, and a hundred may not be worth a big customer, and these three are the top priority in the battle.

So Su Qiang came here today and took out a low posture that he hadn't taken out for a long time.

It's just not working well.

Mr. Wang, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang seemed to have reached a consensus in private, and no one let go, and often talked about the topic farther and farther.

So much so that for half an hour, Su Qiang's mouth was dry, and he didn't talk about serious things.

After being in a hurry, Su Qiang took a big sip of red wine: "Three CEOs, I also came with sincerity this year, don't disagree, give me a happy word." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and this time they didn't play haha.

Mr. Wang smiled and said: "Lao Su, although we have cooperated for many years, the business field is the business field, you are a person in the business field, can't you see through these things?"

Su Qiang took a deep breath and wanted to fight for it, but Su Jie held his hand at this time.

So she looked at the three of them and said for the first time: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, that's the case, as far as I know, my family's offer is lower, with our many years of cooperative relationship, you also know that in business, we will not have any problems." ”

Speaking of this, Su Jie was stunned, and she said: "So I really can't figure it out, a new company, with a higher price and an ominous level of business ability, why can it pull you away?"

All three of them were old fritters and smiled at each other.

In fact, the reason is sometimes very simple, the business market looks at pure profits, of course, they will choose the company with a lower price for many years, but the emerging advertising companies can not only give them benefits, so even if they spend more, what is it?

Su Jie saw their smiles and understood.

She looked at Su Qiang and said, "Dad, forget it." ”

Su Qiang gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, otherwise, our quotation can be lower, and the advertising plan can be redone, do you want to consider it?"

Su Jie has never experienced such a scene, and Su Qiang, who has always been strong at home, now looks like this, which makes her feel a little distressed.

It's just that she took her father's hand and found that her father was still persistent, and looked at the three big customers sincerely.

Mr. Wang sighed at this time: "Lao Su, to tell you the truth, don't think about us, have time to expand new customers." ”

Su Qiang shook his head, knowing that it was reasonable to not be benevolent and righteous in trading, he had done his best, and if he lost, he would lose.

Mr. Li felt that there was really no need to continue, he raised his head, unconsciously pointed at Su Qiang's nose and said, "Old Su, I must remind you, don't run into sharp advertisements, there is no good fruit to eat." ”

This sounds like advice, but it's actually a warning.

Looking at his arrogant look, Su Jie took a deep breath and wanted to step on his face with high heels.

Su Qiang's face also began to become ugly, this Mr. Li had just taken the position, and it was when he was in high spirits, and it was inevitable that he would speak a little arrogantly.

If Su Qiang was here, he would have to get by, but today his daughter Su Jie is also here, as a father, it is always a bit of a loss of face to be pointed at by someone.

Su Qiang took a deep breath, first knocked off the finger that Mr. Li pointed at him, and then said: "Talk is talking, don't point your finger at people." ”

Mr. Li smiled, his face began to look ugly, and he was about to say something.

At this time, Bai Zhiru appeared in front of them and smiled.

Boss Bai is known to everyone in Linjiang, and his status level is at the top of the pyramid.

After seeing him stand still, Mr. Wang took the lead in getting up, and then Mr. Zhang also stood up, Mr. Li glanced at Su Qiang, and tried his best to squeeze out a smiling face, of course he could tell which was more important.

Su Qiang knew Bai Zhiru, but Bai Zhiru didn't know him, and his low profile was really low enough today, so he didn't even stand up.

Before Bai Zhiru could speak, he was surrounded by the three presidents, he knew the three of them, but he was not familiar with them, and he even saw and heard between them on the way, and Su Jie's side seemed to be a little unpleasant.

Bai Zhiru, who was clear in his heart, nodded politely with them slightly, and when the three of them were about to say hello, he looked at Su Jie very sensibly and said, "Miss Su Jie, the VIPs on the second floor are waiting for you, are you here?"

Su Jie, who didn't know Bai Zhiru at all, didn't even know who he was, but at this time, she happened to see a girl waving to Bai Zhiru at the window on the second floor of the upper floor.

So Su Jie understood, and smiled calmly.

The three CEOs, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't figure out the situation for the first time.

Also didn't figure out the situation was Su Qiang, he watched his daughter stand up gracefully, I don't know... Why is a character at the level of Bai Zhiru so polite to her.

"Okay. ”

Su Jie stood up and said to Su Qiang: "Dad, you are waiting here, my friend is on the second floor." ”

Without waiting for Su Qiang to agree, Su Jie walked out in one step.

Bai Zhiru didn't bother with the three generals, but followed Su Jie's side.

Judging from the pace, he deliberately slowed down half a step and let Su Jie walk in front of him.

In the banquet hall, not only Su Qiang and the three general managers noticed this detail, but many people who knew and admired Bai Zhiru also saw this scene.

Social places are not only about etiquette and dress, but there are also many details that can show a person's identity.

People with a low status at the wine table will deliberately lower their glasses when toasting.

Bai Zhiru, who deliberately let half a step, naturally highlight Su Jie's identity.

It's just who is Su Jie?

Why did she let Bai Zhiru take half a step and follow behind him like an entourage?

While countless people had this question, Mr. Wang, who reacted the fastest, turned his face to look at Su Qiang.

Then there is Mr. Zhang, as well as Mr. Li.

It's just that Mr. Li's face was a little embarrassed, and he wasn't sure what was going on, he suddenly felt as if... Accidentally stepped into the pit.

Su Qiang didn't feel anything in the face of the rapidly changing face in front of him.

He poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and thought to himself, where is the second floor here?

......

The banquet is divided into tiers.

There are also tiers in the banquet.

As long as there are people, a strict hierarchy will automatically be formed.

So the second floor, of course, is much more high-end than the first floor.

But some people know this information, some people don't know, Su Qiang doesn't know, but the three bosses know.

They were very sure that they had captured the key things from Bai Zhiru's attitude and the details of Su Jie, so they immediately began to change their attitude towards Lao Su.

It's just that next, even if Mr. Wang proposed: "Or we will sign back the advertising in the next quarter, what Miss Su Jie said just now makes sense, the price is low, and it is a cooperative relationship for many years, which is trustworthy." ”

Mr. Zhang seconded: "I think so." ”

Mr. Li clapped his hands: "What Brother Wang said makes sense." ”

From their words, Su Qiang immediately thought that it seemed that the characters who could go up to the second floor were far deeper than the background of their rival companies, so the three old foxes would immediately drop the sesame seeds and pick up watermelons.

But these three customers are important.

But if he thought about it, and thought that his daughter was actually unwilling to run the company, Su Qiang made a decision: "Forget it, the three of you should please be smart, my temple is small, and I can't accommodate your three big Buddhas." ”

Mr. Wang's 'sigh': "You can see Lao Su when he says this, so we've known each other for ten years, right?"

Su Qiang's eyes widened, he never expected that Mr. Wang actually knew that they had known each other for ten years, so he recited: "Ten years ago, you didn't know me, I didn't belong to you, we are still the same, accompanied by a stranger....."

"Lao Su, why is this still useless lyrics?"

Su Qiang looked at the three of them: "It means that you don't want to be useless." ”

This trick... I learned it with his Pippi wife.

After saying this, looking at the faces of the three people, Su Qiang had two words in his heart, comfortable.

......

Su Jie's cards make people look sideways.

And after she came to the private room on the second floor, she looked at Qin Ruyan and smiled bitterly.

Li Guanchao's friends were really unusual, looking at Qin Ruyan's smiling eyes, Su Jie smiled.

Qin Ruyan poured wine and said, "Sister Su, it's not that I don't want to welcome you, the key is that there are too many people below." ”

Of course, Su Jie wouldn't mind this, she took half a glass of red wine, and she took a sip: "So you're a big shot?"

Bai Zhiru smiled: "You are the big man." ”

Su Jie looked at him.

Bai Zhiru said: "Okay, Li Guanchao is the big man." ”

Su Jie was not surprised by this answer, she put down her wine glass, stood where Qin Ruyan was standing just now, glanced at her father in the banquet hall outside the window, and said, "But I'm not very suitable for this kind of big man occasion, I'll leave if I talk to you." ”

......

Fifteen minutes later, Su Jie walked down.

Bai Zhiru was still behind her, attracting everyone's attention.

Su Jie didn't like everyone's eyes to focus on herself, she only liked Li Guanchao's eyes to focus on herself, so she came to Su Qiang and said, "Dad, let's go." ”

Su Qiang stood up, and Bai Zhiru, who had just learned that Su Jie's father was also here, hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Hello uncle, I am Bai Zhiru, I will invite you to dinner next time I have the opportunity." ”

Su Qiang shook hands with him...

remembered Bai Zhiru who he had heard and seen on the news, on various occasions, and on TV, and felt that life was a little wonderful for a while.

But he didn't show his timidity, smiled slightly, and said like an elder: "Okay." ”

Then he walked to Su Jie's side.

Su Jie grabbed Su Qiang's arm, and the father and daughter left the banquet hall under the send-off of Bai Zhiru.

Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Li were left with regret.

Sometimes people want to go up one step further by chance, Su Qiang seems to be the opportunity for them to reach the steps of the second floor, but they didn't grasp it, lost the watermelon, picked up the sesame seeds...

......

A Mercedes-Benz sedan entered the night near the river.

The father and daughter sitting in the car smiled, although the customer didn't talk about it, but pretended to force it.... The eternal thing is always to make people feel happy.

Su Qiang was gushing: "You don't know how quickly the faces of these three people have changed, you just went up, and you are about to talk to me about cooperation." ”

"I immediately rejected them and gave them a shame. ”

As he spoke, Su Qiang also slapped the steering wheel, even if the lights in the car were dim, he could still see his smile clearly.

Su Jie asked, "The customer is not important at this time?"

Su Qiang frowned: "I want you to take over because I want you to live a better life, then having parents will harm children, but after being frustrated today, I thought about it, if you take over the company and always need to talk to customers like me in the future, it is better to sell the company, how can my father make you rich in your life." ”

It is rare to hear Su Qiang speak so softly.

As a daughter, Su Jie was silent for a while.

However, men, especially old men, are not good at sensationalism after all.

Su Qiang swung the steering wheel, and after a turn, asked, "What kind of friend is on the second floor, so that Bai Zhiru can let you take half a step?"

Su Jie replied: "It's Li Guanchao's friend." ”

Su Qiang almost stepped on the brakes without a sharp brake.

When he learned early that his daughter liked a young man in a young grade and was not doing his job, of course he disagreed.

Later, Li Guanchao became a police officer, although I don't know what was going on, but he finally got a serious job, if the two of them were really good, it would be barely good.

Now, Su Qiang suddenly discovered....

It turned out that his family was climbing high, although there was time in the three stages, and for a while he still couldn't accept the young man who was always sitting on a rattan chair and shaking a fan, it turned out that... is not only a little white face, but also a little white face with money and power.

So he needed to digest and digest, so that he didn't dare to give the throttle, so that the car was rowed dozens of meters away.

Su Jie smiled and said, "What's wrong, it's hard to accept?"

Su Qiang: "...... , No, what kind of person is Li Guanchao, since he is a person of this level, why do you want to rent a house with you?"

Su Jie: "I also asked this question, and his official answer was that there were too many houses to live in, so he simply rented a house after coming to Linjiang." ”

"Is he still working at the Sheriff's Office?"

"Hmm. ”

Su Qiang scratched his head with one hand and said: "Su Jie, I didn't agree before, because he didn't have a job, and he was lying at home every day, and then he went to work, so it's okay to be reluctant, but now I think... You still can't make it, and after a long time, our family is still climbing. ”

Su Jie smiled when she heard this, looked out the window, and suddenly felt that her father was a little cute.
