Chapter 42 Dinner Party

41

Similarly, the hotel's elaborately decorated night scene, tonight's night scene is much more impetuous than two days ago.

The dinner was held in the banquet hall next to the artificial lake. The banquet hall has two floors and is semi-open. One side draws water from the lake to build a fountain reflecting the lights, and the other side is next to the hot spring waterfall for the guests to play and have fun.

Although the organization was very hasty, when Xu Zhen and others came, the place was already very lively. There were very few local people in the lobby. The only single-digit visitors were the middle and high-level members of the local DTC branch. Most of the guests got off the plane in the afternoon. Therefore, they are clearly divided into two camps, one side is high-browed and dark-eyed, all Europeans or Americans.The other party has yellow skin and dark eyes. When they see Xu Zhen, most of them will quickly raise their wine glasses to greet him.

Although the house was not full of guests, the atmosphere was warm.

Xu Zhen wears a long dress, and the decoration is still mainly light, while Xiao Yixuan's style is as hot as fire. They are all used to flying around, and they will send all kinds of luggage on the plane in advance wherever they go, and they are very well prepared.

Although Yang Xiu doesn't have a suitable skirt style, she is gradually getting used to wearing formal clothes. She is a clothes rack. A simple slim-fitting shirt with a stand-up collar and dark-colored plaid suit pants will not make people feel inappropriate no matter what she wears. , Xiao Yixuan laughed that she was dressed as a lazy person, rolled up her sleeves to work on the floor tiles, put down her sleeves to pat the ashes, and turned around to go to the ball to dance.

Passing by the dining table, Yang Xiu noticed that among the dazzling array of wines, there were grape juice, apple cider vinegar and soda water for people to choose from. It looks like a general, which saves people from the embarrassment of toasting with fruit juice.

Very thoughtful preparation.

Each of them held their wine glasses, and the three of them walked a little apart. The hall was filled with the deep melody of the cello with an exotic flavor, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

But if you want to listen to a piece of music quietly here, you are in the wrong place. Not far away, you hear a woman's voice calling Xu Zhen.

"Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen, finally let me see you again."

The voice was full of undisguised fanaticism, and it was not abrupt in the voice of a woman.

A woman wearing a purple backless long dress and heavy makeup strode up to Xu Zhen with a haughty and unique demeanor. There was no one else in her eyes except Xu Zhen. She walked in front of her, took a step closer, and called again, "Xu Zhen !"

It's really warmer than the sound.

Xu Zhen didn't retreat, but with a dull expression, he nodded to the woman in front of him, "Mr. Zhang."

It was Zhang Shutong who came and raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Zhang? Are we so unfamiliar? After all, we are old friends who have known each other for many years. I feel so sad when you call me that."

"Mr. Zhang and Times have known each other for many years, and there are more competitors than close friends." Xu Zhen raised his wine glass to Zhang Shutong, "Why does Mr. Zhang bother with mere titles?"

"If you want, I will resign as the second officer of the Zhang family tomorrow and go to the Times to find you," Zhang Shutong said with a warm expression, "but if I don't have the foundation in the Zhang family, how can I be worthy of you?" , You won’t like me like that, don’t you think so?”

Xu Zhen looked at Zhang Shutong as if looking at an unsatisfactory mural. Although he could not ignore it, it always gave people a feeling that he would look away in the next second.

"Boss Zhang thinks too much."

Zhang Shutong smiled sweetly, and said to Xu Zhen: "Don't worry, I won't imitate those useless men, I will win you hard, and love you hard, please tell me."

On the other side, Xiao Yixuan smiled and said to Yang Xiu: "You have a good ability to accept."

The two were watching a play not far away. From the very beginning, Xiao Yixuan was interested in seeing Yang Xiu's attitude, but it was a pity that she had not seen Yang Xiu's frightened expression until she saw Zhang Shutong's most explosive last sentence just now. .

Yang Xiu held the fruit vinegar calmly, and said, "Actually, I'm not that calm, but I just don't know what expression to make. If I'm seventeen or eighteen years younger, I might be about to cry now."

Xiao Yixuan said angrily: "Your state after being frightened is as good as usual."

In fact, Yang Xiu was really surprised. She has only started to wander on the fringes of society in the past two years, and entering the era to work is the closest she has come to a normal life.She hasn't read many romance novels. In the past, the target in the bureau had to write a report for review, and no one had popularized such a high-level scene with her.

However, she recently learned from Xiao Yixuan what it means to ask when she doesn't understand. For things she doesn't understand, Yang Xiu sensiblely asks Xiao Yixuan seriously.

The two asked and answered a few words, Xiao Yixuan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Others have never eaten pork, and they have seen pigs running, but you are lucky, the relationship used to live on a planet without pigs?"

After joking a few words, Xiao Yixuan confirmed Yang Xiu's confusion with a very indifferent attitude.

"Zhang Shutong, I'm so familiar. The second vice president of the Zhang family is almost Xu Xu's position in the era. Her status is not low, and she has little real power. Her uncle is the head of the Zhang family, the boss of the group, and has no son. Her successor is yet to be determined, and she is considered a popular candidate."

"Her attitude towards Mr. Xu?" Xiao Yixuan talked to Yang Xiu patiently: "Have you ever seen a star chaser? Fanatical fans, who collect everything related to idols, follow idols to all places idols go, just like idols. A shadow, or a thoughtful little padded jacket. If the family has money or power, you can catch up with idols if you go one step further.”

Yang Xiu: "You mean Zhang Shutong is Mr. Xu's fan?"

Xiao Yixuan: "I mean Zhang Shutong was always chasing stars like this when he was a teenager."

Yang Xiu: "Have you caught up?"

Xiao Yixuan: "Do you want me to give you the registration form?"

Yang Xiu tilted her head and thought for a while. She wanted to ask if it was a man or a woman, so there should be no need to ask.

After saying something, Xiao Yixuan's mouth dried up, and she looked around and said, "What about Xia Yujing, how could she be missing in this kind of occasion."

In response to her words, just after finishing speaking, I saw Zhang Shutong, who was still entangled with Xu Zhen, waving in a certain direction, and called very enthusiastically, "Xiao Jing, come quickly."

After the voice fell for a few seconds, Xia Yujing quietly walked over from the crowd, and when she got closer, Yang Xiu's eyes shrank.

Xia Yujing changed her attire and was still decent, but when she walked, she felt that her footsteps were not steady, and the scarf tied around her neck was a bit abrupt.

This scarf is not available in the afternoon.The room temperature is not low, and such attire usually has only one meaning.Even an uncommon person like Yang Xiu can vaguely see the mottled color on the skin through the edge of the scarf.

Xiao Yixuan put away her casual expression, she saw the changes between Xia Yujing at night and Xia Yujing during the day more sensitively than Yang Xiu.She snorted, "You're really a good girl from IKEA, don't let me watch it anymore, I can't stand it." After speaking, she turned her back and didn't take another look.

In this room, Zhang Shutong embraced Xia Yujing affectionately, and said to Xu Zhen, "Xu Zhen, this secretary of yours is really nice, I like everything about her."

Xu Zhen sighed, this was the most realistic expression she had after seeing Zhang Shutong, but it was for Xia Yujing.

These fluctuations were all captured by Zhang Shutong's eyes, and joy flashed in his eyes. Every vivid expression of Xu Zhen was what she wanted to see.

It's a pity that this is the only point, Xu Zhen didn't say much, nodded to Xia Yujing, said to Zhang Shutong, and walked to the side.

Seeing Xu Zhen leave, Xia Yujing's eyes turned red for no reason, and she heard Zhang Shutong's joyful voice beside her ears, "It's great, you treat her like that, she still misses you, I like the long-term lover the most."

Zhang Shutong was very close to Xia Yujing, with the tip of her nose just under Xia Yujing's earlobe. It was originally a very ambiguous and affectionate gesture, but this sentence hit Xia Yujing's sore spot. There was bitterness on his face, "Mr. Zhang, isn't this what you want?"
