Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President
Chapter 5: lost heart
The reception that night was held in a medium-sized banquet hall of a high-end hotel. The people invited to come today are all influential figures in the business world of Haicheng, and they are no strangers to this place.
In the afternoon, there was a small accident in the briefing meeting of the head of the branch, which was half an hour later than the expected end time. The number of people gathered in the banquet hall gradually increased, but everyone chatted tacitly and was not in a hurry to start.
Shen Zhibing hadn't arrived yet, and Lian Ao hadn't appeared yet. Tonight's banquet was not yet officially started.
Several celebrities from aristocratic families gathered together, holding champagne in their hands and taking a sip from time to time, with elegant gestures. The gorgeous dresses were matched with the limited-edition small bags in their hands. If it weren't for the guilty eyes of talking about others behind their backs, they wouldn't be able to see the true state of these people.
"Have you heard? Lian Ao was forced to call back by his family this time."
"Isn't he in charge of business in the UK before, and he was called back after only a few months of hard work. Is he not good enough and needs to be replaced?"
"On the contrary, calling him back has a more important task."
Lian Ao is the most favored grandson of the Shiqun Consortium. He is suave and talented. He has been sought after in the wealthy circle since he was a child, and many daughters of famous families are willing to approach him, but everyone knows that this **** is unstoppable.
"You really haven't heard of it, are you still pretending to be confused?" Jane swayed the champagne twice, and glanced at the plastic sisters gathered around her.
"Annie, don't give a shit. Who doesn't know your family's news is the most well-informed."
Jane Anne smiled, taking advantage of such flattery.
"Actually, it's nothing new. This time, the old man of the Lian family spoke in person and asked Young Master Lian to come back and get engaged."
"what?!"
The women who were originally still elegant and gentle exclaimed in a low voice almost at the same time, is this not a new thing? A few years ago, when they were still in their first love, they had thought about Lian Ao a little bit, but seeing that Lian Ao was like a loach that couldn't be caught, they gradually lost interest.
"Whose daughter is so lucky to be engaged to Young Master Lian?"
Jane Annie smiled without saying a word, obviously wanting to keep selling.
"You should say, who is so unlucky to marry such a heartless Wang Laowu."
"Qinqin, why do you sound like you can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour? Do you still regret that he didn't invite you to dance on your last birthday?"
Jane Annie was afraid that this group of daughters would quarrel with their real temper and ruin the atmosphere of the evening, so she quickly stopped: "You all stop guessing, I heard that it is a well-matched family."
There are indeed a few that can match the world group consortium, but there are just a few of them who can be married at the right age.
"Wouldn't it be Shen's Queen of Icebergs?"
"How is it possible, these two companies almost tore up at the auction last month for a piece of land."
"That's true. It seems that the most likely one is Lin Muyun. But she has been abroad for a long time, and it is said that she does not plan to return in the near future."
It was probably because the gossip was too much involved that Shen Zhibing didn't even notice when he walked near them. When Jane Anne saw the cold and beautiful face, the champagne in her hand almost shook out.
"Mr. Shen, when did you arrive?"
The usual appearance of Shen Zhibing would inevitably cause quite a stir. The venue had been quiet just now, and they never thought that the Queen of Icebergs had arrived.
Shen Zhibing hooked the corner of his lips: "Just arrived."
She said that she had just arrived, but the champagne in her hand had clearly gone down by a third. She didn't know how much she had heard just now. Everyone looked at each other, didn't dare to say more, and pinned their hopes on Jane Anne.
Here, Jane Annie and Shen Zhibing still have a little friendship, but it's limited to some business dealings between the two. Among the peers, there are almost no people who can sit on an equal footing with Shen Zhibing.
Neither Lian Ao nor Lin Muyun will do.
They may be regarded as princes and princesses with golden spoons, but Shen Zhibing has already become a queen by virtue of her outstanding ability. In her eyes, these few rice bugs who can only rely on their family to eat fund dividends are even more worthless. One mention.
"We were talking just now, why didn't we see you tonight? We haven't seen you for so long. We miss you a lot." The Jane family is a leader in the media industry, and Jane's resilience is not bad.
Shen Zhibing was cold and indifferent, with no reaction, just looking at them occasionally was enough to make these people feel guilty and flustered. After all, the person talking behind his back was bumped by the master again, and it would be embarrassing for anyone else.
However, there are some specious rumors between Shen Zhibing and Lian Ao from time to time, which makes people very itchy, and they don't dare to gossip.
"If you are worried about it, I should come earlier to say hello to you next time."
Shen Zhibing's words were not sincere at all, but the others responded with moving reactions.
"Mr. Shen, so you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time. The people from the Australian Business Alliance want to see you, do you know if you're free now?"
At this time, someone came to look for Shen Zhibing, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Shen Zhibing left, the surrounding temperature rose a lot. Wu Qin patted his heart continuously: "I almost didn't scare me to cry just now."
"Is it so exaggerated?"
Wu Qin glared: "Dare you say you're not? No one dared to say a word just now, and they didn't even dare to lift their eyes, and they said me!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong again, Jian Anni said coldly, "Don't talk about it, everyone should be more restrained tonight. Especially the topic of President Shen and Young Master Lian, don't bring it up again."
While chatting with the guests from Australia, Shen Zhibing kept silently paying attention to the direction of the door of the banquet hall. She was half an hour late. She asked when she came, but Lian Ao hadn't arrived yet. But now that she has been here for so long, Lian Ao still hasn't appeared.
Logically, since Lian Ao had already returned to China, it was impossible not to come on such an important occasion tonight.
Besides, he specially sent flowers today, isn't it to preview tonight?
Shen Zhibing is rarely distracted, but fortunately, she has a lot of experience in shopping malls, and even if half of her mind is divided, she can do it with ease.
"I heard that Mr. Shen is very capable, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to visit in person. I didn't expect to meet today and find that you are not only capable, but also so beautiful." The Australian businessman spoke in broken Chinese, his eyes couldn't hide his eyes. The thought made Shen Zhibing sneer in his heart.
Men are always like this. The focus of evaluation of women is always focused on appearance and figure. Shen Zhibing has many suitors in the shopping mall, and there are many who are not discouraged even if they hit a nail countless times.
Foreigners probably don't understand this, and they habitually want to be courteous.
"President, I have something to do, excuse me first."
Shen Zhibing seemed to see Lian Ao's figure flashing past the door, and she hurried away.
To her, the entertainment tonight was important but nothing special. But because Lian Ao might appear, she was looking forward to it. Her makeup tonight was so delicate that people who were used to seeing her beauty were still amazed.
Shen Zhibing put down the glass and walked quickly to the door, where the waiter just closed the door.
"Did someone come just now?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Shen."
Shen Zhibing was definitely the most eye-catching one tonight, and even the waiter recognized her immediately.
Shen Zhibing changed his usual indifference and took the initiative to ask: "Did Mr. Lian from the World Group Consortium come just now?"
She didn't dare to call Lian Ao's name directly, for fear that she would miss her too much and affect her affection, which would make people hear that something was wrong.
"Mr. Shen is afraid that he has read it wrong. Mr. Lian didn't come tonight."
The banquet has been on for so long, and those who want to come have already arrived. No matter how big Ao's face is, he will never delay his appearance until now.
So tonight, he should not come.
Shen Zhibing's heart sank, and the previous urgency and expectations in her heart were thrown away, making her chill even more.
"Mr. Shen, do you need anything else?"
Shen Zhibing waved his hand and turned back to the place just now. In the crowd, she was still the most dazzling one. She took another glass of wine. Only she knew of Shen Zhibing's loss.
**
In the dormitory, Jiang Youyou, who had finished eating instant noodles, finally regained her spirits and recounted what happened in the afternoon. The bad anger in my heart came out again, and my mood was much better.
Her cell phone kept ringing, WeChat messages and phone calls kept coming and going, she simply shut down and asked for peace.
Qi Zheng pointed to the phone and said, "Aren't you going to listen to him explain?"
"What's there to explain? Betrayal only happens once and countless times. Besides, how do I know if it's the first time today?"
Jiang Youyou was sad, but even more disgusted, and did not want to talk to this person anymore.
Qi Zheng packed up the leftovers and turned around to see Jiang Youyou running to the locker, not knowing what she was looking for.
"I remember last time there were leftovers." She said, digging out a few cans of beer from the depths of the locker.
Qi Zheng vaguely remembered that it seemed that they celebrated their graduation early last month. They bought a case of beer and drank the rest a few times.
"Come on, we won't get drunk tonight!" Jiang Youyou handed Qi Zheng a can and picked up a can himself.
"I'm not broken in love, I don't want to get drunk." Qi Zheng said so, but she still took the beer, but she didn't plan to drink it.
"Are you my sister? I'm so pitiful that you don't drink with me at this time." Jiang Youyou took a big sip by herself, but she didn't know if she was choked, or her eyes were really red because of her sadness.
"You weren't very dashing just now, I thought you figured it out."
"It's one thing to figure it out, but it's another thing to forget it completely. After all, you will have feelings for a pet for a few years, let alone a person." Jiang Youyou didn't try to be brave in front of Qi Zheng, and told the truth.
"Qi Zheng, do you really have no one you like?"
During college, no matter how others tried to inquire, Qi Zheng never officially admitted her relationship with Lin Muyun. At first it was because she felt that it wasn't love at all, it was just a money relationship.
After that, she gradually became emotional, but because of Lin Muyun's attitude, she did not dare to ask for more. Later, Lin Muyun disappeared, and there was no follow-up to this relationship.
"Tell me, your tone is too tight, it's not interesting."
Sometimes in the dormitory night chat, everyone does not hide the topic of feelings or suitors. Qi Zheng is an audience most of the time, but when it was her turn, she insisted that she was single.
Jiang Youyou unknowingly began to drink the second can: "Actually, you don't have to hide it, we have met several times. You got off the sports car and kissed someone's face."
Qi Zheng was surprised, Jiang Youyou glanced at her calmly, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, kissing a girl these days is no big deal."
What Qi Zheng thought was that he had to pay more attention in the future, no matter who saw it, it was not a good thing. Of course, she doesn't need to worry about Lin Muyun now, as long as Shen Zhibing doesn't have a headache and runs to the school to find her.
It's true that Shen Zhibing wouldn't suddenly come to school, but after the reception tonight, she chose to go to the suburban villa.
Unexpectedly, when she waited for a faint headache to see Qi Zheng, she heard the housekeeper say that Miss Qi was going back to school in the afternoon, and her head hurt even more.
