Katu

This is an open-air banquet, and the main part of the banquet is a pavilion by a lake. The long pavilion extends from the edge of the lake to the center of the lake. The floor of the pavilion is not paved with floor, but with transparent glass. You can clearly see the lake below, and occasionally you can see one or two red koi carp. Swim through. The eaves and corners of the pavilion are covered with wind chimes. The lake breeze blows, and the crisp and clear sound of the bells is intoxicating.

A long table has been set up in the gallery, extending from one end to the other. The table is piled with red wine and delicious food, while servants shuttle back and forth to lead the guests to their seats.

"This banquet is so boring, Brother Bai, why don't we sit at the same table together to pass the time." Rong Ming said with a smile.

Xu Jia's heart skipped a beat again. She couldn't figure out why Rong Ming was the only one who favored Manager Bai.

Chen Mu thought Rong Ming was a nice guy and his words were interesting, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Rong Ming turned around and ordered the servant: "Move Mr. Bai and Miss Xu's table to mine."

These two seats originally belonged to Rhodes and Jiang Yu. They smiled and didn't care, and consciously moved down two positions.

The servant's face showed a bit of trouble, but he had been warned a long time ago that he could not offend the master in front of him under any circumstances. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to do it. But he also knew the trick and immediately gave instructions to the person who was looking for him. The person quickly ran to Tai Shuzheng and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What? Master Rong really said that?" Tai Shuzheng's face turned gloomy. This is not a good sign for him. The man surnamed Bai is Lao San's subordinate, and Rong Ming favors him. It would be terrible if this attitude affects his attitude towards Lao San.

"Yes. The young one is on the side and heard it with his own ears. There is no mistake." The subordinate said quickly.

"I understand, you can go down." Tai Shuzheng's eyes found Manager Bai who was talking to Rong Ming through the gap between the people. The two of them looked quite familiar. Tai Shuzheng's eyes flashed with cold light, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Xu Jia sat unaccustomedly. Due to Rong Ming's instructions, she and Chen Mu sat next to Rong Ming. Rong Ming's status at tonight's banquet was unrivaled. His position was at the front seat on the right, and Chen Mu was sitting next to him, second on the right. In such a banquet, seating arrangement is a very particular matter. Many guests were shocked when they saw a masked person sitting under Rong Ming. They all looked curious and asked around about his origins. Being able to sit in the second seat on the right shows that his status is extremely noble.

Taishu Cheng also looked shocked. You should know that he was only sitting in the third seat on the left. Seeing Taishu Cheng's surprise, Xu Jia had no choice but to smile bitterly at him. Taishu Shen's eyes flickered back to Chen Mu, his face as gloomy as water.

Chen Mu didn't care about these attitudes. Although he has never participated in such a high-level banquet, he has met many important people and does not feel any stage fright. But from time to time, someone secretly looks at me, which is not a good feeling.

"To be honest, I hate banquets the most. They're so boring." Rong Ming complained casually.

Chen Mu said: "Then why are you still participating?"

Rong Ming was paused when he heard the words, and thought to himself, I'm not here just for you? Of course, these words could not be said out loud. He said vaguely: "Didn't I hear that Tan Yuwen is coming? I'm here to join in the fun."

Xu Jia chuckled lightly and said, "Haha, I didn't expect Lord Rong to be interested in Miss Tan too!"

Rong Ming's expression remained unchanged: "I'm a big old man, so I don't understand these things. But my little girl loves Miss Tan so much that she can't come tonight, so she's playing tricks on me and insisting that I invite Miss Tan to her birthday party. I I can’t be too tight on this daughter.”

Xu Jia covered her mouth and chuckled: "If I had a father like this, I'm afraid it would be the same."

"Tan Yuwen..." Chen Mu remembered this name. Lei Zi was also her biggest fan at that time. However, at that time, Tan Yuwen was only popular in Puju District. Unexpectedly, it has developed to Tiandongli District now, which is really amazing.

Rong Ming asked curiously: "Is Brother Bai also interested in Tan Yuwen?"

"Me?" Chen Muyao shook his head: "I am very unfamiliar with her, but a good friend of mine likes her very much."

The long table was not wide, and the distance between the two sides was very close. Taishu Cheng looked shocked when he heard Rong Ming call Chen Mu Brother Bai. Next to him, Taishu Shen's face became even more gloomy, while Taishu Zheng was still greeting the guests.

The guests took their seats one after another, and after more than ten minutes of shouting, the corridor gradually became quiet.

At this time, Tai Shuzheng returned to his seat, taking the first seat on his left, and glanced at Chen Mu beside Rong Ming. His eyes fell back on everyone, with a smile on his face, and he picked up the wine glass in front of him.

"Everyone, tonight's banquet is about to begin. First of all, I need to thank Mr. Rong Ming. It is really an honor for Taishu Zheng to come to the humble residence during his busy official duties! Mr. Yu and Mr. De are rare to appear tonight. , gentlemen and ladies who have daughters at home, please don’t let this golden opportunity pass you by!”

There was a burst of laughter in the corridor, and Jiang Yu and Rhodes shook their heads and laughed. Rhode's eyes would occasionally pass by Xu Jia beside him.

Tai Shuzheng gave a high-five and said loudly: "Tonight, in addition to Mr. Rong Ming, Mr. Yu and Mr. De, there is also a distinguished guest!" He looked mysterious: "Everyone, please don't scream for a moment. Oh!" After saying that, he shouted down: "Turn off the lights!"

The lights in the pavilion suddenly went out, and it was pitch black. The guests knew that there must be some show coming next, so they all waited patiently.

Ethereal singing came from the lake, and a small boat was vaguely visible.

"I have sung such a song all my life

Waiting for you to come and be with me after all the luster has faded

quietly

What flowers are used for dyeing in ancient books?

Only then can we paint the colors of the spring breeze

The years flow into a river in songs and poems

rippling slowly

How many drops of water are used?

Only then can the time be engraved

This thousand-year wind

Blowing clouds parting and reuniting

Who said losing is always beautiful?

…”

After the song ended, the lingering sound lingered. While everyone was still reminiscing, they suddenly heard a woman screaming: "Ah! Tan Yuwen! It's Tan Yuwen!" This time, it was like throwing a spark into a powder keg. The scene suddenly became chaotic, and many guests couldn't help but stand up, screaming and cheering. Jiang Yu, who looked quite stable, simply stood on the stool, stretched his neck, and looked directly at the boat in the lake. Rhodes also started cheering from the side, while Xu Jia also stared with curiosity on his face.

Chen Mu and Rong Ming looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Tai Shuzheng was quite proud of the sensation in front of him. He spent a lot of effort to please Miss Tan Yuwen. Now it seems that it is worth it!

At this time, the lights gradually turned on, and for a moment, the corridor and pavilion were already filled with light.

The boat had already docked at the pavilion, and a beautiful woman in a blue evening dress slowly walked into the pavilion from the boat.

Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a little surprised!

There weren't many decorations on the evening dress, but it couldn't hide her stunning appearance. As soon as she appeared, the entire pavilion became quiet, and she smiled lightly at everyone. That charming smile is dazzling and confusing. At this moment, she took away all the light, and all the light focused on her!

Xu Jia's eyes flashed with admiration. She was also a woman with good looks and temperament, but when she saw someone who was even better than herself, she strangely couldn't feel jealous. Even women can't resist her charm, she is so gorgeous!

Tai Shuzheng stood up at this time and saluted Tan Yuwen: "Miss Tan, please take a seat!"

Everyone suddenly realized that the only seat left was for Miss Tan Yuwen. Tan Yuwen bowed to everyone before sitting down.

His eyes were fixed on Tan Yuwen's face, and he sighed in his heart, she is indeed a woman who confuses all living beings! Even he was moved by it. You know, his resistance to beautiful women is very strong. Only then did he understand why so many people were obsessed with this woman! Even Lei Zi has become her biggest fan, no wonder!

Thinking of Lei Zi, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and his mood suddenly fell into a depression. In his eyes, Tan Yuwen's charm seemed to have suddenly decreased a lot, and he could no longer feel as stunning as before.

Xu Jia is extremely sensitive to changes in the emotions of people around her, and Chen Mu's sudden depression was clearly felt by her. A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. Everyone around her was extremely excited. For example, Jiang Yu's breathing became heavy, but Manager Bai next to him was a little lonely. However, she was very knowledgeable and not stupid enough to ask now.

Tan Yuwen had a charming smile on her face, and her wonderful eyes swept over the people in front of her. She knew very well that the closer someone was to her, the more powerful they were.

At this time, Tai Shuzheng stood up again, clapped his hands and announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a drink for our beautiful Miss Tan Yuwen!"

Everyone stood up with their glasses in hand: "Cheers!"

This toast means that the dinner party has officially begun.

I don't know if it was because of drinking a glass of red wine, but Tan Yumin's snow-white cheeks rose with two blushes, becoming more and more charming. She opened her red lips lightly and spoke slowly: "Mr. Zheng hasn't introduced everyone here to Yuwen yet!"

Tai Shuzheng smiled heartily and said: "This is my negligence." His hand first led to Rong Ming, who was sitting on the right hand seat: "This is Mr. Rong Ming, the director of the Dongrui City Security Department! He is a master of level seven perception. !”

Tan Yuwen looked slightly shocked and bowed to salute: "Yuwen has met Lord Rong Ming!"

"You're welcome, Miss Tan. My little girl is your best friend. Miss Tan Tan will give me a signed photo so that I can go back and do business! Haha," Rong Ming said with a gentle smile.

"That's Yumin's honor!" Tan Yumin smiled as usual.

At this time, Tai Shuzheng's hand had already been directed towards Chen Mu. His hand movements froze, and the expression on his face became a little unnatural.

People like Tan Yuwen, who are used to seeing all kinds of scenes, have a deep understanding of appearance, color and taste. Although Taishu Zheng's abnormality was not obvious, she still accurately captured it.

Her eyes also followed Tai Shuzheng's hand and landed on Chen Mu's face.
