At eight o'clock in the evening, Qiao Qiao and I attended the dinner party of Yang Wei's family.
In the afternoon, being disturbed by phone calls and hammers had inadvertently disturbed the delicate atmosphere. After all, the intimacy between a man and a woman also needs to pay attention to the atmosphere. Without the special occasion, special atmosphere and special emotions, neither of them has that kind of thought.
I told Qiao Qiao that there would be a dinner for Yang Wei's family in the evening, so we called for room service, and Qiao Qiao and I had a simple dinner, and then went back to our rooms to dress up. I was wearing a suit, but when I was waiting outside, I saw Qiao Qiao walking out in a fiery red suit.
She wore a bright fiery red evening gown, with a close-fitting and simple cut, and the fine folds on the skirt below, showing a bit of nobility in simplicity. Originally this kind of bright red evening dress, if the person wearing it is not suitable, it will easily look vulgar, but this red dress is worn on Jojo's body, making the already glamorous Jojo, It looks even brighter and more attractive, like a hot rose in full bloom!
Yang Wei didn't come to see us at night, but sent someone to our room and led us to the banquet.
The place of the banquet is in a restaurant downstairs of the hotel. This is not the first time for me to attend such a so-called high society banquet, and Qiao Qiao was born into a wealthy family, so he is even more expert in this kind of thing. When we walked into the banquet hall, we immediately attracted the attention of many men with Qiao Qiao's beauty.
Although Yang Wei said that this is a small banquet for their family, but I took a look at it, and there are probably at least nearly a hundred guests present!
The band next to it was accompanied by a soft serenade, and every guest in the banquet hall, regardless of gender, was so well-dressed, and I noticed that many of them seemed to be Chinese, and there was no shortage of Asians.
I saw Yang Wei from a long distance, she was whispering something to a middle-aged man in his forties, she looked up and saw me, smiled at me, saw Qiao Qiao beside me, Yang There seemed to be a hint of disappointment in Wei Wei's eyes for an instant. But then she quickly returned to normal.
Tonight Yang Wei wore a long black evening dress, her hair was coiled up, like an elegant aristocratic woman, she walked gracefully to Qiao Qiao and me.
"You guys are here." Yang smiled peacefully, then looked at Qiao Qiao: "You are beautiful tonight."
Qiao Qiao seemed to be doing it on purpose, and glanced at Yang Wei's chest...then she pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a sly smile: "Miss Yang, why do I feel that you seem to be... um, you look plumper than during the day A lot."
Although I didn't speak... But, um, in my heart, I do feel that Yang Wei's black evening dress tonight is very feminine, especially her breasts seem to be really plump, right? few.
After hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Yang Wei seemed to be taken aback for a moment, showing a bit of embarrassment, she seemed to open her mouth to fight back, but Qiao Qiao smiled and said: "No need to explain, everyone is a woman, I can understand."
Even though Yang Wei could bear it, she was also a woman after all, her face turned pale, and finally took a deep breath, and glanced at Qiao Qiao: "Chen Yang, my uncle is right there, I'll go over and talk to him in a while , and then I’ll take you there to meet him.”
I was a little dazed, because of Qiao Qiao's words, I was a little lost in thought, but my eyes fell on Yang Wei's chest involuntarily... When Yang Wei called me, I suddenly came back to my senses. Yang Wei noticed my gaze, blushed immediately, then gave me a hard look, and then gave Qiao Qiao an annoyed look. Qiao Qiao made a face at her and stuck out her tongue.
Yang Wei was angry and ashamed, stomped her feet, turned and left.
I looked at Qiao Qiao and frowned in a low voice: "Qiao Qiao, you still..."
"Hush..." Qiao Qiao put a finger on her mouth, and said with a smile: "Didn't you notice it? When this woman Yang Wei was arguing with me during the day, she looked very calm, as if I didn't care what I said. It's just pretending... Look, she actually cares! No, I laugh at her small breasts during the day, but I don't know what she did at night, probably wearing some kind of magic bra to make her bust bigger... Hahaha... When it comes to a woman's mind, I know a lot better than you! Hmph, no matter how smart and calm she is, there is no woman in this world who doesn't care about her bust size!"
"Qiao Qiao, it's all right." I said seriously: "She didn't mean anything malicious, and she is my friend, and she has helped me with many things."
"OK, I didn't mean anything malicious." Qiao Qiao smiled, but the sly look in her eyes couldn't hide it from me: "It's just that I won't watch her rob my man! Um... the relationship between Yan Di and I Man! I, Qiao Qiao, have nothing to settle! Don't worry, I won't confront her again, I have other ways."
I'm at a loss for words, but since she promised not to confront Yang Wei, it's fine, alas!
When Yang Wei finished speaking with her uncle, she returned to normal when she came back, and then looked at me: "Chen Yang, well, my uncle said that after the banquet is over, please go to the conference room to talk to him, Now let me take you around, there are quite a few guests, you might as well make friends, it might be good for your career." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Qiao Qiao: "Borrow your male companion for a while, no Do you mind?" After a pause, it seems that although Yang Wei's face is calm, he still has anger in his heart, and he couldn't help stabbing Qiao Qiao: "You won't be reluctant to leave him even for a moment..."
Qiao Qiao looked at Yang Wei, blinked, was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Miss Yang Wei."
"Huh?" Yang Wei responded, but with vigilance in his eyes.
"I heard you say during the day that women who embarrass men in public are stupid. This sentence makes sense, so let's temporarily cease fighting, OK?"
Yang Wei seemed a little surprised, but she smiled quickly: "Okay, deal." Then she smiled and said: "Okay, as long as you don't argue with me again, then let's go around together."
Immediately, accompanied by Yang Wei, Qiao Qiao and I walked around the banquet hall with her, and got to know some of tonight's guests, all of whom were quite well-known. Yang Wei introduced that I am from Vancouver, Canada. For some guests, she did not disclose my identity in detail, and for some guests, she introduced me unabashedly as the head of the big circle. And the other party didn't make a fuss when he heard it.
I understand that a family that runs a casino is of course inseparable from the underworld. Among these guests, there must be many members of the Sopranos family.
"Why doesn't your uncle see me now?" I hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Yang Wei sighed, she held up her wine glass with a smile, toasted to a pair of guests standing in the distance, then took a sip of the wine, and quickly explained in a low voice: "You see the two white people beside uncle now Are you done? They are talking about something, and they can't be separated now, I'm sorry, it's not that my uncle wants to neglect you, please don't misunderstand. "
I smiled: "Of course I don't misunderstand you, but I'm a little worried about the deal with your uncle."
Yang Wei thought about it, but even when she was thinking, she still had a charming smile on her face, and kept nodding and smiling to the guests around her, and even raised her glass to bless her, and at the same time said softly: "Chen Yang, I I won’t lie to you. You want to launder money, which is indeed one of our family’s businesses, but there are two problems. This business of money laundering is not an ordinary business! Money laundering also has to bear risks, so generally speaking, our family only Those regular customers who have always been close to each other do this kind of business. As for you, to my uncle, you are a complete stranger, and... To put it bluntly, your reputation in the big circle may not be very good in North America. Still Second... How much money do you have to launder in a year? Not to mention that our family doesn't need a lot of money at all... And you, how much money can you have for us to operate in a year? I calculated, and you can at most Take out 80 million to 100 million U.S. dollars... For a family like ours, this amount of money is really not a big business."
Qiao Qiao next to him suddenly interjected: "Oh, so, your uncle deliberately wants to show Chen Yang off, first to make a gesture, and then to talk about the price?"
Yang Wei's eyes lit up, she seemed to look at Qiao Qiao in surprise, she narrowed her eyes, held the wine glass, and said with a smile: "I don't deny that he has this intention... But, this is also a normal part of business negotiations , so I don’t need to hide this. It’s enough for everyone to understand in their hearts. Isn’t it?” She smiled again and looked at Qiao Qiao: “I didn’t see it, but you know a lot about business. Oh, I No sarcasm, just a sincere compliment, I think you are very smart."
Qiaoqiao was noncommittal, and smiled faintly, and then the two women raised their glasses with a bang in their elegant flower-like smiles, and took a sip of wine...
"So, how much is your uncle going to ask for?" I frowned. "If the asking price is too high, I'd rather find someone else."
"Alas." Yang Wei sighed, with apologetic eyes in her eyes: "Chen Yang, I don't want to hide from you. I guess my uncle's asking price may not be low. I'm sorry, there's only so much I can help you with. I tried my best to persuade my uncle, but you know, I am not in charge of this business in the family, and I cannot intervene. What I do is try my best to help you speak and influence my uncle's decision. But he is a very A person with a strong opinion, and in a family like ours, my personal friendship with you will not be considered as my uncle, he has always only focused on interests."
