"Who are you?" Shi Qian saw that Ling Xiao looked familiar. He pointed at Ling Xiao with his index finger but couldn't say his name.
Zhao Qing said quietly: "Ling Xiao."
"Yes!" Shi Qian clapped his hands and said with some excitement: "I didn't expect that I would meet a real person. You... uh, I'm sorry, I don't know what to call you. Are you the mysterious guest?"
Shi Qian, Zhao Qing and others were all senior executives of the company, and they didn't even know that Ling Xiao would be present. My mother's arrangement was a bit interesting.
Ling Xiao looked at me and smiled evilly: "I'm just a spokesperson. The mysterious guest should be my girlfriend." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he winked at me handsomely.
I lowered my head in embarrassment and subconsciously wanted to take away his hand on my shoulder, but Ling Xiao whispered in my ear: "If you want them to continue to bother you, I can leave now."
As soon as he said this, I immediately sat calmly and showed a gentle smile.
"So Ana Shen is your girlfriend, I'm disrespectful." Shi Qian stood up immediately and gave himself a glass of wine as a penalty. Then he took out his cell phone and said, "Can I take a photo with you? My girlfriend likes you very much."
This man named Shi Qian is obviously a cunning businessman with a smooth tongue. Just now he asked me for my personal information as if he wanted to chase me. Now he turns around and says that he has a girlfriend. Is this a slap in the face or a slap in the face? What about his own face, or is he trying to please Ling Xiao? Who knows.
Ling Xiao stretched out his hand as a sign of rejection, "Forget it about taking a group photo. I'm not used to taking pictures with men. If you don't mind, I can sign it for you."
Shi Qian nodded happily, "That's okay." Then he immediately took out a notebook from the briefcase behind him, took out the ink pen from his pocket and handed it to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao raised his chin slightly and took it readily. , wrote his signature coolly, then looked up at me and pushed the notebook in front of me, "Yanyan, please sign your name too, next to me."
He winked at me, and I thought he was warning me not to try to get my idea, so I agreed without thinking about it. But after I signed, he took it over and drew directly outside our names. A big love, and then took a photo with his mobile phone, and then handed it back to Shi Qian.
Shi Qian looked a little embarrassed, but he still got up enthusiastically to pick him up. But before his hand could touch the notebook, Ling Xiao suddenly let go of his hand, and the notebook fell straight into the pomfret soup on the table.
Ling Xiao looked away from my face and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, is there anything important in your book? How about I fish it out for you."
Shi Qian's eyes widened and his face looked particularly ugly. Of course, he was embarrassed to let Ling Xiao go to fish out the notebook from the soup. Even if he fished it out, it was soaked in disgrace, and the fonts inside were blurred by the soup.
Zhao Qing smiled silently and remained calm. Quietly observing the expressions of the few of us.
The other two male colleagues at the same table joked to Shi Qian, "In my opinion, if you just gave the notebook to your girlfriend and said it was Ling Xiao who accidentally dropped it into the soup, your girlfriend would be very, very happy."
Listening to them talk, I just wonder why the communication between people is so complicated. Everyone speaks with subtlety, but sometimes smiles with hidden knives. Sometimes I want to ask them, aren't you tired of living like this wearing a mask
My mother saw me in the middle of the venue, looking around as if she was studying Ling Xiao beside me, to make sure she saw it correctly, and then walked towards me.
I didn't want to listen to my mother-in-law at all. Just as I was about to leave, Ling Xiao took my hand and walked towards the back door. My mother stuck her head out and was stopped halfway by a colleague holding a wine glass. She could only watch helplessly as I was dragged away.
Ling Xiao pulled me all the way to the viewing platform, then let go of my hand and lay on the railing, breathing slightly.
I asked him curiously: "You just wanted to embarrass Shi Qian on purpose, right?"
Ling Xiao turned his head and glanced at me, "You can see this. It seems that my acting skills need to be improved."
I asked: "Why?"
Ling Xiao did not answer immediately, but stretched out first, grabbing something with both hands above, and then said in a calm tone: "If you don't give him some color, how can you let him continue to pick you up, and you won't even look at it?" He looks like that, and it’s my fault that he’s here today. If he were a man in your family, he would probably be banned.”
I pretended to be stupid and said, "He didn't date me, he just had a casual chat."
"Uh-huh!" Ling Xiao tried to pull me back: "How about I go back and explain to him that you are not my girlfriend, so that he can pursue you with confidence."
"Hey, don't!" I directly held his hand. When his eyes slowly shifted to my hand, I withdrew my hand in embarrassment and said vaguely: "It's better to say goodbye, in case he is banned. , you have to blame me.”
Ling Xiao's eyes became hot, and I felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal. I immediately changed the subject and said, "Why did you come to my annual meeting of Head Office Zhang?"
Ling Xiao turned around lightly, leaned against the railing and lazily closed his eyes. The corners of his mouth kept rising, and a sunny smile floated on Qingjun's face: "I don't know who Mr. Zhang is. I only recognize money and can afford to appear." I'll come if you want, it's just to show my face anyway."
I'm a little curious about how much money my mother paid him. After the promotion of the "Green Snake" movie, Ling Xiao's net worth must be in six figures. It seems that my mother is quite wealthy. In fact, my dad and I don't know how much her company makes every year. Every time she mentions the company to us, my dad and I rush to cover our ears. When I was in school, my dad's salary was not only enough to support my schooling but also to support my family, so when my mom was rarely needed to get money, even the house at home was bought in accordance with my dad's requirements and was a house with a slightly more elegant environment. A community building, not a luxurious villa or high-end apartment. When it comes to money, our family takes it lightly, which is why Yuan Yushan has been jealous of me since she was a child, because I can easily get whatever I want, so I have no idea about money.
Ling Xiao saw that I was a little dazed, stretched out his hand in front of my eyes and said, "Why, don't you think I'm snobbish? I'm just kidding you. My agent contacted me here, and all my work is arranged by my agent. , many times we don’t have a choice.”
"Ha, no, I was just thinking, you just told them that I was your girlfriend, aren't you afraid that they will tell you that I am your girlfriend?" I leaned against the railing with him and looked at the flowers and plants on the terrace.
Ling Xiao's tone was slightly raised, "What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, I have so many scandals, it doesn't matter if I have one more or one less."
"Ahem." I reminded somewhat unnaturally: "Aren't you afraid that someone will block you?"
Ling Xiao frowned, "Who is it?" Then with a look of realization on his face: "Oh, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. You are Mr. Liang's woman. No, no, no. I have to go back and explain it to them. Mr. Liang If you block me, my reputation will be ruined."
I was amused by his exaggerated reaction and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, Liang Sheng is not that unreasonable."
Ling Xiao flattened his mouth and glanced at me with disgust: "I'm just teasing you, but you really protect your calf."
I rolled my eyes helplessly, "Okay, blame me for taking it too seriously."
Ling Xiao smiled quietly, regained his composure and continued to look at the sea. The corners of his eyes were slightly bent downwards with a smile, and the air seemed to have a warmer feeling.
Almost fifteen minutes later, unknown flowers on the terrace were swaying in the wind. Ling Xiao answered the phone and rushed to the venue. When I sat back in my seat, Shi Qian deliberately avoided my gaze. My mother came over and asked softly, "Where were you just now? Is the person with you Ling Xiao?"
I was afraid that my mother would gossip, so I simply pretended to be ignorant: "Who is it? I just went to the toilet."
At this time, the whole audience was shocked. A gentle man in casual clothes walked up to the stage. He took the microphone from the host, briefly introduced himself amidst the cheers of the crowd, and said a few words. After saying a blessing, he walked towards the stage affectionately.
"Ling Xiao!" Everyone screamed.
My mother looked at him with a look of great approval, and then replied to me after a while: "I hope that person just now was Ling Xiao."
Of course I know what my mother means, so I also want to ask her, my father can't even accept a serious CEO of a company, so if you find me a male star who is surrounded by scandals, he will vomit blood in anger.
Under the protection of four security guards, Ling Xiao walked around the venue, briefly greeted everyone, and exited through the back door. Several enthusiastic female employees chased them out crying excitedly and were abruptly killed by the security guards. Stopped. Listening to their heart-rending screams, I was worried that their throats would be torn.
After Ling Xiao leaves the show, he will probably return to the terrace. He may continue to face the sea, or he may continue to sleep on the deck chair. When I finished dealing with the young talents introduced by my mother and returned to the terrace, I didn't see Ling Xiao's shadow.
I suddenly laughed to myself, leaned on the railing and drank the champagne in the glass.
