When Xu Tianyin arrived at the hotel, the media reporters waiting outside took a look at his military uniform and license plate, and then they thought of taking pictures.
But it's a pity that people have already entered the hotel, and all that can be taken of them is their backs.
As he walked through the hotel lobby, several young women at the reception desk slightly screamed when they saw him. As a result, no one came up to ask, so he entered the elevator directly and pressed the button for the fifth floor.
At this time, in the dance hall on the fifth floor, the shock continued.
Miao Chenghong looked at Xia Shao with an expression of shock that he had never seen before in all his years in the mall. She said that Huaxia Group was in control of this duel, and it turned out that everything was not just a show! At first, he thought that her words were just a sign of youthful arrogance and unwillingness to admit defeat. Later, when he found out that she had done nothing, he shook his head and laughed, thinking to himself, "You are young after all." Who would have thought that she not only did it, she simply created a legend!
She hid it from everyone and fought a classic business war!
Hu Guangjin shook his head in disbelief, this is unbelievable! This is a girl the same age as my daughter! This plan, this layout, this is incredible! Why didn't he notice her when she came from his villa? Why do you think she is so cute and inconspicuous sitting on the sofa drinking tea? Look at this person who is doing such a big job quietly!
Xiong Huaixing slapped his forehead and said, "Good boy... I'm finally convinced, old bear!"
Cao Li looked at Xia Shao at this time, and his eyes were not only amazed, but also filled with shock and amazement. It’s incredible! Her age and her deeds are amazing! Coupled with her appearance, her bearing... she is simply a treasure!
Cao Li's eyes burst out with enthusiasm! He wants her! This girl, he's determined!
Yan Longyuan lowered his eyes with rare admiration. Besides the head of the family, who else had he admired? This girl... no wonder the head of the house takes it to heart. I have known for a long time that the master’s vision is not wrong! She truly deserves it.
At this time, in the leisure area behind the ball hall, Liu Xianxian was the first to recover from the shock, blinking and staring at Xia Shao, who was smiling calmly on the stage, "Damn! This girl is doing this again... I am following her I said I wanted to make the atmosphere cheerful, but this is too much... "
No one answered her words. Hu Jiayi and Miao Yan still had their mouths half open and did not respond.
Yuanze also had a dumbfounded expression, with a look of shock in his eyes. He just thought that he didn't attend the dance where she established the Huaxia Group, so he wanted to come here this time to experience her achievements. But who knew that she was shocked again. The shock this time was no less than the last time!
"How many shares does the actual holding refer to? If calculated as assets, how much is it?" Liu Xianxian stared at Xia Shao and asked, muttering, "Convert it to a number for me. I want to ask her for a surprise fee... This time, I have to do it carefully. Kill her!"
Hu Jiayi finally had some reaction after hearing this, but she shook her head in confusion. It's not that she doesn't know, it's just that she can't give a specific number. Having grown up at home, she still knows a little about things in the mall. Shengxing Group, I heard from my father, has tens of billions of assets, but the stock fell sharply some time ago, and the assets must have shrunk significantly. It is definitely not worth that much now. However, since Shaozi holds so many shares of Shengxing Group, it is naturally impossible to let them fall like this. If it rises back, it is hard to say to what extent it can rise, and it is hard to say how profitable it will be.
At the very least, there is no way to calculate a number now.
Hu Jiayi can think of these things, and naturally the people present can also think of them, and they think more deeply than she does.
As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not stiff. A family business as big as the Shengxing Group would not be broken up so easily even if it changes hands. After the reorganization of the board of directors, the group can still come back to life as long as it is operational. Although Shengxing Group has caused a scandal of industry fraud, if Huaxia takes over, the first thing it must do is to save its reputation. None of them doubted that the girl in front of them would not be able to do this.
Apart from anything else, as soon as the matter is announced at the ribbon-cutting ceremony and press conference of Huaxia Group tomorrow, if it goes quickly, Shengxing's stock price will rise tomorrow!
If 65% of Shengxing Group's shares could be restored to their original state, then this asset... would be incredible!
Fu Ruixiang was only established last year, and Huaxia Group was only announced this summer, but it has only been a few months in the blink of an eye? There are still people talking about the press conference at the summer auction, and all the guests here tonight are here to see her in person. But the result? She announced another bombshell news!
If some people thought that the founding of China was due to luck before, what about now
A girl, at such a young age, single-handedly led such a business war and acquired the Shengxing Group, which had assets three times greater than hers! From the beginning of the month to today’s Christmas dance, it’s been one month! The acquisition of Shengxing shares only took one week!
Although this business war cannot be replicated, not every group will be like Wang Daolin, where all the troubles come together. But if this happened to the people present, could they take advantage of the opportunity and all the conditions that were beneficial to them
Maybe some people think they can, but if they go back a few decades and let themselves set up such a trap when this girl is this age, they ask themselves that they can't do it!
Huaxia Group has created another legend.
The guests present looked at Xia Shao one after another. Their eyes were different. Compared with the previous compliments and congratulations, they were more solemn and admirable. Everyone knows that if Huaxia Group can revive Shengxing and restore it to its former glory, then Huaxia's assets will at least double! By then, not only in the province, but also in the whole country, Huaxia Group will be considered a very important enterprise!
How long has it been? This dark horse in the shopping mall is growing at an alarming rate! With such a leader at the helm, how far has it grown
After the silence, a low gasp began to be heard in the dance.
Xia Shao stood in the meaningful eyes, smiled lightly, turned back slightly, and glanced at the three generals behind him.
Sun Changde suppressed his laughter and secretly gave Xia Shao a thumbs up - what a success! Without waiting for the ribbon-cutting press conference tomorrow, the news will explode in the upper circles tonight, and the stock price will definitely rise tomorrow! Mr. Xia never makes meaningless high-profile actions. As long as she makes a high-profile move once, she will definitely gain something.
Chen Manguan nodded to Xia Shao, indicating to her that the effect was achieved and the dance could begin.
Xia Shao nodded lightly and felt a smiling gaze coming from beside her. She turned around and saw Yang Qi also smiling congratulatoryly at her.
Yang Qi's eyes also contained a slight sigh, but in this slight sigh, there was a hint of helplessness and amusement - it was really unimaginable that he would not forget to take advantage of this situation. At her age, is she usually so calm? Doesn't it look like a girl of this age should look like
Xia Shao smiled, turned her gaze to the ball hall below, and said, "Now that I have announced my affairs, let the ball begin. Tonight is Christmas Eve. I wish you all a merry Christmas and hope you have a great time tonight."
She took a glass of red wine from the waiter and raised the glass gently to the people below. She behaved elegantly and had a light smile on her face, but she was in full bloom in an instant. This elegance wrapped in rich beauty makes this smile fragrant but not greasy, like green smoke lingering in people's minds for a long time.
The hotel waiter cleaned up the wine glasses dropped by the guests on the floor and replaced them with red wine. Everyone raised their glasses with Xia Shao, and she drank the wine in one gulp!
Everyone below cheered lowly, laughed and clapped. Xia Shao handed the empty wine glass to the waiter, then wrapped her shawl and bowed slightly to everyone before leaving.
But at this moment, Cao Li, who was standing at the front below, stretched out his hand.
His facial features could not be called handsome, but because of his clothes and the aloof demeanor he had developed from being in a high position for so many years, his gesture of extending his hand was quite gentlemanly and could not be refused.
"Mr. Xia." Cao Li smiled and stretched out his hand.
He expected that if he invited her in public, she would never let him lose face in public. As long as she puts her hand in his, she will be his tonight. In the following dance, as long as he is by his side, he believes that no one will dare to steal someone from him.
Cao Li smiled gentlemanly, waiting for Xia Shao to hand him her hand.
But, she didn't move.
She didn't move!
Cao Li was slightly stunned, and the people standing next to him were embarrassed for him.
Cao Li was naturally embarrassed. He frowned slightly and looked at Xia Shao. He didn't believe that she would embarrass him in front of everyone! But when he looked at it, he realized that she wasn't looking at him at all.
She raised her head, with a dazed look in her eyes, looking towards the door of the ball hall.
Cao Li was stunned, and everyone noticed Xia Shao's unusual reaction. Then they were stunned and turned their heads to follow her gaze.
At the door of the ball hall, a man stood there.
The man was dressed in a straight Major General uniform, with eyebrows as sharp as swords, a high nose, and pursed thin lips. His aura was lonely and indifferent, his eyes were as dark as night, and he looked straight at the girl wrapped in elegance and beauty on the stage, his eyes focused.
Immediately, he raised his feet and walked towards her.
The man stepped on the golden-red carpet, and his aura was like a cold and sharp blade hanging high, slashing down and scattering the crowd.
His steps were steady, his black leather shoes were as shiny as new, and his straight Major General uniform had no wrinkles at all! A golden-red carpet, when he walked on it, it was like stepping on a thorny battlefield. It was the posture of a true cold-blooded warrior, a murderous sword sharpened on the battlefield, and its aura was incompatible with this luxurious ballroom, so dazzling. Wherever they went, these upper-class celebrities who were accustomed to living a luxurious and comfortable life all retreated in panic, fearing that they would be injured by this man's sharp edge.
The only person standing still was the girl on the stage.
Her expression changed frequently as the man approached. It is the feeling of a girl, surprise, surprise, slight nervousness, and trembling expectation. Tonight, in the eyes of all the guests who were shocked, horrified and sighing in surprise, this calm, elegant, leisurely and calm girl showed an uneasy expression for the first time at this moment.
Xia Shao was really surprised and pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect Xu Tianyin to come. She didn't invite him tonight because she thought he wouldn't like this kind of occasion, so she just called him in the car on the way to the hotel. Unexpectedly...he actually came
Not only did he come, but... what he was wearing really surprised her.
He would come in military uniform
This was the first time she saw Xu Tianyin wearing clothes other than black. Originally, she thought the color of the military uniform would not suit him well, but she didn't expect it, it was so stunning! She never knew that there would be people in the world who could wear military uniforms so handsomely! It's as if this suit of clothing was born to suit him. It fits so well, so straight, and has such a murderous and cold demeanor. This is what a major general is!
Uniform temptation, Xia Shao finally understood the meaning of this word at this moment.
Her eyes were filled with surprise, but the guests at the ball were also surprised.
This man has a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing. You can tell he is an extraordinary person at a glance! Moreover, what is going on with his military uniform? This, this military rank... looks like a major general!
Major general rank, so young
The guests looked at each other in private. In Qingshi, such a young military official with such a face, isn't it... that person
Which one
The newly appointed commander of the provincial military region.
I heard that this person’s surname was Xu, and his family background was extremely suspicious. It was rumored that he was the grandson of the old man from the Republic!
It is said that he has been performing missions for the country abroad since he was fifteen years old. He has made great military achievements for ten years and only recently returned to the country. As soon as he comes back, he will be given the rank of major general, the position of commander, and take over the provincial military division!
However, this is just a rumor. No one came out to confirm, mainly because basically no one had seen the true appearance of this young major general commander. He was not sociable and never attended gatherings of the upper class. It is said that on the day he took office, even Secretary Yang of the Provincial Party Committee wanted to give him a hand, but he refused.
He didn't even give Secretary Yang face, and his surname was Xu. He had such a high military rank at such a young age, which aroused a lot of speculation.
Could it be that the person arriving tonight is...
Everyone looked at Xu Tianyin. At this time, someone in the quiet crowd shouted in surprise, "Commander Xu, Commander Xu?"
Although the sound was small, it shocked everyone. A group of people turned their heads in unison, looking for the source of the sound!
Hu Guangjin opened his mouth and was startled by the sudden attention from everyone. What are you all looking at him doing? He is not familiar with Commander Xu either! To put it into detail, he had never even spoken to him. He only heard this from his daughter.
"He, he is the commander of the provincial military region?" Miao Chenghong was stunned. He didn't know about this. When he saw Xu Tianyin in the hospital that day, he stayed with Xia Shao and remained silent. And he was worried about his daughter, so he didn't ask about his identity at all.
"Is he really the commander?" Xiong Huaixing stared at Xu Tianyin. When he was seeing Mr. Xia off from the Zhu family's ancestral grave that day, he saw Xu Tianyin driving a car waiting for him in front of a French restaurant. At that time, he noticed the car with the license plate of the headquarters, and met him in Furuixiangli the next day. When Xu Tianyin arrived, it wasn't that he didn't want to know his identity, but Mr. Xia obviously didn't want to introduce him and only said that he was her senior brother. He just thought about the long days to come and didn't ask any more questions. how? His guess was correct, was he really the commander of the provincial military region
"Lao Hu, do you know Commander Xu? Is he, is he that one?" Xiong Huaixing's voice was already loud, but even though he was suppressing business, in this quiet dance hall, the people around him could hear him clearly.
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to Hu Guangjin, who looked at him with a bitter smile, "I don't know this! I know that this is indeed the commander of the Provincial Military Region. I really don't know the rest!" My daughter only found out about this when she met Commander Xu when she went out to eat with Mr. Xia."
Everyone was surprised and a little disappointed. Although Hu Guangjin didn't know it, at least one thing was proven. The man who came to the dance in front of him was really the commander of the provincial military division!
How did he and Mr. Xia know each other
The group of people looked back again. At this time, Xu Tianyin was already standing in front of Xia Shao. He stared at her with his dark eyes and handed the flowers in his arms to her in public.
This flower was still a combination of roses and lilies, and it could be seen that it was produced by that flower shop. But facing the man's serious gaze, Xia Shao felt that the bouquet in front of her was so moved. She stretched out her hand to take it, like a treasure. He held it in his arms and smiled softly.
With that smile and her soft and affectionate temperament, anyone could see that she was very happy.
Her happy look fell into the eyes of Yuanze who was sitting in the leisure area opposite. The young man lowered his eyes slightly, and the smile on his lips was slightly unpleasant. Her appearance also fell in the eyes of Yang Qi beside him. He also lowered his eyes gently, sighed silently, stepped back with a smile, and quietly got off the stage.
Chen Manguan, Sun Changde and Ma Xianrong, who were standing behind Xia Shao, also quietly walked down together, but the looks they exchanged with each other were equally shocked.
Sun Changde had never met Xu Tianyin and had no idea that Xia Shao knew him. Chen Manguan had seen him in Fu Ruixiang's store, and Ma Xianrong had also seen him in the store. But both of them only knew that he was Xia Shao's senior brother, but they didn't know that his true identity was the commander of the provincial military division!
If Mr. Xia’s senior brother really has the family background as rumored, then, that would be incredible!
The three of them glanced at Xu Tianyin and walked off the stage. Xia Shao was the only one left on the stage, holding a bouquet and smiling quietly. The man in front of her looked at her. Seeing that she was happy, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, smiled slightly, and looked softly.
When he smiled, the female companions brought by the guests all gasped - this man knows how to laugh! He smiled... so charming!
At this time, Xu Tianyin had already extended his hand in the audience. His gesture was not that gentlemanly, he just extended his hand, direct and natural. Set against the straight Major General uniform, he has a sword-like sharpness and a natural bearing. As if he should be so direct, those gentlemanly gestures would only damage his temperament.
Xia Shao smiled, and everyone was paying attention at this moment, but she smiled and put her hand into his palm.
Cao Li had long since retracted his hand, but he still looked embarrassed at this moment. He squinted his eyes. If Cheng Yaojin, who had come out halfway, was someone else, he would definitely not spare him tonight, but why did it happen to be him
In Qing Province, except for two people, there is no one else that Cao Li cannot offend! As for these two people, one is Yan Longyuan and the other is Xu Tianyin!
Yan Longyuan was there before, but Xu Tianyin just landed recently. Others don't know his family background, but he knows it clearly! Who said his brother-in-law was Yang Hongxuan, secretary of the provincial party committee
Cao Li has not encountered such a nail for many years since Yang Hongxuan took office. He felt as if he had been slapped in the face in public, as if the eyes of the guests around him were all staring at him. If he doesn't get his face back, these people might laugh at him behind his back!
But Cao Li also heard from his brother-in-law Yang Hongxuan that Xu Tianyin had a lonely temperament and did not like to socialize with others. Just when he was thinking about how to come forward to say hello naturally, Xia Shao had already walked down holding Xu Tianyin's arm.
She didn't expect so many things to happen at tonight's Christmas ball. Seeing the guests being shocked, she felt a little embarrassed as the organizer, and then said: "Drinks and meals have been prepared for you at the ball. , and I hope everyone has a great time tonight.”
After saying that, she bowed slightly to the guests around her.
The guests were very interested in Xu Tianyin's background, but they didn't find out. Although they were a little worried, they still couldn't ask directly. After all, this was at a dance held by someone else, so it seemed impolite to do so. Moreover, if this young commander had the family background they suspected, clinging to him so tightly would undoubtedly offend him.
Tonight, there was still something gained. At least, I met this young commander who never attended any upper-class social balls.
As for his family background, as long as he is still serving in the province, the truth will eventually come to light.
Regarding what Huaxia Group announced tonight, everyone did not deny Xia Shao's face at this time. Seeing her say this, they quickly agreed with a smile, saying that they would enjoy themselves, and then pretended to get the wine glasses and exchange greetings. Laughed.
Seeing Xia Shao accompanying Xu Tianyin, everyone surrounded the three generals of the Huaxia Group and came forward with a smile to toast and congratulate them.
Xia Shao took Xu Tianyin's arm and walked towards the leisure area.
At this time, Yuan Ze, Liu Xianxian, Hu Jiayi and Miao Yan were already standing on the sofa in the leisure area. The four of them didn't know why they stood up. Perhaps they were shocked by Xia Shao's announcement tonight, which made them feel that such an achievement was worth standing up to welcome, so they stood up naturally.
"The dance has started over there. Why don't you go dance? Are you just going to sit like this all night?" Xia Shao came over and sat down and said.
"Ahem!" Hu Jiayi coughed, pulled the two girls on the left and right, and smiled at Xia Shao, "Okay, we won't be light bulbs. This place is left to you, let's go and dance!"
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She didn't mean it like this, but she knew that these friends must be shocked tonight, so she came over and made a casual opening remarks. Unexpectedly, this girl misinterpreted her meaning.
Miao Yan nodded, agreeing with Hu Jiayi's words.
Yuanze looked at the two people sitting together. Xu Tianyin took the flower from Xia Shao's arms and put it on the coffee table. As soon as the flower was taken away, the two people's arms were still linked together. The young man looked at the scene with a smile on his lips, but there was a slight pain in his eyes.
Although, I knew it would be like this. When she founded Huaxia, he could tell that the two of them might not be from the same world. However, as a friend, he couldn't help but get closer, and get closer...
Tonight, after hearing about another big deal from Huaxia Group, he knew that she would go higher and further in the future. She will meet someone who is waiting for her at a higher place, and it is also suitable for her to have a strong man accompany her. But... he was a little unconvinced! Although I just found out that Xu Tianyin is actually the commander of the provincial military division! Others don't know his family background. His father is the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. How could he not hear him talk about it at home
I didn’t expect that he had such a profound family background! But... I can't choose my origin, and his family background is not bad either. Give him ten years, and when he is his age, he may not be unworthy of being by her side.
However, God did not give him these ten years. He met her when he was the same age as her, she was already there, and he was still there. Therefore, her Mr. Right is not him.
At this moment, the young man who was still very ignorant about feelings finally understood why love must be met at the right time and with the right person in order to blossom and bear fruit.
He met the right person, but not at the right time.
The young man lowered his eyes, feeling a little sour at this moment. He looked at Xu Tianyin with complicated eyes. Watching him lower his head and ask her if she had eaten anything tonight, and then after hearing that she had not eaten, he took away the champagne glass in her hand and asked the waiter to bring warm water. He stood up and looked at the buffet at the ball, and personally selected a few items for her. Then he sat back next to her, dragged the melon and fruit plate in front of him, and specially peeled peanuts and pine nuts for her to nourish her stomach.
Seeing the girl enjoying it with a smile, the boy frowned slightly.
Can he really give her happiness? His family background is very prominent, but the problem lies in the prominence. He also comes from an official family, and he has understood the differences between these families ever since. Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have been inseparable, but in the eyes of officials, businessmen are always inferior. If she were to marry into an official family in the future, given her achievements, it would be very right for her to marry into a family like mine. But if she marries into Xu Tianyin's family, then in the eyes of the world, she is probably not worthy of him.
In his eyes, there is no one who is not worthy of her! But she didn't want the world to look at her in that worldly way. Will this man really not let her be bothered by these rumors
The Yuanze boy frowned, but then he relaxed his brows quickly. He seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
yes! Sometimes, the secular world can test love. Let time test whether Xu Tianyin is suitable for her, and let time test whether he can be worthy of her!
Anyway, at her age, it's still too early for her to get married. Maybe, God still gives him time. He can work hard! When she gets married, he will also achieve something. Who is the most suitable person for her? It's still not clear yet!
We’ll see!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Yuanze's eyes again, and he even raised his eyebrows, casting a provocative look at Xu Tianyin that only men understand. He looked at Xia Shao and asked with a smile: "You are the organizer, so you just let the guests dance? Why should you be the one to lead the dance? What do you think, do you want to go dancing?"
Xia Shao was stunned and raised her head. This guy invited her to dance
Xu Tianyin also raised his eyes and looked at Yuanze. The two had a grudge against Apple in the hospital, and when their eyes met, they cracked silently.
Liu Xianxian unexpectedly slapped Yuan Ze, "What are you talking about! It's time for Commander Xu and Shao Zi to dance for us!"
When Liu Xianxian was in the hospital last time, he deliberately used Yuanze to trouble Xu Tianyin, but why is he so reasonable tonight? Little did he know that she was also making things difficult for Xu Tianyin. No matter how you look at it, this man doesn't look like the kind of person who can dance. I wonder if it would be funny if he danced
Xia Shao glanced at Liu Xianxian and immediately knew what this girl had in mind. She looked at her with a smile, "Okay, come on. I'm not leading the dance, and the dance has started. If you want to dance, go ahead. If you don't want to go, just sit down and chat."
Liu Xianxian bit her lip and refused to let her go, "Don't tell me you can't do it! The chairman of the dignified Huaxia Group can't even dance ballroom dancing. Don't you think it's embarrassing? If you can't, just follow me. I teach you!"
Xia Shao looked at her and smiled. She didn't know how to dance, but she knew how to dance ballroom. After all, in her previous life in the company, there was always dancing and entertainment, so how could she not do it? But she didn't go, just because Xu Tianyin was afraid that he wouldn't be able to, and because of his temperament, she was already surprised to be able to come to today's dance. Asking him to dance? That's impossible!
Seeing that Xia Shao just smiled and said nothing, Liu Xianxian became more and more courageous as he fought. He wanted to say something, but Hu Jiayi called Miao Yan and dragged her away. When leaving, I naturally didn’t forget to grab Yuan Ze.
In the leisure area, only Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin were sitting. He lowered his head to peel pine nuts for her, but Xia Shao looked at him with a smile.
Keep looking, keep looking, until you see the man raise his eyes and ask: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at senior brother looking handsome in military uniform." Xia Shao teased him with a smile.
As expected, the man paused in his movements and turned his head slightly, not sure if it was awkwardness or something else. After a while, he turned back and asked, "Do you like it?"
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows when she heard this and quickly waved her hand, "He is handsome, but I didn't ask you to wear this every time you come to see me." She knew his temperament, but this man didn't understand it at all. Romantic, he only sent flowers because the first time he sent them, he saw her happy, and then he kept sending them, and he sent them three times, always this bouquet of flowers. Although she doesn't care about this, she can guarantee that as long as she says she likes him, he will definitely wear military uniform when he sees her in the future.
Seeing her say this, Xu Tianyin nodded.
Xia Shao was a little curious, "Senior brother, why did you think of wearing this when you come over tonight?" He didn't seem to be such a high-profile person.
He lowered his head and continued peeling pine nuts. He handed the peeled handful to her and replied calmly: "Business, just got back."
Xia Shao smiled and showed an expression that was indeed true. But then the smile on her face warmed slightly, thinking that if he came over, he must think that tonight was a big day for her and wanted to come and congratulate her. But I had business again, so I came here in a hurry. I had time to buy flowers, but no time to change my clothes.
She could see that tonight's guests were very interested in Xu Tianyin's family background. Although it was not exposed in the end, she was afraid that the shock and suspicion would still be considerable.
This is nothing to China, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Although she never thought about getting any benefits from Xu Tianyin, as long as the two people were together was exposed, it would inevitably lead to such a result. This result, whether she wants it or not, is bound to happen. As for senior brother's family... I'm afraid they won't be willing, right
After all, in the eyes of officials, businessmen are always inferior. Although she never felt that she was inferior to others, she could not help others feeling this way.
She had known that her senior brother had a prominent family background, but she had never asked about it. Firstly, I felt it was inconvenient to ask, and secondly, I didn’t really care. She has always felt that emotion is the most important thing between two people. Realistic things have their reasons for existence, but if reality becomes an obstacle, it only proves that feelings are not enough.
In this life, she can live a good life even without feelings. But if love comes, she hopes that it will be pure and not disturbed by worldly vision and concepts. She just wants the two of them to be together and have peace of mind with each other.
Unable to help but think further and further, Xia Shao remained silent. Xu Tianyin felt the change in her breath and raised his eyes to look at her. Although he was taciturn, he was extremely perceptive and seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance. His eyes darkened slightly and he reached out to hold her hand.
"It's not what you think. Those people are not important. I will handle it."
He suddenly spoke, leaving Xia Shao stunned.
"Grandpa is not." Xu Tianyin explained, his eyes fixed on her.
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows, a little surprised at this man's keenness, he could see through everything she was thinking. But the smile on her face was a little weird—what grandpa wasn’t! I know you speak concisely, but can't you say one more word
One less word will sound weird, okay
"I know, your grandpa is not." Xia Shao smiled, immediately relaxed, and joked, "It's too early to consider these things now. Senior brother, you should continue your pursuit plan."
When he heard her say he understood, the man should have nodded slightly, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly. For some reason, he always felt awkward hearing this. He thought for a while, found the reason for the awkwardness, looked down at her, and corrected, "Grandpa."
Xia Shao raised her eyes and met the man's eyes. She was speechless, but a smile broke out on her face, "I understand, can we not discuss grandpa's problem here?"
Xia Shao's "grandpa" was just a noun title, but Xu Tianyin nodded when he heard her call him that.
Xia Shao raised her eyes and looked at the dance floor. She couldn't always stay with Xu Tianyin here. Although Chen Manguan, Sun Changde and Ma Xianrong were there, she should still move around and perform the required etiquette. So she stood up and let Xu Tianyin sit here for a while. She took a glass of champagne from the waiter and walked into the crowd.
Seeing her coming, a group of guests naturally greeted her with smiles. While praising and complimenting her, they couldn't help but make insinuations about the relationship between her and Xu Tianyin, and asked about Xu Tianyin's family background in a subtle way.
Xia Shao naturally avoided the topic by doing Tai Chi. Everyone took turns, but no one could ask the question, which was surprising. Secretly I feel that this girl is really not simple! This ability to speak is really impeccable!
"Mr. Xia."
At this time, someone called Xia Shao from behind. Xia Shao turned around and saw that it was Yan Longyuan.
"Mr. Xia took a step to speak." Yan Longyuan was obviously worried.
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and walked to a more remote place naturally as he chatted. Then he smiled and asked, "If you have anything to do, Boss Yan, just tell me."
Yan Longyuan coughed, "It's not my business, it's our responsibility." As he said this, he glanced at Xu Tianyin who was sitting in the leisure area. Seeing that his eyes were always following Xia Shao, he didn't care and instead looked at him. .
"Are you in charge?" Xia Shao asked with raised eyebrows.
"It's like this. Although our head can't come tonight, he asked me to bring a congratulatory gift to Mr. Xia. Our head said that Mr. Xia doesn't like to be high-profile, so he asked me to congratulate him in private. He asked me to give this gift to him in private. Mr. Xia." Yan Longyuan said as he took out a small box from his arms.
The box is not big, it looks like the size of a ring box. Xia Shao raised her eyebrows, naturally knowing that it couldn't be a ring, but she didn't expect that Gong Muyun would prepare a gift for her.
She couldn't help but think of that humble and elegant man, and she smiled when she heard his delicate thoughts.
Although the other party took her temperament and preferences into consideration and did not give it to her in public, his thoughtfulness made her reluctant to accept it.
She had no choice but to take it, open it, and see a pair of exquisite pearl earrings in the box. The color is milky white, with a faint silver light, and the earring style is simple and feminine.
Xia Shao was also a good judge of goods, and he knew at a glance that these pair of pearls were worth a lot of money judging from their size. The most important thing is that its style is very suitable for you, without any decoration, the most natural posture.
She smiled slightly and accepted it politely, "Thank you for me, Master. I'll call you and say thank you in person another day."
Yan Longyuan nodded slightly and smiled. Before leaving, he glanced at Xu Tianyin again, but when he turned around, he lowered his eyes - these earrings were picked out by the head of the family himself. Mr. Xia's expression did not look as happy as when he saw the bouquet of flowers. Although I accepted the call, it was just to be polite. Tsk! No, you have to call the manager to report it.
Xia Shao held the thing in her hand, took the wine glass and entered the dance floor again. She accepted the congratulations from the guests and met many high-ranking figures in the province along the way.
The dance lasted until ten o'clock in the evening. When it ended, Xia Shao went on stage to thank the guests who came tonight and invited everyone to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow. All the guests agreed, and then they left the hotel accompanied by Chen Manguan, Sun Changde and Ma Xianrong.
Xia Shao did not leave the hotel.
Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, so she will stay in the hotel tonight. First of all, she still had to wear a dress for the ribbon-cutting tomorrow, so she would leave directly from the hotel to avoid having to change again. Secondly, when she goes out tonight, reporters from the media will definitely swarm her and ask questions. They don't know anything about Huaxia and Shengxing yet, so there is no need to answer those questions. She believed that the guests tonight would tell the news to the media, and there would be a commotion. If she went out, she might not be able to leave tonight.
It’s better to just stay in the hotel and start from here tomorrow.
Xia Shao was still wearing a cheongsam, and her room had been opened long ago. She went directly upstairs to rest.
But, can she really go upstairs and rest
Xia Shao turned around outside the room and stared dimly at the man behind her who had followed him even though he had opened a new room.
The man also looked at her, his eyes deep, falling on the box she had been holding in her hand.
