There is still a long period of time before next weekend, and during this period Ye Shuang doesn't want to go back to have close contact with Ebner, so she stays in Chaohai City first. On the day when she turned back into Shuangmei, she ran to Jinghu City.
A group of young masters and ladies in Jinghu City expressed their warm welcome to Shuangmei's return. Although it has been gone for so long, the celebrity circle here is the first dungeon that Shuangmei has put in the effort to brush up. The energy and acting skills invested It is also the most, and the effect is naturally not comparable to that of other cities.
"It's been a long time since I saw you. Ms. Ye is still in style."
Mr. Lu held his wine glass and greeted Ye Shuang who was sitting opposite him with a smile. Although the others wanted to come over and have a chat, they knew that Mr. Lu didn't want to be disturbed at this time, so they wisely left Ye Shuang and the other two. a separate space.
"Thank you." Ye Shuang turned his eyes to another focal point in the club surrounded by a group of people, and asked with interest: "It seems that there is no shortage of rookies here, and those two seem to have never seen it before?"
Mr. Lu glanced at Ye Shuang's line of sight, and chuckled: "It's just passers-by, everyone is just showing their friendship as landlords. Those two are foreign investors, and they are very famous, but not well-known... Ms. Ye may not be very old." Understand the situation, but it's better not to deal with them."
Great reputation, bad reputation... This evaluation is interesting.
There are also many people with bad reputations in the celebrity circle, but the public figures in this circle are not as exposed to the spotlight all the year round as in the entertainment circle. If it is just a little thing, it is naturally not a problem. It can be said that the reputation is not good. Well, and it is still a bad reputation that is widely spread, unless it is true that the private life is relatively corrupt or the person himself has a bad reputation to a certain extent.
For example, An Zixun can also say that he has a bad reputation. People in the circle once raised his topic. But this topic was only spread in Shanlin City, because what An Zixun did had not yet affected other provinces. In other words, if he could spread his bad reputation across the country, then this person's net worth and bad deeds must be equally famous.
Just as he was talking, the two people who were surrounded by the crowd over there also came over. Firstly, it was because of Mr. Lu's status in Jinghu City, and secondly, he probably heard Ye Shuang's fame from the crowd just now.
Mr. Lu stood up to meet him, put on a polite smile to stop the two people from greeting him, and blocked one of them from peeping at Ye Shuang.
After the three of them exchanged a few polite words, when they sat down again, Mr. Lu naturally sat next to Ye Shuang. Putting his arm on the back of the latter's sofa, he introduced to the two with a smile: "This is Miss Ye Shuang... What did you two want to talk about just now?"
The introduction was only halfway, and there was no intention of continuing to introduce the other two to Ye Shuang. Coupled with his posture at this time, when combined together, it released a meaning of please keep your distance.
The two who had just sat down looked at each other. When he turned back again, the presumptuous and eager look just now had subsided, and his tone was more serious and polite: "It's nothing serious, I just want to ask Mr. Lu and Ms. Ye if they have any plans to go to Chaohai City for vacation together?"
If it's just an ordinary celebrity, the two of course have nothing to worry about, but if it's someone who is valued by the leader of a province, it's not the level they can make a move.
Although these two played very high, it's not that they don't know the truth when enough is enough.
Ye Shuang just came from Chaohai City. Naturally sensitive to this place name, his eyes turned slightly and he glanced at Mr. Lu with a smile. The latter explained with a smile: "Is it a cruise party? That is indeed a special feature of Chaohai City. I heard that it will be held every year, and celebrities from all over the country will be invited... The key is that celebrities who can afford to spend four days and three nights of carnival together, the sponsor is a member of the wealthy club in Chaohai City, but seriously, the main leader should be Zhuo Yuanhang of the Four Seas Group."
Ye Shuang had never played such a high-end party, but it was not difficult to pick up the topic. So he said with a smile: "Young Master Zhuo is famous for being strict with law, it's hard for me to imagine him participating in the carnival."
really. The other three people present had also heard about Zhuo Yuanhang's deeds, and they laughed tacitly. In particular, the eyes of the two people who just came here became more dignified. They probably felt that Ye Shuang's status was higher than they expected, so they were more polite: "The development of Chaohai City is based on the foreign economy. What? Fruit?! Seafood?! It’s not surprising, even if Zhuo Yuanhang doesn’t play by himself, he is a shrewd businessman, so he naturally knows how to arrange things to the best. We don’t need to think about it after eating eggs What a hen looks like."
The other of the two answered: "Yeah, in fact, it's good to go and relax. Apart from the fact that the invitation letter is hard to get, there are quite a lot of things to play after going up. Celebrities and beauties gather... Cough! Sorry, I forgot Lu Young Master already has someone he likes."
Just halfway through speaking, he was bumped lightly by his companion, so the man quickly changed his words, apologized and looked at Ye Shuang to indicate who the "favorite" was.
Mr. Lu didn't explain, he raised his wine glass with a smile to signal to the two of them, and then they continued to chat.
"Actually, it's good for Mr. Lu to take Ms. Ye to relax. The party this time won't be too much. I heard that Zhuo Yuanhang will also hold his daughter's birthday party. Mrs. Zhuo and her child are on the cruise ship. Zhuo Yuanhang's invitation list this time definitely doesn't include anyone who goes too far."
Mr. Lu was about to open his mouth to say something, but Ye Shuang nodded with a smile: "Yes, I heard that Ms. Zhuo's birthday will be next Sunday?! I just didn't hear that it was on a cruise ship... So this cruise party I will I will also go to participate, just received the invitation letter... "
Where there is Ebner, there is Han Chu, and where there is Han Chu, there may be Antonis... Although Ye Shuang's two identities have been registered in front of these people, her original gender identity is always safer.
Ye Shuang didn't think about it too much at first, but since Zhuo Yuanhang's so-called "birthday party" is of such a scale, of course it is safer for Shuangmei, who has detailed files from childhood to adulthood, and it is not easy to be on the cruise ship. draw too much attention.
The other three were slightly taken aback, and the two who were trying to figure out how to get this invitation letter because of their poor performance in the industry were even more surprised.
Mr. Lu thought for a while: "If I have time, I might go and have a look."
So now the situation is obvious, the only person who has been confirmed to have an invitation letter is Ye Shuang, and there is no invitation letter yet. But there is one person who can easily get the qualification if he wants to go, Lu Shaoyue.
There are also two other people who have to work hard to get the invitation letter...
Seeing Ye Shuang tasting and sniffing the wine, and occasionally chatting with Mr. Lu with a low chuckle, the two of them who had other thoughts before they came didn't even have the slightest desire to presume.
After chatting casually for a while, the two left the seats of Mr. Lu and Ye Shuang before wiping off their sweat at the same time. Looking at each other and smiling wryly, this time almost kicked a big piece of iron.
Who said that woman had no power or power before? !
…
Ye Shuang chatted with Mr. Lu for a while, and then he heard the suppressed voice of anger from a corner of the club. Originally, she didn't want to care about this kind of quarrel, but after listening to a few words, Ye Shuang found that the quarrel seemed to have something to do with herself.
So after listening to the whole thing with interest, Ye Shuang couldn't help laughing. It seems that she does not have a luxury car to travel in and out, and her posture of not wearing any expensive jewelry still attracts the attention of many people.
Although it can also be said to be a matter of personal taste and personality, but who told her to get acquainted with Lu Shaoyue quickly again.
Originally, this kind of mentality of comparing and slandering each other between the same sex, especially between the same sex where one party regards the other as a competitor, is natural, even if there is nothing wrong with the person. Others will find out the problem by being critical, not to mention that Ye Shuang's net worth provides people with a lot of room to attack...
Seeing that Ye Shuang didn't know what to think, Mr. Lu laughed, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking, so interesting?"
"It's nothing." Ye Shuang looked at Lu Shaoyue with emotion and meaningfully: "I just found out that I suddenly attracted the attention of those two people just now. Maybe it was because Mr. Lu's city gate caught fire that I was in trouble."
Lu Shaoyue subconsciously patrolled the positions of the two people in the arena just now, and after a while, he saw them in a corner booth, and there was a woman with delicate features opposite them.
It is different from the delicate and soft beauty of Ye Shuang. This woman's facial features are not very outstanding, what makes her special is her scholarly temperament.
Lu Shaoyue frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed. He turned his gaze away as if he didn't care, and smiled apologetically, "I probably know why those two people came to ask about the cruise party."
"Appreciate further details?"
When Ye Shuang heard her name being mentioned during the conversation in that corner, the woman looked up in this direction with confusion and disbelief, but Lu Shaoyue didn't look at the woman again: "That's Mrs. Zhuo's sister. , It’s not a relative, it seems to be a cousin... Her father is a professor of Qing history. She is well-known in China and was invited to appear on a national TV program. That’s why she is eligible to attend our party, but she is not conspicuous.”
Being able to party is one thing. But just because you are famous outside does not mean that you can still occupy a prominent position in the club where celebrities gather.
The key is to look at the comparison. For example, a provincial champion in science is very good, right? But if the champion is squeezed into the top domestic schools, how many "provincial" champions are there in the country? ! What about the No. 2 prospect after these No. 1 picks? You are the champion only this year, so last year, the year before last, and the coming next year and the year after next, wouldn't it be gone? !
Things are rare and expensive, and no one dares to say that they can guarantee their status anywhere. The important thing is to look at the average level and your grade in this average level.
Ye Shuang nodded: "That lady seems to like Mr. Lu very much?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have pushed those two people to come and get in touch with him just now. As far as Ye Shuang had heard the information from the crowd in the club, the reputation of the two people just now was really not good.
Heavy-tasting parties, drug use, promiscuity, spending money to promote celebrities... It’s no exaggeration to say that private life is corrupt. It’s okay if such a person has status and can hold them down, but if they are not strong enough, they fall in love with the other party. If it is the list of hunting beauty, then it will definitely be entangled in the future.
Even if the other party still has the bottom line principle and won't use any strong means to do things like a bully, but if you are entangled with such two notorious people for a period of time, no matter how good your reputation is, you may not be innocent.
"Probably." Lu Shaoyue said while drinking champagne, with a look of complete indifference: "But the girls trained by Mrs. Zhuo's family... Heh, anyway, I can't accept it."
Ye Shuang nodded to express her understanding, and sighed: "I also feel that we may have poor communication with her."
For example, Mrs. Zhuo, who I met once before, is the best example. There was also the way that the woman led two men with bad reputations to find her "knowledge" method, which even gave Ye Shuang the illusion of traveling through the harem.
Most of these people are very persistent in the concept of education they have received, and firmly believe that the experience they have learned from their elders is rare wisdom.
In a nutshell, Ye Shuang felt that these people were a bit out of touch with the modern society, at first glance they looked ancient and elegant. In fact, it feels out of place when you taste it carefully.
After getting acquainted with friends in Jinghu City for a round, Ye Shuang waved goodbye to everyone and went back to the hotel.
During this period of time, in addition to consolidating and stabilizing the circle of potential customers he had developed, Ye Shuang took out the information of Mrs. Zhuo's family and studied it by the way.
Mrs. Zhuo's natal family was not well-known, and occasionally there were two well-known scholars, or girls who married celebrities. Among the younger generation who have grown up recently, Mrs. Zhuo has the highest status, because she successfully married Zhuo Yuanhang.
But other than that, if it is to say that Mrs. Zhuo's natal family has any status in the celebrity circle, it really seems a bit thin-they don't have the skills and industries handed down by the family. There is no inscription that can represent the image of the family, and the only feature is a family tree that proves that he has the blood of the last royal family.
To save face, this family can be said to be a scholarly family, aristocratic family. But if you don't give face, it's like yesterday's yellow flower, or a very hypocritical yellow flower.
After reading the information, Ye Shuang forgot about these people. Anyway, if you don't know each other well, it's impossible to have friendship. Everyone's personality is really not the type to associate with.
Hang around in Jinghu City for a few days. When he returned to Chaohai City after changing back to Brother Shuang, An Zixun had already gone back to Shanlin City.
Zhuo Feiyang was very happy to come to find someone, under his elder brother's coercion. It's really hard for this unlucky kid to find someone who is willing to play with him and won't be mean to him.
Originally, there was only one You Yang, but later on it was rare to meet a fun partner. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to set up a trick to make him addicted to gambling.
So after being pulled back, the lonely Zhuo Feiyang's already strong vigilance increased by more than one level. After a rough calculation, only one Brother Shuang could communicate. So when I heard that the man was back again, I was so happy and hurried to cut my beard.
"Brother Ye. Why weren't you here a while ago." Zhuo Feiyang drove You Yang over to pick him up, and he couldn't wait to ask while driving: "At first, I told Xiao Yang to go to the yacht with you, but turned around and you It disappeared. When I asked that person, he said that you have a job and have left Chaohai... "
"I'm not from Chaohai City." Ye Shuang sat helplessly in the back seat, and explained with a smile: "I have a business trip these days, so I stayed in other cities for a few days, and your affairs have been arranged. What are you staying for?"
"What about my niece's birthday party this weekend?" Zhuo Feiyang still didn't give up: "When the time comes, my brother is going to have a party on the cruise ship. Isn't that master gambler coming too, won't you join us?"
Ye Shuang shook her head: "My partner and her friends came together for that cruise party. The God of Gamblers you're talking about is Ebner? At that time, it's enough for my partner to watch. I have other things to do."
Zhuo Feiyang suddenly drooped his head and didn't even want to grab the steering wheel, and You Yang also looked disappointed: "We haven't seen your partner before, what's so interesting."
It's better if it's not fun... Ye Shuang raised the corners of her lips and smiled, turned her head to look out the car window and stopped talking.
…
That night, I had dinner at Zhuo Feiyang's father's house, which was a small family party.
In addition to Zhuo Yuanhang's specially arranged itinerary to bring his wife and children with him, there are also some relatives and friends of the Zhuo family who have a good time, such as members of You Yang's family.
Originally, Ye Shuang should not be counted among relatives and friends, but she just happened to meet her, and she had "business" contacts with the Four Seas Group recently, so it was impossible not to receive the invitation.
Generally speaking, there are quite a lot of guests anyway. In a large villa, apart from the chef and servants, there can be about thirty or forty people present.
Before the dinner was announced, Ye Shuang strolled around the courtyard with a plate of small cakes. Before she had a long time to relax, a servant came over and bowed: "Mr. Ye, our old man wants to see you."
"You old gentlemen?" Ye Shuang licked the butter on the fork, looked carefully at the servant, and chuckled: "Today, there are four or five old gentlemen, which one are you talking about?"
The maid blushed a little and didn't dare to look at Ye Shuang: "It's Mr. Zhuo. The father of the eldest son Zhuo Yuanhang and the second son Zhuo Feiyang."
"Do you know why he wants to see me?" Ye Shuang asked after eating the cake and throwing the paper into the trash can beside her.
"I don't know." The maid showed a sorry expression, as if she really felt guilty for not being able to answer Ye Shuang's doubts.
Ye Shuang thought for a while, and beckoned to Zhuo Feiyang who was not far away.
Zhuo Feiyang talked to the friends who were chatting, and then trotted over with You Yang: "Brother Ye, what's the matter?"
"I have something to do." Ye Shuang nodded: "Didn't you say that your dad wanted to see me last time?! He asked someone to invite me this time. I don't think it's because of your trip to the casino?"
It has been many days since Zhuo Feiyang entered the casino, even if Mr. Zhuo was worried at first, he wanted to find an insider to ask the details. But after such a long time, he probably already understood what he wanted to know thoroughly, so why insist on pulling Ye Shuang to "meet"? !
Zhuo Feiyang chatted with You Yang for a while. Scratching his head, he also looked at a loss: "I don't know, maybe my dad is more curious? Or maybe it's menopause."
"..." Ye Shuang looked at Zhuo Feiyang patiently, then turned back and nodded to the maid: "Please lead the way."
Mr. Zhuo is in the study on the second floor. Although it is said that the downstairs is a party, but the seniority and age of the old man. No one will force him to stay and greet guests from beginning to end.
Now the representative of the Zhuo family is Zhuo Yuanhang, and Mr. Zhuo is a mascot, so he only needs to be exhibited on major occasions, and his existence at other times is really meaningless.
The old man has a good complexion, hale and hearty, with a rosy face. He still doesn't have a big belly at such an age. Compared with most people in their thirties who have a beer belly, he is much better. Although his hair is gray. But it's not sparse, and it doesn't look haggard after aging at all.
The maid led Ye Shuang to knock on the door three times, and opened the door to enter after hearing the old man's voice. Judging from this detail, the old man is also very majestic at home. Even the guests he just invited by himself still have to be allowed to enter the door. Obviously, everyone respects and retreats to the old man at all times.
The maid brought Ye Shuang and left. The old man sat on the rocking chair on the balcony and looked at Ye Shuang with stern eyes. Ye Shuang smiled and nodded and walked in front of him naturally. After making a signal, he sat down, calmly picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea into the two cups with the old man's gaze on his face. The movements were undisturbed.
Three minutes later, Ye Shuang looked at the scenery outside the balcony and had already drank a cup of tea. Only then did the old man pick up his cup: "Young people have a good bearing."
"Thank you." If you open your mouth, I will reluctantly respond. Anyway, you are the one who calls people, and you are the one who talks. I don't know what you want to do, so I can watch it if I want to.
Ye Shuang's attitude is very good, and it's not that she wants something from others, so of course there is no need to be trembling.
The old man nodded, lowered his head, took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you think of my two sons?"
"What do you mean?" Ye Shuang was a little confused.
"My eldest son was educated by elites back then, and this concept was introduced from abroad." The old man started digressing without answering. Ye Shuang smiled calmly and was about to go crazy—he hates this kind of inexplicable extravagant money to show off. Unfathomable or second, the key is why I have to listen to what you say? !
She hasn't agreed to anything yet, and she doesn't want to agree to anything. The problem is that no matter what you think, she will explain the matter first. What can you do? The other party is quite old...
Ye Shuang could only patiently listen to the old man's nagging: "Yuanhang learned very hard when he was a child, but his education was very successful. His current achievements are beyond the reach of many of his peers. Unfortunately, it is precisely because of his childhood education that Yuan Hang's personality is also different from many of his peers. This is my failure, and I have always felt guilty about Yuan Hang, but what I didn't expect is that he now uses the same method to educate his children... "
