Chen Mo sat on the sofa holding a wine glass. From time to time, people would come over to chat and hand him their business cards. The self-introduction and conversation between the two parties were all insignificant nonsense.
This is not the first time Chen Mo has participated in this kind of entertainment. When someone says hello, just raise a glass and don't talk in depth. Pretending is still necessary.
Unconsciously, the slow music stopped and was replaced by dance music. The scene became lively, and everyone began to look for dance partners, and danced to the music when they entered the dance floor.
This kind of social drinking party is not only a banquet, but also a dance.
Dances allow people to communicate more closely. Compared with banquets, dances are richer and freer. Without the kind of communication between wine glasses that is limited to words, the dance party allows people to have more physical contact and shorten the distance between the two parties.
Physical contact will make both parties more willing to exchange some information about each other.
"Mr. Chen, why don't you invite your favorite partner to dance?"
On such occasions, men usually take the initiative to invite women to dance. Seeing Chen Mo's lack of movement, Xu Yan had no choice but to take the initiative to come over.
"I'm not very good at dancing. If I don't dance well, it would be embarrassing if I make a mistake if I invite others to dance." Chen Mo said with a shrug.
"So that's it." Xu Yanxin laughed, with a strange look in her eyes: "I didn't expect that there was something that Mr. Chen didn't know."
Chen Mo said: "I am not omnipotent."
"Then if I have a chance, do I invite you to dance? It's okay to make mistakes." Xu Yanxin caught a glimpse of other women who were about to make a move, and took the initiative to invite you.
Chen Mo did not refuse. Since this kind of occasion has come, he must respect the etiquette of this kind of occasion. He didn't take the initiative to invite, but Xu Yanxin said that for this reason, he couldn't refuse.
The other women saw this scene with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
Chen Mo was the object of their dreams, but now that someone had taken advantage of him, and his opponent was the impeccably excellent Xu Yanxin, they felt that their chances were even slimmer.
Xu Yanxin's beautiful eyes looked at Chen Mo who was just a short distance away, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. Her father asked her to come over, but she was reluctant. After learning that the other party was Chen Mo, Xu Yanxin came over.
After the observation just now, she gradually became interested in Chen Mo.
Chen Mo has a very calm and peaceful demeanor, and his words are casual and free, without trying to pretend to be a gentleman. This feeling was different from the men she had met before.
In the past, many men acted very polite and gentlemanly in front of her. Maybe it was because Chen Mo didn't come from a wealthy family, so he didn't have the graceful demeanor of a kid from a wealthy family. He was more casual, which attracted her very much.
Xu Yanxin's hand was placed on Chen Mo's shoulder. Their faces were very close to each other. She could clearly see every detail on Chen Mo's face. Calm, calm, and Chen Mo looked very serious at the moment.
It's just that his movements are a bit rigid, like a complete novice. It seems that Chen Mo is really a person who can't dance.
She didn't know that Chen Mo was thinking about steps and steps at this time.
All the movements he made now were imitated by relying on his strong memory and the movements of the people next to him. There was no naturalness at all and they were very rigid.
Fortunately, it was just a simple footwork, otherwise it would be impossible for Chen Mo to complete it.
When other people saw this scene, they also sighed in their hearts. They looked at Xu Jialin with a hint of admiration, and he was actually willing to use his own daughter to get close to Chen Mo.
Now Chen Mo is an upstart, and many people want to get close to him, but Chen Mo rarely participates in social activities, and ordinary people have no chance to get in touch with him. They finally had a chance tonight, but Xu Jialin took them ahead of them, which made them secretly resentful. With Chen Mo, a new star with unlimited potential, their future will definitely be as good as that of the Xu Group.
Xu Jialin, who was paying attention to the two people from a distance, had a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
He thinks that his daughter is good enough and winning over Chen Mo is not a problem. The next moment, the corners of Xu Jialin's mouth turned up slightly and he drank the drink in his hand.
Chen Mo focused on adapting to the dance steps and didn't pay attention to other people's eyes and reactions. To him, it was just an ordinary social gathering.
"Mr. Chen, in fact, in this kind of occasion, you don't have to focus on dancing. Whether you dance well or not is secondary. The main nature of ballroom dancing is to make friends." Xu Yanxin said: "I would like to ask, what kind of girl does Mr. Chen like? "
"hehe,… "
Just as Chen Mo was about to speak, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Xu Jialin, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."
A voice full of hatred broke the harmonious atmosphere of the entire hall. Everyone was startled by the sound and looked towards the source of the sound. I saw a woman, holding a table knife, rushing towards Xu Yanxin's back.
"careful."
Chen Mo's expression changed slightly, and he didn't have time to think too much. He took Xu Yanxin into his arms, raised his foot sideways, and swept the woman's arm firmly.
The woman groaned, lost her balance, and fell hard to the ground. The scene was chaotic.
"go to hell."
The woman grabbed the knife, got up from the ground again, and rushed towards Xu Yanxin at all costs. At least she didn't get close before she was kicked away by Chen Mo.
"Arrest people, are you stupid?"
Xu Jialin's roar woke everyone up. The security personnel on the scene rushed towards the woman and pinned her to the ground.
"Xu Jialin, you must be nice..."
Before the woman could finish her words, the security personnel covered her mouth and made her unable to move.
The whole process, from start to finish, takes less than half a minute. Many people didn't even see what was happening.
After subduing the woman, everyone looked at Chen Mo with surprise in their eyes. Just now, Chen Mo took action twice to protect Xu Yanxin. None of them expected that this influential figure could actually have such good skills.
Even Xu Yanxin, who was protected by Chen Mo behind her, was in shock at this time. She didn't expect that this would happen suddenly. When he looked at Chen Mo, there was a hint of sparkle in his eyes.
Many rich people's bodyguards had already appeared in the hall, looking at the surroundings seriously. Wang Hai had also appeared next to Chen Mo.
"Xiaoyan, are you okay?" Xu Jialin walked to Xu Yanxin, his face looking very ugly.
"It's okay. Fortunately, Mr. Chen saved me." Xu Yanxin said.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Xu Jialin said gratefully: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise my little girl would be in danger."
"It's just a little effort." Chen Mo looked at the woman who was pinned to the ground by the security personnel: "Who is she?"
"This woman is my secretary. I asked her to resign this morning. She may have a grudge for this matter and sneaked in in my name. Unexpectedly, she raised a white-eyed wolf and made everyone laugh." Xu Jialin said with a dark face , then looked at the woman on the ground: "Take her down first, don't ruin everyone's fun."
The woman was taken down, and the music in the hall started again, as if nothing had happened.
It's just impossible to pretend it didn't happen. They clearly saw that Chen Mo made two moves to save Xu Yanxin. That kind of skill was very fast and was completely practiced.
If Chen Mo hadn't taken action, no one would have known that the calm and peaceful Chen Mo was actually very skilled. This was the true secret.
The way everyone looked at Chen Mo was completely different, especially the girls from the rich family, who looked at Chen Mo with stars in their eyes. They all still remembered his handsome feet just now.
"Thank you so much just now. If it weren't for you, I might be in danger." Xu Yanxin walked towards Chen Mo again and solemnly thanked her.
"It's okay." Chen Mo shook his head gently.
Fortunately, he usually exercised, and the strength after developing his potential was not wasted. The woman had not practiced either, so he easily stopped her. Walking back to the sofa and sitting down, Chen Mo began to think about the details just now. What just happened felt a bit strange to him, but he couldn't explain why.
Not long after, Chen Mo got up and left the venue. After this happened, he had no interest in staying here anymore.
