Since the sweltering summer has entered, the sweltering heat and humidity for several days have made people feel even more depressed.
Su Zhengliang stood in the office, looking out the window at the gray sky, saying nothing.
"Teacher Su!" A brisk female voice sounded outside the door, bringing Su Zhengliang out of his daze.
Glancing at the person who came, it was his student Qin Feifei. Seeing the other person's smiling face, Su Zhengliang smiled helplessly and said, "Looking at you like this, I knew there was nothing good going on. What are you doing here?"
Qin Feifei handed Su Zhengliang a cup of coffee with a playful smile, "Teacher Su, tomorrow the Lin Group will hold a large cocktail party at the Regent Hotel, and I have to go over and help. Therefore, I have to ask for leave from tomorrow's class."
After hearing Qin Feifei's answer, Su Zhengliang's face changed slightly and he frowned in confusion, "Lin?"
"Yeah, I heard from my friends that it seems that the Lin family is going to hold a handover ceremony for the new president, and has invited many business elites and artists from the literary and art circles. The girl who originally played the piano was temporarily busy, so I went on her behalf."
Qin Feifei rolled her dark eyes, stuck out her red tongue playfully, and joked, "Teacher Su, don't you agree?"
Knowing that Qin Feifei said this deliberately, Su Zhengliang smiled bitterly and said, "Go, this is a good opportunity to practice."
Qin Feifei's delicate little face raised a slight smile, "Thank you, Teacher Su, I will leave first."
Su Zhengliang watched Qin Feifei leave the office happily and took a sip of the coffee in her hand. The strong bitter taste of the clear coffee instantly filled her entire mouth.
The mobile phone placed on the desk vibrated a few times. Su Zhengliang answered the phone. Professor Zheng's energetic voice came from the receiver, "Xiao Su, are you free tomorrow night?"
"Teacher, I'm free tomorrow night. If you have anything to do, please feel free to ask me."
"Tomorrow night is the ceremony for Xi Luo to succeed as president. He called me two days ago to invite me to attend. Unfortunately, I am out of town these days and can't make it back. The teacher would like to ask you to attend this reception on my behalf."
Su Zhengliang was very embarrassed when he heard Professor Zheng entrusting him with such a difficult task for him, "But Teacher, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Would it be unfair to ask an unknown person like me to do it for you?"
Is it appropriate?"
Professor Zheng thought for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then said, "In that case, let Shaoqi accompany you. It is most appropriate for Shaoqi's current status to attend the reception tomorrow night, and you can go with him as well."
Take this opportunity to get to know more seniors in the art world, which will also be of great help to your future development."
After thinking for a moment, Su Zhengliang looked slightly cold and said, "Teacher, I understand. I will tell Shaoqi soon."
Putting down the phone, Su Zhengliang fell into silence again.
********** At night, when the lanterns are on, the Regent Hotel, owned by the Lin Group in S City, is brightly lit and bustling with people, creating a lively scene.
Lin Xiluo's inauguration ceremony as President Lin was held as scheduled with unanimous attention from the media, business and even the literary and art circles.
Although there are many young talents in the major business families in S City, young people like Lin Xiluo with excellent leadership skills and astute business acumen are rare, and he has also contributed to promoting the development of S City.
A lot of efforts have been made to popularize art. Although everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Lin Xiluo became the new head of the Lin family, when that day came, people were still very hopeful and excited.
Except for one person.
Su Zhengliang drove the car anxiously, driving You Shaoqi on the bustling commercial street.
From a distance, he saw tonight's destination, the Regent Hotel. This luxury hotel was completed at the same time as Tailong International Plaza more than half a year ago. From its appearance to internal facilities, services and a series of supporting facilities, it is the best in S City.
It's one of the best.
When they walked to the hotel door and informed the waiter of their identity, they were allowed to enter and walked towards the hotel's banquet hall.
In the gorgeous grand banquet hall, the golden light is brilliant, and the large crystal lamp above the hall is shining, exuding a dazzling light. The carved wall with golden stripes is luxurious and elegant, and under the scattering of the crystal light, the wall is full of brilliance.
On the surface, paintings from various eras are hung in an orderly manner, with bright colors and lifelike colors.
There was still a short time before the succession ceremony officially started. When the two walked in, they did not attract too many people's attention.
The waiter, who was moving nimbly among the crowd with a wine tray, walked in front of the two of them and was about to hand them each a glass of champagne, but Su Zhengliang refused, "Sorry, I don't drink."
"Bring Mr. Su a glass of ice water," a somewhat unfamiliar voice came from the crowd. Subconsciously, the two of them turned back to look at the person who spoke.
I saw Zheng Yufeng holding a glass of wine and smiling at the two of them, "Two, we meet again."
With the superb performance of the violinists on site, the guests gradually became more and more interested. Just as people were talking about it, the lights suddenly went out. At the same time, a beam of orange light suddenly hit the front of the banquet hall. Everyone's eyes were on
Their gazes were invariably directed towards the only luminous point.
Sure enough, that tall and arrogant figure appeared in front of everyone. Wearing a sophisticated dark blue Louis Vuitton suit and a gorgeous rose-colored bow tie, Lin Xiluo had a calm smile on his handsome and perfect face. The audience was filled with sighs as he witnessed it.
He raised a high tone and said, "Thank you all for attending my succession ceremony tonight. Now I announce that the succession ceremony has officially begun!"
Su Zhengliang stood in the crowd, watching the handover documents being signed between the man on the stage and his father, with no expression on his pale and indifferent face.
After the short succession ceremony, the lights in the banquet hall were turned on, and as the cheerful melody of the violin sounded again, the warm atmosphere in the hall was once again pushed to a climax.
Su Zhengliang raised his hand to touch his forehead, said a few words to You Shaoqi indifferently, and then walked alone to the lounge next to the banquet hall.
Sitting quietly on the brown leather sofa in the lounge, Su Zhengliang closed his eyes and meditated.
When he was studying at S University, Lin Xiluo's musical attainments were extraordinary and almost unmatched by anyone. Originally, he decided to wait until he graduated and the two of them went to the United States to continue their studies together, but not long after, he suddenly disappeared from the world.
, and there was no news from him. Through many inquiries, I learned that he had already gone to England, and had given up music to specialize in finance in order to come back and inherit the Lin family.
Although he had known Lin Xiluo's identity for a long time and knew that the possibility that he would inherit the Lin family in the future was 100%, when Lin Xiluo agreed to study with him in the United States, Su Zhengliang still felt that his dream could come true.
People can be together forever and never be separated.
Today, six years later, when he personally watched him take over the Lin family and become the new head of the Lin family, Su Zhengliang once again understood how naive he was back then.
Deep sadness flashed in his eyes. Slowly closing his eyes, Su Zhengliang leaned weakly on the armrest of the sofa.
"Xiluo, my feet hurt so much, help me in quickly!"
Hearing a woman's voice, Su Zhengliang opened his eyes suddenly. The next moment, the door of the lounge was also pushed open.
