The whole morning etiquette training was very boring. In fact, its content was not much. It was just things to pay attention to in gestures and conversation. But if you go into detail, there would be a lot to list, so I won’t go into details here.
At eleven o'clock, Zhang Jingwan personally arranged my clothes, collar, and cuffs. She checked them all for me personally. Because she was so close to me, I could still smell her faint fragrance.
.
After everything was ready, we left the room and rushed to the Shengshi Palace.
The Shengshi Palace used to be Xiao Kai's territory. After he was killed, the food street was divided among several big bosses including Jin Laowai, Tong Jiuchao and Bai Daoer.
This prosperous palace was originally bought by Jin Laowai, and then transferred to a mysterious businessman. Needless to say, this mysterious businessman must have an outstanding background in Baidao, and he passed through Jin Laowai's hands once, presumably to avoid suspicion.
.
The current boss of Shengshi Palace is not Jin Laowai, so I don’t have to worry too much.
When I arrived at the entrance of the Shengshi Palace, I noticed that there were police cars parked in many places outside the door. Some of the cars even had the words "Special Police" printed on the doors. I immediately felt guilty. After all, I am a gangster.
After I got off the bus, Zhang Jingwan reminded me: "Pay attention to your identity and momentum. The police are not here to arrest you. Three big shots are here today, and someone from the municipal committee will also come, so the security work will be better."
"
Yes, it may also be broadcast on Xingzhou News Network...
I felt relieved after thinking this. When I arrived at the entrance of the Shengshi Palace, I found that there were two staff members, a man and a woman, doing a simple body search. I frowned, then turned around and took my carry-on
He handed the abc to the thugs and said, "Go to the car and wait for us. There are so many police here, so nothing will happen."
The thug was not interested in this scene either. When he heard what I said, he looked relieved and quickly grabbed a?b?c and ran away, as if he was afraid that I would change his mind in the next second.
When entering the door, Zhang Jingwan gave the two staff members a red invitation. After a simple search and entering the hotel lobby, I couldn't help but ask her: "Do you still have the invitation?"
Zhang Jingwan smiled and said: "Of course there is. The relationship I have been operating in Xingzhou for half a year is not in vain. Plus we are planning to build the most luxurious club in Xingzhou, so I am naturally qualified to be invited.
.”
I was a little unconvinced: "I am the big boss behind the club, and my status in Xingzhou is not low, but why didn't I receive the invitation?"
Zhang Jingwan said with a matter-of-fact expression: "Not only you, but also Jin Laowai and Tong Jiuchao didn't receive it. Your status is not enough."
Now I was even more dissatisfied: "We don't have enough status, so your status does?"
Zhang Jingwan said: "My identity is naturally enough. I know the presidents of five banks in Xingzhou and have good relationships with them. The municipal party committee knows four deputy mayors and one mayor, and my relationship is only so-so. I know even more people in the business community.
Well, I won’t give you a detailed list here, do you think I am qualified?”
I couldn't help but glance at Zhang Jingwan and said, "Are you from Xingzhou, or am I from Xingzhou?"
Zhang Jingwan covered her mouth with a "poof" and said with a chuckle: "People are more irritating than others."
Walking upstairs, Zhang Jingwan told me that one invitation can bring two people in, mainly because many big bosses are used to bringing secretaries and followers when they go out, and the reason why I can go as usual today is because I am regarded as her
secretary.
Hey, it’s such a disgrace.
As we walked in, Zhang Jingwan naturally took my arm, making it seem like she and I were lovers.
Seeing my uncomfortable expression, Zhang Jingwan said: "I'm giving you an upgrade. Either you can be my couple for half a day and we will be on equal terms; or you can be my secretary for half a day and serve me tea for a while!"
I looked at Zhang Jingwan and said helplessly: "Are you taking advantage of someone's misfortune?"
Zhang Jingwan smiled again and said: "Don't worry, your sister, I won't fall in love with a young boy like you, it's just acting."
I felt relieved when she said that. Naturally, I didn't want to be a secretary, so I had no choice but to play a couple.
I look a little older today in my dress and appearance, and Zhang Jingwan is dressed smartly and young today, making her look a little younger, so when we two walk together, it really looks like that.
Well, okay, Zhang Jingwan is actually only twenty-four or five years old, so she is not too old...
There were many people in the hotel lobby, and a few would greet Zhang Jingwan from time to time. When someone asked about my identity, she smiled and said, "My boyfriend, Yifeng."
Then some people will praise us for our talents and looks!
We first took the elevator to the third floor and walked through the corridor to today's banquet hall. There were already many people in the hall. The waiters and waitresses were walking among the crowd carrying wine trays, and soothing and elegant music was echoing.
Women all wear dresses of various colors, and of course Zhang Jingwan is no exception. She wears a plain white dress. She also has two small earrings on her ears, and a slender chain with red gemstones hanging around her neck.
In the car before arriving, I always thought it was strange that Zhang Jingwan was dressed like this, and it was still cold in the winter. But after entering the banquet hall, I discovered that every woman is dressed like this. On the contrary, if she wears a down jacket or
Casual, jeans and other clothes will feel awkward.
As soon as Zhang Jingwan and I entered the lobby, we were immediately greeted by a male waiter carrying a wine tray and asked if we wanted any red wine. Zhang Jingwan smiled and took two or two glasses of red wine from the rest of his tray.
He stopped and handed me a glass.
After the male waiter walked away, I asked Zhang Jingwan: "Shouldn't such banquets be held in the evening? Why did you choose noon today?"
Zhang Jingwan rolled her eyes at me and said, "Who stipulates that all banquets must be in the evening? If you choose the evening one, it will be a casual dinner, while if you choose the daytime one, it will be a business banquet with serious business to discuss. The nature is different."
I had a rough understanding in my mind: banquets during the day are usually for discussing business, while banquets at night are for "picking up girls."
Thinking of this, I nodded.
After a while, a violinist played music in the hall. As for why I knew it was a violin, it was very simple. Zhang Jingwan told me.
In the middle of the banquet hall, people had already started dancing to the music. I really couldn't sense that there was any business atmosphere there.
After a while, there were more and more people in the hall, and many people greeted Zhang Jingwan. Later, I also recognized two acquaintances, Deputy Mayor Zuo and Governor Shi!
The two of them were a little surprised when they saw my dress today, but after knowing that it was Zhang Jingwan's handiwork, they were not surprised.
President Shi came alone, while Vice Mayor Zuo was accompanied by Secretary Huang.
We chatted for a while, and then the three of them went to a room at the end of the hall.
Zhang Jingwan told me: "The big shots are all in that room. They will negotiate some things inside first, and then come out to announce it to us after the negotiation is completed, and then everyone will celebrate together."
I was a little confused and said: "They invited us here just to let us be their audience? Isn't the audience's lineup too strong?"
Almost all of the people present were prominent figures in Xingzhou, and these people were all invited not to talk about serious business, but to act as an audience for the group of people in the room?
Zhang Jingwan leaned into my ear and whispered: "Have you ever seen the Academy Awards ceremony, or the Academy Awards ceremony? How many stars were there? But there are only a few dozen people who actually won awards, and the rest are not all
Audience?"
"People with status must invite an audience that is important enough. Those people in the room can allow people like us to be the audience. They already think highly of us."
After listening to Zhang Jingwan's words, I couldn't help but nodded and said: "I also understand at this time why I, Jin Laowai and Tong Jiuchao were not invited. It is not because our status is not enough, but because our industries are different. Here are politics and business.
People from both worlds, and the three of us are black!"
As for Chang Shun from the Qinggang here, haha, who dares to say that he is a gangster? If someone were to investigate him, the result of the investigation would probably be that he is fairer than the innocent!
Maybe this is the highest level of the underworld gang. It’s not how dark it is, but it’s that in the underworld, it’s so white that it’s unbelievable!
Then the music at the banquet changed to piano music again, and at this time, Zhang Jingwan asked me if I wanted to dance to a song?
I have a rough understanding of dance, let alone ballroom dancing. Basically, it was taught to me by my mother before she came back. Because my mother likes to dance like this, she would play music at home for my father to dance with her.
When I go home, my mother will teach me if she is interested.
I can't say how good I am at dancing, but at least I won't step on anyone's feet.
Seeing me hesitating, Zhang Jingwan smiled and said, "What? No?"
Okay, I admit that I was a little aroused by Zhang Jingwan at this time, so I said: "Just jump, whoever is afraid of whom!"
When I said this, Zhang Jingwan stretched out her hand and put it in the air. I made a gesture of invitation, then took her hand and walked off the dance floor.
After arriving in the crowd, she slowly put her hands on my shoulders and said, and I put my hands on her waist with a hint of shyness.
Huh? I'm actually shy! Damn it!
I felt a little uncomfortable being so close to Zhang Jingwan, so after looking at her for a while, I gave up and turned my head to the side to look elsewhere.
Zhang Jingwan laughed softly and said: "I didn't expect that your dignified crazy Nancheng would be ashamed?"
I rolled my eyes at her and said nothing.
After the song ended, I suddenly felt a sense of relief. When I removed my hands from Zhang Jingwan's waist, I found that my back was already soaked with sweat.
"madman?"
Just when we were about to leave the dance floor, I suddenly heard someone calling me. When I turned around, I saw a girl in a black dress with long hair shawl behind me.
"Sister Zuo Lun'er?" I quickly recognized her, "You came here with your father?"
That's right, the tall, beautiful girl in front of me is Wang Bin's ex-girlfriend Zuo Lun'er.
Zuo Lun'er shook his head and said: "I came here with my mother. She is in that room talking about things with those big shots. I am very bored now. Can you dance with me to the next song?"
After Zuo Lun'er said to me, he asked Zhang Jingwan next to me: "Do you mind if I borrow your dance partner?"
