In the banquet hall, everyone who is qualified to participate in this banquet has some complicated hearts.
The lounge, or cigar room, is undoubtedly the place that everyone pays the most attention to.
Its door was closed, and two team members who had followed Li Tianlan to Annan were guarding the door, one on the left and the other on the right. They were both civilized and military, one was serious in speech and the other was smiling and chatting with the people nearby.
It was quiet in the lounge, and there was no movement.
At this moment, this small room is like a forbidden area, people are afraid to approach it, but they can't help but want to get closer.
People discovered that being able to attend this banquet does not mean that everything is over. On the contrary, this is just the beginning. Whether and when they can enter the lounge are the key to the next step.
There is a very special group in the banquet hall.
They were young girls wearing sexy, elegant or innocent evening gowns.
There were about seven or eight people, all of whom came from big families and were no strangers to each other. They naturally gathered together and occupied a corner, becoming the biggest highlight in the banquet hall.
Some of them were lazily leaning on the sofa, some were sitting on the armrests and bending over, and some were standing upright. Looking over, there were long, white and delicate legs everywhere. The daughters had exquisite makeup and reserved expressions.
Extremely eye-catching.
They seemed to have unintentionally adopted easy-going postures, and communicated with smiles. They seemed to have a deep love for each other as sisters, but the swords and swords in their words were full of praise and criticism. The interaction during the period could be said to be exciting.
Naturally, they were also paying attention to the lounge.
As well-known socialites among the upper echelons of Annan, they were tasked with some unexplainable tasks at this banquet.
Before coming, the elders in the family had hinted, intentionally or unintentionally, that if they could get close to Li Tianlan, they must make the most of it.
What is the greatest value of being a daughter of a big family?
Naturally, it is a marriage. Under the strong alliance, both parties can gain huge benefits.
Naturally, there is no need to think about marrying Li Tianlan.
But if we can get close to Li Tianlan at this banquet, or even successfully win him over and become his lover in Annan, the benefits to the family will undoubtedly be greater than the so-called marriage.
From this point of view, they are all competitors.
The banquet has started for a while.
The atmosphere, which was lively at the beginning, has gradually become a bit gloomy.
Everyone was waiting for Li Tianlan to come out, and they were gradually getting anxious.
It’s not that they lack determination, it’s that this banquet is too important and can even determine the life and death of various families present in the next few years. At such a juncture, no one can truly remain calm.
The increasingly gloomy atmosphere also affected the most eye-catching ladies in the corner.
A young girl with the smallest figure but the best figure blinked her eyes and couldn't help but ask: "Why doesn't Shuai Li come out yet?"
"Look, Sister Hemerocallis can't wait any longer."
Someone said with a smile, as if they were joking: "Why don't you just deliver it to your door? I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I've seen you so unreserved."
Hemerocallis glanced at her and said softly: "I am single. I will definitely be excited when I meet a good man. Sister Alan, aren't you about to get married? What do you want to do here?"
Alan's face with a fake smile froze slightly for a moment, his eyebrows raised, and just when he was about to speak, a hoarse and sexy voice suddenly rang out: "Okay, it's just a joke, don't hurt the friendship, do you think that now?
Is the situation a good thing?”
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
Hemerocallis' attention, which had originally planned to show off its fighting power, was diverted.
"Sister Shaoqing, can you explain it in detail?"
She blinked her big eyes, her tone and demeanor were a little different from before, and there was even some real respect in them.
Each circle has its own central figure.
And in this circle of Annan's top socialites, Chen Shaoqing is the most central figure.
In a sense, she is no longer even a socialite.
At only twenty-seven years old this year, she exercises the power of a true patriarch of a large family on a daily basis. Based on this alone, her status is enough to make the ladies around her dare not make mistakes.
The Chen family, where Chen Shaoqing was born, is currently not considered the top family in Annan, at least not comparable to the Li family and the forces surrounding the Li family.
But the Chen family is the most outstanding after the first echelon family in Annan. Especially after Chen Shaoqing came to power, the family has developed more and more smoothly. The original Chen family was already showing signs of being lonely, but in the hands of this woman, less than three years ago, the family became more and more prosperous.
Years later, looking at it now, the whole family has an unusual new sign.
With good looks, sufficient ability, careful thinking, strong personality, and possessing huge resources, many people in Annan regard Chen Shaoqing as Annan's most beautiful woman. Of course, this is just a false name, but many people also regard Chen Shaoqing as Annan's number one beauty.
Calling Chen Shaoqing the Annan version of Qin Weibai, this title already shows the Annan people's recognition of her.
"Look at your fathers..."
Chen Shaoqing sat on the sofa and scanned the entire banquet hall with his smart eyes: "They can't laugh anymore. What are you still expecting?"
Her husky voice appears extremely gentle and sexy most of the time. As a low-profile version of Qin Weibai, she is short in stature, but has extremely fair skin and blue eyes, with a very alluring look.
Mixed-race style, if only in terms of appearance, there is no doubt that even the low-profile versions of Qin Weibai and Chen Shaoqing are enough to dazzle everyone around them.
"Could it be..."
Alan pursed her lips, her face looked a little pale: "Is it possible that Li Shuai is not satisfied with this banquet, or maybe Youzhou has a new plan?"
The ladies around him became quieter.
Maybe not all of them are as beautiful as Chen Shaoqing, but at least they know the significance of today's banquet.
This banquet was originally supposed to be candies distributed by Zhongzhou to Annan.
But if Zhongzhou changes his plan...
During this banquet, under Li Tianlan's eyes, all of them were falling into a trap.
"That's not the case."
Chen Shaoqing shook his head: "Zhongzhou's external style has been changing. This is the beginning. They are at least more particular about superficial things. The situation is not as bad as you think."
"Then why doesn't Shuai Li come out?"
Hemerocallis asked in confusion. She was also observing the expressions of the people around her, and she began to feel more and more uneasy.
"Because he's waiting for us to come in."
Chen Shaoqing smiled bitterly: "But the question is, who dares to go in? The first one to go in?"
Hemerocallis didn't quite understand, and her expression became even more confused.
Chen Shaoqing pursed his lips and said no more.
The first one walked into the lounge and asked to see Li Tianlan.
This sounds easy, just a matter of taking a step.
But taking this step means that someone is taking the lead to challenge all the existing order in Annan. When others have not made up their minds, it is equivalent to making enemies of everyone.
Such people are destined to receive strong support from Zhongzhou.
But after all, this is still Annan.
The combination of Zhongzhou's strong support and Annan's collective rejection would be extremely dangerous.
No one dares to take this risk now.
Alan vaguely understood the game involved. She was silent for a while and sneered: "What will Li Shuai do if no one comes in?
He came to Annan with a mission. If he couldn't complete the mission, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Zhongzhou, right?
If all our families stay here and don't go in, he can only choose to come out. If this is the case, does it mean we win?"
Chen Shaoqing slowly raised his head and glanced at her. Her eyes looked like she was looking at an idiot.
"If this is really the case..."
She said slowly: "That doesn't mean we won, it only means..."
After a pause, her voice became hoarse: "It can only mean that all of us are going to die."
