The business dinner that Lian Li attended with Jin Yanting was extremely private. It was held in a manor, and the interior was magnificently decorated and sparkling.
The purple dress Lian Li is wearing is a business model customized by a top luxury brand. It has unlimited movement, is generous and gorgeous.
The business Maybach finally arrived at the manor, followed closely by three luxury cars.
The guard neatly held an umbrella and opened the back seat door to protect Jin Yanting from the rain.
Jin Yanting took the umbrella and asked Lian Li to hold his arm and get out of the car.
Lian Li held the hem of her skirt with one hand and held the car door with the other, not touching him: "It's okay."
The organizer of the dinner came out to greet him, bent down and smiled: "Mr. Jin."
There are two unattainable noble sons of the Jin family. The eldest son, as the heir, controls all the lines of the Jin family; the second son is not interested in the existing power of the Jin family and has opened up a new power-military industry.
The Forty-Nine Cities aristocratic family has been updated and iterated, the old family has declined, and the new family has risen. Only the Jin family has always stood at the top of power and remains standing.
Every dinner attended by Jin Yanting was attended by stars.
Out of banquet etiquette, Lian Li raised her hand and gently held his arm when entering.
The banquet was grand, and several familiar faces to Lian Li took the initiative to greet her, and she responded with ease.
Jin Yanting led Lian Li to the snack area, and the others had the good sense not to disturb her. Mr. Jin accompanied his sister to eat snacks, but he didn't even look at her when he stepped forward.
"Is the graduation ceremony scheduled?" Jin Yanting asked.
"Not yet." Lian Li thought, "It was June in previous years, so it should be June this year."
The secretary in Jin Yanting's secretarial office contacted Lian Li to help her arrange to go abroad and take care of everything in order. All she needed was for someone to arrive.
Lian Li communicated with the secretary, learned new knowledge, came into contact with new things, and then made her own arrangements.
"Yanting."
Duan Shiqing is wearing high heels, with a tall and graceful figure. He is both charming and cool, yet not lacking the sharpness of a high-ranking person.
A passing business boss greeted her: "Mr. Duan."
She nodded in greeting, the eldest lady of the Duan family and the CEO's demeanor were perfectly matched.
Duan Shiqing walked to Jin Yanting's side, as if he had just seen Lian Li, and smiled gently: "Lian Li, you are here too."
Lian Li is neither humble nor arrogant: "Mr. Duan."
"I visited Aunt Jin yesterday and she mentioned that you don't like sweets." Duan Shiqing glanced at the snacks in Lian Li's hand and said to Jin Yanting, "My habits have not changed after so many years."
"Really?" Jin Yanting took some time to straighten his sleeves and spoke in a light voice.
Duan Shiqing said: "Auntie understands you."
Jin Yanting's expression was calm, and other business tycoons who wanted to toast saw Duan Shiqing and Jin Yanting chatting for a while and stepped forward one after another.
"Mr. Jin, Mr. Duan."
Lian Li made room for others. After listening to them openly and secretly praising Jin Yanting and Duan Shiqing for their perfect match, she walked to the bar and ordered a special cocktail with interest.
The benefits of being rich and powerful, everything is unique.
In the banquet hall, champagne was exchanged, suits and fine clothes were displayed, showing the nobility and sophistication of the upper class.
Although today's society advocates equality for all, thousands of years of history and the practice of the law of the jungle cannot conceal clear classes no matter how hard we pursue equality.
Everyone was following Jin Yanting. Jin Yanting looked calm and calm, without much change in mood. After a while, after the others left, he said to Duan Shiqing: "The Jin family will not marry the Duan family. You and I know this."< br>
Duan Shiqing's smile looked a little stiff upon closer inspection.
They are all smart people, how could she not understand what Jin Yanting meant.
It's okay to use his identity to gain benefits, but you can't go too far and you have to be measured.
"But Yan Ting, we all know very well that I am the most suitable person to be your wife, right?"
Duan Shiqing admitted that after returning to China, she used him to gain a foothold in the country, but he acquiesced in all that.
Since he acquiesces, it means that he is interested in getting back together with her.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yanting said: "Whether it is suitable or not is up to me." There was an undeniable sense of oppression in his words, showing the indifference of a person in a high position.
The implication is that she is not suitable.
Duan Shiqing clenched the champagne glass in his hand, his face instantly turned ugly: "Don't you have a will?"
"When have I ever had a wish?" Jin Yanting asked nonchalantly.
Duan Shiqing's fingertips trembled and he held back his sobs: "Then help me..."
"Thinking of the old relationship and the Duan family."
The two of them were forced to separate when they were young due to family disagreements, which caused harm to her, so he gave her benefits and compensated her.
Duan Shiqing glanced at Lian Li from the corner of his eye and had a ridiculous thought: "Do you like Lian Li?"
When she asked the question, she was even surprised by herself.
Jin Yanting likes Lian Li...how is that possible.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
On the other side, Lian Li stood elegantly in front of the bar and took a sip of the fruit wine. The taste was sweet and in line with her expectations.
Halfway through her drink, she turned and looked in Jin Yanting's direction, and Jin Yanting happened to be walking towards her.
Lian Li put down his wine glass and walked over.
"What did you drink?" Jin Yanting looked behind her and said warmly.
Lian Li's taste buds still had a sweet taste, and she smiled and said, "Fruit wine."
The two of them held their hands politely and looked down from a high place, seeming to be talking and laughing, creating a separate world.
On the second floor, the chandelier with gorgeous light and shadow illuminates the figure of the man standing behind the fence. He is tall and thin, and his simple black shirt and black trousers still cannot hide his innate sense of coldness and nobility.
Looking clearly at the faces of a man and a woman downstairs, the wind, frost, and cold rain seemed to instantly color his features.
Lian Li was wearing a purple dress. The fabric was soft and smooth, and the skirt flapped against her slender white legs as she moved. Perhaps because he was worried about being too dazzling, he didn't even wear any jewelry, and his long black hair was slightly curled and hung loosely on his shoulders.
Her facial features are flawless, and a few light strokes of makeup reduce the girlishness of her face and only enhance the sense of maturity accumulated through experience.
Next to her, Jin Yanting was wearing a suit and leather shoes, he was gentle and elegant, and they were holding hands, which was very appropriate for the occasion.
There was a rustle downstairs, "Have you noticed that the color of Mr. Jin's tie is the same color as his bride's bride's dress?"
"Don't tell me, handsome men and beautiful women, standing together are so well-matched and eye-catching, they look like beautiful women."
"That girl is Mr. Jin's sister, and Mr. Duan is Mr. Jin's fiancée."
"Ah? But I seemed to have seen Mr. Jin and Mr. Duan having a very unpleasant quarrel just now?"
……
Jin Shiyue held a glass of whiskey with his slender knuckles, and the coolness penetrated the glass and penetrated into his heart along the nerves of his hand.
The man who stood beside her upright was not him.
When she was with him, she was far less happy than when she went to see Jin Yanting that day.
After a moment, Lian Li turned around subconsciously. There was no one around the fence on the second floor. Only the whiskey glass on the flower bed was bubbling because the overfilled ice ball had melted.
Her heart tightened for no reason.
Jin Yanting saw something wrong with her expression and asked her what was wrong.
"It's okay."
Lian Li smiled and her expression returned to its original state.
The business dinner focused on business. Jin Yanting was worried that she would find it boring, so he let her do her own thing after half an hour.
The little girl was good at social situations and he never worried about her.
Lian Li wandered around the banquet hall, but kept looking at the fence on the second floor. (End of chapter)
