Chapter 3 Clearing the Banquet
The banquet ended at around nine o'clock. When I heard that Mr. Liang was coming, Sheng Ye also rushed to receive him. Without the protagonist tonight, many celebrities also left early.
On the way back, it was still drizzling.
Raindrops hung on the car window. Meng Ying was a little bored, so she opened the window and listened to Dong Zhilan talking to Meng Yuan about how many young men she had met tonight and how many friends she had made.
Meng Yuan regarded this kind of thing as a kind of conversational tool to show off.
"Sheng Ye danced with me tonight, which is a great honor. You know, Sheng Ye only danced with me three times tonight, and one of them was with me."
Dong Zhilan was even more happy, "Yuanyuan, our Meng family depends on you. If you can really become Young Mistress Sheng, the Meng family's road will be green." At this moment, the two of them seemed to be able to imagine the future of marrying into the Sheng family. look.
Seeing how happy the two of them were, Meng Ying didn't want to pour cold water on them.
Not to mention, Sheng Ye danced the two dances tonight with Xu Zhenzhen and Su Hangqing. Even though Meng Yuan is good-looking, the most important thing in a wealthy marriage is that they are well-matched.
Meng Ying just wants to be nothing, but just because she wants to be nothing, it doesn't mean that others won't take the initiative to find her.
He also had to punch and kick a few words into the air.
"Meng Ying, who is dancing with you tonight? It's not Mr. Song from Jingmaoxing. When did you hook up with a rich young man from a certain family? The watch on his wrist seems to be from Switzerland. A niche aristocratic custom brand, very tasteful. But if you don’t have good taste, you might as well choose Young Master Song to dance with him. He is the young master of Jing Maoxing.”
Meng Yuan is not nice to talk to, but Dong Zhilan has never been nice. Will not be harsh, "Aying, you usually dislike such occasions. Mom did not expect that you would make friends. But when you make friends, you must also pay attention to the family background and status of the other person. Your sister is also thinking about you."
Meng Ying felt helpless, but she smiled slightly on the surface and looked at her with an innocent look, "Ah, Mom, isn't that person Master Song? They are all wearing masks."
< br>Seeing this, Dong Zhilan gave up.
This little daughter has not been raised by her since she was a child, and she has never been as sensible as Yuanyuan.
Just not familiar with him.
She did not expect this little daughter to bring any glory to the family.
Find a suitable family to marry in the future.

Liang Jincong returned to the hotel where he was staying.
Uncle Lao, the driver, walked in and said, "The lady's name is Meng Ying. She is the second lady of the Meng family, the daughter of Meng Qinglin and Dong Zhilan. Her family runs a jewelry business. However, the business has been sluggish in the past few years. Tonight At Sheng Ye's 'Wife Selection Banquet', Meng Yuan, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, danced with Sheng Ye. "
Liang Jincong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He had just taken a shower, his hair was wet and hanging lightly on his forehead. Wearing a gray silk satin bathrobe, he looked at the Meng family information displayed on his phone. His eyes fell on Meng Ying's photo. After two seconds, he raised his eyes.
"Her voice is as gentle and soft as an oriole"
Her voice does fit this description.
Thinking of the tattoo on her ankle, Liang Jincong held a cigarette, gently rubbed the cigarette butt with his long fingertips, and lit it after a few seconds.
Looking outside the window, the bustling night view of Hongjiang City is unobstructed.
-
Meng Ying returned home.
After taking a shower and wiping her hair, Meng Ying sat on the sofa and looked at this metal cufflink with a light luster. It was exquisitely made and matched well with the man's suit.
There was no logo on the cufflinks. She searched online but couldn't find the same style.
That gentleman will probably never meet again in the future. Even if she wanted to return it to him, she couldn't find a chance.
Like his watch, it should be a niche and unpopular style.
But unique.
She can even feel now that the unusual cutting process of the watch is touching her skin through a layer of fabric.
She is not a Princess and the Pea, but the skin on her waist is indeed sensitive.
Meng Ying's eyelashes trembled, and she couldn't help but picture the man's palm on her waist. When it slowly moved up, the dial on her wrist was cold and domineering.
Thinking of this, her cheeks actually felt slightly warm.
-
The light rain in Hongjiang City has continued for a week.
The ground was pitter-patter and damp.
The most famous hotel in Hongjiang City, the Hongjiang Hotel, named after the urban area, was cleared today. Dozens of waiters were shuttled back and forth, and the private rooms on the third floor were coming in and out. Today, Mr. Sheng was the host. , I want to entertain distinguished guests here.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Sheng Dongqing and Sheng Ye were already waiting at the door.
A black Rolls-Royce Extended Phantom slowly stopped.
Sheng Dongqing gave a look, and Sheng Ye took a step ahead of the manager, walked to the car door and opened the door, "Mr. Liang, we are finally waiting for you."
Liang Jincong got out of the car, wearing a black couture suit jacket, a white shirt and a black vest, a dark green tie with gold and dark patterns, and an emerald collar clip between the third and fourth buttons of the shirt. .
His hair is mostly combed up, and he looks very handsome.
Liang Jincong is seven years older than Sheng Ye, but Sheng Ye looks like a young master from an aristocratic family at the moment. Both his figure and aura are like dust in front of Liang Jincong.
Even when Sheng Dongqing walked beside Liang Jincong, he felt that his lips and teeth were physiologically dry. He even couldn't help but bend down slightly. He didn't dare to look at Liang Jincong for the first time and said respectfully, "Mr. Liang , please come this way.”
Liang Jincong came to the mainland this time for the Zhongnuo Group’s project to develop the Boshan tourist resort island. Shengjia is a leading catering company in Hongjiang City. If a cooperation can be negotiated this time, it will be of great significance to the development of the group, so Sheng Dongqing pays special attention to the fact that the old man of the Sheng family is unwell, otherwise, he may have to take charge personally this time.
A ten-mile box.
Ancient wood prototype table, thick and elegant.
Highlight the ancient charm.
The Sheng family could not afford this cooperation alone. Sheng Dongqing negotiated this cooperation as a representative. After winning the contract, he bid for the second time with other major groups in Hongjiang.
Tonight, Sheng Dongqing was the host and invited Liang Jincong. In the box, several major Hongjiang families were present.
When they saw Liang Jincong coming, they all stood up one after another, looking a little embarrassed.
Liang Jincong is distant and cold, he has a noble status but speaks politely and politely. He is a high-ranking person, elegant and dignified. After a few glasses of wine, he is also a little tipsy. On such occasions, someone will always suggest bringing a few female companions over. Although it is cliché, it is the default behavior of men. Sheng Ye wanted to call some female models over, but he felt it was inappropriate. People like Liang Jincong probably looked down on them. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
-
Meng Yuan immediately put on makeup excitedly after receiving the call, put on a thin pink gauze long dress with butterfly embroidery, and ran down the stairs quickly, "Young Master Sheng asked me to go Let’s eat. Where’s Uncle Chen? Ask him to drive me to Hongjiang Hotel quickly.”
Fu's mother poked her head out from the kitchen, "Uncle Chen drove the wife out."
Meng Yuan had a sullen face, stepped on her stilettos and knocked on Meng Ying's door, and involuntarily pushed the car key to her In his hand, "Hurry up, drive me to the Hongjiang Hotel."
-
The Hongjiang Hotel has a long history in the local area, dating back hundreds of years.
This is Meng Ying’s first time on the third floor.
The slippers stepped on the soft carpet, and she lowered her head and smiled. It must be her first time wearing home slippers to the Hongjiang Hotel.
On weekdays, the dining area on the first floor of Hongjiang Hotel is open. The private rooms on the second floor need to be reserved one month in advance. As for the third floor, I heard that the person who dined here last time was a prominent person in the political and business circles.
"You are not allowed to go in. After all, Master Sheng only invited me. Just wait for me here. I will be out in an hour at the latest." After saying that, Meng Yuan got up late and smiled at the waiter. He was guided to a private room.
And Meng Ying came to the rest area.
The waiter handed over juice and snacks.
After a few minutes, Meng Ying watched as a middle-aged man walked in with several young women. The young women were all dressed in luxury brands and had beautiful and delicate looks. They also included a female star, a popular star in the entertainment industry. , vitality and beauty under the lens.
That female star, a costume drama was released not long ago, Meng Ying also watched it, her acting skills are good, she is good enough for ancient puppets, she is on the front line in the entertainment industry, and on the surface she is a marketer as light as a chrysanthemum. I didn't expect that the wine party would also come tonight.
Meng Ying lives in this circle. Although she is at the bottom of the circle, she has seen such things several times.
Everyone wants to climb up.
People are greedy. Even if they are in a high position, they also want to stand higher.
Once you get 1, you want to get 2, and you want to get more.
Money, status, glory, vanity package.
After taking a sip of juice, she was a little bored. Except that she couldn't go to the box, she could take a walk elsewhere.
-
Liang Jincong refused the female companion who wanted to sit next to him. He raised his eyes lightly, his eyes a little cold and distant.
Ni Xue was a little frustrated. The appearance she was most proud of could not get past the eyes of this man. Her manager told her that a big shot was coming to the Hongjiang Hotel tonight. She was from Hong Kong and asked her to come and pay respects. If a drink makes this big shot feel comfortable, the resources for her next drama will be determined.
Ni Xue’s makeup tonight is exquisite, and there are almost no flaws. She is usually chased by fans and coaxed by her managers. There are even more wealthy people pursuing her. It is inevitable for her to be surrounded by popular works. She has a bit of a personality, but those who pursue her are just some young men who want to play tricks and can't give her any substantial resources.
At this moment, the champagne was handed over again. They were all men. No matter what type of men they were, they could not pass the test of female lust. Ni Xue was still very confident in her appearance. She used her usual The most conventional way for young men to interact is, "Mr. Liang, my hands are sore, just take a sip."
But her hands shook.
Spill out half a cup.
However, there was no regret or guilt on her face. Instead, she felt that she could attract the other person.
Suddenly the box became quiet.
Sheng Ye looked pale, "Mr. Liang, are you okay."
Sheng Dongqing also stood up, "Mr. Liang, I asked the waiter to get spare clothes."
Meng Yuan, who was sitting next to Sheng Ye, immediately took out a tissue and handed it over. She looked at Liang Jincong's face, her heart beating fast. She didn't expect that this was Mr. Liang. She secretly cursed Ni Xue in her heart for being a fool, but her cheeks She was already blushing, and her voice was even more charming, "Mr. Liang, let me wipe it for you."
Liang Jincong just took off his suit jacket and put it on the back of the chair. His expression didn't change much. He just swept Ni Xue's face with a bit of coldness, "I'll just clean it up."
Sheng Ye He glanced at Ni Xue.
Suppressing her anger, "Let your agent take you back."
Ni Xue was startled and trembling at the moment, "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
She knew it was over now.
She wanted to beg, but Sheng Ye didn't give her a good look.
-
Meng Ying found herself lost.
She is a bit road-chaotic, and in this kind of indoor layout, she can't tell the direction at all.
On the third floor of the Hongjiang Hotel, there were private rooms one after another. Apart from the different brand names, she could hardly tell them apart.
Looking at a road, she walked forward. She held her mobile phone and chatted with her friend Shen Xiao about next week's dubbing work. She complained that the third floor of Hongjiang Hotel was like a maze!
The layout is old
She has been stunned.
Shen Xiao's voice was penetrating, especially in this quiet place where Meng Ying was the only one.
“What?? The third floor of the Hongjiang Hotel. I heard that the founder referred to the Book of Changes when he founded it. I read on the Internet that the Hongjiang Hotel was cleared today. It seems like it is hosting some big shot. Oh my god. , Yingying, you are here too.”
"I'm here to see off Meng Yuan."
"Don't she have any legs? She still wants you to see her off. She really thinks of herself as Miss Meng. You are the one who saw her off when she asked you to see her off. Why don't you do it tonight?" Rest at home.”
Meng Ying held her phone, looked left and right, and chose to go to the left.
"There is no need to be unhappy over such a trivial matter. If I argue with Meng Yuan every day over such trivial matters, then I won't have to spend the rest of the day."
"That's your mentality. Optimistic.”
Meng Ying looked at the stairs in front of her. Her eyes lit up and she finally saw the stairs. Walking over quickly, I suddenly heard someone talking on the phone. They were speaking in Cantonese and occasionally mentioned the words Shengjia, Liang, and Huashi Group.
In the stairwell, she could not move forward. This was not a business secret. She heard it. She stood there and hesitated for more than ten seconds. There was no sound inside. She was ready to move forward. As he was leaving, a man's figure came out.
