Dressed as a cannon fodder substitute for a beautiful president
Chapter 5 The Lost Heart
The reception that night was held in a medium-sized banquet hall of a high-end hotel. The people who were invited here today were all influential figures in the business world of Haicheng, and they were no strangers to this place.
There was a small accident in the afternoon's branch leader's briefing, which ended half an hour later than expected.The number of people gathered in the banquet hall gradually increased, but everyone chatted tacitly, and they were not in a hurry to start.
Shen Zhibing hadn't arrived yet, and Lian Ao hadn't shown up yet. Tonight's banquet hadn't officially started yet.
Several famous ladies from aristocratic families gathered together, holding champagne in their hands, taking a sip from time to time, with elegant gestures.The gorgeous dresses are paired with the limited edition small bags in their hands. If it weren't for the betrayal of the guilty eyes that talk about others behind their backs, they would not be able to see the true state of these people.
"Have you heard? Lian Ao was called back by his family this time."
"Didn't he be in charge of the business in the UK before, and he was called back after only a few months. Is it because he is incompetent and needs to be replaced?"
"On the contrary, calling him back has more important tasks."
Lian Ao is the most favored grandson of the Shiqun Consortium, he is suave and talented.He has been sought after in the wealthy circle since he was a child, and many famous daughters are willing to get close to him, but everyone knows that this playboy is unstoppable.
"You really haven't heard, are you still pretending to be confused?" Jian Anni shook the champagne twice, and glanced at the plastic sisters gathered around her.
"Annie, don't be so secretive. Who doesn't know that your family is the most well-informed."
Jane Anne smiled, enjoying such flattery.
"Actually, it's nothing new. This time, the old man of the Lian family personally sent a message to ask Young Master Lian to come back and get engaged."
"what?!"
The originally gentle and elegant women exclaimed in a low voice almost at the same time, isn't this a new thing?A few years ago, when they were still in love, they had thought about Lian Ao a little bit, but seeing that Lian Ao was like a loach that couldn't be caught, they gradually lost interest.
"Which daughter is so lucky to be engaged to Young Master Lian?"
Jian Anni smiled without saying a word, apparently still wanting to keep her secret.
"You should say, whose young lady is so unlucky that she wants to marry such a heartless Wang Lao Wu."
"Qinqin, why do you speak sourly like you can't eat grapes? Do you still regret that he didn't invite you to dance on your last birthday?"
Jian Anni was afraid that the group of daughters would quarrel and spoil the atmosphere tonight, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't make wild guesses, I heard that they are a well-matched family."
It is true that there are a few families who can match up with the Shiqun Consortium, but there are not many who happen to be of the right age to marry.
"Could it be Shen's Iceberg Queen?"
"How is it possible? The two almost tore each other up at an auction last month over a piece of land."
"That's true. It seems that Lin Muyun is the most likely one. But she has been abroad for a long time, and it is said that she doesn't plan to come back anytime soon."
Probably because they were too involved in gossip chatting, and Shen Zhibing didn't even notice when he came near them.When Jane Anne saw that icy beauty's face, the champagne in her hand almost swayed out.
"Boss Shen, when did you arrive?"
Normally, the appearance of Shen Zhibing would definitely cause quite a commotion.The venue had been very quiet just now, and they never thought that the Iceberg Queen had arrived.
Shen Zhibing hooked the corners of his lips: "Just arrived."
She said that she had just arrived, but the champagne in her hand had clearly gone down by a third, and she didn't know how much she had heard what she had just said.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to say much, and pinned their hopes on Jane Anne.
Here, Jian Anni and Shen Zhibing still have a little friendship, but it is limited to some business contacts between the two.Among her peers, there were almost none who could stand on an equal footing with Shen Zhibing.
Neither Lian Ao nor Lin Muyun can do it.
They may be regarded as princes and princesses with golden spoons in their mouths, but Shen Zhibing has already become a queen by virtue of her outstanding ability. In her eyes, these rice worms who can only rely on their families to get some fund dividends are even more worthless in her eyes. Mention.
"We were talking just now, why didn't we see you tonight? I missed you so much." Jian's family is a leader in the media industry, and Jian Anne's resilience is not bad.
Shen Zhibing was cold and indifferent, he didn't respond, just looking at them occasionally was enough to make these people feel guilty and flustered.After all, it would be embarrassing for anyone to talk about people behind their backs and be hit by the boss.
However, there are specious rumors between Shen Zhibing and Lian Ao from time to time, which makes people very itchy, and dare not gossip.
"Thank you for thinking about it, I should come over earlier to say hello to you next time."
What Shen Zhibing said was not sincere at all, but the others reacted with emotion one after another.
"Mr. Shen, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time. People from the Australian Business Alliance want to see you. Are you free now?"
At this moment, someone came looking for Shen Zhibing, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Shen Zhibing left, the surrounding temperature rose a lot.Wu Qin repeatedly patted his heart: "Just now I almost cried."
"Is it so exaggerated?"
Wu Qin stared: "How dare you say you're not? Who didn't dare to say a word, didn't dare to raise their eyes, and even accused me!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse again, Jian Anni said coldly: "Don't talk about it, everyone restrain yourself tonight. Especially the topic between President Shen and Young Master Lian, don't bring it up again."
While chatting with the guests from Australia, Shen Zhibing kept silently paying attention to the direction of the banquet hall door.She was half an hour late, and she had inquired when she came, but Lian Ao hadn't arrived yet.But now that she has been here for so long, Lian Ao still hasn't appeared.
Logically, since Lian Ao has already returned to China, it is impossible not to come to such an important occasion tonight.
Besides, he specially sent flowers today, isn't it to announce tonight?
It's rare for Shen Zhibing to be distracted, but fortunately she has rich experience in shopping malls, so even if she devotes half of her mind to it, she can handle it with ease.
"Before I heard that Mr. Shen is very capable, I have always wanted to find a chance to visit in person. I didn't expect to meet today and found that you are not only capable, but also so beautiful." The Australian businessman spoke broken Chinese, and his eyes couldn't hide it. Thoughts made Shen Zhibing sneer in his heart.
Men are always like this, and the focus of evaluating women is always focused on appearance and figure.Shen Zhibing has many suitors in the mall, and there are quite a few who are not discouraged even after encountering numerous setbacks.
Foreigners probably don't understand this, so they habitually want to be courteous.
"President, I have something to do, so excuse me first."
Shen Zhibing seemed to see Lian Ao's figure flashing past the door, so she hurried away.
To her, the party tonight was important but nothing special.But because Lian Ao might appear, she looked forward to it all the more.Her makeup tonight was so exquisite that people who were used to her beauty were still amazed.
Shen Zhibing put down his wine glass and walked quickly to the door, the waiter just closed the door tightly.
"Did someone come just now?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Shen."
Shen Zhibing is definitely the most eye-catching one tonight, even the waiter recognized her immediately.
Shen Zhibing changed his usual indifference and reticence, and took the initiative to ask: "Did Mr. Lian from the Shiqun Consortium come just now?"
She didn't dare to call Lian Ao's name directly, for fear that she would miss him too much and be affected by affection, which would make people feel that something was wrong.
"Mr. Shen may have misread it, Mr. Lian didn't come tonight."
The banquet has been going on for so long, and those who want to come have already arrived.No matter how proud Lian Ao is, he will never delay until now.
So tonight, he probably won't come.
Shen Zhibing's heart sank, her previous eagerness and expectations were all thrown away, making her chill even worse.
"Boss Shen, do you need anything else?"
Shen Zhibing waved his hand, turned around and returned to the place just now.In the crowd, she was still the most dazzling one, took another glass of wine, and only she knew Shen Zhibing's loss.

In the dormitory, Jiang Youyou, who had finished eating instant noodles, finally regained her spirits, and gave a general account of the afternoon's events.The bad breath in my heart came out again, and my mood improved a lot.
Her mobile phone kept ringing, with WeChat messages and phone calls one after another, she simply turned it off to be quiet.
Qizheng pointed to the phone and said, "Aren't you going to listen to his explanation?"
"What is there to explain? Betrayal is only once and countless times. Besides, how do I know if today is the first time?"
Jiang Youyou was sad, but even more disgusted, and didn't want to talk to this person again.
Qizheng packed up the leftovers, turned around and saw Jiang Youyou ran to the locker looking for something.
"I remember there was still left last time." As she spoke, she dug out a few cans of beer from the depths of the locker.
Qizheng vaguely remembered that it seemed that they celebrated their graduation early last month. They bought a case of beer and drank it a few times.
"Come on, let's not get drunk tonight!" Jiang Youyou handed Qi Zheng a can, and picked up a can herself.
"I'm not broken in love, I don't want to get drunk." Qi Zheng said so, but still took the beer, but she didn't intend to drink it.
"Are you my sister? I'm so pitiful that you don't drink with me at this time." Jiang Youyou took a big sip by herself, but she didn't know if she was choked, or because she was sad, her eyes were really red.
"You were very chic just now, I thought you had figured it out."
"It's one thing to figure it out, but it's another thing to really completely forget it. After all, you've had feelings for a pet for several years, let alone a human." Jiang Youyou didn't try to be brave in front of Qi Zheng, telling the truth.
"Qizheng, do you really have no one you like?"
During college, no matter how others tried to inquire, Qi Zheng never let go and officially admitted her relationship with Lin Muyun.At first it was because she felt that it wasn't love at all, it was just a money relationship.
After that, she was gradually moved, but because of Lin Muyun's attitude, she didn't dare to ask for more.Later, Lin Muyun disappeared, and this relationship has no follow-up.
"Tell me, you're too tight-lipped, it's not interesting."
Sometimes in the dormitory chat at night, everyone does not hide the topic of feelings or suitors.Most of the time, Qizheng was the audience, but when it was her turn, she insisted that she was single.
Jiang Youyou unknowingly started to drink the second can: "Actually, you don't have to hide it, we have seen it several times. You got off that sports car and kissed her face."
Qi Zheng was surprised, Jiang Youyou glanced at her calmly, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, it's no big deal to kiss girls these days."
What Qizheng thought was that he had to pay more attention in the future, no matter who saw it, it would not be a good thing.Of course, she doesn't need to worry about Lin Muyun now, as long as Shen Zhibing doesn't come to school to look for her in a panic.
It is true that Shen Zhibing would not come to school suddenly, but after the reception tonight, she actually chose to go to a villa in the suburbs.
Unexpectedly, when she wanted to see Qi Zheng while enduring a dull headache, she heard the butler say that Miss Qi would be going back to school in the afternoon, and now her head hurt even more.
