Rose Manor

Chapter 3 Toast a glass of wine
The golden door of the banquet hall on the north side of the sixteenth floor opened, and Fu Jichen, dressed in a three-piece suit, came out slowly, holding a freshly lit cigarette between his fingers.

When he raised his hand, he revealed a cold white wrist, wrapped around a circle of pure black braided rope, with a white jade handle at the end, it was a lifelike carved lion, a sleeping lion with its eyes closed.

He pinched his eyebrows to relieve the fatigue caused by socializing.

Suddenly, a melodious sound of cello poured out from the banquet hall on the south side.

The sound of the piano was so clear that the door of the banquet hall was not closed.

Fu Jichen stepped forward in an unexpected way. His leather shoes stepped on the light gray carpet, and the sound of his footsteps was hidden. Only the waiter waiting at the door noticed him.

The slender and handsome man was well-dressed and imposing, and had received all kinds of guests. The waiter naturally guessed that the visitor was either rich or noble, and nodded respectfully.

Fu Jichen ignored them and looked in through the open door. It was the girl he met by chance in the elevator.

She was sitting in a carved black lacquered wood chair, holding the cello in her arms. Her half-twisted black hair hung softly on her cheeks, and the tips of her hair swept across the rise and fall of her chest. Her dark blue tube top starlight skirt was hanging on her cheeks. It shines like a starry river under the blazing white light.She tilted her head slightly, half of her face facing the door was as calm as water, and from a relatively short distance, she could see her lightly pursed upper and lower lips.

The girl's arm drew beautiful lines in the air with the movement of playing the violin, and the whole dynamic picture seemed to be covered with a soft filter, like a dream.

After looking at it for a long time, Fu Jichen forgot about the cigarette burning between his fingers. The burning touch was transmitted to his fingertips. He shook slightly, and a long piece of cigarette ash fell on the expensive carpet.

In the banquet hall, those who know the piano and those who don't know the piano are all intoxicated, either immersed in the natural sound of the piano like flowing water, or intoxicated by Shen Jianian's beauty.

"I've been looking for you everywhere, and I've come here to hide."

A joking voice sounded beside his ear, and Fu Jichen didn't look back.

Lu Yanzhi came striding over, looked over Fu Jichen and looked into the banquet hall, and asked doubtfully, "What kind of show is going on here, it's quite elegant."

Fu Jichen still didn't answer, turned around indifferently, and conveniently extinguished the cigarette butt on the lid of the trash can on the side of the corridor, leaving a faint scent of tobacco in the air.

Lu Yanzhi copied it into the pocket of his suit trousers with one hand, walked leisurely to catch up with the person in front, and said in a leisurely tone, "I remembered, today is Qin Zhongtian's old mother's birthday, and it was held in this hotel, half a month ago I sent you an invitation, but you ignored it."

Fu Jichen's eyes showed coldness: "What a face."

Lu Yanzhi smiled. Compared with the Fu family, Qin Zhongtian's face is really not enough, but he can't be underestimated: "You are always like this in Beicheng." He gave a thumbs up, and then said casually, "He Qin Zhongtian is in Yicheng. It's the Emperor of Earth, you're new here, it's better to make friends than to make enemies."

Fu Jichen took his words as a deaf ear.

Lu Yanzhi shrugged and said no more.

The Fu family has been at the top of the rich list for many years. The person in front of him ranks first among the younger generation of the Fu family. He is known as "Fu Da" and is the golden grandson that Mr. Fu has high hopes for.He returned to China half a year ago and took over the Junshan Group as the general manager. As soon as he took office, he made drastic changes in layoffs and replacements, and launched innovative projects. This caused turmoil in the group and angered the elders, who jointly filed a lawsuit against Mr. Fu.

In anger, the old man sent Fu Jichen to Yicheng and asked him to take charge of the subsidiaries of Junshan Group to sharpen his temper. The purpose was to teach him that being a businessman not only requires the courage to kill and make decisions, but also keeps calm.

This kind of treatment was equivalent to demotion in ancient times.

Therefore, after Fu Jichen landed in Yicheng, the direct branch of Beicheng sent many people to inquire, just to see how the high-spirited Fu Da can solve the current predicament and get a chance to return to the headquarters.

No one expected that the first thing he did was to buy a garden villa with a huge sum of [-] million yuan. The garden was full of roses, and he took in some stray cats and dogs all day long, as if he was living in Yicheng. .

Can't figure out what he is thinking.

After the song ended, Shen Jia Nian took a deep breath, stood up with the help of the cello, and bowed deeply to the guests who were watching.

The old lady Qin is an expert, and from Shen Jianian's familiar technique, she knows that she has been practicing the piano since she was a child, and she is a person who can concentrate on learning the art of piano.The old lady showed appreciation and took the lead in applauding: "Not bad, really good."

All of a sudden, there was thunderous applause, one after another.

When Yin Chengde heard the compliments from the women around him, he couldn't help but straighten his back, his face glowing red, and he felt so proud.On the contrary, his daughter Yin Shuyao's silver teeth were almost broken.

Why else?
After Shen Jianian's performance, several wealthy wives gathered around Hu Yuzhi one after another, and asked her who Shen Jianian was and if she was married.

Hu Yuzhi also couldn't be happy, her own daughter was dulled by Shen Jianian's little hooves, and she had to deal with the wives who came to hold the red line for her son in a pleasant manner.

"Jia Nian is my niece. This child is pitiful. There was an accident at home a month ago and she lost her parents. Jia Nian is still young. Her uncle and I want to keep her by our side for two more years. We are not considering marriage at the moment. Please ask all the ladies. Forgive me."

Hu Yuzhi fiddled with her clever tongue and conjured up a reason to prevaricate them. When it came to moving her face, the corners of her eyes turned red.With such superb acting skills, the actress will be willing to bow down when she sees her, she will be ashamed of herself.

The faces of the wives were strange, the girl had no father or mother, and her only support was her uncle, who had a daughter of her own, so to put it bluntly, she was a little orphan.There is no one to help behind her, and she can only be a beautiful vase when she gets married, which is pleasing to the eye, but it is actually of no benefit to the family business.

In seconds, these shrewd wives weighed the pros and cons, and each found an excuse to leave.

After Shen Jianian finished placing the precious cello, Hu Yuzhi pulled her to Mrs. Qin to talk.The old lady cherished her talent and asked her many questions.

Shen Jianian answered one by one in a clear and logical manner without being arrogant or impetuous.

The old lady Qin was very satisfied with her, and said that she would introduce her grandson to her.She raised her eyes and wandered around, but couldn't find anyone, and said with a smile: "I guess I went to chat with a friend."

Qin Zhongtian quietly came in with a glass of wine. Yin Shuyao couldn't wait any longer and winked at her mother desperately. The old lady's words of praise to Shen Jia Nian made her ears prick.

Hu Yuzhi lightly touched Shen Jianian's forearm, and reminded her with a voice that only two people could hear: "Boss Qin is here, hurry up, toast him a glass of wine."

Shen Jianian was taken aback, she didn't know how to drink.

"Hurry, what are you waiting for!" Hu Yuzhi pushed her and urged in a low voice.

Shen Jianian curled up her fingertips and took a glass of red wine from the tray held by the passing waiter. She raised her eyes and said with care like gold, "Boss Qin, I respect you."

Qin Zhongtian met her eyes and smiled softly: "Miss, the music of the piano is beautiful, and the voice is even more beautiful."

As he spoke, he drank down the red wine in the glass. His thick Adam's apple slid up and down, and the ends of his eyes raised, and he glanced at Shen Jianian through the rim of the goblet.

The naked gaze made Shen Jia Nian feel uncomfortable all over.
