Powerful and romantic

"Beauty pageant?"

Xu Junran was puzzled, he was just hanging out on the weekend, how could he be misunderstood by Cheng Hongcheng?

Speaking of beauty pageants, he really admires these people in Huaxia. Nowadays, so-called beauty contests, singing competitions, and various activity competitions are very popular in China, and each of them seems to be beaten with chicken blood. I met it once when I was in Songhe Province, but I didn't expect to meet it again here.

Later, as soon as Cheng Hongcheng introduced it, Xu Junran knew what was going on. A few days ago, when Xu Junran was having dinner with Chu Wentian, he heard Chu Wentian talk about it.

Beijing is currently organizing a Top Ten Singers Grand Prix. Of course, it claims to select the ten best singers in Beijing. It is not an exaggeration to say that this event has caused a sensation in Beijing.According to the content in the information, this event was jointly organized by several professional units in the capital.

But in fact, the so-called singing competition is just a gimmick, the real focus is on those beauties who sing.

To put it bluntly, as Cheng Hongcheng said, this singing competition looks more beautiful than singing, but actually it is more beautiful than singing beauties.

According to what Chu Wentian introduced to Xu Junran, this so-called singing competition is roughly the same as the beauty pageant in Songhe Province. Before the semi-finals, the organizer secretly changed the rules of the competition behind the back of the judges and replaced it with the results of the semi-finals. The results of the finals directly determine the candidates for the top ten singers, resulting in the bottom 20 of the 10 contestants entering the finals according to the original competition rules inexplicably disqualified for the finals.At the same time, the head judge of the award competition.And the staff of the organizer directly instructed the semi-final judges to add points to some players and deduct points to some players. Among them, the extra points directly led to two players entering the top ten, and one player ranked ahead of the top ten.The three contestants won special, first and second prizes in the finals.

Xu Junran naturally didn't care about this matter, if Chu Wentian hadn't mentioned that the person in charge of this matter was Huang Zixuan's cousin Huang Ziqing, Xu Junran would never have remembered such a thing.

The reason why he has such a deep memory of Huang Ziqing is because Xu Junran knows that Huang Ziqing's father is now the deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and a strong candidate for the mayor of the capital city.He is also a more promising cadre in the conservative faction.

"I was also called by a friend. That guy Huang Ziqing invited all the top ten singers to the party, but it doesn't make sense to come here to open your eyes."

Cheng Hongcheng called Xu Junran into his car.Said to Xu Junran with a smile.

paused.He showed an expression that any man could understand.He lowered his voice and said with a smile: "You kid, did you come here secretly? I heard from my dad that your old man is trying to arrange a blind date for you recently. I didn't expect you kid..."

Xu Junran smiled wryly. He couldn't tell Cheng Hongcheng that he really came here for a stroll.As for the blind date, he really had no choice. Elder Sun's health was not as good as before. Although he didn't die early like in history, according to the doctor, the old man could only persist for another three to five years at most.So Xu Junran could only agree to the old man's blind date with Xu Junran, he knew it very well.If he doesn't agree, maybe the old man really dares to attack Lin Yuqing and others. After all, in his eyes, his grandson is much more important than those women.

In desperation, Xu Junran had no choice but to lightly nod and said to Cheng Hongcheng: "Well, I said I was passing by, do you believe me?"

Cheng Hongcheng chuckled, but said nothing.

It was already six or seven o'clock in the evening when the two of them went up the mountain, and the car finally stopped outside a small white two-story building hidden among green trees in the northwest corner of Xiangshan Mountain. There seems to be nothing special about the ordinary residential buildings newly built by households.But when you walk into the closed small house, the landscape inside is quite different from those of the rich families who have just made a fortune: there are golden osmanthus trees covered with yellow flowers on both sides of the gate, and the rich and fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance permeates the small house. Exquisite courtyard.There are two pomegranate trees in front of the small building, and there are huge red pomegranates hanging on the branches, which seem to be smiling to welcome every guest who comes to the courtyard.In the middle of the courtyard, there is a corridor paved with colorful gravel, which leads directly to the main entrance of the small building.There is a long green grape trellis above the corridor, and clusters of purple-red grapes stained with a layer of hoarfrost hang on the green vines.

On the lawn on the left side of the courtyard, a black luxury car was parked.It seems that the identity of the car owner is extraordinary.

To the west of the grape trellis, there is a wisteria trellis shaded by thick shade, under which there is a milky white marble round table surrounded by several stone drum stools carved with fine patterns.The most striking thing is the big velvet flower tree in the east corner of the house. The pink velvet flowers sway gently under the night wind. Looking up, it looks like a group of fairies with flowers on their heads floating from the sky.

The waning moon hung in the air like a sickle, and the faint silver light sprinkled the ground.The crickets chirped in the grass, and the courtyard in the night looked extraordinarily quiet and harmonious, like a pocket-sized paradise.

Different from the quietness outside, although the light in the living room is a bit dim and unclear, when you walk in, you can see dozens of people dancing, and some people sitting there chatting and drinking. This kind of small-scale gathering emerged in the late 80s. It was only in the 90s that it became popular. Karaoke appeared in the capital at the beginning of 89, and it naturally became one of the hobbies of these aristocratic children. The energy of the top ten freshly released singers must not be underestimated.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Holding a wine glass and walking to Xu Junran's side, it was Sun Yufeng from the Sun family, who was five years younger than Xu Junran. Now he was studying at university, so he was naturally a member of the wealthy circle in the capital. Although no one in the Sun family was in the center now, the old man was still alive. In addition, the second generation also has a lot of influence at the provincial and ministerial level, so the third generation like Sun Yufeng still belongs to the circle of top dandies.Although he didn't deal with the Huang family, he received an invitation.Sun Yufeng still walked around.

However, what surprised him was Xu Junran's arrival.After all, although many members of the third generation of the Sun family are engaged in politics, everyone now knows that no one can be more powerful than Xu Junran, the grandson.He entered the Central Office at a young age, and he will surely become a successful person in the future. The most important thing is that Xu Junran owes his success to himself, not the strength of the Sun family.Therefore, the whole Sun family has tacitly maintained a principle, that is to build a good relationship with Xu Junran, so as not to let the family lose such a future pillar.

Xu Junran smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip before saying: "I am idle, so I came here for a walk. By the way. I heard that all the top ten singers from that singing competition have come. This Huang Ziqing has a lot of energy. I'm not afraid that their old man will fix him."

Sun Yufeng curled his lips: "He has a fart energy! Isn't this just a gimmick? I heard that the ranking of such singers was determined before, such as competitions. It's just going through the motions. By the way, don't you You know? That champion, that one, the one dancing with Huang Ziqing, seems to be his new wife."

Taking a look at the woman who danced with Huang Ziqing and was almost hanging on him, Xu Junran frowned. It seemed that this was the truth that outsiders wanted to know.something.In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be full of shady scenes, but in the eyes of real superiors, it is just a game to please beauties.

"By the way, brother, don't you know? Grandpa has arranged a date for you to want to kiss." Sun Yufeng's words made Xu Junran look at him in surprise.

"How do you know?" Xu Junran was a little puzzled.

Sun Yufeng chuckled: "My mother introduced it, and grandpa also read it, very satisfied."

As he said that, he looked at Xu Junran mysteriously and smiled: "Brother, don't you know? That girl is known as the number one iceberg in the capital. She is very beautiful, but she is a bit cold-tempered, and she doesn't pretend to talk to men at all. But the old man and Zhang He is always a comrade-in-arms, so this matter, maybe it can be done."

Sun Yufeng's mother, that is, Xu Junran's fourth aunt, works in the Ministry of Culture, and according to the old man's instructions, she is responsible for finding a well-matched wife for Xu Junran.Regarding the old man's explanation, no one dared to neglect him, so he immediately found one for Xu Junran.

"By the way, brother, I'm graduating soon, tell me, how about I go to Lingnan to find a job?" Sun Yufeng's words made Xu Junran frown.

"Xiaofeng, what do you mean?"

Glancing at Sun Yufeng, Xu Junran asked in surprise.As a direct descendant of the Sun family in the capital, will he not have a job after graduating from university?This is simply impossible. Maybe the job has already been arranged at home before he graduated from university.

Sun Yufeng chuckled, patted his head and said in a low voice, "Well, brother, I want to do business. It's really meaningless to sit in an office."

Xu Junran was stunned and speechless. Unexpectedly, this guy thought sitting in an office was meaningless and wanted to be a businessman.

I dare not agree to this matter casually. After all, Sun Yufeng is his uncle's only son, so he can say some things by himself, but he can't make the decision for him casually.

Thinking of this, Xu Junran shrugged his shoulders, shook his head lightly and said, "Xiaofeng, I can't make the decision for you. You can talk to your uncle and aunt yourself. If they agree, I'll help you say hello to Lingnan later. , you can go and follow Cao’s second brother for a while.”

Cao Junwei is now like a legendary figure in the Beijing Yamen circle. After all, it is admirable for anyone to complete the transformation from a dandy to a top businessman. People are too clear, Cao Junwei can have today, it is absolutely impressive.

"Brother, are you serious?" Sun Yufeng looked at Xu Junran in surprise.

Xu Junran smiled wryly: "Well, the premise is that uncle and aunt agree."

Looking around, Xu Junran shook his head: "Let's go, there's nothing to see."

This kind of place doesn't mean much to him, if it wasn't for Cheng Hongcheng's forceful pull, Xu Junran definitely wouldn't come here.

Sun Yufeng nodded. Anyway, for him, what Xu Junran promised him just now was enough to excite him.

The two were about to leave when several figures walked in from the door.Xu Junran didn't care, but Sun Yufeng laughed all of a sudden, his face became very strange.

Xu Junran frowned, and glanced at Sun Yufeng: "What's wrong?"

Sun Yufeng chuckled: "Brother, do you know the one in white in the middle?"

Xu Junran raised his head, followed Sun Yufeng's words and looked over there, but couldn't help being stunned.

In today's society, women who dare to go out without makeup are either the kind who give up on themselves, or those who have no money to bother their faces or are too lazy. Only a small group of people are truly "born". "Beautiful" four words, and even less is that among this small group of people who are more beautiful without makeup than with makeup.

Among the group of people who appeared in the sight of Xu Junran and Sun Yufeng was such a beautiful woman.

No makeup, no sunglasses.About 27 or eight years old.Wearing out-of-the-ordinary clothes that can never hit the shirt.But not obscure, light and dignified, which fits perfectly with her appearance and temperament.Just standing in the crowd so peacefully and very refreshingly, as if out of tune with the surrounding crowd.

"You know him?" Xu Junran glanced at the girl, and then at Sun Yufeng in surprise.

Sun Yufeng smiled dryly, stuck out his tongue and said to Xu Junran: "Don't say I said it. That girl is the person my mother introduced to you, the third child of the Xie family, Xie Bingxin."

what!

Xu Junran's face changed immediately, and he stared at Sun Yufeng with wide eyes: "Are you kidding me?"

Meeting a woman who is about to go on a blind date with him in this place, why does he feel that this is like making a movie?

Stretching out his hand to pull Sun Yufeng, Xu Junran said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

He didn't have the idea to meet the other party, not to mention that he was not very interested in this blind date.Merely meeting under such circumstances is a very embarrassing and uncomfortable matter for the two parties involved.

Things in the world are sometimes so coincidental, maybe the more you want to avoid people, the more you will meet them.

Xu Junran took Sun Yufeng and left here, but the next night, he was called to the house by his aunt. When he walked in, Xu Junran saw Xie Bingxin who had met him from a distance last night sitting there, and beside him was a The woman was talking to her aunt Meng Shuang.

"Jun Ran, come and sit down." Seeing Xu Junran coming in, Meng Shuang waved to him with a smile.

Xu Junran knew something was wrong as soon as he entered the door, but in this situation, he couldn't turn around and leave, so he had no choice but to go in, called Meng Shuang's aunt, and sat on the sofa, facing the ice beauty.

"Sister Lin, this is our grandson's nephew, Xu Junran, who works in the Central Office."

Meng Shuang smiled and introduced to the middle-aged woman opposite Xu Junran. The woman had been looking at Xu Junran up and down since he entered the door. She was in her 40s and wore a pair of glasses. She looked like an intellectual. Temperament.

Speaking, Meng Shuang introduced to Xu Junran: "This is your Aunt Lin, who has been my old colleague for many years. This is her daughter Xinxin."

Xu Junran politely nodded and said hello to the other party: "Aunt Lin, hello."

He is also a person in charge of one party's authority, so he naturally understands what Meng Shuang means. Although Sun Yufeng told him about the blind date yesterday, Xu Junran will naturally not point it out now, so he can only pretend to be confused and act.

Aunt Lin's name is Lin Hui, and she seems to be well maintained. Sitting with Xie Bingxin, some people will believe that they are mother and daughter. Your nephew is really a talent."

Xu Junran sighed helplessly in his heart, this blind date is really not something that people do, it feels very uncomfortable to be judged there like a commodity.

Meng Shuang and Lin Hui are also old acquaintances. They have worked together for many years, and the elders of the two families are relatively close comrades-in-arms, so relatively speaking, the relationship is also very good.The two women began to praise Xu Junran and Xie Bingxin constantly, implying that they were very satisfied with this pair.

Xu Junran sat there silently for more than an hour. Seeing that his uncle hadn't come back, Xu Junran simply stood up and said to Meng Shuang, "Auntie, I still have work over there. Vice Premier Chen will meet with foreign guests tonight."

Meng Shuang and Lin Hui were taken aback for a moment, and then glanced at each other. Meng Shuang asked in surprise, "Do you have to go? You see, Aunt Lin and Bingxin are here. Let's have dinner together."

Xu Junran smiled wryly: "Auntie, I didn't know that Aunt Lin was here before. Vice Premier Chen will listen to my report tonight, look..."

He really didn't expect the blind date to come so fast. After Sun Yufeng mentioned it to him before, Xu Junran didn't take it seriously, thinking that it would take a while to arrange it. He didn't expect Meng Shuang to do things so fast. Today, I used the name of my uncle to deceive myself.

Lin Hui laughed at this time: "It's okay, it's okay, if you have something to do, go there first."

As she said that, she glanced at her daughter Xie Bingxin, smiled and said to Xu Junran: "It happens that Bingxin is going to the office to do some business. Junran, if you have time, you can take her with you. How about it? No trouble?"

Xie Bingxin's face changed, and he opened his mouth, but seeing his mother's expression, he didn't make a sound.Of course Xu Junran understood what they meant, it was nothing more than creating a space for himself and Xie Bingxin to be alone. In order to match him and this ice beauty, the elders really took great pains.

Nodding slightly, Xu Junran said, "Okay, it's okay."

Ps:

I'm sorry, I drank too much yesterday, I actually wrote the story of the beauty pageant before, I'm really sorry, it has been changed now, please understand.

There are too many relatives coming and going during the Chinese New Year, and yesterday they fed me too much.
