Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 79
"Old Qiao, congratulations are late for the late student. I wish you good luck like the East China Sea and the South Mountain." Meng Haoxiang handled such scenes with ease, and his speech and behavior were both polite and personal. Compared with those old-fashioned and vulgar businessmen, he really He is the youngest outstanding junior in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Qiao Zhiqing wore a bright yellow jacquard silk shirt tonight, with a smile all over his face, his face glowing, and he looked radiant.He drank some wine with Meng Haoxiang, caught a glimpse of Ye Zijin beside Meng Haoxiang, hehe said to Meng Haoxiang: "It's that lady from that day, it's your translator now, let me just say..."

Meng Haoxiang changed the topic with some embarrassment: "Old Qiao's birthday banquet tonight is really grand. I heard that Boss Liang specially ordered a golden Buddha as a birthday present, and the Su embroidered Jinyun Shouzi given by Governor Huang is also unusual. Precious."

Qiao Zhiqing waved his hand and said, "The gifts are similar, with gold and silver on them, but your pair of "Pictures of Quiet Interests in Clouds and Mountains" and that antique enamel pocket watch are really good."

With a smile on Meng Haoxiang's lips, he said, "Old Qiao, as long as you like it."

Ye Zijin felt strange for a while, because she only bought the "Picture of Quiet Interest in Cloud Mountain". As for the enamel pocket watch, she has never bought it. Could it be that Meng Haoxiang prepared it himself?It seems that Meng Haoxiang has already prepared a congratulatory gift. Did he intend to test her ability?

When Meng Haoxiang talked with these three people, Ye Zijin seemed redundant at the side. What the men talked about was only about money and power, and she was not interested in listening.

At this moment, Wen Ying came over, and smiled sweetly at the four men present: "I'll take Miss Ye to meet some good sisters, and we women won't mix in your men's chats, won't Boss Meng disagree? ?”

Meng Haoxiang smiled back, and said, "How come, it's just that Miss Wen can't let me lose my partner later."

Wenying blinked playfully and said, "Don't worry, I must send Miss Ye back to Boss Meng before dancing."

Ye Zijin was pulled to the far side by Wenying. She didn't understand why Wenying did this suddenly, but she just met her, so why Wenying acted like she knew her very well.

"Miss Ye, I think I have seen you before. Although you were dressed like a boy at that time, I can still recognize your eyes, and you were a hawker who could speak foreign language. You were the one who sold roses and cigarettes, right?" Wenying said with a soft smile.

Ye Zijin didn't know how to answer for a while, but Wenying actually knew her details, which seemed a bit unfriendly.

Wen Ying held the wine glass, swirled the red wine in the glass, and sipped it slowly. The halo in the glass made her face like a peach blossom, charming and charming.Ye Zijin once heard that French women never leave cigarettes and red wine, but now seeing this woman drinking red wine, there is indeed a special charm.

Seeing that Ye Zijin was silent, Wen Ying said with bright eyes, "I know you have an unusual relationship with Boss Meng, but sometimes feelings are just a joke, so don't take it too seriously. Women like you and me, born in poverty, don't If you have a good family background, you should be satisfied if you can find a backer. Don’t expect too much about fame or anything else, otherwise you will be fetching water from a bamboo basket..."

The more Ye Zijin listened, the more puzzled she became. Wenying asked her why she meant what she said, and how she classified herself and her as the same type of woman.It's not that Ye Zijin doesn't look down on actors and actresses, she just doesn't look down on women who depend on men for a living.

"Miss Wen, I think you have misunderstood me. I am just an interpreter for Baohui International Co., Ltd. Boss Meng is indeed my backer. Without him speaking, I really can't get paid. It's just that this backer is a bit stingy. I'm too busy with work. It's only twenty oceans a month, and it's nothing compared to Miss Wen who can make Young Master Huang spend a lot of money." Ye Zijin vaguely knew what Wen Ying was trying to persuade her, presumably Wen Ying must have misunderstood that she was deliberately trying to get her money. Climb to the tall branch of Meng Haoxiang.

Seeing Ye Zijin's delicate and gentle nature, Wen Ying thought that these words would make her retreat, but she didn't expect Ye Zijin to say these words to mock her.Then she suppressed her smile and said: "If Ms. Ye doesn't listen to her advice, she will suffer a loss sooner or later. No one knows that Hua Jinkun's niece He Manling has been in love with Meng Haoxiang for a long time, so there is still time for you to quit now, so don't get into trouble. "

Ye Zijin was a little helpless, why did Wenying bring up He Manling again, even if everyone knew that He Manling liked Meng Haoxiang, it had nothing to do with Ye Zijin, she was forced to come here, Wenying said it as if she was sloppy As if sticking to Meng Haoxiang.

Wen Ying sighed softly, and said: "This man's love is not long-lasting. They will always choose their wives for the sake of their future. Look away early so as not to be sad later..." Although these words were meant for Ye Zijin, As if she was telling it to herself, Wenying raised her eyes and glanced at Huang Jiajun in the crowd, seeing that he was talking and laughing happily with a group of officers, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she drank the red wine in her glass on her back.

At this time, the music sounded, the lights dimmed, and the gorgeous tune of the waltz was played. The guests came and went and danced with their partners.

Wenying bowed slightly, and pointed with a smile: "Miss Ye, you can see that Boss Meng dances really well."

Looking in the direction Wen Ying pointed, I saw He Manling and Meng Haoxiang dancing, and He Manling leaned on Meng Haoxiang's shoulder as a bird, dancing to a romantic and melodious tune.

Ye Zijin understood everything in an instant. It turned out that Wen Ying deliberately dismissed her so that He Manling could create an opportunity.He Manling didn't come directly to Meng Haoxiang just now, perhaps because she was afraid that Meng Haoxiang would refuse because he had a partner.He Manling was so well-intentioned that even Ye Zijin was about to be "moved".

Wen Ying showed a satisfied smile, and said: "Look at how well the two of them danced together, Miss Ye, I won't say much else, I'm going to dance with Young Master Huang, you can go shopping by yourself."

Ye Zijin sneered and said, "Miss Wen, please go ahead."

Wen Ying swayed past her, Ye Zijin saw that she had nothing to do tonight, so she wanted to get away from the crowd.Due to the dim light and the moving figures, Ye Zijin could only grope in the direction of the entrance of the hall based on his impressions. When he didn't pay attention, he felt that something was under his feet, which almost tripped her.

Suddenly hearing "Ouch", Ye Zijin froze in place in shock.A man stood in front of her and said angrily, "You stepped on my foot, don't you have eyes when you walk?"

Ye Zijin hurriedly made an apology, and when the changing light shone on her fair face, the person opposite was stunned for a second, then his attitude changed suddenly, and he said in a flattering tone: "I'm sorry, I was careless just now, If you don't mind Miss, you can dance with me, my surname is Ding Mingkai."

Ye Zijin saw that this man had oiled hair, a white suit, a black shirt, and a red bow tie, which was different from ordinary men's clothes.There was a frivolous smile on the corners of his lips, a suave attitude, and a pair of eyes staring straight at him. Ye Zijin didn't have a good impression of this person.

"I don't know how to dance, sir, you should invite others." Ye Zijin politely refused, but she was telling the truth, she really didn't know how to dance this kind of cuddling dance.

But Ding Kai thought it was Ye Zijin who was pretending to wait for his compliment, so he said courteously: "Miss, you are so beautiful, how can you not know how to dance? If you really don't know how, I can teach you."

Seeing this man's thick skin, Ye Zijin felt even more disgusted, but seeing that there were other people present, she said politely: "I'm really sorry, I'm not interested in dancing, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Ye Zijin finished speaking Just as he was about to leave, he did not expect that his shoulders were held vigorously by a hand, and he pulled him back to his original position. A smile appeared on the corner of Ding Kai's mouth, and he said, "Miss, don't go, dancing is very fun, don't believe me!" Just try it and you'll know." As he said that, he went to hug Ye Zijin's waist.

Ye Zijin hurriedly took a few steps back in fright, but Ding Kai still walked towards her unwillingly.

Suddenly a black shadow stood in front of Ye Zijin. Ding Kai wanted to push the person away, but he was stunned for a second, then smoothed the hair on his forehead carelessly, and said, "Who am I? It turned out to be Boss Meng!" .”

Meng Haoxiang had a half-smile, and said, "Master Ding, don't come here without any problems."

Ding Kai cast a sideways glance at Meng Haoxiang, "I'm not interested in negotiating business with you, Boss Meng. I'm about to invite a beautiful lady to the dance floor."

Ding Kai was crowned as the head of the top four sons of Shanghai Bund by the various romantic events. He usually likes to spend time and drink, and he does mischief outside because of his family's wealth and power. It is rumored that he once rented out an entire brothel for him to have fun. Feng Li and Although Huang Jiajun is on the same list, his absurdity is far less than that of this dude.

Meng Haoxiang suddenly walked towards Ye Zijin, grabbed her waist, and said to Ding Kai, "I'm sorry, Young Master Ding, Miss Ye is my dance partner, I was looking for her just now."

Ding Kai said contemptuously: "Didn't Boss Meng just danced with Ms. He? Why do you call this lady your dance partner now? Why would the dignified Boss Meng find a woman who can't dance as a dance partner?"

Meng Haoxiang smiled and said, "I don't need Young Master Ding to ask me what kind of dance partner I want. Tonight is Mr. Qiao's birthday party, so it's better for Young Master Ding not to pester me any longer."

Ding Kai has always held grudges against Meng Haoxiang. Since Meng Haoxiang took over Baohui Foreign Firm, he has robbed his Dapu Foreign Firm of a lot of business. After all, Dapu Foreign Firm is regarded as the leader of Chinese merchants and foreign firms, and it has declined in recent years.Ding Kai has always been used to domineering and domineering, and he is not afraid of Meng Haoxiang's influence. He just wanted to win his breath, and said: "As the saying goes, a gentleman is a good lady, since Boss Meng and I both like the same dance partner, why don't we use a man's How about drinking? Whoever gets drunk first will lose, and whoever wins can dance with this young lady."

Ye Zijin felt baffled when he heard this, as if he had become an object of contention between the two in an instant.To Ye Zijin's surprise, Meng Haoxiang agreed!
Some drunken people around started booing, and some men clapped their hands and waited to see a good show.Boss Meng of Baohui Co., Ltd. and the son of Dapu Co., Ltd. joined forces to drink for a woman. This lace news will make the blood of many tabloid reporters excited.

Ye Zijin was secretly complaining about the rudeness and boredom of the men's world, but she suddenly remembered that Meng Haoxiang still had injuries on his body, and it was even more difficult for the wounds to heal after drinking like this.She coughed twice, then shook her head slightly at Meng Haoxiang, signaling him not to accept Ding Kai's proposal.

Seeing her worried eyes, Meng Haoxiang smiled lightly, then took the wine glass from the waiter's plate, motioned to Ding Kai, and drank it down in one gulp.

Ding Kai did not show weakness, he asked someone to fill up his wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.The two of you drink one cup and another cup, drinking continuously, Ye Zijin looks very worried from the side.The Meng Haoxiang she knew had always been calm and considerate of the overall situation, and she didn't understand why he was uncharacteristically angry with a dude today.

One dance followed the other, and I don't know how many rounds they drank, but Ding Kai staggered a few steps and failed to stop, finally collapsed on the ground, and several accompanying people lifted him up, his face flushed from drinking, out.The dance was still going on, and the band played a new dance music, the tune was lingering and beautiful, and it was sultry.The spectators gradually dispersed, and the beautiful woman smiled sweetly, and walked onto the dance floor one after another with her male partner by her side.

Ye Zijin saw Meng Haoxiang's pale face, tightly pursing his lips, and his expression was a little painful. Even though he drank a lot of wine just now, his face didn't necessarily turn red.After Ding Kai was carried away, Meng Haoxiang barely got out of the hall with his body supported, and Ye Zijin hurriedly followed.In the spacious corridor, Meng Haoxiang was resting with his back against the wall, but his body could not stop sliding down slowly, and finally sat on the ground against the wall.

Ye Zijin had no choice but to find a waiter to help him upstairs to rest. It seemed that Meng Haoxiang would not be able to go back tonight, so he could only sleep in a hotel room for the time being, and then inform Qian Jiang to come here to pick him up tomorrow morning.

After the waiter left, Ye Zijin put the quilt on Meng Haoxiang's body, and saw that he had already passed out, and the breath he exhaled also had a strong smell of alcohol, it seemed that he was quite drunk this time.Ye Zijin poured another glass of water and put it on the table beside the bed, and after she settled everything, she turned off the light and left.

When she went to the door and opened it, she couldn't open it no matter what, and then realized that the door was locked from the outside!
