Chapter seven hundred and twenty first dance
The French Consulate holds a dance party every year on the Lantern Festival and invites representatives from all walks of life to participate.
On the one hand, this can win people's hearts, and on the other hand, it can also canvass votes for the election of directors of the Industrial Bureau to be held soon.
On this day, all those who were able to receive invitations were top figures in various industries in Quan Shanghai.
Even in many industries, it is considered as an important criterion for determining the industry's status.
Although the dance will only start in the evening, after lunch, the guests who attended will start to come one after another.
Fernan arrived at around 5 pm, and the dance party was about to begin.
He was qualified to bring a female companion and a friend in, so he brought Huanhuan and Xu Wenqiang.
These days, Xu Wenqiang has also visited many representatives from all walks of life who have voting rights, but the efficiency of visiting one by one is not as good as visiting today.
Because it was the Lantern Festival, the consulate also used local customs to decorate the lanterns and posted couplets at the door.
In the villa, the crystal chandeliers were turned on and soft light was shining.
The entrance porch, entrance hall, and all the way to the banquet hall are full of guests.
The old man wearing glasses and walking on a cane; the young woman with eyebrows and eyes drawn and eye-catching jewelry; the adult man with gentle smiles and greetings and jokes; everyone gathered together in groups of three, talking and laughing.
There is a sofa next to the banquet hall for rest, but no one goes to sit down. Everyone takes advantage of this rare opportunity to make friends and make contact with each other.
As soon as Xu Wenqiang came in, he began to get ready. Many of the guests present were rare big shots.
He wanted to visit him before, but he was rejected by the other party. When he saw him today, he wanted to go up and say hello.
However, after he asked Fernan, he was stopped by Fernan.
"Why are you anxious? Didn't President Zhao agree to recommend you? You are here now and people don't know you, so it's okay to be polite to you. If you have a bad attitude, President Zhao will take you over to visit you again. Didn't he intentionally let others not come to Taiwan?"
President Zhao Jinqing, who was the person who asked Mr. Sun to take Xu Wenqiang there that day and introduced him to him. He is one of the three Chinese directors of the Shanghai Engineering Department and the director of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that he is the most powerful person in Shanghai.
Originally, Mr. Sun planned to arrange Wang Jingwei as the next Chinese director through him.
But Fernan came out here, and he had to give the opportunity to Fernan's people.
When we met that day, President Zhao had already agreed to Fernan that he would recommend Xu Wenqiang to the core director of the Taxpayer Association at today's dance.
The Shanghai Taxpayer Association was a representative organization spontaneously organized by the Chinese people after the establishment of the concession, and the Industrial Bureau established the Chinese director seats through them.
It can be said that gaining their support means that you have already won a seat on the board.
Hearing Fei Nan's words, Xu Wenqiang also realized that he was excellent and impatient, so he came to the sofa next to him, sat down, and waited quietly.
There are some nuts on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and the kitchen staff holds teapots and wine bottles to help the guests add sweet tea and wine.
Suddenly, Xu Wenqiang pestled Fenan with his elbow and whispered: "Brother Nan."
Fei Nan looked along his gaze, but saw Feng Jingyao walking in with Feng Chengcheng in his arms, saying hello all the way.
Behind them was a slightly haggard man, Ding Li.
"Go and say hello?"
Fernan looked at him.
Xu Wenqiang was a little hesitant and was a little confused for a moment.
Fei Nan shook his head, got up, held Huanhuan, and walked towards Feng Jingyao and others.
Xu Wenqiang saw him set off, and for a moment he got up and followed quickly.
Feng Jingyao soon noticed Fei Nan who was walking towards him, and his smile couldn't help but fade.
"Boss Feng, long time no see."
Fenan smiled and said hello to him, then looked at Feng Chengcheng, who was uneasy beside him, and nodded: "Cheng Cheng, you haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Okay...long time no see."
Feng Chengcheng was wearing a European-style dress. Although it was a bit inconvenient to move, he looked elegant and luxurious, beautiful and charming.
There were many guests and female relatives in the banquet hall, but as soon as she appeared, the others seemed to be a little dim.
Feeling that his attitude was not very appropriate, Feng Chengcheng stroked the hair in front of his ears and nodded to greet Huanhuan: "Huanhuan, long time no see, do you miss me?"
"think!"
Huanhuan nodded, raised her head and asked, "Sister Cheng Cheng, why didn't you go to play with me?"
Feng Chengcheng looked at Feng Jingyao beside him awkwardly and explained: "I'm a little busy lately. When I have time, I'll go and play with you, okay?"
"Okay! You have to keep your word!"
Huanhuan stretched out her little finger and hooked her.
Feng Jingyao looked at their hooking appearance and felt a little complicated.
This shouldn't be the case. He once had the opportunity to become a community of interests with Fernan, but because of his misjudgment, it eventually led to a parting between the two sides.
Looking back, he found that he had indeed made many wrong decisions and repeatedly cheated on Fernan.
On the contrary, Fernan ignored his past grudges and helped him when he was most critical.
Before, Feng Chengcheng told him that Fernan had promised her that he would help him through the difficulties of the company, but he didn't believe it.
But when he found out that the people on the theaters were really no longer coming to him to force him to claim compensation, he realized that it was Fernan who helped him.
He inquired that in order to compensate for the losses of theaters, Fernan specially lowered the price and sold a batch of copies of the movies at a low price, which calmed the anger of the theater owners.
He didn't know the value of the movie copy before, but now he's very clear.
Those are the real chickens that can lay golden eggs!
Unfortunately, Fernan originally planned to cooperate with him to develop a copy of the movie, but he turned it out.
Now every time he thinks about it, he wants to slap himself two big mouths.
He pushed the white ocean out.
In order to hold the Neon Man's thigh, he also helped the Neon Man destroy the movie copy, which made the fox not beat him now and made him mess with a slut. It was really not worth the effort.
He wanted to save the relationship between the two parties, but when he saw Fernan glaring at him and wished he could come up to take his skin, he clearly realized that their relationship might be difficult to save.
Xu Wenqiang chose to leave at the most difficult time, which had a huge blow to him.
In anger, he made another decision that was not wrong but not accurate - to let Axiang clear the portal.
He completely disbelief of Xu Wenqiang's argument, but he just stubbornly believed that Xu Wenqiang saw that his big tree was about to rot and found the next house's money in advance.
If it weren't for Xu Wenqiang, he and Fernan might have something to talk about, right?
Alas! It’s really a mistake, every step is wrong!
Chapter completed!
