Li Dun is the first high-end hotel brand under Zhu's. From planning, completion to operation, Zhu Li alone is the leader. The interior decoration of the ultimate European classical style and the exterior decoration of the Byzantine dome ceiling have made it attract the attention of the industry since the beginning of its construction. On the day of the ribbon cutting, guests are naturally welcome.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Li, dressed in a wine-red dress, stood under the magnificent arched porch of the hotel, personally receiving guests who came to the opening ceremony.
When she was shaking hands with a group of guests, the assistant attached to her ear and said: "Ms. Xu can't be contacted. The driver you sent has been closed for half an hour."
"The call continues."
The assistant made a few more calls, but no one answered: "If Miss Xu can't make it, there will be one less ribbon-cutting person, I am afraid it will be unlucky..."
There are five people who cut the ribbon today, including Zhu Li's owner. Xu Qiao, a daughter of Jinlu Jewelry and a close friend of Zhu Li, is also one of them.
It's just that now there is only half an hour left before the ceremony, but she is missing.
"Ready to substitute," Zhu Li glanced around in place, tracing his eyes on Cheng Ye, who was full of energy and light. "Just walked past the four-line female star, the female companion of Young Master Cheng."
Zhu Li probably guessed what happened to Xu Qiao.
Xu Qiao's requirements for wearing are almost abnormal. She didn't want to wear clothes that could be bought everywhere on such ostentatious occasions, and the Gaoding stolen from home was ruined by coffee.
Although Zhu Li gave her a set of her own custom-made items, the figures of the two are too far apart-Zhu Li is the essence of dry wood, but Xu Qiao is the essence of snake.
Her skirt is indeed a bit wronged, Miss Xu has nowhere to put the key parts.
According to Ms. Xu's temper, if she can't make a brilliant appearance, she would rather not appear.
A quarter of an hour later, the assistant told Zhu Li that the substitute was already in place: "It's not good to be delayed, and I can't wait for Miss Xu."
"Then let the female star come on." Zhu Li pressed his temple and walked into the hall full of friends.
At the tea table, a few young female guests who have not yet been seated, are holding a goblet. You come and I am laughing.
Someone brought up a new story: "Why didn't you see the gourd baby today?"
Someone immediately answered: "Yes, she didn't come to Sotheby's auction a few days ago, didn't she and Zhu Li are very good, even this kind of day did not show up?"
There was a young girl outside and asked ignorantly: "Sister, who are you talking about?"
"Xu Qiao of Jinlu, don't you know?"
"Oh, I know, a very beautiful sister, but why call her gourd baby?"
Several people in the know laughed tremblingly, and only after laughing enough, someone explained: "Little cute, you don’t know,'Jinlu Jewelry' was originally called'Fulu Jewelry'. Xu Qianjin just transferred to Beicheng to study when she was in elementary school. It was introduced that the company called Calabash Jewelry. We were all surprised. We never heard of it. We knew after inquiring about it. Oh, it turned out to be Fulu Jewelry. Xu Qianjin is from Nancheng, and FH does not distinguish it!"
As he said, the group covered his mouth and laughed again.
When Zhu Li walked into the venue, he just heard the map cannon, and his eyes swept over coldly.
Everyone stopped talking.
With the stars Gongyue in the midst, Wen Yue, who has been silent, raised his wine glass, and smiled at Zhu Liyao without a smile.
The assistant whispered behind Zhu Li: "Mr. Zhu, don't get angry in happy days. They are all the nobles who look up and bow down..."
Zhu Li nodded to Wen Yue with a cold face, regarded as greeting, and looked back.
If you don't know Xu Qiao's past, Zhu Li might scold her for her perfectionism today, "to face and suffer."
But she understood why Xu Qiao lived so hard.
After Zhu Li passed, several people continued to talk loudly.
"Hey, you said, if the Calabash Baby has disappeared for so long, will something happen to the Xu family? Isn't her father a good gamble? Isn't Jin Lu going bankrupt?"
"That wouldn't be enough..."
"It's hard to tell, I heard from my dad that Jinlu has been going downhill in recent years, and casinos have changed more rapidly than shopping malls. If Xu Kangrong really has something to do at the gambling table, there is only one sloppy daughter and an underage son left. , Really no one can save Jin Lu, then..."
"At that time," a smiling female voice interrupted several people's whispers, "contact the Swedish Academy to see if your wonderful story is enough to nominate the Nobel Prize in Literature?"
When everyone froze, they looked out of the double doors and saw Xu Qiao wearing a curvy lilac and purple high slit embroidered skirt and a pair of crystal shoes full of diamonds, standing there looking at them with a smile.
They are all women who are addicted to bags, and they recognize at a glance that the metallic crocodile leather dinner bag in Xu Qiao's hand is a priceless antique model, and that skirt is also a high-level custom made by the same brand at the beginning of the year.
It's just that Xu Qiao's skirt has a lot of tailoring compared to the original style of retro and conservative style. The slit is close to the base of the leg, and the side waist is also more flower-shaped.
It seems that because of this, she painted a pale gold rose on the skin of the hollow for neutralization, and put on another belt-the metal fringe on the bottom edge of the belt buckle just hangs down on the side of the leg. Hugh was fascinated.
Looking at the past this way, everyone was dizzy, and a long-standing question crossed their hearts: There are many people who are richer than the Xu family, but why they throw money can only make people feel "so rich", Xu Throwing money away will make people feel "this is too amazing, right"?
You know, they have witnessed with their own eyes how much a hillbilly Xu Qiao is.
But now the ugly duckling raised his beautiful white swan neck and smiled at the startled crowd: "Why, don't you like to win the Nobel Prize in Literature? Do you only like to arrange stories quietly behind people, Miss Wen?"
Wen Yue raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Baoxing beside him.
The words of Xu's family were arranged just now, not by her, but by Zhao Baoxing. She has always been responsible for the noble, cold, glamorous and silent occasions like this kind of tongue-chewing occasion, and all the things that move her mouth are left to the "stars" that hold her.
"Huh, I heard it wrong?" Xu Qiao followed to look at Zhao Baoxing, "I heard Miss Wen's voice outside the door. Is it Miss Zhao who tells the story?"
Zhao Baoxing paled and said nothing.
She and Xu Qiao had torn their faces 800 years ago, and there is nothing to admit in private.
But I don't know if it was a coincidence. The moment Xu Qiao entered the door, the music in the venue suddenly stopped. Her few words easily penetrated half of the field, causing many people to focus on them.
Zhao Baoxing came with his father today. My father always didn't like her to make trouble outside, if she confessed in public and lost the face of Zhao's family, she might be dealt with.
"No, I didn't..." Zhao Baoxing bit the bullet and threw the pot to Wen Yue.
Wen Yue sank his face, glanced at Zhao Baoxing coldly, set aside his wine glass and left the venue.
Xu Qiao looked confused and said to herself: "Aren't these two good sisters? One star a month, what's wrong?"
The accompaniment sounded again, and the episode of the girl's house was over. Except for the faces of Wen and Zhao's family who were not pretty, the other guests continued to talk and laugh casually.
Xu Qiao walked to Zhu Li: "The sound controller has cooperated well."
Zhu Li looked at her a few times: "Where is the dress? It's not mine."
"The one splashed with coffee. I was chasing the garbage truck when you called me."
"..." This spirit of being able to bend and stretch is definitely the one who made a big deal. Whoever scolds Princess Xu Qiao for being sick, Zhu Li is the first to jump.
Zhu Li leaned close to the dress and smelled it, but it didn't smell sour. There was some coffee smell, but Xu Qiao was very smart and sprayed the same perfume to cover it.
"But why didn't you see the coffee stains?" Zhu Li reacted after asking, this split, this hollow, Xu Qiao was obviously a magical brush, and he cut the stained part directly.
Realizing this, she couldn't help but look in awe when she looked at the dress again.
Some people always say that Xu Qiao's straw bag is actually just that his face is so outstanding that it hides other shining points. In terms of design taste, those people are separated from Xu Qiao by the Pacific Ocean. It is estimated that they are still stupidly thinking that Xu Qiao's wear is frequently sought after by authoritative trends, and it depends on beauty.
but……
Zhu Li frowned: "I remember correctly, didn't you learn jewelry design? Do you dare to have a hand in costume design?"
"It's all called design, isn't it the same?"
"..." The fairy is almost the same.
Xu Qiao arrived in time, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held as planned, and the curtain went down perfectly.
But the four-line female celebrities were not happy, and kept crying in the corner of the venue.
Xu Qiao felt that the other party was sad. I took the script of the critically ordered script and pulled out all the forty-meter swords. In the end, he said that he wouldn't be allowed to save the field. Isn’t that a shame? No one wants to change.
For example, after changing to Wen Yue and encountering this, maybe the Wen family can put Zhu Li and Xu Qiao together.
But Zhu Li looked far ahead, and the female star he was looking for had no background and no background. The gold master who had just climbed was still Xu Qiao's loyal fan-Cheng Ye.
Therefore, this matter is destined to not make waves.
At most, Xu Qiao was blocked by Cheng Ye after the ribbon cutting.
After the ribbon-cutting, there will be a cocktail party, which is the main purpose of celebrities gathering here-social networking. Xu Qiao was heading to the banquet hall, and when he saw the obstacle, he smiled: "Little Young Master Cheng is here to make a bad anger for his female companion?"
"Which green onion is she? Weeping, crying, annoying."
"Then what did Young Master Cheng ask me for? I've been promoted to Chief Xiao Cheng, you should take care of everything."
Cheng Ye was taken aback for a moment: "When did I become Xiao Cheng, how come I don't know..."
Half of what he said, the phone rang, and when he saw Cheng Lang's call, he didn't dare to call it through: "Second brother, ah, you are here in Lidun? Oh, well, I'll call someone to arrange.
Xu Qiao took the opportunity to walk towards the banquet hall, but was caught again after not taking two steps.
Pull and pull every day, touch her without washing your hands?
She turned around and was about to scold, but when she turned her head, she heard a faint "呲".
It seems that there is a world of difference between costume design and jewelry design.
Because this skirt, which was drastically modified by her, split openly after such a big move.
Xu Qiao's expression was ugly, and her handbag moved to cover her waist.
Cheng Ye was stunned by her expression, and let go and smiled, "I'll go pick up my second brother first, and see you in the banquet hall later."
"and many more."
Xu Qiao tried to move, but found that the waistline on the other side was also cracked. She clamped her arms tightly. She couldn't even get a mobile phone from her handbag, so she could only call Cheng Ye: "Um... I'm a little cold. Get me a coat."
Cheng Ye didn't know what was going on, so proud of the spring breeze, he immediately unbuttoned his suit.
"Don't wear yours!" Xu Qiao stopped him.
Cheng Ye's electric purple suit was as eye-catching as her. If you wear his coat, you won't be able to settle your entangled relationship with him.
People swaggered with their celebrity female companions today, and the two of them were still cuddling. In this way, she can't be arranged into a shameless mistress by those long tongue women? And it's the kind that everyone can believe.
"You are so ugly! You asked Zhu Li to help find one." Xu Qiao stiffly turned to his side, "Thanks...thank you."
Just as Cheng Ye was about to ask, "Do you still need to ask someone to help with this kind of trivial matter, who should I look down on?" Then he heard the phone ring.
This time it was Cheng Lang's special help.
He did not dare to delay any longer, leaving a sentence of "Then you wait for me here" hurriedly downstairs, seeing Cheng Lang coming in from the front entrance of the hotel, he immediately greeted him: "Second brother, how come you come to Lidun? So leisurely situation."
Cheng Lang stood still, with an expression of "What nonsense is this asking?" "Because of leisure."
Cheng Ye choked and touched the back of his head, halfway through, and patted his head vigorously: "Hey, brother, wait a moment, you go to the banquet hall first, I'm in a hurry to get a coat." He pointed. On the glass wall of the aisle on the second floor, "The little girl said it was cold, and she thought my clothes were ugly."
Cheng Lang looked in the direction of his fingers and saw a woman with a slender figure with her back facing this direction, cautiously against the glass wall, her hand wrapped tightly on her side, and when someone passed by in the corridor, she looked right and left casually, posing for someone. Gesture.
But the back that was ignored by her, at this moment tore out a dazzling and embarrassing white.
Cheng Lang's pupils shrank, he quickly retracted his gaze, paused, and raised his hand to unbutton his suit.
As soon as Cheng Ye transitioned from the emotion of "His brother is his brother, he did this A when he took off his coat" to the question of "Wait for his brother to take off his coat", he heard a cold and merciless final word
"The little girl looks boring to you, so I'll break the jacket after sending it." Cheng Lang said, pulling up the high-definition suit in his hand and lifting his chin, "It's not ugly."
