Chapter 56 The Final Winner
Li Changshuo stood still on the stage, his sharp eyes swept around quickly, and at a glance he saw his good nephew, who was still upstairs, was sitting next to him with a contented expression, and he couldn't help but pause. After a while, his face became complicated, as if he was choked on dog food.
However, the media's camera was still staring at him, Li Changshuo immediately returned to his senses, adjusted his mood a little, and then opened his mouth in a decent manner:
"We have already seen your situation and plans, and we have a general idea in our hearts, I believe you will also We are all looking forward to the final partner of Que Xing."
After speaking, Li Changshuo smiled slightly.
Hearing his words, the various forces coming from below couldn't help but hold their breath. Some emotions are exposed, and they have already shown an impatient expression, clenching their hands, staring at this side without blinking, nostrils twitching and breathing rapidly, and even sweat dripping down nervously on the forehead. Although some still maintain some restraint and calmness, they involuntarily show small movements, which are expressions of tension.
Li Changshuo on stage calmly took all this into his eyes, he couldn't help showing a mysterious smile again, turned his head around, and sold off a little.
"Everyone knows that the headquarters of Tempering Star is abroad, and it has been developing abroad in recent years, and is not familiar with the specific situation in China. If you are not familiar with life, no matter how strong your ability is, all aspects will be greatly reduced, so Tempering Star is talented. An excellent partner is needed to provide some help to Quxing Xing in this regard, which is what Que Xing hopes the partner can provide."
"Of course, Que Xing will not treat the partner badly, and we will cooperate with the partner accordingly. Sharing some unique technologies of quenching stars, I believe everyone should know something."
Li Changshuo spoke slowly and explained his words clearly, his eyes fell down, and he saw the reactions of everyone clearly.
Although the people below were dissatisfied with his appetite, but since the quenching star had the final say here, and the final candidate has not been announced, they still endured it, so that the sweat drops on their foreheads rolled down.
The media is still working hard. They don't care who the final candidate is. What they care about is whether today's topic is hot enough and whether it can attract enough people's attention. These are enough. Therefore, the cameras in their hands switched back and forth between Li Changshuo and everyone present, faithfully recording his words and everyone's reactions, looking forward to detonating a topic.
At a time when everyone was watching, a member of Quxing Xing took the stage and handed Li Changshuo a note, and the media's camera immediately followed, not even letting go of the subtle expressions of the two of them.
Li Changshuo looked down and looked up after the insider of Quenching Star left, crumpled the note in his hand, and showed a sincere smile.
"Now after internal discussions, the final result has come out."
He deliberately paused, raised the tension of the people below to the highest point, and then raised the microphone again.
Originally, Ji Mianzhu was still staring at the stage attentively, waiting nervously for Li Changshuo to announce the final collaboration partner. However, the hand that was tightly clasped by Jiang Lian suddenly felt strange, and the sensitive palm was caught off guard. It was scratched by Jiang Lian's fingertips, as if being brushed by a feather, and there was a tingling.
The itchiness seemed to be reaching the heart, causing half of Ji Mianzhu's body to go numb, and his mind went blank for a moment.
At the same time, the mature and loud voice of Li Changshuo above was conveyed very clearly, with a hint of joy: "Quixing's partner is the
Ji family of Yuncheng."
"Congratulations to President Ji."
The voice fell to the ground, and the scene fell silent for a while, and countless eyes were cast towards Ji Mianzhu, brighter than a spotlight. After a long while, in the silence, the media took the lead to react, the camera was aimed at this side, and the shutter sound was continuous.
Today's news material is available!
Ji Mianzhu, who was in the center of the camera, was still a little stunned.
He was still immersed in Jiang Lian's inexplicable little movements and the strange feeling on his side. Although he was sitting upright and his face was calm, his thoughts had already flown to the sky, and he could only hear an uproar and his last name.
what happened?
Ji Mianzhu slowly raised his eyes and looked forward, but he slammed into Li Changshuo's kindly smiling eyes, and the other party's voice came over again, louder and clearer: "...I hope that in the future It's been a pleasure working with President Ji."
Hearing this, Ji Mianzhu couldn't help but be stunned.
cooperate?
Is it the collaboration he wanted?
or something else?
Ji Mianzhu was still a little confused.
However, at this time, the people he brought over came over at the right time, all of them couldn't hide their excitement, and whispered and excitedly said beside him: "Mr. Ji, we succeeded, and we won the cooperation!" Because too much Because of their excitement, their tone of voice was a little distorted. Even if it wasn't for Ji Mianzhu's terrifying reputation for being gloomy and paranoid, they all wanted to give Ji Mianzhu a loving hug.
Touching the excited expressions of his subordinates and being reminded by their words, Ji Mianzhu reacted.
The broken strings in the brain are completely connected.
Probably because of the distraction just now, his attention was drawn away by other things, so Ji Mianzhu's mood didn't fluctuate much when he suddenly heard this exciting news. He just had a result in his mind, knowing that cooperation was his own. Just got it.
It was as if he had missed the excitement, and the belated surprise was a little off.
Seeing this, Ji Mianzhu just nodded calmly at the high-level executives, his expression didn't change much, and then he stood up elegantly and calmly in the voice of Li Changshuo on the stage, and went up to give a speech.
The upper echelons were stunned. Even winning the important cooperation with Quenxing is so calm, as if this cooperation is so insignificant in his opinion... It seems that the cooperation can be easily won today, too. Under President Ji's precise calculation, maybe President Ji had foreseen today's results in advance before the news of Quenxing was released. As expected of their President Ji! The higher-ups eagerly followed Ji Mianzhu's figure. They announced that from today, they are the loyal supporters of President Ji! Even if President Ji is paranoid! Ji Mianzhu, who walked to the stage, did not know what was going on in the hearts of his subordinates. He had already put on a thick filter in the dark and became his loyal supporter. He banged against the wall. Ji Mianzhu adjusted his clothes, took the microphone from Li Changshuo's hand, and faced the audience.
Immediately, his eyes lit up, and his eyes showed adoration.
As expected of their President Ji, he was so calm!
Facing the envious, envious or annoyed eyes, he showed a generous and decent smile, opened his lips calmly and said, "I am honored to have this opportunity to cooperate with Quenxing, and the Ji family has also done a lot for this. Get ready..."
During the indifferent speech, Ji Mianzhu suddenly met Jiang Lian's gaze.
In the crowd, those dark black eyes seemed to be engraved in his heart, soft and smiling, inexplicably reminded him of the slight itch in his palm just now.
Ji Mianzhu felt something in his heart, it was warm, soft and slightly drunk, making him feel a little uncomfortable, and his fingers curled up. He hurriedly restrained his phoenix eyes, so as not to let the other party's eyes have any influence on him, in order to prevent embarrassment on the stage.
It was not until the last sentence was said that Ji Mianzhu walked off the stage in Li Changshuo's voice, "Looking forward to President Ji's performance" and returned to his position.
The personnel of Quenxing left one after another, and the following is the thank-you reception specially set up by Quenxing.
Amid the noise, Ji Mianzhu grabbed Jiang Lian's sleeve.
"Just before you came to the stage...Did you do something?" Ji Mianzhu was a little embarrassed, but he still cared about the purpose of the other party's small gesture, so that he was dragging Jiang Lian on and wanted to ask a question. . "It's the one in the palm of your hand." His words were a little awkward.
Jiang Lian couldn't help but smile when he touched Ji Mianzhu's flustered and cute expression. He raised his hand and pinched Ji Mianzhu's crimson earlobe wickedly, but the words he said were different from his thoughts, very serious:
"I saw that you were nervous, so I wanted to help you relieve it.
" Now it seems that the effect is not bad."
Ji Mianzhu was stunned for a moment, and then recalled involuntarily.
Seems to be true...
At that time, I was only thinking about what Jiang Lian meant, and I didn't have much emotional ups and downs even knowing that the cooperation was successful.
He was lost in thought.
However, at this time, Secretary Song and the two senior Ji family members who brought him came over, each took a glass of wine, and congratulated Ji Mianzhu excitedly:
"Congratulations to President Ji, we have finally reached a cooperation, these days of hard work. All the efforts are not in vain!"
"Yes, as expected of President Ji, every decision is so correct!" The
subordinates' words were both excited and with obvious respect, which was very different from the cautiousness when they first arrived. Ji Mianzhu was surrounded by them, and he instantly forgot his thoughts. He also raised his hand to take a glass of wine from the passing waiter's tray, and touched them with a smile.
Jiang Lian watched this scene with a smile, and gradually turned around and walked towards the corner of the venue.
There are few people here, and most of them are waiters, busy putting wine glasses on trays. Jiang Lian silently bypassed them, walked to a more remote place, and finally came to a deserted corridor.
There was a person standing in the corridor at this time, leaning against the wall with his legs crossed, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.
"uncle."
Jiang Lian came over and called out.
The person in the corridor turned his face, it was Li Changshuo. At this moment, the seriousness on the stage faded away, he flipped the document in his hand carelessly, looked at his good nephew, raised his eyebrows and teased: "You are really, just don't have time for this. I'd like to leave your sweetheart for a little while, so sweet that I can blow the cold wind here."
"I was on it just now, and the dog food was almost full."
There was a hint of complaint in the joke.
Hearing this, Jiang Lian couldn't help rolling his eyes, as if he liked how others interpret his relationship with Ji Mianzhu. Rarely did he not return in a cold voice, he just asked gently, "Is there something wrong with my uncle?"
Li Changshuo rubbed his eyebrows.
"It's like I'm telling you to do something..." He complained a little bit, and then he remembered the serious business and looked at his nephew again with a smile on his face.
"The partner is your sweetheart, are you happy?"
Jiang Lian couldn't see anything on his face.
"It's okay."
Li Changshuo, who was looking forward to seeing a little joy on his nephew's face, couldn't help but collapse. "You, it's really not easy to make you happy." But then, he seemed to be used to it, and quickly cleared up his regrets and explained seriously: "I didn't look at your face. It's a voted decision."
"Chenxing wants to go to the country, and what it lacks is connections and places, which requires finding a strong and powerful partner, so a group of companies with weak comprehensive strengths have been eliminated. Moreover, it is best for this partner to have something to ask for quenching the stars, so as to balance the two phases and develop peacefully, which will eliminate a few too ambitious."
Li Changshuo changed his hand to hold the document again, and sent a message. Come out a little louder.
"In the end, the most suitable ones are the Gu family and the Ji family. Both are aristocratic families and have stood for many years, and the connections behind them cannot be counted by either hand. But the new person in power of the Gu family is a little less senior, and he doesn't have any outstanding achievements in business, so he can't be reassured."
"So, the ultimate winner is your sweetheart."
Li Changshuo asked again, "Are you very proud?"
Jiang Lian was still indifferent.
"It's okay."
But the next sentence revealed all his feelings.
"I said that I believe in his ability."
Li Changshuo was stunned to the teeth again, his face twisted slightly when he saw this, and his nephew who fell in love secretly made his stomach hurt from time to time. He wisely raised the topic and began to discuss the next plan with Jiang Lian.
Fortunately, Jiang Lian quickly returned to his original state, and his black eyes calmed down again.
At the last moment, Li Changshuo, who had already planned to leave, didn't know what to think, but suddenly stopped again, and he stopped Jiang Lian, who turned and left.
"Aren't you going to tell Ji Mianzhu your identity?"
Jiang Lian was silent for a moment, then spoke up after a while.
"It's not the right time yet, let's wait a while."
Li Changshuo nodded knowingly.
The little nephew had a plan since he was a child. He didn't seem to care about anything, but in fact he kept it organized in his heart, and he was worried for nothing.
Seeing this, he turned his head and waved to the back while walking, holding the document, and muttered a few words indifferently.
"But hurry up, don't wait for someone to run away before you can't regret it."
Jiang Lian couldn't help but tighten his hand tightly when he heard the words.
The wind blowing across the corridor, but when it was some distance away from Jiang Lian, it suddenly stopped again, as if even the wind was afraid of the low pressure there.
Jiang Lian stood there silently for a while, before turning around and heading towards the place where Ji Mianzhu had been.
At this moment, Ji Mianzhu in the venue was surrounded by a group of people.
"Congratulations to President Ji, you are young and promising."
"President Ji, as the final partner of Queing Xing, please drink a few more drinks."
"Yes, come, I respect President Ji!"
As the final winner, come here There are countless people congratulating Ji Mianzhu. These people have all kinds of thoughts, and they say the same thing, but their toasts are unequivocal, and they are brought up one cup after another. Ji Mianzhu was a little tired of dealing with it. Although he had been through hundreds of battles, there were dutiful Secretary Song and the senior management who had turned into a fanboy loyally blocking the wine for him, but he couldn't stand the crowd. Still forced to drink a lot.
There were many empty wine glasses on the trays of the waiters who came and went.
Just when the others saw the needle and wanted to toast again, Gu Ren appeared.
Gu Ren, who has been on the throne of the best actor for so many years, attracted the attention of all the people here as soon as he appeared, and even the person who kept toasting Ji Mianzhu with ulterior motives stopped in a daze. Gu Ren slowly walked to Ji Mianzhu with a glass of wine, a sincere smile appeared on his charming face that was always mature and handsome.
"It seems that President Ji still needs to be better."
He winked at Ji Mianzhu.
Ji Mianzhu came back to his senses, remembering the conversation he had had with Gu Ren before, and said humbly, "President Gu is wrong, it's just a narrow victory. In time, I will definitely lose to President Gu."
He wasn't falsifying these words . , after all, as the protagonist of Gu Ren, there are not many people in this world who can truly become his opponents.
However, Ji Mianzhu couldn't say these words, and Gu Ren just thought he was being modest, shook his head when he saw this, and skipped the topic.
"Then I'll give Mr. Ji a cup to congratulate Mr. Ji."
Gu Ren glanced at the people around Ji Mianzhu and the large empty wine glasses on the waiter's tray, and could not help frowning slightly. This look disappeared in a flash, without letting others find out, Gu Ren put on a proper smile, and said warmly: "I've done it, President Ji is free."
After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.
Just when he was about to say something to Ji Mianzhu, some people who didn't wink spoke up.
"President Gu is generous! But President Ji, isn't it inappropriate to just give Mr. Gu's face? Come on, I'll give Mr. Ji another cup!" Someone else was echoing, with Ji Mianzhu's face as if he would never give up if he didn't drink it. .
Gu Ren couldn't help frowning, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Ji Mianzhu caught a glimpse of the strange look in Gu Ren's eyes, and waved at him, indicating that he was fine.
He is actually very clear about the thoughts of these people. Except for those who sincerely congratulate them, they are nothing more than their own inability to obtain them. Seeing others get them, they start to get jealous, so they can only make a fuss about others in other places.
That's about it.
If it weren't for the fact that the media were still on the side, Ji Mianzhu wouldn't give them half face at all, and staying here was just because he didn't want to cause more trouble.
Thinking of this, Ji Mianzhu smirked again after drinking two glasses of wine, but the look in his eyes became colder and colder.
Finally, when the media time was up, and after they left one after another, the expression on Ji Mian's bamboo face became colder and gloomier. He shook the empty glass in his hand, meaning he looked inexplicably at the unseen people in front of him.
"Congratulations to my heart, I don't need to drink wine."
Ji Mianzhu glanced at the people who danced the most in front of her.
"Or, what's the benefit of getting me drunk?"
Seeing that their own thoughts were revealed in public, those few people could not help but retreat a little, the smiles on their faces immediately froze, and fears arose, and they stuttered.
"Ha...haha, what does President Ji mean?"
Ji Mianzhu stared at those people coldly, and only looked at them with chills behind their backs. He also returned to his mind about President Ji's methods in Yuncheng. Inside, the cold sweat soaked his back before he sneered unintelligibly.
"It's no fun, you can do whatever you want."
After speaking, Ji Mianzhu slightly raised his chin at his secretary who was pushed outside by the crowd. Song Yan understood, passed through the crowd to support Ji Mianzhu, and the two turned to leave the chaos here.
The senior members of the Ji family, who had not known how much they had drunk, chased after him, sighing to himself that he was indeed their president, and his aura was so confusing that he dared not provoke him.
Ji Mianzhu sat down on a soft seat, resting with slightly closed eyes.
Being drunk so much, even if he had a deep drink, he couldn't help showing a hint of drunkenness. Especially if you haven't eaten anything at night and drink on an empty stomach, the alcohol will come up faster.
After sitting down for only a moment, Ji Mianzhu already felt his head dizzy. It was as if he was tied to a heavy stone and fell into the dark water.
It was getting darker and darker, and the surrounding voices gradually faded away.
Suddenly, Ji Mianzhu felt that his shoulder was gently shaken by someone. He struggled to lift his eyelids, and caught sight of the worried face of his secretary.
"Mr. Ji, are you okay?"
"...Not so good." Ji Mianzhu subconsciously spit out a sentence, but in the next second, he responded with only a little thought. Ji Mianzhu rubbed his forehead and said solemnly, "Your throat is a little dry, do you have plain water?"
Song Yan immediately stood up after hearing this.
"Mr. Ji, wait for me, I'll take a look."
Ji Mianzhu nodded and watched his secretary hurriedly leave with his eyelids on. He felt that the hurried pace of the other party seemed to be very rhythmic, making one fall asleep.
He closed his eyes slightly again.
The reception went on for the most part unknowingly.
Because Ji Mianzhu was provoked by those who didn't know what to do, and showed a little bit of his true face, the more winking people in the scene recalled that he was a famous person in Yuncheng who was not to be provoked. Dare to go over again, just silently watching from the sidelines.
Seeing that Ji Mianzhu was vaguely drunk, she completely dispelled her past thoughts, for fear that Ji Mianzhu, who had a reputation for being gloomy and paranoid, would do something unimaginable when he was drunk and hold them back.
So their eyes gradually fell on another equally excellent character - Gu Ren.
Although it is not the final winner, but the ability is also eye-catching, coupled with a wealth of family background, the future can be expected, so naturally it has become a new toast object.
The surroundings of Gu Ren were at a loss for a while.
When he finally got out and recalled his previous worries about Ji Mianzhu, a long time had passed.
After turning around in the venue, Gu Ren finally found the figure with his heart on the soft seat in the corner for the guests to chat and rest.
At this time, Ji Mianzhu was already drunk and half asleep. He slightly turned his head to the side, and some fine strands of hair fell down, which were properly placed on the side of his face, and a blush appeared on his beautiful face. The originally cold phoenix eyes were completely closed, and the end was upturned, as if trying to hook someone's heart.
The coldness and dazzling eyes just now in the crowd were completely gone, but then it was eye-catching in another sense.
Gu Ren stared blankly at Ji Mianzhu who was unconsciously showing a soft side when he was drunk, and felt as if something was about to stir in his heart, which made him unconsciously go forward and want to touch him.
However, just as he was about to touch it, Gu Ren's wrist was clamped violently.
Can't move.
Gu Ren instantly regained his senses, and turned his head to meet Jiang Lian's dark gaze.
