At more than six o'clock the next night, a number of private cars were parked downstairs of Shengtian hotel. The driver opened the rear door and Song Xi, wearing MiuMiu light green diamond strapped dress, stepped out from inside. Although he had fur on his upper body and on his outer body, he was like an ice cellar in the weather of 20 degrees below zero.
Song Xi stepped up the steps, and behind him came a female voice: "Song Xi?"
Looking back, two young women came up side by side, one with bare arms and the other with bare thighs. They were all familiar faces, and their elders worked in the municipal government.
Song Xi greets them, and the three of them walk into the lobby and take the elevator to the top floor. One of them can't wait to inquire about Song Xi's current situation. Song Xi smiles and says, "I'm ok."
"Where do you live now? If it's close, we'll come out and have tea with you. "
Song Xi face unchanged back: "I live with my boyfriend."
Next to the two people are very surprised, one after another asked: "you have a boyfriend?"? Who? Are we local people? "
Song Xi evaded the heavy and gave light answer: "local people, not in the circle, you don't know."
"For what? You tell me your name. Maybe we know each other. "
Song Xi smiles: "ordinary businessmen."
She just doesn't say that the other person's eyes inevitably have disdain after looking at her. It's reasonable to say that if she has a good boyfriend, who will hide it? Song Xi is an ordinary person. I'm afraid it's not so ordinary that no one knows his name.
Song Xi naturally knows what they are thinking. Fortunately, she has been used to seeing them all this year. She is more blatant than them. If it is not too much, she usually pretends not to see them.
The elevator opens on the top floor. Today's party directly covers the largest banquet hall of the hotel. There is a special person in front of the hall to verify the identity of the people present. After Song Xi signs in, he walks in and quickly attracts people's attention.
When Song Xi attended the party last year, song Yuanqing was still in trouble. Everyone was flattering her with a smile. Although it has been a year since Song Yuanqing was jailed this year, Song Xi's appearance inevitably caused a stir in the crowd.
There are many people who come down to the well to say hello and chat with her. Among them are the children of song Yuanqing's friends. When song Yuanqing had an accident, most of their parents adhered to the principle of being wise and protecting themselves. That was the first time Song Xi personally tasted the taste of flying separately in the face of great disaster.
Song Xi is not happy with his parents, but the officialdom is unpredictable. People hold different positions, so they can disagree and understand. What's more, their children don't feel sorry for Song Xi at all, so Song Xi doesn't respond with anger.
This group of people tacitly avoid the song Yuanqing thing, just as did not happen, we haven't seen for a long time, talk about the past.
However, there will always be friends who don't open their eyes. Song Xizheng has a good chat with others. Behind him, he clangs a sentence: "Song Xi, is it really you?"
Including Song Xi, when people around him heard about the reputation, they saw the leader in a long yellow dress, with chocolate curly hair and a Champagne Cup in his hand. Song Xi shook it for two seconds before he recognized it as Jiang Jiayi, whom he had not seen for a long time.
The gathering in this circle is not limited to the children of night city officials. As long as they have the ability or the opportunity to come, they can come in. It's also a small "summit.".
Behind Jiang Jiayi are the children of several Haicheng administrators. When they meet, they nod and smile to each other, no matter they are sincere or sincere.
Song Xi looked at Jiang Jiayi, silent, Jiang Jiayi came to her, said with a smile: "I thought you would not come this year."
Song Xi, with a polite but obviously lukewarm smile on his face, said aloud, "come and see your friends."
Jiang Jiayi asked in public: "how is uncle song?"
Song Xi thought that when she was at Qiao's home, Jiang Jiayi always angered her with song Yuanqing. Her old debts were not clear, and now she has new enemies. Song Xi secretly resented herself, opened her red lips, and said quietly, "I'm better than before."
Jiang Jiayi said: "that's good. I'm also afraid that uncle song will be upset if something like this happens."
The people around are obviously embarrassed with different faces, but they can't go away, they can only stand in the same place.
Song Xi replied with a smile: "my father is in a good mood to read books and drink tea now. He always advises me not to be angry with those who are driven down by the wind. After all, such people love to get into trouble."
None of the people present were fools. Song Xi's words were equivalent to hurting Jiang Jiayi face to face. Jiang Jiayi's face changed on the spot, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger and stronger.
Fortunately, there was a commotion at the door. When everyone looked up, Song Xi also took a look. He was a young man in a gray windbreaker with a ginger white sweater. He was not in his twenties or early thirties. He was about 1.8 meters tall. He was not amazing. He was also a strange face. The people who could appear here must not be ordinary people.
Sure enough, someone nearby lowered his voice and said, "Sheng Chenzhou, Secretary of the Secretary for Industry and commerce, who has just been in office for two months."
Someone asked, "what's your surname? Does it have anything to do with Mayor Sheng“
"It's mayor Sheng's nephew."
Since ancient times, there has been a son of heaven and a courtier. Now the night city has a new mayor, and everything is based on Sheng Zhengrong. This is the first time that the Sheng family has sent people to attend such an occasion. It can be seen that Sheng Chenzhou is the "imperial envoy". No matter the second generation of officials or the third generation of officials in the night city or other places, there is no reason why they can't go forward to say hello.
Even Jiang Jiayi put down her grudge with Song Xi for the time being and went forward to show her face.
I'm afraid that Song Xi is the only one who hasn't gone to say hello to Sheng Chenzhou. Song Xi's pride doesn't allow her to bow to the Sheng family. If song Yuanqing doesn't have an accident, he can be sure that he is the new mayor. Now he wants her to say hello to Sheng Zhengrong's nephew. Even if she doesn't think much, other people will stab her back, They belittle song Yuanqing.
The purpose of her coming here today is, first, to prove that she is living well and to stop those who gloat; Secondly, Georges Sheng will never be able to break off her contacts with the officials of the night city. Since she has such conditions, why not?
But the Sheng family, forget it.
Song Xi stood alone at the dining table, as if isolated from the hustle and bustle. Those things that once belonged to her, now belong to others, her heart is not without loss, but more is the feeling after seeing through. Are those people holding Sheng Chenzhou? no
Is it Sheng Zhengrong? Not really.
It's rights.
Whoever is in power should be praised by the people around him. This is particularly philistine and hypocritical in the eyes of the common people, especially in this circle.
Song Xiqing was lucky that he was born in this circle, but he did not regard this circle as the whole of his life. Otherwise, not everyone could bear the taste of falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
