Chapter 19 Wedding Banquet
The next day, at the wedding banquet where Ren Zhaoyuan and Tongzhou Zhao Chen went together, the Kang family had well-informed information. don't know where they heard that Zhao Chen had come back early, so they made a temporary invitation and sent it to Zhao Chen.
"Zhaoyuan," Kang You stepped forward with a smile and patted Ren Zhaoyuan's arm, "I asked the driver to pick you up early in the morning, why did you come by yourself?"
Ren Zhaoyuan turned to his side and let Tong Zhou, who was born behind him, say, "Mr. Kang, congratulations. I came from Tongzhou and I'm not at home."
"No wonder," Kang You smiled, then shook hands with Tongzhou Zhao Chen next to him one by one, "Mr. Tong, Mr. Zhao, the reception is not good, please come in."
Ren Zhaoyuan and the others went out for a while, and heard Kang You greeting from a distance: "Mr. Zhao, President Tan, it's such a coincidence that we're here together, please come inside."
Zhao Chen was used to being called "Mr. Zhao" and was more sensitive to this title than others. The next second he looked back and saw Zhao Yuanqing, who had recently topped the list of objects he hated, his face turned black.
Friction on occasions like this is rude, no matter how big or small. After Ren Zhaoyuan turned around, he only nodded to Tan Zheng from a distance, and then went forward with Tong Zhou and Zhao Chen.
Most of the people who showed up today were accompanied by men and women.
Xing Yi was reluctant to participate in such activities, and Tong Zhou had been attending by himself since his marriage. Zhao Chen never lacked a company, but he was too lazy to find him recently. Ren Zhaoyuan and the three of them were fine walking together. At first glance, they were all single. When they arrived at the registration desk in the welcome area, the staff gave them three white wristbands.
But when Zhao Yuanqing and Tan Zheng walked together, there was a strange embarrassment. Those who knew them knew that they had been fighting badly recently, but those who didn't know - there was a little girl who helped and mistakenly thought that they were a couple who came together. chose two of the same color wristbands for partner.
"Runrun, don't make a fool of yourself." Kang You happened to come over, and when he saw this scene, he stepped forward to stop it and let the child take away, "I'm sorry, my daughter is too young and ignorant. Don't blame Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tan."
Zhao Yuanqing and Tan Zheng said in unison that they were all right, and then stopped at the same time. Kang You smiled and gave them two wrist flowers in person: "President Zhao, President Tan, please come in."
Going further inside, a dedicated service staff led him to take off his coat and tie his wristbands. Zhao Yuanqing watched Tan Zheng specifically instructing him to be careful with the scarf that he was very familiar with, and his face changed again and again: "It's just a scarf, but President Tan values ββit. ."
"The value of something is not about the size, it all depends on how much you like it."
"Really," Zhao Yuanqing adjusted his expression and smiled and nodded to passers-by, "If you really like it, I'm afraid it's too late to hide it."
Tan Zheng took the champagne brought by the waiter and said, "I was told by Mr. Zhao. I really want to hide it, but it's just that Brother Zhaoyuan's things are up to him, so it's not easy to force it."
"Since it's borrowed, you should return it as soon as possible and use it all the time. Can't Mr. Tan be short of this scarf?"
Tan Zheng smiled and said, "This is really the only thing missing."
"Yo! Mr. Zhao!" Jin Shiyan stepped forward and shook hands with Zhao Yuanqing, "It's a pleasure to meet, I heard that Mr. Zhao has another celebrity, why didn't he bring a bright appearance?"
Some time ago, the evidence of prostitution, gambling, and poisoning of several celebrities in Zhao Yuanqing's company who were touted to be popular with all their strength was caught off guard.
They were all piled up by the company with money, and there were hundreds of millions of contracts hanging on them. All of them were wiped out in a flash, and the follow-up income was reduced to zero, not to mention a lot of liquidated damages to be paid.
The public relations have not stabilized the situation yet, the top executives and their artists continue to emerge in an endless stream, and the exposure of true and false trails has intensified, and the company's stock price has fallen to a record low all the way.
Although Tan Zheng didn't lose a lot, he actually accepted the sap he gave to Zhao Yuanqing.
Jin Shiyan angered Zhao Yuanqing away in a few sentences, then turned his head and said to Tan Zheng, "What did you talk to him about? I saw his face and was afraid that the two of you would fight on the spot."
".." Tan Zheng clinks glasses with him expressionlessly, "It's not as good as what you just said."
"Tsk, over the top."
Tan Zheng looked at him alone and asked him, "How did you come here by yourself?"
"No, we came together. She and her girlfriends went to see the stone."
"Stone?"
Jin Shiyan smiled with an unfathomable look on his face: "I just heard that the Kang family is going to sponsor the international spring auction next year. In addition to financial support, they will also provide some treasured jewelry. Today, I took the opportunity to announce a few items to be displayed."
There are many people who invest in jewelry, but not many people really spend money and energy in the jewelry industry.
I have never heard of the intersection between the Kang family and the jewelry industry. Now the Kang family is the head of the family. Kang You knows the inside story. It is almost obvious why Kang You is here.
There was still some time before the wedding banquet, Jin Shiyan was going to find his daughter-in-law, and he took Tan Zheng to take a look at the jewelry on display.
In Jin Shiyan's words, it's not as good as someone with wealth and wealth, but also has a number of ways to deal with rivals in love.
Each of the nine transparent glass cabinets displayed a dazzling piece of jewelry, and Jin Shiyan saw his daughter-in-law couldn't move in front of one of the cabinets at a glance.
These jewels are for display only and will be sent to the spring auction venue for on-site auction. Jin Shiyan immediately grabbed Tan Zheng who was about to leave: "Give you a chance to meet the male god."
Tan Zheng didn't need to think about it to know that there was nothing good.
"You just said I'll ask you to ask him for help, and see if there is a back door to go and set the yellow diamond in advance."
"Well, ask him to ask Kang You for help."
Jin Shiyan didn't know much about jewelry, but he knew how deep the auction was.
Besides, no matter how arrogant Kang You is, he can't be stupid enough to release the rare gems that are gone. If it is not scarce enough, it means that the appreciation space is limited. Even if everyone shoots according to the rules of the process, he will spend hundreds of thousands more shots. Stone?
Why don't you buy an extra bag for your daughter-in-law?
One trick doesn't work, Jin Shiyan can only change the routine, and click on the mobile phone photo album to show Tan Zheng his new car: "It's not officially listed, I'll give it to you."
Tan Zheng glanced at the screen: "No, the color is too ugly."
"This color is still ugly? Upgraded volcanic ash! What about your aesthetics?"
Tan Zheng didn't continue to talk to him, he raised his chin slightly and pointed in the direction of the gemstone, and said, "I have a sapphire like this, and I'll choose a high-clarity one for you tomorrow."
Jin Shiyan has a stupid expression on your face: "Is that yellow?"
Tan Zheng didn't even bother to give him his eyes when he heard this: "The other colors in the corundum are sapphire except for the red treasure, you..."
The words were half silent, and Jin Shiyan turned his head curiously, only to see Tan Zheng's eyes glued to Ren Zhaoyuan, who came over at an unknown time, and his soul flew away.
Gee.
"According to professional standards, are these okay?" Kang You stood next to Ren Zhaoyuan and said, "If you like it, take it away."
Ren Zhaoyuan looked at them one by one: "It's all very good, the organizer of the spring auction must be very grateful to Mr. Kang."
Kang You was accustomed to Ren Zhaoyuan's softness and hardness, and was accustomed to being rejected, so he talked about a dragon stone jadeite he got from a friend: "It is said that most of the batch that was mined at that time was destroyed due to the war, and only three were left. A flawless piece, but that's all he's ever seen."
"Is it from the spring shoot the year before last?"
"Yes," Kang You smiled and leaned closer to him when he saw that he was interested, "were you there at the time?"
Ren Zhaoyuan smiled and waved to the waiter next to him, then turned to change a glass of champagne: "Yes, I took another shot."
"Isn't it photographed? If you like it, I will ask someone to take it out and send it to the Design Garden."
"I got a piece a few years ago, and I already have it, so I didn't compete with others."
Kang You smiled, just as the sound of the host reminding the wedding was about to start came from the audio, so the gentleman raised his hand and signaled: "The wedding is about to start, let's go, go to the banquet hall."
When Ren Zhaoyuan put the wine glass on the tray in the waiter's hand, he raised his head and met Tan Zheng's line of sight, and Tan Zheng called out to him for some reason, "Mr. Ren."
Ren Zhaoyuan then said to Kang You, "Mr. Kang is one step ahead, and I'll be there later."
The two walked out with the flow of people. Tan Zheng didn't know how to explain the reason why he suddenly called out to him. Fortunately, Ren Zhaoyuan didn't ask this.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, are you here to celebrate the New Year?"
Tan Zheng said, "Go back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year and fly to City A this afternoon."
"There's not enough time."
"Go directly to the airport after the wedding banquet, it's too late."
"Well," Ren Zhaoyuan only said, "There is a viewing balcony in the south, and there are people around here. When the ceremony is over, go there and see?"
Tan Zheng first instinctively moved, and then guessed that Ren Zhaoyuan might be looking for him because of Zhao Yuanqing.
"Okay, check it out later."
After arriving at the banquet hall, someone led them to their respective seats to be seated by name. Kang You directly arranged his seat to the right of Ren Zhaoyuan, Zhao Chen and Tong Zhou to the left of Ren Zhaoyuan, and a familiar partner to the left of Tong Zhou.
Tan Zheng was in a row diagonally behind Ren Zhaoyuan, and there was no chance to talk.
"Dad!" A little girl ran over to look at Ren Zhaoyuan, and whispered something in Kang You's ear. Kang You laughed heartily, patted her "little clever ghost" on her head, and gave Ren Zhaoyuan a hand. introduce.
"Zhaoyuan, this is the little girl Kang Qirun." He said to the little girl, "Runrun, call someone."
The little girl wore a princess dress adorned with crystals, and her whole body was as delicate as a doll: "Hello, uncle."
Ren Zhaoyuan smiled and leaned forward slightly: "Hello."
"Uncle," the little girl said with a shy look, "you look so pretty."
"Thank you, you are prettier, and your dress is especially beautiful."
The little girl laughed even more happily, and stepped forward to take Ren Zhaoyuan's hand: "Can uncle come to my house to play with me? I have a lot of dolls and gems."
When Ren Zhaoyuan faced children, it was not the same as usual, as if the cold distance inside was softened by the gentleness revealed: "Uncle still has to work and can't go."
"Dad," the little girl took Kang You with the other hand, "can't you?"
Kang You looked at the other hand she was holding Ren Zhaoyuan, and smiled to make her obey: "I'll see you when my uncle has time, darling, it's time to start, go to Grandpa."
"Okay.. this is for you, goodbye uncle!"
Ren Zhaoyuan looked at the expensive Hibiscus brooch that was suddenly stuffed into his hand, and had to hand it to Kang You: "Please give it back to Mr. Kang."
"She only gave it to you because she likes it. If you don't want her, she will be sad. If you feel bad, why not design an accessory for her? Runrun's birthday will be in a month, and she will definitely like it."
"Okay, I'll have someone deliver it in advance."
Even rejecting the birthday party, Kang You raised his hand to straighten his tie and whispered, "Zhaoyuan, at this age, I thought you should be like me and want to have a complete family."
"People who have been betrayed are not trustworthy, and those who are young and vigorous but don't know how to be smooth are not suitable for you," Kang You took this opportunity to speak bluntly for the first time, "If you dare not accept it because of your last failed marriage, then You can rest assured. I have no feelings for my ex-wife in a commercial marriage and have never done anything against morality, let alone you."
"Zhaoyuan, a loyal marriage, a mature partner, I can give you anything you want."
Ren Zhaoyuan smiled: "I want a controlling stake in the Kang Group, can Mr. Kang give it to me?"
Kang You didn't expect him to say this: "You're not someone who values these things, why would you deliberately use the unachievable as an excuse to reject me?"
"I am." The newcomers on the stage slowly walked towards each other in the sound of affectionate music, Ren Zhaoyuan lowered his eyes, and the exit was still refusal, but he no longer supported and alienated like before.
Sincerity has always moved Ren Zhaoyuan the most, no matter how many points the other party gives.
"I am a layman with excess ideals. I am greedy and don't know how to restrain myself. Whether it is unrealistic love or something conventional in reality, I want it, and it must be 100% of everything."
Kang You was silent for a moment: "It's surprising that you still have such thoughts. People who put their feelings first are not mature and realistic, people who are mature and realistic are bound to be accustomed to weighing, there is no real perfect partner, Zhaoyuan, no one can do it.arrive."
Ren Zhaoyuan curved the corners of his lips: "Then I can not."
"Mr. Kang, thanks to the wrong love, I'm not your right, and you're not mine."
