Newlywed and old love, the president's secret bride

Chapter 213 The woman surnamed Duan has fallen out of favor!Binjiang Hotel is very busy today. The eighth anniversary of the group celebration is not big or small, but since Chuanshi and Aix Group have clearly confronted each other, everyone knows the pillars behind Chuanshi who support the scene It was the only son of the merchant, the young master of the Shao family and the third son of the Fu family.

The merchants have a wide network of contacts, the Shao family has strong funds, and the Fu family even owns half of the entertainment industry.These three men not only covered the sky with one hand in Yucheng, but even if they were taken to the whole province, they would be enough to make people shy away.

But today...

The hotel manager glanced around the banquet hall several times with suspicious eyes, holding a high-quality red wine in his arms, and didn't know where to go for a while.

None of the three Buddhas came?

After thinking about it, she turned around and asked the waiter at the side: "Mr. Fu, Mr. Shang and Mr. Shao are not here, who is in charge of this matter today?"

The waiter trotted into the crowd to inquire, but was called by a middle-aged man with a suit and leather shoes and slightly bald hair to give some instructions, and came back in a hurry after a while, "Manager, the leadership team here today is only two handed down Director, and a lady surnamed Duan. I heard that she is the newly hired chief engineer of the group, and she has only been in office for two months. She is very young, but has a weird temper."

The manager gave him a sideways look, with a half-smile, "You've managed to find out so many things in such a short period of time...Your boy is very capable."

The waiter showed a flattering smile, "Don't dare, the manager taught me well."

"Who was it that called you over just now?"

"It's one of the two directors, surnamed Xu."

When the manager heard this, he immediately became serious, "What did he ask you to do?"

"It's like this, manager." The waiter said, "That worker Duan is aloof and arrogant in the company on weekdays, and doesn't deal with employees very much, and she treats her subordinates extremely harshly, and her subordinates have long complained. According to the director According to the bureau's observations, she has not made any special achievements in the two months since she took office. I don't know what supernatural ability she has to be able to sit on the high position of chief engineer. In addition, Mr. Fu gave her too much preferential treatment. For example, her salary has never been made public, and she has one more day off every week than others... Things like this have caused employees to discuss in private. The two directors are a little unhappy..."

The manager is also a sensible person. He quickly came up with an idea, but he didn't say anything on the surface. He smiled lightly and said, "What does the family ugliness of the Handed down Group have to do with us? Is it possible that I can still clean up the house for them? Do I have that ability?" ?”

"It's not enough to clean up the house. After all, Mr. Duan was sent by Mr. Fu himself. Director Xu said that it would be great if you could go to toast her and give her a little mention."

Tips?The manager sneered, thinking about it.

He clearly wanted her to get that Chief Engineer Duan drunk and make her make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

As a hotel manager, toasting distinguished guests is commonplace.Not to mention women, not even men can withstand her drinking.

Director Xu is really an old fox.

After weighing it, the manager said: "Go and get two glasses, and accompany me to toast Duan Gong."

*

Duan Zijin walked slowly through the crowd, the secretary followed her, occasionally fiddled with her phone with her head down.

It's not that she's doing two things at once, it's really boring to be with Duan Gong!

Duan Zijin is a woman who is vigorous and resolute at work, says what she says, and has a great view and control over the overall situation, but she is simply an idiot in capital letters and bold when it comes to dealing with interpersonal relationships and teamwork.

After two months in the company, apart from holding meetings and explaining work, she can count on ten fingers the things she has said to the employees under her.

This sense of distance made many employees feel both curious and in awe of her, especially after knowing the special treatment given to her by President Fu, curiosity gradually turned into criticism.

However, the attitudes of many senior leaders of the company towards her are very specious, making the people below extremely unpredictable.

These high-level officials all participated in the meeting a few months ago.

At that time, this woman surnamed Duan broke into the meeting room, and their boss not only did nothing to her, but even fired a director of the group!

Finally, when everyone looked at each other and couldn't find Bei, Mr. Fu confessed: I will walk around when I see Duan in the future.

Everyone will remember that this woman surnamed Duan cannot be messed with.

But now Mr. Jiang hasn't even shown a face for two months, and this woman is inexplicably pregnant, and many rumors spread in the company like wings...

Everyone was waiting to see her laugh.

Duan Zijin found a corner out of the way, sat on the sofa, and suddenly regretted coming to such an occasion.

It's better to stay with Mi Lan in the south of the city.

Just as he was thinking, a person in a lady's suit slowly walked up on the stage where a show was being performed not far away.

Duan Zijin looked over, and she recognized that it was the lobby manager of the hotel. After taking the stage, he took the host's microphone, and with a polite smile on his face, he said that it was to celebrate the group's birthday, and he wanted to toast the leaders. Then the light in the hall dimmed.

Duan Zijin was sitting on the sofa, wondering in her heart, when suddenly a beam of extremely strong light hit her face.

She subconsciously squinted her eyes, raised her hand to block it, and the muffled voices of the crowd buzzed into her ears.

Toast to the leader?Under the bright white light in front of him, Duan Zijin suddenly understood what the manager said.

It turned out that the leader was referring to her!Duan Zijin frowned uncomfortably, and was about to refuse, but the discussions around him became louder and louder.

The little secretary came over at some point, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Duan, Mr. Xu asked me to tell you. Please show me some face on this occasion."

Duan Zijin sighed, stood up resignedly, and walked to the stage.

The lights on the stage were so bright that she could barely see the faces of the people below the stage.

But I also want to know what expression they are using to look at her.

Following the dim shelter, this look became even more unscrupulous.Poke on Duan Zijin's body, to be honest, it's not very comfortable.

But she didn't bother to worry about it too much, and after a few polite words with the manager, she reached for the red wine on the tray held by the waiter.

It stands to reason that pregnant women should not drink alcohol, but red wine relaxes tendons and activates blood circulation, as long as you don't drink too much, it doesn't matter if you drink a little.

Unexpectedly, the manager held down her hand, "Hey, Duan Gong! You should match a beautiful woman with good wine, not to mention you are a prominent person, how can you drink any wine? I'll ask someone to open a bottle of good wine for you. Hold on!"

Duan Zijin's soft brows and eyes were slightly condensed, and her aura of calmness and prestige disappeared from her calm line of sight, "Don't bother, manager."

"How can I do that?" The manager, who had also seen the big scene, was stunned for a moment, and soon returned to normal, "Bring out that bottle of Napoleon."

Napoleon.Duan Zijin's heart sank slightly, it was brandy two grades lower than Louis XIII.

Remembering the last time she accidentally drank half a glass of Louis XIII in day.off, Duan Zijin frowned subconsciously.

This kind of wine no longer has the effect of relaxing muscles and activating blood, and if you drink one cup, you will lose half your life if you don't die.What's more, she is pregnant with a child now, if she is really going to die, she will be "one dead body and two lives"...

Duan Zijin never dared to make fun of the child in his stomach, and with a serious face, he wanted to refuse.

But the manager seemed to have guessed that she would refuse a long time ago, so he didn't give her any room to back down. With a smile on his lips, he asked with a stick: "Duan Gong, do you look down on our wine, or look down on toasting you?" people?"

Duan Zijin lowered his eyes and politely declined: "Manager, I'm not feeling well today, I'm sorry for spoiling everyone's interest."

"Not feeling well today?" On the side of the stage, a man with a big belly and a little bald head came up, the sarcasm in his smile was fully exposed under the spotlight.

When Duan Zijin saw him, his black eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, although his expression didn't change, but his gaze sank, "Hello, Director Xu."

"Does Duan Gong know what day it is today?" Xu Dong ignored her greeting, his gloomy and cunning eyes flicked back and forth on her cold face, "Duan Gong is usually a noble person, and the group's eighth anniversary celebration is so important Days, Duan Gong doesn't even give him a face... Is it appropriate?"

His voice sounded sticky like glue, and Duan Zijin felt sick for some reason.

Xu Dong stretched out his hand, took the two glasses of wine from the manager's hand, held one for himself, and handed the other to Duan Zijin, "Since I don't like the manager toasting you, then I will personally toast you, isn't it enough?"

As soon as these words came out, her retreat was sealed off a bit.

Xu Dong said: "Mr. Duan is young and beautiful. He is the envy of many employees in our company? At your age, there are really not many people who can sit in this position. This glass of wine is my thanks to Mr. Duan for the time spent on behalf of the board of directors. Come to work hard for the company, and I wish Duan Gong a smooth career in the future, and reach new heights!"

His words were beautiful, and the smile on the sly old man's face was so decent that no one could fault it.

But gradually, this smile disappeared, Dong Xu's eyes became more and more chilly, and his tone became a bit displeased, "How long is Duan Gong going to let me, an old bone, hold the wine? "

His wine glass had already been handed to her, but Duan Zijin just watched it, without the slightest intention to take it.

"Duan Gong, I know you have a good relationship with Mr. Fu, but even if Mr. Fu came today, he wouldn't dare to turn down my drink!"

In the scorching heat of August, the air-conditioning in the banquet hall was fully turned on, and the cold air invaded from the skin and penetrated into the bottom of the heart.

Duan Zijin frowned with a cold face, "Xu Dong..."

She was cornered by his soft and hard words, but she heard the sound of the banquet hall door being pushed open.

At the same time, the bright and dazzling lights in the corridor flooded into the dim hall like a flood.

Duan Zijin paused his hand in the air, and looked sideways.

Someone walked steadily and came against the light.

His figure was tall and straight, countless golden rays of light projected from behind him, passed through his broad shoulders, straight and slender legs, and were all trampled under his feet.

In this way, the man's figure was sculpted into a beautiful and stunning silhouette.

Duan Zijin couldn't see his face clearly.

But she heard a loud noise like a burst in her heart.

A wound that had finally solidified and crusted suddenly burst open.

Blood flowed like a river, and the blood flowed to the corners of her heart that had long since died.Those lifeless things buried deep in the corner suddenly came alive.

Two months... How long is it?

For her, it is as long as a century.

Duan Zijin began to tremble uncontrollably, became at a loss, and began to vacillate between rushing to hug him, and turning his head away immediately.

The ears are blank, the eyes are blank, the whole world has faded away from sound and color, only the magnificent and indifferent shadow remains, and the passage of time every second is like a steel nail piercing into the blood. .

People in the audience couldn't see who was coming, but someone could clearly see Duan Zijin's froze expression.

Until all the lights in the venue were turned on, and the man's handsome and deep face was clearly presented in everyone's sight, everyone took a breath at the same time.

I don't know who shouted first: "Boss Jiang!"

Immediately afterwards, the voice calling for him resounded through the entire banquet hall with overwhelming momentum, and it lasted for a long time.

Jiang Lin didn't give any reaction, as if he was just passing by, his black eyes swept across the audience, but there was nothing but indifferent silence.

Also, when seeing the people on stage.

Duan Zijin felt very clearly that for a moment his eyes swept over and met her, but he didn't stop for a moment, and then calmly moved away.

The gap in her heart was suddenly opened wider.

The man raised his hands slightly amidst the applause and cheers, and those people quieted down obediently as if they had been cast by a spell at the same time.

Under the gaze of everyone, he spoke in a low voice and indifferent tone: "It's been hard work for everyone during this time, and the eighth anniversary celebration of the group must have a good time."

With that said, the waiters in the hotel brought bottles of expensive wine, and the atmosphere in the crowd was ignited again.

Duan Zijin felt that his feet were nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move even a little bit.

She missed him so much that on that face, the eyebrows like distant mountains, the deep black eyes, the sexy sharp nose bridge and the thin lips, before she turned on the light, she cast her eyes on his face one by one Outlined.And when the lights were turned on, his facial features really corresponded to her imagination one by one, exactly.

But soon, another woman walked in from outside the door, walked straight to Jiang Lin's side, and asked him with a slightly complaining tone while smiling, "Why didn't you wait for me?"

She just went to the dressing room to tidy up her clothes and makeup, and the man arrived at the venue by himself.

He also said that he didn't want to come, but in fact, he couldn't let go of the company he has led so far more than anyone else, right?

As soon as Mu Nianci finished speaking, she realized that everyone in the audience was looking at her.

All birds looked at her silently.

What's more, he glanced at the pale woman on the stage, then at the deep and speechless man beside her, and finally looked at her with some ambiguous eyes.

Mu Nianci immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right, and frowned, "There are... quite a lot of people here."

But Jiang Lin seemed to cut off the eyes of these troublemakers, looked at her with raised eyebrows, slightly bent his lips, and said with a low smile: "If you want to join in the fun, do you think there are too many people?"

A strange feeling flashed in Mu Nianci's heart, and it passed too fast, and there was no time to catch it.

In the eyes of everyone, she said with a sneer: "I'm sorry everyone, you don't care about us, you should eat and play!"

Everyone was startled at the same time.

This tone, it seems that he regards himself as the master.

After Mu Nianci said this, she also felt that it was inappropriate, but the man beside her didn't say anything. When everyone looked at him inquiringly, he nodded lightly and said, "Keep playing with you."

It is equivalent to echoing her words invisibly.

Now everyone began to wonder about the identity of this woman.

Only Xu Dong smiled meaningfully.

Mr. Fu reused Duan Zijin, mostly because of Mr. Jiang's face, but the current situation is too obvious-this woman surnamed Duan has fallen out of favor!

"Duan Gong, drink?" His eyes almost narrowed, and the wine glass in his hand moved closer to Duan Zijin's side.

Duan Zijin retracted his gaze and closed his eyes.

When it opened again, the emotions in the brown pupils gradually settled down, and it was surprisingly calm.

She wants to know who that woman is more than anyone else.

For a second, she even wanted to take the wine handed by Xu Dong and drink it up.

This kind of thought was stopped by her, Duan Zijin said calmly: "I'm sorry, Xu Dong, I'm pregnant, so I can't drink."

Mu Nianci, who was buried in the audience looking for something to eat, suddenly frowned and glanced at the stage when he heard her words.

The man followed her closely, holding the goblet between his fingertips and shaking it gently.

He looked at Mu Nianci calmly and coldly, but what happened on the stage didn't seem to attract his attention at all.

Xu Dong is still half persuading and half threatening to let Duan Zijin drink, but his attitude is much tougher than before, as if if she doesn't drink, he will find someone to force drink.

And most of the people were watching the excitement, and no one wanted to go up to help.Probably...he didn't want to offend Dong Xu.

Mu Nianci glanced at the woman's slightly protruding belly under the loose coat, frowned, pushed away the crowd and walked to the front, "Mr. Xu, since you are the veteran of the group, how can you toast the younger generation? The group was established Eighth anniversary, you have worked so hard, this glass of wine should be a toast to you!"

Jiang Lin's long, narrow and black eyes sank slightly, slightly displeased, and he followed.

Duan Zijin was stunned by the sudden rescue from the audience, she didn't expect that someone would dare to speak for her at the risk of offending Mr. Xu.

But when she turned her head to see the woman's face clearly, she immediately understood.

It was the woman brought by Jiang Lin, how could she be afraid of offending Dong Xu?

But at this moment, Jiang Lin stood quietly behind her, with a protective gesture, his handsome eyebrows were deep.

Duan Zijin's heart seemed to be bitten by a poisonous insect suddenly.

Xu Dong glanced at Mu Nianci, and said with a fake smile: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, I am already old, Duan Gong is young and promising, there is nothing wrong with respecting her."

Mu Nianci thought for a while, but then said: "In terms of young and promising, who can compare to our Professor Jiang and Mr. Jiang? According to this, this glass of wine should actually be respected to Mr. Jiang, right?"

As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar.

Is this pulling Boss Jiang to block the wine for Duan Gong?

Jiang Lin's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and his dark eyes fell on Mu Nianci's back, revealing a hint of unfathomable depth.

Duan Zijin was also shocked, she didn't expect her to be so direct.

But something complicated suddenly appeared in her heart—this woman's actions undoubtedly pushed her into a dilemma.In this case, if Jiang Lin refuses to block the drink for her, Duan Zijin will feel uncomfortable; but if he does not refuse, and listens to other women to block the drink for her, she will feel even more uncomfortable.

Xu Dong said with a gloomy face: "Of course I will respect Mr. Jiang's wine, but Duan Gong's wine is also indispensable."

"Mr. Xu, are you old and foolish?" Mu Nianci said with a cold face, "Pregnant women are not allowed to drink, do you mean to hurt this lady and the baby in her stomach? What does the child do?"

Xu Dong's expression was ugly, "You little girl, you are endless, right? If you squirt blood, don't blame me for finding someone to throw you out!"

Mu Nianci turned pale.

The sound of the bottom of the glass hitting the table echoed in the air.

It was the man who had not expressed his opinion, suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand.

His tone was lazy and gentle, "Xu Dong, can you not see a living person standing behind her, or..."

As soon as the subject changed, the unobtrusive stern look in the man's eyes suddenly surfaced, "Who did you borrow the courage to teach me a lesson in front of my face?"
