There were quite a lot of people at this party, both men and women. What shocked Tan Yuan even more was that it was a self-service party, and there were even quite a few pastries.

In today's China, resources are scarce, and Western pastries are really rare for ordinary people. Many people have never seen them in their entire lives.

However, at the party hosted by Jiang Qingxian, you can eat as much of these things as you want.

Tan Yuan walked in holding Zhang Xingguo's arm.

Feeling the touch on his arm, Zhang Xingguo raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't eat too much later. It will be difficult to digest at night."

There seemed to be some other meaning in his words. Tan Yuan raised her head and said, "Of course, I know my limits."

The Zhang family has always been in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Zhang Xingguo, a member of the Zhang family, has never appeared in front of people in Beijing before. However, during this period, he has been acting out of character. Zhang Xingguo, who usually stays in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has rarely appeared in Beijing and started to move around frequently.

The news that the Zhang and Jiang families had intended to marry each other was not a big secret. Many people knew about it, but it was later dropped.

The Jiang family is currently in its heyday, and Jiang Zhenhua is in the limelight. Even his superiors are concerned about him and are demoting those who oppose him.

What does this mean? It means Jiang Zhenhua is likely to take that position.

If Jiang Zhenhua gets promoted, the status of the families who marry into his family will naturally rise as well.

The Zhang family has been operating in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas for many years. They have soldiers and strong weapons. If these two families can marry, it will be really great...

The words "adding wings to a tiger" appeared in everyone's mind.

The two protagonists of this blind date party are probably Zhang Xingguo and Jiang Qingxian.

But Zhang Xingguo was too ignorant of the current situation. He even brought a woman with him, and the two of them were holding hands. If you didn't know, you would think they were a couple.

This is not Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although most people here know Zhang Xingguo, they are not familiar with him. However, Jiang Qingxian is different. She is an acquaintance, the daughter of a popular figure, and the heroine of today's banquet. Naturally, everyone will stand on his side.

Especially the young men who already admired Jiang Qingxian, when they saw this scene, they all laughed in their hearts. Is this Zhang family member stupid or what? Why doesn't he know the occasion well and bring a woman here?

The marriage between the two families would most likely fall through. Someone couldn't help but come up to Zhang Xingguo and sneered, "Why did you bring her here? Is she your partner?"

Tan Yuan stretched her neck and looked up to see Zhang Xingguo's reaction. Zhang Xingguo glanced at the man, nodded and shook his head at him: "I really like her, but she thinks I'm too old and doesn't want to be my partner."

His expression was helpless, and even contained a hint of expectation. Even Tan Yuan, who knew the inside story, couldn't help but feel a moment of panic when she saw it, as she felt that what he said was what was really in his heart.

Unfortunately, she is the person involved. If she says Zhang Xingguo really likes her, then what is the difference between that and seeing a sow climbing a tree with your own eyes?

But since I'm acting for a salary paid by someone else, and I'm his employee, I naturally have to cooperate with his performance.

Tan Yuan made a haughty expression, and it seemed that she really disliked Zhang Xingguo, but was reluctant to leave such a powerful man. This made the man believe that what he said was true.

The two performed in perfect harmony, and the man found it more and more believable the more he watched. He just thought that Zhang Xingguo might have something wrong with his brain.

This woman in front of me, in terms of appearance, temperament, and family background, is in no way comparable to Jiang Qingxian.

He must be blind, but it's a good thing that he is blind, because only people like him have a chance to win the beauty.

Thinking of this, he felt secretly happy. He sincerely wished Zhang Xingguo: "That's right, it's a different era now, you can have a free love relationship. It's great for you guys. I wish your dream will come true soon and you'll get your beautiful girl."

After saying this, he quickly said goodbye, fearing that if he left any later, he would not be able to help laughing out loud. What if his laughter made Zhang Xingguo, whose mind was already confused, wake up?

He ran quickly, squeezed into the crowd, and came to the side of Jiang Qingxian, who was like a queen, surrounded by stars. He whispered something to Jiang Qingxian, and then Jiang Qingxian's smiling face became serious. She looked towards the direction where Tan Yuan and Zhang Xingguo were standing.

Her expression was listless, but her eyes were cold, which made her look even more charming and fascinating.

Even Tan Yuan, who had no feelings for her, had to sigh that she was such a rare beauty.

Such a beauty...what a pity.

As she thought this, her eyes met Jiang Qingxian's, and for a moment, she actually felt a hint of hostility.

But it was just a moment, and Jiang Qingxian immediately looked away, and continued to chat and laugh with the people around her as if nothing had happened. When she talked about something interesting, she chuckled, very charming.

If she hadn't actually felt this hint of hostility, Tan Yuan might have thought it was an illusion.

No matter what the future holds, Jiang Qingxian is definitely not someone she can afford to offend. She quickly averted her gaze and whispered to Zhang Xingguo, "Boss, I think I've performed very well. If possible, I hope you can consider giving me a raise."

Perhaps because her expression was too serious, Zhang Xingguo seriously considered her proposal and then rejected it: "Well, that's good, but there's no need to mention it again."

He raised his head and gestured towards Tan Yuan: "Look here, there are so many delicious foods. I remember that you seem to like eating delicious food. In that case, you can enjoy it to your heart's content. Just consider it as a salary increase for you."

Tan Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you even need to tell me that? Well, in that case, I'll be leaving first. Don't forget to call me when you leave."

Zhang Xingguo has something to do. As a smart and sensible subordinate, he should disappear from his sight immediately.

Tan Yuan disappeared in a flash, leaving Zhang Xingguo alone, shaking his head and laughing. Comrade Tan Yuan was quite interesting.

“Mmm… so delicious!”

It is really delicious, even more delicious than the pastries she ate in later life. I just don’t know which chef made it. If I have the chance and have money in the future, I really want to dig it up!

Tan Yuan thought angrily, and sighed in her heart that power is indeed a good thing.

"Comrade Lin Yuan, is that you?"
