Ring

The band played soothing tunes on the small stage on the east side.Some people dance on the dance floor while holding the hands of their partners; while others chat in groups of twos and threes.Wei Shenzhi's gaze has been focused on Edgar and Kondo Yumi.They didn't know what they were talking about, but the smile on Edgar's lips deepened, and Yumi Kondo also stretched out her hand and gestured to him.Then, the two got closer and closer, and the woman's chin was almost on the man's broad shoulders.

Seeing this, Selina directly grabbed Wei Shenzhi's arm, striding towards the handsome couple.Wei Shenzhi was speechless, only felt that Selina seemed to be dragging him to catch the rape.As a result, just as he was about to stop it, he heard the music stop, and the sound of a microphone test came from the stage on the east side.Everyone was attracted by this movement, stopped what they were doing, and looked to the east.

A man who looked like a host stepped onto the stage.He first complimented the invited people present and thanked everyone for their attendance, then changed the subject and invited the organizer of the dance party.You know, no one will be taken advantage of and willing to pay for a party similar to a ballroom dance every year.Of course, this kind of errand is a rotation of several large companies in Silicon Valley, and this year it happens to be the turn of sophos.

The lights dimmed.On the other end of the red carpet, a man and a woman walked up.The man in front looked past his destiny.He is wearing an elegant light brown suit, the silk fabric is soft and docile, without the seriousness and coldness of traditional suits.The pockets and cuffs are dotted with looming white prints, making his gray hair less serious and more kind.With an easy-going smile on his face, the man took the hand of the woman behind him and bowed to the people off the stage.

"It's the president of Sophos, Charles Gautier." Selina was invited to this dance for the first time, and she didn't know the heads of various commercial companies very well, so Wei Shenzhi explained to her.

President Gautier looked around the audience.Meeting Wei Shenzhi's gaze, he nodded and smiled at him in a friendly way, and Wei Shenzhi also nodded in greeting.After Gautier looked away nonchalantly, Wei Shenzhi suddenly felt a little strange-why did he feel that his eyes looked at him with some deep meaning?Is it because Silver Shield is squeezing sophos products in the market?

"It is a great honor for sophos to be the host of this year's gala. Thank you for your kind presence. You are all outstanding talents in the industry. It is a wonderful thing to gather every year."

His friendly opening remarks drew a round of applause.After the applause gradually subsided, he took the hand of the woman behind him and cleared his throat.

"Today, I would like to take this opportunity to announce one thing. The little girl was spoiled and spoiled, so she can't manage the family business and develop our company. Therefore, I want to find a reliable husband for her. He must swear to God that he will cherish and love her for the rest of his life. my daughter."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience.Occasionally, a few reporters who were allowed to enter naturally seized this opportunity to snap a lot of photos. Wei Shenzhi heard the people around him whispering.

"Wouldn't it be possible to earn more than half of Sophos by marrying Miss Gautier? If that's the case, that's a lot of money. President Gautier will lose money to marry a daughter?"

"The people present are all the elites in the IT industry. President Gautier probably wants to choose a son-in-law to help him take care of the family business."

"Since being suppressed by the wave, Sophos's performance has been falling again and again. It is different now. President Gautier probably wants to sell his daughter quickly and find a capable husband to turn the tide?"

"Miss Gautier is really pitiful... She is unable to inherit the family business, so she can only let her father arrange her own marriage..."

…………

Everyone in the audience reacted differently.President Gautier bowed to everyone again, and his loving eyes fell on his daughter.

Emile Gautier is wearing a classic white dress today, and the white gauze makes her slender arms more delicate.Her wrists and neck are adorned with valuable gold and silver jewelry, and her golden hair is also adorned with white lily ornaments. She looks like a fairy in the mountains, forests and waters in ancient Greek legends, weak, beautiful and pure.

Feeling that everyone's gaze followed President Gautier's gaze to her, Emile lowered her head even lower.

President Gautier gave a high five, and the assistant behind him came up to the stage, lowering his head and presenting a white envelope.Under the shining light, Gautier put the envelope in the palm of his daughter:

"Emile, your mother left me very early. And I, as your father, have not taken good care of you these years. In a few months, you will be 27 years old, already She's a big girl." At this point, he seemed to sigh a little, "I have nothing to give you. This is my name, 65% of the shares of Sophos, and now I officially hand it over to you."

"Father, I..." Emile raised his head, and a trace of pain flashed in Hailan's eyes.But facing her father's old face, she swallowed back the next words.Under everyone's envious eyes, he clenched that huge share of equity.The blond hair in front of her forehead fell to the tip of her eyebrows, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

There was silence in the audience, and even the flashing lights stopped. It seemed that even the reporters of the media did not expect that President Gautier would transfer the equity to his daughter on such an occasion.It wasn't until the father and daughter hugged each other that everyone came back to their senses, and the flash lights flashed as if they didn't want money, until the Gautier father and daughter stepped off the stage.

…………

Gautier and Emile separated immediately after stepping down.Not surprisingly, Emile was naturally surrounded by a group of men.But how many of these men who court her are people who love her, and how many of them love the huge wealth she can bring to themselves?

Wei Shenzhi looked in her direction and suddenly felt that this woman was a bit pitiful.If a lady in the upper class is unable to inherit the family business, the head of the family can only marry her off in exchange for the longevity of the family business.

The arm was pulled by Selina again.Wei Shenzhi looked in the direction of her finger, and suddenly couldn't calm down—President Gautier went straight to Edgar's side.Just after making the remarks about marrying a daughter, and immediately approaching an excellent man, it is most likely that Edgar was included in the list of son-in-law candidates!

Wei Shenzhi couldn't care less about his entangled mood now.He pushed Selina away, and walked over there in three steps and two steps.When President Gautier and Edgar had just spoken a few words, they interjected quietly.

"President Gautier, I have known you for a long time. I didn't expect to see you on this occasion? President Flanders told me just now that you never want to come to the party, which disappointed me for a long time." This was originally hosted by sophos, Gautier will naturally be there.That's what Wei Shen said at the beginning, while complimenting President Gautier, he immediately smeared Edgar's face.

Before Edgar said anything, Yumi Kondo smiled shamelessly.Then she touched the tip of her nose subtly, and teased Wei Shenzhi with a smile on her face.

Wei Shenzhi was puzzled, but on the surface he still had a gentle smile on his face.Edgar's eyes stayed on his lips, he smiled slightly, and gently licked his upper lip with the tip of his tongue, as if he was licking the other's lips.Then, his gaze moved to Wei Shenzhi's eyes, and his already aggressive movements were even more seductive because of his focused gaze.

Damn, he was obviously not like this before!Edgar, have you taken the wrong medicine recently?

"Manager Wei." Gautier's gray-blue eyes lingered on him for a while, then shook his head with a smile, "As expected of the child of Manager Gao and President Wei, the 'Silver Shield' product is really powerful, sophos lost You have to be convinced."

"You know my parents?"

"Yes. The senior manager teased me back then, saying that I was just a businessman, but her son was a software engineer. A software engineer can become a successful businessman, but it is difficult for a businessman to become a software engineer. So she also told me , I will lose to her son one day, and now I am convinced."

Wei Shenzhi suddenly realized: "So you are the 'Charles' she mentioned? My mother once advised me to do an internship in your company when I was in college, but I was just playing around and forgot her advice, so she also Never said it again."

"I haven't contacted you for many years. No wonder she seldom talks about me to you. How are your parents?"

"...Thanks for your concern, but my mother had a car accident a year ago..."

President Gautier obviously did not expect such a result.He closed his eyes and lowered his head, drew a sign of the cross on his chest, and sighed regretfully: "I'm sorry to hear the news. But at least, her soul has come to heaven, where she will be happy."

"It's okay." It's useless to immerse yourself in the sad past. What he has to do now is to make himself stronger, and then return to China, so that Wei Tianci can taste the bitter fruit he deserves.

Gautier sincerely expressed his regret for Gao Lang, and then said inadvertently: "...Gao Lang liked my daughter very much before his death, and even said that he would marry my daughter to her son."

Wei Shenzhi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that his mother had mentioned this matter to him.It's just that Wei Shenzhi refused to directly enter the observation period of "a couple for a lifetime" with a girl he had never met, so the matter was left alone.did not expect--

"Manager Wei, what do you think of Emile?"

"Miss Gautier is beautiful and pure, she is a rare good girl." Looking at the expectant eyes of President Gautier, Wei Shenzhi really didn't know what to say.If he still doesn't understand what this old entrepreneur wants to do, then his life is in vain.

"Then do you like my daughter?"

"Yes, I like this kind of girl very much. Now many women are impetuous and frivolous. I have always wanted to find a gentle and virtuous girl to spend my life with. And I think I am very lucky to find such a girlfriend." He was gentle He smiled and said, "Fortunately, God blessed me, and I found her. She is ordinary and not as beautiful as Miss Gautier, but I believe she is as virtuous as Miss Gautier."
