Chapter 1049 Kind Heart
"Qing Yao, who is this?"
As for her best friend, Zhang Qingsi naturally greeted her immediately. As soon as she approached, she pointed at Du Cheng and asked Li Qingyao softly.
She has a very good relationship with Li Qingyao. However, Li Qingyao never told her about Du Cheng. Of course, there is a reason for Du Cheng himself. Therefore, Zhang Qingsi only now knows that Li Qingyao already has a boyfriend. up.
And from the looks of it, the relationship between the two is obviously still very close.
However, Zhang Qingsi is not that kind of powerful woman, or in other words, her character is doomed that she will not be as powerful as ordinary women, although she doesn't understand why Li Qingyao and Du Cheng, who seem to have nothing outstanding However, regarding Li Qingyao's choice, she would not say anything, but would instead bless her.
"Qingsi, his name is A Cheng." Facing her friend, when Li Qingyao introduced Du Chenglai, her pretty face was still slightly flushed.
Li Qingyao didn't say Du Cheng's real name, nor did she introduce Du Cheng's identity in detail, but her demeanor at the moment is enough to prove everything, that kind of shyness can only be possessed by a little woman in love, such as Said that she, Li Qingyao, was like this now, and there was no need to pretend at all.
Seeing Li Qingyao like this, although Zhang Qingsi had never been in a relationship, he could feel some information.
An inconceivable look flashed across her beautiful eyes. Her Zhang Qingsi's gaze was high, but in her consciousness, it seemed that Li Qingyao's gaze was not going anywhere low.
But at this moment, in her eyes, Du Cheng didn't seem to have anything outstanding or outstanding except for his appearance.
Even if Du Cheng and Li Qingyao were walking together at this moment, it still gave people the feeling of a little boy.
This is the most incredible thing about Zhang Qingsi, but she won't show all of this. Since it was Li Qingyao's choice, she naturally chose to support it.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Qingsi, and Qingyao is my best friend."
Zhang Qingsi extended her hand towards Du Cheng very generously. Her smile was genuine, but behind the smile, there was a kind of indifference as if she wanted to reject people thousands of miles away. This indifference would not be because of Du Cheng. The relationship with Li Qingyao was slightly reduced, and it could even be said that unless Zhang Qingsi had a crush on the man, otherwise, her attitude towards any man would be like this.
"Hello."
Du Cheng smiled slightly, and shook Zhang Qingsi's hand politely. Although Zhang Qingsi's little hand was very soft, smooth and delicate, Du Cheng let go of it in less than half a second.
Such a small movement caused a slight change in Zhang Qingsi's eyes looking at Du Cheng.
However, she didn't show anything because of this, but pointed directly to the hall, which is where all these banquets were held, and said to Du Cheng and Li Qingyao: "Okay, the time is almost up, the banquet is still a few minutes away It's about to start, Qingyao, let's go in."
"Um."
Li Qingyao nodded lightly, but at this moment, she let go of Du Cheng's arm, and took Zhang Qingsi's arm and entered the banquet hall together.
Du Cheng followed behind, looking at the two women who were definitely the most outstanding and dazzling at the banquet tonight, Du Cheng just smiled. He didn't need to say much about Li Qingyao, and that Zhang Qingsi Du Cheng admired her very much, especially her character.
▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
In the hall, all the distinguished guests who came to the banquet tonight have almost arrived.
This time the banquet was a charity banquet, and it was private in nature. However, the identities of every guest present were somewhat different.
Because tonight's banquet will be auctioned, and most of the auction items are priced in ten thousand or one hundred thousand. Under such circumstances, the guests who can come to the banquet this time also get some limit.
Basically, every guest who came to participate was either rich or noble. This can be seen from the sports cars in the parking lot outside.
Among those sports cars and luxury cars, it is almost impossible to find a car with a price below one million. Ordinary Mercedes-Benz and BMW are only shameful here. Even Li Qingyao's Maserati, which is worth more than two million, is in Here are just ordinary goods. Among them, there are several Mercedes-Benz Maybachs and Bentley Mulsanne with more than 10 million yuan. One car is enough to buy several Maseratis of Li Qingyao.
This is something that cannot be helped. It is not because Zhang Qing thought that he wanted to hold this kind of luxurious banquet for the rich, but because the value of the auctioned items is not low, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
And the layout of this club is also very luxurious. After all, it is a high-end club, and the layout of the entire banquet can be described as magnificent.
At a glance, there are more than a hundred people gathered in the banquet, most of these people are the local dignitaries in Chang'an, even if they are not familiar with them, they are at least acquainted with each other. Therefore, this kind of occasion has become the place for these dignitaries and rich people. One of the places of communication, you only need to report your own background, and then you can get some information that is beneficial or beneficial to you from different people.
Of course, there are many rich wives and rich ladies. These rich wives and rich ladies also like this kind of occasion very much. They wear their favorite jewelry and show their most beautiful side, so that they can interact with each other. Comparing, getting everything they like between victory and loss.
As far as Du Cheng is concerned, all of this is far away from him. If it weren't for the nature of the banquet and Li Qingyao's relationship, he would definitely not have come to participate, because he himself generally has no interest in so-called banquets. , or not at all interested.
The appearance of Li Qingyao and Zhang Qingsi immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone present, like bright lights in the dark night.
The eyes of those dignitaries kept wandering between Li Qingyao and Zhang Qingsi, some were more reserved, while others were a little blatant.
However, no matter what these people think in their hearts, in reality, they dare not touch these two women.
Needless to say, Li Qingyao, because so far anyone who wants to bully the Li family or Li Qingyao has almost no good end, and Zhang Qingsi, she has a godfather who makes these people not move her, the mayor of Chang'an City Yu Xiong peak.
Yu Xiongfeng admired Zhang Qingsi's talent very much, he adopted Zhang Qingsi as his daughter three years ago, and took great care of him in every aspect, if anyone in the room wanted to touch Zhang Qingsi, he would probably be the first to do it , it was Yu Xiongfeng's pass.
And just like today's occasion, Yu Xiongfeng will probably come, so naturally no one will touch Zhang Qingsi without opening their eyes.
On the contrary, Du Cheng, who followed the two girls, was directly ignored. In front of the two pearls, Du Cheng's brilliance was extremely gloomy,
Du Cheng liked this feeling very much. For him, it would be best if no one paid attention to him.
So, after entering the banquet hall, Du Cheng directly found a sofa nearby and sat down. As for Li Qingyao, she was dragged away by Zhang Qingsi to talk.
Du Cheng naturally had no interest in joining it. After sitting down, he directly took a glass of red wine and started drinking, waiting for the start of this charity banquet.
The banquet was getting closer and closer to the start time. To Du Cheng's surprise, at the last moment of the banquet, the person in charge of Xinxin Charity Foundation Chang'an City also came.
It was a woman in her thirties, Du Cheng had some impressions, it seemed that her name was Guan Qiuyue, and it was said that she was the main figure of the entire provincial branch. She had been to F city several times, and Du Cheng had also met a few times, it was Gu Sixin A chapter member that is highly valued.
Although Guan Qiuyue is in her thirties and close to her forties, she is well maintained. She looks not much different from a 30-year-old young woman. She is dressed in professional women's suits, showing her strong woman temperament to the fullest.
The arrival of Guan Qiuyue quickly attracted Zhang Qingsi's attention. She immediately walked towards Guan Qiuyue and started talking enthusiastically. It seemed that the relationship was pretty good.
Li Qingyao was dragged by Zhang Qingsi, and she couldn't go against her friend's wishes, so she also passed by, but she gave Du Cheng a helpless look, but she knew that Du Cheng would definitely not mind, because Du Cheng didn't Not that kind of stingy man.
The arrival of Guan Qiuyue also officially announced the beginning of this banquet.
The auction is the main event, which will be held later, but in the beginning, it was basically a banquet.
The layout of the entire banquet is still very distinctive, and the equipment is also very rich.
After the banquet started, the entire banquet hall suddenly became very lively. However, there was an obvious change in the presence, that is, everything seemed to revolve around the two women.
One is Zhang Qingsi, and the other is Li Qingyao.
There are many people gathered around the two women. These people are celebrities and dignitaries. Everyone has a certain confidence in themselves. Naturally, they want to try it on this occasion and see if there is a chance to win the favor of the beauties. up.
Among the two women, Zhang Qingsi is undoubtedly well-known to everyone, and her reputation in Chang'an is quite good, especially for the rich and powerful, who have more or less met Zhang Qingsi.
Li Qingyao, on the other hand, although she took over as the head of the Li family, there are not many dignitaries in Chang'an who have actually met her. Therefore, only a small number of people present knew Li Qingyao's identity, and the rest were basically right. Li Qingyao was very strange.
And those who knew Li Qingyao's identity more or less surrounded Li Qingyao.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Li family is no longer what it used to be, the Li family's net worth is still very rich compared to ordinary rich people.
As the current person in power of the Li family, as long as anyone can get Li Qingyao, it is basically equivalent to getting half of the Li family's property, so there are still many people who want to try their luck.
Seeing this scene, Du Cheng just smiled faintly.
His state of mind is very calm. Seeing those young talents or middle-aged dignitaries who think they are extraordinary surround Li Qingyao, he doesn't take it seriously at all, because these people have nothing to him at all. There is no threat at all, not to mention that Du Cheng has absolute confidence in himself, and similarly, he also has absolute confidence in Li Qingyao.
In fact, Du Cheng was right.
It was only because of Zhang Qingsi that Li Qingyao was surrounded by everyone. However, compared with Zhang Qingsi's hidden indifference, her indifference did not need to be concealed at all. , it can be said to be very obvious.
For those men who wanted to chat or get to know each other, Li Qingyao chose to respond coldly, or just ignore them.
On the other hand, Zhang Qingsi, she is obviously used to this kind of scene, while chatting eagerly with everyone, it was as if she was a close friend, but no one could go any further, while Zhang Qingsi was like an elf hovering among the crowd, but it was only a moment. Not sticky.
The performance of these two women can be regarded as the scene of the banquet tonight. Many men can be said to be very itchy about this, but there is nothing they can do about it.
As for Guan Qiuyue's words, her communication skills are obviously extremely clever, and she seems to know a lot of people. She actually knows most of the people present, and because of this, she drank several glasses of red wine, but never From her unchanging face, it can be seen that her drinking capacity should be extremely high.
After waiting for most of the people to change their targets knowing that there was no hope, Li Qingyao and Zhang Qingsi took a moment to walk towards where Du Cheng was.
"A Cheng, I'm sorry, I borrowed your Qingyao for so long, so let me offer you a toast to express my apology."
After sitting down, Zhang Qingsi raised his wine glass and apologized slowly to Du Cheng.
While speaking, a faint strangeness flashed across Zhang Qingsi's beautiful eyes.
In fact, she had been sizing up Du Cheng secretly just now, especially when Li Qingyao was surrounded by dignitaries or young talents, she was secretly observing the changes in Du Cheng's expression.
However, Du Cheng's performance made her somewhat confused.
Because Du Cheng's attitude was too plain, too plain, that plain feeling, as if he was a stranger to Li Qingyao, and he didn't care about Li Qingyao at all.
This made Zhang Qingsi even more puzzled, because Du Cheng and Li Qingyao were not strangers, and with Du Cheng's demeanor, there were only two possibilities, one was that Du Cheng didn't care about Li Qingyao at all, and the other was that It was Du Cheng who had absolute confidence in himself, or in Li Qingyao.
Between the two, Zhang Qingsi is obviously willing to believe the first one. If so, she will feel sad for her close friend, and if it is the second point, she will have to treat Du Cheng again. Scrutinized.
After Du Cheng and Li Qingyao came in together, Li Qingyao was dragged away by her, so her apology was considered normal.
"It's okay, Qingyao has her private space." Du Cheng simply replied, but he raised his glass and clinked it lightly with Zhang Qingsi. He didn't mean to drink it all at once, but just drank as he pleased. Just a moment.
Hearing Du Cheng's words, a happy smile naturally appeared on Li Qingyao's pretty face.
On the other hand, Zhang Qingsi was a little stunned, obviously he didn't expect Du Cheng to say this sentence, although it was simple, the meaning was very different.
This made Zhang Qingsi have to change his views on Du Cheng.
Seeing Zhang Qingsi's expression, Li Qingyao seemed to have thought of something, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Qingsi, I remember that you didn't like this kind of banquet the least before, why now...?"
Li Qingyao and Zhang Qingsi have been in love for almost 20 years. She knows Zhang Qingsi very well. She knows that Zhang Qingsi's character is very similar to that of talented women in ancient times. She has very low regard for such occasions and money. , What I dislike the most is dealing with these powerful and rich people.
But now, Zhang Qingsi not only took the initiative to hold this banquet, but also used her unskilled communication skills to deal with the crowd, which made Li Qingyao obviously a little more puzzled.
However, Li Qingyao didn't finish his sentence, because Zhang Qingsi directly interrupted his words with his eyes.
"Qingyao, in fact, if I can, I don't want to hold this kind of banquet, but you know, if I don't do this, I don't think even three of those auction items will be sold in the end..."
Zhang Qingsi didn't care about Du Cheng's presence, but explained helplessly.
Li Qingyao nodded in understanding, because after the question was asked, she had already guessed something.
Now that she knows Zhang Qingsi's character, she also knows that Zhang Qingsi has been a very kind girl since she was a child. Even though her family was poor when she was a child, every time the school wants to donate to a disaster area, she will donate all the money she usually saves. go out.
And when she grows up, she has the ability to make money. Every time Zhang Qingyao receives publishing fees and manuscript fees, apart from remitting some to her family, most of the rest are donated to some places in need, or some foundations, For example, Xinxin Charity Foundation.
Therefore, under this premise, the purpose of this banquet is naturally ready to be revealed.
There is only one ultimate purpose of Zhang Qingsi holding this kind of banquet, and that is for the auction. If those dignitaries are directly invited to participate in the auction, even if there are people cheering, I am afraid that the auction result will definitely not be ideal. . .
