Chapter 747 My Sister
Qiao Ruoxing followed her father and brother off the stage. As soon as she sat down, the lights on the stage dimmed.
Then the sound of orchestral instruments slowly sounded from all around.
Suddenly, the lights on the stage suddenly lit up, and the background of the stage was replaced by an ancient-style screen.
Then a deep singing voice began, and a group of people filed in.
As the music progressed, the opera began.
When Mrs. Gu heard the familiar singing voice, she suddenly raised her head. When she found the person on the stage, she excitedly pulled her grandson, "Lan Xi! Lan Xi! How could there be Lan Xi! You didn't tell me that he was coming."
Gu Jingyan took the old lady's hand off her arm and said speechlessly, "You are old, why are you so uncalm like a star-chasing kid."
The old lady's eyelids jumped, "You bastard, who are you talking about being old?"
If she hadn't been outside at the moment, the old lady would have slapped him.
I wanted to see Ruoxing being recognized by her family, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise to see my favorite Peking Opera actor singing. Nothing could make me happier than this.
The old lady complained, "You didn't tell me earlier. If I had known, I would have dressed up carefully before going out."
Gu Jingyan said, "Teacher Lan Xi is younger than my father. He should not be in the mood to pay attention to what an old fan like you wears."
Old fan = elderly fan
The old lady couldn't bear it this time and kicked him under the stool.
Gu Jingyan shut up.
The truth is not allowed to be told.
He didn't know that Lan Xi was going to perform. After thinking about it, it should be Mrs. Chen who invited him.
Other people in the audience were also surprised and happy.
Teacher Lan Xi has many fans in the circle, many of whom are his amateur fans, but after he announced that he would no longer perform publicly, it was too difficult for everyone to hear him sing once. Inviting him is not a matter of money. Even if you have money, you may not be able to invite him.
Everyone had heard him sing half a year ago, at the birthday party of Mrs. Gu.
I didn't expect that the recognition party of the daughter of the Song family could give people another feast for the ears.
"Don't say, although the hotel is average, you can see that the people who invited it really put in a lot of effort."
"Those who can be invited with money are nothing, and those who can't be invited with money are really thoughtful."
"Look carefully, it actually cost a lot of money to hold it here. Those eternal flowers and the connections used when inviting Lan Xi are all not cheap."
"Didn't you hear them just now? People chose this hotel not to save money, but to take care of their friends' business."
"Damn it, if I had known that Qiao Ruoxing was the daughter of the Song family, I would have made friends with her before. If she had achieved enlightenment, she could also take me to ascend to heaven."
...
After a long time, Teacher Lan Xi's performance ended.
He took the microphone and gave a congratulatory speech.
Song Wanqian was very happy and asked someone to give a big red envelope to each person performing on the stage.
After the performers on the stage left, the door of the banquet hall suddenly opened, and then an elderly man, leading a few young people, slowly came in with a small food cart.
Everyone looked sideways.
The dishes were all served, what was he doing?
The old man was dressed in a Zhongshan suit, with a proper demeanor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked majestic without being angry.
He stared at the eyes of everyone and walked step by step to the table where Qiao Ruoxing was.
After arriving, he stood still and introduced himself, "Hello, ma'am, I am Zhang You, the chef of this banquet tonight. I am honored to prepare this dinner for you and your family and friends. I hope the taste suits your taste."
Qiao Ruoxing hurriedly stood up and shook hands with the old man, "Hello, the dishes are great, thank you for your hard work."
The old man smiled and said, "It is my honor to prepare this dinner for you."
Then he raised his hand, and the apprentices immediately brought the plates on the food cart to the table.
Zhang You introduced, "This is the most unique dish I prepared for you, called "Bitterness before Sweetness". I hope your future life will be like this dish, with a little bitterness before sweetness."
"Oh my god, Zhang You? The heir of the Zhang family recipes, the champion of the National Chef Competition for five consecutive years? You actually invited him?"
"Who is who?"
"The owner of the restaurant that was on the news before, where the leader took the head of state of a certain country to taste the food. He cooked it himself. It is said that the head of state ate it and returned home, thinking about this dish all the time. , and later they specially sent someone to China to invite him to cook another meal. "
"I was wondering why the dishes at today's banquet tasted so good, it turned out that the chef was specially invited."
"Correction, it's not an ordinary chef, it's the national chef champion, the chef that the president is thinking about."
"Lan Xi again, and the chef champion again, who said that the Song family didn't value Qiao Ruoxing and chose a small hotel? Just the money for inviting Zhang You can stay in Dihao for three days, right?"
Mrs. Chen listened to these discussions and couldn't help pressing her temples a few times.
It was worth it that she tossed until midnight last night and contacted people early in the morning.
The hotel for the family reunion banquet was booked with her, and she had no way to change the venue. If she wanted to make it more stylish, she could only think about other things.
For example, inviting Lan Xi and Zhang You to take charge.
These two people are not easy to invite. Spending money is a small matter, the main thing is to spend connections.
It's also thanks to the connections that Mrs. Chen has gathered over the years. Although it took some effort, it was finally done.
Su Wanqin glanced coldly at Mrs. Chen, who smiled politely in response.
After watching the banquet, no one dared to say that the Song family did not value this newly recognized daughter.
Qiao Ruoxing wanted to find Gu Jingyan and Xiaoxiao, but as soon as she left the table, several rich ladies surrounded her and talked to her.
These people had no grudge against him before. They probably knew her identity and wanted to get acquainted with her, so they came over to chat.
Song Jiayu also came out of the bathroom at this moment. When she saw Qiao Ruoxing surrounded by people talking, she pursed her lips and stepped forward.
Before he could reach the front, Jin Lei followed him at some point, "Miss Song, let me help you touch up your makeup."
The real daughter's makeup was better than what he did for Song Jiayu. Jin Lei couldn't help but worry that because Song Jiayu didn't grab the limelight, he would change his mind and appear more attentive.
Song Jiayu was not in the mood to touch up her makeup at the moment, so she said calmly, "No need."
Jin Lei was reluctant, "There is some makeup peeling off on both sides of the nose. I suggest you touch it up, otherwise it won't look so good when taking photos."
Song Jiayu frowned, and just as he was about to say something, Qiao Ruoxing's voice came to his ears, "Is this Teacher Jin Leijin?"
Jin Lei was startled for a moment, and seemed a little flattered by the decent daughter's inquiry, "Do you know me?"
Qiao Ruoxing smiled, "I don't know you, but my friend is very familiar with you. He helped me make an appointment with you to help me design my look tonight."
Jin Lei was surprised. The real daughter of the Song family had come to see him?
How come he doesn't know anything about it?
Jin Lei was thinking about this matter when he heard Qiao Ruoxing say, "My friend's surname is Shen, the boss of Qingshan Media. He said that he has a good relationship with you and helped me make an appointment. However, you took a new order and couldn't keep up with it." Come on, when you and Mr. Shen were on the phone last night, I was right next to you. It turns out that Miss Song you were talking about was my sister Song Jiayu. "
Jin Lei's face turned pale.
