In the top-floor restaurant with ultra-high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, and excellent light and shadow effects, Zhou Wangqing leaned against an inconspicuous corner on one side of the stage, watching Wang Ying and others who were busy adjusting instruments on the stage. people.
The piano was placed alone in the triangular area at the front of the stage, and Jiang Mo was sitting there, tuning it before playing.
At this time, the lights in the stage area were dim. Except for some guests nearby, no one noticed this cold and fairy-like woman.
Regardless of whether the restaurant will be successful in the future, it has to be said that the hardware facilities of the restaurant are indeed impeccable, especially the sound system - the
retro-style CD player is playing light music without lyrics, but the tune is very good. Familiar, Zhou Wang listened for a while and recognized it as a popular English song that most people are familiar with - "Shape of you".
The brisk tone fits the atmosphere very well, and combined with the sight of guests in the lobby, it creates the tone that should be expected for a grand opening.
Zhou Wang's eyes swept across the audience, and he did spot a few familiar figures -
Li Chen, whom he had met at the BSK shareholders' meeting, Lin Dantong and Wang Xiaoxiao from Wuyou Media, and the e-commerce company whose syllables were beating. Qi Lingtong, the vice president of the operations department, and the woman accompanying him should be a certain director of Syllable Beat.
There are also some celebrities that Zhou Wang has never met in real life, but has watched on TV, such as Ma Fanshu, a beautiful host on the China TV Sports Channel. Zhou Wang was deeply impressed by her when he watched the World Cup...
Although the host's appearance and condition are very different. Not bad, but there are still very few people with such good looks.
"Hey, Momo, is that you?"
He was looking around in boredom when he heard a probing voice coming from the side. He couldn't help but look away and looked in Jiang Mo's direction.
At this time, Jiang Mo had just finished adjusting the piano. When he came down from the stage, he met two girls with beautiful flowers and champagne. The long-haired girl on the left, who was wearing a small suspender and dressed unrestrainedly, glanced at Jiang Mo. , couldn't help but stop, with a surprised expression on his face.
Jiang Mo has other friends in Beidu?
Out of curiosity, Zhou Wang silently moved closer.
"Sisi?"
Jiang Mo, who had lowered his head slightly when he heard the girl's voice, was startled and recognized her.
After confirming that the impossibly beautiful woman in front of her was indeed Jiang Mo, the girl who was dressed boldly handed the champagne in her hand to the companion next to her, and she walked over and took Jiang Mo's hand enthusiastically.
"Ah, Momo, it's really you. Why are you in Beidu?"
Sisi saw a hint of surprise and disbelief in her eyes when she saw Jiang Mo's current appearance. Although the Jiang Mo in her impression was also very... Beautiful, but has she ever had such an ethereal temperament?
Soon, the girl named Sisi covered up the strangeness in her eyes and just asked impatiently.
"I came to Beidu to study, and now I'm at the Huaxia Conservatory of Music..."
Jiang Mo explained softly.
"Oh, no wonder, I remember that you play the piano very well, so why do you come to this opening dinner? Are you invited by someone or..."
"No, I came to perform with my classmates. "
Facing Sisi's temptation, Jiang Mo answered truthfully.
"Oh, I understand. I heard Mr. Liao said that some live performances were arranged, but I didn't expect you to be among them."
Hearing Jiang Mo say this, Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. She relaxed a lot and introduced with a smile. Pick up another girl next to you.
"That's just right, Momo, let me introduce you, this is Lele, my best friend, her boyfriend is Mr. Liao... Ah, you don't even know Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao is the owner of this restaurant "One, let me tell you, this building also belongs to Mr. Liao!"
Seeing Jiang Mo's expression was a little confused, Sisi had to introduce it again, but Jiang Mo's expression still didn't seem to change, and he didn't seem to be able to get it. Total awesomeness.
"Hello."
Jiang Mo just nodded flatly to the girl named Lele.
Si Si suddenly felt bored and couldn't help but curse a little.
Your family must have gone bankrupt a long time ago. Why do you still live like a fairy who is not stained by dust? Since you come to the restaurant to perform, then Lele is like half of your sponsor. Can't you even smile?
"Sisi, who is she?"
At this time, the girl next to Sisi who was wearing luxury goods and had a serious expression asked slowly.
Lele has been frowning since she saw Jiang Mo. She really felt uncomfortable standing in front of a girl with such a temperament. In addition, Jiang Mo's cold attitude in greeting her at this time made her feel disgusted. .
"Lele, this is Jiang Mo, who was my neighbor when I was a child. Well, something happened to her family later, so we..."
When Lele introduced Jiang Mo to Sisi, Zhou Wang thought for a moment. , finally connected some fragments in memory.
He has actually seen these two girls named Lele and Sisi.
The one named "Sisi" among them has been seen more than once.
It should have been on Jiang Mo's mobile phone at the earliest. In the first chapter of "Angels and Demons", Jiang Mo, who was desperate, tried to find help. At that time, she rummaged through her mobile phone and only contacted a friend named "Sisi".
If nothing else, it was the girl in front of me.
Later, Zhou Wang met her once, on the day he went to pick up his Ferrari 812C at the auto show -
thinking about it now, Zhou Wang could probably understand why he had such high privileges in a brand like Ferrari. .
Sisi was with Young Master Zhang and the others that day, but Zhou Wang's attention was on Su Yajing at that time, and his memory has faded a bit later.
The third meeting was in Hangzhou. Sisi and Lele were both there. It was in the Ambré Cie restaurant. When completing the second hidden round, Zhou Wang who was using [Ari's Conch] could hear to everyone's voice.
At that time, Sisi complained about her best friend named Lele...
It was only after thinking of this that Zhou Wang remembered where he had met Mr. Liao, whom he met in Baicheng.
It was also in that restaurant, and wasn't the middle-aged man dining at the same table with the two girls the same real estate businessman Liao Jianli who was living in Beidu?
From this, Zhou Wang was certain that the familiar figure he just saw at the door of the restaurant should be Liao Jianli.
It's quite a coincidence...
In other words, he is the boss of Qiang Sheng Real Estate. He also forgot to take a look at the other party's business card at that time, otherwise Zhou Wang wouldn't be so slow.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the restaurant. Zhou Wang turned his head and took a look, just in time to see a group of people walking in. Walking in front, the person accompanying the other man was Liao Jianli.
Behind him are Qu Jie, Wang Feiyu and their parents.
Seeing Liao Jianli appear, Lele, who was a little impatient next to him, called Sisi, "Okay, Sisi, stop reminiscing about the past. Brother Liao is here. Let's go there quickly."
"Hey, okay... then Mo "Mo, let's go now. I'll invite you out for a party later."
Sisi also saw the group of people coming in at the door of the restaurant, and she didn't care to talk to Jiang Mo and hurried over.
Lele glanced at Jiang Mo one last time with unknown meaning, then pulled Sisi and walked over there quickly, her footsteps very fast... Judging from the reactions of many guests in the restaurant at this time, they might not be able to squeeze in if they arrive late. .
After the two girls left, Jiang Mo noticed Zhou Wang standing not far away. She walked over and looked curiously at Zhou Wang, who showed a rare stunned posture.
"Honey, what are you looking at?"
Zhou Wang couldn't come back to his senses for a moment. He just stared at the man who walked in accompanied by Liao Jianli himself. There was a silent roar in his field of vision -
from [Memory Gear] The characters overlapped with reality at this moment, as if the whole world was blurred for a moment, and then became clear.
Wang Ruxi!
How could the man who worked in the embassy and personally proposed a certain plan to him appear here?
At this moment, Zhou Wang heard the system prompt.
bite!
[Detected the host's first encounter with the 'character' in memory, triggered an adventure, and opened a hidden round - Secret and Great: Prologue]
[Automatically bound to the adventure object: Wang Ruxi]
[Secret and Great: Prologue - Please follow the system prompts Keywords, have a separate conversation with the target character Wang Ruxi, and give different levels of rewards depending on the completion of the conversation and the performance of the host]
[Have you ever thought that you could once live another life? ]
[I am the chosen one and the only one]
...
another hidden round!
Zhou Wang didn't expect that this hidden round would come so suddenly, and it seemed that he was no longer asked to explore human nature and the opposite sex, but... he was asked to explore himself.
After taking a look at the information provided by the system, Zhou Wang was a little surprised.
It turned out that Wang Ruxi was no longer a staff member of the embassy in his memory, but had become the chairman of the Yunshang Trust China Foundation!
The other party's identity change should have occurred within the past two years, and it was obvious that it had a great relationship with him.
But here comes the problem. Zhou Wang, who has not yet finished collecting the [Memory Gears], has no idea what happened in the past two years, but there is no doubt that from Wang Ruxi's perspective, he must be extremely familiar with himself. .
Maybe it was the other party who helped "him" return to the country.
The system has specified that to complete this hidden round, he must have a crucial 1v1 conversation with Wang Ruxi.
And...you can't reveal any obvious flaws.
Damn, it feels so difficult. The hidden round of [Angels and Demons] should be more comfortable, I just need to concentrate on the game.
But no matter what, Zhou Wang couldn't miss this opportunity. He had to wait for the next system reward [Memory Gear] but he didn't know when it would be. Through Wang Ruxi, he would undoubtedly be able to learn more about the experience of his "other self".
However, Zhou Wang still needs to think carefully about how to proceed with this conversation.
After a while, as the guests in the hall surged toward the door, Zhou Wang came back to his senses, and only then did he notice that his senior sister was standing to the side, looking at him with concern.
He squeezed Jiang Mo's smooth hand and shook his head to indicate that he was fine. He just thought of something, and Zhou Wang casually warned him:
"Senior sister, that Sisi and her best friend don't feel very good to me. You will still be there in the future." Don't have anything to do with them."
"I understand."
Jiang Mo nodded lightly.
Zhou Wang actually knew that what he said was a bit redundant. Since Jiang Mo could detect that Ding Yi was hiding other thoughts, she should have a clear judgment on whether Sisi really regarded her as a friend.
So Zhou Wang just warned him and said no more.
...
In fact, most of the guests present had never heard of Wang Ruxi or the reputation of "Cloud Trust".
When they met and greeted Wang Ruxi, their initial courtesy was due to Liao Jianli's personal presence.
When the deputy director of Huaxia TV and the director with a jumping syllable saw Wang Ruxi, they all stood up in surprise and joy and walked over quickly.
"Mr. Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as charming as ever!"
Director Zhou from Huaxia Station firmly held Wang Ruxi's hand. While feeling emotional, his tone was unusually polite, even with a hint of flattery.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, have you been transferred to Huaxia Station?"
Wang Ruxi seemed a little surprised to see the other party.
"Ashamed, ashamed. I will reach retirement age in a few years. I will be taken care of by my old boss. Coming here can be regarded as fulfilling a literary dream when I was young. Hahaha... I can't compete with you, Mr. Wang. I have left the system. , but it's really as if the sea is vast and the fish is leaping, and the sky is letting birds fly!"
Director Zhou opened his mouth, and many people around him showed strange expressions.
If you put it this way, Mr. Wang was also an official figure in the past. Has he given up politics and gone into business?
But no matter what, if Director Zhou's attitude is not enough to explain the problem, then the words from the syllable-beating director Jin Lu are enough to stir everyone's imagination.
"Mr. Wang, you are not kind. Last time we saw each other in Hong Kong, I thought we were already friends."
"Director Jin, what do you mean by that?"
Wang Ruxi was startled and obviously didn't understand.
Jin Lu only thought that Wang Ruxi was still acting, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Mr. Wang, the equity is already in your hands anyway, are you still afraid of any news leaking?"
"Equity?"
"Our syllable-beating equity is not just today. Was part of it acquired by your Yunshang Trust? Mr. Wang, it's boring for you to do this..."
What?
At this point in time, can anyone else acquire the equity of "Syllable Jump"?
While the people nearby were shocked, Wang Ruxi frowned, "Is there such a thing? I don't know..."
Wang Ruxi was about to speak subconsciously, but suddenly thought of something. If it was the woman who handled it, then That makes sense.
So Wang Ruxi quickly changed her words without changing her expression, "Sorry, you also know that our Yunshang Trust handles too many investments every day, and I forgot about it for a while."
"Then Mr. Wang, there will be a next time. You had to inform me in advance, otherwise I would not be able to answer the questions asked by other members of the board of directors. It would be very embarrassing for me as a director..."
When Jin Lu spoke with a smile, other guests present also came to their senses and understood that this unknown Wang Ruxi was probably an extraordinary person.
No wonder, whether it was Liao Jianli or Director Zhou, they all behaved like this...
For a while, people who thought they had some status all smiled and exchanged greetings with Wang Ruxi, hoping to get each other's business card.
It's a pity that Wang Ruxi's temperament is too serious. Even in such social occasions, he doesn't have much smile on his face, but even so, he still can't stop everyone's enthusiasm.
It wasn't until Wang Ruxi glanced at Liao Jianli that Liao Jianli knew that Wang Ruxi was getting a little annoyed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to save the situation.
"Okay, everyone, Mr. Wang has just got off the plane. Let's give Mr. Wang some rest first. It's a long night. In a while, you will have a chance to have a drink and talk with Mr. Wang."
Liao Jianli was also in high spirits at this time. Perhaps the only one present was Zhou Tai. Chang He knew what kind of person Wang Ruxi was -
no, maybe even Director Zhou didn't know that well.
Although the opponent has left the mechanism, his energy is greater than before.
It is no exaggeration to say that under normal circumstances, someone at the level of Director Zhou might not have the opportunity to sit down and chat with him.
Director Zhou told him before that he would just show up and sit for a while and then leave without eating. But look at this moment, after Wang Ruxi appeared, Director Zhou immediately stopped mentioning this topic, including that The same is true for Director Jin...
Liao Jianli just revealed a little bit, and suddenly there were several heavyweights who might not have attended originally, and they were already on their way.
In fact, he himself didn't expect that Wang Ruxi would actually be present today. He only shamelessly invited the other party based on the thin friendship they had developed after the previous interaction.
So Liao Jianli was very surprised when he heard that the other party had actually arrived.
With someone like Wang Ruxi present, Liao Jianli felt that he was truly honored.
However, when Liao Jianli enthusiastically invited Wang Ruxi to take a seat, Wang Ruxi suddenly shook his head, "I'm not going to sit down anymore. Mr. Liao, I wish you a prosperous business. It's almost time for me to leave."
"Huh?
" Let's go, Liao Jianli suddenly became anxious, "Mr. Wang, you just came..."
Cao Meijuan and Wang Yaolong on the side were also a little anxious. After knowing that Wang Ruxi was not an ordinary person, they had not had time to really make friends with each other. Why is this Wang Are you leaving anyway?
"I have to catch a flight tonight, so I really can't stay too long."
Wang Ruxi shook his head, "Mr. Liao, in addition to congratulations, I have one more thing to ask you..."
"Mr. Wang, please "Said."
Liao Jianli realized that the other party had ulterior motives. Although he still wanted to persuade, he could only suppress his thoughts at this time and responded helplessly.
"I heard that you went back to Yunnan Province recently. Can you tell me, you..."
Wang Ruxi was speaking, and her eyes accidentally glanced, but her words suddenly stopped.
Liao Jianli, who was listening intently, saw that Wang Ruxi was silent. He couldn't help but look up strangely, and saw Wang Ruxi staring in a certain direction with a somewhat shocked expression.
He turned around and saw that as the time approached, the light from above the stage began to shine down, illuminating the originally dark area.
There, the band members who were coming to perform were making preparations. Next to them, a handsome young man in casual clothes was leaning under the stage, chatting and laughing with another beautiful girl.
Wang Ruxi seemed to be looking in that direction.
At this time, Wang Ruxi was indeed surprised.
How could that person... appear here?
He originally wanted to find out about Zhou Wang from Liao Jianli, because he heard from another channel that the two had met once in Dian Province.
Who made this master give the death order and not allow himself and that woman to contact him at all -
I don't know... how he is recovering.
