I suspected that she was trying to brainwash me.
The entire Tianlong Company was filled with such an atmosphere.
I looked at Qi Mengyan and probed, "What's wrong with you today? Why do you have such rebellious thoughts?"
Qi Mengyan turned to look at me. "What? You don't feel the same?
In the past, I never cared about politics, military affairs, or economics.
But a few days ago, I took a look at our family's expenditure chart and was deeply moved.
Our Qi family may seem rich and powerful on the surface, but in order to develop and fight for projects, we have to pay hundreds of billions of yuan in taxes to the government every year. We also have to pay hundreds of billions of yuan in expenses to those so-called high-ranking officials.
The government also does everything possible to force us to do charity work and collect donations. In reality, most of the money goes into their pockets! "
Seeing that Qi Mengyan had suddenly become so deep and dissatisfied, I took the opportunity to smile and adjust the atmosphere.
I patted Qi Mengyan's shoulder and said, "Why did you suddenly become so angry?
There's no need to think about these things. We have enough money to spend, and we have food, drinks, and fun.
We don't have to cry over other people's mistakes. If they don't give us any fun, we'll look for it ourselves. "
Qi Mengyan seemed to have woken up from a dream. She smiled and said, "It's mainly because I'm old and have to think about many things."
I looked at her face and asked, "How old are you?
You look like you're worried about the country and its people. "
Qi Mengyan smiled and said, "What's the use of worrying about the country?
If we worry about the country, we'll be labeled as a reactionary.
The country doesn't allow us to speak the truth and opposes democracy.
The Communist Party has the final say in everything! "
We inexplicably talked about some so-called economic issues. Although Qi Mengyan's words were extreme, she had some insights.
Although I didn't quite agree, I pretended to feel the same and sighed in agreement.
When the rhythmic music started to play, many people in the hall started to stand up and walk onto the dance floor.
The men and women in the hall began to randomly pair up and dance.
Amidst the beautiful music, they danced gracefully. Their lithe and graceful figures swayed along with the music and the fountain.
The beautiful fountain was the crystallization of music. People could almost hear that the music came from the fountain. It was sometimes bold and sometimes reserved, bringing human art to its fullest.
The huge dance floor could no longer be described as luxurious. The high-ranking officials and dignitaries were twisting their bodies, and the men and women had a tacit understanding as they danced. It was a harmonious and beautiful scene.
Qi Mengyan pulled me downstairs to the living room.
First we sat down to have a drink and watch the dance floor.
For the first time, I experienced the social function of dancing. It seems that Jin Ling was right, in this society, social interaction is inseparable from dancing.
It was hard to imagine how these high-ranking officials and nobles learned so many dances. They looked so skilled and profound.
On the other hand, our goddess of mischief, Miss Qi Mengna, had found a handsome dance partner out of nowhere. The handsome man was reserved while she was flamboyant.
The two of them could not jump together no matter what.
Qi Mengna was not dancing at all. She was drunk.
Qi Mengyan looked at her sister and laughed. "What is Mengna doing? How is this dancing? She's obviously practicing martial arts!"
After she laughed, she grabbed my arm and gestured. "Let's go and give her a demonstration!
Dancing is not supposed to be done like this! "
I shook my head. "I advise you not to ask me to be your dance partner before you think it through."
Qi Mengyan smiled. "Why?"
I said, "Your feet will swell!"
Qi Mengyan looked down at her feet and looked at me in confusion. "Why are they swollen?
How can dancing … "She didn't finish her sentence before she realized something.
I smiled and urged her, "Find someone who knows how to dance. I don't know how to dance."
Qi Mengyan walked forward and grabbed my hand. "It's okay.
I don't know how to dance either.
Let's learn together.
Study hard and improve every day! "
I was stunned. Could Chairman Mao's famous words be used here?
I didn't reject Qi Mengyan again. Instead, I had a special thought and walked to the dance floor with her.
We danced to the rhythm of the music.
The music was beautiful and melodious, but I couldn't feel excited.
I looked around the hall. It was a harmonious scene.
The valiant security guards were standing in the corner like statues. Their eyes were bright as they looked around.
Qi Guangren and his wife were sitting in a conspicuous spot with Chen Fusheng and his wife. They were chatting with each other.
I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but I could tell from their laughter that their relationship wasn't ordinary.
I looked at everyone, but I didn't see anyone from the Secret Service.
In other words, Director Li didn't accept Qi Guangren's invitation to participate in the security guards' event.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The Secret Service was responsible for the security of the country's leaders. If they always served these high-ranking officials and dignitaries, wouldn't it tarnish the reputation of the Central Secret Service?
Maybe I was thinking too much and lost my footing. Qi Mengyan was the one who suffered.
She squatted down and complained that her foot hurt.
I thought to myself, "Serves you right. You didn't listen to me."
However, I looked anxious. I helped her back to her seat and sat down.
She gently rubbed her injured foot and looked at me innocently. "How many people's feet have you stepped on?"
I smiled. "I didn't count!
I'm not sure.
You're probably in the top ten! "
Qi Mengyan was indignant and clicked her tongue.
The banquet continued. Everything was going according to the schedule.
In my opinion, there wasn't much difference between this and Jin Ling's banquet.
It was just more luxurious and vast.
That's all.
But in the midst of the music, I suddenly remembered a person!
Jin Ling!
Why didn't Jin Ling come?
As I was thinking, there was a greeting at the door.
It turned out that Jin Ling was here!
Sometimes, I really wondered if the people from Shandong were the messengers sent by God.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. This was the specialty of the people from Shandong.
Jin Ling was dressed very beautifully today. She wore a fitting dark-colored dress with a light red shawl on her shoulders. Under the contrast, she looked very noble.
Her youthful aura and feminine charm made the lights in the hall dim a lot.
Qi Mengyan and I went up to welcome her. Qi Mengyan limped, so I held her arm and approached her.
After a few polite words, Jin Ling came in with a gift.
She didn't bring any bodyguards. It seemed like she came alone.
I asked Jin Ling, "Why are you only here now?"
Jin Ling said, "There was a traffic jam on the road!"
I didn't ask further.
Traffic jams had always been a characteristic of China's socialist culture.
Especially in Beijing, the world would be peaceful if there were no traffic jams.
The party continued. As soon as Jin Ling sat down, a well-dressed middle-aged man came up to her and said, "Director Jin, would you like to dance with me?"
Jin Ling hesitated for a moment and then pointed at me. "I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, but I already have a dance partner!"
I froze for a second. Qi Mengyan also complained with his eyes, as if he was protesting against Jin Ling's arrogance and warning her, "Zhao Long is my dance partner."
Mr. Fang asked, "And this is?"
Jin Ling said, "My friend, Zhao Long." Then, she introduced him to me. "This is Mr. Fang, Director Fang of Tianhua Real Estate."
I shook his hand symbolically and smiled in greeting.
Mr. Fang looked me up and down and asked, "Mr. Zhao is young and promising. Where do you work?"
I smiled and said, "I'm the captain of a security company."
Mr. Fang's expression changed as if he couldn't believe that a security captain would be invited to a party of this scale.
Jin Ling added, "Yes, he's in Mr. Chen's security company, and he's in charge of a brigade.
Zhao Long is an important figure in the Tianlong Company, and he has a heavy responsibility! "
Mr. Fang looked at me with a flattering smile and shook my hand again. He praised, "Young and promising, young and promising.
Here's my business card. If you need anything, we can help each other. "
He respectfully handed over his business card, one corner in each hand, and offered it to me with a slight bow.
I was flattered.
I was surprised that the name of the Tianlong Company was so useful.
Mr. Fang continued to look for a dance partner after being refused entry. However, there were too many people at the party, and there were too many men and too few women. After looking for a long time, Mr. Fang could only sit on the couch and drink coffee.
Jin Ling extended her hand and invited me to dance.
I glanced at Qi Mengyan and saw that she wasn't willing.
However, I still extended my hand and shook Jin Ling's hand.
Qi Mengyan exclaimed, "You just injured one, and you want to injure the second one?"
I deliberately mocked Qi Mengyan and said, "But Jin Ling and I have a tacit understanding, so I can't injure her!"
Hearing my words, Jin Ling looked at her feet awkwardly with lingering fear.
Hand in hand, we walked onto the dance floor and danced to the melodious music.
Jin Ling seized the opportunity and said to me, "Don't step on my feet this time. My shoes are soft and can't withstand your stepping."
