Lu Zhiwen said, "Miss Shen is a guest at today's banquet. Who dares to drive her away?"
When everyone heard the sound and looked over, they saw a handsome and respectable man in a neat suit walking over.
Shen Qingxi looked confused and asked in a low voice, "...who is he?"
Xue Fanghua was not sure for a while, so he did not speak easily.
However, the expressions of the security guards changed drastically.
Although this Mr. Lu is not from their Jiang family, he is their third master’s personal assistant!
At this moment, Assistant Lu said personally that the girl was a guest at today's banquet. Could it be that the girl... could have been invited by their third master? !
The security guards hurriedly greeted him respectfully, wanting to find out what was going on.
Lu Zhiwen ignored them.
Lu Zhiwen walked directly to Shen Wanwan, showed a polite smile, and looked at everyone with doubtful or disbelieving looks. He leaned into Shen Wanwan's ear and reminded, "The third master asked me to pick you up, Shen Miss, it’s better not to keep Third Master waiting too long.”
Shen Wanwan didn't hold back her anger and retorted directly, "I don't want to either. Why did your third master not give me an invitation letter, so I was stopped."
Lu Zhiwen was stunned, a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, "Why don't you show the security guards the information that Third Master sent you? It will be more useful than the highest-level VIP invitation letter."
Shen Wanwan asked pretending to be confused, "Do they also have your third master's WeChat account?"
Lu Zhiwen looked surprised, "How is that possible? Not everyone can have Third Master's WeChat account."
Shen Wanwan chuckled, "Then how do they know that the information I showed them really came from your third master?"
Lu Zhiwen was choked and speechless.
But that's the fact. Those security guards are just looking at what others are doing. As long as Shen Wanwan comes on a motorcycle, no one will believe her no matter what evidence she produces.
Seeing that Shen Wanwan dared to quarrel with everyone at the banquet, the guests were extremely surprised and all whispered to each other.
Moreover, the two of them go back and forth, and their relationship is very familiar.
Xue Fanghua looked incredulous.
She even spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to bribe a staff member on site. How did Shen Wanwan do it?
Moreover, when Shen Wanwan bribed this person, it seemed that his level was much higher than the one she was looking for!
Shen Qingxi's face was even more ugly.
She immediately thought of the luxury car parked in front of the school that day. The man in it must have helped her smooth the relationship.
That man... isn't he still among the invited guests today?
This is absolutely impossible!
Shen Qingxi rejected this ridiculous idea almost immediately.
"Let's go, Miss Shen."
Lu Zhiwen pushed aside the crowd and led Shen Wanwan towards the main hall.
Shen Wanwan entered the banquet "grandly" like this, and her eyes swept over Shen Qingxi's extremely ugly face.
And when she turned around, Shen Qingxi saw the scroll on her back...
Shen Qingxi was immediately shocked! !
Shen Wanwan also wants to send paintings? !
Damn it!
What she copied was Shen Wanwan's painting, but now the real owner appears directly...
Shen Qingxi bit her nails extremely uneasily, her brain spinning rapidly.
Follow her and think of someone.
Her master is Chang Lao! !
As long as Chang Lao comes forward, everyone's eyes will still be focused on her, the chief disciple. No one will believe what a madman says? !
Shen Qingxi stood on tiptoe anxiously and looked towards the main door.
When will her master arrive? !
＊＊
Main hall.
When Shen Wanwan came in, Jiang Zhiyan followed Jiang Yuheng to the back room.
When Jiang Zhiyan came out again, Shen Wanwan did not sit down where he had prepared and wait for him.
The man glanced around, and finally saw the girl in the food preparation area.
Shen Wanwan didn't have dinner.
She was wearing the dress Jiang Zhiyan had prepared for her. Now standing in the crowd, no one would doubt her identity as today's guest.
The long white dress, the wrapped waist seems to be difficult to hold, the black hair is tied up, the neck is slender, the figure is charming and graceful, and the figure is graceful and incomparable.
Jiang Zhiyan thinks that compared to the black dress last time, today's white dress seems more suitable for her.
Lu Zhiwen, "Third Master, do you want me to call Miss Shen over?"
Jiang Zhiyan looked straight ahead, "Do you like to be disturbed when you are eating?"
Lu Zhiwen shook his head.
"So..." Lu Zhiwen tried to figure out what his third master meant, "Should I disturb her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed the cold eye blade coming from his side and reacted immediately.
He chose the wrong answer!
But in times like this before, Third Master must have chosen the more torturous option!
Ling Yinzhi followed Jiang Zhiyan's line of sight and saw a girl. She was not sure whether she was looking in the right direction.
But that girl... was indeed a new face she had never seen before.
"Shen Wanwan?" Jiang Heng looked like he had seen a ghost.
Why is she here?
Now today is no longer boring!
Seeing that he obviously knew him, Ling Yinzhi asked with a smile, "Is that girl invited by you?"
Jiang Heng was afraid that Shen Wanwan would run away, so he responded casually, "Ah, Sister Ling, I'll go over there first and talk to you later!"
Ling Yinzhi looked in Shen Wanwan's direction for a while.
Shen Wanwan was chewing something on her cheek, her profile vaguely visible.
But he is indeed about the same age as Jiang Heng.
It seems that she is too sensitive.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the performances of the celebrity guests and the girl group that came to sing had ended.
The guests presented their carefully prepared gifts one after another.
The jade Buddha ornaments that Xue Fanghua carefully prepared were inconspicuous among the various rare treasures. The staff took the gift away before she could even talk to Mr. Jiang in person.
Even though Xue Fanghua was mentally prepared, she was still a little embarrassed.
"Xiaoxi," Xue Fanghua could only place her last hope on Shen Qingxi, "Is it time to prepare to present the painting? The staff member Aunt Xue has found can bring you to Mr. Jiang. You should seize the opportunity. It must be delivered in front of Mr. Jiang!"
In fact, the staff replied before that it was impossible, but for some reason, when Xue Fanghua asked again just now, when the staff heard that she was the daughter of the Shen family, their attitude was completely different from before, and they agreed immediately.
Moreover, the gifts for other guests have basically been given away, so presenting the painting now is the most likely moment to attract attention.
This is exactly the effect Shen Qingxi wants.
"Aunt Xue, not only am I going to present a painting today, my sister also prepared a painting for Mr. Jiang," Shen Qingxi casually revealed to Xue Fanghua, "Can the staff bring us both over later?"
How come such an excellent work lacks the support of a control group?
Shen Qingxi's painting was revised for several days based on Chang Lao's instructions, and it must be better than Shen Wanwan's.
not to mention……
Shen Qingxi glanced at Shen Wanwan's scroll. There wasn't even a box, so she just brought it in?
Do you have the nerve to give it to Mr. Jiang?
That's ridiculous! ! !
"Is she ready too??" Xue Fanghua blurted out with sarcasm in her tone. Seeing Shen Wanwan standing aside, Xue Fanghua cleared her throat unnaturally, "Then, you guys can go there together."
Xue Fanghua naturally didn't believe in Shen Qingxi, but she believed in her ability to do things.
Shen Qingxi would take the initiative to mention it, she should be the only one who has the right.
Shen Wanwan held the scroll between her arms and leaned to the side lazily. Shen Qingxi glanced at her and asked very considerately, "Sister, will you deliver it first or shall I deliver it first?"
Shen Wanwan smiled inexplicably, "Anything is fine."
Shen Qingxi sneered secretly, "Since everything is fine, why don't I go first?"
After Mr. Jiang has seen her paintings, he will definitely raise his aesthetic standards and expectations. When he sees Shen Wanwan's paintings later, the psychological gap will be even greater!
Shen Qingxi just called her master. Chang Lao said that it would take about ten minutes to arrive at the venue, but Shen Qingxi couldn't wait any longer.
Shen Wanwan raised his chin slightly to express his agreement.
"Old man, these two are the daughters of the Shen family. They know that you like Chinese painting, so they specially painted one each and wanted to present it to you today." The staff walked up to Jiang Yuheng respectfully and handed over the two daughters of the Shen family. Recommended to him.
The guests fell silent.
Those who looked over included those from the Jiang family.
"The Shen family...?" Jiang Yuheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his turbid and majestic gaze swept over Shen Qingxi and Shen Wanwan.
Just this glance almost made Shen Qingxi weak in the legs, and she didn't know what to say.
Shen Wanwan, on the other hand, was much more grand. She looked directly into Jiang Yuheng's eyes and introduced clearly, "The Shen family from Trade Wind Technology is here to congratulate Mr. Jiang on his birthday."
Shen Wanwan revealed the name of his company, and Jiang Yuheng had an impression. The old man nodded slightly, "I heard about it, but I didn't expect that the two daughters are still talented women."
Shen Qingxi regained her composure after seeing these words, and stepped forward immediately with courage.
As the center of attention, Shen Qingxi carefully took out her scroll from the box. The staff helped her put it on the table. The scroll unfolded little by little. In an instant, a lifelike ink landscape painting was displayed in front of everyone.
The writing is smooth, the composition is clear, and the colors are soft. It is truly a masterpiece.
Jiang Yuheng looked at it, with the corners of his lips raised in a satisfied smile.
In the guest room, Xue Fanghua took the lead in applauding. It was indeed a painting that Boss Chang had admired. Mr. Jiang was indeed satisfied!
Shen Qingxi's heart was in her throat.
With the nervousness and excitement of being about to become famous.
at this time.
She heard a sneer coming from her side.
Shen Wanwan tilted her head slightly, "Good sister, this painting...are you sure you painted it yourself?"
The smile on Shen Qingxi's face froze, but perhaps she had encountered this moment a long time ago. After just a second, Shen Qingxi regained her composure, "Of course I drew it myself. Could it be possible that my sister has also drawn something similar?" Of?"
What Shen Qingxi copied was an essay painting of hers. Shen Wanwan thought the painting was ordinary and threw it away at Shen's house.
Most of the guests were laymen and could not understand Chinese painting, but seeing that Mr. Jiang liked it, they all immediately agreed.
The praises continued, and Shen Qingxi was so proud that the previous unhappiness was completely forgotten.
She secretly glanced at the VIP seats of the Jiang family, and was shocked to find that Mr. Jiang... was also looking in her direction! ! !
"Grandpa Jiang, my sister also painted a picture for you. She must be better than me," Shen Qingxi said, looking in Shen Wanwan's direction.
Shen Qingxi knew how to kill with ease.
"Oh?" Jiang Yuheng smiled gently, then looked at Shen Wanwan.
Compared with when I just looked at Shen Qingxi, I stayed for a few seconds longer, but only a few seconds.
Shen Wanwan lowered her eyes calmly, walked to the table calmly, took out the painting she had tucked under her arm, and unfolded it.
This is a picture of...a goshawk!
When the wind and frost rise in plain practice, the goshawk painting becomes special.
My body and thoughts are like a cunning rabbit, and my sideways eyes are like a sad beard.
Jiang Yuheng slowly touched his chin.
I saw the wind and frost rising from the pure white silk, and the goshawk's brush strokes appeared on the paper with strong force and extraordinary ferocity.
But Shen Wanwan's painting is only in black and white. Compared with Shen Qingxi's landscape painting that uses gold foil and other gorgeous materials and pigments, it looks much simpler at first glance.
As expected, Shen Wanwan's painting did not receive applause, but instead attracted a wave of ridicule.
To be precise, from the moment Shen Wanwan picked up the painting, the jeers began one after another.
"Not even a box? This is too lazy."
"The daughter of the Shen family is so shabby."
"Did she draw an eagle? Even a primary school student can draw it, right?"
"Her sister is too modest. How can she draw better than her?"
Shen Qingxi glanced at Shen Wanwan with a happy face.
However, Shen Wanwan didn't have any unexpected expression, and the smile on the corners of her lips never disappeared.
She was always like this, no matter what others said, it would always be like it had nothing to do with her, and no one could guess what she was thinking.
Jiang Zhiyan's ink-like eyes were staring at the painting that Shen Wanwan had brought. He was playing with something in his hands and letting others comment on it, but it did not affect the man's admiring expression.
The second master, Jiang Suiyang, who was sitting at the next table, held a square wine glass and tilted his forehead towards Jiang Heng, "When did your little uncle become so elegant? He also enjoys reading such children's paintings with gusto."
Jiang Heng frowned and said, "The one who sent the painting is my deskmate. My second uncle is merciful."
"Xiaoheng, what did the second uncle say?" Jiang Suiyang smiled with a wicked look on his face.
Jiang Heng looked away and no longer looked at his second uncle.
Shen Wanwan was laughed at by the crowd, and he also felt embarrassed.
That woman is serious. She said she wanted to give something to her grandfather. Please beg him, maybe he can help her prepare some better gifts.
Everyone was talking, and at this moment, the door to the venue opened again.
Chang Lao, belatedly arrived.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Chang Lao, the master of traditional Chinese painting.
Chang Lao is a highly respected man who lives in seclusion and rarely shows up. He had long heard that Chang Lao would attend Mr. Jiang's birthday banquet.
After waiting and waiting, it’s finally here!
Even Jiang Yuheng showed a happy expression, as if he had met an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. He ordered two staff members to come forward to greet him.
But Shen Qingxi jumped in front of the staff and said very proudly, "Master, you are just here. You were just showing my paintings to Grandpa Jiang!"
The sound of 'Master' successfully caused an uproar among the guests! ! !
