Xia Cheng was dressed very simply, wearing a black turtleneck sweater, a silver necklace, a long coat, a pair of wide-leg pants, and sneakers.
Her face is almost bare-faced, except for a little pink lipstick. This outfit is very friendly, but it doesn't look like someone attending a banquet at all. It's quite suitable for going to work or shopping.
Seeing Chen Juan staring at her, Xia Cheng asked, "Is there any problem?"
Chen Juan reached out to support her, "No problem, it's fine."
The old lady is low-key and an older person likes to be solemn and orderly. I didn't expect Xia Cheng to be so attentive and control the details very well.
Not long after, the sound of a car was heard outside the door. Chen Juan took her hand and welcomed her out.
I saw executives and shareholders walking in with their wives, laughing and noisy.
The ladies were all gorgeous and showy. It was already early winter and the afternoon was already a bit chilly, but the ladies were wearing high-end dresses with their arms and legs exposed.
With a smile on her face, Xia Cheng greeted everyone enthusiastically, generously, and spoke appropriately.
Among the ladies wearing heavy makeup, the freshness of her dress not only did not outshine her, but stood out among the others, making her unique and dazzling.
After listening to Chen Juan's introduction, everyone knew that she was Mrs. Chen. Some were amazed and some were jealous.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Chen Juan patted Xia Cheng on the shoulder. In fact, he was still a little worried. After all, Xia Cheng was young. When she was in the Xia family, her parents didn't want her to be disturbed by the outside world, so she rarely attended banquets.
None of these ladies are well-educated and sharp-tongued.
Can Xia Cheng cope with it? Chen Juan lay next to her ear, "Don't be nervous, why don't you follow me?"
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Xia Cheng felt soft. In fact, she often attended such banquets when she was studying abroad.
She pushed him slightly and said, "Go and greet those people. It's okay. Go ahead."
"Is it really okay?" Chen Juan was worried and reminded, "Don't worry about anything. If someone speaks rudely, just scold them back. Even if you hit them, I will take care of it for you."
She wasn't going to fight. Xia Cheng took a sip of Chun and said, "I know."
The two of them whispered, and others joked, "Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen are so in love that they are inseparable. Should we all avoid them?"
"Everyone was joking. I was telling my wife, don't let her neglect all the ladies." Chen Juan glanced at Xia Cheng, and then led everyone to the banquet hall.
Xia Cheng took the ladies to the ladies' room and ordered everyone to bring snacks and various teas.
She has worked in Huatian for so long that she has already figured out the family situations of the executives and shareholders. She knows what kind of people she meets and what kind of things she should say, and she also knows how to win over those people.
"When I saw Director Zhao, I was guessing that Mrs. Zhao must be a graceful, graceful, beautiful and intelligent woman. When I saw her today, I found that I was too conservative in my thinking, and Mrs. Zhao has more of a beautiful heart."
"Hello, Mrs. Zhou. Every time I see Mr. Zhou, he always has a smile on his face and is radiant. When I see Mrs. Zhou, I understand. How can he not be happy to have such a playful and lovely wife at home?"
"Mrs. Li, there is a rumor in the company that Mrs. Li is a combination of beauty and intelligence. Now it seems that her temperament is even more outstanding."
…
Xia Cheng accurately recognized each wife and praised them ecstatically based on their characteristics.
Mrs. Zhao was older and dignified. She held Xia Cheng's hand and said, "No wonder Mr. Chen is so successful. It turns out that you are a good wife in the family."
"I always thought that Mr. Chen was still single, but he turned out to be married. No wonder he didn't announce it to the public. Such a good wife naturally has to be well hidden."
"The young lady is beautiful and intellectual. If you stand here, you will outshine everyone."
Chen Juan's identity was there, so of course the other ladies had nice things to say about him.
But there was one wife among them who was more bitter. Mrs. Li was said to have graduated from a prestigious university. She entered Huatian's human resources department right after graduation. Because of her well-rounded personality, she soon worked as a secretary on the 18th floor.
Because of her beauty, she made explicit hints to Chen Juan many times, but when Chen Juan made excuses to fire her, she became angry and turned around to seduce Director Li.
After forcing Director Li to divorce and become Mrs. Li, she naturally felt uncomfortable when she saw Xia Cheng was young and beautiful.
He said angrily, "You can't say that. If a man loves you, he wants everyone in the world to know that you are his woman. Our Lao Li is the one who not only gave me a grand wedding, but also took me with him everywhere for fear of others." It’s like he doesn’t know that I’m his wife, so he deliberately hides it, maybe because he doesn’t value him, right?”
Sure enough, there is a saying that is right, high academic qualifications do not mean high quality. Of course, she deliberately targeted herself because of Chen Juan.
The other wives all felt that Xia Cheng would lose her composure at such a young age, so they all waited to see what would happen.
Xia Cheng still smiled demurely and her tone was unhurried, "Ah Juan and I are both low-key people. We didn't deliberately hide or publicize it, because I think the most important thing in marriage is the relationship between two people. We don't We need to rely on external things to show whether we are happy or not. Everyone's lifestyle is different, and Mrs. Li likes to let everyone know how happy she is."
In other words, she likes to be vain and live in the eyes of others. Xia Cheng's words are neither soft nor hard, which makes her angry but unable to refute.
The people present are all women, and of course they all hate the idea of a mistress taking the position. If you are a mistress, just be a mistress, and still be so high-profile.
So he followed Xia Cheng's words, "Mrs. Chen is right. Some people like to live their own lives behind closed doors, but some people are different. They like to show off to others, but they don't know if they are tired or not?" "
Mrs. Li felt angry when she saw those people were sarcastic and didn't mention them by name. It was all Xia Cheng's fault. She bit her lip and said again.
"Young madam, seeing how kind Mr. Chen is to you, you must be from a famous family. I thought about it. There is no one named Xia among the wealthy families in City B. There is only one. It seems that he has committed an economic crime and is still in jail. Here, you shouldn’t be..., definitely not."
This Mrs. Li really doesn't know how to give up when she's ready. Of course Xia Cheng won't spoil her.
He smiled and said, "I got married to Ah Juan, but I didn't think that we were well-matched. After all, he doesn't need a wealthy family to add glory to his career, and I'm not doing it for his money."
Everyone knows that Mrs. Li married the old man for money.
As she spoke, she personally served tea to the wives, "Mrs. Li is right, I am the daughter of the Xia family. The law has not yet said whether my dad is guilty or not. He has that kind of experience, and that is his ability. Some people may never experience it in their lifetime, right, Mrs. Li?"
Xia Cheng said and handed her a cup of jasmine and mint tea, "Mrs. Li should drink more of this tea."
Some people checked online that jasmine and mint tea can remove bad breath.
The other ladies felt very happy when they saw Xia Cheng giving them a bad breath.
They started chatting about various topics around her, and the distance between them became much closer.
Xia Cheng's cell phone rang, and it was Chen Juan calling, "Chengcheng, Professor Zheng is here with his mother, please come out."
