Chapter 645: Boarding the pirate ship again
"Uncle Liu, long time no see."
The visitor was wearing a royal blue one-shoulder evening gown, a shining diamond necklace around her neck, and hair earrings, all of which were exquisite and noble.
Liu Zhixiong frowned subconsciously, paused, and wanted to say who was so unruly that he came up to chat before he even entered the door, but when he looked up, he found that it was an old acquaintance.
"It turns out it's Meiyi. I was just about to find you." He looked at the young girl in front of him, showing a kind smile like an elder, and praised: "I haven't seen you in a few years, you have grown so big, and you are still getting older." It’s getting more and more beautiful.”
The person in front of her is Zheng Meiyi, the granddaughter that Uncle Zheng relies on the most.
"Uncle Liu, thank you. I'm just a little girl. How can I be as high-spirited as you." Zheng Meiyi has long sleeves and is good at dancing. She has a sweet appearance and a sweet mouth. She is also protected by her grandfather. She has always been the object of praise from several elders. At this moment, her mouth was modest, but her expression was filled with pride. She glanced to the side with her peripheral vision, and suddenly the corners of her mouth deepened, teasing: "I haven't congratulated uncle yet, but my red sleeves add fragrance to the beauty."
Liu Zhixiong did not expect that she would suddenly change the subject and bring up this issue. He immediately waved his hands and explained: "This is not nonsense. Miss Ye is my distinguished guest. Those scandals were all arranged by the paparazzi."
After saying that, he turned around to intercede with Ye Lan, "Miss Ye, this is Uncle Zheng's granddaughter. Children talk nonsense and are ignorant, so don't mind."
Hearing this, Ye Lan nodded reluctantly.
Liu Zhixiong breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his forehead. He had broken out in a cold sweat just now.
Zheng Meiyi was stunned when she saw this, and felt a little uncomfortable.
She has always been a highly regarded and favored child, and has never been reprimanded by her elders. What's more, Ye Lan looks about the same age as her, so being compared in front of her peers makes her even more unacceptable.
"Uncle Liu, I was just joking. If you are so nervous, could something good be coming soon?" she guessed.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhixiong scolded him with a low face: "Meiyi, I said Miss Ye is my guest. Your grandfather gave you such an important exhibition. Is this how you entertain guests? If so. If so, I’ll leave now.”
It was well known in the circle that the Liu family and the Zheng family had a good relationship. If Liu Zhixiong walked away at this time, it would definitely arouse suspicion among others.
Zheng Meiyi didn't expect that he would speak harshly to her. Her face changed slightly and she said in a panic: "Uncle Liu, don't be angry. It was my inappropriate words. I apologize to you."
Liu Zhixiong looked coldly and pointed to his side, "I'm not the one you should apologize to."
Zheng Meiyi's body stiffened slightly. Seeing that the other party really refused to give up, she pursed her lips and bent down to Ye Lan to apologize, "I was the one who made the mistake, I'm sorry."
After saying that, she noticed the gazes gathered around her, her face flushed, and she felt that her self-esteem had been trampled under her feet.
Seeing her like this, Liu Zhixiong shook his head and sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
If this were normal, it would be fine. He could still ask for mercy and say a few nice words, but the key point is that Uncle Zheng's life or death is uncertain now, and Ye Lan has specially invited him to deal with the matter. It is a bit unreasonable for his own granddaughter to hold back.
The initial meeting was not pleasant, so Liu Zhixiong simply took Ye Lan to the other side to chat with other wealthy businessmen on the cruise ship.
Those wealthy businessmen subconsciously felt weak when they saw Ye Lan, and when they were toasting, their glasses almost fell to the ground.
"I asked everyone, please be normal. Don't forget that Miss Ye's identity was exposed. We all have to do this." Liu Zhixiong warned everyone by wiping his neck.
Everyone immediately felt chills running down their spines and formed a circle, not daring to move.
"Then, Master Ye, are you here because the exhibition is unclean?"
Some people raised questions, and others immediately wanted to run away as soon as they heard it.
They don't want to go through hell again.
Ye Lan didn't hide it. He pointed to the display cabinet in front and said, "I'm investigating this."
As the words fell, the sound of clicking machine gears could be heard. Zheng Meiyi came to the stage at some point and was announcing loudly with a microphone.
"Dear guests, now that the national treasures we welcome back to China are about to be unveiled, let us applaud them for returning home!"
Bang bang bang, warm applause rang out from all around, and the glass display cabinets connecting the upper and lower floors also put down the cultural relics one by one, and gathered them into brighter and more luxurious cabinets.
Such a cool opening caused everyone to exclaim, and Ye Lan's voice reached the ears of several wealthy businessmen.
"It's too late to run away now."
Everyone: "..."
Mad, on board the pirate ship again! !
The exhibition hall of World Civilization specially built by the Zheng family has been favored by heads of state from many countries. Among them, there is a large display stand covering an area of 4,000 square meters, highly sealed vacuum glass cabinets, a ten-level explosion-proof security system, and anti-oxidation spotlights worth tens of millions, allowing the audience to clearly appreciate the beauty of the exhibits in all directions.
At this time, there are dozens of cultural relics displayed in the showcase. The traces of thousands of years and the details of superb craftsmanship are all displayed in front of everyone, which is amazing.
All the guests lingered in it. While watching and listening to the introduction of the showcase commentator, they were all filled with emotion, "These all represent the profound cultural heritage of our country. It is great to finally be able to return. Uncle Zheng's contribution in this life is worthy of us." Pride and learning.”
Zheng Meiyi stood at the front, looking at the crowd's expressions, and nodded with satisfaction.
The charity auction later should go smoothly.
The Zheng family has many children, and most of their grandchildren are ambitious. Zheng Meiyi also intends to compete for the family property. Being appointed as the person in charge of the exhibition this time is undoubtedly the best opportunity to perform.
As long as she grasps it, her status in Grandpa's heart will rise to a higher level.
Thinking of this, she picked up the microphone again, with calmness and confidence in her voice, "For tonight's celebration, I also specially invited my good friend, Miss Qu Yueqing, the most talented female music performer from the imperial capital, to come here . She will perform on stage later, so please stay tuned."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised.
It's not because of Qu Yueqing, it's because the person Qu Yueqing is dating is too famous, and the meaning behind Zheng Meiyi's high-profile announcement is obvious.
That one is coming too.
Just when everyone was amazed at Zheng Meiyi's young age and good skills, they saw her hurriedly holding up her skirt and walking off the stage, heading straight to the door.
"Yue Qing, you're here!"
Following this call, everyone's eyes moved over.
I saw a man and woman walking in at the gate.
The girl held her hair up, wore a white magnolia jade hairpin, and wore a moonlight blue and white cheongsam. With her snow-white skin and graceful and delicate facial features, she looked like an iconic beauty walking out of a lady's picture.
The man next to him has a strong and impressive aura. He is 1.9 meters tall and wrapped in a silver-gray suit, which makes him have broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His expressionless and cold face is even more handsome. Under the tens of millions of lights, It fell on his face like a piece of art.
If there were still people who were amazed by Qu Yueqing, their eyes were completely attracted to the man now.
"Wait a minute, she is Qu Yueqing, then he is... the person in charge of the Xiao family?"
