CEO Above, Me Below

Well, let her hang out. Shi Xiaonian said, Isn't there a dinner party for the female relatives tonight, I think she will come to me when I think about it.

At that time, I will inquire about it on the sidelines.

Um.

Li Qingyan nodded.

Shi Xiaonian turned the water glass in his hand, frowned slightly, Li Qingyan couldn't help asking, Is there anything else on your mind, Young Madam?

On the first day of arrival, I found out that the young master's clue should be happy.

I always feel that this trip...is too calm. Shi Xiaonian whispered, It's so quiet that I feel a little inexplicably uneasy.

She didn't know how much turmoil was hidden under the calm anniversary festival, but she couldn't make a wrong step, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

Just like the matter of making friends with Guan Delin, she almost made a mistake if she didn't pay attention, but fortunately it was Li Qingyan who reminded her.

An environment like the Lancaster family will definitely make people feel nervous, so don't think too much. Li Qingyan sat closer to her, Don't worry, I will always be by your side and protect you with all my might.

Shi Xiaonian looked at her moved, and joked, Then I don't dare, I have to protect you well, otherwise your family will come to trouble me.

When mentioning her husband, Li Qingyan smiled very shyly, not showing any ability.

A woman in love is like a little girl.

When Shi Xiaonian thought of how Gong Ou ate steamed buns in the morning, the curvature of the corners of her lips rose involuntarily.

...

As night fell, there was another endless banquet, this time only for the female relatives.

The front clothes of the lakeside villas with bright lights are full of fragrant temples, and the lake surface reflects the lights, like a pool of golden broken light, and a faint mist lingers around everyone.

Shi Xiaonian sat with Luo Qi at a table by the lake.

The servant added cup after cup of high-quality black tea, and Shi Xiaonian held the cup to watch Luo Qi chatting with a few ladies, talking about how good her family was, or showing envy to Luo Qi admire.

Shi Xiaonian couldn't get in the middle of the conversation, she just smiled with her from the beginning to the end.

This lady's banquet is no different from ordinary women's gatherings, except for a handful of sunflower seeds, which they peel and talk about.

It's Mona's anniversary from tomorrow, and it will be held for three full days. A lady with red lips sighed and said, Mr. George loves this daughter too, what a pity.

As soon as the words came out, Shi Xiaonian and Luo Qi hadn't shown anything yet, the faces of the ladies next to them were all ugly, and someone bumped into the nonsense with their elbows.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

Seeing this, Luo Qi smiled meaninglessly, The marriage of children is destined by heaven. Although we can't make a marriage alliance, our two families have always been on good terms.

That's right. Everyone followed suit, thinking in their hearts: Do you think I'm an idiot? The devil believes that your two families have always been on good terms.

And with Gong Ou's personality, even I can't subdue it, only our Xiao Nian can make him obedient. Luo Qi suddenly turned the topic to Shi Xiaonian, and looked at her with special kindness and appreciation.

Shi Xiaonian was flattered.

The ladies all looked around, and it didn't matter if they admired Luo Qi, in fact, everyone knew that Gong Ou had some problems, but Luo Qi's ability to say it so frankly made it hard for everyone to say anything.

I heard that the second young lady is a cartoonist and has drawn some paintings. My daughter still has a copy. A noble lady said in a welcoming manner, and the atmosphere was immediately raised.

Then, everyone started chatting about some things about the Lancaster family, Shi Xiaonian listened to it for a while, and learned some communication skills from Luo Qi.

She turned the cup in her hand, and when she turned her head, she saw the petite Gwendolin smiling at her standing by the lake not far away.

Mrs. George is nominally hosting the dinner for the women's family today, but Gwendoline is the only publicist present.

After thinking about it, Shi Xiaonian put the teacup on the table, leaned close to Luo Qi's ear and whispered, Mother, I'm going to see Gwendelin.

Luo Qi nodded, Okay.

Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me.

Shi Xiaonian stood up, bowed his head politely, then turned and left, Li Qingyan, who had been by his side all the time, followed immediately.

By the lake, before Shi Xiaonian approached, Gwendelyn enthusiastically greeted her, glanced at her ear, but didn't see the Y-shaped earrings, and lost in her eyes.

Second Young Madam Gong, you are really radiant and amazing tonight. Guan Delin picked up the nice words, and looked at her with admiration.

Shi Xiaonian stood there, smiled faintly, showing a detached and arrogant attitude, Miss Guan is really good at talking.

I'm sincere. How about it? Is the dinner reception thoughtful? The Second Young Madam can give me orders at any time. Guan Delin desperately lowered her posture.

Did Ms. Guan organize the dinner party? No wonder everything was covered. Shi Xiaonian said politely.

Hearing this, Gwendelyn smiled proudly, turned sideways, and pointed to a small table by the lake, Second Young Madam, this way please.

Shi Xiaonian nodded lightly and walked towards the table.

As soon as she passed by, Guan Delin couldn't help but walk close to Li Qingyan, and asked in a low voice, The second young lady doesn't like the earrings I gave you? Do you dislike someone wearing exactly the same earrings?

Really anxious enough, just want to climb the high branch of Shi Xiaonian.

Li Qingyan resisted the desire to laugh, and said, Sister Guan, is she afraid of being wrong?

As soon as the voice on this side fell, Shi Xiaonian looked as if she had just remembered, her eyes lightly swept towards Guan Delin, By the way, Miss Guan, thank you for your gift, I like it very much. What do you like? , I asked Qing Yan to prepare a gift.

Upon hearing this, Guan Delin greeted her excitedly, As long as the second young lady likes it, if the second young lady accepts it, it will be a great face to me. This is the best gift.

Shi Xiaonian smiled, Sit down.

Guan Delin sat down beside her and poured black tea for Shi Xiaonian graciously. Shi Xiaonian took the cup, touched the edge with her fingertips, and asked casually, That earring is very special, the person who designed it Ingenuity.

When Xiao Nian took the initiative to bring up the topic, Guan Delin naturally tried her best to cater to her, Yeah, my friend is really special, he has both ability and talent, and he is good at playing the piano, but he has always been underappreciated. I brought him to work , helped me a lot.

Talk about a good piano.

It's not Gong Yu, who else.

Shi Xiaonian was silent.

If he hadn't been too taciturn and unsociable, and was afraid of offending the second young lady, I would definitely let him meet your bosom friend. Guan Delin said.

It sounds like Guan Delin really doesn't know Gong Yu's real identity. Once Gong Yu hides his identity, his skill is terrifying. Thinking back to when she was by her side for a long time under the name of Mr. Y, she couldn't figure out his identity.

Reticent, can such a character be friends with Miss Guan? Shi Xiaonian asked lightly.

I appreciate his talent very much. Gwendolin said with a smile, a gleam of admiration flashed across her eyes, but she controlled it very well, People like me usually talk a lot, but they like to be quieter in private.

Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips, brother, this is not a disaster for a woman's heart.

That sounds really suitable. Shi Xiaonian said.

Guan Delin chatted with her a lot, there was no central idea in the words, but there was only one meaning outside the words, and she wanted to be promoted by Shi Xiaonian in the future.

Gwendolin even vaguely mentioned that Lancaster is not as good as before, and she has no room to display it.

Shi Xiaonian listened to her chatting for an hour, but endured it, put on a high profile, Gwen Delin tried her best, and even neglected to entertain other female guests.

After calculating that the appetite was almost enough, Shi Xiaonian cleared his throat, and looked at Guan Delin indifferently, Miss Guan, to tell you the truth, I like the design of the pair of earrings very much, and I happen to be missing a pair of earrings. A dedicated jewelry designer.”

Guan Delin has been in the social field for many years, and when she heard this, she understood that Shi Xiaonian gave herself a chance, but the condition was to buy one and get one free.

It's my friend's honor to be considered by the Second Young Madam, but he has a rather weird temper, can you let me go back and ask? Guan Delin didn't immediately agree.

Shi Xiaonian was silent.

Li Qingyan stood up at the right time and said, Young Madam is looking for a jewelry designer to be filial to Madam. To be honest, I have been looking for it for a long time. If it is not convenient for Sister Guan to part with her, I will just find another one for Madam.

How could Guan Delin let go of such an opportunity, and hurriedly said, Second Young Madam misunderstood, I am not willing to give up love, how about this, I will definitely let him report to Second Young Madam tomorrow.

I want to meet him first to see if he is really talented. Li Qingyan stopped the conversation again with a haughty expression on his face.

Yes, of course.

Guan Delin nodded, smiled a little reluctantly, thinking about how to get this friend to work beside Shi Xiaonian.

Shi Xiaonian listened silently, and her fingers turned the cup faster.

Done.

She wanted to see why Gong Yu still didn't show up, as long as Gong Yu was found, Gong Ou would feel relieved.

Shi Xiaonian raised her eyes to look at Li Qingyan, and smiled at each other. She stood up and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a terrified scream, Ah—help, help!

It was a woman's exclamation.

The ladies who were chatting turned to hear the prestige, Shi Xiaonian also stood up, Guan Delin quickly walked to the source of the sound, and saw a girl in an off-the-shoulder evening gown screaming and running in from outside, her feet kicked She only stepped on high heels, one was naked, and her delicately made-up face was full of fear.

Suddenly, the girl sprained her foot and fell heavily on the grass by the lake.

Everyone surrounded her. Gwendolin recognized a lady from a certain nobleman, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, Miss Selena, what's wrong? Are you alright?

Ghosts, zombies, ghosts, zombies... the girl sat on the grass with no image, chanting with fear on her face.

What?

I saw Mona! That's her soul!
