At this banquet, Yang Xi also saw more familiar faces.The strong and strong elder brother Kurban came over to say hello warmly, and Tana and her father chatted with Yang Xi cordially for a while.

Gradually, Yang Xi has regarded the banquet as a common thing, and he no longer feels novel and cramped like the first time he came.She is proficient in talking with the business leaders around her, answering questions, and walking among the crowd in a long dress with proficiency.

Although Yang Xi is very calm and indifferent now, she will still miss the freshness of the first time.Doing many things for the first time is the most precious wealth, but it will eventually become a reflection of the past, visible but vague.

The dinner has begun.The expensive dishes are displayed on the long self-service table in the center like a starry sky, and various aromas are intertwined and wafted, making the mouth water.Of course, most of the people here are rich and powerful, so they have become accustomed to these dishes, and it can even be said that they don't think so.

"Eat more, no one cares how much tiramisu you eat." Yang Xi whispered in Lin Anqiao's ear.

Lin Anqiao froze for a moment after hearing this, and smiled embarrassedly: "You can see that I have a sweet tooth."

"It's so obvious that I can't see it? What's there to be embarrassed about, everyone has their own good taste." Yang Xi smiled and patted Lin Anqiao's arm.

Lin Anqiao nodded, and went to the dessert section after eating some salad and noodles.This was the first time she went to the sweets area with her head held high and her chest held high at a leisurely pace.

As the second hand turned round and round, the people in the hall had almost eaten, and they had already started talking, smoking and drinking.Lin Anlan, who was opposite Lin Anqiao, saw that it was time, so she lifted her skirt that dragged the floor, walked to the round platform in the center of the banquet hall with sky-high high heels, and picked up the microphone.

"Thank you for coming to this banquet." Lin Anlan put on a face with heavy makeup and smiled artificially, but there was no lack of sadness in it. "I think everyone has received the news that our father, Mr. Lin Wenlong, had an accident."

The people in the audience looked at each other with regretful expressions.That expression was carved out of a mold, and I don't know how much sincerity it contains.

"But the Linyuan Association cannot be leaderless. As the largest organization in Luoxi, the Linyuan Association should have better development. Therefore, after discussion, we decided to let Lin Anqiao take over the Lin Yuanhui and become the chairman of the Lin Group. Everything in the meeting."

Everyone's eyes focused on Lin Anqiao who stood up calmly at the table.

Seeing that Lin Anqiao was very calm, unbelievably calm, he bowed deeply to his surroundings.

There was warm applause from the audience.They have long heard that Lin Anqiao is a very capable and courageous young man. He has achieved a lot of academic achievements at the same time.

Some people even saw Lin Anqiao for the first time, and were overwhelmed by Lin Anqiao's artistic yet resolute temperament.

Among the crowd, only Lin Wenhu was secretly gnashing his teeth, his eyes narrowed like an old cat.Lin Dong next to him looked at his father in embarrassment, not daring to speak.

"Next, please present the badge and ribbon to the new President Lin." Lin Anlan looked at his talented younger brother with a sense of pride.

The hostess walked up with graceful catwalks, put a brooch on Lin Anqiao, put on a ribbon, and smiled.

Lin Anqiao bowed again, but there was still no trace of joy on his face.All that can be found is boundless peace.

Lin Anlan looked at Lin Anqiao beamingly, turned her head and whispered, "Aren't you going to say a few words?"

"Okay." Lin Anqiao didn't object, nor nodded, but just responded softly.

Lin Anlan handed over the microphone to his younger brother, and the smile on his face was still very bright, coupled with the yellow eye shadow, it was as bright as a sunflower under the scorching sun.

Lin Anqiao paused, and spoke in a strange official tone: "Thank you for the trust and support of the people in the meeting. I have been running the Lin Group with my father since I was very young. Don’t worry, everyone. I will reorganize the business after finishing my studies and lead Lin Yuan to a better tomorrow. Thank you again for your support.”

The people in the audience burst into warm applause again.Not far away, Luo Yan blinked excitedly at Yang Xi and said, "That's great." After that, she happily tugged on Gerna's skirt, as if she was the one who became Lin Yuanhui's successor generally.

Yang Xi smiled slightly.Perhaps she was the only one who saw Lin Anqiao's numbness and sadness, and frowned.Against the backdrop of the formal attire, those peach blossom eyes obviously lost the look they had in school.

After that, there is a rest after meals, which is a time for people to talk freely.Lin Anqiao was the center of gravity today, surrounded by everyone, and Yang Xi couldn't intervene, so he could only pace around, drink and sit quietly.

Tana was wearing a late summer new el haute couture dress, and that color-blocking stitching dress came over.I haven't seen her in half a year. Tana dyed her hair blond because of filming, and her face is also matured a little.

Yang Xi felt very strange why Tana had changed to such an extent in just half a year.Although, there are still those deep and crystal European-style eyes, that tall nose with its own highlights, that palm-sized face, and those slender and graceful long legs.

Perhaps a person's temperament is far more important than appearance, and it can more affect the cognitive judgment of others.The girlishness of Tana's previous demeanor has disappeared, replaced by the elegant beauty of a mature woman.

Or maybe, I have changed a lot, but I see myself every day and never have the chance to notice.Shouldn't I ask myself who I am every day?Yang Xi couldn't help laughing.

"Yang Xi, long time no see. I'm sorry I couldn't talk to you just now when I was with my father." Tana greeted with a smile, pursing her cherry red mouth.

"You are really getting more and more beautiful, and your temperament is getting better and better. I almost didn't recognize you." Yang Xi tilted his head and looked at Tana.

Tana smiled a little shyly, and gently took Yang Xi's little hand.

"Half a year has passed, and everyone will change slightly. If it takes another ten years, the change will be even more unimaginable."

Yang Xi suddenly had a whim, and his eyes became very far away: "If...we can agree to meet at the same place ten years later, wouldn't it be fun?"

Tana froze for a moment, then said, "I haven't thought about it, but it sounds like a good idea. How about we try it?" It was as novel as discovering a new land.

"Try it once? There are only a few decades in your life, so why try? Just make it once." Yang Xi smacked his lips and shook his head.

Tana was almost dumbfounded by Yang Xi's mature words, but after thinking about it, Yang Xi's speaking style is certainly the same.

"Okay, where shall we meet?" Tana narrowed her eyes slightly,

"We went to Sailimu Lake this time on February 2th of this year. Ten years later, that is, on February 24th, 2025, we will meet in Sailimu Lake. No matter what, we have to wait for the other party for a day. If the other party does not It's the other party's fault if they come here. The big deal is that they are blown by the cold wind in Sailimu Lake, in case one party is late for some reason." Yang Xi stretched out her little finger.

Tana nodded firmly, and gently hooked Yang Xi: "I believe you will arrive, and I also believe that I will arrive."

"Write down the memo now, so as not to forget. I really want to see what you look like back then." Yang Xi smiled lightly.

"I want to see you too." Tana smiled sweetly and nodded.

These two people did not expect when they made the appointment, what kind of surprise and touch would be brought by just this sentence ten years later.Of course, they didn't expect that today's conversation would quietly bring about extraordinary changes in the lives of the two of them.

The two chatted more and more heatedly, and sat in the corner of the banquet hall, each holding a cup of fruit tea and talking non-stop.

"It's time for you to take the college entrance examination next year?" Tana asked suddenly.

"Yes, I'm starting to get nervous about studying." Yang Xi nodded.

Tana hesitated and asked tentatively, "What is your target university?"

"I want to go to Peking University to study Chinese. After all, Chinese is a very beautiful language. Moreover, it is said that the campus of Peking University is intoxicating." Yang Xi's eyes are full of yearning, but there is still a trace of reservation.

"Don't you want to learn music?" Tana saw the reservation in Yang Xi's yearning.

Yang Xi hesitated for a moment, and said with some melancholy: "Our family is relatively poor, and I'm afraid I can't support my major in art. What's more, the road of music will be more difficult."

Tana's eyes lit up, and she excitedly took Yang Xi's hand and shook it.

"You go to learn music, I will support you!"

Yang Xi was taken aback by Tana's sudden excitement, and asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Tana smiled confidently: "I plan to set up a record company in a few years, to find some singers with potential and characteristics, and to make music that really touches people's hearts. I am very optimistic about you, and I think it's hard to be a singer without your voice." It's a waste, why don't I help you learn music, I'll be your manager, and we can make a fortune in the Chinese music scene together."

Yang Xi was a little moved, but still felt a little incomprehensible: "Aren't you an actor? You've been very popular recently."

"Acting is a profession that lacks nutrition." Tana lowered her head slightly, thinking a little bit, "Besides, you will be tired all the time in front of the big screen. Although many people praise me, there are also trolls and black fans to promote me Yes, all this makes me a little sick. I'm still willing to turn behind the scenes in the end—a person is not as beautiful as he blooms."

Yang Xi nodded in understanding, and also remembered that Tana had said similar words a long time ago.She not only respected, but also supported Tana's choice.

"If you need, I will work hard with you in the music world," Yang Xi nodded solemnly, "After the college entrance examination, we will plan the future in detail. After all, our future is still very long."

Tana nodded with a smile.They suddenly feel like a child, facing the unknown world and the unknown tomorrow, full of fighting spirit and longing.

Yang Xi suddenly felt how depressed he was before.She used to think that her own voice was enough to make ends meet.

But life is always full of big and small opportunities. I have not even reached a quarter of my life journey, and there is still a long way to go. Why should I give up on myself and label myself as plain and hard?

In such a short period of time, she felt that everything around her was different.
