gentle reunion

At 10:30 am on Saturday, the opening ceremony begins.

The venue was basically full, with more than 1000 people, like a sea of ​​people.

Xu Zan and Tang Ju sat in the first row because they were the key care recipients, and Lan Tianran, the representative of Hengsheng, was arranged in the second row.

Xu Zan looked at Lan Tianran, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Tang Ju glanced at them.

Xu Zan turned around and chatted with Tang Ju: "Kong Xichen didn't come?"

"He has other plans."

"Oh, Luo Xiaorui didn't come either, there's something in the company."

The opening ceremony was the speeches of the leaders, and Yue Zhi was the finale.

His speeches are well written and delivered at a high level, very contagious.

Towards the end, he used a set of parallel sentences to boost the atmosphere, as if waves were layered on top of each other. Everyone became more and more excited, and their emotions broke through the threshold. Many people stood up and applauded desperately, and some even left their seats in excitement. Squeeze forward.

Several people rushed off the stage, but the security guard stopped them and advised them to go back to their seats.

At this time, one of them suddenly bent down to take off his shoe, and then raised his shoe to smash it towards the podium.

Xu Zan stood up, Lan Tianran looked at him, and followed him to look at the man taking off his shoes.

A few "security guards" headed by Lao Tian rushed towards the man who took off his shoes, firmly pressed him and his shoes to the ground, then covered his mouth, and quickly carried him away from the venue.

Xu Zan looked away, looked at the stage, and cheered loudly with everyone, applauding fiercely.

After the opening ceremony, before people left, Lan Tianran called Xu Zan and Tang Ju to his side, and introduced them to his acquaintances, who were all high-level executives of well-known enterprises.

Most of them are Lan Tianran's own contacts, and some of them are old friends of Lan's family. They asked about Lan Tianran's grandfather's current situation, and persuaded Lan Tianran to help Duo Lan Yousheng share some work—a bit persuading him to go back and inherit The meaning of family property.

The main assets of the Lan family are also overseas, but their situation is different from that of the Wang family. They did not flee in embarrassment. Lan Yousheng paid great attention to the foreign market very early on. Often live abroad.

Only Lan Tianran not only grew up in China, but also has been active in the country for a long time. It was not until three or four years ago that he began to shift his focus overseas and began to participate in the affairs of the family business.

It is said that he has won the favor of Lan Yousheng and is a popular candidate to be the next head of the Lan family. But this year, he suddenly returned to China. This operation makes everyone a little confused.

The people gradually dispersed, and when there were fewer people, a man with his hair combed back came up and looked at Lan Tianran with a smile: "I went to see Grandpa Lan last week, he misses you very much."

Lan Tianran said with a smile: "Impossible, when I was by his side, he deliberately found trouble to quarrel with me every day."

Xu Zan looked at the person who came, his name was Wang Zhang, from the Wang family.

——He remembers every royal family.

Next to Wang Zhang was a man with a high hairline. When Xu Zan looked at him, he also looked at Xu Zan. The two looked at each other, turning their eyes away as if nothing happened.

This man is Ying Caijun, an acquaintance of Xu Zan when he was in Yazhou.

Lan Tianran introduced Xu Zan, Tang Ju, and Wang Zhang. He called everyone "my friend". Wang Zhang was fine, and Xu Zan felt a little uncomfortable.

Everyone walked outside the venue together, and met other acquaintances on the way. Some of them knew Wang Zhang and asked him what he was doing now.

Wang Zhang said that he was working as an educational institution, and he talked about his entrepreneurial philosophy incessantly. Some people were attracted and listened carefully.

Xu Zan glanced at Ying Caijun.

After arriving at the restaurant, everyone went to pick up their meals, and then continued to talk while eating.

During the meal, Xu Zan's cell phone rang, and he got up to answer the call outside.

It was Yue Zhi who called: "Thanks to your bodyguards, you are very thoughtful."

Xu Zan said modestly: "I was just thinking about it, who knew it was such a coincidence."

He didn't want to embarrass himself, who knew that the other party was so courageous that he dared to touch Yue Zhi directly.

However, if you really think about it, mobilizing Yue Zhi is the most effective way. Let him lose face here, which is tantamount to making him lose face in front of the national audience, especially the superiors. will be great.

Xu Zan asked, "Did that person plan anything?"

Yue Zhi: "I'm not sure. That person has become a foreigner. He is a foreigner. If he disturbs the order of the group, he will be detained for a few days and then he will be released."

In fact, both of them knew that someone must have instigated this matter, but because there was no evidence, they didn't mention it.

After answering the phone, he was about to go back, but when he saw Ying Caijun walking towards him, Xu Zan stayed where he was.

Ying Caijun walked up to him, smiled at him, and then looked downstairs: "I heard that the exhibition center was just completed last month?"

Xu Zan didn't exchange pleasantries with him, and asked directly, "What are you and Wang Zhang going to do?"

Ying Caijun looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Xu Zan: "Lan Tianran is a very important friend of mine. If you harm his interests, I will not sit idly by."

In the afternoon, Xu Zan's speech went very smoothly.

First of all, no rotten eggs or shoes were thrown.

Then, Xu Zan performed perfectly, not only did not forget the draft, but he often surpassed his performance.

His speech style is very personal. He can laugh and curse, and drop book bags. Sometimes he makes everyone laugh, and sometimes makes everyone think. He firmly attracts everyone's attention during the whole process. When the speech was over, everyone wondered how the time passed so quickly.

It can be said that Xu Zan is the brightest star on this stage this afternoon.

Tang Ju secretly sighed, fortunately he was scheduled to speak in front of Xu Zan, otherwise the pressure would be too great.

Xu Zan performed so well that the people who played behind him were set off as mediocre. The audience had heard the good ones, but they couldn't mention the mediocre ones. They acted like Xu Zan had exhausted his energy. No matter how hard the people on the stage performed, they all lacked interest, and some of them even slipped away quietly.

After the afternoon session, the dinner was next—not everyone was able to attend, and only those who had received invitations could enter the banquet hall.

Xu Zan was very popular at the dinner, and the list of phone contacts grew rapidly.

The new friends he met in the morning also warmed up to him a lot, this is because seeing is believing.

Although they had heard that Xu Zan had good abilities before, the rumors were rumors after all, the propaganda on TV was not necessarily the truth, Lan Tianran's appreciation might just be a preference.

It wasn't until after watching Xu Zan's "live performance" in the afternoon that they felt that this person was really powerful, and adjusted their attitude towards him accordingly.

Wang Zhang was also at the dinner party, and he came to look for Lan Tianran. Besides Ying Caijun, he was accompanied by a strange man who didn't know whether he was a mixed race or a minority.

The man showed a standard smile with eight teeth from a long distance: "Natural!"

Lan Tianran smiled back and introduced Xu Zan and Tang Ju: "This is my cousin Lan Tianqing."

"Hi." Everyone shook hands.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lan Tianqing talked about Wang Zhang's education project. He introduced the project instead of Wang Zhang, and then said, "Naturally, I think this project is very good. What do you think?"

Xu Zan looked at Lan Tianran.

Lan Tianran responded to his cousin with a smile: "It sounds very good, but I don't understand the education industry, so I won't make random comments."

"If you don't understand, you can figure it out. It's easy for you! Come on, let's work together on this project." Lan Tianqing tried her best to persuade Lan Tianran.

Wang Zhang said with a smile: "He said that as long as you participate in the investment project, there will be no profit-making projects, so, only if you invest, he will dare to follow the investment."

Lan Tianqing said triumphantly: "This is called getting the moon first."

Lan Tianran looked at Wang Zhang: "I really believe in your ability and vision—"

Xu Zan blinked at Lan naturally.

Lan Tianran saw it and smiled, but he continued, "Then count me in."

After one night, Xu Zan drank a lot of wine, as if he was not drunk after a thousand glasses.

But after the dinner was over, everyone broke up, the excitement disappeared, and his state changed, like clear water suddenly turned muddy, but he did not become chaotic and confused, but instead became deep and dangerous.

He squinted his eyes to look at people, with a knife in his eyes.

Tang Ju asked Lan Tianran in a low voice: "What's wrong with him? He's murderous."

Just as he was talking, Xu Zan looked at him with sharp eyes.

Tang Ju felt that as long as he said "what are you looking at", Xu Zan would pounce on him and beat him, so he took a step back quietly.

"It's okay." Lan Tianran said, "You go first, I'll be with him."

Tang Ju looked at them and suspected that they had something to say in private, so he said, "Okay, then I'll go first."

Xu Zan stared at Tang Ju's back until he could no longer see him. Then he turned to Lan Tianran beside him and stared at him instead. After a while, he seemed to recognize Lan Tianran, and suddenly smiled. The apparent hostility dissipated under this smile.

Seeing that his state had changed, Lan Tianran approached him and held his arm: "Let's go back."

Xu Zan followed him obediently, his steps were steady, as if he was not drunk.

Lan Tianran called the employee who came to the meeting with Xu Zan and told him that Xu Zan would not go back tonight.

In the morning, after Xu Zan woke up, he sat up in a daze and looked around. This was not his home, nor Lan Tianran's house. The confusion in his eyes disappeared like mist touching the sun.

"Are you awake? Is there something wrong?" Lan Tianran's voice.

Xu Zan looked over, and saw a person sitting on the balcony outside through the hazy floor-to-ceiling curtains.

"I'm fine, I drank too much last night? I didn't do anything, did I?"

Xu Zan got out of bed, opened the curtains, there was a small table and two chairs on the balcony, Lan Tianran sat on one, Xu Zan sat down on the other.

They were on the second floor. Looking around, they could see rows of small white buildings. This area was the guest center, where all the participants lived.

"You drank too much and didn't do anything." Lan Tianran put down the e-book in his hand and added, "I didn't hit anyone."

"..."

Xu Zan can really hit people when he's drunk, but he won't take the initiative, but will passively "defend" - if you approach him casually, you will be "defended".

"I rarely really drink too much. This is the second time. The last time I drank too much was in Yazhou."

"Oh." Lan Tianran looked at him.

Xu Zan smiled: "You don't believe me? What did I lie to you..."

His expression became strange, frowning, as if he was thinking and struggling with something.

In addition to that time with Yazhou, he was also "drunk" once, that was when he secretly returned to Mingcheng from Yazhou.

But that time he wasn't really drunk—it was drugged in his drink, but he was lucky, someone helped him secretly...

Lan Tianran got up and went back to the room: "I'm going for a run, are you going?"

Xu Zan came back to his senses: "Go."
