I didn't expect the man in front of me to really dance, which was obviously a bit unexpected by Shangguan Ling.

With the surprised look of the girl in the crook of the arm, and the tacit cooperation of the gradual devotion, when the wonderful dance of a few minutes was over, Long Yun himself was calm and relaxed, but the eldest lady with a slightly trembling body was greatly consumed because of the fierce dance steps, and her firm chest continued to rise and fall with bursts of delicate panting.

After the music was played, it was a short break, and the affectionate dance partners joined hands to rest.

Walking out of the dance floor with Shangguan Ling's slender waist in his arms, the fresh and elegant aroma wafted on the tip of his nose, and as far as his eyes could see, it was a snow-white piece set off by a crimson bandeau, Long Yun's heart couldn't help but feel a heartbeat accelerating; Realizing that Ling's placket was slightly misplaced, he hesitated for a moment before hesitantly reaching out and holding the shoulder strap of the eldest lady's evening dress.

As the man's fingers crossed his arm, Shangguan Ling, who was short of breath, was slightly stunned, looked at him with a complicated expression and slightly trembling eyelashes, but did not speak for a while.

"I really didn't expect you, who look like a wood, to dance."

Returning to the seats around the banquet hall to rest for a while, and bringing a glass of lemonade to Long Yun and himself, Shangguan Ling Ting unexpectedly raised his eyebrows and approached Long Yun and whispered, his tone was rare and soft.

"Oh, really?"

"Of course, to be honest, I was surprised. You did jump - not bad, don't get too complacent. ”

Hearing Shangguan Ling's slightly teasing words, knowing that his boss rarely praises himself, Long Yun was secretly grateful to Yevgenia Liukin in the parallel world in his heart; There was no comparison when I danced with that beautiful girl before, but now I heard Shangguan Ling say "not bad", and the eldest lady, who has long been accustomed to social occasions, should be an expert in this area. So is your level really reliable?

I thought about it for a moment. looked at Shangguan Ling, whose breath was calm as usual. Thinking of the glass of red wine she seemed to have in her hand just now, Long Yun frowned slightly:

"Ling, how much did you drink just now?"

"Wine? Not much—what, can't you drink? ”

Sensing the implied tone in Long Yun's words, Shangguan Ling elegantly put down the water cup and turned his head to look at him, asking with some surprise.

"Ah, not really. It's just my personal opinion, girls...... For health reasons, it is better to drink less; In addition, there are: As he spoke, he subconsciously looked around, and Long Yun felt that the radiant eldest lady in front of him was still a little ignorant of the world, "The so-called wine can mess with sex, and it is better to be careful on many occasions." ”

"Oh, I know. Hee-hee~"

As if remembering something, Shangguan Ling was not angry at all when he heard Long Yun's words, but looked at him with a few light smiles:

"Listen to what you mean, have you invented some new theory? I am very measured, of course, drinking too much alcohol is harmful to health, not only premature aging, but also affecting the quality of eggs. I-"

Only then did he feel a little embarrassed when he said that, Shangguan Ling suddenly stopped, and raised his hand in a bit of a panic to make a gaffe. But a faint flush appeared on his face for a moment. Seeing the fair and delicate face of the woman beside him glowing with a red cloud, which was even more delicate against the backdrop of the crimson long dress, Long Yun couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, he felt that Shangguan Ling tonight seemed to be more beautiful and more charming than usual.

In this way, the two of them were a little embarrassed for a moment, but Long Yun broke the calm with words:

"Ling, do you usually attend social banquets? I think you're used to going out and about this kind of place. ”

"Really......"

After cleaning up the girl's trivial mood, Shangguan Ling's expression had basically returned to calm, and her answer was a little indifferent:

"Sort of. But to be honest, I don't like this kind of scene, and I'm not very good at dealing with the men and women at the banquet. ――But you must also know that this is the case in business, where social contacts and relationships are often more important than other factors. ”

Shangguan Ling's words were a bit unexpected by Long Yun.

He had always thought that at such a young age, he had a sizable "Renchen" company, and this eldest lady should be the kind of heir to a big family who was born with a golden key and had nothing to worry about.

But listening to her current words, isn't her Shangguan Ling's company not from the family business, but from scratch, so she doesn't have any special connections? But how is this possible, the so-called "self-made" inspirational stories may be common in sensational marketing training and books like "Chicken Soup for the Soul", but in the real world it is almost a joke, and after more than 20 years of life experience, he should not be wrong about this observation.

Thinking of this, he was really a little curious, so Long Yun cautiously asked:

"That, Ling, your 'Renchen' is all about fighting for projects by yourself, don't you have a mature relationship channel?"

"Relationship channels? Naturally, there is," raised his eyes to see that there were no suspicious people left, Shangguan Ling leaned slightly sideways and whispered close to Long Yun, "It's okay to talk to you." Frankly speaking, 50% of the business of 'Renchen' is now obtained by relying on the relationship of my stepfather; it is not that my "Renchen" is not strong, but these projects can be done by anyone, that is, it is completely emotionally decided. In this era, information technology has long been not a high-tech field, the business is similar, the technology is flooded, how can enterprises have original competitiveness? ”

"Well, that's true."

Hearing Shangguan Ling mention her "stepfather", Long Yun subconsciously licked his lips, he always felt that the relationship between the delicate and beautiful employer in front of him and this mysterious stepfather was a little strange; But Shangguan Ling's words next surprised him even more, so he didn't think much about it.

"Half of the business is based on relationships, well, that's it; And then the other half is all unprofitable business. ”

"This ...... Doesn't it mean that your company now relies on relationship business to survive? ”

"Well, I'm ashamed to say it, but that's the way it is."

Thinking about Shangguan Ling's annual sales of two or three billion "Renchen", enterprises of this scale have to rely on relationships to survive and develop, Long Yun felt a little lost for a while, as if he had some inexplicable disgust and instinctive rejection of the operating rules of real society deep down. Fortunately, this kind of love did not last long, and as the prelude to the music gradually rose, Shangguan Ling, who was still frowning slightly just now, took his hand and gave him instructions with a vigorous heroic spirit:

"Come on! Don't think about it so much, dance a waltz with me. ”

Feeling the warmth from the girl's silky jade hand, Long Yun stood up neatly and once again took Ling's crimson graceful figure into his arms.

The second time I danced, I don't know how much tacit cooperation and how many gorgeous circles I turned; When she finally paused and walked out of the dance floor with her female companion's hand, Shangguan Ling, who was enjoying herself, seemed to be a little tired, her face was crimson, her eyes were foggy, she let Long Yun gently support her and slowly left, and came to the seat on the side of the adjacent banquet hall to rest.

Sitting on the back chair not far away, Su Xue saw this scene through the sight of the girls, the complicated look on the little girl's face flashed, she stood up and walked slowly to the two of them, and greeted Long Yun with a smile.

"Long Yun, were you too involved just now? Why did you toss Ling like this? ”

"- Huh? We ......"

I couldn't understand Su Xue's words for a while, and the nervous Long Yun once again exposed his weakness of emotional intelligence, and thought that Su Xue was blaming himself for not taking good care of the eldest lady in front of him, so he became a little clumsy. And Su Xue, who had just witnessed the intimate contact between the two and had countless things on her mind, couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this man at a loss, and raised her hand and gently slapped him on the arm:

"Okay, I'll rest with Ling for a while, and you can go and talk to Captain Lin and your peers, right?"

"Okay, okay."

Nodding a little confusedly, Long Yun, who didn't use his consciousness to snoop, didn't know what Su Xue was thinking, so he walked to the corner of the banquet hall and sat down with Lin Feng and the others who were having a heated discussion.

After the previous rounds of elimination, the players from all over the world are familiar with each other, and some old friends are chatting very energetically, as a new supernova who has joined and has a strength that is obvious to all, Long Yun quickly integrated into the heated discussion, and put everything else aside for the time being.

Immersed in the chatter of the contestants, Long Yun did not notice the gaze cast behind him.

Su Xue, who was not far away, was sitting at the table with the somewhat tired Shangguan Ling in her arms at this time, the little girl's fair arms were on the eldest lady's delicate waist, her smart big eyes and eyelashes blinked slightly, but her complex and deep eyes clearly fell on Long Yun's back.

The current Long Yun, although he is coarse and meticulous, is completely reliable, but he is still as rough as ever when it comes to emotional issues; In the short conversation with Su Xue just now, he didn't use the conscious snooping map to spy on her thoughts, he didn't know that the subconscious activities he hadn't yet noticed had been spied on by the little girl who was as careful as a hair, and it caused countless complicated throbs and waves in the girl's mind.

Through the evening dress between the two, feeling the softness and smoothness of the delicate body in her arms, Su Xue slowly withdrew her distant gaze to look at the delicate face of the girl in her arms; Under the delicate face that was not too far away, the rippling thoughts were undoubtedly spied by her, and the little girl's arms unconsciously tightened a little by such a straightforward thought.

Sure enough, does the woman in front of you, who is the closest to her, also have such thoughts......

Long Yun, who was immersed in the conversation, was completely ignorant of the complex feelings of the woman behind him; When he said goodbye to the contestants and Lin Feng left the round table to find a place to sit down and rest for a while, a slightly thick and calm male voice sounded in his ears.

"Hello, Captain Dragon!"

Facing Long Yun with a little inquiring gaze, the man of medium stature put on his coat and smiled, bowing slightly and stretching out a strong hand to Long Yun:

"Our man Wang Weiguo once worked with Instructor Yan Liqiang, and we met once in the Xu family's mansion on the outskirts of Beijing." (To be continued......)
