The puppets' stage play

Chapter 282 Those people, the beginning

Haizhou City.

In a splendid, solemn and elegant venue, the men and women coming and going were all dressed in costumes, smiling, discussing the situation in the world, the customs and customs of various places, and it was a lively scene.

"Tch, this is such a boring scene again. I'm going to find someone else. You can do whatever you want. Xiaobai, remember to come!"

Lin Sheng looked at the venue, sneered with disdain, then shouted to Bai Yiyi, turned around and walked towards a part of the venue where there were several high-spirited young people.

Bai Yiyi couldn't help but cast her gaze over, and a few people familiar to Bai Yiyi were among them.

He wears golden glasses and always wears an unpredictable smile.

Zhang Ke has a poker face, deep eyes, and a weak sense of presence.

There was another person who was very similar to the person in her memory, but there was a childishness about him that made her associate him with the person who was always timid.

"Gong Shouze...?" She said the name, feeling that the time that had left her reappeared before her eyes.

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm still far behind..." A confident voice came. She stopped and looked around. A cheerful and generous young woman was talking to a noble lady. The two parties were talking happily. It was obvious that the former Still just a 'child'.

"Liang Bailian..."

She stared at the other person, and couldn't help but think of the little follower who had always been by her side, and his indifferent attitude after being lonely in the Bai family. Comparing it with the other person's current appearance, it made people feel deeply confused.

Time turns out to be such a fast thing.

Although she thought so, she had no intention of recognizing each other in the past. After all, today was different from the past. The Bai family was no longer the lord of the city. Their relationship must have become weak, so she did not plan to go to the invitation.

After all, no one would welcome her, she thought in her heart.

"I already regret it, Wu Dao, you liar!" came a dissatisfied voice. The owner of the voice was extremely loud and didn't care about the atmosphere of the scene at all.

"I'm sorry, just bear with it for a while and treat it as my request, okay?"

In contrast, a gentle tone that was both familiar and unfamiliar to the woman sounded, and she couldn't help but turn her head.

There were two people having a conversation there. One of them took the food on the table and ate it casually, not caring at all about the disgusted eyes of others. The other person apologized to others with his eyes, but did not stop the former.

"Yan Wudao" she said softly, but then she found that the former stopped and looked at him with lightning-like eyes, full of indifference.

She couldn't help but take a step back. It was like facing the power of a ferocious beast, or even better than that. She couldn't help but run away. As for her uncle, he had disappeared as soon as he entered.

Yan Wudao looked here with a daze in his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to stop the latter's actions.

"One by one? Lin Dao, don't be like this, she is my childhood playmate."

"...I'm really sorry. Looking at her eyes, I thought she was your enemy."

Lindao twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at the other party with innocent eyes.

"Well, there is a deep reason for that..." Yan Wudao's expression froze and his eyes wandered a little.

"tell me the story!!!"

Faced with Yan Wudao's hesitant performance, Lin Dao instantly became interested. He liked listening to stories the most.

Bai Yiyi left there almost escaping. She walked to the backyard full of flowers and plants, and couldn't help but sigh. She had expected to meet those familiar people from back then, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, which even caught her off guard.

She touched her face with a gloomy look in her eyes. How would they treat her like this?

After all, she had never been there again since that time, and she didn’t know what happened to them afterwards or whether they had reconciled as before. She stayed where she was and couldn’t help but think about it.

"What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded. She looked up blankly, and saw a black-haired woman who looked like she was made of ice, standing there with no expression on her face.

"Are you..." she asked blankly.

"Even I don't know what you're doing here. Huh, what a ridiculous disguise. Forget it, you guy blocking the road, I'm not interested in you anymore."

The black-haired woman sneered, stretched out her hand to push Bai Yiyi away, and then strode towards the front hall. Behind her, a series of men and women with dull expressions followed. Only the woman in front of her looked at her with a hint of reverence in her eyes.

Bai Yiyi stood aside and had a rough guess about the woman's identity, so she followed the team and walked into the hall.

At the front, the black-haired woman was arrogant and arrogant. She ran straight forward without stopping, but as soon as others saw her face, they quickly moved out of the way, thus forming a passage leading to the front.

"Hey, with my bad temper, I won't-"

"Okay, okay, just give me some face."

There was only one man who was reluctant, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, but he was pulled away from the place by the man next to him. When Bai Yiyi looked, it was Yan Wudao and his companions.

The black-haired woman turned her head and glared at the other side, but she only got a mocking smile from the former. She snorted and ignored it, but strode to the front of the venue, then turned around to face everyone.

The person behind her quickly brought a loudspeaker and placed it next to the other party. The black-haired woman looked back and said in a strong voice.

"My name is Kong Leling, and I am stationed in Haizhou City on behalf of the Kong Group. Everyone, please run for the right to speak in an orderly manner. Our Kong family will never treat our own people badly."

"You must know that we also occupy 40% of the market in St. Luther and Betfa, and we have always respected harmony and wealth. For the principle of integration, we specially give you this opportunity. I hope all collaborators can take advantage of this opportunity. Unite with the Kong family”

"Whether it's benefits or channels, as long as everyone has this request, we can meet it. What we don't lack is money."

"And I, Kong Leling, am responsible for the overall situation and will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

"..." Kong Leling confidently preached her decision-making matrix from above. The businessmen below listened carefully, and their eyes gradually became enthusiastic. As a result, the subsequent bidding meeting seemed to be extremely understanding. Well-known businessmen from the state and city joined the feast one after another.

Only a few people could keep calm, but after analysis, they also believed that the conditions were really good, but they had their own reasons, so they did not participate.

"The Kong family has great momentum, but after all, it's just an outsider and can't become a big player." Liu Ju pushed up his glasses and commented.

"Moreover, this seemingly grand scene is just a cover-up for the Kong family. They have other purposes." Zhang Ke's voice was cold, but extremely convincing.

"Ha! You can do whatever you want, it's none of our business?" Lin Sheng yawned, looking uninterested.

"Haha, it's not that I don't understand that!" The red-haired man laughed twice, looking bold and generous.

Gong Shouze nodded thoughtfully.

"Brother seems to be very busy recently, that's why he didn't come here. We have to complete his mission."

Everyone nodded and agreed with each other's opinions.

Gong Shouze glanced at Yan Wudao, but did not go there. After all, the other party's current reputation was not very good. If he moved around, he might disrupt his elder brother's plan. Although he was a little jealous of his elder brother, this kind of In fact, he still won't make mistakes.

The campaign meeting gradually came to an end, and Kong Leling talked with several partners with a calm expression.

Bai Yiyi looked at the other party and remembered her uncle's words. Firmness flashed in her eyes. She walked towards the other party. Her behavior was not noticed by others at first, but as she got closer and closer to the other party, the people who paid attention to her gradually began to pay attention to her. There are more.

"Bai Yiyi?" Liu Ju, Gong Shouze and others couldn't help but frown.

"One by one..." Yan Wudao sighed, with some speculation in his heart.

Kong Leling also gradually discovered the approaching figure of the other party. Her eyes became cold and she looked at the other party with a look mixed with disgust.

Bai Yiyi gradually walked in under the cold gaze of the other party. Then, wearing a white dress, she lightly lifted the hem of her skirt, gave a bow, and then looked at the other party with a calm expression.

"My name is Bai Yiyi, can I be your friend?"

She extended the invitation, and Kong Leling's brows jumped, and then a deep smile appeared on her lips.

"Okay, then you are my friend~"

Her tone was extremely cheerful, then she picked up a glass of red wine on the table and poured it on Bai Yiyi's face with a smile. Red droplets fell from Bai Yiyi's chin, but her eyes remained unwavering.

"I like wine and I like friends, but obviously, my wine doesn't like you as a friend very much."

Kong Leling chuckled, then her expression turned cold.

"Be my friend? Are you worthy?"

"At least start as a servant, you idiot!"

Kong Leling's eyes flashed with disgust and she turned to leave. Her servants all glanced at Bai Yiyi, handed her a towel, and then followed her away. ,

"Haha, I really think that the noble daughter of the Kong family is so hungry that she has the confidence to come forward and recommend herself to someone like this!"

"Brother Tang, you don't know, there are people who just have a sense of luck, that kind of people, blah blah blah"

The eyes of the guests who saw this scene were full of ridicule, they laughed mockingly, and talked loudly and nonchalantly about each other's behavior.

"Shut up!" A male voice with hint of anger sounded, and several people looked at it, and their originally angry faces suddenly turned pale.

"Mr. Yan, this, that..." Several people hurriedly said goodbye and left as if running away.

In other corners, there were still people talking about this scene. Yan Wudao shook his head helplessly. The other party was afraid of his father's power, not him, so even he could only shut up a few people.

"Yiyi, you..." He looked at the other party hesitantly, not knowing what to say. Could it be that he spread the rumor by himself? Kong Leling didn't like men, and she didn't like women either. He was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Bai Yiyi wiped her face calmly, then she looked at where the other party was leaving, then turned and walked towards the door.

"..."

Yan Wudao suddenly fell silent. In fact, he had always regretted it and wanted to apologize, but... he couldn't say it.

So he could only watch the other party leave blankly, unable to call out.

The next day, Bai Yiyi appeared outside Kong Leling's door, and beside her were other servants with surprised eyes.

"Then, let me start as a servant first."

She said this to everyone.
