Chapter 436: The cocktail party ends, Lu Jianchuan returns home
When she approached, Lu Jianchuan handed over the carefully prepared bouquet of flowers.
"Wife, congratulations on your successful speech."
When Lin Siqiao took the bouquet, her other hand naturally wrapped around his arm.
This was the first time she received flowers from Lu Jianchuan, and on such a grand occasion, it would be a lie to say she wasn't excited.
After all, there is no woman who doesn't like the sense of ritual.
She didn't ask where the flower came from. She knew without a doubt that what she had just said to reject those people must have been heard by him.
What Lin Siqiao didn't know was that the surprise on her face and the smile in her eyes after receiving the flowers also made Lu Jianchuan silently add a note to the little notebook in his heart.
In addition to bags and houses, my wife seems to particularly like flowers.
Lin Siqiao had no idea that her elder brother Lu was such a teachable person.
However, because of the surprise he gave her, Lin Siqiao was in a particularly good mood the whole day.
At the following welcome reception, she even took the initiative to pull Lu Jianchuan to dance with her.
Lin Siqiao didn't ask him if he could do it, and she didn't plan to dance properly. She just wanted to take this opportunity to hug him one last time.
But soon Lin Siqiao discovered something was wrong. Lu Jianchuan danced even better than her.
Wow, you can tell he’s practiced this!
This time Lin Siqiao lost her composure and gave him a gloomy look.
"Have you ever learned this kind of couple dance before?"
Lu Jianchuan was quite honest and responded honestly, "Yes, I have learned it."
Lin Siqiao said "oh" with an expression that said "I knew it". She wasn't angry at all, she was just a little surprised.
Lu Jianchuan's ability to read people's expressions has obviously improved during this period. As soon as Lin Siqiao said "oh", he smiled and gave his explanation.
He did learn it, but that was more than ten years ago.
At that time, the major domestic movements had not yet begun, and the social atmosphere was much more open than it is now.
Due to the special circumstances of Lu Jianchuan's unit, the soldiers rarely have the opportunity to contact the outside world throughout the year.
Taking into account the difficulty of finding love and marriage for everyone, the army holds a large-scale social event every two months or so, and ballroom dancing is one of the most popular options at the time.
The art troupe also actively cooperated and specially assigned two teachers to help everyone learn and improve.
After hearing what Lu Jianchuan said, Lin Siqiao suddenly remembered.
In the period drama "Parents' Love" that she watched before, the male and female protagonists seemed to have met at a blind date dance, so it was not surprising that Lu Jianchuan learned to dance in the army.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jianchuan's expression was hard to describe.
More than ten years ago, he was not even eighteen years old, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not be classified as an older young man.
The problem is, these guys can do anything you ask them to do, but when it comes to dancing, they get confused.
Either he steps on his own feet or he steps on other girls' feet.
The art troupe teacher was also troubled by this and could only suggest that everyone practice more in private.
The end result was that for a very long period of time, Lu Jianchuan not only had to train desperately during the day, but was also forced by the older brother in the same dormitory to practice dancing duets at night.
Unexpectedly, he became the first one to become a master while practicing.
When Lin Siqiao heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She could imagine how helpless Lu Jianchuan's expression must have been at that time.
Well, since Lu Jianchuan can dance, she won’t pretend. Just now she just treated it as a warm-up, and now the dance officially begins.
After the dance, both of them enjoyed it very much. Just as they were about to leave, the booing session that Teacher Jenny had reminded them of finally came.
Lin Siqiao was not being pretentious. She had only taken a few piano lessons in the music club and it was not easy for her to show off.
She performed the bamboo flute again this time, but in the choice of the piece, Lin Siqiao had no intention of showing off her skills, but chose the song "Lift Up Your Veil (1939)".
The melody of this song is cheerful, catchy and has some exotic characteristics, which can easily bring about the atmosphere of the dance party.
Sure enough, as soon as the flute sounded, the students at the scene couldn't help but twist their bodies to the rhythm.
Even after Lin Siqiao's performance ended, everyone was still immersed in the rhythm and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
After the dance, Lu Jianchuan was also ready to leave. Lin Siqiao originally wanted to see him off, but Lu Jianchuan didn't let her.
It is more than 100 kilometers from the school to the airport, and it takes at least two or three hours to go back and forth.
Lu Jianchuan was worried about her driving alone at night, and felt sorry for her because she was tired after a day of work, so he asked her to go home early and rest, while he went to the bus stop near the school.
At first, Lin Siqiao didn’t think there was anything wrong. After all, she was not the kind of person who took love too seriously.
What Lin Siqiao didn't expect was that she, who had always had good sleep quality, actually suffered from insomnia the whole night.
It was only at this moment that she realized how terrible habit was.
During this period, she and Lu Jianchuan were together every day, and they had long been accustomed to each other's company.
Now that they were suddenly separated, Lin Siqiao's emotions were somewhat fluctuating.
Lin Siqiao originally thought that it would take him several days to recover, but when he saw the pile of homework on his desk that was higher than a mountain the next day, he was shocked!
At this moment, she had no time to think about anything else.
If I don’t hand in my homework, my tutor will really scold me.
The key is that the curse is quite dirty!
So in the next few days, Lin Siqiao was either doing homework or on the way to the library.
Later, she couldn't help it anymore, so she asked Mr. Shi privately.
"Mr. Shi, why are there so many more assignments this semester?"
It’s almost three times as much as last semester!
"What do you think?" Mr. Shi gave her a look and let her figure it out for herself.
Lin Siqiao didn't know it at first, but after hearing what Mr. Shi said, she instantly understood that the problem might be with her.
In this way, she no longer has the qualifications to complain.
Time passed quickly in the busyness. A week later, Lin Siqiao went to the embassy as instructed by his senior brother.
Seeing her coming, Ambassador Liao couldn't stop smiling and hurriedly led her to the conference room.
When going upstairs, Lin Siqiao also told him the latest stock situation.
Yesterday she called her trader Mike. The funds that Ambassador Liao gave her had increased by nearly 60% and were expected to double at the beginning of next month.
After hearing this, Ambassador Liao could no longer hold back and said three "good" words in one breath!
As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the conference room.
The moment the door opened, Lin Siqiao was stunned. How come... there are so many people, it seems like the conference room is almost full!
"Why, Minister Wu didn't tell you?"
Ambassador Liao saw Lin Siqiao's surprised face and introduced them to her. These were China's ambassadors to various European countries.
There are currently 28 European countries that have formally established diplomatic relations with China, but only less than 20 of them have established embassies in each other's countries.
Except for Ambassador Dong who was unable to attend due to official duties, everyone else was present.
Even Ambassador Liao himself did not expect that they would have the opportunity to gather in the United States.
Lin Siqiao shook her head after hearing this. The senior brother only asked her to come over to sign an agreement. He did not say that these famous figures in diplomatic history would come in person.
Suddenly, Lin Siqiao realized something.
Could it be that all the foreign exchange of these embassies must be handed over to me?
