[331 – Disappearing Smile]

At the end of the song, the band in the corner of the banquet stopped playing.

The pair of dancers spinning in the field each stood still with different ending movements, and after elegantly saluting their dance partners, they all followed the same direction, and they all turned their attention to the deliberately vacated little boy in the center. block place.

There, a pair of men and women with a huge gap in appearance also stopped dancing in a normal manner.

Some guests secretly concealed their disappointed eyes, while others showed disdain.

In this “upper-class” social occasion, the ballroom dance that is brought in and sent naturally represents a part of social interaction, and one’s origin can be more or less seen from the dance posture of a person.

Before that, I don’t know how many people present worked hard to practice dance steps, secretly looking forward to being selected by Ji Zhixu as a dance partner at this birthday party, and then showing off their charm…

They are all confident that their status and ability can win this honor, and no matter how bad it is, they will be taken away by the similar ones.

But I didn’t expect to kill a Cheng Yaojin halfway, making this guy who had never heard of it before become the object of Miss Ji’s favor.

Naturally, these people gritted their teeth secretly, so that they could not get angry, but they couldn’t help comparing themselves with each other, and found that this person seemed to be ordinary except for his appearance, and even his dance steps were very jerky, just like a simple ordinary person, just Involuntarily began to have some dark expectations – such as something unexpected while dancing…

But unfortunately, although Lin Jie behaved quite well, he played stably from beginning to end, even chatting and laughing with Miss Ji, and chatting happily.

Lin Jie firmly held Ji Zhixu’s hand with one hand, and supported Ji Zhixu’s waist with the other, put on the simplest ending pose, and breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. Remember the URL m.xswang. com

Dancing or something… It’s still a little embarrassing for him, who has been living in a bookstore for several years, especially when he has to ignore the staring eyes around him.

After the music stopped, Ji Zhixu voluntarily let go of the hand on Lin Jie’s shoulder, took two steps back, raised his skirt in a graceful salute, bowed his head slightly and said humbly, “Thank you for your guidance, every time I talk to you, I am always grateful. It made me realize my ignorance and the vastness of my knowledge… I benefited a lot.”

“You’re welcome, after all, you are also my old customer. I always pay attention to ‘after-sales service’ – but then again, we have known each other for almost half a year, so don’t be so… polite and restrained, just get along like ordinary friends. already.”

Lin Jie smiled helplessly, looking at Ji Zhixu, who was so radiant in front of him, but bowed his head to him, and wondered if it was because Miss Ji was the most embarrassed when she walked into the bookstore in the rainy night, causing the other party to suffer. Psychologically, he has always been extremely weak.

Or was the conversation that he deliberately dominated in the past was too profound, causing Ji Zhixu to have inertia?

It always feels… Miss Ji seems to be too respectful and submissive, in other words, “has changed into the shape of his Lin Jie”.

Although such a result can be regarded as intentional, but if it goes too far, he will feel a little guilty…

Ji Zhixu pursed his lips, his face was frightened and embarrassed for a moment, but then he struggled for a while, and nodded in agreement with difficulty: “You are right, I will treat you like a friend.”

Although it was very difficult for her to treat someone stronger than a god in front of her as a friend, since it was Mr. Lin’s request, she must do her best.

“…”

If it weren’t for the more solemn occasion now, Lin Jie really wanted to hold his forehead and sigh.

You serious face, isn’t this not relaxing at all! Why does it feel more restrained as if I am ordering you!

Lin Jiezheng was unable to complain, but saw a brown-haired young man in a luxurious and decent suit suddenly walking by, holding a glass of wine, showing a decent smile to Ji Zhixu, and raising his glass.

“Miss Ji, long time no see.”

Ji Zhixu frowned without a trace. The person in front of him was not an ordinary nobleman, but a direct descendant of a wizard family, and he was a relatively strong contemporary competitor with excellent talent, and he was already panic-level at a young age. .

Just like the information Fitch got, there were quite a few extraordinary people in this banquet.

If it were the past, Ji Zhixu would definitely work hard to make friends with these people, get more chips for Roller Resources, and select suitable partners among them, for himself, for his father, and for the entire Roller Resources counterattack…

This is her irresistible fate.

But now that there is Mr. Lin’s platform, these people are dispensable.

“Long time no see.” Ji Zhixu nodded.

Although these people are no longer valuable, the necessary etiquette still needs to be maintained, so she introduced to Lin Jie out of routine: “John Fred, the second son of the Fred family.”

She thought about it and decided not to introduce Lin Jie to John.

First, Mr. Lin’s identity should be revealed when the cooperation between the two parties is announced later, so as to be deterrent enough.

Second… She doesn’t think it’s necessary to introduce Mr. Lin’s identity to such a worthless person, it’s too cheap.

Naturally, Lin Jie didn’t know the twists and turns in Ji Zhixu’s heart. With a smile, he extended his hand politely and said, “Hello.”

John’s face was a little weird. He didn’t stretch out his hand, but frowned and looked at Ji Zhixu. After waiting for a while, he found that the former did not intend to introduce any further, and his expression when he looked at Lin Jie became a little more exciting.

It wasn’t embarrassment, of course, but a mixture of surprise, sarcasm, enlightenment, and schadenfreude.

In his view, there are only two situations in which only one party is introduced. The first is that the identity of this person is known to everyone, and the second is that this person is not worthy of introduction.

He had never seen the black-haired young man in front of him before, the first situation was completely impossible.

So there is only the second situation… I didn’t expect that this guy was just a shield pulled by Ji Zhixu? Just because I didn’t want to choose one of them as my future partner, I made this decision…

He maintained a smile on his face but not a smile, and said, “Excuse me, Miss Ji, this gentleman, doesn’t he have a name? I think that the two sides of the introduction should be given equality. This is the most basic etiquette, isn’t it?”

John raised his head arrogantly and proudly, raised the corner of his mouth, and continued, “Even if there is a huge gap in identities between the two parties, it would be too embarrassing to introduce only one party.”

“…?”

Ji Zhixu was a little confused.

Yeah, it’s really embarrassing.

But why did you not feel embarrassed at all, but rather proud? Is this insult not strong enough, or is this John actually a shaker?

But now is not the time to think about it…

Ji Zhixu’s eyes stayed on Lin Jie’s palm that was hanging in the air for a while, his heart tightened, and he raised his head to look at Lin Jie’s face.

The smile on the bookstore owner’s face has disappeared.
