Chapter 167 Dance
Ai Weimin and Meng Qiuju's actions made the villagers even more disgusted. Now Ai Weimin's family is like a rat crossing the street in the village.
Soon the day of Lu Jingshen’s company dance arrived. It was held in the evening in the company’s auditorium. It was quite simple and everyone was there with company members.
The chairs in the auditorium were placed in the outermost circle, leaving the middle empty. The lighting was quite professional, with a colorful neon ball light.
It hasn't started yet, so the incandescent lights are still on.
There's nothing too high-end here, it's just an entertainment for the company, so there won't be any wine or pastries.
At this time, several colleagues came over and greeted Lu Jingshen, and everyone introduced their families to each other.
After talking for a while, Ma Jiahong came over with Director Wu and asked Director Wu to talk to Lu Jingshen. She pulled Ai Xiaoxia aside and introduced her to several of her friends. The sisters-in-law were all older and did not live in the compound. They were all wives of leaders.
Ai Xiaoxia understood what Ma Jiahong meant. This dance party was also a place for personal exchange. Ma Jiahong took her to meet the wives of these leaders, which would be helpful to Lu Jingshen's future.
Although Ai Xiaoxia knew that Lu Jingshen did not rely on these things and that he had real abilities, as his wife, she should still maintain these relationships, so she greeted and spoke to everyone politely.
Some people have noticed that Ai Xiaoxia's skirts are beautiful, mainly because they are not ostentatious and suitable for any occasion, so some people started asking where the clothes were made.
Ai Xiaoxia said that she made it herself. If everyone likes it, she will give the sample to everyone and let them go to the clothing store to make it according to the sample.
Ma Jiahong naturally praised Ai Xiaoxia again, saying that many of Ai Xiaoxia's clothes looked good.
The moment this woman talked about clothes, she became interested.
They were talking happily when someone looked towards the door and said, "Who is this? Why is he dressed so strikingly?"
Ai Xiaoxia looked over with everyone else. She recognized this person. It was Meng Qian, Lu Jingshen's female colleague who was very talkative.
Lu Jingshen sent me to the provincial capital to study during this period, and it was quite quiet. I didn't expect him to come back at this time. Judging from his clothes, he obviously came back specifically to attend the dance.
The main thing is that this outfit can't help but attract attention. Everyone else is wearing normal clothes, because this dance is a kind of entertainment for the unit and there is no need to dress up. Of course, everyone will pay more attention than usual and wear a little more nice-looking clothes, but nothing special.
Meng Qian's outfit looked like something she wore when walking on the red carpet at a banquet. The low-cut long skirt was decorated with sequins, and her hair was specially done at a barber shop. It was very characteristic of this era. Well, in Ai Xiaoxia's opinion, her outfit for this occasion was actually a bit funny.
Ma Jiahong and several other older women began to discuss in low voices.
"What does this mean? Are you trying to show off?"
"That's right. If things get this bad, who would I hook up with?"
"This isn't a leader's family member. Who is this person?"
"I remember this being a clerk in the bridge department."
Ma Jiahong remembered that Lu Jingshen was in the bridge department, so she asked Ai Xiaoxia, "Do you know him?"
Ai Xiaoxia nodded: "She is from Jing Shen's department, I'm not familiar with her." Indeed, she is not familiar with me because we have no friendship.
Ma Jiahong curled her lips: "It's obvious that he's not a pushover."
At this time, Meng Qian went to the side of the logistics minister and said a few words, and then the minister personally followed her to the door, and someone carried in several boxes of Jianlibao.
Putting down the drinks, the logistics director clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Meng Qian from our unit paid out of her own pocket to support our extracurricular activities and bought drinks for everyone."
Meng Qian smiled and followed suit, "Everyone, feel free to take whatever you want to drink."
There was a young and lively person who took the lead to take it, and many people followed. Of course, since they had received something from someone, they would be grateful, so those who took it would naturally say a few words to Meng Qian.
Ma Jiahong and the others did not go because, given their age and status, they did not like people who showed off.
But they didn't go over. Meng Qian came over with a few bottles of drinks and said to Ma Jiahong and the others, "Sisters-in-law, have a drink."
As he said that, he forced the drinks in his hand into the hands of several women. Since they were so polite, they felt embarrassed to refuse and just said thank you.
However, Meng Qian looked around but didn't speak to Ai Xiaoxia.
Ma Jiahong saw the problem. She and Ai Xiaoxia were friends, so she handed the drink back to Meng Qian: "I don't like sweet drinks."
Ai Xiaoxia felt warm in her heart when she looked at Ma Jiahong. After all, being able to do this in public meant that it showed her stance. Such a friend was worth making friends with, and she kept it in mind.
This was indeed something Meng Qian hadn't expected, but giving drinks wasn't her purpose. She held the drink up and showed it off to Ma Jiahong, saying, "My boyfriend heard there was a dance party at our company, so he insisted on buying it for me. If I had known my sister-in-law didn't like sweet drinks, I should have bought some other drinks. By the way, I didn't prepare any of this, so I didn't expect so many."
Ma Jiahong looked at Meng Qian and sneered, "You're not ready yet? Dressed like this? With your hair done like this, it will take at least a while to do this, right?"
Ai Xiaoxia couldn't help laughing. She really didn't expect Ma Jiahong to be so protective of her. She didn't interact with her much before, but now she really likes this elder sister. She is so awesome. She is helping her out so much. This is not just a superficial friendship, but a sincere one.
Meng Qian felt a little embarrassed after Ma Jiahong told her everything that was in her heart.
But today she was confident, and she added, "I'm not dressing up on purpose. My boyfriend is the son of a wealthy man in the provincial capital. He has a certain status, so he should wear clothes that match his status, right?"
After she finished speaking, she turned to Ai Xiaoxia and said, "Come to think of it, you should know my boyfriend. His surname is Sun, and his given name is Jian. He's the younger brother of your friend Sun Qiang. The difference is, however, my boyfriend has his own mother protecting him. Sun Qiang's mother died early, and he wasn't liked by his father either. He's quite pitiful."
Ai Xiaoxia was really surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Meng Qian, although not good-looking, was quite resourceful. It was really not easy for her to hook up with Sun Jian, the playboy who spent all his time in brothels.
But this also shows that Lu Jingshen has strong determination. Even though Meng Qian was so troubled before, Lu Jingshen didn't even look at her.
I have some understanding of Sun Jian and Ai Xiaoxia. I have heard Sun Qiang talk about them many times. They do not do any serious work all day long. They change girlfriends more frequently than they change clothes. They like to go to those brothels.
Moreover, Sun Jian's mother is not an ordinary person. Two days ago, she heard Sun Qiang say that Sun Jian's mother had matched Sun Jian with the only daughter of a district chief, and they have officially established a romantic relationship. It is estimated that Sun Jian is just playing around with Meng Qian, and because of Meng Qian's identity, Sun Jian's mother can't even let her in the door.
