Chen Ran in the crowd also cast his eyes on Madam Ye. He saw that her hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head, with only a simple wooden hairpin as decoration. She was wearing a long black dress inlaid with diamonds. She walked from a distance as if a silver star from the sky had descended to earth.
Wait, isn’t this the limited edition dress that I almost bought at the Chanel counter? Luckily I believed Lin Qianqian, otherwise I would have worn the same dress as Mrs. Ye today.
Chen Ran was very shocked. It was exactly the same as what Lin Qianqian said in her heart, but what happened next made her even more surprised.
Mrs. Ye walked up to her and suddenly stopped. The waiter beside her moved the champagne over in time.
"Ma'am, I think you have a good eye. Could we have a glass of champagne together?"
Chen Ran was stunned. She never thought that such great luck would befall her.
In previous banquets, anyone who was chosen by Madam Ye would later establish business connections. Being able to have connections with the Ye family in Beijing would naturally elevate their status in the entire wealthy circle.
Although the Lin family is also wealthy, they can only squeeze into the top 30 on the Beijing rich list, which is still a big gap from the Ye family, which ranks first.
Chen Ran suppressed his inner excitement and said with a polite smile, "Of course, Madam Ye, it's my honor."
She raised the champagne that Mrs. Ye handed to her and took a sip.
The toasting part is over, and next is the time for free chatting.
Mrs. Ye likes Chinese classical culture very much, and her conversations inevitably involve classical poetry and paintings.
"Tang Yin is someone I really like. I wonder what Mrs. Lin thinks of him?"
Chen Ran's mind went blank. She had heard of Tang Yin, but that was all she knew. She had no research on him.
It's over! The chat with Madam Ye is about to get stuck!
Just when Chen Ran was feeling completely hopeless, Lin Qianqian's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
[Isn't Tang Yin the same person as Tang Bohu? His painting "Tiger Roaring in the Forest" has gone viral online.]
[But to be honest, this painting still expresses Tang Yin's state of mind. Tang Bohu was aloof and arrogant throughout his life, but his talent was not appreciated, and his later years were bleak. This painting also expresses his lonely situation.]
However, after this painting appeared in the public eye, it was imitated by many people, especially online, where it was spoofed into multiple versions, with the tiger in the painting being photoshopped into many different shapes.
Chen Ran looked at Lin Qianqian with gratitude. She came just in time.
She roughly recounted what she had heard, and Mrs. Ye nodded slightly after listening.
Chen Ran was right. It seemed that she had not misjudged the person. So the assessment would end here.
Then Mrs. Ye chatted about some family matters, and the two of them got along very well.
"This is my daughter, Lin Qianqian." Chen Ran introduced.
"Hello, Madam Ye." Lin Qianqian said politely.
Mrs. Ye took a look at the dress she was wearing. It was a modified Chinese-style elegant black long skirt with petal-shaped cuffs, highlighting the youthful and fashionable elements.
Mrs. Ye smiled and nodded as a polite greeting. The little girl had chosen a good dress and it seemed that she was a person with good taste.
She likes people with vision.
"Hello, Madam Ye." At this moment, a sweet female voice sounded, and Lin Xue walked over obediently. The corners of her mouth curved into just the right arc, making her smile sweet but not greasy.
Madam Ye frowned slightly, obviously very unfamiliar with Lin Xue.
"It seems I am being abrupt. Let me introduce myself. I am the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Xue."
Eldest daughter? Madam Ye's eyes flashed with an intriguing light. She looked at Chen Ran and asked, "Really?"
this......
Chen Ran hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yeah."
"There are many girls who greet me rashly. I can only ask clearly. Since Madam Lin said yes, then I believe what Madam Lin said."
Chen Ran was stunned. Why did Madam Ye have something else to say? It didn't seem like she was talking to him!
Madam Ye's eyes fell on Lin Xue's dress. At a glance, she saw the two emeralds inlaid on the collar. In an instant, there seemed to be a flash of swords and knives in her eyes.
It seems that the Lin family is not very smart, at least the eldest daughter is not!
Madam Ye retracted her stern gaze and turned to walk towards another group of people.
Chen Ran was stunned. Why did Madam Ye leave so suddenly? They hadn't even discussed business yet.
Lin Qianqian stood aside, pursed her lips, and started to complain in her heart.
[Oh no! Madam Ye left in anger. I'm afraid this deal won't work.]
Lin Xue is really good at this. She appeared in front of Madam Ye wearing a dress inlaid with emeralds. Madam Ye hates emeralds the most. Isn't this deliberately causing trouble for her?
[Tsk tsk tsk, I finally became the son of destiny and was chosen by Madam Ye, but I never thought that this opportunity would be gone just like that. I was hoping that the Lin family would become bigger and stronger and give me more money, but now there is no hope.]
After listening to Lin Qianqian's thoughts, Chen Ran suddenly turned to Lin Xue. The two emeralds on the dress deeply hurt her.
Didn't she already pull the emerald off? Why is it still on the dress?
"Xue'er, what's going on?"
Seeing the anger on Chen Ran's face, Lin Xue was shocked. She had never seen Chen Ran so angry since she was a child.
"I just... I just wanted to restore the integrity of the dress. I thought these two emeralds were pretty nice, so I added them to the dress."
"Mom, don't be angry. Xue'er knows she's wrong and won't act on her own again."
"Mom, please forgive me this time."
Lin Xue said aggrievedly, tears in her eyes, her little face slightly raised, as if trying to hold back her tears. People who didn't know would think she was the victim.
[Tsk tsk, she's acting pitiful again. She embedded the emeralds on purpose.]
Her goal was to shine in front of Madam Ye, get on Madam Ye's good side, and then kick the Lin family out of the water.
If she really gets close to the Ye family, then the Lin family will officially start to go downhill.
When Chen Ran heard Lin Qianqian's thoughts again, she was shocked. She didn't expect that Lin Xue would have such deep thoughts.
In the past, she always treated Lin Xue as a child. It seems that she was too naive.
"Lin Xue, you must give me a decent explanation for this matter. Stop using excuses like emeralds are beautiful." Chen Ran said angrily.
Lin Xue secretly clenched her fists. In the past, as long as she wiped her tears and said anything, Chen Ran would believe her. But now, why has Chen Ran become so difficult to fool?
It seems she needs to think of some comprehensive solutions.
The banquet was still going on. Before, the people around were envious of Chen Ran, but now when they saw Mrs. Ye suddenly turned around and left, they started to talk.
"You said everything was fine, why did Madam Ye suddenly leave?"
