Chapter 48 Dance

  When he did this, Shi Hu Lin and his wife on the side were looking at him with a bit of irony. Liu Shijiang also looked at Ma Jiping with some disdain, curling up the corner of his mouth.

  "Director, sorry about that, I'm late." Mei Wenjie stood still and smiled, looking at Chen Xiru.

  "Captain Mei, I wouldn't have recognized you in that outfit." Chen Xiru said with a smile, waving his hand.

  At this time, his wife beside him was a bit jealous and looked at her husband sideways.

  "After all, you're a military man, and you've managed to get yourself into this state. What's the difference between you and those flashy women?" Madam Chen said with a hint of sarcasm as she looked at Madam Shi.

  The people around me all smiled and laughed.

  "Hey, Xiaoqiang, stand with Wenjie, it's more convenient for the two of you to talk together." Mrs. Chen said to Mei Wenjie.

  "Go on, go on," said Liang Rujie, and with that, he gave Liu Shijiang a push towards Mei Wenjie.

  Liu Shijiang looked at Liang Rujie in surprise and stopped talking after standing still.

  Mei Wenjie's heart was smiling sweetly. Mrs. Shi just smiled and looked down at them with her head lowered. But Cai Mengyao, who was standing beside Liang Rujie, had a slightly jealous look on her face.

  "Director, everyone is here." Ma Jiping smiled and reminded Chen Xiru.

  "Alright, I'll say it when the time comes." Chen Xiru said with a smile as he looked at everyone.

  As he spoke, he stepped onto the stage and said into the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed colleagues. First of all, please allow me to represent Jiangnan Bureau in wishing everyone a happy new year and a smooth journey ahead." As he spoke, he raised his wine glass slightly forward.

  Just as he stepped onto the stage, the flashbulbs of the reporters' cameras began flashing.

  His words had barely fallen when a warm applause broke out in the entire hall.

  "Before we knew it, a year has passed. Everyone hopes the war will end soon. We hope peace comes soon, but gentlemen, peace must be obtained through strength."

  Chen Xiru said this, and the entire hall immediately erupted in a warm applause again. He waved his hand, waiting for the applause to stop before continuing: "The fate of the country, the lives of its people are at stake. The survival or demise of our nation, the prosperity or decline of our ethnicity, the burden on our shoulders is still very heavy. At this moment, I hope that everyone will work together with sincerity and loyalty, never giving up. I believe that ultimately, victory will belong to us."

  He finished speaking loudly and passionately, and with a "good", the hall immediately erupted in another round of warm applause.

  "I propose a toast, for the party and the country, for Jiangnan, and for the future, let us drain this cup."

  Chen Xiru said as he raised the cup in his hand, tilted his head back and drained the wine in one gulp. Then, he raised the hand holding the wine cup again.

  Everyone on the scene also raised their cups in their hands, tilted their heads back and drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

  At this time, a melodious music sounded, and four pairs of men and women began to dance with the music.

  Ma Ji Ping walked over from Liu Shi Qiang's side, gently bumped him with his arm and smiled slyly: "Brother, you've seen Miss Wen Jie, right? In the past, her military uniform made her look inconspicuous. Look at her today, dressed up. Slender waist like a willow tree, shiny hair like a bright disk. What a sight, really great!" Ma Ji Ping looked over at Mei Wen Jie who was standing elegantly on one side and let out a sly laugh.

  Liu Shijiang, however, was lowering his head, using one finger to rub his forehead and smiling. After a while, he turned his head around and smiled at him, saying: "Ma Ge, I'd say your aesthetic sense is quite suffocating."

  "Oh? What's wrong?" Ma Ji Ping asked Liu Shi Qiang with great puzzlement.

  "Look at her red face, two red buttocks, like a monkey's butt, is this what makeup looks like? Those country girls aren't even as red as him." Liu Shijiang said with ridicule.

  And just as they were talking, Meiwentie was standing there with his head held high, looking rather proud of himself.

  "You're too picky, that's called simplicity." Maji Ping said with a frown, clearly discontent.

  "Yeah, stupid enough." Liu Shijiang said with a heh-heh laugh.

  Ma Ji Ping lightly bumped Liu Shi Qiang's shoulder with his own and walked over to Mei Wen Jie. He looked at him and said, "Sister, have a drink with me."

  As he spoke, he proactively raised his cup and clinked it with Mai Wenjie's. Mai Wenjie somewhat reluctantly lightly touched the rim of Maji Ping's cup and took a small sip.

  "Hey hey hey, you're really stunning today, ah." Maji Ping said with a nauseatingly flirtatious smile as he looked at Mei Wenjie.

  As he spoke, he clinked his glass against Mewtwo's with a "clink".

  On the other side, Liu Shijiang just smiled lightly and turned his body around.

  "This fabric, these clothes really suit you." Maji Ping said, one hand moving around her body as if wanting to touch Meiweng Jie's skin but not daring to.

  This is truly having the courage of a thief but not daring to have the hands of a thief.

  His every move is really contemptible.

  "Sister, where was this dress made?" Ma Jiping asked with a smile.

  When Ma Ji Ping asked the question, Mei Wen Jie's eyes involuntarily flashed back to the scene of him sitting on a chair in the clothing store earlier.

  Liu Shijiang measured his own body while saying to the old boss, "Use that expensive material from Malaysia you mentioned earlier and make her a set."

  At this time, Mo Wenjie, who was sitting on one side reading the newspaper, heard it and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

  Thinking of this, Mei Wenjie smiled slightly and looked at Liu Shijiang, saying: "Ask him." Then he stood there with a wine cup in his hand as if nothing had happened.

  But at this time, listening to Maji Ping's words, his heart was truly enjoyable and sweet.

  Ma Ji Ping listened and turned around, came to Liu Shi Qiang's side, smiled and looked at Liu Shi Qiang and asked: "Brother, what's going on?"

  Liu Shijiang looked at him and smiled, saying: "Secret."

  Ma Ji Ping smiled and came back to Mei Wen Jie's side, looking at her. When Mei Wen Jie wasn't paying attention, he stretched out his hand and lightly clinked his wine cup against hers.

  At this time, the ballroom music sounded again, and several pairs of young men and women began to dance. Everyone was watching them dance.

  Crackling and popping sounds, another round of applause erupted from the scene.

  "Xiaoqiang, you and Mengyao are experts, give everyone a show, help to liven things up." Chen Xiru turned around and said to Liu Shiqiang.

  "Alright." Liu Shijiang replied.

  Cai Mengyao on one side heard this, glanced at Liu Shijiang and smiled slightly.

  But Liang Rujie beside her was a bit unnatural.

  Then, Chen Xiru waved his hand and came to the side of the stage, laughing and saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, next we invite Xiaoqiang and Mengyao to perform a song for everyone, welcome."

  He turned his body and looked at everyone with a smile.

  "Good, good, good." Along with a burst of warm applause, another round of welcoming applause immediately erupted.

  The music started again, and Liu Shijiang slowly walked to Cai Mengyao's side. With a polite gesture, he extended one hand in an inviting pose. As Liu Shijiang made this inviting gesture, Cai Mengyao smiled and handed the clutch she was holding to Liang Rujie.

  Then, she also stretched out her slender jade arm and placed one of her jade hands on top of Liu Shijiang's palm.

  Then, Liu Shijiang turned around, slightly separated his right arm, Cai Mengyao stretched out her left hand, gently hooked Liu Shijiang's right arm. The two smiled and walked lightly towards the dance floor.

  Then, with the music, they made a gesture of respect to each other and started dancing gracefully.

  At this time, Liang Rujie's originally smiling face turned gloomy. He furrowed his brow, put the handbag on the table, picked up a flower and slowly plucked its petals one by one.

  At this time, Maji Ping smiled and came to Mei Wenjie's side, laughing and saying: "Sister, look at Shi Qiang and Cai Miss. Tsk tsk, they're quite a match."

  He said with a deliberate tsking sound several times.

  The implication contained in his tone of voice can be understood by others as soon as they hear it.

  At this time, Chen Xiru and his wife, as well as the crowd in the venue, were all intently watching Liu Shiqiang and Cai Mengyao's dance. Meanwhile, Mrs. Chen was still turning her eyes to look at her old husband beside her.

  "Sister, I invite you to dance." Maji Ping said to Xiao Ze as he looked at Mei Wenjie with his body leaning forward. As he spoke, he turned sideways and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.

  Mrs. Chen on one side looked at him and just smiled silently.

  Mei Wenjie glanced at him, raised the quilt in his hand, tilted his neck and started drinking. Then he turned his head to glance sideways with an air of indifference.

  Ma Ji Ping was bored and had no choice but to pretend to turn around and watch Cai Meng Yao and Liu Shi Qiang dancing in the ballroom.

  At this moment, Liu Shijiang and Cai Mengyao's dance had also reached a high level. As they spun rapidly to the music, it was almost impossible to tell who was Liu Shijiang and who was Cai Mengyao.

  At this time, another round of applause erupted from the scene.

  At this time, Liang Rujie, who was also pulling the petals on one side, had already pulled off all the petals of a flower. On the other side, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.

  Mrs. Shi was also looking at Ma Ji Ping with her head tilted, a mocking smile on her face.

  "Sister, don't drink like that, this is wine, not water. Ah, sister. Otherwise, I'll invite you to dance?"

  Ma Ji Ping was praising Mei Wenjie's good deeds, but Mei Wenjie just ignored him. Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Shi on the side couldn't help but glance at him, secretly smiling. After watching, Mrs. Chen even shook her head.

  Ma Ji Ping couldn't get a good deal from Mei Wen Jie, so he scratched his head and came to Shi Lao Ban's side.

  At this time, the music ended. Liu Shijiang and Cai Mengyao's dance had come to an end, and after a graceful bow, they once again held hands and returned to Chen Xiru's side.
