586 Chapter 5
“Please be careful.”
Lady PEI supported the old lady as they entered the hall under Piech’s lead. The lights and curtains that had been turned off for the leopard commercial short film were pulled open again by Piech’s order because of the old lady’s appearance.
The old lady could not be touched on the spot, or else she would bring great trouble to Elysees.
When Mrs. Zhou came over, nie dan and the others had already arrived. Lady PEI was smiling as she greeted them.
“The old lady wanted to come out for a walk, so she came over.”
The staff from the Elysees opened up a path for them. Jiang SE’s short commercial that was supposed to be played was also delayed because of this brief interlude.
Under the half-opened curtains and the lights on the venue, the invited media and guests all saw this scene. In the back of the media seats, someone asked in a low voice, ”
“Who’s the late one?”
The people who arrived late were escorted by a large group of Elysees staff. Their backs were facing the media, and they could only vaguely see two women. One of them was old and had white hair. She was wearing a black cheongsam that matched her shawl very well. Her face could not be seen.
The people in the media seats began to discuss quietly. No one could answer the question raised by the person who spoke, but everyone could guess that the two people who arrived later were not ordinary.
The fact that Elysees had to delay leopard’s short commercial because of their arrival, disrupt the order of the scene, draw the curtains again, and even have the person in charge of the Asia Pacific region, Piech, personally welcome them showed that this person was no ordinary person.
Most importantly, even Mrs. Zhou from the famous Jingtai real estate rushed forward, which made the entertainment media reporters even more curious.
The reporter’s assistant from Longxing studio, who came with Tao Tao, asked in a low voice, ”
who’s the late one? brother Xiong, did you get a picture of his face? ”
She went to ask the photographer, who shook his head. Tao Tao’s heart sank when she saw Mrs. Zhou walk up to her.
Today’s situation was already disadvantageous to Jiang se. Now that another group of people who were familiar with Mrs. Zhou had arrived, she wondered how the press conference would end.
She was feeling uneasy, but after hearing the conversation between the assistant and the photographer, she suppressed her anxiety and stopped the photographer, who wanted to change direction.
“There’s no need to film.”
As soon as she said this, the photographer called ‘Brother Bear’ looked surprised. The young reporter couldn’t help but ask, ”
“Why?”
“Didn’t you guys notice?”
Everyone’s attention was on the person who had just entered. Only Tao Tao, who was a fan of Jiang SE’s, did not put much thought into guessing the identity of the person who had just entered. She pointed above her.
there are a few live cameras and Elysees’s photography team behind them. When they entered, Piech must have given the order for the cameras to not be aimed in this direction.
In other words, the two people who came in later had no intention of being exposed.
When Tao Tao said this, many people around her also realized this. Many of the photographers who were ready to change angles to shoot like brother Xiong suddenly looked at each other. Tao Tao frowned.
“In this case, even if you take a photo, you still have to delete it later.”
Some people in the back row noticed that there seemed to be more security guards outside. The scene Tao Tao described was very likely to happen.
While Tao Tao and the others were talking, lady PEI had already chatted with nie dan and the others and sat down in the center of the exhibition center.
“Ah Yi isn’t in the capital, so the old lady wants to buy it for him if there’s someone she likes.” When lady PEI was talking to nie dan, she noticed Mrs. Zhou, who had been following her step by step. She turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou had been waiting for this opportunity to strike up a conversation with her. She quickly bowed and smiled.
“Madam PEI, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
She recalled what she had heard earlier and suppressed the excitement in her heart.
“Are you also here to look at cars?”
Old lady PEI was wearing glasses. She adjusted her shawl before she sat down. When she saw Jiang se on the stage, she smiled in satisfaction.
When Mrs. Zhou spoke, she did not even turn her eyes. Nie dan had already leaned close to her ear and softly explained Mrs. Zhou’s identity to her.
To be honest, old lady PEI’s social circle was completely different from Mrs. Zhou’s. She was not interested in Mrs. Zhou’s background at all. However, because of Jiang se, she had heard of this person’s name a few times.
Even though he knew that she had expressed her opposition to Jiang se in public several times, she still looked down on Jiang se. Previously, at the airport in Italy, she had even tried to embarrass Jiang se in public.
However, old lady PEI’s upbringing made it very difficult for her to act so frivolously like Mrs. Zhou. She only treated her like air and let her eldest daughter-in-law send her away.
This group of people, each of them had an extraordinary status. Although there were two more chairs after they sat down, they did not have the right to sit on Mrs. Zhou.
She stood there and spoke with her back bent, but she didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
She noticed the surprised expressions of Mrs. Weng and the others in the distance, as if they were puzzled by her behavior. But if they knew who was sitting here, they might be even more excited than she was.
Recently, Jingtai real estate had been in some trouble. Some accidents had happened to the real estate in the Nandong province, and for some reason, the Nandong provincial government, which had always supported Jingtai real estate, had changed their attitude and showed signs of suppressing Jingtai. Zhou Wei was in a terrible fix, and Mrs. Zhou had bumped into lady PEI and her friends here. It was really a pillow when she was sleepy.
She had to display her own strengths and seize this opportunity to conquer lady PEI. In the future, if she could build a relationship with lady PEI, the benefits would naturally be extraordinary.
I’ve seen you once at Mr. Han shuangji’s wife’s birthday party. My husband’s family name is Zhou, and he is currently running Jingtai real estate. Mrs. Zhou’s smile was sincere, and lady PEI nodded her head. It was as if she did not see lady PEI’s cold attitude.
if you’re also here to look at cars, I happen to be very familiar with Elysees. If you don’t mind, I can introduce a few more models to you.
As she spoke, she noticed old lady PEI at the side. She saw that old lady PEI was looking at the stage without looking sideways, as if she did not notice that she was beside her and had no intention of turning around. She thought about what lady PEI had said earlier about ‘accompanying the old lady for a walk’. She didn’t know if this old lady was from her husband’s family or an elder from her maternal family.
I’ve always liked the cars of the Elysees family. The car Ambassador is also the female star Tao cen, who I really like. So, for the past ten years, I’ve bought almost every model of the Elysees family’s car.
Mrs. Zhou tried to use this topic to attract the attention of lady PEI and the others. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw lady PEI, who had been indifferent just a moment ago, turn her head.
“It’s the female star over there.”
She pointed in Tao cen’s direction and then glanced at Jiang se.
“It’s not the girl on the left,”
When Mrs. Zhou mentioned Jiang se, the natural disdain in her words caused lady PEI to frown. Inside the exhibition center, the curtains that had been pulled open were slowly lowered. The light dimmed, and Mrs. Zhou did not notice this.
“You don’t seem to like her?”
Lady PEI asked. When Mrs. Zhou heard her reply, her expression perked up.
...
“Her? I can only say that her temperament and taste are not compatible with the Elysees. It just lowers the Elysees “style.”
When she said this, nie dan stopped talking to the old lady and turned to stare at her in surprise.
Nie dan and the others had come to support Jiang se at the press conference for her new car. The appearance of old lady PEI and PEI Ziheng also represented the PEI family’s clear attitude toward their future granddaughter-in-law.
This Mrs. Zhou was still unaware of Jiang SE’s identity. She was already spouting nonsense in front of her future in-laws.
“Did you lower it?”
Nie Dan’s mouth twitched. He glanced at old lady PEI with a mischievous expression.
Xiang qiuji and the others saw his reaction and knew what he was thinking. He was most likely trying to embarrass Mrs. Zhou in front of old lady PEI.
Recently, Mrs. Zhou had been very active. Jing tai himself was already in a lot of trouble, but he didn’t think about solving the problem. He still had the time to care about this mess. It was really surprising.
“It’s indeed lowered.” Mrs. Zhou did not expect that her words would not only make lady PEI speak, but also nie dan turn around to speak. Her smile became even more earnest.
“You see, as soon as the two of them appeared today, it’s obvious who’s stronger. That little celebrity with the surname Jiang, from what I see, he’s dressed so ordinarily that he doesn’t bring out the value of the brand Elysees.”
She then continued, ”
...
“The Elysees invited her to be the spokesperson for their new car. Their slogan is” breakthrough, new era,”but she’s still far from that. She’s wearing pearl jewelry around her neck, which also makes her seem a little petty.”
“Small-minded?”
Old lady PEI couldn’t help but say,
“I think it’s pretty good.”
“Pearls are naturally good. But a big bead isn’t something she can suppress at her age and status. It’s just a small string like this, and she’s wearing a Yingluo in a nondescript manner.”
Mrs. Zhou laughed along, and old lady PEI’s tone was light.
some people have some misunderstandings about pearls. This Pearl isn’t big, but it’s from the Emperor Tang Coronas. It has a regular color and her skin is white. It’s perfect for her to wear.
Old lady PEI held her shawl and reached out as if she was dusting it.
“Moreover, I think she’s dressed very appropriately and can still meet people.”
Mrs. Zhou was a little confused. She had a vague feeling that the old lady was speaking up for Jiang se. However, when she thought about it carefully, she felt that this was not the case.
Even with her status, she did not think much of a celebrity like Jiang se. Should this old lady not be more arrogant and speak up for Jiang se?
The lights at the venue dimmed. Leopard’s commercial was already in the preparation stage. Piech glanced at Mrs. Zhou. Zhang Chaoyang stepped forward and smiled politely, asking Mrs. Zhou to return to her seat and not disturb the guests.
Mrs. Zhou also knew that if she forced herself to stay at this time, she might be hated by others. She was going to find a chance to come over after the advertisement was over.
Thus, after greeting lady PEI again, she took a deep breath, straightened her body, and returned to her seat.
Mrs. Weng and the others were already very curious about her previous actions. As soon as Mrs. Zhou returned, they hurriedly came over and asked about the identities of the two women from the PEI family.
Mrs. Zhou was a little uneasy, but she had been very excited about her conversation with lady PEI. Now that someone had asked, she did not hide anything and directly mentioned lady PEI in a low voice.
At this moment, all the lights in the venue had been turned off. Jiang se and Tao cen stepped off the stage in the middle of the stage. They were ready to make way for the audience so that they could see the advertisement on the screen more clearly and not be distracted.
Tao cen was helped off the stage by her assistant and returned to her VIP stand. When Xia Chaoqun came to help Jiang se, Piech was about to get someone to lead Jiang se to the other side to prevent her from sitting with Tao cen. To his surprise, Jiang se turned to Xia Chaoqun and whispered, ”
“Sister Chaoqun, I’m going to sit on the other side for a while.”
Since old Madam PEI and old Madam PEI were here, as a junior, she definitely had to go over and have a chat.
She didn’t notice that in the dark, there were still people being led by the staff to the center of the stage. After she finished speaking to Xia Chaoqun, Xia Chaoqun nodded his head. Piech watched in shock as Xia Chaoqun held her hand and walked towards the PEI family. He immediately became anxious.
“Jiang, you can’t.”
Punk quickly came to stop him.
Although Jiang se was one of the representatives of the Elysees and Garo was very satisfied with her, she could not afford to offend an important guest at this time.
Mrs. Zhou’s sudden appearance earlier had probably made the PEI family very unhappy. If these people were disturbed again and again during the exhibition of Elysees ‘car, it would be very troublesome for Elysees’ future development in China.
She had a good impression of Jiang se before this. She did not expect Xia Chaoqun to join her in this mess, let alone Jiang SE’s.
“Don’t worry, she’s a family.”
Xia Chaoqun could hear the anxiousness in Piech’s words and explained. Before Piech could understand what he meant, Jiang se was already walking toward old lady PEI and the others with her back bent in the dark.
There were two empty chairs there earlier, but old lady PEI did not ask anyone to move them away after she sat down. They must have been left for her.
When she walked over, the huge Elysees appeared on the screen behind her. The venue lit up a little, and only one of the two empty seats was left empty. Jiang SE’s eyes widened when she saw Feng Zhongliang, who had appeared unexpectedly. She let out a small cry of surprise.
“Grandpa, why are you here?”
Feng Zhongliang was there as well. When she arrived, Feng Zhongliang was talking to old lady PEI. When he heard Jiang SE’s voice, he looked up.
“I’m here to join in the fun. I didn’t expect to meet the old lady here.”
“Sese, come and sit down.”
Old Madam PEI was very fond of Jiang SE’s outfit today, which had been criticized by Mrs. Zhou to the point that she was completely useless. In her opinion, such a dignified and proper dress was really very tasteful. It brought out her own temperament. It was not obvious, but she had the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family.
She didn’t expect to see Feng Zhongliang at the venue today. This old man was also very low-key and didn’t like to join in the fun. He was too lazy to go out and show his face in the past few years.
After Feng Nan got engaged to someone else, he only paid a symbolic visit during the new year and festivals a few years ago, perhaps to avoid suspicion. He left very quickly, and it was only in the past two years that they started to see each other more.
Old lady PEI pursed her lips when she recalled how Jiang se had subconsciously addressed Feng Zhongliang as ‘Grandpa’.
