Chapter 22

Under the colorful light of the magic ball, the man’s handsome eyebrows and eyes are dazzling.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and Bai Yan subconsciously dodged backwards.

“Don’t move.” Meng Hechuan held her and raised his hand to take off the sequins on her head.

Bai Yan was slightly distracted, “You have, uh, sequins in your hair too.”

Meng Hechuan shook it off, but it didn’t come off.

Bai Yan also reached out and took it for him.

“Thanks.”

She couldn’t take her eyes off the curve of his lips, and even forgot to continue singing the lyrics.

Damn it, I’m most afraid of the villain using his beauty to trap me!

Meng Hechuan gently bumped her arm, looked at her, and said in a pleasant voice, “Don’t be stunned.”

Bai Yan was secretly annoyed and quickly turned her head away, no longer looking at him.

When the song ended, Bai Yan and Su Lin, along with several other members who were playing musical instruments, bowed to the audience.

There was thunderous applause.

Xu Qingqing, who originally wanted to wait to see a joke, became the joke instead.

With Bai Yan’s song as a shining pearl behind it, Xu Qingqing’s stage play just now seemed even more bland.

The dance troupe of the cultural and art troupe, which should have been the center of attention at every reception or welcome party, was reduced to just passers-by this time.

Seeing that the welcome party was so successful tonight, several older leaders told the monitors of each class not to have too much fun and then left first, allowing the young people to have more fun.

Now that the leaders have left, everyone is more relaxed.

Bai Yan, Su Lin and others were surrounded by people, and everyone urged them to play again.

Wei Wei also urged, “President Hu said that you have an idiom called ‘still wanting more’. We are still wanting more! How about this, let’s all dance together!”

He spotted the piano in the corner with his sharp eyes and volunteered to play it. “Just now we were listening to the performances of the team members. Now it’s time for our teachers from Jingzhou University to show off their talents!”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the piano began.

Different from the folk music instruments just now, the piano sounds melodious.

A most common waltz tune that attracts people’s ears.

Bai Yan suddenly realized that the 1980s was an open era, when the ban on dancing was just lifted and young people in the society had already smelled the scent of physical liberation.

This is a rare opportunity, and even the leader has tacitly allowed the young people to have fun to their heart’s content today.

To the sound of the piano, men and women formed teams one after another.

“Comrade Xiaobai, are you going to dance?” Su Lin was led by the shaved boy and walked past Bai Yan with brisk steps. “Are you coming with Chief Engineer Meng?”

Bai Yan waved her hands repeatedly.

She didn’t want Meng Hechuan to misunderstand her again and think that she had other intentions.

Just as he was trying to find an excuse to escape from the center of the stage, a pair of bony hands suddenly stretched out from under Bai Yan’s eyes.

She looked up along the direction of his hand and saw that it was indeed Meng Hechuan.

His pupils were dark, a very pure color, and only Bai Yan’s shadow was reflected in them. “It’s a coincidence that I see you. Let’s dance with you.”

Bai Yan opened her mouth slightly, her face full of strange colors.

Am I seeing that?

This cold and aloof Mr. Meng would actually take the initiative to invite me to dance?

Bai Yan naturally still remembered the creed of not having too much contact with Meng Hechuan, and almost subconsciously refused, “I don’t dance.”

She turned her head left and right, helping Meng Hechuan search for a dance partner in the crowd, “I see several girls want to dance with you, why don’t you just pick one? Forget it, I can’t dance.”

Don’t be ridiculous, she was already conspicuous enough just now.

If she pulled the team’s chief engineer Meng to dance with her now, wouldn’t she be shot to pieces by Xu Qingqing’s eyes?

As if to confirm her thoughts, Xu Qingqing followed closely behind her.

Next to her was a fat man with a greasy face.

Bai Yan took a quick look and saw that the fat man was not wearing a uniform.

He shouldn’t be a member of the team.

“Bai Yan, you can really sing. I was wrong about you.” Xu Qingqing snorted from her nose, clearly showing that she was not convinced.

Bai Yan didn’t want to get into any more trouble, so she planned to leave Xu Qingqing to Meng Hechuan who was still standing nearby.

“Wait a minute!” Xu Qingqing stretched out her hand to stop her. “This is my cousin, Wang Gang. He’s in the hardware business and has connections with our brigade. His family is very rich. He really likes the song you sang just now. Let’s be friends, shall we?”

Of course, Xu Qingqing had just seen the scene of Bai Yan and Meng Hechuan standing side by side on the stage, and she was so angry that her teeth were itching.

But with so many people present, it was difficult to get angry.

Just as she was grinding her teeth, her cousin who was doing business in the brigade came over to her side and asked with gritted teeth: “Qingqing, when did such a fairy come to your brigade? Why didn’t your uncle introduce such a fairy to me?”

Wang Gang is 32 years old this year and looks fat and big-eared.

With the help of Captain Xu’s relationship, his family set up a screw factory, which usually provided parts for the brigade’s aircraft research and development.

Everything went smoothly along the way and he became a small factory owner.

Once you have money in your pocket, it’s easy to become arrogant.

When it comes to choosing a wife, an important event in life, he has very high standards.

He thought that ordinary rouge and powder were not worthy of his status as Mr. Wang.

A gleam of light flashed in Xu Qingqing’s eyes, and she directly pulled Wang Gang to Bai Yan’s side.

“It just so happens that Teacher Wei is playing the piano and everyone is dancing. Why don’t you two dance together?”

Xu Qingqing deliberately walked to Meng Hechuan’s side and showed him a different face, “Hechuan, you’ve met my cousin Wang Gang. He seems to want to get to know Bai Yan. Let’s go. Let’s not disturb them.”

She didn’t care whether Meng Hechuan was willing or not, she pushed him and left, “You went south for a long time, I haven’t seen you for a long time, do you want to dance?”

My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!

Bai Yan knew everything in her heart, and she sneered repeatedly.

But she believed that less trouble is worse than more trouble and was too lazy to respond to low-level female competitors like Xu Qingqing.

Wang Gang looked at Bai Yan with malicious eyes.

From her pretty face to her snow-white neck, only the hada was missing.

“Is your name Bai Yan? Are you from Jingzhou? How old are you? Who are your family members?”

Seeing that there were only two of them around, he used the excuse that the music was too loud and approached Bai Yan with ill intentions, “I’m Xu Qingqing’s cousin. My family owns a factory and we’re very rich.”

Bai Yan rolled her eyes in her heart and didn’t even bother to say hello to him. She wanted to just turn around and leave.

“Hey, wait a minute!” Although Wang Gang is conceited, he is still very patient with beautiful women. He walked around to Bai Yan with his big belly shaking, and said, “I think we are a good match. How about we make friends first and get to know each other better?”

“Let’s make friends, the two of us?” Bai Yan hated being pestered by others. Her temper was aroused. She stood still and crossed her arms over her chest. “Do you think it’s appropriate?”

“It’s suitable! Tell me, why is it not suitable? You are pretty and I have money, so it’s perfect for me!”

Bai Yan sneered, “We are of different genders, so it’s not suitable.”

“You…” Wang Gang’s face was full of doubt, “You can’t be…”

Suddenly there was a laugh behind him, and Tan He walked over.

He was tall and had long legs, and he blocked Bai Yan’s way intentionally or unintentionally, “Boss Wang.”

Although Wang Gang claims to be a private entrepreneur, his family’s factory is at best just a small workshop in Dabei Kiln.

Normally, they rely on the power of Captain Xu to get by as ordinary people outside, but when they meet real private entrepreneurs like the Tan family, their true colors are exposed.

When Wang Gang first heard the overseas Chinese prince of the Tan family address him like this, he couldn’t tell whether he was being polite or sarcastic, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

“It’s Mr. Tan, hello, hello, do you still remember my name?”

Wang Gang stretched out his hand for a long time but got no response from Tan Hean, so he had to withdraw his hand awkwardly, looking back and forth between Bai Yan and Tan Hean’s faces.

Tan Hean knew that the man in front of him was not smart, but he didn’t expect him to be so stupid that he didn’t even have this much foresight.

His eyes fell lightly on Bai Yan.

Only then did Wang Gang react.

He glanced at Bai Yan unwillingly. Although he was reluctant to give up the beauty, he could not afford to offend Chief Engineer Tan in front of him.

“You guys chat first, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do!”

As soon as Wang Gang left, Bai Yan’s voice came out, “Thank you for your help, Chief Engineer Tan, I also have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”

“Wait a moment.”
