Chapter 22: Cocktail party

When I returned to Han Li's apartment in the middle of the week, I just heard Han Li making a call.

"Well, Mom, I know, I will go over there tomorrow."

It turned out that Han Li would go to her mother tomorrow to discuss countermeasures. It was good. After all, there were more people and more ways to do it. Seeing that Zhou Zhong had come in, Han Li happened to finish the phone call, so she came up in a hurry to ask.

"Where have you been? I waited for you all night, and asked me to wait at home without saying anything. I didn't answer the phone. I'm still afraid that something will happen to you."

Although Han Li restrained, the voice of blame and worry was clearly heard in her tone.

Zhou Zhong felt that it was also said that she went too hurriedly and did not tell Han Li what she was going to do. It is normal for her to have a little temper. After all, she was originally wrong. Now what he has to do is to explain like Han Li, Zheng Didn’t Dong publish that good article?

"That...I...I just went to Zheng Dong..."

"Zheng Dong? Is that the reporter? How about, is there any news? Where is the newspaper? Show me."

Han Li's eyes seemed to burst with hope, pulling Zhou Zhong's sleeve and searching in his hand to see if he had brought the newspaper back.

Naturally, there were no newspapers, but in the middle of the week, when I saw Han Li in such a hurry, I didn't know how to tell her, so I was silent, looked at Han Li, and told her with eyes that there was no newspaper, so stop looking.

When Han Li saw the expression of Mid-Zhou, she understood everything. She suddenly felt lost and walked away silently.

"No, no, forget it, I'll think of another way."

In the middle of the week, she didn't want Han Li to be so immersed in her grief, and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, you just called, is there something wrong?"

Han Li just remembered what she had just called.

"Well, by the way, I'm going to my mother's side tomorrow, you are in my apartment."

After thinking about it in the middle of the week, it's fine, as long as Han Li can walk out of the shadows, and staying with her family is much happier than living alone in this small apartment. He nodded and agreed.

In fact, the Zhou Center is more anxious than anyone else, not only because Zheng Dong said the good published article has not been honored, but also he doesn’t even know where Han Li’s father, Deputy Mayor Han, was taken, and now even the reporter’s clues. It was all broken, and there was no way to start.

Han Li hurried back home early the next morning and saw her cousin Lin Lu as soon as she walked in. The two sisters grew up together, and their feelings are the same as their sisters.

Lin Lu knew that her cousin must be very depressed, she didn't say anything, and gave her a hug when she came up, and she said nothing.

At this time, Han Li saw her mother sitting on the sofa silently weeping, she felt distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the tissue.

"Mom, why are you crying again."

Han Li's mother took the paper and said sadly: "Everyone who can be found has been found. No one knows where your dad is now. Those who are usually well-connected do not dare to take this muddy water. You said, Mom can't push people on the road to save your father..."

A frustration flashed in Han Li's eyes, knowing that her mother must have called those people again at home.

At this time Lin Lu spoke: "Auntie, don't worry, I have already found a few business partners of my dad, some of them have a relationship with the government. They are not very close to my uncle, and they are not afraid of any influence. They agreed. Help find it, don't worry."

Han Li hesitated for a moment and said to her mother: "Mom, there is a reception in the Riverside Hotel tonight. There are many people who can attend. They are hiding from us on the phone, and they won't hide again when they meet. Right? I'll go to the cocktail party to see it at night."

"Cousin, let me accompany you." Lin Lu said immediately.

This kind of reception is attended by people from the upper class, and the city’s reputable officials and businessmen will participate. It is indeed a good opportunity. It is said that people are in love with each other. They can reject Han Li decisively on the phone, but if they really meet, they would be more tactful if they want to refuse, right? Maybe what else could be found out, no matter what, Han Li couldn't let go of this opportunity.

But there is one thing. Now that these people are hiding from Han Li, Han Li will inevitably be aggrieved. She is the daughter of a dignified deputy mayor who has been surrounded by people since she was a child, but now she wants to ask for help in a low voice. Therefore, Lin Lu said immediately that she would go with her. She could not let her cousin be wronged alone.

However, Han Li shook her head and said to Lin Lu, "Lulu, you should stay with my mother at home. It's useless if there are too many people. Don't worry, I'm well-measured and nothing will happen."

"Mom, go with you, too." Han Li's mother stood up excitedly and said.

Han Li gave a wry smile, sat down on her mother's shoulders, and softly comforted her: "Mom, just wait at home. Don't worry, I will be fine."

Han Li's mother wanted to say something, but Lin Lu understood her cousin's intentions, and sat down and put her arms around her aunt's arm and said, "Auntie, let's wait for the cousin at home. The cousin must be fine."

The two sisters looked at each other and both understood each other's intentions.

After settling her mother's lunch break, Han Li greeted the servant, took the car and returned to the apartment.

Seeing Han Li came back in the middle of the week and seemed to be in a good mood, I asked her if her father's affairs had settled.

Han Li said that it might be better if relatives are willing to help, but she didn't mention anything about attending the dinner party.

In the middle of the week, Han Li asked if she wanted dinner. Han Li kept faltering, as if deliberately avoiding something. After a while, she said that she was not hungry. There was a date in the evening and she planned to eat with that person. After returning to the room, she changed a few minutes later. The beautiful evening dress came out.

The gorgeous dress was radiant and colorful, with pearl coral earrings, and the more matching Han Lifu Bai Shengxue made mid-week stunned.

Han Li told me that she might come to the party for a while in the middle of the week, let her eat in the middle of the week, and then left.

I felt something wrong in the middle of the week. Whoever I was dating and had to dress like this? I felt something was wrong in the middle of the week. I took my coat and followed it out. I kept a short distance to ensure I could see Han Li. Han Li didn't find herself.

Han Li called a car and galloped away.

The car behind was stopped in midweek.

"Master, follow the one ahead!"

Han Li's car stopped in front of a five-star hotel, then got off and walked into the hotel. In the middle of the week, he hurriedly paid to get off the car, and followed Han Li and sneaked in.

It is worthy of being a five-star hotel. I have never been here in the middle of the week. The decoration is magnificent and the atmosphere is special. Walking inside in the middle of the week is like a clown.

But fortunately, there are people coming and going in this hotel, and no one pays much attention to him.

After Han Li entered the hotel, she went directly to the elevator, and hurried to the elevator in the middle of the week, watching the elevator stop until the 25th floor, which was already the top floor.

In the middle of the week, he didn't dare to neglect, and he quickly went to the 25th floor by the elevator on the side. After the elevator door opened, Zhong Zhou was suddenly dumbfounded.

The first thing that catches the eye is the crystal lamp hanging on the roof. The roof is very high. The crystal lamp is at least four or five meters high. It hangs down like that. It shines brightly, emitting a dazzling golden light, and it can’t be opened in the middle of the week. Eyes, the hall is surrounded by the second and third floors, surrounded by crystal lamps, there is only a row of railings, and the side of the railings are full of people who lean on the railing and look into the distance.

In the middle of the week, I saw people coming and going. The waiters were wearing neat suits and bow ties. They moved freely among the crowd with their plates. The plates were all I had never seen before. Food, red, green, different colors.

All people are wearing formal dresses, whether women or men, they are full of a quiet, easy-going, noble and glamorous temperament, but only in casual casual clothes in the middle of the week, he looks at his pants, they are still a pair The washed, faded jeans were incompatible with the atmosphere in the hall.

In front of the elevator, there were four well-dressed waiters, four men, four women, and eight waiters.

"Hello sir, this is a private reception, do you have an invitation?"

In the middle of the week, he glanced into the hall, and Han Li had already walked in at this time. She was born beautiful and only dressed a little at home, and compared the other carefully prepared women here.

Han Li stepped forward, revealing looming long legs, beautiful as if she was walking out of a painting. Without a word, she silently walked to a waiter, ordered a glass of red wine, and sat down.

Undoubtedly, everyone was attracted by Han Li's charm. Some men even forgot the wine glass in their hands because they looked at Han Li. Unknowingly, the glass was tilted and spilled all over the body in a panic. Others were so busy watching Han Li and forgetting the female companion next to him, which made the other person very angry, put down the cup and left, and then quickly pulled the apology.

Seeing these all in the middle of the week, I can't help but feel a little funny. It turns out that the so-called high society is nothing more than this.

At this time, the waiter spoke again, and his voice was obviously serious.

k“#{

"Sir, if there is no invitation, please leave here."

In the middle of the week, he had no choice but to return to the elevator, but instead of going to the first floor, he reached the 24th floor.

This time the elevator door opened and it was no longer a banquet hall. It was just a corridor with rooms on both sides. Seeing that there was no one in the middle of the week, I hurried to the window and opened the window to look out.

Fortunately, it was already night, this was the 24th floor again, and it was impossible for anyone outside to pay attention to him. So he repeated his old tricks in the middle of the week, carefully crawling out of the window, and then climbing to the top floor along the shelf outside the building.

Not to mention this big night, the breeze blows, it really scares the middle of the week, if it accidentally falls, it will directly fall into a meatloaf. However, in the middle of the week, Yigao people are bold and have the experience of the last time, so they can easily climb up.

What makes mid-week even more happy is that there is a huge rooftop on the 25th floor, which is exactly the same as the banquet hall. If it is put on normal days, many people would go to the rooftop to let in the wind, but the wind was relatively strong tonight, so no one came out in the banquet hall, so in the middle of the week, they lurked in front of the huge glass door, looking for Han Li's figure inside.
