Chapter 588
588 Mount Tai
This short film, which was supposed to be exciting and exciting in the eyes of sports car enthusiasts, seemed to pass like a year to Mrs. Zhou.
Many people wished that they had had enough of these two minutes, but she felt that it had been half a day.
She saw an old lady and an extra Old man sitting beside lady PEI. There was an empty chair, and Jiang se was sitting on it.
“How is this possible?”
Mrs. Zhou’s hot blood was immediately cooled down, as if someone had poured a plate of cold water on her head.
Earlier, when there were two empty seats beside lady PEI, she was not invited to sit down when she went over to greet her. What right did Jiang se have to sit next to her?
“Did the Elysees not arrange a seat for her?”
As she mumbled to herself, Mrs. Weng, who was beside her, also noticed that something was wrong.
“Isn’t that uncle Liang from Hong Kong’s Zhongnan industries?” She pointed at Feng Zhongliang and was very surprised, ”
“Why is he here?”
The Feng family was already well-known in Hong Kong, and Zhongnan industries was also very famous. In addition, they had a cooperative relationship with the Jianghua group in recent years. The industry insiders were quite optimistic about the cooperation projects between the two sides. It was expected that the leisure Resort Hotel that the two sides cooperated with would be officially put into use in two years. By then, the stock situation of both sides would be very good.
However, in contrast to Zhongnan industry’s popularity, its founder, Feng Zhongliang, kept an unusually low profile.
He had put almost all of his focus on his career. Apart from holding the real decision-making power of Zhongnan industries, he no longer appeared in public most of the time.
What was so special about an Elysees press conference? not only were the young masters in the circle all lined up, lady PEI had also brought her family’s elders, and even Feng Zhongliang had come and sat in the front row.
Mrs. Zhou felt uneasy. She tried to guess the reason why Jiang se was sitting next to lady PEI. Was it because the organizer had not arranged for her to do her job properly, or was there some other connection?
After the commercial, it was time for Piech to give his speech.
This short commercial between Jiang se and leopard had a profound meaning to it. The generation gap between the father and daughter, as well as the difference between the leopard series and the Elysees brand, had perfectly pointed out the problem.
In just two minutes, Jiang SE’s intention to ” grow and improve ” in leopard was very obvious. During the one-minute gallop, she focused on leopard’s speed and performance. She wanted to prove to the audience that leopard was not just about its appearance. This was also very in tune with Jiang SE’s stunning appearance and powerful aura when she first appeared.
However, what was worth thinking about was how his father, who was driving the Elysees, chose to let go. The last two cars, which represented different times and different ideas, left in two different directions, from a black-and-white classic to a vivid and rich world of colors. This also meant that the so-called ‘father’ of the leopard supercar was moving towards independence and growth.
It could be said that this advertisement by Elysees had answered the questions of every Chinese netizen in recent times in this meaningful advertisement.
Tolerance, understanding, growth, and letting go all represented that the era where Tao cen controlled the Elysees was over.
At this moment, at the back of the media seats, even though many reporters had a preconceived notion and thought that Tao cen and Elysees were inseparable before they saw the advertisement, they could not help but think deeply after seeing it.
When Elysees was seeking innovation and a breakthrough, and when the Father of the classic Elysees car in the advertisement turned around and left, no longer chasing after it, many reporters had the same question in their hearts. Would Tao cen be willing to let go so easily?
After the short commercial finished playing, Tao Tao heaved a long sigh of relief. She noticed that many people in the media seats had changed their expressions.
Anyone who had watched the commercial video could not deny the chemistry between Jiang se and leopard.
At this moment, many people felt sorry for Tao cen. She might be the most embarrassed person in this commercial. Many people had already vaguely associated her with the male image of driving the classic Elysees. She represented the glorious era of Elysees in the previous season. However, the glory of Elysees in the next season obviously had to be passed on to someone else to continue and develop.
It was easy for people to link this situation to Tao cen’s current status in the entertainment industry. She was already a top female celebrity in China. She was very famous and her popularity with the Chinese audience was quite strong.
“Isn’t tao cen and Qianqian nearly 40 years old?”
In the reporter’s seat, someone suddenly asked this question.
Tao cen was indeed not young anymore. It was just that she had too many halos and a strong aura in the past. When people first saw her, their first reaction was to ignore her age and focus on other points about her.
At this moment, a short advertisement suddenly reminded people of her age. Indeed, she no longer had an obvious advantage.
The reporters were silent. Even if they were professional celebrity gossip writers, they could not bear to mention Tao cen’s age.
Her career was still developing very well, and she was no longer at the peak of her career. In the past, she had been on the altar for too long, and there were no other female celebrities in China who could compare to her. Everyone’s attention was always on her works and the various halos on her.
However, now that Jiang se was around and had achievements that were enough to catch up to Tao cen or even stand shoulder to shoulder with her, the ‘legend’ that Tao cen’s name represented would naturally be weaker.
The people around them all had complicated thoughts. Some were listening seriously, some cast sympathetic looks at Tao cen, some were guessing the identity of lady PEI and her group, and some, like Mrs. Zhou, were feeling uneasy, as if their hearts were on fire.
In the middle of the stage, Piech was introducing the official Leopard series launched by the Elysees group.
Lady PEI’s every move was being watched by Mrs. Zhou, and this made her frown.
While Pieh was still talking, lady PEI’s phone suddenly rang. She took it out and glanced at it. Her movement was immediately noticed by Pieh, Mrs. Zhou, and the others, who were constantly distracted.
When Jiang se came over to sit down, Piech was still afraid that the PEI family would fall out with her. To her surprise, the PEI family did not react at all. She heaved a sigh of relief.
Lady PEI’s action of looking at her phone made Piech wonder if he had spoken for too long and had made her impatient.
This thought churned in her mind. She even wondered if lady PEI’s action of looking at her phone had something to do with Jiang se. The next moment, she realized that she had been overthinking things. After lady PEI looked at her phone, she smiled.
“Yi sent me a message.”
She held her phone and leaned close to old lady PEI’s ear, whispering,
“He also saw Sese’s advertisement.”
At the mention of her grandson, old lady PEI could not help but smile. She held her phone.
“I’ll give him a call. Ah dan and the others seemed to have told him that we were coming.”
Old lady PEI nodded slightly, and lady PEI stood up.
Mrs. Zhou had been watching her every move. She saw her get up and walk to the corner. After she left the venue, the security guards outside seemed to have noticed the strange movements here and silently changed their positions. Mrs. Zhou hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, held her bag, and slowly stood up.
The people at the scene were all smart people. How could they not see Mrs. Zhou’s actions?
In fact, there were a few people who wanted to follow, but Mrs. Weng stood up and hesitated.
She wasn’t like Mrs. Zhou, who had never met lady PEI before. Her husband’s company wasn’t prominent, and it couldn’t be compared to the Zhou family’s real estate. In a situation where the status of both parties was unequal, rashly stepping forward might only make people annoyed.
If Mrs. Zhou could get close to lady PEI, they might have a chance to get to know each other in the future. They could play mahjong together and build up their relationship.
With this thought, she sat down again.
Lady PEI found a quiet corner and called her son. She asked him about his situation in the Western nine states. The mother and son chatted for a while. PEI Yi was clearly pleased with his mother and grandmother’s show of support for Jiang se. His words were very sweet, and lady PEI beamed with joy.
come back whenever you’re on vacation. Your grandma said she’ll be coming today to see your car.
She spoke happily, and her gaze fell on the floor-to-ceiling glass in front of her. Unexpectedly, she noticed a figure standing not far away through the reflection of the glass. The smile on lady PEI’s face slowly faded.
alright, I’m done talking to you. I’ll call you after I’ve booked the car tonight. Take care of yourself. It’s getting cold these days. Remember to wear more clothes. Take care of your health no matter how busy you are with work. Don’t forget to eat when you’re busy.
After she hung up the phone, she saw Mrs. Zhou holding her bag and walking over from the direction of the bathroom.
“What a coincidence to meet you here.”
Mrs. Zhou’s face was full of surprise. She raised her head, as if she had inadvertently seen lady PEI. She first stopped in her tracks, then quickly ran over.
She definitely didn’t know how bad her performance was at this time. Lady PEI was interrupted talking to her son, and she couldn’t even show a perfunctory smile. She only nodded, turned around, and was about to enter the venue again with her phone in hand. Mrs. Zhou followed closely at her side.
“I really didn’t expect to meet you again and again today.”
Lady PEI nodded.
“I’m accompanying the old lady at home to take a walk and take a look.”
Mrs. Zhou’s expression brightened when she heard Jiang SE’s words. She then realized that she had gone overboard earlier. When she saw Jiang se sitting beside her, she began to think of a lot of things.
If Jiang se was really acquainted with the PEI family, her background would have spread far and wide in the industry. She would not have allowed so many netizens to curse at her. Even though Tao cen’s fans had been attacking her on her social media accounts for the past six months, she had not shown up.
“That’s really a coincidence. Today’s occasion is very lively.” As the two of them spoke, lady PEI had already returned to the venue. Mrs. Zhou was still at her side.
I’ve been buying cars from the Elysees for many years, and there are a few that are quite comfortable to sit in.
“There’s no need for that.” When lady PEI heard her words, she refused without batting an eyelid.
“We’re here today to see the new car that Elysees just released.”
“Leopard? I saw the commercial just now too. Although it looks good, it’s still a little lacking compared to the classic Elysees.”
Leopard’s sports car should be expensive, but as the classic model that Elysees had been promoting, its price and grade were not inferior to sports cars. After Mrs. Zhou had said this, lady PEI took a deep breath and stopped walking.
“What’s leopard lacking?”
Although she was still smiling, her gaze was slightly heavy, and there was an unspeakable sternness and Majesty in it. It made Mrs. Zhou feel a little flustered. She was stunned for a moment, and realized that lady PEI had not left. Instead, she was looking straight at her, as if waiting for her answer. She subconsciously said,
“Leopard is good, but it’s new and not very famous. Moreover, Jiang SE’s the spokesperson. In comparison, the classic model of the Elysees is the most well-tested car in the ten years that their family has been in China.” At the same time, it was also the first choice for the rich. Generally speaking, people with some taste and money would choose the one recommended by Mrs. Zhou without exception. Mrs. Zhou squeezed out a smile.
“If the old lady likes it, likes it, and feels comfortable after a test, I’ll have someone send it to your house later.”
Her words made lady PEI stare at her for a long time, making Mrs. Zhou’s hair stand on end.
“You have some taste and some money?” Lady PEI smiled.
“But I have a lot of money.”
She didn’t know what she meant by this, but Mrs. Zhou was still trying to figure it out. The next moment, lady PEI asked,
“You’re Mrs. Zhou from Jingtai real estate, right?”
Mrs. Zhou had not expected that lady PEI would remember her previous introduction. She was a little happy and nodded.
“You still remember.”
I don’t know what my daughter-in-law has done to you that you can’t stand her. I’ll teach her to be more polite in front of older women. Lady PEI’s eyes were calm at this time, but this appearance made Mrs. Zhou’s eyelids jump. Her words also made Mrs. Zhou’s heart surge with uneasiness. Immediately after, lady PEI said,
“If she’s in the wrong, I’m here to apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you’ll be magnanimous and forgive her.”
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her soul almost flew out of her body.
Lady PEI’s words made her feel even more uneasy than being ridiculed in public.
At this moment, she felt her hands and feet turn cold, and her lips trembled. When had she offended lady PEI’s daughter-in-law to make this lady say such things to her?
At this moment, Mrs. Zhou still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that lady PEI was busy and remembered wrongly. She was no longer in a hurry to get close to lady PEI. Instead, she was in a hurry to explain and fight not to cause trouble for her husband.
“How would I dare? Who is your daughter-in-law? did you remember it wrong?”
She raised her breath to her throat. After saying this, lady PEI laughed lightly, turned around, and shouted, ”
“Sese, come here!”
When she spoke, Mrs. Zhou heard every word she said with her own ears, but when put together, it was indescribably difficult.
Lady PEI’s voice was not loud, but it was not soft either. She was not far from Jiang se. After she shouted, people like Mrs. Weng, who had been watching her, were attracted by her.
Even Piech, who was in the middle of a speech, paused. He looked in lady PEI’s direction and in Jiang SE’s direction.
Jiang se did not know what was going on. She stood up, and lady PEI waved at her.
“You, come over.”
Old lady PEI’s lips curled up, and Feng Zhongliang’s eyes showed satisfaction. Cheng runing laughed and took out her phone.
“There’s a good show to watch.”
Jiang se walked toward lady PEI. After she had a clear look at who she was and heard lady PEI calling her name, Mrs. Zhou’s hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably when she thought of what lady PEI had said. Impossible, impossible, impossible, she muttered to herself.
