Chapter 16 Christmas Dance

For a long time, Han Xiaotian, who was busy with his career, felt deeply lacking in his family, so he made up his mind to put down everything in the company on Christmas every year, return to the family, and do a good job in the role of her husband and father. He personally asked to accompany Han Xue and her daughter to a high-end beauty salon on Nanjing Road to receive professional services.

While I was waiting for them boredly, I could only stay in the luxury RV to watch the in-car TV program. Although my eyes always stayed on the screen of the small TV, I thought from time to time how to deal with the harsh tests put forward by Han Xiaotian and used them to pass the boring time.

...

"Dad, what's the name of the new mayor? I just couldn't call his name for a while. Do you know him?" After Han Xue learned the exact content of the test, she got out of the car and walked a few steps. She hurriedly shook Han Xiaotian's arm and asked.

"Qi Haitao, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of Tianjin, had not had many people in Shanghai before being transferred to office. I only met him once, so I couldn't talk about friendship!" Han Xiaotian accompanied his wife and daughter on the crowded Nanjing Road.

"Oh, that's good!" Han Xue was afraid that her father would make it difficult for Pan Junyu to make acquaintances with the mayor, so after receiving the reply, she calmed down.

"Hey, Xiaoxue, aren't you worried that Pan Junyu won't pass the test?" Han's mother couldn't help asking curiously when she saw her daughter's expression change from nervousness to relaxation.

"I believe he can do it!" Han Xue knew her boyfriend's ability, and in order to keep an agreement with Pan Junyu, she answered her mother with confidence.

When he arrived at the beauty salon, Han Xue remembered something, suddenly stopped, stared at Han Xiaotian's eyes, and complained: "Dad, why did you think of giving Junyu such a question? Invite the mayor's daughter to dance, you can come up with it!"

"What do you think, Xiaoxue, do you think your father is embarrassed about him?" Han Xiaotian glanced at his equally curious wife and replied without asking.

"Well, that's of course! Are you willing to ask your mother to invite Mayor Qi to dance?" Han Xue nodded affirmatively, ignoring the eyes of the man passing by, and said sourly.

"Haha, silly girl, so you are jealous! Don't think about it, if Pan Junyu wants to be my Han family's son-in-law, how can he lack the necessary interpersonal relationship? Okay, mother and daughter go and be the head, I'll wait in the lobby!" Han Xiaotian said, in order to avoid those bad eyes of Han Xue, he hugged Han Xue and her daughter and walked towards the beauty salon.

"Oh" Han Xue looked suspicious. Although she still felt something was wrong in her heart, she was pulled into the beauty salon by Han's mother before she could think about it carefully.

After seeing Han Xue and his daughter disappear, Han Xiaotian leaned on the sofa in the lobby. Although he took out his handheld computer to handle official business, he was thinking in his heart: If Pan Junyu fails, the result is certainly good; but the test he can pass smoothly not only shows his ability, but also has a relationship with Qi Haitao who has just taken office. This is also a good result, and it can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Han Xiaotian couldn't help but smile that was not easy to detect, and was very satisfied with his idea.

...

Almost half an hour later, when I was a little confused, I suddenly heard the sound of the car door opening. The conditioned reflex made me look back, and then a familiar face appeared in front of me.

After carefully dressing up, my beloved Han Xue's hair was tied up high. A few strands of long hair that seemed to be accidentally left in her ears were bent and drooped. Her eyes were covered with a layer of faint eyeshadow, and her long curled eyelashes made her charming eyes. Her face was slightly thin, which made her look even white and red. When she got into the car, the black evening dress that was originally growing to her ankles could not cover Han Xue's white and tender jade feet. Her beautiful pair of slender legs were exposed and looked very charming. My eyes were attracted involuntarily.

"Junyu, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Han Xue noticed her boyfriend's gaze and secretly pinched Pan Junyu's back, blaming her boyfriend for being restrained in front of her parents.

"It's okay, Xue, you are so beautiful. You will definitely be full of glamor and surpass all the fans when you are drinking!" I understood Han Xue's eyes, smiled helplessly, and then praised without hesitation.

"Really? Unfortunately, we have to pretend not to know each other at the cocktail party later. You have to invite other women to dance the first dance!" Han Xue said, his expression dimming.

"Xue, as long as we can pass my uncle's test, we still have a long time to spend together in the future. Don't be so stingy!" I held Han Xue's slender waist and whispered in her ear.

"Yes!" Han Xue noticed that the driver on the other side of the car door was opened, and her parents sat in the car. At this time, he hurriedly closed his mouth obediently, nodded quietly, and stopped talking to each other.

After Han Xiaotian ordered the driver to drive, he saw his daughter leaning close to Pan Junyu's shoulder, so he had to look at each other helplessly and smile with his wife without saying anything.

As the car was driving steadily, the soft music in the car circled in everyone's ears. Unfortunately, the four of them had different hearts and did not pay attention to listening to the beautiful melody music.

First, Han Xue was next to Pan Junyu, her weak and boneless little hand held Pan Junyu's arm tightly, and looked up from time to time to contact Pan Junyu's eye contact, waiting for the cruel test of reality in sweet spiritual communication.

Han’s mother had a deep prejudice against Pan Junyu and was unwilling to see her daughter’s intimate appearance with Pan Junyu. She looked down on Pan Junyu, who was an ‘ordinary person’ from her heart. In order to ignore the other person’s existence, Han’s mother pretended to look out of the distance outside the car window, waiting for Pan Junyu to be embarrassed at the cocktail party where the heroes gathered, hoping to take this opportunity to let Han Xue see clearly that she and Pan Junyu are people living in two worlds. Even if they barely walk together, they will never be happy in the future.

But Han Xiaotian, who was caring for Secretary Xiao, did not do so. He paid attention to Pan Junyu's every move, and from his calm and unshakable expression, he couldn't help but affirm the correctness and necessity of this decision.

If Shanghai is a star city in China, then Jinmao Building can also be called a star in Shanghai Metropolitan.

The 88-story Jinmao Building is located at the entrance of the Yan'an East Road Tunnel in Pudong, next to Century Avenue, and is located in the center of Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone, the core area of ​​Pudong. It is known as the landmark building of Shanghai together with the Oriental Pearl.

Therefore, in order to reflect the characteristics of Shanghai, the first Christmas party of the millennium held by the municipal government, after several discussions, finally decided to be held at the banquet hall of the Jinmao Hyatt Regency Hotel, the Guinness World Records rated as the "world's highest hotel" by the Guinness World Records that year.

Due to the large number of people attending the Christmas dance this time, almost all the well-known figures in Shanghai, a long convoy was already lined up at the main entrance of Jinmao Building. Han Xiaotian's extended RV could only slow down and move forward slowly. When he finally stopped in the foyer, it was already 5:30, but there was still plenty of time before the official banquet began at 6:30 in the evening.

Before getting off the car, according to the prior agreement with Han Xiaotian, we had to pretend that we didn't know each other, so I kissed Han Xue's forehead and took the invitation from her. After the waiter opened the car door, he politely nodded to Han Xiaotian and his wife, cheered up and walked out of the car slowly.

Standing on the bottom floor of Jinmao Building, looking up at the skyscrapers like towering clouds, an invisible sense of oppression came.

I shook the tuxedo, took a deep breath, and stepped into the majestic, spacious and bright lobby with the endless stream of guests.

It is worthy of being the most luxurious place in Shanghai. I walked into it in a small step and paid attention to the internal building in front of me. Its high-end interior decoration gives people a solemn and elegant, relaxed and pleasant feeling. The beautifully shaped consultation service desk and tall and eye-catching electronic display screen give people enthusiastic and thoughtful and quick service.

I followed the guests around me and walked calmly into the waiting hall with a unique shape, like a pyramid with a brilliant golden wall. While waiting for the elevator, I noticed that almost all the guests were men and women in costumes, which made me think of Han Xue who came with me.

So I looked around calmly, and with the eyes of the men around me, I soon found Han Xue, who was fascinating from the guests who were stolen by the heads. She stood gracefully between Han Xiaotian and his wife, waiting for another elevator not far away.

Perhaps Han Xue had a heart-to-heart relationship with me, and immediately noticed my scorching gaze. She looked back and smiled, which made all the men around her excited. However, I was not able to maintain my prior agreement and almost forgot to move my steps towards the elevator where Han Xue was.

"Hmm!" Han Xue saw her boyfriend coming up and found that her father ejaculated with warning eyes. So, under the attention of the young heroes around her, she coughed gently, using this to remind Pan Junyu of the real purpose of this trip.

Although everyone had a conversation that they didn't know each other, my behavior of appearing next to Han Xue was very reasonable, so I ignored Han Xiaotian's eyes and continued to wait for the elevator next to Han Xue.

Soon, I smelled the scent of jasmine flowers from Han Xue. About thirty seconds later, I walked into the elevator with the male and female guests next to me, along with Han Xue's family.

Although I stood face to face in the center of the elevator, there was surveillance by Han Xiaotian and his wife around, so I could only pretend that they didn’t know each other. However, since the banquet hall was above the fiftieth floor and the elevator took more than a minute to reach, it was particularly depressing for me during that period.

When I arrived and opened the elevator door, I didn’t know whether Han Xiaotian and his wife deliberately grabbed Han Xue, and let me walk out of the elevator alone. But I didn’t care about this, kept my expression natural, and guided by the sign, I walked through the narrow corridor and finally came to the door of the luxurious banquet hall.

From the outside to the inside, the banquet hall faintly exudes a modern elegance. The wavy openworked copper frame is shining under the huge alabaster wall lights, and it is seamlessly matched with the rich wood grain, creating a warm atmosphere for the most elegant conference hall.

Even before entering it, the beautiful music was clearly heard in my ears. At this time, Han Xiaotian and Han Xue also came behind me. At Han Xue's reminder, I took out the invitation from my chest and handed it to the etiquette lady at the banquet according to the actions of the couple in front.

"Sir, please sign here!" After checking, the Etiquette lady pointed to the signature book on the table and said in a crisp voice.
