"Dad!" Liu Xiaojing whirled like a butterfly, "How do you think I am today?"
"Hey!" Liu Rongcheng happily responded, "Okay, apart from the bride, my daughter is the most beautiful today!"
Liu Xiaojing smiled happily and said coquettishly: "Dad, do you think I can be the bridesmaid today?"
As early as a few days ago, people got the news that at this grand engagement ceremony, the organizer would select a woman to be today's bridesmaid on site.
At first, people thought it was fake news. How could a bridesmaid be chosen on the spot? How is her character? Are her horoscopes compatible? Will there be any accidents? The more upper-class people are, the more they care about these details.
What's more, this is just an engagement party, not a formal wedding, and generally there is no need for bridesmaids.
But later, the news spread like wildfire until the organizers issued an announcement confirming that it was true.
As a result, the ladies from these wealthy and aristocratic families were all interested.
Selecting a bridesmaid on the spot is the same as a beauty pageant. If you are selected at this party where wealthy families gather, what a glorious thing it will be!
Not only was the selected person herself, her beauty and temperament conquered the audience, but the family behind her was recognized by the organizer.
Almost all families with beautiful unmarried daughters have made elaborate preparations, especially those second- and third-rate wealthy families who are not top-notch families. This is an excellent opportunity for them to show their faces.
Liu Xiaojing specially ordered this diamond dress just for this opportunity. This dress was designed by a famous European fashion designer and was inlaid with 999 diamonds.
Because it was a temporary order, the time was very tight. In order to wear this dress to attend, Liu Xiaojing was late. That's why she was so angry when her skirt was touched by Li Muchen on the lake embankment.
Of course, this dress is very expensive, so expensive that most people can hardly imagine it. But it is nothing to the Liu family.
Rongcheng Group is one of the largest private enterprises in Nanjiang. Liu Xiaojing is the daughter of Rongcheng Group.
In terms of personal assets alone, Liu Rongcheng, chairman of Rongcheng Group, has one of the highest net worths in Qiantang, and is known as the invisible richest man in Nanjiang.
But it is a pity that Liu Rongcheng has no family background.
More than thirty years ago, Liu Rongcheng was just a young carpenter, but he was very business-minded. He started as a carpenter and slowly started a wood furniture business. With the rapid development of China's economy in the past few decades, everything from building materials to clothing has
From chemical industry to energy, it is involved in almost all traditional industries, and every industry is very big.
Some people say that he is lucky. In fact, luck is also a manifestation of ability. Rather than saying that he is a pig flying in the wind, it is better to say that he has a vision and seizes every opportunity.
But no matter how successful and wealthy he is, compared with those real wealthy families, he lacks some background.
Money can help the gods, but when the money reaches a certain level, its effect is not as great as imagined.
Moreover, no matter how rich Liu Rongcheng is, he is just one person, and the rich people in the wealthy families are grabbing a handful. Among the wealthy families, the competition is no longer who ranks high on the rich list, but who has the greatest influence.
It can affect the local economy, urban planning, and even national policies. This is the heritage of a wealthy family.
In the eyes of real wealthy families, Liu Rongcheng is a nouveau riche. Therefore, in the upper class society, he has a not-so-elegant nickname - Nanjiang's No. 1 nouveau riche.
Liu Rongcheng doesn't care about money, but he cares about reputation and influence. So he also values today's gathering.
If his daughter can stand out here, it will be of great help to him and the reputation of Rongcheng Group.
If she is more fortunate, Liu Xiaojing is attracted by other wealthy families, such as the Qian family, the Gao family, the Yuan family and even the children of the Beijing family, and marries with these families, then the Liu family will get rid of the title of nouveau riche.
This was Liu Rongcheng's wishful thinking.
"Yes! Why not?"
Liu Rongcheng looked at his daughter who was covered in jewels and nodded with satisfaction.
In terms of clothing alone, among the girls here today, no one is more eye-catching than his daughter.
He looked around with some pride at the people present, then walked up to Yuan Shoushan, stretched out his hand, and said with some respect:
"Mr. Yuan, among those here today, you have the highest seniority and the highest reputation. Your words are authoritative! Please comment, is my daughter Jingjing qualified to be the bridesmaid today?"
Liu Rongcheng's words made many people roll their eyes, especially those who also had the opportunity to compete for the title of bridesmaid.
"Tch, I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"The nouveau riche are the nouveau riche. They think that they will look good if they are adorned with diamonds. How vulgar!"
Someone was whispering below, but Liu Rongcheng pretended not to hear. He only cared about Yuan Shoushan's attitude. As long as Yuan Shoushan spoke, even if he only said a few words, it would definitely give his daughter extra points.
Yuan Shoushan didn't like Liu Rongcheng. In his eyes, Liu Rongcheng was a country bumpkin. But Liu Rongcheng was rich, very rich!
In this extraordinary period, people like Liu Rongcheng are also the ones the Yuan family needs to win over.
Yuan Shoushan's ambition is not only to destroy the Lin family and teach the Shen family, who are close to the Lin family, a lesson. He wants to reach a higher level and let the Yuan family stand higher. Not to mention surpassing the Qian and Gao families, at least he wants to compete with them.
The Gao family is on an equal footing.
"Hahaha..." Yuan Shoushan laughed, "Mr. Liu, it doesn't count if I say anything about this matter. The organizer has the final say."
Liu Rongcheng also laughed: "Jingjing, come here and meet Uncle Yuan."
Liu Xiaojing came up with her skirt in hand, knelt down in front of Yuan Shoushan and saluted, "I've seen Uncle Yuan before."
Yuan Shoushan nodded: "Okay, the daughter of the Liu family is naturally beautiful, and this dress is also good."
Liu Rongcheng knew that Yuan Shoushan was an old fox. He praised him a few times, but he had no intention of standing up for Liu Xiaojing. However, this was all within his expectation. A few words of praise were enough. He smiled slyly and said:
"Jingjing, look, Uncle Yuan has given you his support, and today's bridesmaid is none other than you! Why don't you thank Uncle Yuan quickly."
Liu Xiaojing said quickly: "Thank you, Uncle Yuan."
Yuan Shoushan's face changed slightly. This was definitely not his original intention, but he did not refute it and said calmly: "We have to believe in the organizer's vision."
In this way, it was as if Yuan Shoushan recognized Liu Xiaojing as today's bridesmaid.
The people around him were very angry, but there was nothing they could do. Liu Rongcheng didn't want to lose face, but they also wanted to save face. What's more, the few who were preparing to compete for bridesmaids couldn't compare with the Liu family in terms of financial resources.
People stopped talking and were immersed in the stage performance.
At this time, a famous pianist was playing a soothing piece of music on the stage.
After the song was played, the host came up and introduced the next star.
As time goes by, the stars on stage are getting bigger and bigger.
At first, those popular celebrities were nothing more than that in the eyes of these upper-class people. Later, the celebrities who came on stage became a bit heavyweight, such as the pianist just now, who enjoyed a high reputation internationally.
After that, those who took the stage again were real big names who rarely performed tricks and rarely showed their faces. When they walked on the stage, even the celebrities gathering today would exclaim from time to time.
This further proves the strength of the organizer.
When the last star who came to join in the fun had finished his performance, the host came on stage and said with excitement on his face after a humorous line:
"Dear guests, I know you have been looking forward to this moment. Our protagonist will soon unveil the mystery and meet you. Before that, let us first reveal another mystery today. I believe everyone is happy.
Got it, we will select the most beautiful princess among all of you here to be the bridesmaid today..."
The host paused.
"After secret observation and scoring by the organizer, it was finally determined that today's bridesmaid is——"
