Li Jingjing had a simple personality. When she heard everyone praising Jiang Shuo, she went along with the tide and said a few nice words. These words made Jiang Shuo feel like he was sitting on clouds. He directly felt that Li Jingjing actually wanted to get close to him and get some benefits. He couldn't help but feel proud of himself.
How could a worker of a small company compare to a rich kid like him? Jiang Shuo felt that he had thought too much before. There was no need to pressure Yang Cheng.
At this time, Jiang Shuo felt that he had to be more mature and calm. He had to express a sense of respect, so he immediately greeted everyone, "Everyone, please sit down. All the expenses today will be paid by me. Don't be polite."
When he saw Li Jingjing, Jiang Shuo smiled gently and said, "Jingjing, you may not be familiar with this place. Why don't you sit next to me and I will tell you everything here. I guarantee that you will have a good time today."
"Ah?" Li Jingjing quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "No need, Chief Jiang. Everyone can enjoy themselves. I don't know anything about singing or dancing. I will just sit next to Brother Yang and watch."
Jiang Shuo's hopes were dashed and he was a little annoyed. However, he only thought of Li Jingjing as a shy young bird. So he pretended to be generous and smiled, "Alright then, you can sit next to Mr. Yang. If there is anything you need, don't be polite."
"Don't be polite. Of course, I won't be polite. Isn't being polite to Group Leader Jiang disrespecting Group Leader Jiang?" Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Why don't we have a few bottles of red wine to liven things up. Everyone will have more energy to sing."
Jiang Shuo felt a burst of contempt in his heart. He secretly cursed this bumpkin for taking advantage of others. However, he naturally wouldn't care about a few bottles of red wine. He waved his hand and smiled, "Of course, what red wine does Mr. Yang want to drink? Just go out and order a few bottles."
The teachers sitting around were also in high spirits. Although they were rich, the more wine they could drink for free, the better.
Yang Cheng showed a look of worship and immediately went out to call a waiter. After saying a few words, he immediately returned to his seat and sat close to Li Jingjing. He smiled and said, "Group Leader Jiang is really a big shot. I ordered five bottles of red wine. I don't know if it will be enough."
Five bottles? Jiang Shuo sneered in his heart. Even if it was ten bottles, it would not be considered a lot of money. "Mr. Yang is too polite. There are so many people, five bottles are definitely not enough. Just ask for a few more bottles later."
The efficiency of the waiters in the Heavenly Province was very high. They had just talked for a while when a bucket of iced red wine was sent in. When everyone saw the five bottles of red wine in the bucket, they were immediately dumbfounded!
The five bottles were impressively '98 French Castel red wine! Anyone with a certain level of knowledge would know that this red wine was a brand from Bordeaux, France. Furthermore, it was one of the best wineries in France. Furthermore, it had been aged for more than ten years. It was impossible for it to be worth less than a thousand!
Jiang Shuo was naturally most aware of the price of these bottles of wine. He never would've thought that Yang Cheng would order this kind of red wine. He'd thought that it would be an ordinary red wine that cost over a hundred dollars a bottle.
Seeing five or six thousand dollars fly out of his pocket, Jiang Shuo had the urge to vomit blood.
"It's all thanks to Team Leader Jiang. Normally, I wouldn't even dare to think about drinking this kind of wine." A few of the more quick-witted teachers also saw through Yang Cheng's intentions. While secretly mocking him, they cooperated and said some good words.
Jiang Shuo's smile was a bit stiff as he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. As long as everyone is happy."
His originally exuberant mood was now as irritable as a small island that had been hit by a thunderstorm. Stealthily sizing up Yang Cheng who was laughing and chatting with a few teachers, Jiang Shuo pondered whether he should find an opportunity to punish this guy who didn't know how to appreciate favors.
The teachers in the room didn't care too much. They had already started to get high. One by one, they took turns to dance and sing to their heart's content. They didn't have the slightest bit of the steadiness of a teacher. Who knew if their students would be taken aback if they saw their current appearance.
Li Jingjing sat quietly on the sofa listening, occasionally eating a piece of fruit. Her tranquil expression carried a slight smile, but she didn't participate in the singing.
Jiang Shuo collected his mood. Seeing Li Jingjing attentively listening to the singing, he immediately had an idea. He took the microphone and said, "Today is a welcoming party for our Teacher Li Jingjing. As the team leader, I will specially sing a song for Jingjing to express my sincerity at this moment …"
The teachers all knew what Jiang Shuo meant to Li Jingjing, so they cooperated and applauded.
Li Jingjing was a bit at a loss. She nervously looked at Yang Cheng beside her. Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't say anything, she relaxed a bit.
At this moment, Jiang Shuo was already full of emotion. He selected a song and said, "I will sing this song, 'Infatuation', for Miss Li Jingjing."
To be honest, Team Leader Jiang's voice was not bad. Although he didn't sing a few high notes, the entire song of Li Shengjie's "Absolute Infatuation" was sung with strong emotions. He had probably sung it seven or eight hundred times. If an ordinary girl heard it, she would definitely be moved.
The teachers all applauded loudly. Li Jingjing also cooperated and said "Thank you" and clapped.
Jiang Shuo was a bit proud, but he suddenly discovered that Yang Cheng didn't applaud. Instead, he kept pouring wine for himself. He couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart. He laughed weirdly and said, "Mr. Yang hasn't sung since just now. I wonder if you can sing a song for everyone to enjoy?"
"Uh …" Yang Cheng frowned and put down his wine glass. He awkwardly smiled and said, "I don't think that's necessary. I don't really know how to sing."
"How can that be? Everyone has already sung. Whether it's good or bad is secondary. It's just participation." Jiang Shuo felt that he finally had the chance to make Yang Cheng look bad. He immediately hit the nail on the head and said, "After Mr. Yang sings, let's ask Li Jingjing to sing as well. What does everyone think?"
The teachers all ate and drank at Jiang Shuo's expense, so they naturally agreed to his small request. They all shouted that they wanted to ask Yang Cheng and Li Jingjing to sing.
Although Li Jingjing didn't dare to sing, she really wanted to listen to Yang Cheng's voice. After all, when a woman was infatuated with a man, she would want to understand everything about him.
"Big Brother Yang, just sing one song. It doesn't matter if you don't sing well. Let everyone be happy." Li Jingjing couldn't help but be curious and egged him on.
Yang Cheng was helpless. He scratched his head and could only take the microphone. He slowly stood up and said, "Actually, I just came back from abroad half a year ago. So I haven't heard much of the popular songs in our country. If I really want to sing, please allow me to choose a song from another country …"
"Mr. Yang is a returnee?"
"No way! A real person doesn't show his true colors! "
"It's not good to brag!"
A few teachers immediately jeered. They obviously didn't believe that the man in front of them was a returnee. Otherwise, how could he be an employee of a small company!?
Jiang Shuo felt that Yang Cheng was evading. He smiled proudly and said, "It's no big deal. Mr. Yang can choose a foreign language song. We are all English teachers here, so we can still understand."
"That's right, that's right!" The teachers were also interested.
Yang Cheng cleared his throat, chose a song on the computer, and played it. He smiled at everyone and said, "I'm sorry, I don't intend to sing an English song. Next, I will sing a Spanish song by Latin singer Enrique Iglesias, Quizas. When translated into Mandarin, it should be, 'maybe' …"
The soothing music with a strong Spanish flavor filled the private room. Yang Cheng's voice was slightly hoarse, and he began to perform the song just right …
"… Estás perdiendo el tiempo, Pensando, Por lo que más túquieras. Hasta cuándo? Hasta cuándo? Y así pasan los días. Y yo, desesperando … "
Almost everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief. Jiang Shuo felt as if an egg was stuck in his throat.
The melodious music matched with the slightly unrestrained and indulgent voice. A Spanish love song immersed everyone in a wonderful and touching scene.
The moment the music stopped, everyone present except Jiang Shuo applauded with all their might. Li Jingjing's eyes were a little moist, and she revealed a happy and intoxicated smile.
Yang Cheng was a little embarrassed. He rejected the teachers' strong request for him to sing another song. He only said that "singing is too tiring" and didn't sing anymore.
This time, no one suspected that Yang Cheng was afraid of making a fool of himself. After all, everyone was a foreign language teacher. They understood that knowing a foreign language and singing a foreign language song were not on the same level. Many times, to test a person's foreign language proficiency, one only needed to look at their ability to listen to foreign language songs to roughly judge.
The fun that followed was still very joyous, but Jiang Shuo, who was forcing himself to smile, constantly cursed the women in Yang Cheng's family in his heart. Unfortunately, he didn't know that even Yang Cheng didn't know them.
Because they started playing a little early, and they still had to go to school the next day, the teachers decided to go home before ten o 'clock.
As they walked out, everyone's faces were a little drunk, and their voices were a lot louder.
Yang Cheng was chatting quite enthusiastically with a few of the male teachers. He was walking past a corner when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking in from the corner of his eye.
Why is he here?
Li Jingjing, who had been paying attention to Yang Cheng, saw Yang Cheng frown and asked with concern, "Brother Yang, what's wrong?"
"Oh," Yang Cheng smiled at her, "It's nothing, I think I saw someone familiar, but I must have seen wrongly."
The group left the Country of Heavenly Province. Before leaving, Jiang Shuo painfully paid over ten thousand dollars, and then walked towards the parking lot.
Although he was depressed all night, Jiang Shuo didn't forget his main goal. He quickly walked to Li Jingjing's side and said with a graceful smile, "Jingjing, how about I send you back? I bought a new car, and I can take you for a ride."
As he said this, Jiang Shuo pointed to a brand new silver grey Toyota Camry not far away. Under the illumination of the street lights, it indeed looked very beautiful.
The teachers were a little envious, "This car costs over two hundred thousand dollars. Now that gas prices are still expensive, Group Leader Jiang still needs to change to a new car. Comparing people is killing people." Although the teachers' salaries weren't low, most of them only drove Ford, Bora, and other small cars that cost over a hundred thousand dollars.
Li Jingjing smiled with some difficulty, and said in a small voice, "Group Leader Jiang, I don't think I'll trouble you. I'm already very apologetic that you treated me like this today. I'll take Big Brother Yang's car back. Big Brother Yang is also familiar with where my house is … "
Jiang Shuo pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh? Mr. Yang also drove here? I thought it was a taxi. May I know where Mr. Yang's car is? "
Yang Cheng burped. His stomach was full of wine and fruits. Even though his alcohol tolerance had recovered, he still felt a little uncomfortable. His mind was still thinking about the figure he had just seen. Hearing Jiang Shuo's question, he casually took out the BMW key from his pants pocket and pressed the unlock button.
Everyone turned their heads to look. They saw a white car emitting light parked in an inconspicuous location. The blue and white propeller-shaped logo on the front of the car made everyone suck in a breath of cold air.
"My god, isn't that an M3!?" A teacher who had some knowledge of cars shouted with shining eyes, "This car sells for over one million in the country, two or three hundred thousand dollars! I've seen a few rich businessmen's sons drive them before. I didn't expect Mr. Yang to also drive this car, and it's even the latest model! "
Although the other teachers didn't know what the model of the car represented, seeing that it was a BMW, they understood what grade the car was.
Jiang Shuo was also shocked. Then his face turned green and purple. No matter how stupid he was, he wouldn't be stupid enough to think that the person driving the BMW M3 was an ordinary company employee. Although he was puzzled about Yang Cheng's identity, he could only reveal a friendly and somewhat flattering smile, "Mr. Yang really is a real person who doesn't show his true colors. I, Jiang Shuo, have my eyes opened."
Damn it! A rich person pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Why is he pretending to be a small employee!?
"Group Leader Jiang is the one who is generous." Yang Cheng laughed, "I've drunk enough today. Thank you for your hospitality. Goodbye." As he said this, he pulled Li Jingjing's hand and walked back to the car.
The group of teachers enviously watched the white BMW start up and drive away. They all felt like they were dreaming. Yang Cheng's background also became the biggest mystery in these people's hearts.
After Jiang Shuo sat in the car, he started it up and looked at the dazzling lights in the car. His original fondness for the new car was completely gone. He slammed the steering wheel hard, his scholarly face looking a bit sinister in the dark ….
