Jason Steer said to a young man next to him, "Have you noticed that Miss Winslet's attitude towards Mr. Xiao is a little different? She looks at him with a special meaning."
The young man said, "Mr. Steer, you're right. I can see it too. In my experience, Miss Winslet can't have fallen in love with Mr. Xiao, can she? They seemed to have had a scandal during the Hua Xia Festival. "
Jason Stehr said in surprise, "Is that so? That's impossible. Mr. Xiao and Miss Winslet are very low-key people, and Mr. Xiao already has a wife and child. How could there be a scandal between them? "
The young man shrugged and said, "Then I don't know."
Jason Steer's words were actually deliberately said to George Trollope, who was not far away. Everyone knew that George had been chasing Annie Winslet for ten years. No matter how beautiful other women were, he wouldn't even look at them. It was enough to show how deep his love was.
Jason's purpose was very simple. He wanted to make trouble for Xiao Yunhai.
George was the successor of the Walson Sales Company. His status was very high. His father intended to train him. It was estimated that in less than ten years, he would completely control Walson, the world's largest supermarket chain.
If he had a bad relationship with Xiao Yunhai, it would be very beneficial for both Steyr Networks and Paramount Pictures.
Obviously, his purpose had been achieved.
After hearing the conversation between the two, the smile on George's face quickly disappeared without a trace. He frowned and looked very bad.
It wasn't until it was his turn to give the gift that his expression returned to normal.
George took out a jade box from his arms and handed it to Annie Winslet. He said with a smile, "Annie, this is a birthday gift I bought for you at an auction in Hong Kong. I hope you like it."
Annie Winslet knew that this old classmate was devoted to her. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved.
But being moved was one thing. It couldn't be mixed with feelings.
The two of them could be very good friends, but it was difficult for Anne Winslet to become lovers.
"Thank you, George. Can I open it now? "
George smiled and said, "Of course."
Winslet opened the jade box, and a sparkling, flawless diamond lay quietly inside.
Xiao Yunhai looked at it and thought to himself, This George is really generous. The diamond he gave Winslet is no smaller than the Star of Hope that my wife is wearing. Its value is probably no less than 200 million dollars. However, Xiao Yunhai bought it for his wife, but he bought it for a woman who didn't agree to be his girlfriend. The two are really different. "
The other guests all exclaimed when they saw the diamond.
A middle-aged man said, "I recognize this diamond. Last week, the Hong Kong auction had sold for 227 million USD. I didn't expect it to be Mr. Trollope. "
"A diamond worth 227 million dollars for Winslet's birthday. Mr. Trollope's friendship is too great."
Annie Winslet closed the box and said, "George, this gift is too valuable. I can't accept it."
George shook his head and said, "Annie, I specially went to Hong Kong to buy this. It represents my sincerity. No matter what, you have to accept it."
After saying that, George said softly, "There are so many people here. Can you leave me some face?"
Annie Winslet was stunned and said, "Okay. Thank you for the gift. "
George smiled and said, "Then can I invite you for the second dance?"
Winslet and her Uncle Bix were bound to be the first dance of the birthday party, so George had to settle for the second dance.
Annie Winslet secretly glanced at Xiao Yunhai, who was standing there indifferently. Disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she nodded and said, "Of course."
Winslet's actions didn't escape George's eyes.
George's heart ached, but he said happily, "That's great."
After the gifts were given, it was time for the ball. The young men and women paired up and walked onto the dance floor.
Xiao Yunhai, on the other hand, picked up a plate and started eating.
"Xiao, can I invite you for a dance?" Ista asked with a smile.
Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "Ista, I'm sorry, but I don't know how."
If Xiao Yunhai was asked to do a dance like break dance or street dance, he would have no problem at all. But this kind of ballroom dance was impossible. Xiao Yunhai had never danced before.
In his previous life, he was just an artist at the bottom. He didn't have the time to learn ballroom dance that only the upper class could use.
Ista exclaimed, "No way. You're the world's recognized dance king. How is it possible that you don't know ballroom dance? "
Since Xiao Yunhai brought the dance of Michael Jackson from his previous life to this world, in addition to the title of the King of Pop, he also received the title of the World's Dance King.
Such a person didn't even know the simplest ballroom dance. This made Ista very surprised.
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "This is my first time attending a Western birthday ball. It's normal that I don't know. Most importantly, I don't want to learn. It's meaningless. I'd rather sit in a corner and eat and drink. "
Ista smiled and said, "Xiao, you're really different. I wonder if I can have the honor to spend some time with you, the world's richest man. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Of course, no problem. By the way, Ista, how's the recording of The Voice of America going? "
Ista picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and took a sip. She said, "The group's one-on-one battles have ended. Next, we'll choose the two students who sing the best to represent the other teams to compete for the championship of 'The Voice'. To be honest, they're all experts in singing. Every one of them is very outstanding. I have a phobia of choice now. I don't know which one to choose. "
"What about the others?"
"They're not much better. Elliot is so worried that his hair has turned white. He's really in a dilemma. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "But it's undeniable that our The Voice of America has become popular."
Ista nodded and said, "That's right. Although it's only been broadcast for one episode, the effect is very good. The number of fans on my homepage has increased by more than six million in just a few days. It's much better than attending singing parties or concerts. "
In fact, other than Ista, the other three coaches' fans had also increased by varying degrees. There were more topics to talk about than before.
The one who benefited the most was David Hume. He was humorous. When competing for the contestants, he kept making jokes and resorted to all sorts of methods. He became the most popular coach among the four of them. His number of fans increased by one-fifth, and his net worth also skyrocketed.
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's not just you guys. Those contestants will also benefit a lot. I'm sure that some of them will even enter the music industry and become real singers. "
Ista smiled and said, "Some of the contestants have already said that some music companies want to sign them. Aren't you going to do something about it? They're all people who came out of The Voice of America. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Before joining the show, I've already signed a contract with them."
Ista asked in surprise, "You're preparing to set up a music company?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I'm not signing a contract to be a singer. I'm signing a contract to perform. As long as the contestants who came out of The Voice of America, as long as Marvel needs them, they have to come and perform unconditionally. The appearance fee will be 50% of their net worth at that time. They can only sing a maximum of ten songs per year, and the contract will be valid for ten years. "
Ista nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Even I would sign a contract like that. "
