Richest Man: Getting 7 Billion Red Pockets To Start With - Chapter 643

643 Drink; Play the Piano!
The man in the tuxedo was Chen Ming.

He had always harbored other thoughts about Xia Xue.

Before coming, Dai Weiya had already told Chen Ming that Xia Xue had found a companion for tonight.

However, after seeing the man in the flesh, Chen Ming was still unhappy.

Even so, Chen Ming quickly suppressed his thoughts and smiled. “Xia Xue, long time no see.”

Xia Xue hated Chen Ming very much, but she could not make it too obvious. She had to say perfunctorily, “Yeah, long time no see.”

Chen Ming did not seem to notice Xia Xue’s perfunctory tone and said, “The last time we met, it was at a gathering organized by President Zuo.

“President Zuo was still asking who should be the next head of the Public Relations Department yesterday, and I even recommended you.

“Xia Xue, with your ability, there’ll be no problem!”

After a pause, he said, “Right, at the last gathering, you also said that you wanted to have a drink together next time. Today is a very good opportunity. Let’s have a drink.”

As he spoke, he strode forward and picked up two glasses of red wine.

It had to be said that Chen Ming really had good abilities and methods.

It seemed to just be a simple chat, but it was more than that. First, he recalled the past between the two of them, then he pointed out the other party’s promise. Then, he talked about the favors he had done for the other party.

Ordinary people could not refuse his toast.

However, there was an extraordinary person standing next to Xia Xue—Lin Fan!

Lin Fan took a step forward and stood in front of Xia Xue. He took the red wine from Chen Ming and said, “I’m Xia Xue’s companion for today. I’ll be drinking on her behalf today. Otherwise, won’t I be too incompetent as her companion?”

As he spoke, he gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, allowing the red wine to ripple back and forth.

It was bright and gorgeous, like a red rose that had come alive. It was simply mesmerizing.

Then, Lin Fan raised his wine glass and sniffed it. He looked like a gentleman sniffing a flower that had just bloomed. He appeared very elegant.

Finally, Lin Fan poured the red wine into his mouth.

His throat moved slightly as he downed the glass.

Lin Fan commented, “The taste is slightly sweet. Also, there are many grapes mixed together, affecting the taste of the wine.”

[Skill: Drinking Gentleman!]

Xia Xue witnessed this scene with her own eyes.

In her eyes, Lin Fan was like a prince in a palace, introducing to her the red wine that he had personally brewed. It was so mesmerizing.

Chen Ming’s face turned even uglier.

He had spent so much effort in the past before he had the opportunity to let Xia Xue drink with him.

And the result?

In the end, this guy in front of him directly snatched away his opportunity to drink with Xia Xue!

Now, Xia Xue was looking at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes. A faint light was flashing in them.

Damn it!

Chen Ming quietly took a breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said in a slightly surprised tone, “Xia Xue, you found a companion for tonight?”

That tone and that expression… It was as if he had no idea about this beforehand.

It had to be said that Chen Ming had some acting skills.

Then, Chen Ming smiled. “You’re Xia Xue’s friend, so you’re also my friend. Oh, look, I haven’t introduced myself.

“I’m Chen Ming, the vice president of the Jiangbei University Student Union.”

After saying that, Chen Ming took the initiative to extend his right hand.

He created a friendly attitude.

At the same time, he pointed out his identity.

When an ordinary person heard that he was the vice president of the student council, they would definitely be shocked.

However, Lin Fan acted as if he did not hear him and said calmly, “Lin Fan.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently clenched Chen Ming’s hand.

Chen Ming saw that Lin Fan’s attitude toward him did not change at all. An unhappy expression flashed across his face.

In his opinion, he had already revealed his identity as the vice president.

In that case, Lin Fan should treat him respectfully like a commoner meeting a prince.

Chen Ming’s eyes kept moving as if he was thinking about how to deal with Lin Fan.

Soon, his gaze fell on the two pianos on both sides of the stage. His eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

“Today is a rare banquet for the student council. Many people will dance together, but how can there be no music when dancing? Lin Fan, let’s play a few piano songs for everyone. What do you think?”

After a pause, he said, “Xia Xue likes to listen to piano music very much. You should have no problem with that, right?”

If Chen Ming did not say that last sentence, Lin Fan would not have paid him any mind.

After all, why should he play the piano when others were the ones who wanted to dance?

However, with the last sentence, the situation was completely different.

Xia Xue quickly said, “There’s dance music prepared for this banquet. It’s more convenient and simple to play the music directly later.”

She did not say that she did not like piano music.

“Playing dance music isn’t as interesting as playing music live,” Chen Ming said with a smile. “What’s wrong? Are you lacking confidence in me or Lin Fan?”

As he spoke, he could not help but raise his head.

Chen Ming had great confidence in his piano skills.

That was because he had entered Jiangbei University through the arts selection.

Among his peers, he was best at playing the piano.
He was even praised by several famous pianists.

In fact, even if Lin Fan had not appeared, Chen Ming had planned to play the piano at the banquet tonight.

First, as he said, Xia Xue liked piano music. He could show her his charm.

Secondly, it would allow him to gain more attention and recognition from the student council.

Lin Fan gave Xia Xue a reassuring look and said, “Then let’s go play. But what song should we play?”

Chen Ming said, “Let’s play Dance in the Wind first. This song is lively and enthusiastic. It’s suitable for our banquet tonight.”

Lin Fan frowned. “I don’t think I’ve heard this song before.””

Even though Lin Fan had used his scanning ability to look at many music scores when he had nothing to do, a thousand years had passed. It was not surprising that many new scores had appeared.

After a pause, Lin Fan said, “It’s okay. You play first. I’ll play after you.”

With his scanning ability and his extraordinary spiritual power, it was a very simple matter for him to play a piano song after listening to it once.

However, to Chen Ming, it was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Anyone who had a deeper understanding of the piano, even if they had never practiced the Dance in the Wind, would definitely have heard it before.

However, Lin Fan had not.

Moreover, he wanted him to play it once first, and then he would play after him.

Who did he think he was?

The God of Duplication?

Chen Ming nearly collapsed from laughing.

Afraid that Lin Fan would go back on his word, Chen Ming hurriedly said, “Alright then, I’ll play first and you follow up! It’s getting late. Let’s go up now.”

After saying that, the corners of his mouth curled up again.

He seemed to have imagined the scene of Lin Fan’s messy playing later. It would cause everyone to laugh and Xia Xue to be completely disappointed in Lin Fan.
