The white and slender fingers fly on the black and white piano keys, like a dancing elf, with beautiful and cheerful melodies flowing slowly from under the fingertips, and in the spacious and bright living room of the villa, a famous puppy waltz of Chopin was played.

The warm and soft sunset sprinkled in from the window, bringing Wang Jinlan's beautiful face sitting in front of a Bolanceler mid-sized upright piano, reflecting a faint crystal ray of glow.

The delicate pedal effect, coupled with Wang Jinlan's originality in piano music processing, makes the waltz appear more relaxed and cheerful, giving people a sense of artistic conception of a puppy rotating quickly to chase his tail, leisurely and contented, lazy and comfortable.

With Wang Jinlan's devoted playing, his entire personal emotions seemed to be injected into this song.

The tune is healthy and lively, humorous and interesting, especially the theme of a waltz in the middle is even more beautiful and lyrical.

This famous puppy waltz, also known as one-minute waltz, mainly expresses the meaning of the moment of the grip. It takes only a little more than a minute to finish the music, giving people a very relaxed and pleasant feeling.

Until Wang Jinlan's ten fair and moist green onion fingers stopped on the keys, her beautiful face couldn't help but smile peacefully.

It seemed as if he noticed Wu Xinping approaching. Wang Jinlan, who was sitting on the leather-cushioned piano chair, looked back and smiled, and she was full of charm.

The living room is bright and spacious, making it even more warm under the setting sun.

The 21-inch Panasonic color TV, a set of recorder and combined audio, looks particularly fashionable at this time. The solid wood floor is shining brightly and the leather sofa is elegant and elegant. The most popular decoration of this era is fully reflected in this villa at Chen Hongtao's house.

"Ma Wu, is there anything wrong?" Wang Jinlan asked the woman with a smile.

"Hongtao just called and said that he would probably not come back with a party with his friends in the evening..." Wu Xinping smiled slightly and said to Wang Jinlan with a thoughtful look.

"Oh, I understand." Although Wang Jinlan tried her best to make herself look colder, the disappointment that the quiet smile in her beautiful eyes turned into before still made Wu Xinping see it.

"Play for a while and come over to have a meal." Wu Xinping smiled and reminded Wang Jinlan, but didn't say much.

It was not until the woman left that the piano sounded again in the living room. If someone who knew about piano music listened to Wang Jinlan's playing, he would know that the song Wang Jinlan played was called "Wedding in Dreams", which was from Richard Clayderman's "Adelina by the Water".

This song was tailored for Richard Clayderman by French composer and music producer Pauldesenneville and Oliviertoussaint, and is a touching love story.

It’s just that it’s not as beautiful and gentle melody as Richard Clayderman’s dream wedding. Wang Jinlan did not play the romantic and beautiful emotions of this song. Instead, there were many missounds and jumps, indicating that her mood was not calm.

After playing the wedding in the dream intermittently, Wang Jinlan sighed slightly and closed the cover of the piano.

After hearing the news that Chen Hongtao would not come back tonight, Wang Jinlan couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in her heart. Even she herself didn't know why she felt this emotion.

"Hmph! It's better not to come back." Wang Jinlan, who sat quietly on the piano chair for a while, rarely showed the little woman's delicate appearance. She pouted and stood up in anger.

What Wang Jinlan didn't know at this time was that Chen Hongtao, who annoyed her, was eating a small kitchen in the canteen of Mingzhu Group.

A large plate of shredded pork with Beijing sauce, a bowl of steaming rice, and two plates of pickles made Chen Hongtao quite satisfied.

Unlike lunch, when you get off work in the evening, there are not many people eating in the canteen in the compound of the group headquarters.

Most of the employees in the company have already returned home, and the huge canteen seems quite deserted. Therefore, Chen Hongtao's arrival did not attract much attention.

"Young man, have you just come to work in the company?" A woman in white clothes, about forty-five, asked with a bowl of egg soup in front of Chen Hongtao and smiled.

"Yes, I just came today, and it was the first time I had a meal in the cafeteria." Facing the easy-going woman, Chen Hongtao smiled a little shyly.

The chefs in the cafeteria had already gotten off work at this time, and only the woman was left watching. Therefore, the woman kindly helped Chen Hongtao to serve a bowl of soup, but she did not stay to talk more, and soon returned to the window for making meals.

The courtyard of the entire Mingzhu Group headquarters covers a wide area, with green woods and green grass. In addition to the six-story office building of the headquarters, there are only two buildings in the courtyard, including staff dormitories and canteens.

The staff dormitory is a four-story red brick building, which is specially prepared for employees in other places. The dormitory building is quite clean and tidy, but there are not many employees living there.

As for the company's canteen, it is a small one-story building. However, unlike the bungalow, the canteen of Mingzhu Group is built with a relatively high frame, but there is no sense of aggrievance. There are thirty large round tables placed inside the canteen. Not to mention that it accommodates headquarters employees for dining, it is more than rich even when preparing wedding banquets.

The courtyard is lush and the roads are extremely flat. If it weren't for the lack of buildings, in Chen Hongtao's opinion, the courtyard of Mingzhu Group would have a campus flavor.

Just as Chen Hongtao occupied a large round table to eat alone, Xiao Manyao's beautiful figure had already walked in from outside the canteen.

Although Chen Hongtao noticed Xiao Manyao's arrival at the first time, he was not surprised. As early as when he read Xiao Manyao's resume in the afternoon, he knew that the home of this company's future manager was not in the capital. Since she came to work at Mingzhu Group, she has been living in the staff dormitory.

Xiao Manyao, wearing gray and white professional women's clothing, showed a pair of round, slender and flawless stunning long legs under her hip-wrapped skirt. On her slender ankles, a pair of silver rope-striped high heels made it difficult to look away...

Xiao Manyao walked with her slender legs, and she walked gracefully. The sound of high heels treading on the ground was short and not rapid, calm and powerful. Just listening to the footsteps, you can tell that she must be a very confident and sharp woman.

However, for gay men, the sound of these high heels on the ground is more like the strongest sound in their hearts. The slender and crystal-clear pink legs and a pair of silver high heels will definitely make people who are crazi or crazi or crazi.

As Chen Hongtao looked at him with a friendly and funny look, Xiao Manyao finished the meal and came to his table and whispered: "Mr. Chen, don't you know if I can sit here?"

"Of course, did you know in advance that I was having dinner in the cafeteria?" Chen Hongtao smiled casually and seemed very relaxed.

Xiao Manyao nodded: "The office building is not too far from the canteen. The three-minute walk is still driving a Toyota car to eat. I'm afraid it's only Mr. Chen!"

Looking at Xiao Manyao's exquisite and charming face mixed with her elegant and charming temperament, Chen Hongtao secretly praised her and said nothing more.

The two of them had a meal silently for a while. Seeing that Chen Hongtao was about to finish his meal and had not yet raised the point of lying on the topic, a strangeness flashed through Xiao Manyao's beautiful eyes.

"Mr. Chen, does the group integration and transformation you mentioned in the conference room before mean that the company needs to reduce expenses?" Xiao Manyao asked very implicitly, and the reduction of expenses included too wide.

"What are you trying to ask? Or lay off employees or reduce the scale of the group?" Chen Hongtao looked up slightly, glanced at Xiao Manyao's fair and round face and smiled.

It seemed that Chen Hongtao said something in his heart, Xiao Manyao looked stagnant and did not immediately answer Chen Hongtao's words.

"The company's performance has begun to decline, but there are still some people who go to and from get off work with a sloppy attitude. From the perspective of employees, this is actually very normal. However, from the perspective of the company's owners, it is necessary to criticize these people. Of course, it is possible to ask them to pack and leave. After all, no company that wants to develop will allow such people to be in trouble." Chen Hongtao looked calm and could not see any emotional fluctuations.

"But significantly cut employees and tighten costs, the company's business and scale will inevitably be compressed. How can this be achieved?" Xiao Manyao is not not supporting the layoffs, she just has some doubts about Chen Hongtao's ability.

"Mingzhu Group has a scale, but where do you talk about the business come from? The internal and external environment has caused the group to become ill, and the entire group's business has completely stopped. To be discouraged, Mingzhu Group is now paralyzed. If this situation does not change, I believe that in two or three years, the huge group will be dragged down." Chen Hongtao smiled and took a sip of the soup, but there was no trace of deflation and anxious look.

"Mr. Chen, I want to know if what you said at this time is my own thoughts or Mr. Guan's opinion?" Xiao Manyao asked Chen Hongtao with strange eyes.

"Is there any difference?" Chen Hongtao quickly finished the meal, and then began to face Xiao Manyao's communication.

I have to admit that Xiao Manyao's sexy and enchanting appearance is enough to make any man salivate at his body, and even Chen Hongtao is no exception.

"The situation of the group is indeed not optimistic, but the scale of the group should not be deliberately based on political needs. I believe that once Mingzhu Group falls apart, the pressure that Mr. Guan has to face in his political career will be much smaller, right?" Xiao Manyao saw it very far-reachingly and even linked the development of Mingzhu Group with Guan Jingxiang's political stance.

"Haha! Are you worried that our family will deliberately weaken the Mingzhu Group for the sake of my parents' political mission?" Chen Hongtao stood up with a playful look on his face, deliberately taking the word "our family" seriously.
