Chapter 293 The Successor of the Collins
They returned to the banquet venue, and when everyone arrived, Long Peikai winked at Lydia Collins and said to others, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have prepared a generous luncheon for you in the inner hall. Please move to the inner hall."
The interior hall was splendidly decorated, with a huge round stage in the middle, on which a piano was placed, and musicians in tuxedos played on it.
The long table against the wall is filled with all kinds of delicious food, including seafood and dessert. It can be seen that Long Peikai spent a lot of money at this banquet.
Long Peikai stood on the stage and delivered a speech. "First of all, welcome all the guests. Today, this business exchange meeting was held. I not only met my good nephew William Bryan, but also found my niece Charlotte Collins who had been missing for 12 years by mistake. It is a double happiness. I am very happy..."
He said, and suddenly the conversation turned and looked at Charlee Ford smiling under the stage. He said, "Jiu-Er, I heard that you play the piano very well before. As an uncle, I have never seen it. Fortunately, I have this opportunity today. Why don't you show you a song?"
Twelve years ago in the Collins, but the head of four big families, the Collins and his wife only had Charlotte Collins as a precious daughter, and naturally spent a lot of time and money to cultivate her.
At an early age, she not only studied finance, but also danced and piano lessons. All the standards were trained according to the highest ladies, which made other little girls envy at that time!
Long Peikai's eyes are full of temptation.
Even if ordinary people can play the piano, it is also half-baked, and the pianist in Charlotte Collins was the top pianist abroad at that time.
The apprentice of a top pianist, no matter how bad it is, is outstanding. If Charlee Ford can't play well, her identity will probably be revealed.
"Yes, sister Jiu-Er, I remember seeing you play the piano when I was young. It's called a must. I must see it again when I have this opportunity today!" Lydia Collins embellished the side.
At that time, everyone's eyes were instantly fixed on Charlee Ford.
One of the hottest is from William Bryan.
He has been excellent since childhood, and he also remembers that Charlotte Collins can play the piano, and it is so powerful that even her teacher, the top pianist at that time, was full of praise.
William Bryan shook the wine glass in his hand, his eyes dim.
He is looking forward to what surprises his fiancee, who has been missing for twelve years, will bring him.
Charlee Ford stood up in different eyes. She smiled, walked to the stage, and took the microphone in Long Peikai's hand. "Uncle, I haven't touched the piano for many days. If you don't play well, don't laugh at me."
Long Peikai's eyes flashed a gloom.
Is to want her to play bad, first, he has reasonable reasons to suspect that she is pretending, and second, can't he prove that his daughter is better than her?
"It doesn't matter, I'm sure everyone will understand you." Long Peikai said with a smile.
Charlee Ford nodded and said a word to the tuxedo man who was playing, and the man took the initiative to get out of the way.
She sat in front of the piano, looked at the black and white keys, took a deep breath, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
Her hands fell on the keys, and in a flash, a string of notes leaked out of her hands. Charlee Ford played the fifth chapter of the famous difficult music "Piano Music at Night", which had a very low fault tolerance rate and tested the player's level.
However, this song is like living under her hands, and sometimes cheerful and sometimes sad emphasis attracts all the eyes of the past!
Until the end of a song, everyone still can't return to God for a long time!
Half a minute later, Charlee Ford got up and saluted, and everyone came to their senses. Suddenly, there was a prolonged applause from below!
"Make a fool of yourself." Charlee Ford smiled, his eyes swept around, and unexpectedly turned on a pair of deep black eyes.
William Bryan looked at him with a blank face, his fingers hooked on the wine glass. His face was not amazed at all, but his eyes were faint with a trace of inquiry.
A touch of chagrin appeared under Charlee Ford's heart.
She had just been so carried away that she forgot that William Bryan was still sitting down there. The man didn't doubt her, did he?
"It plays very well, but after twelve years, you can still remember what you learned before. This memory is really good." Long Peikai said gloomily.
"Although I have been away from the Collins for twelve years, I have not made less progress in these twelve years." Charlee Ford said with a smile: "Uncle, aren't you happy? After all, I am the Collins's future successor. It's not good to be excellent."
Trying to trick her?
No way.
Long Peikai's little thoughts, she has been fighting with him for so long, don't you know?
As soon as her words were exported, Long Peikai's face suddenly became very ugly: "The future successor... Yes, I am tired after working hard for so long, but the position of this successor is not so easy to sit on. You have to convince the shareholders of the company."
Long Peikai tightened his hand holding the cup.
He knew that it would be no good for this woman to come back at this time. Sure enough, she came with the Collins's family business.
He made all this with one hand. Why should he give it to others?
"Uncle, rest assured that I will not let you down." Charlee Ford said meaningfully.
Say that finish, she shook her head. "I just came back, and I am still a little tired. I will go back to rest first. Goodbye, uncle."
She stepped off the stage, paused as she passed William Bryan, glanced at him awkwardly, and finally said nothing.
The Collins's villa is very large, and there are naturally many rooms. Under the orders of Long Peikai, the servant arranged a room for Charlee Ford, which is not inferior to Lydia Collins's.
In these superficial efforts, Long Peikai naturally has to do enough, otherwise it is easy to fall behind.
Charlee Ford didn't lie. She was really tired. After entering the room, she checked the camera and made sure it was correct before falling asleep in bed.
When she woke up, it was already dark. She rubbed her confused head and sat up slowly from the bed.
"Pop."
Charlee Ford turned on the bedside lamp in the room.
The bedside instantly cast a shadow, almost covering her whole person. She got a fright and rolled aside subconsciously.
Looking up again, I looked at a pair of deep black eyes, as well as the man's tall figure and the dark and unknown face standing by the bed against the light.
Charlee Ford's eyes widened in surprise.
She recognized him.
"White, William Bryan?" She swallowed her saliva and unconsciously clenched the quilt: "Why are you in my room?"
