âRongrong, werenât we supposed to help your uncle liven up the atmosphere at the banquet today?
Wouldnât doing it this way be inappropriate?â
âWhatâs wrong with it?
This is much classier than the circles you used to hang out in.
You might even catch a few âKaysâ.
If youâre coming, stop dithering.â
Xiao Rongrong brought her two girlfriends into the hall.
If it werenât for their various pleas and humble requests yesterday, she wouldnât have agreed to talk to her uncle about bringing these two friends along.
But since youâre here, youâd better listen to me, and letâs see how you dare to laugh at me secretly again!
...
âUgh, itâs so annoying, you dressed up so nicely, there must be a lot of people coming over to chat you up.
Didnât a few playboys ask for your Sky Communication number just now?â
The light-hearted banter among the three girls not only didnât annoy the people around them but also attracted many approving glances.
In a banquet, every move of a beautiful woman is a feast for the eyes, isnât it?
A man wearing a tailcoat, with a badge resembling a cloud pinned on his chest.
His neatly trimmed beard gave him the charm thatâs unique to a man in his thirties.
âMay I have the honor of getting to know the three beautiful ladies?â
The trio giggled, exchanged glances, and happily moved into a conversation.
The hall gradually quieted down.
The band playing nearby also slowly stopped, as the owner of the venue had stepped onto the central stage of the banquet hall.
This vigorous elderly man put on a small headset and cleared his throat, âGood afternoon, guests.
I am Wang Ji, Chairman of Loki Heavy Industry.â
When that aged yet forceful voice spoke, the entire room listened in silence, with everyoneâs attention focused on the center of the venue.
âIt is an honor to meet so many old friends and a lot of new ones at this mid-year gathering.â
âI hope everyone will accompany Loki Heavy Industry in forging even more splendid achievements in the time to come.
Thank you all.â
âTodayâs feast is for casual chat, no need to be formal.
Please, continue the friendly atmosphere from before.â
The old man finished with a slight smile, spreading his arms wide towards the crowd.
Measured music began to play, and his brief but impactful words truly dominated the atmosphere of the hall.
A few minutes earlier, Mu Fan and Fat Brother were wandering around a corner of the hall.
Fat Brother tugged at Mu Fan, who was looking around, and whispered anxiously, âWhat are you doing?â
âLooking for food, why isnât there a buffet like at your place?â Mu Fan said, puzzled.
Fat Brother almost ran out of breath.
Youâre here to eat?
How many of these business banquets serve real food!
Laughing and exasperated, Fat Brother whispered, âThisâŠ
itâs not like my house.
Mind your image; the hotel will serve food at each individual round table.â
As their conversation dropped, the voice of the chairman of Loki Heavy Industry rang out.
âLook, thatâs the Sect Leader of Loki Heavy Industry, the real big shot!â Fat Brother said admiringly, pointing towards Old Mr.
Wang Ji while clutching Mu Fanâs arm.
âWow, that girl behind the old man is so pretty!â Fat Brother seemed to have discovered a new world, forcibly directing Mu Fanâs gaze, âLook, look, the girl standing behind, smiling.
Sheâs absolutely a goddess!
Could she be Old Master Wangâs granddaughter?â
Fat Brotherâs casual remark hit the mark unintentionally.
There Mu Fan also saw the tall beauty in a light blue long dress; his vision was several times better than Fat Brotherâs, and even more clearly saw the facial contours of the girl under the soft lighting, the side profile was perfection.
âSheâs indeed pretty.â Mu Fan admitted honestly, finding her more appealing than Fat Brotherâs cousin Shelly.
In his mind, this was clearly a sign of beauty.
âOld Master Wang finished speaking.
Come on, letâs hurry over; we might get a chance to talk to that beauty.â
Fat Brother completely ignored his fatherâs warning; at the sight of this all-ages heartthrob, Fat Brother just couldnât resist.
Ah, she laughed again, and Fat Brotherâs heart was about to melt.
âDidnât Mr.
Wayne say not to go?â
âItâs okay, didnât you see my dad is already moving towards there?â
WellâŠ
With a look of resignation, Mu Fan looked up once more at the girl who had joy in her eyes, especially those watery eyes that felt strangely familiar.
Shaking his head, Mu Fan felt he hadnât recovered yet, and then he was forcibly dragged away by Fat Brother.
Standing behind Wang Ji, Wang Nuonuo smiled, welcoming the friendly and stunning gazes of everyone, her demeanor as a young princess of Loki Heavy Industries undoubtedly shining through.
Graceful and properly dignified, gentle and elegant.
Many young men present sent admiring glances her way.
In their view, the star of todayâs banquet was definitely not the Sect Leader of Loki Heavy Industries, but the pearl-like girl before their eyes.
But they had no idea that Miss Wang Nuonuoâs face was almost stiffening.
Such mask-wearing activities were exhausting.
Facing strangers, people with ulterior motives, and unpleasant folks, she had to offer her smile for the so-called aristocratic etiquette.
Growing up seldom around her parents, Wang Nuonuo had a surprisingly independent mind and rebellious spirit.
The pampering from Old Mr.
Wangji only further distinguished her character from those princess-like girls who were strictly molded by their families since childhood.
But for her familyâs business, she was all in!
Anyway, while she was still young.
Yes, thatâs right, this lady just turned 17 this year.
Thinking of this, Wang Nuonuoâs smile broadened even more.
âThe young lady smiled at me!â A well-built young man was instantly smitten.
âShe must be smiling at me.â Another son of a wealthy family who came along with his father also gave what he thought was his brightest smile.
For a moment, several young men around the venue exchanged smiles.
Each one like a proud rooster, sticking their necks out high.
Afraid that the elf-like girl on the stage wouldnât see them.
Mu Fan inadvertently looked up again at the girl smiling towards the main stage below but was taken aback.
Because he saw that the girlâs eyes were clearly lifeless, it was as ifâŠ
She was zoning out?
âWhy are you dilly-dallying?
Walking like a woman, hurry up.â Once more, Mu Fan felt a tug on his sleeve as Fat Brother seemed like a fighting chinook salmon.
The kind that carries a family along.
âExcuse me, thank you, thank you.â
Fat Brother was trying hard to squeeze toward the main stage but was simultaneously politely apologizing to the people ahead.
The people here all had a certain status, to put it bluntly, the families of the guests likely ranked higher than the Fowen Consortium from Loga Star.
No one would stoop to argue with a chubby guy.
His bow tie was askew, and Fat Brotherâs face was already beading with a thin layer of sweat under the cool air, but he still did not give up pulling Mu Fan along.
Hmm?
Couldnât pull him anymore?
