The obscure sapphire blue carried a reserved mystery that he could not see through. The memories that had been set aside in the corner of his heart seemed to have suddenly been awakened. Then, it began to leave him slowly again…
Upfront, the host had finally returned to his senses. He could not hold his excitement back as he announced the news regarding the arrival of Chairman Mu and the Glory World leaders. The venue then exploded into thunderous applause and cheers.
As the applause went on, Mu Yuchen had already reached the side of the main seat. Zhou Zimo looked bemusedly at him, but when he saw Xi Xiaye by his side, his eyes could not help but reflect with astonishment. Then, he nodded slightly to greet her and Xi Xiaye pleasantly acknowledged in return.
“Chairman Mu is here!” The few business partners and government officials who sat at the table stood up too.
Mu Yuchen’s handsome face had an easy expression as he said gently, “Apologies for making everyone wait. Let’s sit.”
He then pulled out the seat beside him, plainly gazing at Xi Xiaye. After that, he pulled another seat next to Zhou Zimo out and sat down.
The implication was obvious and the row of people standing was bewildered when they saw Mu Yuchen do that. They could not help but be shocked.
This woman could actually make Chairman Mu prepare a seat for her. In fact, it was to be right beside him. Nothing like this had ever happened before!
Everyone knew that the usually low-profile and cold Chairman Mu had never had any female dates appear by his side. He was known for being distant from female charms. Even though he gave people a gentle and peaceful feeling, when one got closer to him, one could always feel his reservations and how he would always seem out-of-reach.
However, now…
They could tell that the woman was special. At least, she could receive Master Mu’s special treatment.
Many people who saw this scene were slightly envious of Xi Xiaye. They looked at her, their eyes filled with shock. Some were in admiration, but there were also envy and unhappiness coming from people such as Huang Shanshan who was sitting a few tables away.
When she saw Mu Yuchen’s silver-gray figure, she was instantly stunned. Her entire being was in a daze and there was something that could not be disguised in her beautiful eyes. It was something that could be called infatuation.
However, when she had a closer look and saw that the woman dressed in the gorgeous blue dress gracefully yet teasing the room with a flirtatious elegance was Xi Xiaye, she felt her entire body stiffen. Her sweet face turned a little tensed as she stared coldly at the flash of blue…
Not too far away from Huang Shanshan, when Su Nan saw this scene, she was stupefied. She held onto Ruan Heng tightly and stared at Xi Xiaye’s figure. Her beautiful eyes could not help but flicker with some emotional tears.
Yes, in her dream scenario, Xi Xiaye had always been this elegant and enchanting. She was the real princess! As long as she was willing, she should be able to easily have everyone’s eyes fixed on her just like that, and not like that cheap good who thought that she could become a beautiful princess just by putting on a beautiful gown.
“How wonderful! We can finally suppress that slut’s limelight. I told you that our Xiaye’s the most outstanding one, not at all like that arrogant peacock,” Su Nan could not help but chastise. She also did not miss the way Huang Shanshan seemed miserable. Smiling with disdain, she threw her a glance somewhat provokingly, angering Huang Shanshan whose little face reddened.
…
The event took quite a while to quiet down but eventually, the crowd went back to their seats. Zhang Lan and the rest had spread out to sit with several important guests. The venue started to play a piece of upbeat opening music.
Xi Xiaye sat beside Mu Yuchen right at that moment.
The working crew rushed over to ask for instructions. “Chairman Mu, can we begin the launch?”
Mu Yuchen took a handkerchief that the waiter delivered and handed it to Xi Xiaye as he nodded.
Xi Xiaye took it and wiped her hands. When she turned to him, she saw that he was wiping his hands and speaking to Zhou Zimo as well as two other unfamiliar middle-aged men who were dressed impeccably.
One of the middle-aged men had his gaze resting on Xi Xiaye. He finally could not help but ask, “And this is…?”
Xi Xiaye was about to speak up. However, Mu Yuchen, who was smiling and chatting away with the other two middle-aged men, was a step ahead of her. He lifted a hand to fix Xi Xiaye’s slightly messy shawl, immediately announcing his ownership as he smiled and looked at the man who had asked. “Bureau Chief Huang, you seem to be admiring my date, eh? Xiaye, this is Bureau Chief Huang from the city bureau.”
Xi Xiaye nodded politely at the man. “Nice to meet you, Bureau Chief Huang. I’m Xi Xiaye.”
The man smiled unnaturally and answered, “Oh, it’s Director Xi! I’ve admired your reputation for a long time…” Then, he did not continue.
Xi Xiaye frowned and glanced at Mu Yuchen. He was being rather frank, immediately announcing her as his date.
Still, before she could ponder further, the host had already begun to announce the launch onstage. The popping of gun salutes was heard while paper flowers filled the sky, eddying down. The event was instantly jubilant with celebration as everyone raised their drinks and stood up, making toasts and reveling.
Next up, Vice President Zhang Lan went up the stage to introduce Glory World’s leadership team before thanking the guests for coming, and lastly, making a short report.
The banquet’s atmosphere very quickly became intense.
There were sounds of wine glasses clinking among the cheering while a joyous piano tune was played. Amidst the relaxing and gentle music, the host smiled onstage and said to everyone, “Once again, we’d like to welcome and thank everyone for coming. Next up, let’s invite Glory World’s Planning Director, and the person-in-charge of the Imperial Sky Entertainment City project, Miss Xi Xiaye who will introduce Imperial Sky Entertainment City. Let’s give our elegant and beautiful Director Xi a round of applause!”
The instant the host finished, the venue exploded into thunderous clapping again and the crowd had already turned to look towards the main seat.
When the spotlight instantly fell onto Xi Xiaye, the crowd’s eyes followed too and the media photographed away, making her frown a little uncomfortable. She only got used to the attention after a brief moment.
“Where’s our Director Xi?”
Onstage, the host had very cleverly maintained the mood of the event and chuckled lightly. In the meantime, the crowd had already caught sight of Xi Xiaye who sat beside Mu Yuchen.
When Xi Xiaye heard the host, she instantly smiled and slowly got up. Taking a look at the stage, she then lowered her head to whisper by the man’s ear, “Where’s my script?”
Mu Yuchen looked at Li Si who had walked over in time. Li Si quickly handed a draft of a speech to Xi Xiaye. “It’s here, Director Xi.”
Taking it, she flipped it and confirmed that it was her speech before she nodded and thanked him. She gently pulled at the shawl that slid down her shoulder before strolling towards the stage.
