184 Young and Promising
The Zhou family on the other side of the stage erupted in thunderous applause. It was a stark contrast to the other side. It could be said that some were happy, while others were sad.
“Congratulations, President Zhou.”
“You’re really young and promising.”
“You’re indeed a role model for the younger generation.”
Everyone came to congratulate him.
Just as everyone was happy, Tang Li’s expression was extremely ferocious. The faint intense pain made her hug her stomach and slowly squat down. Just as the assistant beside her was still at a loss, Tang Li’s lower body had already made popping sounds from time to time. After a three-second pause, the stench spread around.
Many people beside him covered their noses and muttered softly, “Who farted?”
“Why is it so smelly? I smell it too.”
However, the moment everyone saw Tang Li squatting on the ground and holding her stomach, they understood where the stench came from.
Dong Peng was very puzzled. “What happened? Why did Tang Li become like this?”
Shan Yue turned sideways and smiled teasingly. “Uncle Dong, what do you think?”
“So…” Dong Peng immediately understood. “You drugged her?”
There was no need for Shan Yue to admit such a situation. She saw Tang Li quickly leave the venue with the help of a few people. She kept saying, “Toilet, toilet!”
While everyone was still watching the commotion, Zhou Xuan came to Shan Yue alone. “Thank you, but I can’t find a reason why you want to help me.” After retracting his cold face, Zhou Xuan exuded a manly aura. His mature and tall figure appeared in the dim environment, making it impossible for anyone to refuse.
Shan Yue smiled slightly, her face filled with mockery. “I’m not trying to help you. I’m just making those who want to harm Dong Yan pay the price on account that he’s my disciple.” As she spoke, her eyes gradually became serious, making one shudder. “After all, no one can touch the people around me without paying any price.”
“It seems,” Zhou Xuan chuckled. “Miss Shan’s temper is not small.”
“Same to you.” She retracted her sharp eyes and a smile appeared on Shan Yue’s face again. “I still have to congratulate you, CEO Zhou, for successfully winning this project. However, don’t forget our bet. You still owe me a request.”
Zhou Xuan’s tone slowly decreased, and he lowered his head slightly. “You’re right. If not for you and President Dong today, I wouldn’t have been able to get this project. I was careless.”
The chairman of the Zhou Corporation, Zhou Xuan, who was known for his coldness and arrogance, would one day admit that he was inferior to others. This was unbelievable.
Shan Yue nodded and smiled. “It’s okay. I told you, I’ll help you get it.”
Looking at the confident girl in front of him, Zhou Xuan’s heartstrings seemed to be gently plucked, emitting a slight tremor that he had never experienced before.
As the dust settled, Shan Yue did not continue to talk to him. Instead, she stretched out her delicate fingers and placed them on the side of his shoulder. She smiled and left beside Zhou Xuan.
Leaving behind a violet fragrance that surrounded Zhou Xuan.
“Wait, Miss Shan Yue, there’s something else!” Zhou Xuan suddenly stopped her. The expression in his eyes was faintly discernible in his drooping hair, giving off a hazy feeling. His tone became calm and steady. “After handing over the project to the person-in-charge, we can enjoy a free trip to Las Vegas. If Miss Shan is free, why don’t you go with us?”
Zhou Xuan, who had never been close to women, actually invited the opposite sex one day. If the female employees in the company found out, their jaws would definitely drop.
Las Vegas was known as one of the three largest casinos in the world. The title was not for nothing. Some people might have started from gambling, or their families might have been destroyed. The extremes of human fate were vividly reflected here.
An idea appeared in Shan Yue’s mind. Her company was just in its infancy, so money was naturally the most important. With her current financial strength, she would definitely not be able to maintain the company for a long time. Everything else could be prepared later, but the money had to be prepared in advance.
It just so happened that she could take this opportunity to completely resolve the funding problem and get rid of her worries. After some consideration, Shan Yue firmed her mind.
