Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Manqing, what are you saying?” Director Li was shocked and immediately scolded her.
It was only then that Zhou Manqing realized that the person beside the woman with the surname Chi was actually President Qi. Zhou Manqing’s expression was stiff, especially when she saw that President Qi was looking at her coldly without any warmth in his eyes. How happy she had been when she rushed over was how uncomfortable she felt right now.
Yu Rong was also afraid that the most promising seedling under her would offend President Qi, so she quickly tried to smooth things over and apologized. She saw that President Qi’s attention was on the young lady beside him.
Yu Rong was startled, and apologized to Chi Shuyan immediately.
In the end, Zhou Manqing had been in this circle for many years. Very quickly, her expression changed. She squeezed out a smile and said, “Miss Chi! Why are you here?”
Zhou Manqing couldn’t help but suspect that this woman in front of her knew how she felt, so she specially brought President Qi of Qi Corporation here to show off.
Very quickly, Assistant Gao’s words interrupted Zhou Manqing’s thoughts. She quickly said, “Sister Zhou, this is Celestial Master Chi!”
Yu Rong and Zhou Manqing’s expressions changed.
After appreciating the interesting expressions of the two women in front of her, Chi Shuyan finally said, “Miss Zhou, long time no see. I am indeed the Celestial Master that you invited. If you have any problems, please tell me about them directly.”
Yu Rong and Zhou Manqing’s faces froze. Director Li and the assistant director beside them finally took note of the words ‘Celestial Master.’ However, the pretty little girl beside President Qi was actually a Celestial Master? The two of them looked at each other.
If not for the fact that it was President Qi who had brought her here, the two of them would have spat out the word ‘liar.’
However, Director Li and the assistant director didn’t dare underestimate the person whom President Qi had brought. Instead, Director Li felt that President Qi had an unusual relationship with this Celestial Master Chi.
Chi Shuyan saw that Yu Rong and Zhou Manqing’s faces were stiff, and they couldn’t say a word. She knew that everyone had their secrets, and she winked at the man beside her. Qi Zhenbai understood his wife’s intentions, and left with Director Li and the assistant director.
When only Chi Shuyan and Zhou Manqing were left, Chi Shuyan smiled. “Miss Zhou, can you talk now?”
Since she was here, she didn’t plan to come for nothing. No matter how bad a personality the person in front of her had, she had to earn back the cost of travel for coming, right?
At that moment, Yu Rong and Zhou Manqing were feeling astonished at seeing this woman make President Qi of Qi Corporation leave with just one look. When had President Qi ever been so good-natured?
Initially, Yu Rong hadn’t thought much of the young lady in front of her. Now, she really couldn’t help but take a few more glances. The more she looked, the more shocked she was. This young lady was indeed good-looking, but the most shocking thing was her eyes. They were lively and sharp.
Zhou Manqing’s expression turned even uglier.
When Chi Shuyan saw that the two of them were silent, she pursed her lips and sipped her tea as she said, “If Miss Zhou doesn’t want to talk about it, please pay for my cost of travel. Thank you!”
Zhou Manqing narrowed her eyes and sized her up for a while. She couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “Miss Chi, you’ve already hooked up with President Qi. You’re still lacking this little bit of money?”
Chi Shuyan curled her lip and said, “He’s him and I’m me. My family is very poor. It’s not easy to earn money on a daily basis! Since Miss Zhou no longer wants this meeting, you won’t renege on the travel cost, right?”
When Zhou Manqing and Yu Rong heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched.
Zhou Manqing narrowed her eyes, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you really a Celestial Master? Which sect are you from? Longhu Mountain or Maoshan Sect?”
“I formed my own faction!” Chi Shuyan said calmly.
Zhou Manqing and Yu Rong looked at each other.
Zhou Manqing hadn’t really believed the woman in front of her to begin with. Now, she believed her even less. She instantly didn’t take the woman in front of her seriously, and planned to get her assistant to compensate her for the cost of travel. Yu Rong, on the other hand, thought differently. After all, the woman had been brought here by President Qi. What if she really had some ability?
Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered to waste time with them. Although she loved money, the condition was that the other party had to believe her. If they didn’t believe her, what was the point?
Seeing the look of disbelief on Zhou Manqing’s face, Chi Shuyan prepared to leave. Before she left, she would ask them to transfer the travel cost to her card.
Yu Rong suddenly shouted, “Celestial Master Chi, wait!”
