Manager Huang left after saying that. Tan Si lowered her eyes and gritted her teeth. She gripped her bag tightly. Thinking about how she had made a wasted trip today, she felt suffocated and found a random place to sit down.
When it was almost 3:30 pm, the host of the venue began the opening ceremony, followed the usual procedures, and finally, took various group photos.
Feng Cai knew that Tan Ming was the amba.s.sador of the China region, so Li Mei asked Feng Cai to bring Tan Ming to take a photo with some entrepreneurs. In the last photo, Li Mei brought Tan Ming to stand quietly at the center.
As soon as Tianqi’s official website posted the photo online, some sharp-eyed people immediately recognized Tan Ming.
[Oh my G.o.d, is this the An’an who partic.i.p.ated in the variety show with Jiang Huai?]
The commenter had only chanced upon that variety show and immediately forwarded the comments to the comment section of Tan Ming’s latest Weibo post. This immediately blew up.
[My An’an’s ident.i.ty is not ordinary! She actually can stand in that position!]
[Hahaha, don’t tell me An’an has a hidden ident.i.ty?]
[This account was registered by An’an in her first year of high school. I’ve already seen it all. She worked part-time in high school and university. She doesn’t look like someone with an alias. It seems that it’s true that her family background isn’t good.]
[I think so too, but she didn’t seem to be able to apply for a student loan in university. If that’s the case, her family background mustn’t be too bad.]
[The feeling she gives me is indeed quite contradictory. Many Weibo posts of hers are posted in a villa area in Sea City, but one year, she almost couldn’t pay her university tuition fees and was nearly expelled. Every year, she works three jobs during the winter and summer holidays and sleeps for five hours a day! How strange.]
[Is it possible that the villa area is where she works? I think she must be related to the people in the villa area.]
Everyone discussed animatedly in the comments section. Suddenly, they all turned into Sherlock Holmes, wanting to pry out this strange aspect of contradiction in Tan Ming.
After the opening ceremony ended, Zheng Wen turned to look at Si Cheng appraisingly. “What’s up with Tan Ming? Did you bring her in?!”
Si Cheng looked at his mother and shook his head. “1 don’t know how she got in either.”
Zheng Wen saw that her son did not seem to be faking it, so she did not ask further. However, she could not help but smack him a few times. “So she’s not qualified. However, on account of her clean background, she was forced to marry into the Si family and serve you. Now that she knows that you want to divorce her, she’s exposed her true colors. It seems like she’s determined to degrade herself and become a despicable actress. Hurry up and settle the procedures with her. Our Si family’s daughter-in-law must be a well-mannered ladylike girl!”
At the end of the day, it was all the same old tune. Si Cheng’s ears were almost callused from listening to it. His experience of perfunctorily obliging his mother was even better than before. He nodded repeatedly and his att.i.tude was extremely good. Only then did Zheng Wen shut her mouth in satisfaction.
Zheng Wen had gained a lot this time. She got to know a couple who started an educational inst.i.tution. When she saw that they seemed to be ready to leave the venue, she hurriedly pulled Si Cheng over.
Zheng Wen greeted Madam Bai and her husband and introduced them to Si Cheng. “Let me introduce them to you. This is your Uncle Bai and Auntie Bai.”
Si Cheng looked at the unfamiliar couple and greeted them with a smile. “h.e.l.lo, Uncle Bai and Auntie Bai.”
The Bai couple quickly sized up Si Cheng and nodded in satisfaction. “CEO Si is really talented and young. It must be hard for you to manage such a big company alone, right?”
Other than Tan Ming, Si Cheng never really lost control of his emotions in front of others, so he was good at putting on an act. He was already handsome, and when he smiled, he looked even more gentle and polite. “It’s alright. I’m already used to it.”
The two of them chatted for a while more before Zheng Wen sent her son away. She said helplessly to Bai Feng and Mi Li, “This child’s head was only filled with books when he was studying. Now that he’s working, he’s become a workaholic. He hasn’t had any girlfriends. His father and 1 are so anxious.”
Mi Li was very satisfied with Si Cheng. She held Zheng Wen’s hand and praised, “CEO Si has so much to offer. What’s there to worry about!”
Seeing that the Bai couple’s att.i.tude towards her was much more enthusiastic than before, Zheng Wen revealed a smug expression. After all, her son was outstanding!
However, Zheng Wen still smiled politely and replied, “Yes, he’s not bad. It’s just that I haven’t met anyone suitable. His age seems to be rising. How can 1 not be anxious? You’ve migrated overseas for so many years. Now that you’re back, you must miss the food in Sea City..”
