Chapter 809: Si Zhengting, What Exactly Are You Hiding? (5)
Si Zhengting lowered his eyes. After a moment, he said, “Let them in.”
“Understood.” Ji Chen turned toward the door.
Actually, Zhuang Nainai knew why Su Yanbin couldn’t enter any longer. It was because of her. There were surveillance cameras outside the hotel. Perhaps the security officer at the entrance could also recognize her. Thus, she was unsure if she could enter the premises.
Cheng Sizhe handed over his invitation to the security officer. The security officer scanned it once, then studied it again in detail.
This extra attention made Zhuang Nainai’s heartbeat race.
Not long after, the security officer handed the invitation back to Cheng Sizhe. “Mr. Cheng, Ms. Zhuang, please.”
Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief.
She linked arms with the man and entered the premises, seeing many familiar faces as she strode in.
This group of people was at the last board of directors meeting that Si Guangsong had organized.
If Zhuang Nainai could recognize them, they would definitely be able to recognize her in return.
Thus, when the couple entered the premises, everyone couldn’t help but stare at this odd couple. One was the former Mrs. Si and the other, a stranger.
On the other hand, Zhuang Nainai was observing what was going on at this ball.
All the attendees of this little business networking event were renowned in the business world.
A sense of elegance also permeated the entire ball.
Zhuang Nainai could feel that everyone here was well-read and cultivated. Most of the people here were well aware of their own status, but they were not openly sizing her up, nor were they openly sneering at her.
She was just receiving a bit more attention than others.
Zhuang Nainai’s gaze started to wander across the room. Her gaze flickered toward the floor above as she thought about finding out where Si Zhengting was resting.
But all the rooms on the floor above looked the same, and there were a couple of floors within a presidential suite. It was too difficult to look for a person.
She wondered if the attendant would tell her the truth if she were to ask the attendant where Si Zhengting was.
Zhuang Nainai sighed.
At this moment, someone suddenly appeared before them both and extended their hand to Cheng Sizhe. “Mr. Cheng, you’re really here! You’re really gracing our event with your presence!”
Zhuang Nainai was shocked by his words.
This person was an old shareholder of the Imperial Group, and he was someone with a considerable presence in the company.
But the level of respect that he was showing this Cheng Sizhe was almost equivalent to the level of respect that he would’ve shown Si Zhengting!
Zhuang Nainai turned around and looked at Cheng Sizhe. Just who was this man?
As someone had publicly announced Cheng Sizhe’s ident.i.ty, the surrounding people gathered around and greeted him warmly.
The impression that Cheng Sizhe gave people was that he was warm and elegant. As he spoke, Zhuang Nainai realized that the people who were gathered around him were charmed. But as she thought more deeply about what he was saying, she realized that his words were vague and non-committal.
The vibes that he gave off were completely different from Si Zhengting’s.
Although both were elegant, Cheng Sizhe was more likable and approachable. It seemed that the people who were gathered around him were more comfortable interacting with him.
As Zhuang Nainai was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard a commotion coming from a distance. Before she could look up, she heard someone say, “Mr. Si is here!”
Mr. Si is here?!
Zhuang Nainai jerked her head up and saw that tall and well-built figure approaching from a distance!
