Zheng Weiqian subconsciously looked around, trying the find at least a shadow of that person. “Weiqian! Who are you looking for?” Lin Xuanxuan couldn"t help but ask.
Zheng Weiqian scanned the entire room again but couldn"t spot that person or Fang Rui. They must not have arrived yet, he thought.
“Nothing, we should go greet the host.” Zheng Weiqian took two gla.s.s of wine from a waiter and handed one to Lin Xuanxuan as they walk towards Fang Minghao.
“Uncle Hao, congratulations! Fangshi is getting bigger and bigger.” Zheng Weiqian toasted.
“Weiqian came ah! Yi, who is this young lady?” Fang Minghao looked at Lin Xuanxuan. Because he spent most of the time in the U.S., he doesn"t usually read any entertainment news so he doesn"t recognize her.
“This is the Lin family"s daughter, also the famous movie star, Lin Xuanxuan. This is Fangshi Group"s president, Fang Minghao.” Zheng Weiqian introduced them.
She is Lin Zhenyang"s daughter! She looks to be the same age as Fang Yan. He remembered that he didn"t invite any people from the Lin side so she must have been brought over by Zheng Weiqian. Fang Minghao looked at the woman in front of him. From his twenty years of experience in the business world, Fang Minghao was able to not reveal any strange expression on his face as he laughed, “So it is Miss Lin, h.e.l.lo.” He politely greeted, “I usually don"t watch any movies or tv so I wasn"t able to recognize Miss Lin. My apologies.”
“President Fang is too kind. I have always heard of President Fang"s name. Today it is my honor to see you.” Lin Xuanxuan looked moved.
“No, no” Fang Minghao laughed and humble denied.
“Lin Xuanxuan suddenly changed the topic and asked, “President Fang is too modest, we are just afraid that President Fang thinks that our Lin family is too small to enter your eyes. Such a big event, all of Shanghai"s respectable and prestigious figures are gathered together but my Lin family didn"t even receive an invitation.” Lin Xuanxuan was a bit offended by this matter. Linshi still has some influence in Shanghai but Fangshi extended its invitation to a lot of big and small enterprises in Shanghai except for Linshi. This makes one wonder if Fangshi had some opinions about Linshi.
Fang Minghao didn"t expect to ask this. Startled, he quickly responded,” Linshi didn"t receive our invitation?”
Lin Xuanxuan laughed wordlessly. Zheng Weiqian also found it strange that Fangshi didn"t invite Linshi to their opening ceremony as Linshi is one of the best companies in Shanghai.
“You go check it out, Linshi didn"t receive an invitation from the PR department.” Fang Minghao turned and said to the a.s.sistant at his side, his tone serious.
“Huh?” The a.s.sistant was surprised but quickly caught on to his boss"s intention, “I"ll go check.” Fangshi had never cooperated with Linshi. No matter how strong Linshi is, they would always be excluded. Although the staff at the bottom are very puzzled by this, the CEOs at the top unanimously agreed to this so they, as the employees, had no opinion about the matter.
Fang Minghao, of course, knew that the PR didn"t send them an invitation because it was his decision. But since someone had come, he must put on a show on the surface. He said to Lin Xuanxuan with a smile, “The PR Department must have missed it, my apologies. Miss Lin, please forgive me, tell Linshi that it was our mistake.” Having said that, his tone doesn"t seem apologetic.
“President Fang don"t say it like that. By saying this, I had no other meaning, just that if we have a chance to cooperate together in the future, we won"t have any ill-feeling.” Lin Xuanxuan said.
Fang Minghao just smiled. “You guys talk, I will go greet the other guests,” he said and walked away.
“I think that Fangshi deliberately didn"t send the invitation.” Lin Xuanxuan lightly took a sip of her wine and watch Fang Minghao talk to the other guests.
.
Zheng Weiqian looked at her and then Fang Minghao at the distance. He didn"t know if there are any grudges between Fangshi and Linshi but it was clear that the PR Department forgetting the invitation was an excuse. “Let"s go.” As an outsider, he has nothing to say regarding the relationship between Fangshi and Linshi. Moreover, he isn"t here today to celebrate, this is a good chance for him to find an opportunity to cooperate.
.
As he was doing so, Zheng Weiqian casually glanced at the woman sitting on the sofa at the distance who was wearing a black evening gown with light makeup. Dressed like this in such a grand reception, she did not attract much attention. Fang Yan also saw him but seeing that he was looking at her, she began to look elsewhere.
Zheng Weiqian looked at her and found that Fang Rui is not around. It could be said that he hadn"t seen Fang Rui at all today.
Lin Xuanxuan followed his gaze and was surprised to see Fang Yan here. She noticed that Zheng Weiqian"s eyes have been following her. The person he was looking for earlier must be her, he must have known that she would be here.
Lin Xuanxuan quietly said, “Weiqian, introduce some people to me. In the future, I might end up working at Linshi so this will be good for me”
Zheng Weiqian pulled back his gaze and said, “Let"s go.”
When Fang Rui arrived it was already eight. However, what Fang Yan is surprised about is his female partner––Yu Weiya. At the same time, Zheng Weiqian was also shocked by this discovery.
Zheng Weiqian was going to the restroom but who would"ve thought he would stumble upon such an interesting scene.
“Yu Weiya, explain to me what exacting happened.” While Fang Rui is out entertaining the guests, Fang Yan pulled Yu Weiya outside to give her a lecture.
“Yanyan, why are you here?” Yu Weiya didn"t think she would b.u.mp into Fang Yan at this type of place. She originally did not have a say in it, Fang Rui said that he doesn"t have a dance partner and needed to rely on her. Now she had been caught by Yanyan on the spot.
“I"m the one asking questions. Speak, what is your relationship with Fang Rui.” Fang Yan said menacingly.
“One day I was taking Little White out for a walk when he suddenly rushed out onto the road. I chased after him and was. .h.i.t by his car. That was how we met. One night I was talking Little White out for a walk and then––” Under Fang Yan"s tyrannical air, Yu Weiya could only confess everything she knew but it doesn"t seem to make Fang Yan satisfied.
“I"m not asking how you met, I"m asking what is your relationship.” Fang Yan shouted impatiently. What she wants is the result, as for the process, she doesn"t care.
In Zheng Weiqian"s eyes, Fang Yan"s position in this situation is like a former girlfriend being cast aside, and the other woman is her best friend. And then these two people would have a discussion and in the end, there could possibly be a fight.
“We are, actually, we are,” Yu Weiya stuttered, her cheeks dyed red.
“She is my girlfriend, also your cousin-in-law.”
