There were only three days left until the New Year. Ji"s Group had reaped a bountiful harvest this year, and at the end of the year, they would hold a celebratory feast, which was also within expectations. In the past, the celebratory feast was always held by Ji Xiaohan himself, so this time, it was naturally different.
Ji Xiaohan sent out more than two hundred invitations. Among the guests, there were elders, high-ranking political experts, and even n.o.bles of the business circles.
Early in the morning, the snow had stopped for several days. The rare sunrise was even more pleasing to the eyes and filled with hope for the coming year.
When the last list was read out, Wu Tie closed the notebook and asked curiously, "Gao Yue is not on the invitation list, but the invitation indicates that you can attend with your girlfriend. I wonder what kind of ident.i.ty Gao Yue will be looking for now."
"If she doesn"t come this time, then there"s no need for me to continue acting. But if she does, then one of her feet is equivalent to stepping into my trap. I want to see what kind of trick she"s playing!" Ji Xiaohan hated being tricked the most, which was why he was so angry.
"Yeah, I think this Gao Yue definitely came with a purpose." Lu Qing also sneered.
This banquet of the Ji"s Group was set to be held in a seven star hotel, which would be reserved for all of the distinguished guests. Every guest would have a room to rest in, and after being reserved for two whole days, it would be sufficient for this group of distinguished guests to have a good rest.
Gao Yue woke up early in the morning. It was around six o"clock and she was already trying out her new dress.
There were two sets because for the two days of celebration for the Ji"s Group, she had to make the most perfect preparations. One set showed her mature woman"s charm, while the other set was pure and simple.
"Such a beautiful woman. Ji Xiaohan, I don"t believe that you won"t take another look at me." Gao Yue knocked herself closer to the mirror, looking at her charming and beautiful face. She was too narcissistic.
She even stretched out her hand and caressed her white cheeks. Finally, she extended two fingers and lightly kissed herself.
"Gao Yue, you have to successfully attract his attention this time. You can"t fail again!" She set a goal for herself. If she didn"t succeed this time, she wouldn"t have the face to seduce Ji Xiaohan. Zhang Lu would definitely pick another woman to test her and she would be the one to lose her reputation for the rest of her life.
Gao Yue was almost done with her preparations when she heard her phone ring. She walked over leisurely with a smirk on her face, took her phone and put it to her ear. "Cousin, are you leaving?"
"I came to pick you up, hurry up and come down." It was indeed Gao Yue"s cousin, but he was not close. He could be counted as a relative in the distance. Gao Yue came straight to him because she knew he could take a girl with him, but that man was happy to take her there.
"Alright, I"ll go downstairs now and wait for you!" Gao Yue smiled merrily as she hung up the phone, confirming her makeup in the end. It was perfect.
When they got downstairs, Gao Yue got into the man"s car.
Cousin, it"s so beautiful today. Did you take a fancy to a man? You want to take this opportunity to get to know each other? " "Her cousin, a man in his thirties, glanced at Gao Yue with a colourful eye and asked her jokingly.
"Cousin, if I really find a boyfriend, you will be the one to contribute the most. I will never forget this favor." Gao Yue immediately smiled with a complacent expression.
"Looks like they really have a goal. Who is it?" Would you like elder cousin to introduce us? "
"There"s no need for that. I just hope that cousin can bring me to the banquet hall. I can take care of the rest myself!" Gao Yue didn"t dare to say who she was after. She was afraid that her cousin would feel her wishful thinking.
Gao Yue successfully held her cousin"s hand and stepped into the banquet hall. The entire building was reserved by Ji Xiaohan, and each of the guests received two room cards. They were all enjoying this luxurious feast.
"Ji Xiaohan is full of anger, it"s really enviable. You can do whatever you want with money. Cousin, if you were to marry such a man, how glorious would you be in your life?" Cousin Gao Yue looked at the palace like banquet hall with an emotional expression. The waiters who came and went were all carefully selected.
Gao Yue"s heart shuddered as she raised her head to look at the magnificent hall. Every detail on the hall revealed the wealth of a man.
"Cousin, do you think I"m that lucky?" Gao Yue suddenly felt inferior. When she came out of her 200 square meters suite and stood under the light, she realized that her confidence and pride at home had been ruthlessly broken. She looked at the aristocrats who were all dressed up like blossoming flowers, looking extremely charming and elegant. She then looked at herself, although these two dresses were specially sent over by Zhang Lu, and it was a unique design, but in this world where money ran rampant, there was no more expensive, only the most expensive.
"Wake up. Ji Xiaohan is married. He already has a child. Don"t have such a beautiful dream." Her cousin kindly reminded her.
Gao Yue instantly looked as if she had suffered a blow. Her beautiful eyes were filled with resentment as she stared at the back of her cousin.
Since her own people were pouring cold water on her, she must have come to the wrong place today.
"Cousin, why don"t you take a stroll around? Cousin seems to have met an acquaintance. Let"s go have a look first!" Suddenly, her cousin left her alone and walked towards a beautiful woman who was not far away. As soon as he walked past her, he put his arm around her waist and kept walking downstream.
"Humph!" Gao Yue knew that her cousin"s evaluation of him wasn"t very good, and it seemed like she wasn"t surprised anymore.
Gao Yue was actually quite worried because she was afraid that Ji Xiaohan didn"t come alone. If he brought his wife along, then she really wouldn"t be able to find any opportunities.
While Gao Yue was standing in the lobby, having a dilemma, Lu Qing turned around at the railing of the second floor and walked towards a lounge.
On the sofa in the living room, a n.o.ble and elegant figure was leaning lazily. Her long and slender legs were crossed together and she held a cigarette in her hand. She was deep in thought while exhaling green smoke.
"He"s here, young master!" Lu Qing walked in quickly and said the moment he entered the door.
"Ha!" Ji Xiaohan pushed the cigarette b.u.t.t into the ashtray in a
oyance.
"young master, I don"t think she"s giving up until she gets to the Yellow River. In this one month, she"s been trying to get close to you. She wouldn"t really think she"s a Heavenly Immortal, right?" Lu Qing also sneered and said.
"Have you seen a Celestial Immortal who is so eager for quick success?" Aren"t fairies supposed to be otherworldly beings? " Ji Xiaohan raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"young master is right. I am exaggerating a little too much. In my eyes, only Young Mistress can be considered a Heavenly Immortal." Lu Qing"s mouth immediately turned sweet.
Ji Xiaohan rolled his eyes at him. Recently, this a.s.sistant seemed to have become more su
y and cheerful. He wondered if it was related to that girl called Liu Xiaoxing.
Love was indeed a good medicine.
"Youyou, you should listen to these nice words of yours. She will definitely like them!" Ji Xiaohan laughed and teased him.
Lu Qing"s body trembled and he broke out in a cold sweat: "young master, don"t misunderstand, I don"t dare!"
Ji Xiaohan"s smile deepened. He stood up from the sofa and walked in front of Lu Qing. He patted his shoulder and said, "Then tell it to your cute girlfriend. I believe she will like it too!"
"young master, are you making fun of me?" Lu Qing was embarra.s.sed and his face turned red.
"Let"s get to know each other when we meet. Youyou and I will treat you to a meal!" Ji Xiaohan still cared a lot about Lu Qing"s love life. After all, Lu Qing was alone and had no family to support him. Ji Xiaohan was one year older than him and also his superior, so he naturally wanted to help Lu Qing.
"young master, thank you!" Lu Qing was so touched that his eyes turned red.
"Why are you saying such polite words? I really want to see you find your beloved person to form a happy family. You"re too lonely!" Ji Xiaohan sighed.
Lu Qing didn"t know what to say. Perhaps, he could only repay the boss who gave him his second life with a more loyal and enthusiastic att.i.tude.
"Let"s go meet this woman!" Ji Xiaohan straightened his clothes and walked out of the room.
