As Yan Chu was standing on the stage, he didn"t hear those people that were spouting nonsense further behind, so he continued to give his speech.
After Yan Chu spoke, Alexander and the others then gave their speech.
When Alexander"s speech was about to end, he added, "… If you don"t look down on yourself, no matter how others look down on you, you wouldn"t feel inferior. If you look down on yourself, no matter whether others look down on you or not, you would feel inferior. Hence, I hope that all of you can think twice when you say that others look down on you. Is it really others that were looking down on you, or is it you that is looking down on yourself?"
After Alexander finished his speech, everyone gave him and the others a loud round of applause.
Gu Ran Yi had also heard other people speaking ill of Mo Xi, and she was furious and wanted to scold them. However, she couldn"t because her ident.i.ty would not fit if she spoke. Hence, Gu Ran Yi was pleased when Alexander stood up for Mo Xi.
Gu Ran Yi was even more happy to be able to see Alexander s.h.i.+ning on the stage, and she was glad that she agreed to come for the event. She may not know how she felt for Alexander, but she knew that she was happy to see him s.h.i.+ne on stage.
Yan Chu caught the meaning behind Alexander"s words, so when everyone else finished giving their speech, he retook the microphone.
"Our Boss has never offended any of you here before, so please don"t try to defame our Boss. E"s Corporation may be very nice to work together, but it doesn"t mean that we don"t bite if you all go too far."
After he was done, they then proceeded on with the anniversary event.
Yan Chu and the others then mingled around with the people in the hall.
"What do you all think is the relations.h.i.+p between the founder and the CEO and Vice-CEO?"
"I heard that the CEO here and Vice-CEO in Country Y are the founder"s best helpers."
"Even though they are helpers, don"t you feel that the way they protected the founder"s reputation earlier on, was very much like a family?"
"OMG! Could it be that the CEO and VICE-CEO are the founder"s children?"
"It could be! Maybe that"s how they become the founder"s best helpers!"
Jackson and the others were talking with the guests. Hence, they happened to hear the few people who were talking, and they laughed inwardly when they heard what they were guessing.
Yan Chu and the others then walked to Mo Xi and Gu Ran Yi after talking with the other guests.
"I heard people saying that Alex and I are the founder"s children. Mr. Eric, what do you think about this matter?" Yan Chu casually said with a devilishly smile.
Mo Xi raised her eyebrows a little when she heard Yan Chu"s words, "I think Mr. Chu doesn"t want his salary anymore to be talking bad about your Boss in this way."
As Yan Chu"s name in public was Chu Yan, Mo Xi addressed him as Mr. Chu instead of Mr. Yan.
"Mr. Eric, how is this talking bad about my Boss?" Yan Chu continued.
"Saying that your Boss has such an old son, isn"t that talking bad?"
Yan Chu coughed a little, but he decided to disturb Mo Xi today, "Dad, I mean Mom, please don"t deduct my salary."
Jackson, London, and France laughed a little when they heard Yan Chu"s words.
On the other hand, Alexander kept looking at the "man" beside Mo Xi.
Although people in the hall couldn"t hear Yan Chu and the others talking with Mo Xi, Chen Chu Yao and Mo Yu Ze heard their conversation.
Yan Chu knew that Mo Xi didn"t mind if Mo Yu Ze and Chen Chu Yao were to find out about her ident.i.ty because Grandfather Mo knew about it.
Mo Yu Ze and Chen Chu Yao looked at Mo Xi and Yan Chu in shock because Yan Chu called Mo Xi, "Mom". This meant that Yan Chu knew Mo Xi was a girl. Furthermore, they were talking about how others said that Yan Chu was the child of E"s Corporation founder and now Yan Chu called Mo Xi "Mom". Not only that, but Yan Chu also asked Mo Xi not to deduct his salary.
Mo Yu Ze and Chen Chu Yao"s eyes suddenly went wide when they thought of a possibility, but they decided to keep quiet for now since it wasn"t the right time and place to ask.
Alexander continued to look at the "man" beside Mo Xi, and he suddenly realized something.
Alexander then walked forward towards Gu Ran Yi with quick steps, and he looked at her with a warm smile, "You came…"
Just that two words alone made Gu Ran Yi"s heart melted. Alexander"s tone told Gu Ran Yi that he was happy that she came and that he had been eagerly waiting for her to come.
Gu Ran Yi looked up, and their eyes met, "Mm."
"I am delighted that you came. I thought you wouldn"t come today…"
Gu Ran Yi looked towards the side as her face was about to become red from Alexander"s eyes that were looking at her so dearly.
"Today"s Xi Xi"s big day. I don"t want to miss it." And I want to see you s.h.i.+ne.
However, Gu Ran Yi didn"t say the last part.
"Mm. No matter the reason why you came, thank you for coming."
London and France looked at Alexander, and Gu Ran Yi while they were talking, and Mo Xi gave them a rea.s.suring smile.
London and France then realized that the "man" was the lady that Alexander fell in love with!
Although London and France couldn"t wait to know more about the lady, they knew that it wasn"t the right time yet because the lady hadn"t got together with Alexander. Furthermore, the place wasn"t right as well.
