Zhou Simo smiled and nodded, gently shaking Zhang Lan’s hand. The smile on his handsome face was particularly tender and it made everyone on the side screech. The few slightly famous female celebrities who followed behind his car also blushed and felt their hearts beat faster.
“Hasn’t your Chairman Mu arrived yet?” Zhou Simo smiled and asked.
“He should be here soon. Earlier, a.s.sistant Li Si came over too. In fact, the launch is starting soon. CEO Zhou, let’s go in first,” Zhang Lan greeted appropriately.
Zhou Zimo nodded cheerfully. “This guy is always rushing to enter last as if he’s waiting for those few minutes. Let’s go in first. I want to sit at the same table as him.”
Before Zhang Lan could reply, he walked right in.
Just as Zhang Lan smiled and was about to enter, there was a commotion and loud cheering from behind. He turned and saw that at the staircase earlier, a white sports car had stopped. The person in the car was a famous movie star, Caitlin, while an equally popular singer, Lin Ling followed after in a limousine. There were even some super popular models and A-list celebrities. It was quite a spectacular scene.
The moment all these big shots got down from the car, many of the fans who had waited for a long time rushed up recklessly, shrieking and shouting in excitement. They begged for a photo or an autograph. Even if all these personalities had brought along personal bodyguards, they could not hold back this large group of zealous fans.
The fan groups held up their banners, waving signs to display their love as they rushed up madly like a surging tide. Caitlin and the rest could only smile and take group photos with their respective fans or give them their autographs.
Caitlin and Lin Ling were both spokespeople that Glory World Corporation had just signed on. Like Xi Xinyi, they were both very popular A-list celebrities and were loved by millions of fans.
Today, they had also dressed glamorously, hungry to steal everyone’s attention. Caitlin wore a brightly-colored, gorgeous Empress-style cheongsam , appearing rather charismatic.
On the other hand, Lin Ling took the lady-like route. She wore a light-colored embroidered qipao that had double-layers. Her bright and beautiful face was like a blooming lotus flower whilst her manners were elegant and enchanting.
All three of the super A-list female stars, including Xi Xinyi who had not yet arrived, were all personalities of interest at this launch because apart from them competing to be Imperial Sky Jewellery City’s main spokesperson, if they were lucky, they would become Glory World Corporation’s face that would advance into the s...o...b..z industry. All eyes would be on them and their future would be limitless.
The security guards spent a lot of effort before they managed to calm the crowd down. The few celebrities finally stepped onto the red carpet and waved at their fans as they walked into the venue.
The venue was pretty happening inside too. One could hear the shrieks and cheers at the entrance when the crowd looked over to the door and saw that Caitlin and the rest were walking on the red carpet in a high-profile manner as blinding photography flashes from various media highlighted their presence. All of them had easy-mannered smiles.
One after another, they displayed their gracefulness with all they had and the atmosphere suddenly turned livelier. The crowd was all staring intensely at the beautiful scene on the red carpet, their eyes filled with admiration.
Even Su Nan could not help but excitedly shriek with her fists pumping in the air. “It’s Caitlin! Ruan Heng, it really is Caitlin! Oh my G.o.d, I really love her! And that man beside her, he’s the remarkably popular best male lead actor, Ming Yu! Pinch me! Am I seeing this right?! It feels like I’m dreaming!”
As she exclaimed, she clutched onto Ruan Heng who thought that his arm was about to be bruised from her grasp.
“And that woman is Lin Ling! Drop-dead beautiful!”
Su Nan’s eyes kept staring at the red carpet ahead, yet when she looked to the back and saw a flash of gaudy red, her face instantly sank. She could not help but say gloomily, “Why is she here too? And dressed so s.e.xily and provokingly! Why is she trying to get in on the action?!”
Ruan Heng followed Su Nan’s gaze and looked over to see Huang Shanshan clinging onto the CEO of their company, CEO w.a.n.g, and was walking on the red carpet. She was dressed in flaming red and looked particularly attractive, oozing with sultriness.
It made Su Nan unhappy and her face darkened. What made her even angrier came after, heralded by the excited shrieks from the entrance. She looked up and saw—
It was Xi Xinyi and Han Yifeng!
“Wow, she thinks she’s an Oscar-award winning best actress, wanting to act like a big shot, and even using bodyguards to opened up a pathway! This b.i.t.c.h is fronting again. Doesn’t she know that fronting is short-lived while a b.i.t.c.h like her is forever?”
Su Nan was harsh with her words. When she saw Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi walking with four bodyguards in black surrounding them, her eyes were practically spitting fire. She did not care about her image.
With the way she cursed, the people around could not help but throw odd glances at Su Nan. Ruan Heng could only pull on her arm and remind her, “Nan Nan, watch yourself. We’re in public.”
“So what if we’re in public? Look at the way she smiles! Those who didn’t know would think that she’s so pure and kind, but she’s actually just a hypocritical white lotus flower. How pretentious! Just watching her disgusts me!”
Su Nan did not make an exception – she was always like that. As long as she felt good about it, she could disregard whatever image she had. She did not know the others anyway, so she did not care what they thought.
“I’m just reminding you that you should leave some face for Xiaye. We’re specially invited guests of Xiaye. Don’t embarra.s.s her. Look, they’re all watching you!” Ruan Heng said helplessly.
Then, Su Nan started to restrain herself and turned to look at those people who stared at her. Glaring at them for a while, she then stopped herself.
Amidst the upbeat opening music and the crowd’s cheers, the round of contesting for attention finally slowed down. With the awaited personalities’ arrival and after they sat in their respective seats, the launch was about to begin. The emcee upfront had already begun speaking to sustain the lively mood at the venue.
At this moment, at the venue entrance.
Pa.s.sing through the gentle, warm light, the Bentley finally slowed down to a stop.
“Chairman Mu!”
When they saw the car stop, Liu Lingyu, Zhang Lan, Wen Haiming, and the other upper management leaders, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed up to greet him.
Before Ah Mo could open the door, Mu Yuchen had already pushed the door open and got down by himself. Just as he stood steadily, he reached into the car and asked Zhang Lan and the rest plainly, “Is everyone here?”
“Everything’s in order. We’re just waiting for you, Chairman Mu.” Just as Zhang Lan said this, the few of them saw Xi Xiaye swiftly get down from the car.
“Director Xi!”
They were practically dumbfounded. A second ago, they were still surprised by whoever had the honor to be their Chairman Mu’s date. As they gaped at the elegant Xi Xiaye, they were stunned for a moment.
They had never seen Director Xi dress this glamorously before!
Usually, she would be dressed in her strict and low-profiled black business suit!
