"If you say Li Xiaoru is smart, well, she's a top - notch overseas returnee. But if you say she's stupid, she doesn't even know how to toast someone important to build a connection!"
Shen Shiyu, standing there blithely, was afraid that the matter wasn't making enough of a stir.
"Who in the world holds their glass so high when toasting someone of high status? And she even took off her bracelet. It's clearly a sign that she thinks the person isn't even worth the value of that bracelet. It's a double - edged insult!"
Bo Siming picked up a shrimp and put it on her plate. "Even food can't shut your mouth."
"Right. Talk less and eat more!" Yang Wan warned her again.
"… Okay, okay. Stop scolding me all the time."
Shen Shiyu pouted, envy written all over her face as she peeled the shrimp shell.
If she had that kind of status, would she still have to kowtow to these two? She'd kick them into the Pacific Ocean to freeze in a heartbeat.
"Danni, shall we go over and say hello?" Susan urged.
"Going over to say hello at this moment is like walking straight into a trap."
As soon as Tian Danni said this, she saw Su Minghan standing up with Xiao Shujing.
"See, I told you. If you don't act, others will beat you to it!"
She didn't care about those old - fashioned ways of rushing to get ahead.
Ahairei taking a fancy to her for a photoshoot was because of her strength and the value she had that their company needed.
If one could befriend that president with just a few words, Ahairei wouldn't have developed to where it was now, firmly sitting at the top in Yancheng.
"Bet you, they'll all be shot down in less than five minutes."
Tian Danni sipped her wine leisurely, wearing a smile as if watching a show.
"Excuse me, everyone. President Wen has something very important to attend to." A Kun's attitude was strict and calm, creating an aura that made people keep their distance.
"President Wen, please don't be mad at my daughter!"
Li Rui was on the verge of kneeling and begging.
Seeing the crowd gathering around, Shen Ximan decided to call it quits after getting what she wanted.
"Fine. Have her design a work that can really catch my eye. Then I'll consider forgiving her previous mistakes," she scanned the people in front of her and pointed at one of them. "Let her be the spokesperson."
"As the autumn new product of Ahairei, it will be launched together."
Xiao Shujing was completely stunned. "Me? Is it me?"
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank President Wen!"
Su Minghan showed his teeth excitedly. "It's really our honor to be recognized by you. We'll definitely do our best…"
"No," Shen Ximan interrupted him. "Go all out."
He paused for a few seconds and quickly replied, "No problem!"
"I have another requirement."
"Please tell us. Just say it!"
She pointed at Xiao Shujing and Tian Danni at the next table, with a rich smile on her face. "I want the two of them to participate together."
Li Xiaoru's head had been buzzing since just now. Now she was even more at a loss as to how to handle it. "Do you mean design two sets?"
"Is there a problem?"
Shen Ximan's face fell, and she squinted at her.
"No problem! Absolutely not!"
Li Rui and his four sons tried their best to make amends, all smiling obsequiously.
"The second young master will also sponsor the autumn new product, right?"
Her pupils were deep, like a cave in a dark forest, full of crises. One could feel as if they were about to be attacked and left with nothing at any moment.
"Of course." Bo Jingyu swallowed hard and replied without hesitation.
"Then it's settled. I hope your fiancée won't disappoint me." Shen Ximan hooked her arm around A Kun's and left gracefully and nobly.
When passing by Bo Siming's table, she didn't forget to lock eyes with him.
In just three or four seconds, he felt as if he had been spellbound.
She looks so much like…
Those vivid eyes were so much like his white moonlight!
No, it should be said that she looks like Shen Ximan!
Thinking of this, Bo Siming shook his head to deny his previous speculation.
That disgusting woman was probably gasping for breath in the detention center by now. He wished he could dig her image out of his mind to make room.
That woman surnamed Wen just now really tickled his fancy.
Charming, alluring, and exuding an irresistible charm.
If he could get such a woman and then firmly sit in the position of the president of the Bo Group, wouldn't Bo Siming be like a tiger with wings?
"Siming, Siming, do you want to try this cream mushroom soup?"
Shen Shiyu clung to him and held the spoon to his mouth.
But he was lost in thought and didn't respond. She accidentally burned him.
"Hiss!"
"Sorry, sorry. Let me take a look."
She reached out her hand to touch the slightly red corner of Bo Siming's lips.
"Don't touch me!"
He impatiently slapped her hand away, with a very bad attitude.
Yang Wan saw all this and was so scared that her chopsticks dropped.
"I've given you enough face by bringing you here. Can you stop doing these intimate things in public? If it weren't for you and your mother, I should be sitting next to my father!"
Bo Siming frowned menacingly. "Don't provoke me again."
After being scolded, Shen Shiyu didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Okay, okay. People are watching us. Harmony brings wealth. Eat, eat more," Yang Wan forced a smile to smooth things over. Then she pulled Shen Shiyu's arm back and glared at her reproachfully.
Tian Danni drank several glasses of wine, confident of victory.
Su Minghan, who had just returned to his seat, noticed this and smiled. "Drinking alone is no fun. Let's three drink together."
After saying that, he gave Xiao Shujing a look, indicating to clink glasses.
"President Su, I'm quite curious about something."
After clinking glasses with them, she asked with a big smile.
"Yeah, go ahead." Su Minghan tilted his head.
With this slight movement, Tian Danni caught the dissatisfied look in Xiao Shujing's eyes. "Who do you think will win, her or me?"
He helplessly sank his face. "You're participating together. Why do you have to distinguish between winners and losers? The opportunity given by Ahairei is once - in - a - lifetime. You can't cause any trouble."
Sure enough, Su Minghan was still on Xiao Shujing's side.
Although it sounded like they were participating together, in fact, it was to distinguish which one was more outstanding and which one was more representative of the works.
How could such a smart person not know that?
Tian Danni withdrew her thoughts and stood up to pour wine.
"Here's to our first successful cooperation."
Seeing her initiative, Xiao Shujing also stood up and clinked glasses with her.
"Cheers to our cooperation."
The ceremony ended soon. Bo Jingyu, sitting in the lounge, didn't change out of his suit. Instead, he sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
That woman named Wen Jinrui just now was so familiar.
Whether it was her voice, her form, or her subconscious actions, he could always associate her with Shen Ximan. He even suspected deep down in his heart.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Come in."
"Second master, the eldest young master and the old master have been sent back first."
Ruo Chi closed the door and reported.
"Go to the hospital and watch over grandpa. Ask Qianli to do something for me."
The doubts in Bo Jingyu's eyes grew heavier. "Check on the president of Ahairei. I want to know the specific results by tomorrow morning."
"… Why do you want to check on her?" Ruo Chi asked in surprise.
