When the staff member saw that the man who had retorted her was tall and handsome, her eyes instantly sparkled.
"So handsome..."
This exclamation made Yuan Meng sneer and Ling Qianchen frown in disgust.
"Sir, our working attitude is definitely impeccable..."
Before the staff member could finish, Ling Qianchen coldly interrupted, "But what I've seen seems to tell a different story."
How could he allow the girl in his heart to be bullied by others? Even though his girl was not like those delicate young ladies and was definitely capable of handling this on her own.
Yuan Meng had no idea what Ling Qianchen was thinking. She just wanted to know the real reason for his appearance here. Could it be that she had accidentally revealed another one of her identities? But that didn't seem right! If Ling Qianchen really knew, he would surely be interrogating her instead of looking at her affectionately.
Ling Qianchen's appearance made the staff member think she had encountered love. But when she saw that his eyes never left Yuan Meng, she was filled with anger.
No wonder she's a prostitute. She won't even let go of a handsome guy who talks to her!
"Sir, there's a reason for my special attitude," the staff member said, suddenly pointing at Yuan Meng, who was waiting to see how she would justify herself. She said viciously, "This young lady is in a special profession. This is a decent place, and it's my duty to stop people of dubious character from entering. What's wrong with that?"
"What did you say?"
The staff member's words made Ling Qianchen's already gloomy face turn even colder.
Frightened by his look, the staff member shivered but still weakly spoke up.
"This young lady is in a special profession. Sir, you must understand the occasion. She..."
"Shut up!"
Having been slandered again and again, even Yuan Meng, who didn't want to argue with brainless people, got angry.
"Just because your makeup artist gave me a glamorous makeup look, I must be in that kind of profession?"
"Don't talk nonsense or try to justify yourself. Our makeup artists are absolutely professional and won't tolerate the slightest bit of slander!"
The staff member always believed she was right. How could she be convinced by Yuan Meng's explanation? She just thought that this woman in a special profession was just trying to defend herself so as not to make her rich admirer dislike her.
Seeing that the staff member always insisted she was right no matter what, Yuan Meng didn't want to waste any more words. After sneering, she turned around and left.
After Yuan Meng left, the staff member gave a shy smile and was about to talk more with Ling Qianchen. But she saw Ling Qianchen turn around without hesitation and leave as well.
"Sir!"
The staff member stamped her feet in anger, but no matter what, Ling Qianchen would surely not come back because of her call.
Following behind Yuan Meng, even without facing her, Ling Qianchen could guess how angry she was. Indeed, anyone would be angry if they were pointed at and called someone in a special profession. He didn't need to care about what others thought, but Yuan Meng's every frown, smile, and move tugged at his heart and emotions.
"Yueyue," Ling Qianchen quickened his pace and walked shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Meng. "I know you're in a bad mood, and I won't tell you to look on the bright side of everything. But I have a way to make you feel better."
In front of Ai Yue, Ling Qianchen was like a young boy eager to show off, as if he had just fallen in love. He just wanted to offer the best things to Yuan Meng and let her choose. He just wanted to catch up with the girl he had been thinking about as soon as possible, in case something went wrong. Little did he know that the girl in front of him was Yuan Meng, who had spent a short time with him not long ago.
Yuan Meng gave a half - smile. She was also thinking that if the truth came out later, would Ling Qianchen hate her and even kill her? Ling Qianchen only knew she was looking at him but couldn't guess the meaning behind her smile.
"What's the method?"
"I checked online and found that when women are in a bad mood, they like to go shopping to relieve their emotions. Do you... like this too?" Ling Qianchen really didn't know much about Ai Yue. But he remembered that Yuan Meng would indeed relieve her emotions by shopping when she was in a bad mood, so he thought all women might like this.
Ling Qianchen's thoughts were almost all written on his face, and Yuan Meng could see through him. He said he checked online, but in fact, he must have observed it through her other identity. However, this suggestion wasn't unacceptable.
"Okay, then let's go."
These words made it hard for him to tell whether she really liked it or not, but at least he had finally managed to get a chance to be alone with her.
Afraid that Yan Ke'er would be worried and wait for too long, Yuan Meng sent a text message in advance to tell her and comforted Yan Ke'er to wait obediently at the front desk. She had a feeling that the organizer would call soon.
As the time was almost up, but Ai Yue and Ling Qianchen still hadn't shown up, the organizer was sweating profusely with anxiety.
"Where are they?"
The assistant was also anxious, but he didn't dare to shout. He just said he would try to contact them. The organizer was so anxious that he could only suppress his anxiety for the time being.
Two minutes later, the assistant returned to the organizer with a bitter face. The organizer's heart sank when he saw the assistant's expression.
"What's that look on your face? What happened?"
"I just tried to contact President Ling and Ai Yue, but their phones were always unavailable. I don't know what to do..."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" the organizer roared. "If you can't contact President Ling, you can try to contact his secretary!" As he said this, he glared angrily at the assistant.
The assistant had a hard time expressing his grievances and could only stand there dejectedly, listening to the organizer make the call.
On the other side, the secretary following Ling Qianchen and Yuan Meng received the call from the organizer and his expression changed slightly. It wasn't surprise or panic. He just thought the organizer's efficiency was very low. After all, they had been shopping outside for an hour and a half.
"Hello."
"Hello, Secretary. This is the organizer. May I ask why President Ling hasn't shown up for so long? Not only President Ling, but Miss Ai Yue also hasn't appeared. Are they together?"
Maybe hearing the voice, Ling Qianchen and Yuan Meng both stopped and looked back. The secretary got a look from Ling Qianchen and replied, "Yes."
"That's great! The opening ceremony is about to start, but the two of them haven't shown up yet. I was worried that something had happened..."
Hearing this, the secretary sneered and asked, "What? Are you still in the dark?"
The organizer's heart skipped a beat. What did Ling Qianchen's secretary mean by this?
"Please be more explicit."
Since the organizer had asked, the secretary didn't hide anything and described exactly what had happened at the entrance. With each word, more cold sweat broke out on the organizer's forehead. This situation meant they had completely offended the two big shots!
Knowing that the organizer had understood and that they would surely take action, the secretary hung up the phone after finishing.
As the secretary had expected, the organizer, who had been hung up on, was full of anger and was about to rush to the entrance to demand an explanation from the staff member. But just as he was about to step out, he was quickly stopped by the assistant.
After understanding the situation, the assistant quickly reminded the organizer, "The most important thing now is to find out where the two of them are. Otherwise..."
There was no need to say the whole thing. The organizer knew what it meant. He immediately suppressed his anger and sent a text message to Ling Qianchen's secretary to ask about Ai Yue's whereabouts.
