Chu Yelin reprimanded Lin Qian, then his gaze shifted toward Gu Yan and Qiao Xiya.
Both of their expressions were sowhat smug.
Gu Yan gave Lin Qian a disdainful glance and looked at Chu Yelin, saying, "President Chu indeed knows how to discern right from wrong. Then please arrange seats for us."
Chu Yelin’s eyes flickered slightly, and with a hooked lip, he said, "Lady Gu, although Manager Lin spoke inappropriately today, her arrangents to a certain extent are correct. Your table is reserved for the shop’s VIP mbers, and each spot has a na; it wouldn’t be right to ask them to move. If you insist on sitting with Miss Qiao, how about I have soone add a chair next to your seat? It might look a bit unsightly though. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"
Add a seat next to Gu Yan’s?!
Wasn’t this more embarrassing than having Lin Qian directly escort soone to a different table just earlier?
Humiliation!
Bare, naked humiliation!
The faces of Gu Yan and Qiao Xiya, originally smug, instantly turned green.
They looked at Chu Yelin in disbelief.
Chu Yelin’s handso face still bore a smile, exceedingly beautiful, showing no trace of pretense or mockery.
This guy... really knows how to put on an act!
Lin Qian gazed at Chu Yelin with surprised admiration, her red lips curving up, restraining herself from laughing out loud.
Across two tables, Nangong Li and his companions were closely watching the situation on Lin Qian’s side.
Seeing Chu Yelin appear, Nangong Li had been itching to elbow Yin Moran.
"Old Yin, did you hear their conversation? Chu Yelin’s words were brilliant! It seems like he was helping Gu Yan and Qiao Xiya, but in reality, he was humiliating them! Now, your future wife must be even more impressed with him."
Hearing this, Yin Moran shot a cold glance over, sharp as an ice blade.
His deep gaze then turned toward the few people up front, a hint of a frown crossing his attractive brow.
The Lin Qian just now was a bit off.
Her expression was calm while talking with Gu Yan, but the words she spoke had elents of deliberate difficulty.
That didn’t quite match her usual style.
She wasn’t a woman who would be relentless once she had a hold on sothing.
Why did she target Qiao Xiya all of a sudden?
Because of this morning’s news?
Unlikely!
He would make sure to ask her about it after this was over.
At the other end, Gu Yan’s and Qiao Xiya’s complexions turned from green to red and white with anger due to Chu Yelin’s words.
Seeing that Chu Yelin had already sent soone to fetch a chair, Gu Yan was about to argue with him.
Qiao Xiya quickly grabbed her hand and smiled at her.
Her gaze swept over Chu Yelin with deep aning, "There’s no need to trouble yourself, President Chu. It seems you really stand by your employees, unwilling for her to take even the slightest affront! Fine, Yanyan, if you don’t mind, then accompany over there, alright? It’s just a thank-you party; it’s all the sa wherever we sit."
Anyone clever could see Chu Yelin’s protection of Lin Qian.
Of course, she also saw Yin Moran paying attention to this side.
So, he saw it too?
Just how much was Chu Yelin protecting Lin Qian!
With their relationship so intimate, wasn’t he jealous?
Qiao Xiya felt inwardly pleased, yet her face still wore a sweet and modest smile, signaling for Lin Qian to lead the way.
Lin Qian, admiring Qiao Xiya’s acting skills, wore a professional smile and escorted the two won to a table at the very back.
"Please take a seat, the banquet is about to begin."
After exchanging courtesies with them, Lin Qian turned and left.
Only Gu Yan and Qiao Xiya were left at the table.
Gu Yan glared resentfully at Lin Qian’s retreating figure, whispering in a low voice, "That vixen, just looking at her irritates ! Ya, are we just going to take this lying down?"
At her words, Qiao Xiya’s red lips curled up slightly, "Don’t rush, there’s a good show to watch today."
She ca here, of course, with the purpose of watching a play unfold.
Fang Tong had ruined her good fortune, so two days ago, she had soone investigate her background.
Unexpectedly, they really found out sothing.
She and Lin Qian were good sisters, so if she could embarrass her while also ssing up Lin Qian’s work, wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?
Therefore, she deliberately had Shen Bing contact Chen Fei, letting this chess piece co into play.
Just waiting to watch the drama between the two of them unravel.
Of course, she never dread that her wish would be dashed today!
The music at the venue stopped, and the host had taken the stage, beginning with an impassioned opening speech.
The custor appreciation event officially began.
Lin Qian walked to the employee rest area to see Chu Ziyang staring at her, smiling as she ruffled his soft hair.
"Mami, were those two bad won just now trying to bully you?"
Chu Ziyang looked at Lin Qian and asked.
"No, today it was Mami who bullied them."
Lin Qian said teasingly, laughing.
Chu Ziyang blinked his big, pitch-black eyes and seeing Lin Qian in a good mood, he said, "Mhm, I saw it. Uncle Chu also ca to help Mami, right?"
He had wanted to go help when Lin Qian and Gu Yan started to argue, but seeing Chu Yelin go over, he repressed his urge and quietly watched the developnts.
He wanted to give his dad a chance to make a good impression on Mami.
Fortunately, his dad didn’t let him down.
Lin Qian thought of Chu Yelin’s actions just monts ago and couldn’t help but smile.
But when she caught Chu Ziyang’s dark, glossy gaze, she quickly suppressed her smile.
"President Chu wasn’t helping Mami, he was maintaining order at the scene. Don’t let your imagination run wild, understand?"
This little guy had finally cald down for a couple of days, she couldn’t have him taking an interest in Chu Yelin again.
Chu Ziyang’s eyes twinkled as he inwardly scoffed: Does Mami need to be so sensitive?
He just wanted to do everything he could to bring her and dad together!
He longed for the family to reunite, why was it so difficult!
The custor appreciation event was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
After Chu Yelin’s speech, and then Du Qian’s annual report summary, the segnt to thank the loyal custors arrived.
"Alright, next up is the segnt to thank our loyal custors."
The host’s loud voice filled the space, "This year, the biggest contributor to the MXL counter is Yin Group’s Mr. Yin Moran. Let’s give him a round of applause!"
A warm round of applause erupted, Yin Moran stood up, slightly turned sideways, and nodded to the guests behind him in acknowledgnt.
The applause grew even more fervent.
The surrounding guests were all buzzing with conversation.
"It’s a surprise to see Mr. Yin here today."
"Yes! Normally we won’t even see him at important investnt etings, I didn’t expect him to attend a custor appreciation event."
"Ha, you didn’t see who’s at this counter. To pursue a woman, of course, he has to be willing to spend big!"
"..."
Everyone was whispering among themselves, while Lin Qian’s bright apricot eyes stayed fixed on the man’s back at the main table, her lips curving up the whole ti.
Grateful for soone’s contributions.
Undeniably, it was because of his presence that she had been able to quickly establish herself at Su City’s MXL counter.
"Alright, may we have Mr. Yin say a few words to everyone?"
The host signaled for everyone to quiet down and passed the microphone to Yin Moran.
Yin Moran took the mic, paused for a mont, and with his lips slightly parted, said, "No need for other words, just two: support."
