"The daughter of Qin Hanbo, the forr president of Xingyao Company."
"Isn’t Xingyao Company on the brink of bankruptcy?"
"With Lu Qing’s investnt and acquisition of shares, it certainly won’t go bankrupt for the ti being."
Chu Yunhao’s eyes revealed a trace of calculation. He had always wanted to win over Lu Qing, but the incident with the cruise ship had caused them to fall out instead.
Now, while Lu Qing hadn’t taken any action against him yet, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t strike one day, especially if a woman whispered sweet things in his ear. To guard against this possibility, Chu Yunhao needed to tread carefully. He whispered a warning to Su Moli:
"Don’t offend Qin Miaomiao. Best to get on her good side."
Su Moli’s face turned pale, completely resistant to the idea:
"I was thrown into the sea to feed the sea snakes, and now you want to make friends with her? Chu Yunhao, do you even have a conscience!"
Her voice was slightly raised. Chu Yunhao’s expression darkened as he sternly warned her:
"Keep your voice down! I don’t care what you do, but you must resolve this matter."
After saying this, he turned away to chat with others. Su Moli was livid, but her gaze soon fell on a fat woman dressed in ostentatious gold, a typical nouveau riche look. She smirked subtly.
Qin Miaomiao stood beside Lu Qing, nodding and smiling. Occasionally, others’ eyes would land on her, and her every move was asured and graceful. Even an etiquette coach would struggle to find a flaw.
She exuded her own charm. Perhaps she wasn’t the most beautiful girl in the room, but she was undoubtedly the most captivating woman.
At that mont, a pure beauty dressed in white approached to greet Lu Qing. Qin Miaomiao observed her carefully—wasn’t this Chen Ran, who used to be imnsely popular?
However, she had always appeared as a symbol of innocence. Later, there seed to be rumors about her being romantically involved with a married director. There were even stories of her being slapped publicly by the wife. Although the news was suppressed, her reputation and image in the industry took a hit. This year, her popularity had noticeably declined.
Chen Ran walked over with a bright smile on her face and greeted:
"Young Master Lu, long ti no see."
Lu Qing glanced at her but didn’t recognize her. Chen Ran felt a bit awkward, but considering his status, it wasn’t surprising.
"Young Master Lu is a very busy man. How about this—after tonight’s banquet, we could have a private gathering nearby, just a casual drink and unwind."
Lu Qing declined flatly: "Sorry, I don’t like attending unfamiliar occasions."
"President Gu truly is consistent as always—he even treats beauties this way, not giving an inch of face."
At this mont, a man dressed in a professional suit, appearing to be in his fifties, walked up. It was Song Min, the president of Feihong Entertainnt Company and Chen Ran’s boss. Seeing him, Chen Ran’s face turned pale, and she dared not speak anymore.
Lu Qing glanced at him without showing the slightest reaction. Song Min placed his hand on Chen Ran’s shoulder, looking at Lu Qing with a hint of provocation. Chen Ran, anwhile, looked pitiful, as if filled with anger yet unable to express it, her eyes filled with hope as she gazed at Lu Qing, silently pleading for him to rescue her from the predicant.
But unfortunately, Lu Qing showed no response. Instead, it was Qin Miaomiao who noticed his irritation and gently said, "I’m feeling a bit tired. Could we rest on the side for a while?"
Lu Qing curled the corners of his lips and replied, "Excuse ."
He then accompanied Qin Miaomiao to a quieter area. It was only then that Chen Ran noticed Qin Miaomiao. A surge of envy welled up in her heart—what was the status of this woman that she could make Lu Qing act so attentive?
