Chapter 776: 305 Gao Yan’s Arrival_1 Chapter 776: 305 Gao Yan’s Arrival_1 Liao Guangxuan had checked why Bai Lian would be here before arriving.
Although Wen Zhixia was about the sa age as Bai Lian, Liao Guangxuan did not take her lightly at all.
He slightly raised his glass and smiled at Wen Zhixia, very polite, “Miss Wen, hello.”
Wen Zhixia was still holding a glass of wine in her hand.
Her entire body was sowhat stiff.
After all, this Liao Guangxuan was the person Wen Zhiwei and the others had ntioned many tis in the past two days.
Though it was hard to believe, she reacted very quickly and calmly introduced herself to President Liao.
President Liao smiled, took a sip of wine, and then placed the glass on the tray.
Exchanging contact information with Wen Zhixia, he spoke to Bai Lian, “I was at Hot Spring Villa with Teacher yesterday, and I wanted to invite you as well, but Mr. Xu said you were not available.”
Bai Lian indeed did not have much free ti.
After chatting for a few sentences, Liao Guangxuan personally handed the business card of the rchant guild to Bai Lian, “This is your card, it will be accepted at airports nationwide and five-star hotels from now on.”
As the largest business chamber in Jiangjing, it naturally had special treatnts.
The guild’s mbership card granted access to VIP lounges at all airports and special services at major hotels.
“Thank you.” Bai Lian also put down her glass and reached out to take the card, a very noticeable black diamond card.
Bai Lian chatted casually with Liao Guangxuan.
Their voices were not loud during the conversation.
But at that mont, almost all eyes were focused on their corner.
The entire banquet hall’s attention was on them; the people around them all heard Liao Guangxuan say “Miss Bai” and “Miss Wen.”
**
At this side, the Yue Family mbers exchanged glances, “Yuzhang, does Zhixia really know President Liao?”
“I’d say it’s her friend who knows President Liao,” Le Yuzhang’s gaze shifted from President Liao to Bai Lian by his side.
The status of Liao Guangxuan went without saying; his sudden arrival caught most of the people in the hall unprepared, the Yue Family and Wen Family were sowhat panicked, afraid of not having provided adequate hospitality.
But judging by Wen Zhixia’s reaction just now, it wasn’t hard to guess who had caused Liao Guangxuan to co over.
“Her friend, I rember has the surna Bai, right?” General Yue found it unbelievable.
He hadn’t heard much about the surna “Bai.”
He didn’t even know the na of Miss Bai; how could she have suddenly stirred President Liao?
After a mont of silence, Le Yuzhang picked up his glass and went to find Wen Zhixia.
His action made the others react, and one by one, they went to greet Liao Guangxuan and Wen Zhixia.
“Zhixia, do you not recognize ? I’m your Auntie by marriage.”
“…”
For a ti, all sorts of aunties, uncles, cousins… ca over to get close to Wen Zhixia, anyone who could say a word ca over.
“Cousin,” Lai Chen realized the situation was sowhat off, quite anxious, “How do they know President Liao?”
Next to him, a group of young masters and misses from the circle also looked towards Wen Zhiwei, hoping for an explanation.
The Lai Family had always been supportive of Wen Zhiwei.
This ti Wen Zhixia’s engagent with the Yue Family made Wen Zhiwei and Lai Chen naturally lean towards Ming Zongyao and Xu Jinyi.
Wen Zhiwei’s thoughts were also in disarray; after Wen Zhixia’s return, the old lady gave her 10% of the shares, naturally making the rest of the Wen Family feel threatened.
People in the circle all knew each other, driven by interests, resulting in Wen Zhixia having no friends within the circle after returning for more than half a year.
The Yue Family’s choice of Wen Zhixia was unexpected to everyone, but this choice had made those who were still indecisive decide in an instant that the Wen Family would definitely have a falling out with the Missses of the Ming Family.
Today was Wen Zhixia and Le Yuzhang’s engagent party, and so people ca with the intent to watch the excitent.
Who could have known…
In their eyes, Wen Zhixia, who never seed to have many friends within the circle, was actually acquainted with Chairman Liao?
Who is Chairman Liao?
That was soone even their parents sought to ingratiate themselves with.
Now, interacting amicably with Wen Zhixia—what ssage would that not send?
The aristocratic young ladies and gentlen with their noses in the air looked at Wen Zhiwei for the first ti with regret.
Seeing the crowd around Wen Zhixia growing larger, Lai Chen, holding his glass, felt as if sitting on pins and needles, “Cousin, our days at the Wen Family corporation next year might beco difficult.”
They were now both at the Wen Family headquarters, competing on the sa stage.
The Wen Family had been on the decline for the past two years, with Wen’s uncle directly transferring one of the subsidiary projects to them.
“Not necessarily,” Wen Zhiwei said quickly, her mind working fast. She pursed her lips, “Didn’t I tell you about the get-together I had with sister Xu Jinyi last week? We managed to invite Yan Lu.”
“Yan Lu?” Lai Chen had just returned to the country recently and found the na familiar but did not know Yan Lu.
“From the entertainnt industry,” Wen Zhixia said, ntioning Yan Lu without much concern, “She has a large fanbase, and the industry rates her highly. She currently has only one endorsent deal. If our team with the Ming Family can invite her to be a joint spokesperson, we won’t have to worry about fa or brand image.”
Yan Lu’s popularity was now sky-high.
Endowed with the auras of “Dayong”, “Bai Jian”, and “Director Jian”, especially since… rumors were that her marketing company was Xijiang, the top marketing team in the country.
The difficulty of inviting her to be a spokesperson was indeed high.
But if they succeeded, it could change the current situation for Wen Zhiwei and Lai Chen.
**
Wen Zhixia had originally thought she would be just a decoration today, as usual, but after Liao Guangxuan’s arrival, she was kept extrely busy.
People ca in waves to toast to her and Le Yuzhang.
It was at that ti that Bai Lian received a call from Gao Yan.
“Lian Lian,” Gao Yan’s voice was, as always, gentle, “Are you at Zhixia’s engagent party? It hasn’t ended yet, has it?”
Bai Lian held the phone to her ear, “Auntie, it’s not over yet.”
“That’s perfect,” Gao Yan said with a smile, “I’m right here, and I’ve brought a gift for Zhixia.”
Bai Lian gripped her phone, her gaze drifting towards the entrance, her eyes and brows radiating indolence.
“What’s up?” Wen Zhixia noticed Bai Lian’s gaze.
She put down her glass.
“It’s nothing,” Bai Lian said, twirling her phone in her palm, and tilting her head, “It’s just that Aunt Gao is coming over. She’s right outside. I’ll go to receive her.”
“Aunt Gao?” Wen Zhixia knew Bai Lian ant Gao Yan. She paused for a mont and hurriedly said, “I’ll go with you.”
They both left the room.
On this side, Wen’s uncle and the people from the Yue Family were chatting with Liao Guangxuan. Le Yuzhang was listening in, and after Lai Chen finished speaking with Wen Zhiwei, he joined in to get acquainted.
Yu Guang’s attention was on Bai Lian all along. When the two of them left, he was the first to notice, “Where are they going?”
The lounge was on the second floor, and the restroom wasn’t in that direction either.
Wen’s uncle also noticed Wen Zhixia’s absence when toasting to thank Liao Guangxuan, “Where is Zhixia?”
“It seems she has gone out.” even the butler found it strange.
This was naturally the ti when Liao Guangxuan was of utmost importance. Wen Zhixia was not soone who didn’t understand the situation. Bai Lian had created this opportunity for her, and she should be making the most of it. So why had she left?
Just then,
Outside, Wen Zhixia returned with two people following her.
