On the other hand, the few people who had spoken just now at first braced themselves and looked into Shan Yue’s eyes.
However, since they had done something wrong, they were definitely afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Therefore, they were quickly defeated in terms of aura, let alone in other aspects.
Seeing this, Shan Yue did not waste any more time. She retracted her gaze and walked into the venue. There were already people waiting for her here. She followed Zhou Xuan’s instructions and brought Shan Yue to the room in the hall.
After pushing open the door, there was a pair of crystal shoes in front of a full-length mirror. The entire surface of the shoes was wrapped in sparkling particle diamonds. There was a bright crystal on the top of the shoes, making it look luxurious.
Sometimes, fate was just so unfair. Some people could buy gifts regardless of the price. However, there were also some people who had to work hard for their lives every day. All of this had to be changed by themselves.
Shan Yue did not hesitate much because there was not much time left. She directly changed into Zhou Xuan’s third gift. When she was done preparing and pushed open the door again, she realized that Zhou Xuan had been waiting at the door for a long time.
The slightly new clothes made Zhou Xuan’s eyes light up, and his pupils unconsciously dilated. He only knew that Shan Yue was the most beautiful woman in the entire Federation’s Central City now. She was also his girlfriend.
“Shan Yue, you’re really good-looking.” Zhou Xuan paused for a few seconds, and a sweet smile appeared on his lips. “If these two gifts were placed on someone else, they would only look dull. Only on you can its true value be displayed.”
It had to be said that Zhou Xuan was telling the truth.
As soon as Shan Yue came out of the room, everyone’s attention was attracted. Although the clothes themselves reflected light, the main reason was Shan Yue’s temperament.
“Then I’ll take that as a compliment.” Shan Yue smiled and raised her red lips, which were especially seductive. “The gala is about to begin. Let’s not stand here anymore. Get ready to enter.”
“Of course.” As he spoke, a smile appeared on Zhou Xuan’s face.
This scene stunned the surrounding people. Everyone knew that Zhou Xuan was a typical career maniac and an expressionless man. They had never seen Zhou Xuan in this state before. Even the partners who often worked with him had never been smiled at by him.
However, Zhou Xuan and Shan Yue did not care about the gazes of others. Instead, they walked into the hall arm in arm.
The entire theme was very clear. One could tell at a glance that it was related to medicine. However, there were quite a lot of people present. Most of them were medical personnel, and only a small number of them were entrepreneurs like Shan Yue.
“President Shan, President Zhou, you’re here.”
Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from behind them. The two of them turned their heads at the same time.
As Shan Yue had expected, the person who spoke was Dong Peng.
“President Dong, what a coincidence. The two of us just arrived.”
Shan Yue looked around from the corner of her eye and found an empty seat in a relative corner. She immediately pointed. “Why don’t we sit there together? It won’t affect the content of the gala or our private conversation.”
As soon as he said this, Zhou Xuan and Dong Peng immediately understood that Shan Yue had some private matters to tell them. Hence, they immediately agreed and followed behind Shan Yue.
After the three of them sat down, Shan Yue looked around warily. Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the venue, she leaned slightly towards the table. “Uncle Dong, has there been any progress on the matter I told you about yesterday afternoon?”
“After i went back yesterday, I already told him about this on the phone. Although his attitude was not very firm, he still rejected my request in the end.”
Dong Peng said in a voice that only the three of them could hear, “The reason for his rejection is basically the same as i thought. It’s just that there are too many people involved in this matter. He doesn’t dare to risk losing everything to help..”
