Chapter 477: There’s No Need to Mention How Popular Miss Zi Is in High Society
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Several of the female students were all excited as they saw the various big shots walking over.
“Oh heavens, these CEOs are giving off strong auras.”
“However, they seem to be a little on the older side. Aren’t there any young and handsome ones?”
“There is. Second Young Master Lu is young and handsome. I think he will also be attending the Global Economic Forum this time maybe?”
“Wow, look! That person walking over is so manly and he has the temperament of an overbearing president.”
“Who’s that?”
“Oh my… He’s looking at me.”
Zi Yi followed everyone’s line of sight and just so happened to make eye contact with Rick’s sharp gaze that was concealed beneath his domineering eyes.
Just then, Rick suddenly gave her a meaningful smile and said something to one of the foreigners beside him, who looked to be around his thirties.
The foreigner looked in her direction and there were unconcealed and naked emotions of surprise the moment he saw her appearance.
Rick and his group had soon made their way over.
Yang Li and Zhang Lu smiled at the same time with the intention of heading over to greet them.
However, Rick greeted Zi Yi first. “Miss Zi, long time no see. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
When the female students saw the big shot greeting Zi Yi, while she still maintained that indifferent expression on her face, they were all extremely surprised.
Zi Yi merely returned his greeting with a nod.
Rick and a few other men had already arrived at where Zi Yi was.
Elson’s tone of voice revealed his undisguised surprise. “I’ve always thought that women in the capital have the same appearance, but now that I’ve seen Miss Zi, I finally understand the meaning of ‘a devastating beauty’. The description ‘as beautiful as a goddess’ is so appropriate and Miss Zi is the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen.”
Having said that, he stepped forward with the intention of giving her a hug in greeting.
Zi Yi took a step to the side and said in a polite tone, “Gentlemen, please show your number badges when you enter and a receptionist will lead you to your respective positions.”
Elson did not expect that the woman before him would not spare him any face at all and was displeased. “Miss Zi, why did you reject my hug? Is this how you receive foreign guests?”
Zi Yi looked at Elson and asked a question instead of answering, “Does Mr. Elson know where the Global Economic Forum is currently being held?”
Her words had stunned everyone around her.
After Elson recovered his senses, he laughed out loud and said, “It is interesting for Miss Zi to have asked this question. But then again, you’re here to welcome guests, so why do you ask that question?”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “It seems like Mr. Elson is aware of which country the Forum is currently being held in. There’s a saying that goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since Mr. Elson is in our country, you should follow our country’s greeting habits.”
Elson narrowed his eyes and thought internally: “Sure enough, Lu Jingye’s woman is extraordinary, but I like it. Now that Lu Jingye has been chased out by the Lu Family, if I were to snatch his woman away, he can’t possibly do anything to me.”
At the thought of Lu Jingye’s appearance when he could do nothing against him, Elson felt extremely pleased.
Just then, there were already quite a number of influential figures entering the venue and Elson could not possibly do anything to Zi Yi in an open venue. He merely looked at her with a meaningful gaze before he headed inside.
After making his way in, he said to his bodyguards, “Find a way to bring her to my hotel.”
Rick looked at Elson who had revealed an excited expression and reminded him out of kindness. “Even though Lu Jingye doesn’t have the Lu Family’s protection right now, he still has bodyguards in his hands. Those bodyguards of his aren’t easy targets either.”
Elson laughed. He had specially employed members of the killer organization as bodyguards this time around and so would he be afraid of Lu Jingye’s bodyguards?

Rick did not say anything else when he saw that expression of his.
Near the main entrance.
After the group of big shots made their way in, there was a continuous flow of foreign guests.
Everyone could not help but take a second glance at Zi Yi when they entered.
There would even be some who specially requested for Zi Yi to lead them inside.
This made a few female students start guessing Zi Yi’s identity.
At the same time, they could not help but have thoughts of their own.
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a special-looking hat walked over with a few other bodyguards behind him.
When he made his way over to a few of them, he suddenly stopped and asked a question.
The female students clearly could not understand him and Zhang Lu stepped forward and asked politely, “Mister, may I know what assistance you need?”
The man cupped his hand and greeted her before he repeated what he said earlier.
Zhang Lu was in an awkward situation. She could not understand what the middle-aged man was saying.
The other female students were obviously confused too.
Just then, Yang Fangfang suddenly said, “Isn’t Yang Li from Dijing’s Institute of Foreign Language? She would definitely be able to understand this mister’s words. Why don’t we let Yang Li come over and assist him?”
A few pairs of eyes turned to look at Yang Li.
Yang Li pursed her lips and glanced at Yang Fangfang with a displeased look.
Since she did not step forward, it obviously meant that she did not understand him. Did she really not understand this or had she done it on purpose?
The situation was about to become increasingly awkward, when Zi Yi stepped forward and conversed with the man in his language. The man thanked her politely and entered the venue with his bodyguards.
The female students looked at Zi Yi with a surprised look.
“Student Zi, what did that guy say earlier?” Yang Li had an expression of gratitude after Zi Yi helped her get out of the predicament.
Zi Yi explained to her and said, “He forgot to bring his number badge and he asked if he could make his way inside without it.”
Zhang Lu asked, “Then how did you answer him?”
“I told him that he only has to tell the receptionist inside his country and company’s name and they would be able to find his number.”
Yang Li and Zhang Lu looked at her in admiration.
Sure enough, they knew that Zi Yi was not a simple character.
“Student Zi is so amazing. So it turns out, you can even speak such an uncommon language. As expected of someone from M.Uni.”
Yang Fangfang suddenly fawned on her. After everyone gave her a look, all of them continued to receive the foreign guests who made their way over.
Yang Fangfang was angered by their response and grasped the hem of her clothes.
Just then, one of the female students cried out. “Wow, look! That man standing in the middle is so handsome~”
A few other female students stretched out their necks at the same time.
“Oh my! Why do I feel that he resembles Second Young Master Lu?”
“Second Young Master Lu is more handsome and elegant than he is… He should be a relative of his.”
“The genes of the Lu Family are indeed good.”
Seeing that the group of people were making their way over, a few female students hastily went up to welcome them.
Lu Zhiheng, who had spotted Zi Yi earlier, had walked past the other female students. He then sized her up and revealed a meaningful smile. “Miss Zi, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
The group of men around him all looked towards Zi Yi.
One of the silver-haired men asked in an excited tone, “Mr. Lu is acquainted with this beautiful lady?”
“Of course, how would I not know her?” Lu Zhiheng deliberately spoke in a manner that was easy to misinterpret. “There’s no need to mention how popular Miss Zi is in the high society’s circle… she’s someone that makes people love and hate her at the same time.”
His words immediately caused several of the men to have crooked thoughts.
So it turns out, she’s a socialite.
