Chapter 107: Annual Meeting Turbulence 1 (1st Update)
Baiyu Palace, luxurious banquet hall on the thirteenth floor.
As a top-tier enterprise in Shencheng, Nanchang Group’s annual meeting was sure to be a grand affair. Half of the most prestigious business moguls had arrived, and a famous singer had been invited to perform. When Ning Guiwan arrived, the place was already bustling with activity.
However, her arrival still drew considerable attention. That red dress was particularly eye-catching. Under the crystal chandelier, her skin appeared to glow, and her every move exuded charm. The surrounding gazes couldn’t help but fall upon her, especially those of the gentlemen.
"HMPH, dressed so flamboyantly, who is she trying to seduce?" In the brief silence, an inappropriate comment echoed from a corner.
Ning Guiwan acted as if she hadn’t heard. Her brow didn’t even furrow. With a smile, she exchanged pleasantries, the epitome of grace and composure.
"Look at how smug she acts!" In the corner, the previous speaker grumbled discontentedly, "Sister Rongyue, I’m so angry for you! She not only stole your brother-in-law but also allows people to bully you in the company. She’s such a wicked woman!"
The speaker was Qiao Youning, a friend Ning Rongyue had made in the past two years. She was the youngest heiress of Qiao Group and Qiao Yishen’s younger sister. Also a pampered young lady, she possessed the typical arrogance of one from a prominent family. She used to despise illegitimate daughters the most, yet she was surprisingly close to Ning Rongyue.
Under Ning Rongyue’s subtle influence, in Qiao Youning’s mind, Ning Guiwan was a malicious vixen, always ready to ensnare men.
At this moment, Ning Guiwan was shaking hands with Lu Ziqi, the second son of Lu Group. Tianchi Group had business dealings with Lu Group.
"Mr. Lu, it’s been a few days. You seem even more spirited than before."
Ning Guiwan said, her eyes bright and captivating as she made polite conversation.
Lu Ziqi was dressed in a matte silver suit, its buttons fastened, with a matching vest underneath, a white shirt, a blue striped tie, and a black pocket square. At twenty-seven or twenty-eight, he exuded a gentlemanly air. With his tall figure and striking features, standing beside Ning Guiwan, they indeed looked like a golden couple.
