Chapter 648 - 448: Do You Know Me?
Mu Yiliang was furious! The thought of quitting her job flickered in her mind.
"Just kidding, you’re the hero here, it’d be inappropriate not to go," Gu Qingqian said irritably.
"Alright then." Mu Yiliang reluctantly agreed.
At the party, there should be a lot of people, she could just check in and then hide in a corner to eat something.
What comforted her more was that she wasn’t the only one being dragged to the party by Young Master Gu. As soon as the workday ended, Young Master Gu drove them all to the venue of the party.
The party was indeed crowded, and Mu Yiliang recognized quite a few celebrities, mostly the high society of S City. Gu Qingqian was by Gu Benhong’s side, chatting with investors, appearing low-key and humble, almost making Mu Yiliang do a double take.
She happily drank a bottle of low-alcohol fruit wine, but unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. Soon, Young Master Gu beckoned her over, introduced her to the investors as their department’s chief engineer, and Mu Yiliang could only smile along.
Mu Yiliang’s appearance often led people to mistake her for just a pretty face, so she wasn’t bothered by the investors’ skeptical looks. After the introductions were done, Young Master Gu finally let her go, and Mu Yiliang found a corner to continue drinking her fruit wine.
Thinking of the holiday starting the next day, she accidentally drank too much. Luckily, the fruit wine had low alcohol content, making her just a little dizzy, but still conscious.
So she quickly put down her glass.
At that moment, a tall and slender figure entered her view.
A woman in a professional suit walked towards her, with a friendly smile on her face.
Mu Yiliang curiously looked her up and down.
The woman wasn’t particularly pretty, but she had a unique charm, her features were striking, and her eyes were sharp, making people forget everything else.
Her body was especially nice, and she walked with a strong presence, each step clear and determined, indicating she was a person of strong will.
Mu Yiliang couldn’t help feeling curious, looking forward to her approach. Sure enough, she finally stopped in front of Mu Yiliang.
"Lady Mu." The other woman smiled and spoke, her voice slightly hoarse.
"You know me?" Mu Yiliang was sure she didn’t know her, could it be they had met before and she just forgot?
"I overheard Younger President Gu introducing you just now." The woman smiled, "I’m also in the IT field, so I wanted to meet you."
Turns out she’s a fellow professional!
Mu Yiliang’s eyes lit up and she extended her hand to her: "That’s great, my name is Mu Yiliang, and you are?"
"Let’s go chat over there, I have many questions I’d like to ask you." The woman smiled slightly, "By the way, my name is Xin Yi, you can call me Xin."
...
The party she thought would be extremely boring unexpectedly turned out to be rewarding.
After chatting with Xin for a bit, Mu Yiliang felt a bit excited. She rarely met like-minded peers, especially someone with ideas that could inspire her a lot.
Unfortunately, before long, Xin regretfully said her boss required her presence, so she had to leave first.
Mu Yiliang could only bid her goodbye, but luckily, they exchanged contact information, leaving a chance for future meetings.
Mu Yiliang could only pick up her fruit wine again and drink it in loneliness. After a while, she suddenly noticed the crowd starting to stir, as if a storm was brewing.
It was an excitement and suppressed commotion.
Just as Mu Yiliang was wondering, a young girl from her department rushed to her side, clutched her arm, and babbled incoherently, "Yan... Yan Sijue is here! Oh my god! Am I dreaming?"
Mu Yiliang was taken aback.
Then she saw at the center of the storm, a man with a slender and tall figure.
