CHAPTER 906: CHAPTER 58: I’LL DEAL WITH YOU LATER

Chapter 58

Yan Yuan received a beige short dress, with a small shawl on the shoulders adorned with beautiful diamonds.

She was already naturally elegant, and the moment she put on the dress, she exuded a charming beauty like a lotus emerging from water.

Especially those big, elf-like eyes left a first impression of cuteness, making everyone, regardless of gender or age, unable to resist a second glance.

When Yan Yuan was heading downstairs, even the cleaning auntie was stunned.

She really wished this child was her daughter.

Having such a cute and beautiful daughter, she would wake up smiling from her sleep.

Yan Yuan took a taxi to the Chulan Hotel.

Halfway there, Xiao Jiemei called urging her to hurry up, as it was said that the BOSS would also attend this launch ceremony, making the banquet very important.

"I’ll be there soon, I’m on my way!" Yan Yuan said to Xiao Jiemei over the phone.

Xiao Jiemei hurriedly said, "Remember to dress nicely!"

"..." Yan Yuan was puzzled, dress nicely? Why specifically remind her?

Isn’t it just a launch ceremony?

Is it really that important?

"Let me tell you, Su Meili is dressed really beautifully today. It’s a haute couture dress from a world-class luxury brand. It’s rumored that since the BOSS is coming, everyone is dressing up to the nines. Might get spotted by President Bai and become a Phoenix instantly," Xiao Jiemei gushed.

Yan Yuan had a huge question mark above her head.

So, Xiao Jiemei said to dress nicely to attract Bai Chenxi’s attention?

Then the dress she wore was his gift; does it mean she’s already got his attention?

Is there a chance she can become a Phoenix in the future?

She shuddered at the thought after hanging up, forget it!

Even without Bai Chenxi, she’s still a Phoenix on the branch.

The car arrived at the Chulan Hotel.

Yan Yuan saw the entrance already covered with a red carpet, such a grand gesture.

She initially thought the web drama wasn’t a big deal, but now it seems it’s meant to make the Sword Immortal popular.

Walking into the opulent hotel, Xiao Jiemei waved at her from a distance.

Yan Yuan walked over, and Xiao Jiemei’s eyes lit up seeing her dress.

"Beautiful, really beautiful! Yan Yuan, you look great! This dress must have cost a lot!" Xiao Jiemei said with envy, although she couldn’t recognize the brand. But she could see the quality and design of the dress.

"It didn’t cost anything, someone gave it to me!" Yan Yuan replied with a smile, "By the way, you’re looking good today too, that blue evening dress looks great."

Xiao Jiemei whispered into Yan Yuan’s ear with a grin, "Heh, I rented this for two thousand yuan, it’s an expensive dress."

The two were whispering, unaware that someone next to them overheard.

A woman in a bright red gown, with heavy makeup, sneered at Yan Yuan, "I thought it was some brand-name dress, turns out it’s not only worthless but rented cheap stuff."

Yan Yuan instinctively frowned, her gaze turning slightly cold.

Xiao Jiemei, usually quite direct, turned and scoffed at the woman, "I don’t think what you’re wearing is anything special, even if it’s good stuff, it looks cheap on a lousy person."

"You!" The woman in the red dress glared angrily.

Yan Yuan sized her up, she knew this woman.

She was Su Meili’s lackey, and this time only had a minor role as a villain alongside her.

"Let’s go, this bitch has poisonous teeth, be careful of getting rabies if bitten." Yan Yuan pulled Xiao Jiemei to leave.

Zhao Chunyu, unable to miss Yan Yuan calling her a bitch, turned green with anger.

She surged forward, grabbing Yan Yuan by the shoulder, trying to rip her dress. "You little bitch, who did you call a dog? See if I don’t tear your shabby dress apart."

Yan Yuan raised her chin slightly, her eyes gleaming with cold light; this woman was really shameless, acting like a shrew.

"BOSS is here!" someone quickly shouted out.

Yan Yuan was about to hit back, but Zhao Chunyu’s speed was astonishing.

Before she could strike, Zhao Chunyu retreated.

Instantly turned into a gentle, gracious, and polite lady.

The two exchanged glances, Zhao Chunyu sneered arrogantly, "I’ll deal with you after the banquet!"

Yan Yuan looked at her with a dumbfounded expression, "I just hope you come. I’m ready anytime!"

She hadn’t hit anyone in a long time, her hands were itching.

"You wait!" Zhao Chunyu said through gritted teeth.

Yan Yuan turned her head to look at the entrance.

Bai Chenxi was dressed in a white shirt, snow-white casual pants, and white sneakers. Under his flowing ink-black hair, his features were impeccably handsome.

At the end of the red carpet, he seemed to come surrounded by a golden halo, making everything along his path shine with brilliance.

The girls present blushed and their hearts raced as they watched the man who seemed like the sun, moon, and stars, wishing they could pounce on him and make sure he remembered them.

Yan Yuan only looked once before pulling Xiao Jiemei away into the crowd.

Xiao Jiemei anxiously glanced at Yan Yuan, then at the approaching Bai Chenxi, and said, "Didn’t you see the boss coming? Why are you leaving? Everyone is eager to go up and say hello."

Yan Yuan glared at Xiao Jiemei, "Don’t be so spineless, okay? So many people are crowding around him, trying to get attention. Do you think if it were you, you’d like that?"

Xiao Jiemei stopped struggling at once.

Thinking about it, that’s true. Who is Bai Chenxi? Everyone’s trying to get around him; it’s a wonder if he likes it.

Yan Yuan had just pulled Xiao Jiemei to sit in the corner.

Over there, Bai Chenxi was actually standing with a drink among a group of women, chatting and laughing.

Xiao Jiemei couldn’t contain herself again.

"No way, I have to go over and say something to President Bai, to get closer," Xiao Jiemei said as she picked up her drink and rushed over.

Yan Yuan sat in the corner, "..."

Feeling particularly chilly around her.

This bunch, blinded by attraction.

Seeing a good-looking man, they don’t even care for their dignity.

However, as Yan Yuan observed Bai Chenxi, something was a bit off about him at this moment.

Normally, he doesn’t like to talk to anyone, like a block of wood.

Half a day and you can’t get a word from him, but now he’s happily chatting with some women.

Just as Yan Yuan was thinking this, Su Meili unexpectedly arrived with the director.

After that, Chu Chen and Song Yuwan also arrived.

Suddenly, the whole banquet hall became lively, with everyone breaking into groups to greet each other.

And the director, Su Meili, Chu Chen, and Song Yuwan all went to greet Bai Chenxi first.

Everyone was exchanging drinks and seemed very happy chatting.

Yan Yuan wrinkled her nose, contemplating whether she should pretend to join in.

Sitting alone in the corner, feeling like a flock of crows was flying over her head.

She took her glass and drank four or five glasses in a row, finally deciding to drink alone.

"You’re really a standout, sitting here by yourself in the banquet hall," Mu Chiheng’s voice sounded behind Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan turned to assess him.

Mu Chiheng wore light blue today, looking sunny and handsome, especially those eyes, which always seemed to carry a pleasant smile.

"Why don’t you go over there to toast? This is a good chance for you to stand out," Yan Yuan said with a smile.

"I want to! But with so many people around, how could I get in? Even if I did, the boss might not drink my toast," Mu Chiheng said with a grin, sitting opposite Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan clinked glasses with him, "Such a boring guy, looking at the way you are, it’s going to be hard for you to become very famous."

Mu Chiheng flashed a brilliant smile, "It’s not that easy to become very famous. Yan Yuan, you didn’t go either, did you?"

"I’m waiting for everyone to leave, then I’ll go!" Yan Yuan said with a smile, though she didn’t intend to go at all.

When there were a lot of people, she tried to avoid associating with Bai Chenxi.

She didn’t want to create any rumors with him.

Besides, she knew Chu Chen too, and he had taken her to his secret base to eat seafood, so they should be friends.

As for the other people, she hadn’t thought about making connections yet.

The director was a straightforward person; when the banquet officially started, she’d just go toast as a formality.

She didn’t plan to cozy up to the others.

Yan Yuan and Mu Chiheng were drinking over there, and soon the chattering crowd dispersed.

Xiao Jiemei came back excitedly, patting Yan Yuan’s shoulder, caught up in a state of infatuation and excitement, seemingly unaware of who she was.

"Yan Yuan, President Bai just talked to me," Xiao Jiemei said, her face flushed with excitement.

Yan Yuan looked at her with a stupid expression, "And then?"

"He told me to work hard. Isn’t that showing he cares about me? He didn’t encourage anyone else. You should’ve seen, Su Meili almost looked like she would die of jealousy," Xiao Jiemei held her chin in both hands, with a look of obsession.

Yan Yuan was speechless, silently drinking.

Just as she hadn’t finished disdainfully regarding Xiao Jiemei, Chu Chen unexpectedly came over with a drink.
