After Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue left.
Many people gathered around the young man, "Lawyer Zhang, do you know President Shi?"
"Yes, he’s an old classmate of mine." The young man said with a touch of pride, no longer showing the initial awkwardness he had when entering the venue.
"Oh, why haven’t we heard Lawyer Zhang ntion having such an outstanding old classmate before?"
"I haven’t heard President Li ntion President Shi’s na on my side either."
"Right, right, right." President Li solemnly raised a glass to him, "Whenever it’s convenient, I’d like to invite Lawyer Zhang for so tea; just as it happens, our company’s legal advisor contract is about to expire..."
The young man smiled warmly, "President Li, you’re too kind..."
As President Li, a significant figure in the Beijing business scene, extended an olive branch to this young lawyer of little repute in the circle.
Following closely, that night.
Countless business elites renowned in the Chinese market traded business cards with the young man.
It was a very pleasant exchange for both parties.
The boss of the "MM Investnt Fund," well-known in international financial circles, had just co to China to expand business, and everyone in the business field wanted to connect with them.
The problem was that they couldn’t find a way in.
Now that they’ve t this big shot’s old classmate, whether useful or not, connecting this network is never wrong.
...
Perhaps because of the young man’s earlier approach.
After Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue finished eating, so people ca over to speak with Shi Wangyue again.
Although Shi Wangyue was distant in personality, he was not devoid of EQ.
When soone approached him for conversation, he elegantly engaged in pleasant conversation along their chosen topics.
Gradually, the guests realized that General Manager Shi of the "MM Investnt Fund," though seemingly aloof, actually had excellent manners and a strong sense of decorum.
And his female partner was not only stunningly beautiful and exuded an exquisite aura, once interacting with her, her deanor made people feel as if they were basking in the spring breeze.
Thus, after that evening—
Shi Wangyue beca famous in the socialite circles of Beijing.
The evaluations of him were mostly positive, saying he truly was a very elegant and cultured gentleman, not at all as aloof as they had initially assud.
...
Ming Chao and Zhao Sui were also focal figures in the Beijing socialite circles.
Having missed the chance to speak to Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue initially, they were soon surrounded by others wanting to chat with them.
As a result, when the dance segnt after the dinner comnced.
Ming Chao didn’t get the chance to have a brief conversation with his sister and the man beside her.
...
During the dance segnt of the banquet.
Most of those with partners chose to dance the opening dance with their companions.
Those without partners invited a congenial friend they t at the venue to dance.
It was of special significance for Shi Wangyue, this first dance in a public place post-official union.
Not usually keen on this segnt, as soon as the host announced the start of the dance segnt, he imdiately bowed with a gentleman’s grace to Ning Youguang, "Beautiful lady, would you care to dance with this song?"
The lighting of the dance hall in the art museum was dim and gentle, draping a dreamy and hazy veil over everyone present.
Ning Youguang extended her hand; in stark contrast to her expression, her heart raced—a cold and thin facade, while internally burning hot, wild, even causing dizziness.
Shi Wangyue led her into the dance floor, maintaining an elegant deanor, though his inner excitent was no less than Ning Youguang’s.
Soon, the lodious sound of the violin began.
The two bodies moved along to the rhythm of the music.
As for dancing, Ning Youguang had diligently learned in her past life and continued in this one; she didn’t expect Shi Wangyue to dance quite well too.
"When did you learn?" she asked, puzzled.
"I learned as a child." Shi Wangyue smiled, explaining.
"Oh." Ning Youguang asked no more, focusing on the rhythm of the dance.
In her understanding, children took so many extracurricular classes; it seed nothing to know how to dance as well.
Unbeknownst to her, though Shi Wangyue did learn many skills as a child, dancing wasn’t among them.
This dancing skill was sothing he recently cramd.
...
Early on, Ze Wu had stopped talking with those around him when Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang glided into the dance floor.
Watching the remarkably harmonious duo in the center of the dance floor, captivating countless gazes, he couldn’t help but utter a quiet expletive:
"Damn!"
Talent truly can be so imbalanced!
...
As the two’s dance moves beca more dazzling, many present grew curious about the identity of this big shot’s female companion.
It mainly had to do with the big shot’s deanor; no matter how they observed from any angle, or with any motive, the boss of "MM Investnt Fund" who acquired Starlight Investnt, consistently displayed warmth and attentiveness to his partner throughout the evening.
The feeling was akin to holding a treasured gem, afraid it might fall from his palm.
To say they didn’t have a close relationship would be impossible.
Anyone with eyes could see that when the two were together, their eyes were ant only for one another.
...
After finishing their dance, Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue exited the dance floor when soone approached Ning Youguang, smiling, "Teacher Ning, what a coincidence to et you here today."
It was Xia Fanxing’s uncle—Director Xia.
"Director Xia, long ti no see." Ning Youguang said, lightly catching her breath.
Her exquisitely made-up face was flushed, her eyes bright, looking more radiant than ever.
"Is this your boyfriend?" Director Xia looked earnestly at the young couple before him.
As Ming Jinxin’s friend, while he showed sufficient respect to Ning Youguang, occasionally his elder’s affection would naturally surface, not annoying but endearing.
His deanor, stemming from genuine intentions, wasn’t off-putting but rather amiable.
"Yes, this is my boyfriend, Shi Wangyue." Ning Youguang said straightforwardly.
"A fine young man, promising and capable." Though Director Xia had no personal ties with Shi Wangyue, he knew who he was post-evening; thus, he looked at him full of admiration.
"Thank you, Director Xia, for the praise." Shi Wangyue felt incredibly pleased after his girlfriend’s open introduction.
A strikingly handso face smiled softly.
In Director Xia’s eyes, this was indisputable—the young man Teacher Ning was dating was superb in always, from appearance to personality and ability.
He approached to greet the young couple purely due to Ning Youguang.
After getting acquainted with Shi Wangyue, he conversed in-depth with Ning Youguang about an issue concerning his nephew.
At this mont, Ze Wu also brought a few people over to et Shi Wangyue.
