After Xu Ke finished speaking, he distanced himself from the young lady, and as she saw Xu Ke deliberately keeping his distance, she imdiately felt a bit unhappy and chased after him.
"Hey, what exactly are you doing? Are you looking down on ? I’m so beautiful and have many suitors, yet you disdain . Are you playing hard to get? Or is your taste just bad? If it’s the latter, I could take you to an ophthalmologist, okay? Wouldn’t it be better to improve your aesthetic sense? Must you choose those village girls?"
After Yang Tianzhen finished saying this, Xu Ke still showed no reaction, making her so angry that she stamped her foot. Never before had anyone ignored her like this. If that was the case, she would definitely make the person in front of her recognize her charm.
"Hmph, just you wait, you’ll like sooner or later. I don’t believe that under my gentle pursuit, you’ll still be interested in the person on stage, and besides, that person must be terribly disappointed in you right now, right?"
Thinking this, Yang Tianzhen glanced at Xiao Keyi on the stage. Sure enough, even though Xiao Keyi was on stage, her eyes were constantly watching the actions below, especially focused on Xu Ke.
When Xiao Keyi saw the girl beside Xu Ke, she was montarily stunned. She hadn’t expected that while she was away, Xu Ke had sohow t this young lady. Although Yang Tianzhen wasn’t as beautiful or as high-status as she was, Xiao Keyi inexplicably felt a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis made her palms sweat and it was almost impossible to remain standing.
The butler behind gently supported Xiao Keyi: "Miss, so many people are watching you. You must be careful. If you’re really tired, you should go and rest at the back. Avoid making a fool of yourself later, which would be bad for your image. Shall I get you a glass of water?"
Xiao Keyi shook her head, knowing the butler had good intentions, but her heart was in chaos. She hadn’t expected that the person she always liked would one day smile at soone else like this, and judging by the two of them, they seed quite intimate.
First, it was Jin Yina, and now it was Yang Tianzhen.
When Xiao Keyi turned her head and saw Xu Ke’s gaze, she deliberately ignored it, even to the point of forced negligence. In order to disregard Xu Ke’s look, she directly started talking to her grandfather.
"Good evening, everyone. Thank you all for coming to my 80th birthday celebration. As I ntioned before, I have sothing significant to announce, and at this celebration, I will be transferring all my authority to soone within the family business to manage it. Regarding who that person is, I believe everyone has so idea. I hope you can all witness this grand mont and I wish for us all to cooperate more in the future to help develop the Xiao Group."
After Yiyang Qianxi said this, everyone was excited. They hadn’t expected Yiyang Qianxi to hand over all his authority at this mont. Could it be that Xiao Zhen was about to take office? Those who supported Xiao Zhen were itching to move at the thought.
They hoped that after Xiao Zhen took office, they could receive more benefits. Hence, these people were willing to support Xiao Zhen no matter the cost, and even Xiao Zhen himself couldn’t help but straighten his suit collar, eager to bask in this glory.
"Before you announce the family business person, I first wish Old Mr. Xiao good fortune like the vast sea, and longevity like the southern mountain."
Yang Tian said a word, considering today was a birthday banquet; it was still appropriate to first wish the celebrant a happy birthday before moving on to other matters.
Hearing Yang Tian’s words, Yiyang Qianxi couldn’t help but nod. Yang Tian had always been a good person since his youth, and even though he only had one daughter now, making things a bit challenging, his business had experienced a slight decline, but he still remained a leader.
"Thank you for your wishes, President Yang. I wish you find a good son-in-law soon and that your business continues to grow greater."
Seeing Yiyang Qianxi being so approachable at this mont, many people gathered around and wished the old man a happy birthday. Although he had been in the business world for many years, hearing so many birthday wishes made his eyes crinkle with a smile, and he looked particularly delighted, even Xiao Keyi beside him had a smile on her face.
Suddenly, a reporter squeezed to the front, holding his microphone, face full of joy and gossip, and eagerly asked: "Yiyang Qianxi, I know you’ve achieved much in the business world, and I shouldn’t intrude, but I still want to know, what is your relationship with the young man beside you? Can you tell us? We all want to know."
As soon as the reporter spoke, everyone went silent. While they were curious, they dared not provoke Yiyang Qianxi. If he didn’t wish to disclose, asking would be in vain, so at this mont, people inwardly cursed this reporter.
But people did not hold anything back and imdiately voiced their concerns.
"How can this person have the face? Representing all of us, honestly. I haven’t said anything. I want to know the identity of that person. It has nothing to do with . Once the old man gets angry, those who wish to know should leave early so as not to implicate others."
"This reporter really has no tact, doesn’t he know the old master hates people prying into his affairs? Moreover, this reporter seems to be from a new newspaper, probably an intern."
"Alright, don’t you actually want to know either? You seem more gossipy than the reporter. Let’s just sit here and watch the drama unfold. If things go wrong, that reporter will take the fall."
At this mont, both Xiao Zhen and the butler looked at the young man, who did not reveal any fear due to everyone’s questions. His face showed a timid smile yet was quite composed, appearing especially pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Keyi turned her head, frowning at the young man beside her, rembering that there hadn’t been such a relative before, wondering when he ca along, with no hints from her grandfather.
But Yiyang Qianxi, leaning on his cane, laughed heartily.
"Since everyone is so eager to know, I actually planned to announce this matter after announcing the heir to the enterprise, but I might as well satisfy everyone’s curiosity first."
Hearing that Yiyang Qianxi was going to resolve everyone’s questions, they couldn’t help but be amazed. Yiyang Qianxi was out of character; he would have scolded everyone before revealing the answer, and sotis might not have even disclosed it.
Yiyang Qianxi pulled Su Zining over, holding Xiao Keyi with his left hand, Su Zining with his right, creating a very harmonious scene.
