This evening, the Rihao Hotel was closed to the public, as the entire venue celebrated Hao Tianfeng's 80th birthday. Ning Wanxi entered the lobby and promptly placed a small red envelope on the reception desk. Luo Chao noted the small envelope, certain that, given President Ning's status, it must contain a cash cheque, likely worth several tens of thousands.
With Ning Wanxi's status, her entrance into the lobby naturally made her the center of attention. Countless eyes turned to her. Even though Luo Chao possessed a handso face, standing behind Ning Wanxi, he was unmistakably seen as just a bodyguard, so people overlooked him directly.
Under the guidance of the staff, Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi entered a grand hall of nearly 1,000 square ters, often used to host weddings. Hosting an event here guaranteed one was either rich or of high status.
At the back of the grand hall, there were 108 jade stone dining tables. Close to the stage at the front was an open area, with a red carpet laid out, already filled with nurous people exchanging greetings. These were the elites of Jiangning City.
As Ning Wanxi walked over the red carpet, she imdiately stood out like a crane among chickens. Her picturesque features and the unique, icy beauty of her aura drew countless gazes.
"Hello, President Ning!" Many n who admired Ning Wanxi stepped forward to greet her, but Ning Wanxi only responded coolly and briefly, "Hello!"
Her cold, frosty deanor left many feeling snubbed. They laughed awkwardly and withdrew, not even daring to think about shaking hands with her due to President Ning's notoriety and reputed prowess, which were quite intimidating.
On the red carpet, many waiters carried fine red wine back and forth. When one server passed by Luo Chao, he deftly picked a glass of red wine from the tray and took a gentle sip, exclaiming in admiration, "82' French red wine, not bad!"
"Looks like this isn't your first ti at such an event," Ning Wanxi comnted softly, standing beside him.
Luo Chao's behavior surprised her. He showed no hint of curiosity, effortlessly picking up a glass of wine and tasting it. His ability to identify the wine's vintage and origin indicated that Luo Chao seed familiar with such upscale venues.
Ning Wanxi coldly remarked again, "If I told others you used to work as a security guard at the company, I doubt anyone would believe it."
Luo Chao laughed aloud, "President Ning, you're joking. As you said, I was so poor before I could scarcely afford food. So I often crept into such venues to freeload, hence becoming accustod to it."
Ning Wanxi snorted with sarcasm but said no more. She was too lazy to converse with soone who spouted lies. The security at such high-end gatherings was extrely tight; how could a random person slip in?
Ridiculous! Sotis Ning Wanxi felt a strong dislike for him because he rarely spoke a word of truth. Though curious about Luo Chao's past, her aloof and elegant nature prevented her from actively inquiring.
Luo Chao watched as President Ning walked off to sit at a bar table, seemingly upset with him, and shook his head with a sigh. Silly girl, the less you know about , the better it is for you.
"Hey handso, care to have a drink with ?" As Ning Wanxi stepped away, a woman dressed in an alluring manner walked over. Her blue gown was provocatively low-cut, almost revealing her entire ample bosom.
Luo Chao glanced at the deep cleavage, understanding that a woman's bosom is like ti; if squeezed, it appears more pronounced.
With a clink, Luo Chao raised his glass and lightly touched hers. "It would be an honor!" Even if he wasn't interested in the alluring woman, Luo Chao would still act gentlemanly in such a setting.
The woman flirtatiously smiled, "I noticed you were talking with President Ning of Tengyuan earlier. You seem familiar with each other. May I know your na?"
Luo Chao chuckled, "Just an inconspicuous nobody."
"Handso, surely you jest. President Ning is such a significant figure and barely speaks to other n. If you're a nobody, then I'm nothing more than a frog in the well," the alluring woman chuckled, batting her mascara-laden lashes flirtatiously.
It appeared that Luo Chao's identity was quite extraordinary, coupled with an impressive appearance that naturally attracted attention. Luo Chao fully understood that a little self-promotion would easily have this woman eagerly awaiting him in bed.
"The reason I could talk with President Ning is because..." Luo Chao paused, piquing the woman's curiosity to the extre. She leaned forward eagerly, "Go on, tell !"
A wicked smile played on Luo Chao's lips. "Because I'm President Ning's bodyguard!"
"..." The alluring woman was montarily stunned, taking a while to process and then swishing her skirt. "Bullshit, what nonsense is this? A bodyguard dressed like a young master!"
"Uncle!" a delighted voice called out just as the alluring woman hadn't gone far. A girl, dressed like a little princess, joyfully ran over; it was none other than the mischievous Hao Keren.
Hao Keren, who had been playing beside her parents, spotted Luo Chao and rushed over, clutching his arm with a giggle, "Uncle, what brings you here!"
Isn't this the young lady of the Hongxing Group, Hao Tianfeng's cherished jewel! The alluring woman stood frozen as if spellbound, staring at Hao Keren affectionately clinging to Luo Chao's arm, so intimately close.
How could a bodyguard be so warmly received by the young lady of Hongxing? The woman felt sothing amiss, regretting not seizing this golden opportunity. This person was definitely extraordinary, dressed so dashing. With a lowly status, President Ning would have certainly ignored him.
Reflecting on this, the alluring woman felt dizzy, nearly shedding tears for losing such a big catch!
Hao Keren's actions rattled everyone present, all surprised as they gazed at the unfamiliar face of Luo Chao. Who was he to please the Hao family's young lady so imnsely upon sight?
Luo Chao was aware of Ning Wanxi's cold gaze directed over there. Liberating his arm from the little girl's embrace, he smiled, "I'm not an employee of the Tengyuan Group. I'm here accompanying our president tonight."
In Jiangning, the Hongxing Group and the Tengyuan Group were the two towering enterprises. With the Hongxing Group Chairman's 80th birthday, it was natural for Tengyuan to attend, along with other large companies' chairn and presidents. Spotting Ning Wanxi, Hao Keren whispered, "Uncle, Ning Wanxi is very dangerous. You must keep a safe distance from her."
