Chapter 547: Chapter 547: The Astounding Ouyang Feifei
Mr. Chen Jiahai was an even bigger na than Ouyang Feifei, arriving a few minutes later than her. By the ti he reached the venue, the emcee had already started speaking. He made a grander entrance than Ouyang Feifei, with a considerable entourage accompanying him.
As soon as he entered, all eyes were on him, and even the emcee stopped speaking.
“I’m sorry for being late. Really, I apologize,” Mr. Chen Jiahai extended his hand to the high-ranking health official who ca to greet him, shook it enthusiastically, and sincerely offered his apologies, explaining, “There was a traffic jam on the way, making everyone wait, and for that, I’m truly sorry.”
“We are delighted to have Mr. Chen at the cocktail party today,” the high-ranking health official said with a smile, exchanging pleasantries, “We hope Mr. Chen can also say a few words on stage later.”
“Certainly, certainly,” Mr. Chen Jiahai agreed with a beaming smile and shook hands with the other officials and so distinguished guests.
When Mr. Chen Jiahai entered, he saw Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling but he first greeted the officials before walking over to Ouyang Feifei. It would have been impolite to ignore the officials and guests who ca to greet him.
“Feifei, I thought you wouldn’t attend the cocktail party today,” Mr. Chen Jiahai reached Ouyang Feifei and extended his hand with a beaming smile, “I’m so happy to see you here unexpectedly.”
Ouyang Feifei extended her small hand, gave Mr. Chen Jiahai a gentle shake, and then, pointing to Luo Ziling beside her, said, “I’m accompanying him here.”
Of course, Mr. Chen Jiahai had noticed Luo Ziling beside Ouyang Feifei but didn’t imdiately associate him with the Luo Ziling he had seen before because today’s Luo Ziling looked too dashing, a stark difference from the previous two encounters.
He had initially thought the handso man standing next to Ouyang Feifei was one of the young masters who had co to attend the cocktail party and happened to greet Ouyang Feifei, so he didn’t pay much attention.
Hearing Ouyang Feifei say this, he suddenly felt alard and took a serious look at Luo Ziling before finally recognizing him.
Upon recognition, his expression changed in an instant. But he quickly resud his normal deanor, smilingly extending his hand to Luo Ziling, “I did not expect to et Mr. Luo at this ti. I was rude just now, and I truly apologize for that.”
“Maybe Feifei made too handso today, so Mr. Chen didn’t recognize ,” Luo Ziling also chuckled, delivering a backhanded complint to Mr. Chen Jiahai.
Mr. Chen Jiahai was taken aback by this remark, and even the quietly standing Ouyang Feifei was slightly surprised, but she just glanced indifferently at Luo Ziling and didn’t say anything.
Mr. Chen Jiahai looked at Luo Ziling and then at Ouyang Feifei, eventually smiling awkwardly: “It seems Mr. Luo ca with Feifei today, right?”
“Just catching a ride in Feifei’s luxury car and borrowing a bit of her light to be treated as a guest.” Luo Ziling said this self-deprecating line quite confidently.
The emcee had begun speaking on stage by that ti, and all the guests fell silent, including the highly anticipated Ouyang Feifei, Luo Ziling, and Mr. Chen Jiahai, who all ceased their conversation.
After the emcee invited a few important leaders to give speeches, they also requested Ouyang Feifei and Mr. Chen Jiahai, both significant figures, to co on stage and say a few words.
Ouyang Feifei was the actual Sect Leader of the Ouyang Family, and Chen Jiahai was the eldest grandson of the senior branch of the Chen Family. At a young age, he was entrusted with high hopes by the Family Head, Chen Ruchang, and was put in direct charge of several important companies within the family’s portfolio. Both were influential figures in Yanjing; however, Chen Jiahai was more high-profile compared to Ouyang Feifei, hence more widely known.
That Chen Jiahai attended today’s reception had surprised many guests; they had thought it impossible to invite such an esteed figure.
In the minds of many, the officials present were not as significant as Mr. Chen, Chen Jiahai. Although he did not hold a governnt position, his influence was greater than most people there.
After the host invited Ouyang Feifei and Chen Jiahai to give a speech, neither declined and they both walked onto the stage together.
Ladies first was a principle that had to be honored, so Chen Jiahai courteously allowed Ouyang Feifei to go first, and as he ascended the stage, he prepared to offer his hand to help Ouyang Feifei, who was wearing high heels.
However, his seemingly natural gesture was declined by Ouyang Feifei. She picked up her long dress and quickly took a few steps ahead, not giving Chen Jiahai a chance to assist her. Although her actions were very natural and Chen Jiahai’s motion turned into a gesture of invitation, those standing close by still noticed sothing unusual, and so even saw the embarrassnt on Chen Jiahai’s face.
Upon reaching the stage, Chen Jiahai’s expression had already returned to normal; he wore a face of humble smile and made a gesture to Ouyang Feifei, inviting her to speak a few words first. To everyone’s surprise, Ouyang Feifei didn’t offer any polite platitudes or extend courtesies to the guests. Instead, she spoke a few perfunctory words with a serene deanor before launching into a speech that left the audience dumbfounded.
“Today, I am accompanying a friend to the reception. His na is Luo Ziling. His ancestors for generations were famous healers, and he stands out among researchers in the field of traditional Huaxia dicine. At his young age, he has mastered exquisite dical skills, curing many tricky illnesses. Unsatisfied with the limitations of traditional dicine, he has begun studying modern dicine from scratch at the dical University, hoping to fully integrate Eastern and Western dicine and to bring traditional Huaxia dicine to its full glory. The Luo Family’s secret dicines have miraculous therapeutic effects; several dical authorities present here have already witnessed the effects of his legendary healing techniques and secret dicines.”
Today, Ouyang Feifei was not sparing with her words, speaking at length, and it was all to sing praises for Luo Ziling.
The host on stage and Chen Jiahai, standing beside Ouyang Feifei, were stunned, as were most of the guests below the stage.
Bear in mind, there were television reporters present, filming and interviewing; Ouyang Feifei’s words and her deanor as she spoke were all recorded by the cara crews.
Ouyang Feifei paused for a mont before continuing, “I hope that at this high-level dical seminar, all the guests can benefit greatly. Mr. Luo Ziling has already entered into full collaboration with Lingyun Group. He has granted us all the patent rights to his dicines. If peers or friends in the audience are interested in collaborating with him, please discuss with Lingyun Group. We also hope that Mr. Luo Ziling’s exquisite dical skills can be shared with everyone. Promoting traditional Huaxia dicine is a mission that all healers are obliged to undertake, and both Mr. Luo Ziling and I wish to participate and are willing to take on the challenge.”
These words of Ouyang Feifei once again astonished everyone. Luo Ziling, standing in the audience, was also stunned beyond belief.
Beyond his surprise, Luo Ziling felt a mix of annoyance and embarrassnt.
How could this woman say such things in front of so many people without consulting him beforehand?
He knew that many people must have misinterpreted their relationship.
Nevertheless, Ouyang Feifei paid no heed to the surprise of the guests below the stage, the host, or Chen Jiahai. After finishing her speech, she gracefully descended the stage and walked back to Luo Ziling’s side.
The majority of the audience’s attention was now on them, causing Luo Ziling to feel a great deal of pressure.
