She accepted the money, and a few people became less cold-faced, but she still ignored him.
After a few times, he gave up. Tell me, which employee in the world would dare to give their boss such a cold shoulder?
This morning, Su Yuxi received a gift box delivered by a deliveryman.
Wan Qianqian said she would pick a man for her, and she really did. In order to ensure that she could attend the welcoming banquet safely, the banquet was renamed the Masked Ball.
Su Yuxi picked up the black fox mask, her fingertips tracing its hard outline, and gently tugged at the two feathers that fluttered on either side.
I must say, it looks pretty good.
Curious, she tried it on. The exquisite mask was custom-made for her, perfectly concealing the ugly black mark on her face. Wearing it didn't feel out of place at all; instead, it added a touch of mystery and alluring charm to her.
There was also an evening gown that her sister had carefully chosen for her, which she didn't touch, but instead put away untouched.
Night fell as scheduled, and the clock struck seven.
As soon as the time came, Su Yuxi turned away from the man and left work immediately, not wanting to stay even a second longer, leaving Fu Huaijin hesitant to speak.
She returned to her room, quickly changed her clothes, put on a beautiful makeup, and after a while, it was already eight o'clock.
To accommodate her schedule, the party started at nine o'clock tonight, and it took her an hour just for makeup and styling.
It would take at least forty minutes to get into the city from here, and she didn't have time to waste.
Su Yuxi checked herself in the mirror one last time to make sure there was nothing wrong, then grabbed her small bag and hurriedly ran upstairs, bumping right into Fu Huaijin who was coming up from downstairs.
When Fu Huaijin saw Su Yuxi's outfit, his sharp gaze swept over him, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Tonight, she wore a fitted black evening gown that clung tightly to her graceful figure, perfectly showcasing her beautiful curves. Her face was meticulously made up, and her hair was styled in large waves, casually cascading over her shoulders, each strand shimmering brightly under the lights.
This elegant and charming outfit made her look like a rare orchid blooming in the night, exuding both an unapproachable aloofness and an irresistible charm.
Is he going out to attend a meeting?
He felt a surge of irritation and his expression turned cold: "Where are you going so late?"
Su Yuxi was typing a message on her phone, oblivious to his cold expression, and casually replied to his question: "Qianqian asked me out, I'm going to see her."
"Go to bed early at home, I might come back later."
"I'll lend you my car." After saying that, she changed into her high heels and left without looking back.
She arrived at the garage, her gaze sweeping over the neatly arranged vehicles before finally choosing a flashy red sports car.
The moment the car drove out of the garage, she immediately accelerated, and the car sped away like a wild horse, leaving only a string of expensive engine roars echoing in the empty manor.
Fu Huaijin stood at the door, his gaze fixed on the car that had just left the bowstring, his face turning ashen.
Do I really need to dress like this to meet my best friend?
...
When Su Yuxi arrived at the location, the gathering had already begun.
Wan Qianqian's glamorous comeback ceremony after half a year was a grand affair. She even requisitioned three floors of her childhood friend's hotel for free. The sheer scale of the event indirectly declared to everyone that she was still the same unrestrained and flamboyant beautiful girl...and cool girl she was half a year ago.
Su Yuxi sneaked in, and as soon as she stepped into the venue, she was greeted by dazzling decorations and exquisitely dressed men and women.
Although Wan Qianqian's words and actions were eccentric, she had been trained for half a year after all. Although she was still stubborn, her behavior had become more restrained.
After all these calls from men and women, we can't just scold her anymore.
Su Yuxi adjusted her mask, her alluring figure moving gracefully amidst the clinking of glasses, her bright, clear eyes searching for Wan Qianqian's figure.
This party was a masked party, and everyone wore unique masks. With the dim lighting, it was even more difficult to tell who was who.
She had no idea where the girl had gone; she had searched everywhere but couldn't find her.
Finally, she found a corner to sit down, took out her phone to send a message to Wan Qianqian, and just as she finished sending the message, a man sat down next to her.
Today, she wore a stunning off-shoulder dress, her exposed skin appearing even whiter in the dim light. Hidden beneath the mask were a pair of alluring fox-like eyes, a delicate and refined nose, full and moist red lips, soft facial contours, a rounded and pointed chin, and a perfectly oval face. Although the upper half of her face was covered, these few details alone were enough to tell how stunning the face beneath the mask was.
"Hello, miss, would it be a pleasure to meet you?" The man's voice was deep and resonant. He wore a black and white Zorro mask, a clean white shirt and trousers, and had a clean aura. He also wore an expensive wristwatch and seemed to be a good man.
After mentally assessing her, Su Yuxi smiled slightly and said, "Hello."
"May I sit down?" he asked politely, gesturing to the sofa next to him.
Su Yuxi nodded. She was here tonight to meet a rich man, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.
The man smiled and began to introduce himself: "My name is Qin Zheng. I just returned from abroad. I don't know your name, Miss."
"Su Yuxi".
The man raised an eyebrow upon hearing the name, and the wine glass in his hand trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he had heard of this famous figure.
Because of the heated online discussions a few days ago, even though he doesn't usually follow entertainment headlines, his younger sister keeps chattering away in his ear about these gossip stories about wealthy families.
He only heard it once.
Out of good manners, he did not ask questions he shouldn't have.
"Su Yuxi...is a very nice name."
Su Yuxi gave a dry chuckle: "It's alright."
Qin Zheng took a sip of wine, suppressing his nervousness, and smiled at her: "What does Miss Su usually like to do?"
Usually, it's the women who take the initiative to approach him and strike up conversations, and he only responds politely with a few words. Today is the first time he has taken the initiative to start a conversation with someone.
It all stemmed from the moment she arrived; her captivating figure instantly drew his gaze.
After finally waiting for her to find a place to sit down, he couldn't wait to rush over and get to know her.
"What to do?" Su Yuxi thought about it seriously, but there really wasn't anything special. She was a rather lazy person. Besides cooking, she liked to lie down and watch TV or sleep.
"It's alright, nothing special."
Qin Zheng's smile faltered slightly. This was the first time he had experienced someone's perfunctory words. Did this mean she had no interest in getting to know him?
But in order to get the beautiful woman's contact information, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue chatting.
"Really? Heh."
