Morning.
As soon as Xiang Jin got out of bed, she found herself feeling dizzy.
He looks like he hasn't woken up yet.
She patted her face, forced herself to cheer up, washed up, went downstairs for breakfast, and then went to the company.
Today is the pitch session for the jewelry new product launch, the most important day for Yixin.
When Xiang Jin arrived at the company, the pitch venue had already been set up, with several VIP seats set up under the stage and flowers laid out on the tables, creating a grand scene.
"I heard that the leaders of Fengrong Design Department are going to be judges, but I don't know which ones they are."
"But no matter who comes, Kelly has the best chance of winning! Then you'll be able to enter Fengrong, and maybe even meet Master Xiao!"
Ran Fangya's eyes started to light up.
Kelly was a little shy.
She had seen Master Xiao from afar once when she went to Fengrong. His handsomeness was different from that of ordinary people. He was aloof and had no airs of humanity. He was breathtakingly beautiful.
If I could actually meet him and talk to him, would he fall in love with me...?
"Sister Kelly, you're blushing~ You don't actually like Master Xiao, do you?"
Ran Fangya's voice was a bit loud, and everyone in the hall heard it and turned to look at her.
Kelly was a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "What nonsense are you talking about? He's married, how could I possibly like him!"
"What if he wasn't married, or what if he really did marry an ugly woman?"
"That's not her place. She should take a good look at herself in the mirror. Tch." Gao Xiaowei led the third group in with an air of arrogance, her eyes filled with provocation.
"What, it's not my turn, but yours?"
Kelly rolled her eyes.
"No matter who it is, it can't be you. Don't you think so, Xiang Jin?"
Xiang Jin, who was dozing off, was suddenly called on.
She turned her head groggily, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "Huh? What?"
"Forget it, why should I ask you? Does a mistress have the right to speak?" Gao Xiaowei gave Xiang Jin a disdainful look, then turned and left.
Everyone saw clearly yesterday's fight between her and Li Shuhui.
The man's mother stormed into the house and confronted the mistress, confirming the rumors that Xiang Jin had climbed the social ladder by relying on a man.
The time for the pitch was fast approaching.
Although it was just an internal pitch, many professionals came, and with the addition of Feng Rong and Yi Xin's own people, the venue was quickly filled.
The reason for this pitch is that Fengrong has customized a necklace called "Deep Sea". The necklace will be launched in half a month and will be officially pre-sold nationwide. At the launch, the spokesperson will wear "Deep Sea".
To match this unparalleled "Deep Sea" design, Feng Rong specially sought out Yi Xin to customize the clothing worn by the spokesperson.
Today's pitch is for clothing design drafts.
Just as the "deep sea" is worth millions, this custom-made garment is sure to attract widespread attention.
Xiang Jin rubbed his groggy head.
The host was speaking, but she was seeing double and felt unable to concentrate.
She secretly got up, intending to go to the bathroom to wash her face and clear her head.
I had just turned around when I suddenly bumped into someone's arms.
The familiar, crisp fragrance immediately filled my mind.
Her whole body felt like it was on fire, and as if she had been frightened, she immediately jumped out of Murong Xiao's arms.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see the road just now."
"I'm sorry," she said again, then rushed to the bathroom.
Murong Xiao stood there, his brows furrowed, his expression not good.
The scent of her hair still lingered in his nostrils, and the touch of her hair was still so gentle and familiar... He rubbed his fingers, and shamefully, he began to miss her.
Murong Xiao, is this all you've got?
People don't like you, yet you shamelessly insist on going after them?
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, then his brows furrowed even deeper.
She seemed to have lost some weight, and her complexion wasn't good either. When I gently hugged her just now, her body temperature seemed a little high...
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao?"
Seeing that Murong Xiao had not come to his senses for a long time, Chen Anxing called out to him a couple more times.
"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom." Before anyone could react, he strode off in the direction Xiang Jin had gone.
"Heavens... Master Xiao, it's actually Master Xiao?! He actually came to Yixin?!"
Murong Xiao's appearance in the audience had already caused a small commotion.
"Wow, he's so handsome..."
"I heard he and President Xu are childhood friends. Could that be why President Xiao came to the event?" Ran Fangya asked. After all, this is just a small competition; it's hardly someone as important as him who should be judging.
“It’s possible… but why did he leave? Was he not going to look at the pitch?” Kelly asked anxiously.
"Sister, look carefully, he went to the restroom."
Kelly: "Oh..."
In the bathroom, Xiang Jin washed her face.
I'm a little more awake now, though I'm still sleepy...
She patted her forehead and prepared to return to the venue.
She bumped into a familiar chest without warning, her foot slipped, but Murong Xiao caught her quickly.
Due to inertia, she fell into his arms again.
He took the opportunity to press her head down and place his hand on her forehead.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Jin pushed him away, angrily shaking off his hand.
Murong Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he didn't have a fever...
"Miss Xiang, don't forget, it was you who said you liked me that night." He stared coldly into the fox-like eyes, his tall and imposing figure exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Xiang Jin laughed, somewhat ironically.
"Yes, I did say that, so what?"
"Just as you think, Master Xiao, I was just lying to you. Did you really believe me, Master Xiao?" Xiang Jin said, turning to leave.
Murong Xiao grabbed her wrist, but Xiang Jin struggled to break free once again.
"That's enough, Mr. Xiao. Don't make me hate you." Her eyes were still bright, but there was a hint of unfamiliarity and estrangement in them that he couldn't quite decipher.
Murong Xiao was stunned for a moment.
I felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.
Taking advantage of the break, Xiang Jin quickened her pace and slipped back to the venue.
A few minutes later, Murong Xiao walked over gracefully.
"I thought Boss Xiao had deserted at the last minute." Xu Jianshen stood there, saying with a half-smile, his gaze seemingly glancing at Xiang Jin.
"I hope Mr. Xu will still be in the mood for jokes when the draft is being approved later."
“Of course, I won’t miss any opportunity to laugh at you.” Xu Jianshen raised an eyebrow.
"Likewise."
Murong Xiao walked back to his seat and sat down in the center of the first row.
"Fang Xinman is the spokesperson for Fengrong this time. No wonder Boss Xiao came in person. Tsk tsk." Several colleagues started gossiping in the audience.
Everyone suddenly realized.
"So it was all for his little lover~~"
"I wonder just how ugly Mrs. Murong is, because even Master Xiao doesn't dare to release her photos."
"Who knows? If she weren't ugly, she wouldn't even be interested in Fang Xinman. I heard that 'Deep Sea' was only released because of Fang Xinman. Master Xiao really favors her..."
"Oh, by the way, I heard..."
