Chapter 77
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Qi Xin: "Impossible! The golden invitation sent to your family was returned. Who gave you this one?"
Nan Tao: "Don't worry about who gave it to me. My seat is definitely in the first row. If there's no seat card for me, it's your fault, Qi family."
Qi Xin's heart skipped a beat, but then she remembered she was the organizer and said firmly, "So what? I'm the organizer. If I say you don't have it, then you don't have it. Even if you show me the golden invitation, it's useless!"
The dispute between the two gradually attracted the attention of the guests.
"Who is this woman? She actually has a golden invitation in her hand."
"I've never seen this person in the circle. Does anyone know his name?"
"Hasn't the Qi family become a little arrogant these past two years? They already have a golden invitation, and you're saying there's no room? How insulting."
"Since the Qi family is the organizer this time, I think this woman is going to be in trouble."
"So what if they're the organizer? They have no rules at all. Everyone knows that the first row of charity auctions over the years has been occupied by those with golden invitations."
The guests were talking among themselves.
Qi Xin's face froze when he heard everyone's discussion, but it had come to this point. He was stuck here, unable to retreat or advance. He stared at Nan Tao with resentment. If Nan Tao hadn't insisted on arguing with him for the position, this incident would never have happened.
Qi Xin gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want? I've already told you there's no place for you. There's no place for you. Go somewhere else and don't bother anyone here. You don't want to make a big fuss and end up in the headlines, do you?"
Nan Tao was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a group of people entering the conference hall. She pretended to be sad and said, "You are right. Your Qi family is the organizer. You can bully me, a person with no status and no background, however you want. You said there is no place for me here, then there is no place for me."
As she spoke, Nan Tao deliberately shook the golden invitation in her hand in the air so that people walking behind her could see it more easily.
Sure enough, the next second, Shen Bei hurried forward and said, "Xinxin, what's wrong? She has a golden invitation in her hand, so how come there is no seat? I clearly arranged it."
Qi Xin bit her lip, "Who knows if what she got is real or fake."
Shen Bei frowned, looked at Nan Tao, and was stunned for a moment, "You got a golden invitation?"
Nan Tao said with a smile: "What else? Look carefully, is it true or false, don't wrongly accuse me."
Shen Bei took the invitation letter and saw the signature and seal on it, confirming that it was authentic. Seeing the words "Nan Tao" on it, he was a little surprised, "Your surname is Nan too?"
Nan Tao raised an eyebrow: "Why, from your tone it seems that I can't have the surname Nan?"
Shen Bei quickly apologized with a smile, "How could it be, you misunderstood, since what you took is real..."
"Chen Bei!" Qi Xin stood up and shouted.
Shen Bei frowned, suppressed the displeasure in his eyes, turned back and coaxed, "Wife, don't make a fuss now that there are so many people here. Dad said that this charity auction is very important to the Qi family, and there must be no problems."
Qi Xin: "Don't use Dad to pressure me! Her place is not here, let her sit in the back row."
Shen Bei took a deep breath and coaxed in a low voice: "Be good, don't be upset, the golden invitation in her hand is real, how can you chase her to the back and stand there with so many guests watching, where will our Qi family put their face?"
Qi Xin: "You're leaning towards her right after we just met. What do you mean? Is it because she's pretty? You like her too, right?"
Shen Bei was impatient, and he suppressed his anger and coaxed softly: "What nonsense are you talking about, be good, stop making trouble."
Qi Xin sneered: "Are you admitting it? And you said I was making a fuss, what did I make a fuss about?"
Nan Tao watched the couple quarreling, covering her lips and laughing, she was extremely happy.
Yu Zhengyang stared at Shen Bei expressionlessly, his deep black eyes were extremely oppressive.
Shen Bei's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was even more annoyed with Qi Xin. He had finally invited President Yu this time and tried his best to show himself in front of President Yu, but in the end, it was all ruined by this woman Qi Xin. If he couldn't even arrange a small seat properly, how could President Yu think highly of his abilities? How could he climb up to the Yu Group in the future?
After figuring it out, Shen Bei’s face turned cold and he scolded: “Stop making trouble, there are so many distinguished guests watching.”
Then, regardless of Qi Xin's shocked and angry expression, he beckoned Liu Ling over and instructed, "Go and see where Miss Nan was supposed to be sitting in the first row."
Hearing this, Liu Ling hesitated to speak. He looked at Qi Xin, lowered his head, and stammered, "This..."
Shen Bei softened his voice, “It’s okay, go get the seating chart and show it to me.”
Liu Ling shrank back and glanced at Qi Xin, her voice tinged with tears, "Mr. Shen, I..."
Shen Bei knew that Liu Ling was afraid of Qi Xin, which added another layer of dissatisfaction with Qi Xin. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the voice of Qi's father chatting with someone else coming from far away in the crowd.
"What's going on!" Qi's father walked in with a dark face, pushing through the crowd.
Shen Bei briefly explained the situation, and then completely shirked his responsibility, putting all the blame on Qi Xin.
Standing next to Qi's father was the president of the charitable fund under the Yu Group. He was startled after hearing this, afraid that President Yu would blame him. After all, it was he who recommended the Qi family as the organizer this time and persuaded everyone to vote unanimously. If something went wrong, he would definitely be implicated.
The charity foundation president bowed slightly to Mr. Yu, then said expressionlessly, "Mr. Qi, is this what you meant by a well-organized event? Aren't you betraying my trust? This kind of problem has never occurred in previous events."
Qi's father smiled flatteringly, then angrily scolded Qi Xin, "You useless piece of shit, why don't you quickly arrange a seat for the distinguished guest?"
The charity foundation president smiled faintly and said, "President Qi truly loves his daughter. This is the first time I've seen the children of an organizer put themselves in the front row. If this gets out, won't everyone think President Qi is abusing his power as the organizer?"
When Qi's father saw Qi Xin's nameplate on his desk, his face burned with pain. He angrily slapped Qi Xin, "You bastard!"
Qi Xin covered her face in disbelief and sobbed softly.
Shen Bei advised: “Dad, Xinxin is still young and doesn’t understand. Please don’t get angry and hurt your body.”
Father Qi became even angrier. "Still young? Whose almost thirty-year-old is still so willful and spoiled? I've spoiled her!"
Qi Xin retorted dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean thirty? I'm still two years away from that age."
Qi's father was so angry that his heart ached. "Shut up!"
Qi Xin shut up in grievance.
Father Qi turned to look at Nan Tao, "It's Xiao Tao, why didn't you tell Uncle Qi that you were here?"
Nan Tao put on a fake polite smile and said, "I'm sorry to bother you since you're so busy."
Yu Zhengyang coughed lightly.
The president of the charity foundation quickly interrupted Qi's father and said, "Let the auction begin."
Father Qi angrily took back his words and said, "Xiaobei, go see where Miss Nan is."
Shen Bei quickly brought over the seating chart, “Next to President Yu.”
The guests who were watching the fun and gossiping around exclaimed and all looked at Qi Xin.
Qi Xin's face turned pale and blue, she bit her lip and lowered her head, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Father Qi cursed angrily, "Useless thing, why don't you make room for Miss Nan? What are you still doing sitting there? Are you trying to make a fool of yourself?"
Qi Xin was angry but dared not say anything, and gave up his seat in grievance.
Nan Taoyang smiled, "Thank you."
Qi Xin clenched his fingers and sat back in his seat in the third row dejectedly.
As the person in charge of the organizer, Qi's father greeted the important guests in the first row, and then asked Shen Bei to prepare for the auction to begin.
After a while, the lights in the conference room went out, leaving only a beam of light at the podium on the left side of the front T-stage. As the auction speaker explained the auction items, the PPT screen on the big screen on the T-stage turned pages synchronously.
Nan Tao stared at the big screen intently.
[Ahhh, can you please hurry up? When will Liu Ling come on stage to give the presentation?]
[I'm so anxious! How long will it take? I'm almost falling asleep.]
[Okay, this one is finally over, and the next one is coming up.]
[When will it be the Liu family's turn to auction the items?]
[I waited until the flowers wilted.]
Yu Zhengyang listened to his wife's complaints and turned to look over from time to time.
Nan Tao noticed his gaze, quickly sat up straight, and took out her cell phone to send a message.
Peach is not a pumpkin: What are you looking at? What if someone finds you? Stop looking.
Yu Zhengyang: My wife is cute.
Peach is not Pumpkin: Your style has changed suddenly recently, please maintain your cool personality.
Yu Zhengyang raised the corners of his lips slightly, lowered his head to edit a text message: I won’t look at you anymore.
Peach is not a pumpkin: You must be kidding, you were clearly looking at me just now.
Yu Zhengyang: How do you know I’m looking at you if you don’t look at me?
Peach is not a pumpkin: I am going to be angry. Angry pumpkin.jpg
Yu Zhengyang: Pat on the head.jpg I won’t look at you anymore.
Nan Tao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had finally behaved himself. At this moment, Liu Ling stood on the podium with a USB drive in his hand.
【Ahhh, Liu Ling is on stage. 】
【The exciting moment is coming, come on, I'm rooting for you. 】
[Later, I should hit Qi Xin first and then Chen Bei.]
Yu Zhengyang rubbed his temples helplessly.
Nan Tao's eyes lit up as she stared at Liu Ling opening the PPT, then turned her head to look back at Qi Xin and Shen Bei who were sitting in the third row and had no idea what was going on.
【Hahaha, Shen Bei is still coaxing Qi Xin. 】
[What expression would Shen Bei have if he found out that the child in Qi Xin's belly was not his? ]
Liu Ling on the stage also looked at the two people in the third row, then clicked on the PPT. "Hello everyone, I'm Liu Ling. On behalf of the Liu family, I'd like to introduce the products donated for this charity auction. I hope it will bring you surprises."
Nan Tao covered her lips to suppress her laughter.
[Hahaha, what a surprise! It was clearly a shock.]
【Liu Ling is really good at speaking.】
[Ahhh, Liu Ling is turning the page in the PPT.]
[Oh my god, this is amazing. So that's how it is. Hahaha. Liu Ling is such a genius. It's a shame that she didn't become an actor in the film and television industry.]
On the catwalk, after Liu Ling turned the page of the PPT, she saw that the private photos of Qi Xin and a male college student were playing on the big screen. She was immediately panicked, her eyes turned red with fright, and tears were welling up in her eyes, threatening to fall.
When the guests in the audience saw the chaotic scene of men and women on the big screen, they all widened their eyes excitedly, their gazes switching back and forth between Qi Xin, Chen Bei and the big screen, and they all whispered to each other to express their opinions.
“Oh, usually these two seem to be very close and show their affection, but I didn’t expect that Shen Bei would have a green head.”
"Poor Shen Bei, such a good family man, capable and loving to his wife, but in the end..."
“There’s no way, who made Shen Bei have no background? He can’t compare to my wife’s family who are powerful.”
"I didn't expect the daughter of the Qi family to have so much fun in private. It's really immoral."
