The rose was pinned in Li Susu's hair, perfectly matching her fiery red dress.
"Yes, it's beautiful."
"Youth is indeed a beautiful asset."
Yu Xin praised her, which earned her a soft thank you from Li Susu.
Bai Weiwei watched the interaction between the two and was about to say something when she heard the vibration from her handbag.
She opened it and glanced at it; it was her father.
Yu Xin was chatting happily with Li Susu when Bai Weiwei, furious, left the flower hall without saying goodbye.
As soon as I answered the phone, my father's deep, questioning voice came through the receiver.
"Have you met with President Yu? I heard that there are two partners for this project?"
What's going on?
Bai Weiwei bit her lip, not expecting her father to find out so quickly.
She was the one who negotiated this project, and she was completely kept in the dark.
"Dad, this was President Yu's decision, and I really didn't know about it beforehand."
"You didn't know? The contract was already signed, and you didn't even know the details?"
"Bai Weiwei, you have really disappointed me!"
Bai Weiwei couldn't help but retort as she listened to her father's lecture.
"Dad, this project was very difficult to negotiate, and I put in a lot of effort to get it signed. You didn't even have a clear understanding of the details, did you?"
"Besides, even if the Li family also signs the project, it won't affect us. At most, it'll just be a matter of equals."
What's the rush?
Bai Weiwei's rebuttal made Bai Mian even angrier.
"Idiot! What do you mean by 'evenly matched'? Where did you hear that? Yu Xin's project clearly gave the unimportant parts to the Bai family, while handing over all the important parts to the Li family!"
Bai Weiwei tightened her grip on her phone, then turned incredulously to look at the two people chatting happily in the flower hall.
Yu Xin and Li Susu were like best friends, chatting and laughing as they discussed the flowers in their hands.
This scene was extremely ironic to Bai Weiwei.
"What kind of work are you doing? How could you not know such important information?!"
"The Li family is the real protagonist of this cooperation banquet. You have completely disgraced the Bai family!"
Her father's angry roar still echoed in her ears. After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Bai Weiwei to explain.
Bai Weiwei bit her lip as she listened to the busy signal on the other end.
She was all dressed up tonight, but at this moment she looked like a joke.
Even so, she couldn't leave now, so she could only pretend to be dignified and go to the front yard.
My father has disappeared; he has probably already left.
Her appearance still attracted the attention of many people. Some people, who had learned in advance about Yu Xin's cooperation with the Bai family, rushed to get close to her.
Bai Weiwei smiled politely as she dealt with these people, her eyes searching for Fu Xingzhou's figure in the room.
Fu Xingzhou and Yu Xin have a good relationship; he should be coming tonight.
As long as he appears, Bai Weiwei can still find a way to turn the tables on Li Susu.
She skillfully navigated the social landscape, engaging with the guests for quite some time, and there was little time left before the banquet began.
Fu Xingzhou still did not appear.
Is he not coming tonight?
The lights suddenly dimmed, and a beam of light shone on Yu Xin and Li Susu.
The two walked hand in hand into the front yard, the only two protagonists of the night.
"Welcome everyone to the dinner at Rose Manor. Let me introduce you to the lady next to me, Ms. Li Susu, our partner for this project."
