What?
I was startled and turned to look at him, speechless.
"You're saying your company did tonight's drone light show?"
"Hmm. However, this isn't the best team. The best team has been borrowed by a Middle Eastern tycoon for a high price. We'll just have to make do with this one tonight."
He spoke so casually, and I admired him immensely.
Then it suddenly dawned on me—no wonder he's so rich!
The elevator took us to the top floor.
The revolving restaurant was decorated in a festive yet elegant style, and the guests were dressed in fine clothes, chatting and laughing.
When Chen Muxi saw me, she happily came up to me: "Jiang Wan, you've finally come! I've been saying for days that I wanted to visit you, but my brother wouldn't allow it, saying I was too noisy and might disturb your recovery. How is your leg? Is it better?"
I looked down and lifted my knees, then smiled and said, "It's almost healed. As long as you don't jump around, walking slowly is fine."
"Miss Jiang, it's nice to see you again."
Ye Yuntang stood to the side with a glass of champagne, greeted me politely, then glanced at Su Shenglin and teased, "I thought you were going to have some alone time and weren't coming."
Su Shenglin glanced at me and smiled, "There are plenty of opportunities for two people to enjoy time together. The New Year's Eve fireworks only happen once a year, so of course we have to come."
I didn't say anything, but my cheeks were already starting to heat up.
It seems everyone has accepted my relationship with Su Shenglin, and I'm now completely unable to defend myself.
Chen Muxi took my arm, her serene and beautiful eyes lifting mysteriously, "There's a big show tonight, you can't miss it!"
The main event?
My ears twitched, and I instinctively asked, "What's the highlight?"
"You'll find out soon enough. Come on, let's go get something to eat first." Chen Muxi refused to tell me and pulled me inside.
I didn't ask any more questions, but I already had a guess in my mind.
It seems that Su Shenglin really did make a big move tonight.
Once inside, I realized that the entire revolving restaurant had been booked out.
There were more than twenty men and women in total, and many of them were faces I had seen at Mrs. Su's birthday banquet.
A significant portion of them had commissioned haute couture from my studio during this period, and some even had custom-made pieces made by me. We've become acquainted.
When they saw me appear with Su Shenglin, they all just smiled ambiguously and none of them asked any further questions.
Everyone was very friendly and polite to me, and I could tell that it was mostly because of Su Shenglin.
The ball began, and Chen Muxi was invited to dance by a young master.
My legs are not very mobile, so I can only sit on the side and admire the handsome men and beautiful women.
As soon as Su Shenglin entered, Ye Yuntang pulled him away to chat with several peers who also looked like elites.
Perhaps noticing that I was alone, he quickly appeared and asked with concern, "Aren't you bored? There's a fantastic drone light show and fireworks show coming up later, I'm sure you'll love it."
I smiled and comforted him, "You don't need to come all this way to keep me company. I'm perfectly fine eating and drinking here quietly."
“I brought you here, so of course I have to keep you company. Two of the people who greeted me just now had just returned from abroad and I hadn’t seen them for more than half a year, so we chatted for a while.”
While explaining why he had to leave, Su Shenglin took my hand and stood up. "Come on, come sit with me for a while, and I'll introduce you to my friend."
I was surprised. "Is this really necessary?"
"Of course, they might be expanding your business again. They all bring their female companions with them."
Before I could refuse, Su Shenglin took my hand and led me there.
Thinking about how he never forgets to help me expand my clientele, I couldn't help but ask curiously, "With your status and position, you could easily find a royal princess, but you're so fond of a tailor and keep bringing me clients. Aren't you afraid your friends will laugh at you behind your back?"
Su Shenglin turned around and said very seriously, "They all trust my judgment. If I like something, even if they don't know it or what's good about it, they can still be sure it's good."
"..." I stared at him, dumbfounded.
Is this the kind of intimidating power that big shots at the top of power and wealth possess?
"Besides, you have the looks, the talent, and the career. You've built your reputation from scratch, so you're no less than those second or third-generation rich kids."
I stared at him blankly, and once again I was amazed—how could there be such a cultured person in the world?
Every word he uttered felt like a gentle breeze, soothing and comforting to the very core of one's being.
My heart is falling again, with overwhelming force.
While I was still in a daze, Su Shenglin had already led me over and introduced me to his friends one by one.
Coincidentally, the female companion of one of the young men was the editor-in-chief of a well-known international fashion magazine. After Su Shenglin introduced me, she happily shook hands with me and said she wanted to arrange an exclusive interview with me.
Knowing that I would be going to Milan in a few days to prepare for the fashion show after the New Year, I was happy to agree to an interview with that fashion magazine, as it would greatly benefit my personal reputation and the expansion of the brand image.
Just as Su Shenglin said, every time he broadened my horizons, he was able to help me in my career.
He is truly a benefactor in my life.
After meeting his friend, I went to the restroom.
Not long after I closed the cubicle, I heard several more footsteps enter.
Then, an awkward scene unfolded.
"That Jiang Wan, isn't she trending on social media these past few days? I heard she's divorced."
"Yes, at first I thought I had mistaken someone for someone else! What was Mr. Su thinking? There are so many elegant ladies out there, why did he have to pick a second-hand one?"
"Shh...don't talk nonsense, or you'll get into trouble."
