"Hey, isn't that the girl from the Shen family here?"
"She seems to have become even more beautiful since I last saw her."
"Do you think she had plastic surgery? Otherwise, how could she lose so much weight and become so much prettier all of a sudden? It's unbelievable!"
"Ha, is that even a question? She definitely had plastic surgery! Otherwise, how could she have lost so much weight all at once? I've heard that plastic surgery has many side effects; she'll suffer for it later!"
"Hehe, do you think that young master Zhao is only seeing other women because she had plastic surgery?"
"That's very possible!"
A group of so-called socialites and wealthy women couldn't help but secretly gloat and mock him.
After all, many people can't stand to see others do well. Moreover, Zhao Chen left a very deep impression when he first appeared on screen.
Moreover, some of Zhao Chen's past feats have gradually been unearthed.
This only made these socialites feel even more resentful.
The main reason is that Shen Qingyue was really not that great before.
Her obese appearance and utterly useless talent both speak to the ordinariness of this girl.
When someone consistently stands above them, preventing them from ever rising above others, they will always look up to them. Because they know very well that they can never catch up to that person.
However, if someone who was originally inferior to them suddenly becomes better than them, or marries someone better, they will always try their best to slander or even ruin that person's marriage.
Envy and jealousy often make people repulsive...
But Shen Qingyue didn't care about any of that. Hadn't she received enough criticism at school before?
Those guys are even less cautious than these socialites and heiresses.
This is the capital city, after all, and everyone here is a person of standing. Even if they want to gossip, they only dare to do it in private and would never dare to act recklessly in public.
That's why everyone knows one thing: even if they want to talk badly about someone or spread rumors, they can't do it in front of Shen Qingyue.
Otherwise, things will look bad once the facade crumbles.
The organizer of this tea party was none other than the Qi family, an old acquaintance of Zhao Chen's, who were from Alice's mother's side of the family.
Alice was also in the venue at that moment. When she saw Shen Qingyue coming over, she immediately came over and took her hand affectionately.
"Xiaoyue, it's been a while since I've seen you, you've become even more beautiful! You look radiant!"
"Looks like you and Zhao Chen are doing quite well, living a very comfortable life."
Alice couldn't help but tease her as soon as she saw her.
Shen Qingyue smiled calmly and said, "It's alright. Achen is really good to me, and we are very happy together."
"Alice, I heard you're back in Beijing too? At Beijing University, right?"
"Didn't your family want you to finish your university studies abroad? Why are you staying here?"
Upon hearing this, Alice's eyes lit up and she said, "Isn't it all thanks to your husband's incredibly accurate judgment? He said that the next twenty years will be a period of rapid development for Eastern brokerage."
"In fact, we have witnessed the development of the East over the past ten years."
Then, Zhao Chen said that in the coming period, the East will become even stronger and more glorious, with many opportunities.
"We all think about staying here to seize the opportunity and see if there will be a good development."
“By now, our Williams family has a lot of collaboration with him. Especially on my side, the projects we're working on with him are all in the East. If I leave here and go abroad, wouldn't someone else be reaping the benefits?”
"I would never do something so stupid."
Hearing Alice say this, Shen Qingyue smiled and nodded. Actually, she had already guessed the general reason.
Alice has made a fortune from her collaborations with Zhao Chen, so how could she possibly be willing to leave now? Don't be ridiculous!
The right thing to do is to cling tightly to Zhao Chen's leg.
Although the internet has made it possible for people to stay connected even across oceans, communication delays still occur frequently when people are thousands of miles apart.
Being in the same city and on the same land as Zhao Chen gave Alice more confidence and made it easier for her to finalize various cooperation agreements.
Zhao Chen's career goals change so quickly that it's impossible to predict where his next target will be. Only by staying close to him can one keep up with the right direction.
Upon seeing Shen Qingyue arrive, Alice immediately asked:
"Little Yue'er, is your man really planning to enter the entertainment industry?"
"However, the entertainment industry in the East is different from that in Hong Kong and overseas. Its development is much lagging behind. Is there any business opportunity here?"
Hearing her ask this, Shen Qingyue smiled and said, "That's exactly what I asked Achen back then, and he immediately said, 'In the past ten years or so, compared to international standards, in which aspect has the East not lagged behind? Haven't we caught up in everything now?'"
Well, Alice smacked her lips and agreed.
The development momentum in the East is so strong that it has attracted global attention.
The developments will likely accelerate even further.
With a significant boost to economic development, the entertainment industry is bound to flourish.
When people have money, they naturally want to have fun and enrich their lives; this is a very normal spiritual need.
Therefore, Zhao Chen's explanation makes a lot of sense.
Alice believed in Zhao Chen's strategic vision.
After all, his predictions about future trends were incredibly accurate. His precise control was something even Alice couldn't help but admire.
This is also why the Williams family has always wanted to cooperate with Zhao Chen.
Although Zhao Chen made his first fortune in the foreign capital market, the Williams family gained far more!
It's even an astronomical figure in the eyes of many.
This is something most people can't imagine.
Therefore, in their eyes, Zhao Chen was like a god of wealth.
Alice's top priority now is to hold on tightly to the God of Wealth.
Therefore, it was impossible for her to leave the land of the East at this time, and she even wished she could have close contact with Zhao Chen every day.
Alice still remembers the instructions her family gave her: she must win over Zhao Chen, this powerful figure, no matter what.
When necessary, it is worthwhile to even submit to the other party, as this can actually strengthen the bond.
Alice was completely stunned when she heard the instruction.
Of course, this is a last resort. Alice is an ambitious woman; she's perfectly content to be beautiful on her own.
But to be honest, after working with Zhao Chen several times, she had to admit that Zhao Chen was very charming and attractive to her.
If it really comes to that, she feels it's not impossible...
But this isn't something she can decide on her own; it also depends on Shen Qingyue's attitude.
But Shen Qingyue didn't seem to be intolerant of Zhao Chen having other women around him. This sparked a lot of ideas in Alice's mind.
Especially after hearing Zhao Chen's decision to venture into a new field, she couldn't help but become enthusiastic again.
