Chapter 10 : One Step Closer (2)

Several months had passed and the Alpha Corporation's 50th Anniversary had arrived. Alpha Corporation was a giant company which had several branches throughout Asia. This time, it was the headquarter's anniversary, the root of other subsidiaries of Alpha Corporations. Thus in this banquet, all of the higher-ups and elites would attend.

The banquet was held in Platinum Hotel which was one of subsidiaries of Alpha Corporation, divided into two halls, higher-ups and elites would be in the main hall while the workers would be in a smaller hall.

As a mere manager, Chen Li Xue went to the later before she was summoned by Zhao Yu Mi to the main hall. Zhao Yu Mi was not only the finance director, she would also soon be the granddaughter-in-law of Ye family so she would absolutely be in the main hall.

Chen Li Xue walked into the hall and looked for Zhao Yu Mi. She was wearing a floral knee-lenght dress with her long curly black hair. She didn't wear much make up which reflected her natural beauty. She also only used her watch in her wrist as her accessories. Shabby? No one thought so.

Though Chen Li Xue was not a rare beauty, but she was indeed a beauty with her own charm. She also had a calm demeanour which made her so noble that others might think that she was one of the heiresses.

Chen Li Xue had known it all along that this kind of banquet would be also a place for the elites to show off. So, whatever she wore would only make her as a laughingstock. To avoid being a laughing stock if she bumped into the elites, it would be better to dress accordingly and low-profile, at least they would tolerate her as she was only a mere manager.

However, she felt a little nervous as people started to look at her. ' Is there something wrong with my face or my dress ? '

She never knew that her love for taking care of her body would bring her into the limelight of the elite circle.

"Why do you look for me?", asked Chen Li Xue softly as soon as she reached Zhao Yu Mi.

"I'll introduce you to someone"

"Oh please boss, everyone here is elite"

It was impossible for someone in this circle would feel interested in her.

"Just stay beside me, the show is about to start"

Right after Zhao Yu Mi spoke, an old man in his black tuxedo walked to the stage.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thank you for supporting Alpha Corporation all these years. Your trust is a thrive for us to keep on improving. Alpha Corporation is like a  child that I have reared for 50 years. In this chance, I would like to announce that finally I can retire after working so hard all this time. Please welcome our new president of Alpha Corporation."

Soon a tall and elegant walked his way to the stage. He had the aura of the king and people around him would feel intimidated.

He looked to the crowd with his cold stare then he only bowed slightly before he uttered "Thank you"

For this whole lifetime, Chen Li Xue had never ever heard such a short speech.

"That is the first young master, what do you think?", Zhao Yu Mi nudged her shoulder while giving her michiveous look.

"It doesn't matter what I think"

Zhao Yu Mu didn't say much, but she guessed someone would feel hurt if he heard.

"Follow me", Zhao Yu Mi instructed.

Chen Li Xue didn't have any choice except following her. There, she saw a pair of elders were chatting happily with another pair of husband and wife.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, auntie", Zhao Yu Mi politely addressed them.

"Is this the one that you are talking about?", Old Madam Ye asked.

"Yes, she is the youngest manager in our company", Zhao Yu Mi explained.

Chen Li Xue who was being stared at by pairs of eyes could only bow politely and smiled sweetly. 'Why does she introduce me to the Chairman? Did I do something wrong ?'

"No wonder", Old Master Ye then nodding his head.

If Zhao Yu Mi could guess why Ye Xiao suddenly decided to come back, then Old Master Ye who was his grandfather would think of it as well. Therefore, he had asked Zhao Yu Mi to introduce Chen Li Xue to them. While Master Ye and Madame Ye were Kevin's parents, they were also curious which young lady could attract their heartless son.

From a far, the certain heartless one saw the scene. Though he was talking to others, his eyes focused to the scene.

' The little sheep must feel scared to death. '
