Chapter 367 - 360: Whose Scheme? (Part 7)
When Chen Bei realized that the deal had likely already been discovered by the police and that they had set up surveillance in advance, he felt a chill of fear. If the boss hadn’t noticed anything unusual at the time and they had gone ahead, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Boss, what should we do now? Should we stop the transaction?" Chen Bei asked.
Wu Chengzu closed his eyes again, assuming a leisurely demeanor, "The deal continues."
"But we’ve already been noticed..."
"Someone set a trap for me." Wu Chengzu opened his eyes, full of amusement, "I want to see whose trap this is!"
The Huamei International banquet scene.
Qi Hui exuded elegance in her every move. Standing in that position, she could see respect, flattery, envy, and admiration in the eyes of everyone who passed by. All expressions befitting that position were now directed at her.
She believed that good things come to those who wait, and even more, that hard work would always lead to success. She enriched herself through her career, becoming a woman who could stand by Leng Yichen’s side. Moreover, she could feel it. Leng Liewei still liked her a lot; otherwise, he wouldn’t have directly placed her beside Leng Yichen to accompany him in welcoming the distinguished guests attending the banquet. These guests included long-time business partners of Huamei International, high-level government officials, foreign dignitaries, etc.
Qi Hui slightly raised her head, looking at the handsome man standing beside her. He was simply a work of art bestowed by the heavens.
But there was never her in this man’s eyes. Even though she was standing right here, he didn’t cast a sideways glance at her.
Just as Qi Hui was watching Leng Yichen, a French couple walked in. They had been close partners with Huamei International in the French region in recent years. The couple had come here for tourism and took the opportunity to attend the banquet as honored guests.
However, Qi Hui overlooked one detail; she hadn’t arranged for a French interpreter. This couple was particularly proud and respectful of their native language. So, they wouldn’t speak any language other than French.
The initially delightful scene instantly turned awkward. Qi Hui struggled to communicate with the couple in English, but the attempt not only failed but incurred their displeasure.
Although she couldn’t understand what they were saying, Leng Liewei’s face was gradually darkening.
Qi Hui was becoming increasingly anxious. Everything had been perfect, and she had shown her best side in front of Leng Liewei. Now, she was stumbling over French. She hurriedly called her assistant Amy to arrange for a French interpreter and check if anyone in the company spoke French.
The French couple stood awkwardly at the entrance. Qi Hui wanted to invite them in, but they insisted on standing at the door, believing that Qi Hui’s actions just now were disrespectful to them!
Seeing Leng Liewei’s expression growing uglier by the moment, Qi Hui cast a pleading look at Leng Yichen, only to find that he was gazing at the door with a face full of astonishment and enchantment.
When she turned to look, Bai Yiran, shimmering with diamond light, appeared there elegantly.
Qi Hui’s face instantly changed. That woman still came... She had originally thought that after she had painted such a bad picture of her to Leng Liewei, Bai Yiran wouldn’t attend the banquet to avoid any suspicion. And when Leng Liewei placed her by Leng Yichen’s side, she truly believed Bai Yiran wouldn’t come back.
Yet, she still came. Not only did she come, but she also successfully captured everyone’s attention!
