Grabbing her skirt nervously, a thought pummeled her; Platinum Empire is well recognized for producing thee best Basic Raw Materials, and at that; it mandates detailed budgeting and an outstanding framework for accounting on the balance sheet and revenue statement. Great, thank goodness I studied accounting! Chan Juan exclaimed innerly.
Chan Juan smiled before speaking,
"Well, working in the Account department was no easy feat but yes; dealing with suppliers and responsible for a wide range of finance-related tasks either for individual clients or for larger businesses and associates that are willing to work with us was definitely a great moment to remember and it's my utmost honor, hehe."
Chan Juan explained and laughed nervously, she definitely didn't end that well.
She glanced at Shao Jinhai, he wasn't even showing any expression.
"Interesting, sister in-law is so hardworking and beautiful." Li Mengyao praised, starting at Chan Juan with glimmering eyes. Ming Yue sneered and looked away while sipping on her wine, Eu Meh rested on the arm chair with pleasurable smirk on her face.
"That's incredible" Master Shao remarked.
Ming Yue rolled her eyes, dropping the champagne glass on the table; and unexpectedly shared eye contact with Chan Juan.
"Interesting..." She began, Chan Juan gulped loudly, she knew Ming Yue had no chill towards her. Eu Meh narrowed her eyes,
"Don't mind me dear, I wouldn't want to trouble the beautiful bride with my prying, I also heard you like to party a lot and mostly at clubs. I'm sure your business associates are so dignified enough?" Ming Yue emphasised on the last sentence and gave Chan Juan a slight sneer.
"Tch! Sarcasm." Dai Meng said beneath her breathe. Guo Qiang lowered his head, this wouldn't end well, certainly.
Eu Meh looked like an animal who would devour it's prey in no second, Ming Yue have finally crossed the boundary. Well, she was technically referring to the real Guo Daiyu indirectly, but Eu Meh, known for her gentle style wouldn't want to disgrace herself at the table, by creating a controversy over such issue with a mere lady; so she had thought.
Chan Juan had a stern look on, she wouldn't be brought down by a woman like her, she has got some guts too.
Guo Qiang was about to speak, but Chan Juan cut him off.
"Miss Ming Yue..." Chan Juan began with so much emphasise, Ming Yue eyes darkened,
"I really appreciate your sense of humour. My associates are definitely dignified and not boring people, at least we will have to celebrate our alliances at some point, but certainly not in a club. Like you said, they are very dignified people with higher sense of maturity." Chan Juan smiled naturally like it was all a child's play.
Guo Qiang arched a brow, he never expected her to take it humorously rather than causing the already expected dispute.
"Ming Yue is no difference from the number 250 right now" Dai Meng mumbled and snickered silently.
Ming Yue scoffed and tore her eyes away from Chan Juan. Shao Jinhai had a different expression, the atmosphere became cold afterwards. After the spicy-talk season between the two ladies, it will definitely not be a generous atmosphere.
Li Mengyao stood up, raising his wine glass up, and his left hand on his chest.
"Cough cough... It's been a wonderful dinner, indeed. I will like to propose a toast to the new couples!" Li Mengyao pronounced with a broad grin on his face. Shao Jinahi excused himself after the toast, Li Mengyao watched him as he walked into the building.
"What's with Big Cousin Brother today? He didn't even say anything, nothing at all."
"Of course, his bride and his childhood crush were both in a steaming mouth battle just now, what do you expect?" Dai Meng crossed her hand over Li Mengyao's shoulder while she munched on the tasty Guotie.
Li Mengyao sighed, this will surely get harder as time goes by, he worried.
"Why are you sighing? Not like it's going to get any worse."
Dai Meng waved her hands.
You certainly don't know anything, nothing at all, Li Mengyao said innerly.
Ming Yue angrily stood up and left the table,
"And there she goes..." Dai Meng and Li Mengyao stared at the furious Ming Yue until her silhouette vanished into the light.
