Ye Shu pushed open the hotel door and started looking for the banquet hall.This was her first time attending such a cocktail party and she had no idea what she should do.
Callie had chosen for her a purple, diamond-encrusted wrap dress. She was not tall, and her skirt draped to the ground, covering her 7cm heels. The dress clung tightly to her body and swayed beautifully with every step Ye Shu took. The shawl that covered her bare back made the skin of her back more visible as she moved.
Passing through the hotel lobby, Ye Shu successfully attracted a lot of attention.
However, she couldn't care less about those gazes. Her priority was to find CEO Xing!
Secretary Chen said that President Xing was already waiting for her in the banquet hall but did not tell her the location.
Finally, with the help of the hotel staff, Ye Shu walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
"Miss, are you here for the bidding too?" a man asked Ye Shu.
Ye Shu turned around and saw a man he had never seen before.
She shook her head slightly and did not answer him.
The other party wasn't discouraged and continued asking, "Are you alone? Do you need help?"
Just then, a woman walked over. "Director Lai, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
As the woman spoke, she turned her body and pushed Ye Shu aside. Before Ye Shu could react, the woman had already pulled Director Lai into the banquet hall.
Ye Shu stood at the door, took a deep breath and walked in.After entering the banquet hall, they would have to pass through a long corridor to enter the main hall.
Ye Shu fumbled her way in, searching for CEO Xing.
"Miss, are you looking for someone? Do you need help?" Another man walked to Ye Shu.
Ye Shu asked, "Yes, I want to look for CEO Xing."
"Ah! CEO Xing! He's inside. I'll bring you in!" The man's eyes lit up as he smiled at Ye Shu.
Ye Shu nodded and thanked him. She followed the man and was about to walk in.
The man gazed at Ye Shu and asked with a smile, "Miss, is this your first time attending such a cocktail party?"
Ye Shu raised her head and looked at the man quizzically. The man smiled and reached out to grab Ye Shu's hand before stuffing it into his arm.
Ye Shu was shocked and struggled to pull her hand back.
The man lowered his voice and whispered into Ye Shu's ear, "It's very rude for a lady to walk in alone. Trust me!"
She did not know if she was bewitched by the man's voice but she instantly believed the man's words. She did not resist the man anymore and allowed him to drag her inside.
Ye Shu could feel the stares of many people around her.
There were even a few women standing at the side whispering to one another. Their gazes could bore a hole in Ye Shu's body.
Ye Shu lowered her head in discomfort.
When they reached the main hall, a man walked towards Ye Shu and her partner. He first glanced at Ye Shu before whispering to the man beside her. The latter first revealed a surprised expression before saying apologetically to Ye Shu, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do and need to leave first."
"Please go ahead! Sorry for troubling you just now!" Ye Shu politely nodded at the other party.
The man didn't say anything else and left quickly.
Ye Shu stood at the main venue again, searching for CEO Xing's figure in a daze.
The main venue was divided into two levels.
She had just walked into the venue from the upper level, and the venue below had a special passageway that seemed to be open only for special people.
The two floors of the venue were connected by a spiral staircase made of glass, and the handrail of the staircase was decorated with lights.
Ye Shu quickly walked towards the stairs, wanting to find CEO Xing quickly.
At that moment, a woman walked over. "Hey! Do you know President Wei?"
Ye Shu looked at the other party. After ascertaining that she did not know her, she decided to ignore her.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Seeing that Ye Shu actually ignored her, the woman was instantly furious.
Ye Shu stood by the stairs and looked at the woman. "Do I know you?"
The woman was stunned for a moment before saying, "Who are you to speak to me like that?"
Ye Shu felt her head swelling.
She was already not used to such a noisy environment, and now, she was even more disgusted by the woman in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I'm looking for someone!" Ye Shu said as she walked past the woman and headed downstairs.
The woman wanted to stop Ye Shu, who responded by walking around her and heading downstairs.
