Chapter 15 Show
"Ah~"
Xia Xue slept until she naturally woke up, yawning as she slowly went downstairs.
As Xia Xue walked around the corner, she suddenly remembered something and cautiously peeked down.
As expected, Xia Jun and Shen Weiyi were nowhere to be seen.
Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly…
"My mother is in the lab and hasn't come back yet. My father went to work early this morning."
Xia Yao's voice came from downstairs.
Xia Xue blinked, then smiled and walked downstairs.
"morning."
Xia Yao sat on the bar counter, her fingers constantly tapping on the keyboard. She glanced up at Xia Xue before looking away.
"Dad asked me to take you to a party for rich heiresses. There's a show today that starts at 10 a.m., and we'll leave at 9:30 a.m., so we have plenty of time."
Xia Xue blinked and looked up at her watch.
9:25.
"Five minutes!"
Only five minutes left.
Plenty of time my foot!
Xia Xue quickly ran upstairs, hurriedly put on some clothes, and then looked at her watch after running downstairs.
"Phew, just right."
It's exactly 9:30.
At this moment, Xia Yao leisurely strolled out of the kitchen carrying the packed breakfast, glanced at Xia Xue, and handed the lunchbox to Xia Xue.
"Eat on the way."
Xia Xue scratched her cheek.
I feel that Xia Yao is quite thoughtful.
No, am I being manipulated by PUA?
The car slowly drove away from Jingyuan.
"This is the information of the young lady attending the conference. Please familiarize yourself with it."
Xia Yao tossed a tablet to Xia Xue.
"If you don't understand anything, ask Shen Yan."
After saying that, he started typing on the keyboard again, getting engrossed in improving the AI.
The girl in the passenger seat turned around and greeted Xia Xue.
"Miss Xue, it's nice to meet you again. I'm Shen Yan, Mr. Xia's assistant. It's a pleasure to meet you."
This female assistant was present when Xia Yao confronted her last time.
deep impression.
"Does attending just one party require so much preparation?"
Xia Xue raised the tablet in her hand and complained.
She had a feeling that Xia Yao was messing with her.
Shen Yan replied with a light laugh:
"The purpose of a gathering is socializing, and the purpose of socializing is the exchange of benefits. Even a gathering of wealthy heiresses is no exception."
"But social interaction is emotional; good social interaction can bring benefits far exceeding expectations, while bad social interaction can bring unpredictable losses."
"It's completely unnecessary to break taboos and offend the wrong people over trivial matters, causing unnecessary losses."
Such situations should be avoided as much as possible.
"Therefore, recognizing people is a required course for the wealthy, and the CEOs and others start learning this at a very young age."
"Miss Xue, this is your first time attending a party, so you feel like you have a lot of work to do. Once you attend more parties and get to know everyone, you won't need to do this anymore."
Xia Xue clapped her hands gently.
"sharp."
It's just a matter of getting to know the person beforehand.
It's amazing that they can explain so many intricacies.
What a talent!
The car slowly came to a stop.
As soon as the two got out of the car, a disheveled girl rushed out of the crowd and yelled at Xia Yao, "Xia Yao, you bitch, you'll die a horrible death!"
Two bodyguards immediately rushed over and dragged the girl away.
Xia Xue glanced around discreetly and noticed that there were eight bodyguards protecting them.
"Um?"
Xia Xue suddenly turned her head and looked in a certain direction within the crowd.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Yao paused for a moment as she passed by Xia Xue.
"Were you scared?"
Xia Xue came to her senses.
"Uh, no."
Just now, there was a strong, tangible malice coming from that direction, but when she turned around to look, the person was gone.
"Stubborn to the end."
Xia Yao muttered something under her breath, then glanced at Xia Xue.
"Let's go in."
Shen Yan glanced at Xia Yao, took a half step back, and walked to Xia Xue's side, explaining as she went:
"The CEO comes from a good family, is good-looking, and has good grades. Many boys in school like him, and they all reject their suitors because of him. As a result, the CEO suffered a lot of trouble and misfortune in school, and even after entering the workforce, it didn't stop. Therefore, the CEO rarely attends parties."
Xia Xue belatedly exclaimed in surprise.
"So, Yao Yao attended this gathering because of me?"
Xia Yao paused for a moment, then turned her head and looked Xia Xue up and down.
"Narcissism."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Xia Xue anymore and walked into the venue without looking back.
Xia Xue looked embarrassed.
This time the sound was quite loud.
You can hear without blessing your ears.
Shen Yan quickly smoothed things over, saying, "The invitation was sent by a friend of the president. The president was originally going to decline the invitation because he was busy with work, but then he remembered Chairman Xia's suggestion that this gathering was perfect for you, so he accepted the invitation."
Tsk tsk, they managed to make that work out?
Xia Xue looked at Shen Yan and sighed inwardly.
Look at their professional skills.
No wonder they can make a living this way.
On the second floor of the shopping mall opposite the fashion show, a middle-aged man in a gray coat reappeared at the window, looking at Xia Xue, who had already disappeared from sight.
"Such keen perception. No wonder the price was so high. This deal was indeed difficult."
The man in gray pondered for a moment.
"In that case, a direct assassination is too difficult. It seems we'll have to resort to other methods."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the window.
The entire show venue was as big as a football field.
The wall directly opposite the main entrance is a huge screen, which is not yet running. It is playing a screensaver, a geometric shape that is constantly changing colors and shapes and is in a state of motion.
At the bottom center of the screen, a long, narrow runway extends to the very center of the show.
On three sides of the runway, there were rows of long tables filled with desserts, with a few sofas and matching coffee tables scattered among them.
The venue was large, but there were very few people.
All in all, there were fewer than a hundred people.
They gathered in small groups around long tables, chatting and occasionally letting out silvery laughter.
As soon as Xia Yao entered the venue, she became the focus of attention, with almost everyone's eyes fixed on her.
Their eyes were so intense and passionate, but they seemed to be holding back something, and neither of them took the first step.
At that moment, it was as if everyone had been put on pause.
until…
A girl in her early twenties, dressed in a pearl-white gown, wearing simple pearl earrings and crystal-clear high heels, with smooth, fair skin that seemed to have visible downy hairs under the light, exuded both intellect and charm. She stepped out from the crowd and slowly walked towards Xia Yao amidst the sound of her heels clicking on the floor.
With her movements, everyone seemed to come back to life.
Upon seeing the person approaching, Xia Yao smiled, reached for a glass of red wine from the tray beside her, and walked slowly toward the girl who shone like a pearl with graceful steps.
"she is?"
Xia Xue's eyes were filled with appreciation for beautiful things, and she asked softly.
"Ruan Ling, the daughter of the Ruan family, the organizer of this show, an outstanding fashion designer, and a model of a wealthy heiress in Jiangcheng."
"The Ruan family?"
Xia Xue was very uncomfortable with this way of introducing people, starting with "so-and-so's family".
Shen Yan said with great familiarity, "The Ruan family runs the largest garment factory in Jiangcheng. They not only do OEM manufacturing, but also run several brands themselves. The smallest of the subsidiaries behind each brand is worth over 100 million yuan."
At this point, Shen Yan noticed something, changed her tone, and chuckled to comfort her, "You've only just returned to the Xia family, it's normal that you don't know the Ruan family yet. You'll gradually learn more as you get to know them."
Xia Xue didn't care about this, but she thought to herself.
"This dazzling girl must be the female lead, right?"
Xia Yao walked up to Ruan Ling, performed a gentlemanly bow with his hand on his chest, and raised his glass in a toast:
"I'm really looking forward to this show, and I wish you great success in advance."
Ruan Ling casually picked up a glass of red wine from the tray beside her, her smile becoming even brighter. She playfully tilted her head, gently lifted the hem of her skirt with her left hand, squatted down slightly, and reached out with her right hand to lightly touch the wine glass.
"Thank you for your support, my princess."
Xia Xue watched the interaction between the two, her eyes flickering slightly.
Birds of a feather flock together.
The probability of Ruan Ling being the female lead is higher.
"Let me introduce you, this is my younger sister, Xia Xue."
Xia Xue stepped forward, her eyes sparkling like stars as she looked at Ruan Ling expectantly.
"younger sister?"
Ruan Ling was taken aback. When did Xia Yao have a younger sister?
Then Ruan Ling seemed to realize something and looked at Xia Yao with surprise.
Could it be the real heiress from the rumors?
However, Xia Yao's attitude towards this real heiress...
Ruan Ling smiled kindly and greeted Xia Xue.
"Nice to meet you."
After returning the greeting, Xia Xue waited for quite some time, but the system's voice did not sound.
Xia Xue felt utterly helpless.
Are you kidding me? Such an outstanding girl as Ruan Ling isn't the female lead.
