Descending from the BMW, the two beauties were none other than Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning.

After much thought, Xu Yixue had decided to attend the charity auction organized by Qin Haowen.

On one hand, Qin Haowen had said that as long as Xu Yixue made an appearance, he would put the Heart of the Ocean necklace up for auction and then donate the proceeds to the Hope Project. By coming, Xu Yixue would also be doing a good deed for the impoverished children in the mountainous regions.

On the other hand, Xu Yixue had learned through friends that most of the attendees at this charity soiree were the socialites and big business owners of Zhonghai City. Having just arrived in Zhonghai, and with Xinghai Media’s development not going smoothly, she wanted to seize the opportunity to network with some of the entertainment industry’s magnates to see if there might be chances for collaboration.

After all, with the former special forces Ye Xiaoning by her side, Xu Yixue felt certain she wouldn’t encounter any danger, so she took the invitation Qin Haowen sent to her company and headed to The Grand Qin Hotel.

On the second floor of The Grand Qin Hotel, there was an incredibly luxurious hall named Qingshi Mingyue, typically used to host banquets, cocktail parties, and various events for the social elite of Zhonghai City.

The entire hall was extravagantly decorated, complete with various vintage design elements. Upon entering the hall, one felt as though they had stepped into a palace from a historical drama, opulence and extravagance taken to the extreme, attracting countless wealthy elites of Zhonghai City.

At the front of the hall stood a stage, generally reserved for the host or a band; presently, it was adorned with four lifelike golden dragon statues, which made the entire hall look as grand as a palace.

At that moment, the hall buzzed with excitement. Dozens of exquisite mahogany tables held an assortment of beverages, fruits, cakes, and pastries.

Dozens of attendants dressed in Hanfu, akin to handmaidens, flitted about like butterflies, bearing thick bronze platters, and placed plate after plate of food upon the tables.

Beside the cold buffet were several rows of sumptuous sofas, upon which various men and women sat, clad in stunning suits and gowns, occasionally raising their glasses in toasts or conversing in hushed tones.

Qin Haowen stood at the center of the hall, surrounded by a group of young men dressed in expensive suits, each holding a glass of 1982 Lafite wine, chatting animatedly.

A man with shifty eyes asked Qin Haowen, “Qin, do you think that Xu Yixue will come today?”

Qin Haowen glanced around the room and, after sipping his wine, said with a hint of complacent expectation, “If Xu Yixue doesn’t come, she’s not just snubbing the face of Qin Corporation, but also the entire entertainment circle of Zhonghai. She wouldn’t dare not to show up.”

In reality, Qin Haowen wasn’t at all certain whether Xu Yixue would show up today. However, he had just received a report from the doorman, informing him that Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning had entered The Grand Qin Hotel, which is why he now sounded so confident speaking to the group.

“Qin, you’re certainly charismatic. We knew she wouldn’t be able to escape from your grasp,” the sleazy young man flattered Qin Haowen vigorously.

“There isn’t a woman I, Qin, haven’t conquered. Xu Yixue is only acting arrogantly in front of me to save face, playing a game of cat and mouse, to pique my interest so I won’t tire of her so quickly,” Qin boasted with a slight smile, radiating confidence.

“Haha, Qin has quite the way with women. No matter what psychological games Xu Yixue plays, she can’t outmatch Qin’s sheer force. When Qin makes a move, it’s a sure catch,” the servile man followed up with another compliment.

“Haha, not bad,” Qin mused, already imagining Xu Yixue’s snow-white body under him, his smile turning lascivious as he downed the rest of his wine.

At that moment, at the entrance of the hall, Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning slowly entered the Qingshi Mingyue hall.

As soon as they stepped in, the noise in the hall abruptly died down.

All eyes turned toward Xu Yixue.

Under the bright lights of the hall, Xu Yixue’s fair skin seemed even more snow-white. Her wine-red evening gown did little to hide her impressive figure and long legs. Her face and features were flawless like an angel’s, her neck long and graceful like a swan’s, and she held an undisturbed, serene expression.

With just her entrance, Xu Yixue captured the undivided attention of everyone in the hall, bringing a hush over both men and women alike.

Ye Xiaoning, in her blue gown and sporting a fresh short hairstyle, may have been slightly less striking than Xu Yixue, but was still absolutely beautiful, drawing plenty of gazes as well.

Under the weight of so many eyes, Xu Yixue showed no discomfort, walking calmly toward the center of the hall.

Though Ye Xiaoning was mentally strong, she still seemed slightly ill-at-ease compared to Xu Yixue, not quite adapted to the overwhelming adoration and spotlight.

“Damn, could this be the legendary new CEO of Xinghai Media, a beauty in her own right? Truly an unparalleled stunner!”

“Damn, even if you scoured the entire entertainment industry, you’d be hard-pressed to find two stars that could match her beauty. It’s such a waste that she’s not a star.”

“Damn, Xu Yixue, you’re the goddess of my dreams. I’ll ask my dad today—no matter the cost, we have to acquire Xinghai Media!”

“You’re delusional. Xinghai Media is a subsidiary of Xu Corporation. Your company isn’t even fit to shine Xu Corporation’s shoes, much less acquire Xinghai Media. What could you possibly acquire?”

Unperturbed by the murmuring around her, Xu Yixue, in her high heels, confidently approached Qin Haowen.

“Yixue, I’m so glad you could come today. It wasn’t for nothing that I put so much effort into preparing for your arrival,” Qin Haowen greeted Xu Yixue with a cheesy grin.
