Chapter 277: Chapter 194: Cursed with Peach Blossoms (Part 2)

Feng Feifei had a dignified air and never let her emotions show.

Xia Bin continued, "Yes, his personal life is a mess. He changes girlfriends like he changes clothes. And he’s not even ashamed of it—he’s proud!"

Feng Feifei didn’t know why, but hearing this filled her with rage. She wasn’t even sure who the rage was directed at.

In any case, she was very uncomfortable with Xia Bin saying such things.

Xu Wu felt the same way. However, unlike Feng Feifei, she had a domineering personality. Right now, she was looking at Xia Bin as if he were a dead man.

Just then, Liu Haoran and Zhao Hui came over to offer a toast. Xu Wu took a couple of steps forward and asked, "That guy from Four-something just now, do you know him?"

Zhao Hui said, "I do. From Four Seasons Clothing. I’m in the middle of cleaning up his brand right now!"

Only then did Xu Wu suddenly recall that there was such a matter. She immediately said, "Then speed it up. Drive him out of business!"

Liu Haoran suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Xia Bin. ’What did this guy ever do to deserve the special attention of several big bosses? He’s going to be obliterated, not even dust will remain!’

Feng Feifei let out a cold laugh and said, "President Xia, I’m just getting some information. I still have many friends over here, so please, have a seat."

"President Feng, why don’t we exchange contact information?"

"It’s not convenient." This was probably the most cutting thing Feng Feifei had ever said. She usually found it difficult to refuse when people asked to exchange contact information.

Xia Bin looked embarrassed and walked away dejectedly. He had noticed Liu Haoran and Zhao Hui talking with Xu Wu, which didn’t surprise him.

’After all, isn’t Zhao Hui from Junxiao Business Management?’

He had also sensed their hostility toward him, which also wasn’t surprising. Hadn’t both sides already laid their cards on the table long ago?

But as for Feng Feifei, he just couldn’t figure her out.

’A piece of calligraphy by one of my family’s elders, which I bought for 100,000 yuan at an auction, isn’t even good enough to trade for an entry ticket? And she’s too stingy to even give me her contact info?’

’Sigh, what a waste of money on that calligraphy!’

Feng Feifei beckoned to someone at her side. "Go ask who received that Xia Bin, and find out what the deal is with that calligraphy."

A moment later, the person in charge of receiving Xia Bin hurried over to explain.

Cases like Xia Bin’s—showing up to the annual meeting with a gift without being invited—did happen. At that time, Feng Feifei had been busy talking with the senior leaders.

Such a minor issue would certainly not have been reported to her. It was just a matter of adding another seat.

Feng Feifei didn’t intend to blame him. After listening to the explanation, she said, "That piece of calligraphy... hang it in the men’s restroom later."

Huh? This receptionist wasn’t a waiter; he was a mid-level manager from the company playing the part for the night. Even people like Yuan Kai were receiving guests today.

He really couldn’t understand President Feng’s line of thinking. Why hang the calligraphy in the men’s restroom?

Feng Feifei had no intention of explaining it to him, so he could only comply.

There were a few more prize drawings during the banquet, but instead of playing a game like the first time, the format was changed to a lottery-style number draw.

Unfortunately, neither Ma Jing nor Qiao Xin won anything, and they looked disappointed.

Chen Xiao found their girlish pouting rather amusing. He took two cards out of his bag and handed them to the pair.

"Don’t be sad. These are Diamond VIP cards for Ganglong International, issued to a very small number of distinguished guests. Cardholders get a 10% discount on the final price for any purchase at Ganglong International!"

AH~! Both women were ecstatic.

They might not go to Ganglong International to buy luxury goods, but they could buy their usual cosmetics and things there. This would save them a lot of money!

And that was just for personal use. If they were out shopping with friends, imagine how impressive it would be to whip out this card when a friend was about to pay!

Overcome with excitement, Qiao Xin leaned over and planted a kiss right on Chen Xiao’s cheek!

’Damn, so forward! I didn’t even have time to dodge!’

Ma Jing’s eyes went wide. "Qiao Xin, how could you?"

"How could I what? I was overcome with gratitude, so I thanked him. What’s wrong with letting him get a little something out of it?"

’Me, getting something out of it?’ Chen Xiao thought as he vigorously wiped his face with a wet wipe. ’Who’s taking advantage of whom here!’

Feeling a bit guilty, he glanced toward the front row. And what a coincidence—his eyes met Xu Wu’s, who was looking his way with a mischievous smile.

Chen Xiao looked down at his phone. Sure enough, there was a message from Xu Wu: "Having fun with a girl on each arm?"

He replied, "They’re just silly kids. Not my type."

"Oh? So what type are you interested in? A female president?"

"..."

Chen Xiao didn’t know how to respond. He couldn’t tell if she was referring to herself or Feng Feifei.

Xu Wu sent another message: "Have Xiao Qi drive for you tonight. You’ve been drinking."

Xiao Qi was one of Xu Wu’s bodyguards. Ever since seeing Zhang Shijie traveling with bodyguards, Chen Xiao had toyed with the idea himself. But he and Zhao Xiangjun usually lived a quiet, simple life, so there was no need.

But Xu Wu was often out and about, attending all sorts of events and managing such a large corporation. She really did need to be careful about security.

Xu Wu had two female bodyguards, one named Xiao Qi, the other Xiao Wu.

Both were mercenaries who had been tempered in the fires of war in Southeast Asia. They had truly seen bloodshed.

Many candidates had been found for Xu Wu, but she ultimately chose these two. So far, she seemed quite satisfied with them.

"That’s not a great idea. Your bodyguard driving for me? That’s too high-profile. Do you want me to ever live a normal life again?"

Tonight’s situation was already troublesome enough. If Xu Wu’s bodyguard drove him, he’d probably be the talk of Jiangzhou by tomorrow.

"It’s fine. She’ll go to your car ahead of time. When you leave, just say she’s a designated driver. No one will notice."

Chen Xiao thought about it for a moment and agreed.

There were too many people. The reception had taken ages when everyone was arriving, and now many of the VIPs had to be seen off personally.

Xu Wu was busy with work and left early, leaving Xiao Qi behind.

Chen Xiao, naturally, wasn’t going to wait until the end of the party either, only to be cornered by those old-timers. He wouldn’t be able to get away for at least half an hour.
