Hello, Heir

The commotion barely caught the attention of anyone in such a large event venue. Zhuang Nainai left the group of people and entered the hotel lobby.

The event crew must have seen the lobby decorations a long time ago, but not Zhuang Nainai — the moment she stepped into the hotel, she was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of her surroundings.

Under the dazzling crystal chandeliers, everything was decorated to glamorous perfection.

The men were decked out in suits while the ladies were clad in jewelry. With them clinking glasses with each other, the air was filled with a respectable gaiety.

The whole atmosphere allowed every single person who stepped in to enjoy the night as an aristocrat.

Zhuang Nainai was in no mood for all of this. The moment she entered the banquet hall, the people around her wherever she went began to shoot her looks and whisper to each other.

“Is that her?”

“She’s the one who stole TZ’s design drafts?”

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

With the wild guessing and discussion making her feel suffocated, she decided to escape to the balcony with a glass of red wine.

As she hid in the darkness away from the eyes of the crowd, relief washed over her.

But just as she was admiring the night sky, she suddenly heard some unusual sounds.

Zhuang Nainai immediately felt embarrassed. She had known that there would be men without fail who were going to fool around with women, but she had not expected to encounter them.

Zhuang Nainai stood, ready to leave as inconspicuously as possible. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a male voice, pressed low. “How is it? Are you done?”

This sound… was somewhat familiar!

A female voice responded, “President Si, don’t worry! There won’t be any problem!”

President Si?

Si Guangsong!

Zhuang Nainai halted her footsteps. She stuck out her head, only to see Si Guangsong standing intimately with a female reporter. Other people might have thought that they were fooling around, but nobody would have thought that they were discussing confidential information!

The lady smiled. “The security levels were so high today I almost wasn’t able to get myself in… let me tell you, the reporters who managed to come in are people who will surely ask questions at the right time, and it’s only me that dares to play around like this. President Si, after this engagement, I’ll probably be unable to maintain my position in the reporting industry any longer. So, regarding the price…”

“Don’t worry, I won’t ill-treat you! Just remember the questions that you’re supposed to ask, and make sure that he can’t find a way to answer back! Si Zhengting, this illegitimate child… he dared to take over the Imperial Group and kick me out? I’m going to let him have a taste of shame today!”

“No problem, President Si!”

Both then further discussed the fees. Upon reaching an agreement, the female reporter straightened out her clothes and walked away, smiling.

Zhuang Nainai caught a glimpse of her face when she turned her head.

Staying in the shadows, Zhuang Nainai only heaved a sigh of relief after Si Guangsong left.

Zhuang Nainai warily emerged, then narrowed her eyes.

Si Guangsong was, indeed, going to mess up the 100th Year Anniversary Celebration; that was why Si Zhengting had made security so tight at the event and had only invited well-known reporters from large newspaper companies whom he knew would not ask sensitive questions like those regarding the design drafts issue. But this reporter… she had to be kicked out!

But she had no authority to kick the reporter out of the event. Starting to feel anxious, Zhuang Nainai searched for Ji Chen.
