Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Sleeping in Front of the CEO
Her surprise was too obvious, and Shangguan Yun Li smiled, "Remember now?"
Ye Xian nodded vigorously, so why was this scion of immense wealth and big shot in the entertainment industry taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with her at this banquet, when everyone else saw her and ran away?
Ye Xian: "Sorry, I had a bit of drink just now, and didn't recognize you for a moment."
"No worries, if I hadn't overheard your extended self-introduction, I wouldn't have recognized you either. You've changed a lot."
So... he had watched her whole awkward attempt to strike up conversations and get rejected?
Ye Xian let out an awkward chuckle to ease the embarrassment.
"How come you're suddenly interested in acting? I thought you were always interested only in Jiang Wanze?"
It seemed he knew quite a bit about her original self, or rather, her original self's infatuation with Jiang Wanze was already common knowledge.
"Doing the same thing forever gets tiresome; it's time for a change of taste."
"Oh?" Shangguan Yun Li's half-smile made it unclear whether he believed her or not, "With your current situation, it'll be hard to find resources."
"Yes, a reputation is like credit. Once it collapses, it's incredibly challenging to rebuild."
She said this seriously, and Shangguan Yun Li seemed a bit lost in thought.
This is getting interesting.
Is this still the Ye Xian known only for chasing after Jiang Wanze? They seemed almost like two different people.
"Don't be so downhearted; there might still be a way."
"Hmm?"
"Ask your President Bo. As long as he speaks in your favor, who would dare not to hire you?"
Just as Ye Xian's eyes began to brighten, they dimmed again.
That's right, except she had herself blocked this last avenue.
Now, she could only hope that President Bo didn't come after her for framing his beloved brother; how could she have the audacity to ask him for anything?
"What's the matter? You don't dare?"
"It's not that... I just don't deserve it."
Shangguan Yun Li raised his eyebrows, apparently not understanding her point.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our distinguished guests, and media friends, please take your seats. Our CEO's speech is about to begin..."
The announcement echoed through the Banquet Hall, and the crowd took their seats. Ye Xian also found a nearby spot and sat down.
Several middle-aged men waved at Shangguan Yun Li from a distance. He turned and glanced, "I'll go there first. By the way, next Wednesday, your President Bo will be playing golf by Nanjing Lake."
Ye Xian, "?" Why was he telling her this?
The lights in the banquet dimmed slightly, casting a bright focus on the stage, and Bo Tingshen walked slowly out from backstage. Everyone held their breath and watched him attentively.
Under the spotlight by the microphone, the man exuded an innate leadership presence, with even the cuffs of his suit gleaming resplendently.
The favored son of heaven...
Though she had seen him twice before, Ye Xian couldn't help but stare a few moments longer at his strikingly handsome face.
He was too handsome; how could such a perfect man exist in this world...
However, as soon as he started speaking, Ye Xian began to feel drowsy. She had always had a hard time listening to official speeches and once even fell asleep during an award ceremony, which had landed her on the hot search list as a topic of humorous discussion.
"Hello everyone, I am Bo Tingshen. First and foremost, I want to thank all my friends and family, and media friends for attending my grandfather's birthday..."
His voice was deep and mellow, with an enchanting magnetism, enchanting to hear... but Ye Xian soon nodded off, tilting her head into a deep slumber.
"Over the past two years, Bo Group, with the support and care from various sectors of society and all our employees..."
As Bo Tingshen spoke, Feather Jade Eyebrow slightly dropped, his gaze falling on the young man snoozing in the front row.
He paused for a moment, but none of the attentive guests noticed anything unusual.
