Because it was an important celebration banquet, Qi Yihan and Tang Li had to arrive early.
The Qi family’s banquet was held in a seven-star hotel. The banquet hall was magnificent with a huge garden outside.
When the two of them got out of the car, the outside of the hotel had already been surrounded by the hotel’s security guards and the Qi family’s bodyguards. Apart from the bodyguards and security guards, there was a
group of financial reporters who wanted to get a chance to ask Qi Yihan something.
Initially, everyone came with an aim to stop Qi Yihan and interview him because they normally wouldn’t get such a chance. When they saw him get out of the car, the reporters were excited.
They pressed on the shutter non-stop. Everyone waited for him to walk over before asking questions. Unexpectedly, after Qi Yihan got out of the car, he stood by the car door and waited. Then a pair of high heels were
seen coming out.
All the reporters’ held their breaths as they watched excitedly.
It should be noted that no matter what banquet President Qi attended, he never brought a female companion.
“Oh my god, I’m so excited. President Qi has a female companion. This is absolutely gonna hit the headline.”
“Who is it? I can’t wait to see!”
While the reporters were looking forward to it, the hotel manager and Secretary Si walked to the car.
Tang Li got out of the car at the same time.
Her face was blocked by Secretary Si and the hotel manager.
The reporters were so anxious that they wanted to rush over and push the two away.
“Aiya, I’m dying of anxiety. Why are they blocking our line of sight?”
“Get lost, you two!” One shouted
The hotel manager was equally shocked as the reporters to see Qi Yihan bringing a female companion. He first greeted Qi Yihan respectfully, “Fourth Master.”
Then, he looked at Tang Li. He was not sure if it was her, so he called her nervously, “Fourth Madam.”
Although this “Fourth Madam” wasn’t very loud, it was still heard by the reporters.
Instantly, everyone burst into an uproar.
“What?! That’s Fourth Madam! Fourth Master actually brought Fourth Madam here tonight!”
“Isn’t it rumored that Fourth Master and Fourth Madam are not on good terms? Could the rumors be false?”
“Maybe it’s because tonight’s banquet is too important. President Qi needs to bring a female companion. He doesn’t want to give other women a chance, so he can only bring Fourth Madam.”
When the hotel manager led Qi Yihan and Tang Li to the door, all the reporters pressed their buttons hard, afraid that they would miss something big.
There were also many reporters who asked Qi Yihan excitedly if he would answer questions.
Qi Yihan only shot them an extremely cold gaze, and the reporters knew that they had no chance.
Even so, after they entered the hotel, the reporters who took their pictures were still excited.
Everyone was busy editing the text and sending the photos back to their companies. They wanted to report this matter as soon as possible, because it would definitely hit the headline.
The news of the cooperation between the Qi Group and KL Group was a big deal to begin with, and many people were paying attention at this time.
When photos of Tang Li and Qi Yihan in the same frame were put online, ordinary people would comment, saying that they were handsome and compatible. However, the upper-class society would react differently
upon seeing the photos.
The women were all making sarcastic comments.
“Fourth Master probably just complied with his father’s request to take Tang Li along with him.”
“What right does she have tho? She’s just a slut who gives money to pretty boys. She doesn’t even deserve to stand next to Fourth Master.”
“All she has is that pretty face. I heard that everyone in the Tang family knows how to play one or two instruments except her.”
“If I can attend the banquet, I’ll definitely find a way to humiliate her.”
However, comments from the men were different.
“As expected of the prettiest beauty in Imperial Capital’s upper-class society. Just looking at the photo, I feel like my soul is about to be stolen by her.”
“Qi Yihan is indeed scheming. The CEO of KL Group is also very young and unmarried. Perhaps he brought Tang Li there on purpose.”
No matter what the outside world thought or said, Tang Li did not care.
After entering with the hotel manager, all the higher-ups of the Qi Corp had already arrived.
When everyone saw Tang Li walk in, they were also surprised for a moment. However, they quickly regained their composure and came to greet the two.
“President, Madam.”
Qi Yihan nodded at everyone and asked Secretary Si, “How is the preparation going?”
“Everything is ready.” Secretary Si pushed his glasses up his nose and told Qi Yihan the procedure for the banquet later. “After all the guests are here, you will start with a short speech and then dance with Madam…”
Since it was the Qi Corp’s celebration party tonight, the rest of the Qi family were also here. However, they all kept a distance from Tang Li.
To them, Tang Li was like a plague right now.
Qi Bailing, who was slapped by Tang Li today, glared at Tang Li. However, afraid that she would find out, Qi Bailing quickly looked away and mumbled, “I wish someone could embarrass her tonight.”
Qi Yunyao and Qi Yulu looked at each other. They also hated Tang Li too. She took away their precious antiques today, but they wanted Fourth Uncle to save their brother as soon as possible, so they didn’t respond to
Qi Bailing.
On the other hand, Qi Manli said, “A few reporters will definitely be allowed in tonight. If Fourth Auntie gets embarrassed, she will bring disgrace to the Qi family.’ ‘She did not want Tang Li to lose face on such an
occasion.
Qi Bailing crossed her arms and snorted. “Fourth Uncle will divorce her one day anyway.”
Qi Manli fell silent. She looked at the two people and felt that the way Fourth Uncle looked at Fourth Aunt was warmer than he looked at others. How could he possibly divorce her?
The Qi family and the higher-ups of the Qi Corp were responsible for receiving guests tonight, so no one was free.
At five o’clock, the guests arrived one after another.
The people who could attend the Qi family’s celebration banquet tonight were all the CEOs and madams of the upper-class circle in the Imperial Capital. Before the guests arrived, Qi Yihan took off his jacket and
draped it on Tang Li’s shoulder.
When people drew nearer, they were stunned to see Qi Yihan wearing only a shirt and Tang Li wearing his jacket.
Tang Li stood beside Qi Yihan and tried her best to put on a perfect smile. It was obvious that she outshined every female companion and made those women who dressed revealingly to attract Qi Yihan feel inferior.
There were many female companions, so Tang Li had to entertain them alone. When she saw Qi Yihan being surrounded by a group of businessmen, she said to the group of women, “Ladies, let’s go over and get seated.
Apparently our men are too busy talking about business to care about us.”
She wanted to take off her jacket and return it to Qi Yihan, because she was a little hot.
However, Qi Yihan grabbed her wrist and said unwaveringly, “Put it on.”.
