When the car drove into the capital, the sky was already dark. Chu Luo looked at the billboards and neon lights that lit up on both sides and suddenly remembered that Chen Xuan had told her before about shooting a cosmetics advertisement. She sent a message and asked.
Chu Luo: “Chen Xuan, have you chosen the models for the cosmetics advertisement?”
Chen Xuan: “No. This time, we plan to use Eastern faces to shoot advertisements. Many entertainment companies sent models’ photos, but I’ve been a little busy recently and haven’t had time to choose.”
Thinking that she had nothing to do tonight, Chu Luo said, “Send the photos over. I’ll choose.”
Chen Xuan: “Okay, I’ll send them to your email immediately.”
Then, the two of them talked about the headquarters moving back to the capital. Chen Xuan was very busy, so the two of them ended the conversation.
At this moment, the car happened to pass by the square in the capital city. Chu Luo tilted her head to look at the large display in the square and realized that it was an advertisement from Blazing Glory Corporation. She took a few more glances.
Just as the car drove past the square, Chu Luo suddenly saw Xiao Yue walking with a group of young men.
However, it had only been two days since they last met, and Xiao Yue seemed to have been reborn. She no longer had that same tacky aura and was wearing fashionable glittery clothes. She had also put on a fox fur shawl, looking extremely coquettish.
At this moment, she was holding the arm of a young man who was also wearing a fox-fur coat and had blond hair. He was wearing a dazzling golden necklace.
The young man’s hand was rather naughty, brazenly caressing her in public, but Xiao Yue had no intention of resisting. Instead, she deliberately hugged his arm tightly.
At the sight of this, Chu Luo took out her phone and took a few photos to send to Tang Zhiyun.
Tang Zhiyun replied quickly, “Thank you, Junior.”
Chu Luo: “Pay attention to this person. The person with her should be a gangster from the capital.”
Tang Zhiyun: “Okay.”
Chu Luo knew that Tang Zhiyun was very busy now, so she didn’t message him again.
Not long after the car drove out of the city center, they arrived outside the most famous commercial building in the capital, the Blazing Glory Corporation building.
The moment the car drove into the underground parking lot of the Blazing Glory Corporation, Secretary Tang happened to come out of the elevator.
He strode to Chu Luo’s car and opened the door for her. After Chu Luo came out, he said, “Miss Chu, the CEO will end the meeting in ten minutes. I wonder if you want to go to the restaurant for dinner or go straight to Master’s office?”
“To the restaurant.” Chu Luo thought for a while and said to him, “If you have something to do, go ahead. I can go myself. When the time comes, get Yan to come down and look for me.”
“Okay.” Secretary Tan was indeed very busy.
The two of them took the elevator to the restaurant floor and Chu Luo went out.
It was the peak meal time period. Seeing that there were many company employees in the restaurant, Chu Luo thought for a while, took out a mask, and put it on before walking in.
She deliberately found a semi-open cubicle where she could listen to gossip but not be easily noticed by others.
A few women were chatting in the cubicle beside her.
“I heard that the gaming department has been doing something big recently. I wonder what it is. I’m looking forward to it.”
“It’s possible that the gaming capsule that was announced to be developed a few years ago has been developed.”
“How is that possible? I don’t think modern information technology can enter the holographic era. I think it’ll take at least a few years.”
“That’s true. Previously, a few large countries’ official Internet and information departments had announced that they would develop a holographic game. Later on, there was no more news. Our Blazing Glory’s Internet Gaming Department is already a global leader in this area.”
“That’s not important. Have you heard that the CEO and Miss Chu are about to hold a wedding?”
“Really? Is this news reliable?”
“It’s reliable. The news from the Publicity Department has even been released. I heard that Blazing Glory will be announcing to the world the news of CEO and Miss Chu’s marriage in the next few days.”
“Then do you know when the CEO and Miss Chu will get married? As employees of Blazing Glory’s headquarters, will we have a chance to receive an invitation?”
Just as the women discussed this, a smartly-dressed beautiful woman walked past them.
When the smartly-dressed woman heard this, she stopped and said bluntly, “Stop dreaming. There are more than ten thousand high-level heads in the Blazing Glory Corporation. As mere employees, do you think you’re qualified to participate?”
A woman was indignant. “We work at the headquarters. The heads of many foreign subsidiaries might not be able to rush over.”
“Pfft… naive. Do you think those upper echelons won’t rush to make it for the CEO’s wedding? Compared to having such unrealistic dreams, you might as well think about whether you have the ability to get those upper echelons to invite you girls as their female companions to attend the CEO’s wedding.”
The smartly-dressed woman left after saying that.
“Tsk, from what Julie said, could it be that she has already found an upper echelon person who can bring her there?”
“Hmph, she relied on her beauty to go there. What’s there to be smug about?”
The women looked disdainful of Julie, but they couldn’t hide the jealousy in their voices.
Chu Luo listened for a while before taking out her phone and opening her email to receive the celebrity photos that Chen Xuan had sent.
She had just looked at two when the entire restaurant suddenly fell silent. Then, she heard steady and powerful footsteps.
Chu Luo didn’t need to look to know that Li Yan was here.
She stood up and waved at Li Yan. “Yan, here.”
When Chu Luo stood up, many people widened their eyes.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat as they kept trying to recall if they had said anything they shouldn’t have.
Moreover, they hadn’t even known that Miss Chu had come to the restaurant.
At the thought of this, everyone couldn’t help but shudder. They thought: ‘Could Miss Chu be here on purpose to see who would badmouth her?’
The restaurant fell silent.
Without even looking at anyone, Li Yan walked straight to where Chu Luo was and sat down.
Chu Luo had already ordered dinner. At this moment, the head chef personally sent them dinner and asked fearfully, “CEO, I wonder if you and Miss Chu still have any dishes you want to eat. We launched a few specialty dishes tonight. Miss Chu didn’t order them just now. Do you want me to prepare them immediately?”
Li Yan looked at Chu Luo. “Luoluo, do you want to eat it?”
Chu Luo had ordered enough, so she shook her head. “No need. These aren’t bad either.”
Li Yan merely responded with an “Mm”.
The head chef left.
As the two of them ate, the others in the restaurant immediately sped up and swiftly left after eating.
Chu Luo watched as those people fled and laughed.
She said, “Look at how scary you are at the company. Everyone quickened their pace when they saw you. The food that was supposed to take more than ten minutes to eat was finished in a few minutes.”
Li Yan scooped a bowl of soup for her and said nonchalantly, “As long as you’re not afraid of me.”
It didn’t matter to him if others were afraid of him.
Chu Luo scooped up some soup and took a sip. She said with a smile, “That’s good too. These people only gossip about one thing. I’m tired of listening to them.”
After saying that, she took another sip of the soup. Her eyes darted around and she deliberately asked him, “Guess what they’re gossiping about?”
“What?” Li Yan actually didn’t care what others gossiped about, but seeing how interested Chu Luo was, he played along.
“They’re gossiping about who we’ll invite to our wedding.” Actually, Chu Luo was a little curious. “I heard that the upper echelons of the Blazing Glory Corporation add up to more than ten thousand people. There are so many people. Are you going to invite all of them?”
“No. I’m only inviting the CEOs of each district.”
“How many people is that?”
“A few hundred.”
Chu Luo was relieved. “That’s fine. Our home can accommodate that many people.”
Looking at Chu Luo, who was worried about their wedding, Li Yan felt a trace of warmth in his heart. He deliberately approached her and said, “Other than them, many representatives from large international corporations will come. Blazing Glory also has business dealings with the upper echelons of many countries. When the time comes, those upper echelons of those countries will also send people over.
“In that case, there are a total of thousands of people.”
Chu Luo widened her eyes in surprise.
Seeing her expression, the corners of Li Yan’s lips curled up. He picked up a piece of her favorite food and fed it to her.
After Chu Luo subconsciously opened her mouth to eat, her eyes suddenly lit up. “Since there are so many people, you’ll definitely have to drink a lot of wine. I’ll help you drink when the time comes.”
“No. You have to be responsible for taking me away when I’m drunk.”
“I can take you away even if I drink.”
“No.”
Chu Luo looked at him with a straight face.
Li Yan tilted his head and kissed her quickly.
Startled, Chu Luo pushed him in dissatisfaction.
Li Yan chuckled in her ear and said, “If you want to drink, we can just drink in private. Your time on the wedding day should be all mine. Drinking alcohol will hold things up.”
Chu Luo blinked, unsure what he meant.
Li Yan lowered his voice even more. “What if you get carried away and don’t come back to consummate the marriage with me?”
Chu Luo’s face instantly turned red.
She pushed him in dissatisfaction. “Big baddie, don’t say such things outside. Eat your food quickly.”
“Yes, Madam..”
