Chapter 54 Shield
“Tonight, I thank all of you for taking the time to attend this banquet. And now, I will announce the list of the raw materials for tomorrow. All the raw materials this time are imported and extracted from Myanmar. All of it totals up to around one hundred and fifty million. The raw materials of larger sizes take up to one over three of all the raw materials, and amongst that, the high density materials takes up to around three over five of the total raw materials.”
On the stage, Wang Yu Tang’s speech had reached its end. The main event for tonight was to announce the main list of the raw materials and all of it had the people excited.
Myanmar is the place where jades are formed and the qualities are always top notch. But due to their markets being cut off, the raw stones that are extracted officially from Myanmar would hold their own auction. It is rare for them to openly sell their stones out.
Song Ye who was under the stage stood there unimpressed, but within her heart, she had thought about the capability of Wang Yu Tang. When she turned her head to the side, she noticed that the man beside her was noticing the event. She felt slightly surprised, Qin Zhan is interested in jades?
This one glance was noticed by Qin Zhan. He then lowered his eyes to look at the girl beside him. No expression can be seen from his deep and calm eyes, but with a low voice:
“Your eyes are way too expressive. If you want to hide your intentions, it would be better for you to conceal it.”
His tone sounds as if he was lecturing the soldiers working under him.
Song Ye was not sure if it was out of reflection. Every time he opened his mouth, she would always find her scalp getting numb. Since she was caught, she then smiled as if she did not mind about it,
“It’s just you who are way too observant.”
Although the eyes of a fifteen year old child is clear and can be caught easily, Song Ye is an assassin, so how would she not know to conceal them. It’s just that the man beside her was too sharp, or maybe because he has yet to let his guard down around her…… Thinking up to this point, she felt like heaving a sigh for the first time after she was reborn, feeling that she will not have any freedom tonight.
On the other hand, after Qin Zhan walked out of the lounge, he kept on following Song Ye around. Although his face was stiff, but under careful observation, it can be seen that the cold air around him had slightly dispersed, showing his good mood.
Normally, a dance session is always there in banquets. Usually speaking, after Wang Yu Tang’s speech, music should be playing. But at this time, Wang Yu Tang still stood on top of the stage waiting. With a smiling and flushed face, he continued speaking,
“There are a lot of guests tonight. In these years, the trading of raw stones are doable due to the backing of the government. Tonight, I was able to invite an honorable guest over. Please applause and welcome our Shi City Mayor, Mayor Xu, Xu Fang Sheng.”
When his voice dropped, everyone was not able to react, the entrance door was opened once again. The middle aged mayor had a grey suit on him. Exclamations can be heard from the venue and thunderous clapping can be heard soon after.
It was out of everyone’s expectation for the Mayor to be able to aprticipate in this banquet. All the experienced businessmen with anticipation took out their name card and waited for a chance to approach him.
At this moment, Song Ye was surprised, but it was not due to the arrival of Xu Fang Sheng. Her gaze went past all the people and fell onto the young boy behind Xu Fang Sheng. The white suit had covered his delinquent aura and the cool and young face had made him appeared to be collected. Isn’t this the young boy that had followed her to Shi City, Xu Zi Hang.
Song Ye can’t help but to raise her hand to rub her temple. Although she had guessed that Xu Zi Hang was of prestigious background, she had never thought that his family would be involved with politics. Whatsoever, he’s even the son of a mayor.
Thinking about how one of the high executives of her Night Gang is the son of a mayor, Song Ye’s brain began to crack.
No one can really blame how she had let her expectation ran off. How will any normal people relate a student from a remote school to be the son of the boss of a city.
At this moment, Xu Fang Sheng stood on the stage and chatted with other people. He had also introduced his son to them as well.
Xu Zi Hang on the other hand was very quiet. After coolly saying a few words, he then stepped behind Xu Fang Sheng and continued to search for Song Ye’s shadow within the venue. But after searching for a long time, he was only able to find Zhao Zhen.
“Alright, we should stop our chatter here. I hope that everyone will enjoy their time here.”
Wang Yu Tang helped to put an end to their chattering and signaled the band at the side to play music. The dancing session for tonight then began.
After walking down the stage, Xu Zi Hang directly rushed over to Zhao Zhen’s side and explained his situation in a vague way. After that, he directly asked:
“Uncle Zhao, I did not see Song Ye, did she not attend?”
“Mmn…… She attended.”
Zhao Zhen hesitated and then sneaked a glance towards the opposite of the dance floor.
Xu Zi Hang followed his gaze and became dumbfounded. After that, he then repeatedly confirmed with Zhao Zhen once again,
“Uncle Zhao, are you saying that, that person is Song Ye?”
“Ahem, yes. But right now, it is not convenient for her to head our side now.”
Zhao Zhen coughed drily and felt awkward. It is especially so since he had imagined Xu Zi Hang as Song Ye’s love interest in her young age. And now that another man stood beside Song Ye, it had made him felt even more lost as to how he should explain it.
Xu Zi Hang did not notice his difficulties. He was so shocked by the appearance of the girl that his soul was coming out of his body. He had thought that according to Song Ye’s style, she would wear a smart suit to attend, or at most, it would be formal dress. So, he had never expected that she would dressed up to be so…… alluring.
That’s right, even though her body was slender and her body had yet to grow properly, that black dress on her had concealed her tender age and made her actions seemed alluring. Xu Zi Hang blankly walked towards her.
On that end, Song Ye and Qin Zhan became ice sculptures once again. Even though the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, the both of them had just stood there like pillars. Each of them had a wine glass in their hands and no interaction happened even though they were one fist away from one another.
After Qin Zhan rejected the fifth young lady’s invitation to have a dance, the eyes rolled towards her had become innumerable.
Even an idiot can understand. This Qin Zhan is using whatever he picked up and had her block all of the one interested in him away. She did not mind when Xu Zi Hang used her to deal with Tang Mei Ling is because she views him as her brother. But this Qin Zhan was suspicious of her and caught her the moment they met, so on what basis should she be his shield.
In the end, that man said a sentence unfitting of his appearance,
“Without my permission, you will not be able to take the things that you captured out of here.”
When he said that, his face was still frigid and stiff as usual. Only Song Ye knew, this man who seemed to be upright is in fact a man with a narrow heart.
And so, the two ice sculptures remain the current situation and did not talk to one another. Song Ye had directly thought herself to be a painting hanging on the wall, making the deathly glares by the young ladies to not hurt at all.
Until, the soothing voice of a man sounded,
“May I ask if this beautiful lady would like to grace me with a dance?”
Song Ye turned her head back and saw Qu Bai with his hand stretched out and inviting her in a very gentlemanly manner.
If not for the perfume stuck on him and the playful expression he had when he looked towards Qin Zhan, Song Ye would really have the thought that her disguise was once again exposed to the others.
