Seeing her abnormal expression, Zhou Mian said amusedly: "It's not your first time meeting them, why do you feel a little nervous?"

Shi Yue smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

The carpeted corridor is very quiet. Occasionally, a waiter will pass by carrying red wine without making any sound.

In the lounge, Mrs. Zhou was sitting next to her husband. The two of them were talking without knowing what they were talking about. They were so focused that they didn't even notice they came in.

Zhou Mian deliberately made some noises to attract their attention.

Zhou Baisong raised his head when he heard the sound. When he saw Shi Yue standing next to him, his brows furrowed slightly: "Are you here?"

Shi Yue nodded: "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou."

Mrs. Zhou had a bright smile on her face and her enthusiastic look was back to the one she had when they first met. She stood up and took Shi Yue's arm: "Don't be so polite, Shi Yue. Come and play here and feel comfortable."

Seeing this, Shi Yue had no choice but to comply.

Mrs. Zhou pulled her to the small round table by the window and chatted with her excitedly: "Didn't your company say it was going to release a new style of cheongsam? Why hasn't there been any news yet?"

Shi Yue hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to prevaricate it casually: "There is something wrong with the design of the new model, and it is already being redeveloped."

There was a mellow aroma of wine floating in the lounge, and the afterglow spilled in through the glass windows. It was quiet and beautiful.

Zhou Baisong glanced at Shi Yue again, then looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "How are you feeling today?"

Hearing the voice over there, Shi Yue couldn't help but look over. She happened to meet Zhou Mian's smiling gaze, and she quickly looked away.

"I feel pretty good lately, don't worry about me."

Zhou Mian deliberately lowered his voice, but Shi Yue could still hear it clearly.

Thinking of Zhou Mian's recent mental state, she couldn't help but think more about it. Listening to their whispers, she always felt that something was being hidden from her.

The guests came one after another, and Zhou Mian naturally couldn't escape and had to accompany his parents to entertain the guests.

He originally suggested that Shi Yue go there with him, but she politely declined. If such an occasion appeared around the Zhou family, wouldn't it be a mouthful?

Because it was a banquet, today's banquet was filled with fine wines collected by the Zhou family. They were mellow and sweet, and Shi Yue couldn't stand it just by smelling them. She regretted coming to this so-called banquet.

She was standing in the corner, eating at the dessert bar, while thinking about the acquaintances who would come here today.

Just as he was thinking about it, several people walked in at the door of the banquet hall. Shi Yue looked up and his pupils suddenly shrank.

I only saw Meng Meng, who was wearing a gorgeous dress and was extremely beautiful. She had a bright smile on her face, and her fair and delicate arms were hanging on the crook of a man's arms.

And that man is none other than Shen Zexi.

Why did she get together with Shen Zexi?

Thinking of the past, Meng Meng told herself that Shen Zexi had been looking for her, so they had already planned it? It turns out that there were signs at that time.

Just when Shi Yue wanted to question her, the other party had already noticed it and looked towards her, as if provocative, with a deeper smile on his lips.

Some guests saw Shen Zexi accompanied by a strange female companion. They had never seen such a person in Kyoto. They all looked at him curiously, and some asked.

Shen Zexi smiled and introduced to the people around him: "This is Miss Meng Meng, the new chairman of the Wen Group."

Someone heard this and looked different. Isn't this Mr. Wen the same Mr. Shi from before? There was a lot of commotion on the Internet, but the chairman is not Shi Yue? How come he has become a stranger?

Someone looked curiously at Shi Yue again.

Shen Zexi followed the gaze of those people and found that Shi Yue was here. She deliberately showed a surprised look and walked over half-hugging Meng Meng.

"Miss Shi, it's been a long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Shi Yue's eyes were cold, looking at the person in front of him with hidden hatred: "Thank you very much, Boss Shen, for your concern. I'm very fine."

Shen Zexi deliberately sounded surprised: "Really? I thought you would be devastated after losing the Wen family."

Meng Meng corrected him in time: "Mr. Shen, you are wrong. Shi Yue is not lost. After all, she single-handedly led the company out of the predicament. As long as she is willing to come back, I welcome her at any time."

After saying that, she smiled gently at Shi Yue: "Shi Yue, you have been on vacation for so many days, it's time to come back and help me."

How could she... say such things shamelessly.

Shi Yue's face turned pale with anger. She tried to calm herself down and said coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, but the company's current name is Wen and it has nothing to do with you."

Seeing that the two of them were facing each other, their tone of voice was so cold that they almost started to quarrel. Shen Zexi pretended to be a good old man: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. I have always admired Miss Shi's design talent. Our Shen family launched We sincerely invite you to participate in the cheongsam competition. I wonder if we have the honor to see your Wen family's cheongsam craftsmanship."

Shi Yue gritted her teeth, unable to maintain her composure in the face of such a sinister and cunning person. She glared at Shen Zexi: "It still can't be done. I'm really afraid that the design drawings will be stolen again."

This overtone is so obvious that anyone around can hear it with their ears open to watch the excitement.

Everyone quickly thought of the gorgeous cheongsam Shi Yue wore at the Shen family's last celebration banquet. It was so stunning that it is difficult to forget it now.

Could it be that the Shen family really copied hers?

Shen Zexi was not angry, and still smiled kindly: "If you don't come, it will definitely be our loss in this competition."

Meng Meng couldn't help but feel regretful: "You really missed a good opportunity."

Seeing them leaving hand in hand, Shi Yuexian almost couldn't stand still. Shen Zexi can now control Wen's family. What will he do next? Continue to take away Wen's design drafts, or has another plan to annex Wen's family? Family?

All of them made Shi Yue feel deeply frightened.

Zhou Mian probably heard something, so he couldn't care less about the guests outside and couldn't wait to find Shi Yue.

Among the crowd, Shen Zexi and Meng Meng were two-eyed beings. Standing together, Zhou Mian quickly understood what was going on.

He looked at Shi Yue worriedly: "It's okay. Maybe Meng Meng is just impulsive. Cooperating with Shen Zexi is undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger. She won't be so stupid."

"But the facts are already in front of us, aren't they?" Shi Yue's lips turned a little white. She was helpless and annoyed. How could she have reached this stage?

How much did it cost her to change her company to Wen, and now she has to watch it become Shen Zexi's pocket?

Shi Yue couldn't forgive herself.

The two people there were chatting and laughing happily. Although Meng Meng was participating in the banquet for the first time, he was getting along like a fish in water, and he was not at all inferior to others in chatting with others.
