Chapter 766: Dinner Party ScandalThe smile on Xia Yanran’s face stiffened.

Fortunately, she had a rich experience in the workplace and did not lose her composure.

But, even if he knew CEO Yang, why did he come to the room?

Seeming to have seen the doubt on Xia Yanran’s face, CEO Yang explained, “Miss Xia, this is Mr Xiao, a major client of mine. I met him at the entrance and if you don’t mind, can you add another seat?”

Since CEO Yang had requested it, Xia Yanran would not refuse. “Of course.” Xia Yanran’s gaze landed on the man that was a few steps away from her.

Although she had seen him at the door of Elder Dong, it had not been as close as they were now.

Time really favored him, his facial features to the outlines of his face were still as handsome as ever.

There was an aura of a big boss between his eyes.

A smile appeared on Xia Yanran’s lips and she reached out her hand towards Xiao Yi. “Hello, Mr Xiao, nice to meet you. My name is Xia Yanran, the Deputy CEO of ET Newspaper.”

ET Newspaper was the company he had bought for her in Ning City.

Looking at the hand Xia Yanran had stretched out, the man lifted his hand lazily and shook it politely and indifferently, then quickly released it.

He was indifferent as though he had never known her.

A trace of mocking smile appeared at the corners of Xia Yanran’s lips. It was very faint and could not be seen if one did not look carefully. CEO Yang took Xiao Yi to the seat and when he passed Xia Yanran, she smelled the faint cologne on him.

The CEOs that came over at night all knew Xiao Yi.

Some knew him from when he was in Ning City.

But no one knew that Xia Yanran and Xiao Yi had been in a relationship before.

Xia Yanran was not a young girl anymore, she was able to hide the feelings in her heart and not show them on her face.

When they broke up, Xia Yanran heard Xiao Yi said that he came back to seek revenge from Second Master Qin.

She did not know how he was going to carry out his revenge, but she knew that wherever he was, he would be able to thrive.

Looking at the CEOs who were sucking up to him, it seemed like his status was not low in Hong Kong.

Some people were like that, no matter where they were, they would undoubtedly shine like stars. After Xiao Yi sat down, he took out a cigarette from his pants pocket and CEO Yang who was beside him quickly lit it for him.

His long legs were crossed elegantly, and was smoking with the cigarette between his fingers.

Xia Yanran tried her best not to pay attention to him. She talked with several CEOs and then raised her glass to give them a toast.

Her figure was beautiful and exquisite, and the professional attire outlined her delicate figure and with her long hair tied behind, her beautiful face was exposed. When she talked, there was a small smile on her lips making her look young and charming. Her makeup made her have the innocent look of a university student, and the confidence and beauty of a career woman.

In the eyes of the CEOs, she was a rare asset.

Xia Yanran could not drink a lot. She had improved a lot in the workplace, but the only thing she had not improved was her tolerance for alcohol.

After a few glasses, she let the manager do the toasting.

The atmosphere around the table was very warm.

Xia Yanran’s face was a little red after drinking and she let the waiter bring a glass of water over. She took a small sip.

In the back of her mind, she was still worried about Nan Zhi. She did not know if she was feeling better after taking the medicine, so she lowered her head and sent Nan Zhi a text message.

Suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder.

Xia Yanran looked up.

One of the CEOs, CEO Tan came to Xia Yanran with a glass of wine in his hand.

CEO Tan must have drank a lot, his face was very red and his fat body was a little unstable. “Miss Xia, why are you hiding here and texting? You’re sending a text to your boyfriend?”

Xia Yanran smiled. “No, it’s to a friend.”

“So Miss Xia has no boyfriend? Then I don’t have to worry about Miss Xia’s boyfriend getting jealous.” CEO Tan was drunk and he became more bold. CEO Tan in private was very bad. When he saw a beautiful woman, he would want to tease them.

Previously in Ning City, Xia Yanran had never personally interacted with CEO Tan before, it was normally the CEO who did it.

The CEO thought that there were several CEOs who came to Hong Kong this time so CEO Tan would not do anything to Xia Yanran, so he let her handle it. “Miss Xia, I’ve been working with your company for more than a year, and it’s the first time I’ve had dinner with the beautiful Deputy CEO. So I have to do cross-cup drinking with Miss Xia!”

Xia Yanran was not flustered. “CEO Tan, there’s other activities after dinner. You can do as much cross cup drinking as you want later.”

She was hinting that when they arrived at the KTV, there would be younger and prettier girls to accompany him.

CEO Tan looked at Xia Yanran’s beautiful face and appealing figure and he burped. “Deputy CEO Xia, how can other girls compare with you? Don’t tell me Miss Xia, you’re able to striptease like them?”

When the manager of the newspaper saw this, he hurried over and said cautiously, “CEO Tan, you drank too much. Take a seat and I’ll light you a cigarette?”

“Scram!” CEO Tan swung a fist at the manager.

Xia Yanran frowned and she gave the manager a look. The manager said nothing more and returned to his seat.

“Miss Xia, is it so difficult for you to drink a glass of wine?”

Xia Yanran gave a very faint smile. “Of course not.”

She took off her suit jacket and was wearing a fitting white shirt and fitting black skirt inside. The shirt was tucked into the skirt, outlining the curve of her body, especially her legs. They were long and slender.

CEO Yang, who was sitting beside Xiao Yi, saw that he was playing with his lighter listlessly and seemed to be uninterested in how CEO Tan was making things difficult for Xia Yanran.

In order to please Xiao Yi and draw their relationship closer, CEO Yang unleashed his gossipy side. “CEO Tan is famous for playing around with women. Miss Xia is so beautiful and has such a good figure, I don’t know if she will become CEO Tan’s meal.”

Xiao Yi lifted his eyebrows, but made no comment.

CEO Yang could not see what Xiao Yi was thinking. Although he did not agree with him, he also did not show disgust, so he continued, “Miss Xia is young and is already the Deputy CEO of ET Newspaper. I heard that she slept her way up. Look at her legs, although they’re long and slender, in my opinion, I think she has long since lost her virginity…”

…

Xia Yanran folded up her sleeves and asked her assistant to pour her red wine.

When CEO Tan saw this, he called the waiter over. “Pour Miss Xia the same white wine as mine.” With that, he inched closer to Xia Yanran, smiling. “Miss Xia, I’m drinking white wine and you’re drinking white wine too. Isn’t it fair like this?”

As soon as CEO Tan approached her, Xia Yanran could smell the scent of alcohol on him mixed with the smell of cigarette smoke and betel nuts. It was not a very pleasant smell at all.

“CEO Tan, white wine is too strong. I have a bad stomach and can’t drink white wine.” Xia Yanran picked up the glass of red wine but the next second, her wrist was grabbed by CEO Tan.

Xia Yanran broke free and did not look very good. She instructed her assistant and manager, “CEO Tan drank too much. Take him to the washroom and help him sober up!”
