The bodyguards outside had seen Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng before. Hence, they did not stop them from entering and nodded their heads before opening the door for the two of them to enter.
Waiting for Lin Ruoxi to enter the door, Yang Chen hesitated for a while, then took out the crumpled pack of cigarettes that he usually smoked from his shirt pocket. Looking at his inventory, he happily took out the only two cigarettes he had, and handed them to the two bodyguards, one in each hand.
"Brothers, you've worked hard. Guarding the door isn't an easy job. Have a cigarette and relax." Yang Cheng smiled as he spoke in Korean.
It wasn't that the two bodyguards had never seen others handing cigarettes over, but this was the first time they had seen someone handing them such inferior quality cigarettes. However, they couldn't reject it out of courtesy. Hence, they could only put on a bitter expression as they accepted the two cigarettes and forced a smile as they thanked Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi was still wondering what Yang Cheng was doing by the door. When she turned around and saw this scene, she instantly had the urge to shove this thick-skinned fellow into a hole!
"What are you doing?!" Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but glare at Yang Chen with a frosty expression.
"Ah?" Yang Cheng innocently exclaimed before he explained, "Didn't you say that you wanted to build a good relationship with Yoo Yeonhee? I wanted to start from the basics and build a good relationship with her bodyguards. That's why I gave her two cigarettes. If I knew this would happen, I would have bought two more packs. I wouldn't be able to smoke anymore after giving them two. "
Looking at Yang Cheng's depressed expression, Lin Ruoxi had no idea how to communicate with this' alien '. She could only take a deep breath to calm herself down before turning around and walking in.
Yang Cheng helplessly rubbed his nose. He couldn't be blamed for this. Who asked him to only have such cheap goods? But he couldn't look down on public consumption, right? However, he still quickly followed after her.
After bypassing a barrier, the two of them finally saw the star of the concert, Yoo Yeonhee.
Sitting in front of the mirror, Yoo Yeonhee was getting her hair done by a hairstylist. Although her black hair seemed to be tied up in a simple fashion, she had put in a lot of effort into it. She wanted it to look fashionable, yet casual and simple.
Many staff members were busy walking back and forth at the back, contacting the stage staff in front. No one paid too much attention to the entrance of Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi.
When Yoo Yeonhee saw Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng in the mirror, she waved her hand to signal the stylist to stop.
After the hairdresser left, Yoo Yeonhee stood up from her seat. She looked dazzling in her pink and white dance dress. Her snow-white shoulders, towering breasts, and supple legs were all works of art.
Even if Yang Cheng didn't have a good impression of this woman, he had to admit that if she didn't undergo plastic surgery, her natural beauty would be extraordinary.
It was a pity that Lin Ruoxi didn't look any weaker in front of Yoo Yeonhee. She didn't have any makeup on. She was dressed in a traditional professional suit. Because of this, Yoo Yeonhee's attire looked pale and weak.
When Yoo Yeonhee saw Lin Ruoxi, she naturally felt the difference between her and the woman in front of her. She was sensitive and felt uncomfortable, but she didn't show it. Instead, she showed a more relaxed attitude and walked up with a smile.
"My manager told me that Yu Lei International's General Lin and Director Yang will be here to support me. Although we had some unpleasantness between us, I would still like to thank the two of you for coming," Yoo Yeonhee said sweetly.
"Miss Yoo, the misunderstanding between us isn't worth it. There will be many opportunities for us to work together in the future. As a sponsor, it's only right for us to be here," Lin Ruoxi said faintly as she turned around and signaled to Yang Cheng with her eyes.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly in his heart. However, he still went up and greeted Yoo Yeonhee, "I wish the Heavenly Empress a successful performance."
Yoo Yeonhee seemed to have gotten back at him. The corner of her lips rose and she smiled, "I hope that Director Yang is sincere."
"Miss Yoo, you must be joking. I've never been a hypocrite before," Yang Cheng replied with a smile.
Yoo Yeonhee's smile froze. Yang Chen's words obviously meant that he had no intention of taking back his words of sarcasm.
However, with the concert around the corner, Yoo Yeonhee knew that it wasn't the time for her to waste her breath. She turned around and said to a female assistant beside her, "Ying Li, bring me three glasses of champagne."
The South Korean assistant, Ying Li, wore a black professional uniform. She had an average appearance and was extremely respectful to Yoo Yeonhee. She didn't even dare to raise her head. She immediately agreed and went to get the champagne.
"Although champagne is usually reserved for the celebration after the concert, I believe that the two of you won't be able to wait until then. So, I'd like to invite the two of you to have a drink now as a token of my appreciation for your visit!" Yoo Yeonhee said with a smile.
Although her words sounded nice, it was clear that she was implying that they should leave after they're done.
Lin Ruoxi wasn't angered by Yoo Yeonhee's attitude. She only looked at Yang Cheng worriedly. She initially thought that Yang Cheng would be disgusted, but she never expected that Yang Cheng would be thinking about something.
Sensing Lin Ruoxi's questioning gaze, Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head. "Nothing much. I was just thinking that Miss Yoo is really thoughtful."
Although Lin Ruoxi didn't believe that Yang Cheng was thinking about something like that, she didn't probe any further.
Not long later, Ying Li came over with a tray with three glasses of champagne on it. The aroma permeated the surroundings.
As the host, Yoo Yeonhee wanted to pick up a glass. However, she never expected that Yang Cheng would reach for the glass first and snatched it away from Yoo Yeonhee's eyes.
"Hey, Miss Yoo, this champagne is pretty good. Let me have a taste." Yang Cheng took the glass without any hesitation and poured the champagne into his mouth.
"It's good that Director Yang likes it." Yoo Yeonhee knitted her brows.
Putting down the empty glass, Yang Cheng smiled. "The taste is pretty good. Let me drink these two as well."
Having said that, Yang Chen picked up the two glasses of champagne, one in each hand, and poured it into his mouth in front of the two women.
Ying Li, who was standing at the side, finally raised her head when she saw this. Her ordinary face revealed a shocked expression.
Lin Ruoxi, on the other hand, was rather annoyed. She didn't understand what was wrong with Yang Chen. They could've just finished the champagne and left immediately. It would've been considered as a courtesy visit. Did this man have to make things awkward?
However, before Lin Ruoxi could ponder over it, Yang Cheng suddenly revealed a pained expression. His facial features twisted together and his brows knitted together. His face turned pale!
"Argh …"
With a painful roar, Yang Cheng suddenly held onto his abdomen. His eyes widened as he fell to the ground!
The sudden change stunned Lin Ruoxi and Yoo Yeonhee. Yang Cheng, who was fine a moment ago, was now trembling as he supported himself with both hands on the ground. It was as if he was possessed!
"Yang … Yang Cheng!" Lin Ruoxi was the first to snap out of it. She immediately squatted down. Due to her panic, her calm demeanor had long disappeared. At this moment, her face was pale and bloodless.
Lin Ruoxi supported Yang Cheng's body with both hands and asked anxiously, "D-Don't scare me! What's wrong?! "
Yang Cheng raised his head with great difficulty. His eyes were bloodshot and his pale lips were trembling. He was panting as he said, "There's … poison … champagne …"
Clang! Clang!
A series of crisp sounds rang out as the tray in Ying Li's hands fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
At this moment, Ying Li's face was stiff and pale. She swallowed her saliva and couldn't say a word. Her body was trembling as if her soul had been sucked out. She was mumbling something but couldn't make a sound.
The series of strange events finally attracted the attention of all the staff in the dressing room. Everyone was confused when they saw Yang Cheng lying on the ground and the pale Ying Li. At the same time, they wanted to know what was going on.
Yoo Yeonhee, who was in a daze, finally realized what was going on. She turned her head and looked at Ying Li. Her elegant face was instantly distorted.
Slap!
Yoo Yeonhee's slap caused Ying Li to fall to the ground!
"Bitch! How dare you poison me!? "Yoo Yeonhee had already forgotten to speak in Mandarin and started cursing in Korean.
It was only then that everyone realized that Ying Li was the one who tried to poison someone. However, she didn't harm Yoo Yeonhee but the guest instead.
Ying Li was dizzy from Yoo Yeonhee's slap. She covered her red face and wailed on the ground, "Miss Yoo … I … I've let you down … If I didn't do that, my parents and my little brother would have been killed … Wah …"
"Just because of that, you followed that person's instructions and poisoned me?! Do you know that if I die, your entire family will be finished?! "Yoo Yeonhee was burning with anger as she kicked Ying Li's chest!
The heel of her high heels dealt a heavy blow to Ying Li's chest. Ying Li coughed out a mouthful of blood on the spot and was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
At this moment, the bodyguards outside finally rushed in. Seeing the chaos, they quickly chased the unrelated staff out of the dressing room and warned them not to speak a word.
In reality, most of the people were scared out of their wits. Who would dare to disobey the bodyguards' warning? They were afraid that they would become the victim. After all, murder involved confidential information.
Ying Li had already fainted from the pain after being kicked a few times by Yoo Yeonhee. Her body was covered in blood and she was dragged to another room by a strong bodyguard.
Just when Yoo Yeonhee calmed herself down and thought of the 'sucker', Yang Cheng, at the scene, she realized that Yang Cheng had disappeared after drinking three cups of poisoned wine.
"Are you looking for me?"
Yoo Yeonhee heard Yang Cheng's voice coming from behind her. She turned around and saw Yang Cheng sitting on a dressing chair with a cheerful expression. He greeted her with a normal expression and didn't show any signs of being poisoned!
Lin Ruoxi, who was on the verge of tears, was now standing beside Yang Cheng with a stern expression. It was as if she couldn't wait to devour Yang Cheng alive. She was infuriated.
"You … How did you … Didn't you …" Yoo Yeonhee was speechless. She thought that Yang Cheng was already dead. After all, if it was a poison that wanted to kill her, there wouldn't be any time to save him. But why did it seem like she was hallucinating?!
"The reason why I'm still alive isn't important." Yang Cheng shook his finger and asked, "Miss Yoo, I think you should be talking to us about who tried to kill you. After all … we nearly lost our lives with you."
