There was only a busy tone on the phone that had already been hung up, forcing her to make her own decision.
In the quiet air, there was only the sound of the second hand of the clock on the wall moving and the busy tone on the phone, forming a strange feeling, making Wan Qianqian's heart begin to tighten little by little.
She lifted her deeply buried face from her knees. Her hair, which should have been smooth, was exceptionally disheveled at this moment, covering half of her delicate face.
The pair of clear and bright eyes were confused for two seconds before finally falling on the box on the side of the coffee table. The dress full of dark aura occupied all of her eyes, and after staring for two seconds, she slowly closed her eyes.
After closing her eyes for a while, she slowly opened them again. When she did, her eyes were clear and filled with determination.
On the other side of the venue.
As soon as Gu Tanfeng walked into the venue, after receiving a wave of admiring and surprised eyes, he was followed by those strange expressions from all directions, followed by two people whispering with their heads down, or in groups of three or five. The only similarity was that they would occasionally glance at Gu Tanfeng during the discussion.
At this time, in a relatively remote corner of the venue, Sakai Masao was swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, his narrow eyes crossed many people and fell on Gu Tanfeng, and the trace of gloominess became more and more obvious.
After staring for a moment, when he noticed that Gu Tanfeng's face was inclined to look over, Sakai Masao withdrew his gaze and chatted with the people around him.
"Mr. Sakai, Gu Tanfeng doesn't look like he has amnesia." Li Yong, who had been closely following Sakai Masao, still had a worried look on his face, holding a glass of wine in his hand as he spoke with extreme depression.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he was attacked by Sakai Masao's venomous and ice-cold gaze. That ice-cold gaze almost shone into Li Yong's heart, causing his entire body to tremble fiercely. The wine cup in his hand almost couldn't be held steadily, and it slipped in his palm.
"That's because he has He Zeng by his side." Sakai Masao fiercely squeezed out such a sentence from his throat, his hoarse and angry voice slowly came out, then he reached out his hand and drank the red wine in the high-heeled glass in one gulp.
It seemed that only by drinking that mouthful of red wine could he calm his anger that was about to explode. After the anger subsided bit by bit, reason also gradually returned to his mind. In the next second, he seemed to remember something, and the corner of his mouth slowly pursed into a faint smile.
A hint of joy gradually burst out of his narrow eyes. Sakai Masao stretched out his hand and made a gesture. Soon, a bodyguard came out of nowhere and stood respectfully behind Sakai Masao.
Sakai Masao slightly leaned forward, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered a few words in the bodyguard's ear. Then he saw the bodyguard quickly leave. Sakai Masao's voice was very low and he spoke in Japanese. Li Yong couldn't understand it at all.
After the bodyguard left, more and more doubts accumulated in Li Yong's heart, causing him to uncontrollably reveal a confused expression as he looked at Masao Sakai, using a fawning tone to deduce, "Mr. Sakai, what's your brilliant plan?"
"Sit and watch the show." The corner of Sakai Masao's mouth was still pursed into a faint smile. He did not directly give Li Yong an answer, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not reveal his true emotions.
Gu Tanfeng, who noticed a malicious and hateful gaze falling on him, looked in that direction with great accuracy. Finally, it landed on Sakai Masao, who was talking to someone. The wrinkles between his eyebrows couldn't help but have one more mark.
"Mr. Gu? What's the matter? " CEO Wang, who was talking with Gu Tanfeng, noticed that Gu Tanfeng's attention was diverted away, so he asked politely.
He Zeng, who was standing at the side, reacted quickly. Before Gu Tanfeng could speak, he responded to President Wang first, "President Wang, I'm really embarrassed. President Wang has only just recovered, so he's prone to getting distracted."
CEO Wang, who had a slightly ugly expression, heard this and the unhappy expression on his face suddenly disappeared. After exchanging a few words with He Zeng, he raised his glass and went in. At this time, He Zeng followed the direction Gu Tanfeng was staring at and finally, his eyes steadily fell on Sakai Masao.
He Zeng, who was inevitably a little worried, tightly pursed his thin lips and then whispered in Gu Tanfeng's ear, "CEO, do you need to take a break?"
Gu Tanfeng, who was staring at Sakai Masao, shook his head slightly. His two thin pink lips were almost pressed into a straight line. A bad feeling rose in his blank mind, and there was also a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
In his mind, a delicate face with a sly smile appeared in his mind, causing the corners of his mouth to involuntarily curl up into a faint smile. But soon he realized that he was thinking of someone, and his whole face quickly froze, once again returning to that sculpture-like face.
He Zeng, who had been concerned about the changes in Gu Tanfeng's expression, clearly noticed Gu Tanfeng's abnormality. The first reaction in his mind was that Gu Tanfeng showed a faint smile to Sakai Masao?
This speculation was like a bolt of lightning that struck He Zeng's mind. The corners of his mouth twitched without a trace.
"Where is she?" From beginning to end, the entire venue did not see the figure that he had been thinking about in his heart. The wrinkles between Gu Tanfeng's eyebrows were even more obvious. His cold and sharp eyes swept across the venue, secretly trying to catch a glimpse of that familiar figure.
Who was the 'she' that Gu Tanfeng mentioned? He Zeng immediately came to a realization, and then some things flashed in his mind. His eyes flickered in the corner that Gu Tanfeng was looking at, and he replied with a muffled snort, "I didn't see her."
The banquet had been going on for a while. As the representative of R&C, the organizer of the banquet, Wen Jingxin, in a graceful long dress, walked to the podium that was a step higher than the terrain. With a faint smile on her delicate face, she stood in front of a microphone. "Hello, everyone."
Her delicate and soft voice attracted everyone's attention. Her sweet voice fell into their eardrums like desserts, causing all the guests to show a gentle smile. Except for Gu Tanfeng.
"Today, I'm very grateful that everyone could participate in this group cultural exchange banquet. On behalf of all the staff of R&C, I would like to express my sincere gratitude …" A series of very formulaic speeches slowly rang throughout the banquet, and her natural and graceful manner fell into the hearts of many people.
Wen Jingxin's gaze always fell on Gu Tanfeng, intentionally or unintentionally, but she could not get a single glance from Gu Tanfeng, who was like an iceberg.
Wen Jingxin, whose self-esteem was causing mischief in the bottom of her heart, slowly raised her head and puffed out her chest. The light of confidence burst forth from her slender figure, and her cautious gaze just now became extraordinarily bold and blazing. Her gaze passed through those admiring and various other gazes, and finally landed firmly on him.
Gu Tanfeng, who was more sensitive, instantly sensed this blazing gaze. He immediately shifted his gaze in Wen Jingxin's direction, and his eyes that did not contain a trace of warmth stared straight at her burning adoration.
Following Wen Jingxin's bold and blazing gaze, the rest of the people in the venue also looked at Gu Tanfeng. Those soft discussions began to ring out again, causing He Zeng to continuously frown in displeasure. His tightly pursed lips slightly opened, and he groaned in a low voice. "What is she doing?"
"Now, let us have a dance to celebrate the success of this banquet." Wen Jingxin, who was still staring at Gu Tanfeng, spoke slowly. Her gaze was like that of a hunting beast staring at its prey.
"She can't be thinking of …" He Zeng's pair of sharp and calm eyes gradually wavered. His mouth opened slightly, and his voice was filled with astonishment.
Sure enough, in the next second, he saw Wen Jingxin put down the microphone and then stride in their direction. Her pair of slender hands gently pinched the hem of her dress that was slightly dragging on the ground. Her straight back gave people the feeling of a proud white swan, and every step she took was exceptionally precise.
"Bang — —" But just as Wen Jingxin was about to walk in front of Gu Tanfeng, the tightly shut door of the venue made a slight knocking sound, giving people the feeling that the door was being smashed.
Outside the door, Wan Qianqian, who was wearing a black evening dress, looked at the two guards with a cold face. Her slender eyebrows slightly raised, and her bright red lips slightly opened. She spoke very slowly from her throat. "Do you want to die?"
Every word seemed to contain the coldness of winter, directly approaching the hearts of the two guards. The two heads quickly shook their heads. When they first saw her, they were still amazed, but at this moment, there was only panic left on their faces. They could not wait to immediately invite this queen in.
"Open the door." Wan Qianqian, who was in an extremely bad mood along the way, still did not show any signs of warmth on her face. She coldly gave the order like a queen.
"Yes, yes, yes …" The two guards hurriedly turned around to study the door that suddenly could not be opened. Cold sweat seeped out of their foreheads bit by bit, gathering into a large bead of sweat before sliding down the muscles of their faces.
Two pairs of hands were clumsily studying, and they could clearly feel a pair of frosty eyes staring at them from behind, as if they were going to stare a hole in them.
"It could obviously be opened just now. Hurry up and contact the people inside to see if it can be opened." One of them had a gloomy expression as he urged the other, his hands still fiddling with the lock.
