C30 (1/2)

This meeting didn't have any main purpose, it was to gather all the participants so that they could get to know each other. Rather than calling it a meeting, it would be more appropriate to call it a gathering, full of cheers and laughter.

Jane had been in society for a few months already, she knew that although they were all smiling, behind their smiling faces were sinister looks, which they were all scheming against each other. If Jane had still been in college in Spain, this scene would have made her very happy, but behind her, it would have been a complete mess.

A woman wearing a black, tight western dress stood in front of the microphone. She had an exquisite makeup painted on her face as she faced the people below the stage. She said in a very meticulous manner:

”Everyone here is a participant from this year's competition. I presume you all know each other?”

A burst of cheers sounded from below the stage, but it quickly died down in an instant. Everyone here had undergone higher education, and each one of them was either a doctor or a recluse. They had seen too many grand occasions, and had to pay close attention to their manners and etiquette.

After the woman on the stage heard the silence, she continued, ”We don't have that many requirements for this competition. It's just that there are three points. Look good, smell good, and it's really expensive! ”Everyone knows that perfume has become an essential part of this society and is also a type of perfume used by men and women to enhance their charm. Whether you make perfume for men or women, as long as it is enough to attract the attention of our board and judges, the final victory for this competition will be yours.”

At this moment, the audience was cheering again. The woman did not continue talking and just waved her hand, ”Alright, I have nothing else to say anymore. Everyone, work hard, it will be your turn in ten days, I hope you will not disappoint me.

The rest of the time is yours. Eat well and play well. ”

After the woman left the stage, Jane heard Fu Chen Xing mutter to himself, ”This woman is quite amazing. She's the Gu family's junior chairman. She's quite capable and she's a decent person. I'm afraid you'll have to deal with her in the future.”

Jane was reluctant to pay any attention to such matters, as she had a headache coming and going. She only wanted to rely on her own hard work to finish the competition and meet up with Gu Chen.

When she returned home, Jane received a call from a colleague at the company, informing her that Gu Chen was awake.

A beep sounded from the other end of the phone, but Jane was still sitting there in a daze. She felt a mix of emotions in her heart, and it took her a long time to recover. Only when she regained consciousness did she realize that she had arrived at the entrance of the hospital where Gu Chen was staying.

Jane looked at the thick white wall, eager to see what had happened to the man who had been injured for her.

Jane looked into the hospital. There were a few men in black suits standing at the entrance, they seemed to be bodyguards or something like that. Jane was aware that these men were Gu Chen's men. After hesitating for a while, she decided to enter. However, just as she arrived at the door, she was stopped. She raised her eyes and saw that they were Gu Chen's steward.

There was a faint smile on his face, and a thin layer of thick beard at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were blue, and it seemed like he had stayed up for a long time.

”Miss Mu, what are you doing here?”

The housekeeper didn't know that Jane originally had a name called Jane Chu. He only knew that she was the eldest miss who had been expelled from the Jane family. He also knew that this woman in front of him was Gu Chen's lover.

She looked into the hospital with her big eyes filled with water vapor and pleaded, ”I heard that Mr Gu has woken up. Can I go in to take a look? I'll just take a look, then I'll leave! It's true! ”

The steward looked at the delicate woman in front of him. Her delicate and pitiful appearance made him feel somewhat reluctant to part with her, but he was only the steward of the Gu family. Besides taking care of the Gu family, he also had to obey orders.

The butler's expression did not remain calm as he said, ”I'm sorry, Miss Mu. My young master needs to rest. Look, it's already late. He should return home to rest early!”
