23 PLAYBOY IDOL (2/2)

Zhong Feng did not pause for even a moment. The hostess could only abandon most of her austerity and walk faster to avoid attracting the impatience and possible wrath of the man. Behind him, Hu Lei could not help patting herself to confirm whether she was invisible because the hostess did not even glance at her.

Unfortunately, the great emperor had exceptional peripheral vision.

”Stop playing around.” He spoke without turning his head around.

She twisted her nose in annoyance. If he could see her, he could probably see all those people that stared at him. He just treated them like air, and denied her the entertainment she deserved. She could not help poking her tongue out at his back discretely.

She did not know whether he saw her childish action, but she assumed the best when he did not speak again.

The hostess did not understand the dynamic between the two guests. She naturally knew of the famous Mr Zhong, but she had never seen the woman with him. However, it was not her place to know anything. She led them to a large modern gazebo in a beautiful courtyard before bowing and leaving.

In the gazebo, a beautiful man sat relaxed, playing on his phone. His youthful look gave him that playboy idol look which was popular in the continent. In her head, Hu Lei could see him bursting out some pop tune, dancing in a line-up of a multi-coloured hair band.

The little person in her heart laughed at the image. Outwardly, Hu Lei remained calm and took a deep breath as she focused on her role.

She reminded herself that it was a simple meeting. As her father's little helper, she had met a lot of powerful people in her life. This idol was nothing in comparison. Moreover, she needed to perform well because she had not forgotten her original goal. She wanted to dazzle Zhong Feng and look down on him she smiled.

When the idol man looked up, his eyes seemed to twinkle like little stars. His gaze shifted from Zhong Feng to her and then back. Somehow, he seemed more fervent by the second.

Hu Lei tilted her head in puzzlement. There was definitely something wrong with this picture. If Etude Technologies was courting this person's company for business, shouldn't he be a little more like 'impress me'? This person looked like a little puppy on an energy drink.

She frowned as she evaluated the situation. As a smart person, she came up with some clues, but she did not express her suspicions. She was not employed to analyse people or stick her nose in other people's affairs. As long as she fulfilled her duties, she did not need to do anything else.
