Chapter 834 - Investigate the situation (1/2)
While the people of Imperial went on with their morning, a black car stops in front of An Qing. The driver and passenger door open simultaneously, allowing Qi Li and Liu Shan to step out into the view.
The two men's sudden appearance caused the surrounding people to look their way. Especially their attires that held a mixture of modern and ancient.
”Oh, who are they? Why did they suddenly in front of An Qing?”
”Look at the way they are dress. Can they be actors on their way to film a movie?”
”No, I don't think so. They parked in front of An Qing, so they must be models.”
Quickly as the two fashionable men appear, whispers began to resonate from all directions. Some couldn't help but stay to watch, while others could only leave as they needed to reach their destination on time.
”Eh, I wonder who's in the back seat? Is it a celebrity?”
”I don't know, but if we stay, we'll be able to find out soon.”
Whispers continue from the curious crowd, but Liu Shan and Qi Li paid no mind to them. The assistant stops in front of the back door behind the passenger seat while Qi Li to the other side.
Liu Shan leisurely pulls the door open as he naturally takes a few steps back. Following, a pair of slender legs step out of the car before a figure clothed in all white comes into view.
”Oh my God! It's Han Yue Ling!”
”Han Yue Ling has made an appearance in public! Did something happen?”
”Wasn't it said that she's the real CEO of An Qing? Could this be why she is here?”
Although an uproar of bystanders' voices can be heard, Yue Ling did not notice them. Like Liu Shan and Qi Li, she wasn't bothered by it and made her way towards her purpose-- An Qing.
Behind her, the two men didn't wait and follow in pursuit. However, their demeanors changed from an assistant and ill.u.s.trator into bodyguards.
As the last person in the group, Jiang Shengyi didn't forget to keep a close distance, but one can see a look of admiration in her eyes.
She was genuinely amazed by the scene in front of her. Not from the attention of the crowd but Yue Ling's behavior.
Yue Ling may no longer be a model from her understanding, but she is still a celebrity. However, unlike your usual celebrity who go out in public with bodyguards, there were none. Not only that, she (Yue Ling) seems unfazed by the people watching.
As someone new to the group, she (Jiang Shengyi) felt she had made the right decision by leaving Fang Fabrics. The longer she stared at the back of the three figures walking in front of her, she couldn't help but feel like she traveled back in time.
As Jiang Shengyi's thoughts wandered in her mind, she was quickly brought back to reality. Yue Ling's pace had slowed down until the two women were walking shoulder to shoulder.
”Ah, CEO Han, is something the matter?”
Yue Ling doesn't look at Jiang Shengyi but continues in her steps. Her eyes remained in the direction in front of her.
”A warning in advance.”
Her angelic voice softly sounds, and her eyes ever so lightly flutter. She stares at the tall building ahead, and her words continue.
”This meeting will not be like your normal meetings in the past.”
Hearing this, Jiang Shengyi could only blink her eyes with a confused look on her face. She wanted to ask why, but seeing a strange look in Yue Ling's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to ask.
”I understand. I will do my best not to disappoint you.”
Yue Ling's eyes never faltered away from An Qing. The closer she got to the building she built from hard work, her bluish-green eyes darken like the deepest part of the Meditteranean sea.
Quickly as they appeared, the four individuals disappear as they enter the doors of An Qing, leaving those who cannot enter curiously.
The moment Yue Ling, Liu Shan, Qi Li, and Jiang Shengyi entered through the glass doors, a gust of blistering cold wind brushes past them.
Yue Ling's eyebrows furrow together at the coldness, and she stops in her steps. On her left, Qi Li pursed his lips while Jiang Shengyi couldn't help but rub her arms for warmth.
”What's going on? Why is it so cold in here?”
Standing on the right side of his boss, Liu Shan mutters with an expression like he had eaten something sour. He looks around and slightly leans towards Yue Ling.
”Boss, is it just me, or does the temperature in here feel colder than outside?”
His words entered Yue Ling's ears and remained there. She had thought the same thing when she felt the cold air upon entering.
It was the middle of the cold season. What should feel like summer inside was like that of a frozen lake.
Her eyes glanced around the place, and she can see that every person going on with their work dressed warmly. Even the securities were in their coats and had scarves wrapped around their necks.
