?Chapter 552: Chapter 553: Strangers (2) _1 Chapter 552: Chapter 553: Strangers (2) _1 Jing Haohao stood in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection of herself in a low-cut long dress, draped in a red suit jacket. An unexplainable sense of foreboding subtly surfaced in her heart.
…
Jing Haohao emerged from the dressing room just as Mr. Chen was called out by his secretary. Upon seeing Jing Haohao’s makeup, Mr. Chen’s gaze slightly brightened, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. He turned to Jing Haohao and said, “Let’s go.”
Mr. Chen’s driver dropped off Jing Haohao and Mr. Chen at the main entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel.
The moment Mr. Chen and Jing Haohao stepped into the hall, a waiter immediately led them through the crowd into a private room on the second floor. Inside, numerous people were already seated — they were likely the competitors for the bidding case that evening.
Those in the business world knew how to socialize. Today’s competitor might become tomorrow’s business partner. Therefore, the men seated in the room immediately rose to greet Mr. Chen warmly.
Jing Haohao had been admonished by Mr. Chen’s secretary to simply stay silent while maintaining a smile. As such, she stood quietly behind Mr. Chen, following those guidelines.
The room slowly filled with representatives from various businesses. Each greeted Mr. Chen warmly. Jing Haohao, following along at Mr. Chen’s side, saw that each secretary was outdoing the next in attractiveness.
The dining table in the private room was large, able to seat dozens. As the number of empty seats dwindled, Jing Haohao felt that the crowd had more or less gathered. However, no one seemed to be calling the waiter to start the meal.
The people around her were still engaging in polite conversation, so she could only maintain her smile while standing erect.
About five minutes later, the door to the room suddenly swung open. The people sitting at the table, engrossed in conversation, collectively rose to their feet.
Jing Haohao, confused, rose as well. Before she could turn around, she saw an older man by her side quickly stride towards the door. He greeted the newcomer warmly, “Mr. Liang, long time no see.”
Following his greeting, the other older men steadily made their way forward to greet the newcomer as well.
Blocked by the crowd, Jing Haohao couldn’t see who had entered the room. But her mind was shaken by the simultaneous cries of “Mr. Liang.”
Could it be Liang Chen?
But in Jiangshan City, wasn’t Liang Chen the only “Mr. Liang”?
Could it possibly be that much of a coincidence?
Just as multiple chaotic thoughts began to fill Jing Haohao’s mind, a familiar yet mild voice suddenly resounded. The voice was neither light nor heavy but carried an undeniable force, “Everyone, please take your seats.”
His words, akin to a royal decree, caused the crowd that was initially surrounding him to clear a path. Jing Haohao clearly saw Liang Chen, walking in as though he were the moon surrounded by stars.
Compared to last night, when he had been completely drunk, he looked spirited and handsome today. His pale face bore a stern expression.
The moment she heard the name “Mr. Liang”, she guessed it was him. Now, upon seeing his face in person, Jing Haohao found herself frozen in place.
While walking towards the dining table, Liang Chen nodded slightly at the CEOs of various companies as a form of greeting. But just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly stopped.
The people around him were taken aback by Liang Chen’s abrupt halt. They exchanged looks, unsure of what had occurred.
Liang Chen’s forehead gently furrowed, sensing that his breathing was somewhat unstable. It took him quite a while to slowly turn his head around, before his gaze finally landed on Jing Haohao’s face.
