Chapter 302: Chapter 297: Instructions from Above Chapter 302: Chapter 297: Instructions from Above “Yanyan?”

Liu Su called out.

“I won’t go over,” Shen Yan said, “they might not even know who I am.”

Liu Su’s expression shifted slightly and he said, “Then wait for the sir to come back and introduce you.”

“Dealing with the upper echelons of the Qi Family,” Shen Yan smiled, “I’m not good at this, focusing on my current work is enough.”

Liu Su frowned slightly, “You are the Qi Family’s eldest young mistress, you will eventually come into contact with this aspect.”

Even if she didn’t enter the company, they needed to let the group’s people know that there was such a person, so she could also have a say in property matters in the future.

Making more contacts was never a bad thing.

Thinking of what she had said to Qi Si in Mo Country, Shen Yan made up her mind to avoid interfering in the Qi Family’s business affairs as much as possible.

Liu Su was not aware of this.

Seeing that Shen Yan really didn’t want to, he didn’t insist.

After the two of them finished speaking, Wen Yan came back to her side, “Everyone is watching you!”

Shen Yan said, “Every newcomer gets watched for a while when they enter.”

“It’s my first time seeing you dressed so grandly,” Wen Yan scanned around and whispered, “Chu Jinghe deliberately wore a certain brand today just to shine at this reception, but she didn’t expect to be overshadowed by you.”

“This isn’t some red carpet, there’s no need to outshine each other,” Shen Yan had no interest in competing; this dress was also wearable on regular occasions, not just at banquets.

“You don’t have to compete to overshadow the actresses and socialites here by several notches!” Wen Yan felt that Shen Yan was really special tonight.

Even if Shen Yan hadn’t worn a dress and expensive jewelry, she would have stolen the limelight from all the women present.

Shen Yan laughed, “Teacher Wen, if you keep praising me, I might just start floating.”

Wen Yan wanted to compliment more but held back upon hearing that.

Xie Xuan tugged at him, “All the seniors have arrived, we should go over too.”

Wen Yan hurriedly said to Shen Yan, “Shen Yan, come over with us, too.”

Xie Xuan stood by Wen Yan’s side, nodding at her.

Shen Yan shook her head, “I’m just an amateur enthusiast, music is better left to you professionals.”

“Let’s go,” Xie Xuan understood her intent, taking Wen Yan by the wrist, heading in another direction.

“Senior, why not persuade Shen Yan a bit? I think her musical talent is really good; she might even develop in this direction,” Wen Yan said, looking at Xie Xuan.

“She doesn’t want to enter this circle,” Xie Xuan said.

“But I think…”

Xie Xuan cut in, “Wen Yan, everyone has their own aspirations, don’t meddle in her affairs.”

“Oh.”

Seeing Xie Xuan frown, Wen Yan knew he wasn’t pleased and lifted his other hand to pat his shoulder.

Xie Xuan let go of his hold and stepped in front.

Shen Yan watched their harmonious figures and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.

Shi Lian hid in the crowd, looking towards Shen Yan.

Then, turning to where Chu Jinghe was, Shi Lian smirked scornfully.

As soon as Chu Jinghe entered, she had been looking for the Mu Family.

The Mu Family members were unsatisfied with Chu Jinghe; they had used Shen Yan to provoke her before.

When the Mu Family’s gaze shifted their way, Shen Yan turned and found the direction to the restroom.

Coming out of the restroom, Shen Yan turned another way, pushing open the door to see a quiet corridor ahead; she continued slowly inside until it suddenly opened up to a man-made courtyard, low and lush with various flowers, grass, and grand pines.

It was very quiet here.

Shen Yan heard low voices in conversation and stopped in her tracks.

“Inside the Qi Group, everything is safe for now, but some related materials have suddenly come from above, and our approach might be wrong. It’s not the Qi Group that has a problem; it’s the Qi person in power that has a problem; he is involved in not a small number of businesses overseas…”

“With such materials from above, why weren’t they delivered directly before and suddenly handed over, won’t there be other issues?” That was Li Xu’s questioning voice.

“You’re suspecting someone among us is a problem?” The person’s voice had deepened considerably.

Li Xu said, “I know such suspicions are wrong… but not everything adjacent to a national department is good…”

“Now you are questioning your own job, take back that thought, as though I never heard that sentence.” The counterpart seriously warned Li Xu, “Even if you have such thoughts in your mind, swallow them.”

Li Xu said with a hint of sarcasm, “Even if there really is an internal problem, should we keep making mistakes, play deaf and dumb?”

“In any case, we just need to do our jobs well according to the instructions from above, don’t think about anything else.”

Li Xu fell silent.

Shen Yan slowly backed out, a shadow of somberness coloring his features.

Instructions from above?

The information that had suddenly landed in his hands.

Were they going to transfer it from the Qi Group to Qi Si’s personal charge?

“Yanyan.”

Liu Su came looking for him.

“Uncle Liu,” Shen Yan stepped forward quickly, “What happened?”

“Some conflict erupted earlier up front, I worried it was you. I searched everywhere and found no one.” Liu Su was considerably relieved when he saw Shen Yan.

In the middle of the banquet, there was a commotion.

Shen Yan’s gaze followed to the central spot, where many onlookers were gathered around the center, Chu Jinghe trying to suppress the raging anger within, shaking watermelon juice off her evening gown.

Standing beside her, Shi Lian’s brows were deeply furrowed, apologizing to Chu Jinghe.

Fortunately, there was no media present. Otherwise, this scene could have made headlines and been subjected to public scrutiny.

It was Chu Jinghe who had first approached Shi Lian to greet her. Several glasses of watermelon juice were sitting nearby, which Chu Jinghe “accidentally” knocked over, splashing several cups all over herself.

The direction she stumbled was precisely aimed at Shi Lian, who instinctively pushed her away.

And then, that was what everyone saw.

Chu Jinghe was irritated that tonight Mu Jincheng had been accompanying Shi Lian all along, leaving her, the official girlfriend, out in the cold.

This kind of irritation, Chu Jinghe couldn’t tolerate for a moment.

She had thought that by this small maneuver, she could make Shi Lian withdraw first, but she didn’t expect that it would backfire on her.

Shi Lian was unscathed.

The Mu Family members, upon seeing this scene, showed signs of displeasure.

Their dissatisfaction with Chu Jinghe grew.

Did Chu Jinghe take everyone for fools?

As the official girlfriend of Mu Jincheng, how could it be that no one noticed her at the scene?

She thought her little act was well-concealed, but in reality, it had been witnessed by all.

What an embarrassment of a little star!

Madam Mu turned her face away coldly, not wanting the wealthy ladies nearby to caustically mock her son’s choice of girlfriend.

Fortunately, she was only a girlfriend.

Mu Jincheng looked down at the hand tugging at his sleeve, seeming quite impatient.

He had not felt it before, but lately, he always felt that Chu Jinghe, his girlfriend, was an embarrassment to him.

“Your dress is dirty, I’ll have someone take you to change,” Mu Jincheng said, repressing his impatience, leading her away.

As he turned, he saw Shen Yan, who was watching from behind the crowd, making Mu Jincheng feel even more embarrassed.

Shen Yan had just glanced before walking away, just in time to see Wen Yan and Xie Xuan approaching.

“What happened?” Wen Yan looked forward curiously, but Xie Xuan held her back.

“Don’t stare.” Xie Xuan looked at Shen Yan, “A senior appreciates your previous performance and wants you to be a singing guest. Personally, I suggest you meet this senior and then decide whether or not to accept.”

Shen Yan asked, “Have you also been invited to be singing guests?”

“Wen Yan and Little King Xie have both accepted. If you can accept too, we’ll have the chance to perform together again!” Wen Yan said with anticipation.
