Yu Yao immediately noticed the silver Kliment parked quietly in the underground garage. The license plates reflected under the tail lights were a string of special consecutive numbers.
She walked over with her bag.
The car window slowly descended, revealing Chu Feng's not very bright face, "Miss Yu, please get in."
Yu Yao slightly nodded, about to open the door next to the driver's seat.
You can hear Chen Zhongyuan's deep and mellow voice from the back seat: "Sit in the back."
She was slightly taken aback, opened the door of the back seat, and sat down.
The man glanced at her, revealing in an instant a vast sea of deep calmness and silent impetuousness.
"Where are we going, Mr. Chen?"
Yu Yao asked timely.
"There is a gathering, come with me as well."
Chen Zhongyuan glanced at her and gave a slight explanation.
He had originally intended to have dinner with her, but then changed his mind after receiving a call.
When Yu Yao heard this, she knew that it wasn't just a private dinner for the two of them, and her heart was slightly disappointed, but she didn't say anything.
The Kliment slowly exits the underground garage, joining the stream of traffic and moving evenly along the commercial avenue lined with towering buildings.
The car was incredibly quiet, and Chen Zhongyuan, lounging lazily against the backrest of his chair, asked casually, "Miss Yu, why did you choose to work for Weisheng Group?"
Yu Yao glanced at him, thinking in her heart: Of course, it's to conquer you, give you children...
She paused for a few seconds before replying, "Weisheng Group has business all over the world and is one of the top companies. Working at Weisheng Group is probably the dream of every employee, and naturally it's also my dream."
She complimented the other person subtly and concealed her true intention.
Chen Zhongyuan lifted his lip slightly and turned his head to look at her suddenly, asking, "Can you drink?"
Yu Yao's mind turned, and she understood the meaning behind the other person's question.
There's going to be a private gathering later, and it's likely that drinking will be unavoidable.
The original owner was a very demure girl, naturally she wouldn't drink, and her body had no tolerance for alcohol.
Even though she has a strong tolerance for alcohol in her bones, once she enters this body, she becomes unable to drink.
Yu Yao's face flushed slightly, and she said delicately, "I can only have a few sips."
Chen Zhongyuan's deep eyes looked at her face and went around twice, understanding the meaning behind her words.
A few sips mean she can't drink.
He relaxed his shoulders against the seat and lazily gazed at Yu Yao with weary eyes, his lips curving slightly, "Not being able to drink is quite good."
He doesn't like women with a strong smell of alcohol.
Of course, if it's a special occasion that requires drinking, it's another matter.
For example, his first secretary Aya often covers for him at various wine parties.
This is work-related.
Yu Yao glanced at him in surprise, quickly realizing that this man prefers pure and clean girls.
Or, to put it another way, the kind that's suitable for a family life.
As the boss's secretary, she can't not know how to drink, which is a bit of a dilemma.
The slanting dusk light poured into the car, illuminating the man's side profile with a layer of gold, making him appear both solemn and aristocratic.
The car finally stopped at the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, with several cruise ships moored along the edge.
The gentle sea breeze welcomed them, and after getting out of the car, the three of them walked towards the largest and most luxurious cruise ship docked at the pier.
Four black-clad bodyguards get out of another car and tightly surround Chen Zhongyuan.
Yu Yao was also separated as a result.
Behind two steps, walking together with Chu Feng.
The people on the pier saw this and automatically made way, with expressions of respect and curiosity.
A group of entertainment reporters saw Chen Zhongyuan and kept snapping photos with their cameras.
Although Chen Zhongyuan is not from the entertainment industry, he is indeed a major figure in the Hong Kong business world, and his news often appears in financial reports.
It is also a celebrity.
Some reporters even tried to approach him for an interview, but they were all blocked by the bodyguards.
Lin Chenguang, the heir of the Lin family, walked down from the yacht to welcome them.
"Haha, Zhongyuan, I've been waiting for you. Come on, let's have a good drink today."
He smiled and patted Chen Zhongyuan on the shoulder, and the two walked together onto the cruise ship.
Yu Yao and Chu Feng followed them onto the cruise ship.
The four bodyguards also followed, but they did not enter inside; they just stood guard outside.
Yu Yao and Chu Feng followed in as well.
The large lounge has excellent privacy, and several people are sitting there, both men and women.
Chen Zhongyuan is sitting at the far end, his cold, pale fingers holding a lit cigar, and he is conversing with Lin Chenguang, the prince of the Lin family, in low voices.
A group of people are by his side, and several uniformed waiters are serving around him, either bringing out delicious food, or opening champagne...
Today is a private gathering, and all those present are friends in Chen Zhongyuan's circle.
Yu Yao doesn't know them, but she does recognize some of them from financial news.
It's just that some of them she can't name.
She doesn't know what Chen Zhongyuan brought her here for.
She just wants to be alone with Chen Zhongyuan, not attend this boring gathering.
She and Chu Feng found a place to sit down.
She saw that the Lin family's prince kept staring at her.
"Haha, Zhongyuan, have you finally seen the light? Your taste is good; she's quite pure..."
Lin Chenguang, the prince of the Lin family, gazed at Yu Yao with his eyes roving, happily saying to Chen Zhongyuan.
After slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Chen Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Yu Yao through the thin smoke. He saw her face was not happy.
He knew she was unhappy, being brought to such an event.
Thinking about the promise to have dinner with her today, a vague feeling of guilt crossed his mind.
"Don't misunderstand, she is my secretary."
This was said to Lin Chenguang who was beside him.
Lin Chenguang chuckled twice and said, "A secretary turned mistress is also acceptable."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Chen Zhongyuan extinguished the cigar in his hand, his eyes dropping slightly, lost in thought.
Yu Yao is holding a glass of juice, standing up and walking to the corridor of the ship to blow the sea breeze.
At this moment, night had fallen.
The seaside at night is like a mysterious and charming painting, the tides shimmering in silver light under the moon, gently lapping against the soft sand.
She stood there for a while.
Just then, Lin Chenguang, who was previously talking to Chen Zhongyuan, walked out at some point.
"You're Chen Zhongyuan's secretary? What's your name? You look like you just graduated from university. How long have you been working at Weisheng Group?"
Lin Chenguang glanced at her, his tone lazy, and lightly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
Yu Yao has seen reports about this man and knows that he is Lin Chenguang, the heir of the Lin family in the port area.
Although the commercial empire of the Lin family may not be on par with the Chen family, it is still one of the top two in the port area.
However, the man in front of him is a notorious womanizing playboy in Hong Kong Island.
He's had many scandalous rumors about dating Hong Kong beauty queens and film stars, and when it comes to female celebrities and young models, he's played with even more of them.
It is said that his private life is extremely chaotic.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Lin Chenguang slowly extinguished the cigarette butt, his gaze settling on her pure and lovely face. His eyes flickered slightly as he prodded further.
Such a pure and beautiful girl is rare, more beautiful than the female stars in the entertainment industry.
Most importantly, she is very pure.
Yu Yao opened her mouth, ready to answer.
Just as Chen Zhongyuan took a step forward, his gaze scanned over his friend, and he reminded him in a calm tone, "Don't bother her. She's different from the women you usually play with."
"You're quite rare to defend someone."
Lin Chenguang raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything else.
Yu Yao's phone suddenly rang. "I'm sorry, I need to take this call."
She walked to one side, picked up the phone, and saw it was a call from Yu Yuanchun.
She pressed the answer button and put it to her ear.
"Yu Yao, where have you been with work today? It's so late and you still haven't returned?"
The voice on the phone was slightly anxious, coming from Yu Yuanchun.
Chen Zhongyuan's deep eyes looked at her, and it wasn't far away. He could clearly hear the voice of a young man on the phone.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, took a puff of his cigar, and slowly exhaled a puff of light smoke. Under the neon lights, his expression was gloomy.
Yu Yao didn't notice Chen Zhongyuan's expression. Holding the phone, she spoke into it, "Brother, I'm accompanying the boss to a gathering and might be late in returning."
Chen Zhongyuan's fingertip was paused on his lip with the cigar, a sudden shock flashed across his eyes at the bottom, and then he laughed.
