Chapter 690: Chapter 690 Qiao Xi, You Ruined Me

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou seemed like a match made in heaven, standing on the central high platform.

The entire room fell silent.

Zhou Yu took the microphone, tested the sound, and said, "Thank you all for coming to the banquet celebrating the Imperial Capital’s Tianyuan Group branch establishment. I am Zhou Yu, one of the people in charge of Tianyuan Group. You can find me for any important business in the future. If President Huo doesn’t agree, I’ll make the connections for you."

"Alright!"

People below responded loudly.

"Next, let’s have our President Huo speak."

He handed the microphone to Huo Xingzhou. With clear and handsome brows, Huo Xingzhou’s voice was low and carried an undeniable coolness.

"I’ll skip the pleasantries. The Imperial Capital branch and the headquarters have the same business scope. But tonight, we’re not talking business, only celebrating."

Zhou Yu quickly patted his chest and shouted, "Business issues, come to me! Discuss with me! Our President Huo is strictly managed at home!"

As soon as he spoke, he received a sharp glance from Huo Xingzhou.

And laughter from the audience.

Qiao Xi’s ears turned red, a subtle embarrassment flashing in her bright, clear eyes. Huo Xingzhou reached out, taking her hand and leading her down the steps.

Huo Xingzhou said in a low voice, "I’ll deal with him later."

"No need."

Qiao Xi’s voice was soft and gentle. She looked at those around them whose eyes were fixed brightly on Huo Xingzhou and said, "You should go socialize. There are bodyguards in this hall, and Old Chen is with me. No one would be senseless enough to harm me."

At most, some bickering.

"Okay."

Huo Xingzhou glanced around, the place was heavily guarded.

Old Chen also stayed not far from Qiao Xi, ever vigilant.

Though there were many people, nothing major would happen.

Zhou Yu hurriedly grabbed Huo Xingzhou: "Sister-in-law, I’ll borrow him for a bit! The foreign businessman you wanted to contact, I’ve already found a way for you. Come over..."

"You all just go ahead and get busy."

Qiao Xi said, lifting her skirt, standing in place.

She should manage on her own now.

Once Huo Xingzhou left, many wealthy ladies and young women gathered around Qiao Xi, all inquiring about the Jade Skin Ointment.

Ye Ying went to the beauty salon every day; although her scars hadn’t disappeared, they had visibly faded.

What does this indicate!

The Jade Skin Ointment has miraculous effects!

Many were initially attracted by the Beauty Cream from the opposite Yingyue Pavilion, but time reveals the truth!

Comparing the two, you get what you pay for!

Pricey for a reason, no wonder it’s limited!

The whitening effect of the Jade Skin Ointment is also much better than the Beauty Cream, and the skin maintained with Jade Skin Ointment over the long term is lustrous and radiant, with a pinkish glow beneath the white.

Whereas the Beauty Cream simply provides whitening, the difference is stark when compared side by side.

"Young Madam Huo, how long will the purchase limitation at the beauty salon last? We’re all lining up for the Jade Skin Ointment project."

Qiao Xi’s voice was gentle and slow: "It’ll take some time; we can’t currently meet the supply. But since you’re already in line, you’ll definitely get a turn."

"We understand, good things are just this popular!"

"Indeed! Fortunately, I believed in Jade Skin Ointment’s effects from the start and have been renewing my package. I still have two or three sessions left."

"Young Madam Huo, you’re really impressive. I heard you’ll be attending the free clinic at the end of the month?"

Qiao Xi nodded: "Yes, the association scheduled me to attend the free clinic at the end of the month, still at the large plaza."

"Then we must come to support!"

Qiao Xi was somewhat helpless, her smile gentle: "Please, leave this opportunity to those who need it more."

"There’s a rumor outside that you and Miss Lu will compete on stage, to settle the regret from the Needle Trial Conference. Is it true?"

Qiao Xi hadn’t expected the news to spread so quickly; she gently said, "It’s not really a competition, just a professional exchange."

The free clinic isn’t a competition either.

It just involves treating people with less favorable conditions.

But if the Lu Family insists on competing, something big might happen during the free clinic!

"Miss Lu also came today, and I noticed she’s been quite displeased recently. Young Master Zhong is keeping someone like Ye Ying, and her face is ruined. Originally, we thought she’d win the Needle Trial Conference, but didn’t expect... Young Madam Huo, there’s talk that you and she don’t get along, is that true?"

Several wealthy women stared at her, eager to hear how she would respond.

Qiao Xi’s eyes held a faint smile, her fingers gently twirling her skirt’s edge, she said, "Yes, it’s true."

They didn’t expect Qiao Xi to be so frank, immediately unsure what to say to break the awkward atmosphere.

It was Qiao Xi who noticed their discomfort and with a hint of apology said, "I have to go to the restroom, excuse me."

She lifted her skirt with one hand and gently walked towards the restroom outside the banquet hall, holding a small Chanel shell bag with the other.

Seeing this, Lu Yingxue followed.

Entering the sky garden through a side door, then twisting into another side restroom.

In a splendid yet secluded corridor.

Lu Yingxue called out.

"Qiao Xi."

Qiao Xi turned to look at her, her curled long lashes fluttered slightly: "What’s up?"

On her own territory, she didn’t need to worry about Lu Yingxue’s revenge.

Lu Yingxue approached in high heels, eyeing her coldly: "I hear people say that I’m inferior to you in every way, you must be pleased?"

Her current downfall is entirely Qiao Xi’s doing!

Without that Needle Trial Conference, she’d still be the most dazzling woman in the Imperial Capital. Despite Guan Jingtan’s beauty, she would just be a vase!

In the Imperial Capital, the wind and rain were at her command!

Yet, a nemesis appeared.

"What is there for me to be pleased about?"

"Qiao Xi, you’re pleased because you took the top spot and got the vice president position. So many seniors have to subordinate themselves to you. You’re pleased about my defeat, which allows you to have a laugh."

Qiao Xi, having learned from Huo Xingzhou how to be sharp-tongued, said, "You certainly are a joke."

Lu Yingxue looked at her coldly: "This lifetime isn’t over yet. I have plenty of chances to bring you down. I know you want to abolish the North-South Division rule, but as long as my father and I are in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, you won’t succeed."

Qiao Xi slowly blinked, and when she looked up at her again, her gaze was icy.

"You didn’t want me to take away Cheng Qingnian, but I did."

"You and your father considered the top spot to be in the bag, but I accomplished that too."

"Lu Yingxue, you’re right. A lifetime is long, how do you know I won’t accomplish it again?"

Lu Yingxue’s face turned livid, "Qiao Xi, if you knew what’s going to happen tonight..." She stopped halfway.

She couldn’t slip up and disrupt Zhong Lingxiao’s plan.

Qiao Xi eyed her closely: "What is happening tonight?"

"None of your business, I just have one last question. You really won’t give me Jade Skin Ointment?"

"No."

"Qiao Xi, I’m waiting for you to regret it. You ruined one side of my face, and I’ll pay it back with your life."

Qiao Xi let out a sneer; Lu Yingxue seemed to have forgotten who actually ruined her face.

The mad woman!

She sidestepped her and walked into the restroom, slamming the door shut.

She placed her small purse on the washbasin and took out a tissue to lightly wipe off the overly bright lipstick from her lips.

The phone in her bag buzzed incessantly.

Like a death harbinger.

Qiao Xi focused and answered the call, her face growing cold.
