Chapter 788: 787. Where’s the promised black tea?

And when she realized why she was being so obedient, she was already back in the bedroom on the second floor.

"Did I really...???"

How did I reflexively comply like that? I must have been put under a Soul-Stealing Curse just now!

"Think of it as a thank you for the invitation cards he gave in advance, don’t be angry, don’t be angry..."

Luo Lin convinced herself word by word. She definitely wasn’t just being compliant due to his intimidating presence, definitely not!

Two minutes later, Jing Yu looked at the mini baby-blue jacket in her hand, taking it while giving her an indifferent glance.

Luo Lin: "..."

QAQ, she swore she could totally read the message "What kind of jacket is this?" in that look!

Being the agent of a little tyrant is truly exhausting——

***

The annual meeting hosted by Cloudscape Group was truly a grand affair, with the entire banquet hall floor of the Imperial City International Hotel taken up.

The hotel entrance on the first floor was now swarming with people, and even the perimeter was lined with photographers and reporters, most from major economic newspapers and websites.

When the company car arrived at the entrance, Jing Yu looked out the window at the dense sea of people and after a moment of silence, he said:

"Uncle Ning, drive to the underground parking garage."

The driver, Uncle Ning, paused in surprise, but after glancing at Tang Shu in the rearview mirror, he understood.

"Understood, President Jing."

So this was to avoid the crowd. Directly taking the elevator up could indeed avoid a lot of trouble, especially from reporters.

It’s said that President Jing treats Miss Tang too well, right? He takes her feelings into account in everything he does, epitomizing the ideal devoted boyfriend.

It wasn’t long before Uncle Ning drove the company car into the underground parking garage of the Imperial City International Hotel, parking it right underneath the banquet hall.

Jing Yu stepped out of the car first and extended a hand towards Tang Shu in the back seat.

"We’re here."

Guided by his hand, she stood beside the company car, and he tightened her sky-blue shirt and casually tied a knot. The originally oversized shirt was instantly cinched, complementing the purple long gown with cut-out patterns beneath it.

Of course, this also completely covered up the dress that was supposed to be a sexy highlight.

"..."

Tang Shu’s mouth twitched slightly, secretly relieved that Sister Luo wasn’t there at the moment, as she had gone to pick up a few artists from Starshine Media.

"Are we... going up together?"

After Jing Yu finished tying the knot on her shirt, his fingers hung naturally before precisely grasping her left hand.

"Yes, you are my dance partner tonight."

Hey, hey? Since when had she become his dance partner, when was there even an invitation?

Tang Shu was momentarily stunned upon hearing this; she thought she was just along for the ride since their residences were close by?!

Jing Yu rarely saw her in such a dazed state and chuckled softly, squeezing the hand he held a bit more firmly.

"Let’s go, don’t keep them waiting."

While she was still processing, Jing Yu led her toward the nearby elevator.

The two took the elevator from the basement floor directly to the 33rd floor of the Imperial City International Hotel, and as the doors opened with a "ding," they stepped into the banquet hall to be greeted by Jing Bei, who was also dressed in formal attire.

"President Jing, you’ve finally arrived... Huh? Shushu is here too!"

The young girl widened her eyes inquisitively, her gaze continuously sweeping back and forth between their... tightly clasped hands. Her smile grew wider and wider, barely concealing her eagerness for a good story in her eyes.

Feeling the weight of such a gaze, even Tang Shu couldn’t help but blush, sensing her body temperature rising.

Next to her, Jing Yu remained calm as always, his deep voice seemingly unaffected.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh! President Jing, President Shang of Guanglin Group is waiting for you in the next meeting room; he said there’s something to discuss."

Jing Yu nodded and turned to Tang Shu, "Wait here for me, I’ll be back soon."

"You’re busy, I can take a walk by myself."

"That’s fine," Jing Yu nodded, then turned to Jing Bei, who was waiting, "Arrange a resting room for Xiao Shu and brew a pot of black tea."

"Of course, President Jing, I’ll make sure it’s done!"

Jing Xiaobei grinned again, almost raising her hand to swear an oath.

As Jing Yu’s tall figure disappeared at the elevator entrance, Jing Xiaobei immediately let loose, whooping as she hugged Tang Shu tight.

"Xiao Shushu, I’m seeing you again! By the way, how come you’re here with my brother, what’s the situation... how far has it progressed?"

Tang Shu’s face was striped with black lines, and then her brain seemed to short-circuit.

"I don’t know... I guess it’s at the stage of sending flowers?"

Please forgive her; this was her first relationship in two lifetimes combined, and no one had taught her, had they?

Tang Shu swore, in Damo, the unwed men and women simply didn’t date; they just held banquets, drank, and enjoyed music, chess, calligraphy, and painting!

Jing Xiaobei, in her excitement, didn’t notice Tang Shu’s moment of confusion and directly pulled her to a luxurious rest room next to the meeting room.

"Xiao Shushu we haven’t seen each other in so long teary eyes~~ Anyway, the biggest event tonight is just eating and drinking. You wait here; I’ll go get some booze, and we’ll drink to our heart’s content!"

Tang Shu: "..."

What happened to the black tea?

***

As it turned out, before they could even finish a glass of red wine, Secretary Jing Xiaobei was called away by a colleague.

Bored, Tang Shu saw people talking in the Starshine Group chat, so she decided to visit the banquet hall. Before she found Jiang Yan and the others, she saw a group of people arguing in a corner, their voices carrying some familiarity.

"Lin Yucheng, you’ve already broken up with Tang Hao, why are you still clinging to him?!"

"Tsk—Bai Chingching, are you blind? It’s he who is clinging to me, not the other way around. I’d never give a man like that a second glance after I’ve let go!"

"What do you mean, ’you dropped him’? It was clearly Tang Hao who didn’t want you!"

Tang Shu: "..."

Oh dear, such melodrama.

She, a person from Damo, could sense the strong scent of drama.

The woman dressed in a white gown, Lin Yucheng, smirked coldly and picked up a glass of red wine from a waiter, tossing it onto the woman in the red dress.

"This is for you, along with this drink, wishing you and him a lifelong happiness, and may you have children soon."

"Lin Yucheng!"

Bai Chingching was livid, her carefully styled hair now drenched in red wine, and it was fortunate she wore a red dress, which made the situation slightly less embarrassing.

Lin Yucheng walked past them, exuding an older sister’s charisma. She hadn’t taken many steps before she saw Tang Shu.

"Miss Tang, you’re here too?"

The woman who had been expressionless a moment ago suddenly showed a look of surprise, her eyes shining and curving into a smile, her gaze filled with deep shock.

"I’m here for the annual event, Miss Lin, long time no see."
