Chapter 142

The place they were dropped off was not too far from the venue of the sponsors’ meeting. Nan Zhi and Xia Xi decided to walk instead of hailing another taxi.

On the way, Xia Xi continued to curse Bai Weiwei.

Hearing her colorful insults, Nan Zhi did not think that she was in the wrong, especially since Xia Xi seemed to be on her side. Still, she asked, “Xiao Xi, do you think I’m ruthless?”

Xia Xi shook her head firmly. “You’ve already showed extra mercy by only pouring a little of whatever toxic thing was in that water for Bai Weiwei. If you didn’t notice that something was wrong and drank the entire cup of water, f**k! Your throat would be completely ruined.”

With a ruined throat, not only would there be problems in her everyday life, she would never become an anchorwoman.

Although the situation had improved a lot in society now, a mute person would still be discriminated by people outside.

If her mental strength was weaker and could not accept having a ruined throat, she might even choose to commit suicide.

Just the thought of it was scary for Xia Xi.

Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows. “Why would Bai Weiwei do this? She has the support of her financier at the sponsors’ meeting. I’m not a threat for her either…” Could it be… was she instigated by Nan Yao?

“Wow! He’s so handsome!”

Nan Zhi, who was deep in thought, was surprised by Xia Xi’s exaggerated exclamation. She blinked and followed Xia Xi’s gaze which was directed towards the car park of the convention center.

There were a few Rolls-Royce Phantoms parked in a row. With the luxurious cars lined up in such a fashion, it was an amazing spectacle and a crowd had gathered in front, forming a grand entrance

More than ten well-trained bodyguards dressed in black got off the car and stood in two uniform rows. The door of the centermost Phantom was opened. Several men dressed in suits got off one by one.

Nan Zhi’s gaze landed on the man leading in front.

He was wearing a hand-tailored black suit with a long coat over his broad shoulders. The perfectly ironed suit pants wrapped perfectly over his long legs. With one hand in his pants’ pocket, his body was slender and tall as he stood straight and formidable amongst the entourage.

Under his black and neat short hair, his handsome face seemed like the masterpiece of the heavens. His facial features were deep, like they had been carved out from the finest marble. He looked unbelievably perfect.

Nan Zhi saw the pair walking towards them. She pulled on Xia Xi’s hand, who was still fixated on the striking pair and said softly, “Let’s go in!”

Nan Zhi was not surprised that Mu Sihan has appeared. The person who had called him that night had asked him to be an exclusive sponsor.

Ignoring the crowd, Nan Zhi pulled Xia Xi into the main lobby. The sponsors’ meeting was held on the third floor. The two of them stopped in front of the elevators to wait.

Not too long after, Lin Wanyue’s sultry voice trailed from behind them. “Young Master Mu, Young Master Lan, you’ve arrived.”

Xia Xi leaned into Nan Zhi’s ear to gossip when she heard Lin Wanyue’s suggestive voice. “Given Lin Wanyue’s experience, it doesn’t make sense for her to be the top female host in the broadcasting company. I heard before that she has some very strong backing from above. I always thought she had an ambiguous relationship with the head of our broadcasting company. Looking at her today, perhaps her backstage supporter might be that super cool and handsome Young Master Mu!”
