However, Gu Yuanzhou was a man who had seen much of the world, the surprise in his eyes quickly flickered and passed.
His face returning to calmness.
His gaze as profound as ever.
“President Gu! Sorry, I’m late!”
He nodded slightly, his gaze still lingering on me.
That look…l remember it.
It was how he looked at me when I first met him at age eighteen.
“Not late! Just on time!”
In the distance, a few women were pointing and gossiping about me. Though their voices were low, I could still hear a few words.
“Such a sexy figure!”
“Her arms, her waist are so thin, and her chest so large, it’s disproportionate; has she had plastic surgery?”
“Such a perky bottom, is it padded?”
I slightly curled up the corners of my lips.
Feigning deafness to their gossip, I just raised my chin slightly.
Song Xiaoyun was actually that kind of gem of a woman. She had a great figure, fair skin, and her eyes were extraordinarily beautiful, upturned in the corners. With just a bit of makeup, she looked seductive.
It’s just that Xiaoyun usually dressed too casually, always in hoodies and wide pants, completely hiding her figure.
On top of that, she usually wore thick black-rimmed glasses and failed to display any of her feminine beauty.
So as a first step, I took off those geeky glasses and replaced them with contact lenses.
Then, I picked a black silk bare-back waist cinching evening gown.
A figure-hugging outfit coupled with seductive makeup.
1 knew this was a woman’s winning tool in the workplace.
The more these women were jealous, the more I realized that I was at least halfway to success.
1 had caught not only the attention of other men, but it seemed that 1 had also won their notice.
Gu Yuanzhou seemed to hide it well.
Other than the initial shock when meeting me, at other times, even when he introduced me to others as he held my hand, he remained calm, his gaze decorous, not once allowing it to linger on my body like other men’s gazes did.
I asked Gu Yuanzhou,
“President Gu, do you think my outfit tonight is appropriate?”
Unperturbed, Gu Yuanzhou responded,
“Not quite right!’
“But doesn’t this make it easier to secure our business deal?”
Gu Yuanzhou did not respond.
When the dance started, successful gentlemen from time to time invited me to dance.
I mostly accepted these invitations as a courtesy.
A dance didn’t cost me anything.
Besides, all of these business elites present here could be of great help to the big venture that I plan to initiate in the future.
I remembered when I first graduated from college and even for a long time after marrying Gu Yuanzhou,
I was always reluctant to engage with these wealthy men.
But after a near death experience, I saw things in a different light.
A woman’s beauty, if used well, can serve as a stepping stone to advancement and a key to opening special doors.
Of course, it needs to be used appropriately without compromising one’s body and soul.
As I was spinning on the dance floor,
I caught sight of Gu Yuanzhou solo, sitting in a corner, drinking his red wine.
In reality, Gu Yuanzhou stood out from the crowd of men tonight. From time to time, women would come over and ask him to dance, but he always declined.
He seemed like a shadow, quietly savoring solitude.
Only occasionally, would he glance my way.
Our eyes met, and he was steely.
When he looked at me, there was no hint of desire in his eyes, instead, he seemed a bit bewildered.
After that dance, I approached him,
“President Gu, do me the honor of a dance!”
If I was dancing with other men, it was for some business purpose.
However, inviting him to dance held no significance.
