Ye Die spent nearly twenty minutes giving her report. As she stepped down, every stride she took was filled with pride.
The top ten enterprises were all seated in the front row.
As Ye Die passed by Tang Xiaomin, she provocatively challenged her in full view of everyone.
She first glanced at Yan Jue, then disdainfully appraised Tang Xiaomin.
"Everyone here is a business elite. Do you think your status is worthy of sitting in this seat?"
"Tang Xiaomin, no matter how expensive a gown you wear, in the eyes of the gentlemen present, you are just a plaything, someone who can be had for a bit of money..."
*Slap!*
A crisp sound of a slap echoed.
"Ah..."
Everyone was shocked!
She actually... slapped Ye Die in plain sight!
This was too daring!
"Tang Xiaomin!!!"
Ye Die cursed venomously and retaliated without restraint.
Yan Jue stood up and delivered a fierce kick.
Ye Die immediately fell to the ground, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at them.
Yan Jue was a man, and he had hit a woman!
He had hit a woman in front of so many men!
*Whoosh.*
A dozen bodyguards in black suddenly appeared around Ye Die, their menacing gazes fixed on Yan Jue and Tang Xiaomin.
At this moment, the event organizer and security personnel also arrived.
The atmosphere immediately tensed.
Ye Die, relying on her status as Ye Fengxing's sister, looked down on everyone wherever she went. Her mouth was sharp, and she never spared anyone, showing no regard for them.
She had initially thought that Tang Xiaomin, a mere "vase" with inferior background and assets compared to her, would have no choice but to endure any harsh words.
Who would have thought that this "troublemaker" from Modu was not to be trifled with either and refused to tolerate Ye Die's arrogance.
Most people felt that she had been arrogant on stage and looked down on others, so she deserved a mixed double slap from both the man and the woman.
Well done!
The organizer stood in the middle, repeatedly uttering polite words.
"Everyone here is a person of standing. Let's talk things out calmly. Don't be impulsive... don't be impulsive..."
Tang Xiaomin cleared her throat and suddenly said loudly, "Ye Die, if you dare to provoke me again, I will kill you!"
This...
When Tang Xiaomin uttered such venomous words, the people present first felt their scalps tingle.
Then, they felt helpless.
Young people these days were too impulsive. Such harsh words should be kept to oneself.
Yan Jue cast a look of both disgust and coldness at Ye Die, who was being helped up.
He suddenly felt that he hadn't done enough, otherwise, why would Tang Xiaomin be called a vase, his "plaything."
Shouldn't he do something to prevent similar incidents?
"Everyone, let's talk calmly. Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive..."
Under the organizer's "mediation," Tang Xiaomin and Yan Jue returned to their seats.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Ye Die wanted to say something more, but Nangong Shanshan came to her side and advised, "Ye Die, with so many people watching, it's not good to continue this. Let's stop here."
Nangong Shanshan whispered in Ye Die's ear, "Tang Xiaomin has already uttered a death threat, and everyone heard it. This plays right into your hands. For now, bear with it and feign weakness, so you can catch Tang Xiaomin off guard and deliver a fatal blow."
Ye Die had indeed intended to deliberately provoke Tang Xiaomin. Earlier, outside the door, she had said such things to Tang Xiaomin, yet Tang Xiaomin hadn't gotten angry.
Therefore, she had spoken even more harshly.
She hadn't expected Tang Xiaomin to be so impatient.
She was just a vase with strength but no brains.
Let's see how she would send her to eternal damnation.
...
The small incident came and went quickly.
"Minmin, why were you so violent today? This isn't like you."
What was more, she not only slapped someone but also shouted threats in front of so many people. It was truly strange.
Tang Xiaomin said, "Your kick was also very violent. You kicked Ye Die's heart to pieces. She's a woman, and you even hit a woman."
Yan Jue shrugged, looking unconcerned.
"Someone like Ye Die doesn't count as a woman. At most, she's a... shrew."
*Pfft...*
The word "shrew" coming from Yan Jue's mouth struck Tang Xiaomin's funny bone.
His mouth was truly venomous.
Not long after, it was time for the representative from Xianfu Group to take the stage to speak.
Tang Xiaomin had prepared a beautiful speech for Yan Jue. He just needed to read it.
After Yan Jue stood up, he suddenly pulled Tang Xiaomin up and said seriously, "I'm not good at handling these occasions. It would be more appropriate for you to go."
"We agreed on this when we came. How can you back out now..."
Yan Jue ignored Tang Xiaomin's protests and pulled her towards the stage.
In front of everyone, Tang Xiaomin couldn't let them become a laughingstock, so she had to brace herself and go.
As she stepped onto the stairs, an accident occurred.
The hem of her gown was too long, and she accidentally stepped on it.
Oh no, she was going to be embarrassed again.
As she was caught in an awkward predicament, the hem behind her suddenly felt lighter.
Turning around, she saw Yan Jue, with a half-smile, holding up her skirt.
This...
He was the CEO of a conglomerate, and he was helping her hold her skirt in front of so many people.
She guessed that tomorrow's news would mock him with words like "simp" and the like.
She couldn't care anymore.
Tang Xiaomin gave a polite smile and continued walking towards the stage.
Just as she was about to speak, Yan Jue suddenly stepped forward.
"Hello everyone, I am Yan Jue from Xianfu. I'd like to take this opportunity to announce something to everyone."
"Tang Xiaomin is my girlfriend, and in the near future, she will be my wife. She is the chief mortician of Xianfu Group and also the boss of Xianfu Group, not some vase."
The entire hall was silent for a moment, and then enthusiastic applause erupted.
Although she didn't know why the people in the audience were applauding.
Amidst the applause, Yan Jue gave Tang Xiaomin a triumphant smile and walked off the stage.
Was he serious?
This was a business annual meeting, not a place for his declaration of love!
Tang Xiaomin's toes almost dug through the sole of her shoe.
In this awkward atmosphere, Tang Xiaomin was grateful that she had prepared a manuscript.
Otherwise, she would have been so embarrassed that she would have lost her ability to speak and would have made a fool of herself on stage again.
After reciting the manuscript in a conventional manner, Tang Xiaomin walked off the stage.
She went straight to the restroom.
As soon as she entered, a "closed for maintenance" sign was placed outside the restroom.
A short while later, Ye Die also walked in.
Tang Xiaomin, who was adjusting her hair in the mirror, suddenly saw Ye Die, and her expression immediately changed, giving her a bad premonition.
She didn't speak to Ye Die, but as she passed by, Ye Die grabbed her.
"Ye Die, what are you doing pulling me? I need to go out. Let go of me."
Ye Die looked at Tang Xiaomin with a smile, her grip tightening considerably.
