"There's a networking dinner for the beauty industry in the Magic City this Friday evening. Want to go?" In the office, Su Qianmo placed a white invitation with gold trim on the desk in front of Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan opened the invitation and looked at it. The companies listed on the invitation covered almost all the beauty companies in the Magic City.
"Sure, let's go. If they specifically invited us, we should attend."
Su Qianmo nodded, her gaze lingering on Gu Chenan's casual attire for a moment before saying, "If we're going, you'll need to change your clothes. Something like what you used to wear in the novel world."
"Hm?" Gu Chenan was taken aback. "I have to go too?"
"You're not going?" Su Qianmo asked in return.
Gu Chenan shrugged and said, "I don't know anything about business. You're the CEO of Caiying now, so it's better if you go, right?"
Su Qianmo pursed her lips, seemingly lost in thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Of course I'm going, but you have to come with me."
"Huh? Why?" Gu Chenan couldn't understand the purpose of this.
Now, both within the company and in the outside world, everyone believed that the CEO of Caiying was the person who had bought the company. Whether he went or not didn't seem to matter.
"No reason, you just have to go," Su Qianmo said in a commanding tone. Realizing her mistake almost immediately, she quickly added, "Chenan, you're the real owner of Caiying. It's better to attend these events than not, right?"
Hearing this, Gu Chenan saw the logic and nodded, "Alright then, I'll go."
...
Friday arrived quickly.
Later in the afternoon, Gu Chenan changed his clothes and came to Su Qianmo's office.
Looking at Gu Chenan now, Su Qianmo felt as if she had returned to the novel world for a moment.
Gu Chenan's good looks didn't need to be emphasized; even in casual clothes, he was very handsome. Now that he had changed into a high-end black suit, the devastatingly handsome young master of the Gu family had returned.
"Not bad, right?" Gu Chenan adjusted his cuffs and smiled at Su Qianmo, who was already dressed in a pure white form-fitting evening gown.
Su Qianmo stepped forward and gently adjusted Gu Chenan's tie, a beautiful smile blooming on her face. "You look very handsome."
Gu Chenan put his hand around Su Qianmo's slender waist and said, "You look beautiful too."
After a brief pause, they set off for the Dragon Power Hotel.
As the car drove through the colorful neon lights of the Magic City, Su Qianmo sat in the back seat, one hand propping up her chin as she looked at the night scenery through the window.
"This night view is so familiar, it's uncannily similar to Donghai."
Gu Chenan, who was driving, glanced out the window and smiled, "Donghai in the novel world was modeled after the Magic City, so it's normal for the scenery to look similar."
Su Qianmo nodded and turned back, saying, "It's about time we hired a driver for you, isn't it? How can a company owner attend a dinner party and drive himself?"
Gu Chenan shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter either way. But we should buy you a car. How can the CEO of Caiying not have her own car?"
...
Half an hour later, a majestic hotel appeared before them.
On top of the hotel, huge spotlights swayed constantly, shooting beams of light into the night sky of the Magic City.
Next to the spotlights, four enormous golden characters spelling out "Dragon Power Hotel" emitted a noble glow.
A red carpet stretched from the hotel entrance all the way to the front door.
"This is it."
Gu Chenan slowed the car, driving slowly along the red carpet to the main entrance.
A young man in a white shirt jogged over to open the car door for Su Qianmo.
The moment the young man saw Su Qianmo's stunningly beautiful face, a flash of shock shot through his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Good evening, miss."
Su Qianmo didn't waste words, holding out the invitation between two slender fingers to the young man. "Caiying, Su Qianmo."
"This way, please, miss."
"There's one more person," Su Qianmo said, turning back.
Gu Chenan opened the car door and walked over, handing the car keys to the young man. "Please park the car for me, thank you."
The young man was stunned, blinking as he looked at Gu Chenan and then at Su Qianmo, utterly confused.
What's going on?
Isn't this man the driver?
Why is he going in too?
Maybe he's not?
But if he's not, why was he driving for this lady?
The young man couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just nodded and said, "Certainly, sir."
Another young man immediately made a "please" gesture and said, "This way, please, sir and madam."
...
In the banquet hall.
Under the yellow-based lighting, numerous elegantly dressed men and women stood holding cocktails.
Soft, soothing music played in the background as groups of three to five people gathered to discuss industry gossip or exchange business insights.
"The CEO of Caiying has arrived!" someone rushed in to announce.
"She's here? Where?"
"Is Caiying's CEO a man or a woman?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and curiously tried to catch a glimpse.
The person pointed downstairs and said, "I saw a beautiful woman when I was coming up. I think she's the CEO of Caiying!"
"So Caiying's CEO is a woman!"
"Has she arrived? Where is she?"
The person nodded and said, "She'll be up soon. I saw her just getting out of the car when I came in."
"Did Caiying's CEO come alone? Didn't she bring any company managers?"
"I only saw her and her driver. I think she came alone," the person said.
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
"Caiying's CEO is really gutsy, coming alone to her first networking dinner."
"No wonder Caiying was able to transform from a nearly bankrupt company to the most famous beauty company in the Magic City in just a few days."
"Get ready to welcome Caiying's CEO!"
Among the crowd, Liu Wan, dressed in a purple evening gown, swirled the wine in her glass, her eyes expectantly fixed on the banquet hall doors.
She greatly admired Caiying's CEO. How intelligent and courageous must one be to turn the tables in such adverse circumstances?
Moreover, the fact that Caiying's CEO was a woman made her a complete embodiment of a powerful career woman!
It wasn't just Liu Wan who admired her; everyone in the banquet hall now held Su Qianmo in the highest regard.
Today's dinner, though called a networking event, was more like a gathering orchestrated by the entire beauty industry of the Magic City to meet Su Qianmo.
...
Following the young man's lead, Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo took the elevator to the top floor of the hotel where the banquet hall was located.
"Please come in, sir and madam."
The young man opened the doors to the banquet hall for Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo.
As the doors opened, everyone in the hall turned expectant gazes towards them.
The moment they saw Su Qianmo, countless eyebrows raised in surprise, unable to contain their astonishment.
Su Qianmo was like a perfect goddess, exuding an aura of both divinity and elegance.
Combined with her figure and appearance, she completely stunned the crowd.
Caiying's female CEO was actually this beautiful?!
Capable and gorgeous – the perfect woman!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?

A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
