Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Chapter 84 Annual Meeting, Ju Jingyi's Little Cleverness

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

Ju Jingyi's expression changed instantly. Although her smile was slightly stiff, she still tried her best to maintain it.

As an idol, she constantly reminded herself not to get angry, not to get angry, and to always keep a smile on her face.

After saying that, she quickly reached for a tissue from the wall, hurriedly wiped her hands, and then turned and left quickly.

As Shen Ci watched her departing figure, he couldn't help but find the scene quite amusing.

The moment Ju Jingyi turned around, the smile on her face immediately vanished.

She bit her lower lip tightly, silently cursing the man who had asked the question a hundred times in her heart.

Just then, Shen Ci's phone vibrated; it was a message from Sister Xia.

"I'm here, where are you?"

"Toilet, I'm coming right now!"

After replying, Shen Ci put away his phone and walked outside.

By this time, most of the employees at the annual meeting had arrived, and the noise surged in like a tide, becoming increasingly chaotic.

The appearance of the blind woman attracted the attention of the employees, and gradually, the cheers grew louder and louder.

"Blind teacher!!!"

"Shishi, Longkui is so beautiful!"

Although Tencent Video frequently interacts with celebrities, it is mostly limited to senior management, some middle management, and directors.

Ordinary employees work at the company every day, even if what they do might be related to certain celebrities.

However, it is also a rare opportunity to see the celebrity in person.

Today, Sister Xia did not wear a glamorous gown, but chose a simple everyday outfit.

She carefully styled her hair into a bun, revealing her smooth forehead.

She exudes a gentle, dignified, and elegant aura.

With a smile on her face, Sister Xia waved gracefully as she walked, responding warmly to the employees who called out to her.

Lin Xin stayed by her side the whole time, following her attentively.

The two arrived at the front row, and Sun Huaizhong and the others quickly noticed them.

When Shen Ci told Sun Huaizhong that Sister Xia would be attending the annual meeting, Sun Huaizhong didn't think much of it.

However, at this moment, seeing Shen Ci's secretary, Lin Xin, actually going to greet Sister Xia...

This made Sun Huaizhong feel a little doubtful.

Does the "Crown Prince" have a preference for mature women?

I've never heard of this before!!!

Despite his many questions, Sun Huaizhong smiled and stood up to greet Sister Xia.

Seeing this, Wang Juan and others followed suit.

The blind woman responded politely to everyone, her gaze falling on the chair with her name on it.

She was about to sit down when she saw Shen Ci walking towards her.

Shen Ci saw Sister Xia's hairstyle from afar, and it made him feel a little itchy.

"Mr. Shen..."

"Mr. Shen, have you gone backstage to check?"

When some of the higher-ups saw Shen Ci approaching, they all asked him questions.

"Not yet," Shen Ci shook his head, looked at Han Zijie who was closest to him, and asked, "Did you just come back from backstage?"

Han Zijie nodded in response, "I just greeted the guests backstage."

The blind woman standing nearby overheard their conversation and already understood the gist of it.

"Okay, I'll go say hello first."

These performing guests were all personally selected by Shen Ci, so it's time to go backstage and "greet them".

He didn't forget Sister Xia either, turning to look at her and saying, "Lin Xin will stay with you; I'll go backstage first."

"Hmm..." Noticing the gazes around her, the blind woman felt uneasy and unconsciously softened her voice, "Go ahead."

Shen Ci said no more and turned to leave.

Han Zijie quickly got up and followed, thinking of introducing Shen Ci to the backstage situation.

Sister Xia sat down, straightened her back, and struck a standard star pose.

However, my heart was in turmoil.

How will high-ranking officials like Sun Huaizhong view themselves?

Will they think of the old man and themselves?

Will she start to doubt her relationship with Shen Ci?

The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. She couldn't help but blame Shen Ci for tricking her into coming here.

At this moment, Shen Ci, with a cigarette handed to him by Han Zijie between his fingers, returned to the backstage area.

As Han Zijie led the way, he said, "President Shen, those girls from the Korean girl group, I must say, they are really beautiful, and their figures are quite good too."

As they were talking, Shen Ci suddenly stopped, and Han Zijie subconsciously followed his gaze to look ahead.

Ahead, Song Qian was shaking the water off her hands, apparently having just come out of the restroom.

"President Han?"

Song Qian also spotted Shen Ci and Han Zijie. Shen Ci's handsome face made her momentarily unable to recognize who he was.

But she recognized Han Zijie!

When Sun Huaizhong and other senior executives came backstage to greet the guests, she saw Han Zijie and shook hands with him.

Upon seeing this, Han Zijie immediately introduced, "Teacher Song, this is our General Manager Shen!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qian gasped, wondering what kind of background this person had and how they could be so young.

She reacted quickly and greeted him proactively, "Hello, Mr. Shen, I'm Song Qian from F."

As she spoke, she generously extended her hand.

"Hello." Shen Ci shook hands with her and then let go.

After the two had greeted each other, Han Zijie said, "Our CEO Shen would like to see all the guests. Would it be convenient for Teacher Song to come along?"

Song Qian nodded without refusing, since she was going back to the lounge anyway, and it was on her way.

The lounge was large, and several girl groups were gathered there.

Several K-pop groups naturally gathered together to chat, while SNH48 was on the other side.

An invisible gap seemed to have formed between the two sides.

The door to the lounge opened slightly, and Song Qian went in first, followed by Han Zijie, and finally Shen Ci entered.

AOA's Kim Seolhyun spotted them first.

Upon seeing Shen Ci, she couldn't help but nudge her teammate beside her with her elbow.

Her teammates looked in the direction she indicated, and instantly, all the girl group members' eyes were focused on Shen Ci.

SNH48 also noticed the commotion. When Ju Jingyi saw Shen Ci's familiar face, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"This is our General Manager Shen!!"

Han Zijie raised his voice to explain. To ensure the members of the girl group understood, Song Qian acted as a translator.

Upon hearing this, the girl group members bowed to Shen Ci.

Shen Ci felt a little helpless and thought to himself, "Why bother bowing? A handshake would be much more practical."

The last to greet them were Red Velvet, and Shen Ci's gaze fell on the short leader, Bae Joo-beom...

I couldn't help but admire her beauty.

After greeting the Korean groups, it was SNH48's turn.

As fellow Chinese, the members of SNH48 enthusiastically called out "President Shen" and took the initiative to shake hands with Shen Ci.

Especially Ju Jingyi, who pretended not to know him, her expression and actions when shaking hands were quite funny.

After exchanging greetings, there wasn't much else to talk about, so Shen Ci and Han Zijie left the backstage together.

"Oh my, is this the son of a tycoon?"

Among several K-pop groups, one of the members suddenly uttered this remark, and everyone's eyes turned to Song Qian.

Song Qian was completely baffled; how could she possibly know?!

SNH48 members were also discussing Shen Ci enthusiastically; they had indeed never seen such a young executive from a large company before!

"He's so handsome! It's such a shame I didn't get his contact information."

"Hey, let's ask for their contact information after the performance, shall we?"

"Hahaha, okay."

"Don't you guys think this Mr. Shen is much more handsome than Principal Wang?"

"Of course, but I don't know if we'll have the money."

"Pfft, she's definitely rich. Even if she doesn't have as much as Principal Wang, her looks alone completely blow him away!"

He does not mean that.

Hearing the members' discussion, Ju Jingyi couldn't help but have a wicked idea.

She quietly took out her phone from her bag, opened WeChat, and found many new messages, but she hadn't had time to check them.

Most of them were sent by Principal Wang, who "harassed" her on WeChat every day.

"I went to get an IV drip today. What kind of IV drip was it? Thinking of you tonight."

Upon seeing Principal Wang's latest message, Ju Jingyi felt nauseous and almost vomited.

She didn't originally have Principal Wang's contact information, and she didn't know which idiot member gave her WeChat to Principal Wang.

She only found out who the other person was after adding them as a friend, and she wanted to delete them, but she was a little afraid.

After all, the label of "son of the richest man" still made her somewhat wary.

Left with no other option, she could only ignore Wang Sicong's messages, pretending not to see them, and never replied to any of them.

At this moment, Ju Jingyi hesitated for a moment, but still opened Principal Wang's WeChat chat box and sent this message.

"Do you know Mr. Shen from Tencent Video?"

Within ten seconds, Principal Wang replied.

"What is it? Why should I know about it?"

Ju Jingyi: "Oh, he's so handsome and rich."

Principal Wang: "Are you fucking blind?!"

Upon seeing this reply, Ju Jingyi stopped responding to Principal Wang.

She did it on purpose, thinking that this way, perhaps this idiot would stop contacting her.

Furthermore, she was extremely disgusted by Shen Ci's somewhat impolite question at the sink.

After returning to the annual meeting, Shen Ci sat down in his seat, next to Xia Jie.

"Aren't you afraid of being photographed and having the photos uploaded online?"

The blind woman was filled with helplessness. This little brat was too bold, insisting on sitting next to her in such a public place.

No wonder she was wondering why the chair next to her was empty and didn't have a name tag on it.

"Why be afraid?" Shen Ci looked at Blind Sister with a puzzled expression.

Seeing his reaction, Sister Xia had no choice but to straighten her head and turn her gaze toward the stage.

With so many people around, she was terrified of being photographed looking into Shen Ci's eyes...

That would be incredibly embarrassing!

Seeing this, Shen Ci thought that this blind woman was too timid.

"How are those girl groups backstage? Aren't they pretty?" Sister Xia suddenly asked, as if trying to change the subject.

Shen Ci said jokingly, "Not as good-looking as you."

Upon hearing this, Sister Xia secretly glanced at the people next to her. Seeing that none of them were looking in her direction, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She cautiously moved closer to Shen Ci and whispered, "Keep your voice down!!!"

After speaking, he quickly returned to his normal sitting posture.

Shen Ci shrugged helplessly and stopped talking.

Just then, the stage lights suddenly came on, and a male and female host made their grand entrance.

In an instant, screams erupted from the audience, followed by thunderous applause.

Shen Ci clapped along with everyone else, and the blind woman next to him also clapped.
