Mu Lan couldn’t be bothered with talking to this fool. At this point, she spotted a well-known director coming in her direction and decided to get acquainted. Unexpectedly Bei Rongrong acted in a flash, reaching out to yank Mu Lan to the back. Pushing herself forward, she simpered, “How do you do, Director Qin.”

The b*tch!

Mu Lan felt herself choking with anger, but she didn’t want to be caught in an argument with Bei Rongrong lest it turned out looking ugly.

Unexpectedly, Director Qin completely ignored Bei Rongrong’s attempt to boot-lick. His eyes scanned the room as though searching, then they suddenly lit up when he spotted Mu Lan’s silhouette. “Miss Mu!”

Mu Lan turned and looked all around herself to verify that she was the only “Miss Mu” there. Then she asked hesitantly, “Director Qin did you just call out to me?”

Smiling broadly, Director Qin walked over to her and said, “CEO Luo has asked me to take you to her, she wants to introduce a few people. Come with me.”

Mu Lan, “!!!”

…Sending a well-known director to come for her, Daddy Luo, you’re too much!!

But Mu Lan had to admit, that felt really good. She stood straight and happily left with Director Qin in the midst of envious stares from Bei Rongrong and her clique.

The big bosses were gathered in an obviously more classy and quiet room. The moment she entered, she spotted Luo Qiao, who was chatting with the bosses in a true-blue female CEO style.

Luo Qiao spotted her and waved her over.

“Come here, Mu Lan. Let me introduce you, this is the boss of Fengying Media.”

My god. Mu Lan tried to look calm even though she was nervous. As Luo Qiao introduced these big investors, she shook their hands with profound respect and trepidation.

How should one put it… Mu Lan had never seen investors smiling this kindly…

When she finally had the rare opportunity to pull Luo Qiao aside, she was already perspiring profusely. “My great ancestor, what on earth are you trying to do?”

Had this woman gone mad?!

After sipping a glass of wine, Luo Qiao only responded casually, “I want to raise your profile.”

Mu Lan, “…!!!”

Between the great joy and immense fear of being crushed by this piece of pie that seemed to have fallen out of the sky all of a sudden, Mu Lan took a moment to calm herself. Then she said, “Please do so with all your might.”

She didn’t wish to be pitied like a delicate little flower.

Halfway through the banquet, a female celebrity in a body-hugging gown approached the two of them. She looked hesitant as she said, “CEO Luo… how do you do.”

Luo Qiao gave Mu Lan a puzzled look. Mu Lan leaned towards her and whispered, “She’s Zhang Lingling, I’ve previously mentioned her as the very first celebrity to have posted insults to you on Weibo following that matter. But now she boot-licks you on the internet.”

Ah. Luo Qiao understood at once. She had heard of the girl’s name but had never met her.

“What’s up?”

Zhang Lingling was teary-eyed as she came up to them. “CEO Luo, I’m very sorry for having said those things about you on Weibo. I was wrong and I hope that you will be magnanimous and not pursue this with me.”

“Not pursue this… meaning?”

Looking delicately pitiful, Zhang Lingling said, “I have a collaboration with Eastern Vision Media, and do not wish to lose this opportunity because of my foolish choice of words. I know that CEO Luo is not a petty person, I hope for your forgiveness for what I have done.”

Hearing this, Luo Qiao raised an eyebrow. “So based on what you’re saying… I’d be a petty person if I pursued the matter?”

“N-No, no, no, that’s not what I meant!” Zhang Lingling looked up and gritted her teeth. She gave herself a slap and said, “I’m not good with words, please don’t be angry, CEO Luo.”

Her gesture came as a surprise to Luo Qiao and Mu Lan. They exchanged a glance, feeling that this was uncalled for. Furrowing her brows, Luo Qiao said, “Regarding this matter, there is someone in charge, there is no need to approach me.”
