290: Chapter 290: Stunning the Crowd!

The queen arrives?

Tang Xiao laughed lightly with a snort.

“Me, a queen?

Tonight’s stars are the real protagonists!”

Lifting her hand, Tang Xiao waved it in front of Wu Jie.

“How do you think my left hand looks?”

Wu Jie smiled and said, “It looks lovely!

Fair and delicate like jade, slender and graceful.

You could be a better hand model than Bai Fengling!”

Tang Xiao glanced at him sidelong and snorted, “Your EQ isn’t too high, is it?

Didn’t you notice something missing from my hand?”

Wu Jie was taken aback, then quickly caught on.

“Holy shit!

I totally forgot about that!

Just wait!”

After releasing her hand, Wu Jie hurriedly sifted through the luggage and took out their engagement rings.

Following the custom of men wearing rings on the left and women on the right, he placed the diamond ring on the index finger of Tang Xiao’s left hand.

With the addition of the diamond ring, the beautiful hand seemed even more attractive.

However…

As Wu Jie put the ring on, Tang Xiao, while admiring it, muttered:

“If I were to hit someone with the ring on, it should double the lethality—one punch, one bloody hole!”

“Come on!

How can you use a ring that symbolizes romantic love and marriage as a weapon!”

Amidst their jesting, Wu Jie at last took Tang Xiao by the hand and headed out.

“Did you bring your darts?

Just in case something happens at the event…”

“Who brings darts to this kind of occasion?

Even if something really happened, couldn’t I just use stuff from the table as weapons?”

“You do have a point, but even if Mu En goes crazy, I doubt she would cause trouble at the gala!”

“That’s not necessarily true!”

…

While they chatted casually, the elevator arrived, ready to take them downstairs.

The elevator doors opened slowly, already filled with quite a few people.

All were meticulously dressed, the men in suits and leather shoes, the women in heavy makeup and glamorous attire.

Seeing the stunning Tang Xiao, the men’s gazes were filled with amazement, and the women looked on with envy.

“Wow, President Tang, you look absolutely gorgeous today!”

“Haven’t seen you in half a year, President Tang, and you’ve gotten even more beautiful!”

“Heard President Tang got married?

Congratulations!”

“President Tang, in the midst of newlywed bliss, truly both beautiful and fortunate!”

…

The cordial greetings continued.

But they were all addressed to Tang Xiao.

As for Wu Jie…

Even though everyone saw him, they didn’t recognize him and simply treated him as if he were air.

Wu Jie, however, didn’t mind and was secretly pleased.

The system was delivering a stream of good news!

It stands to reason, being accompanied by a wife as beautiful as an angel naturally attracted a lot of envy and jealousy.

Ding-dong!

The elevator reached the first floor.

At the entrance to the lobby, many people were lined up, waiting to pass through security and enter.

There was quite a crowd, and the moment Wu Jie, leading Tang Xiao, appeared, it quickly stirred a little sensation.

Wu Jie could clearly hear many people gasping.

And naturally, wherever they went, people made way for them.

In this rather crowded space, a vacuum zone was formed.

This…

must be what they call the beauty effect!

Everyone yielded a bit, both to exhibit gentlemanly grace and to get a clear view of the whole picture.

With Tang Xiao’s tall and elegant figure, a greater distance was indeed needed to appreciate its flawless entirety.

“My goodness!

Isn’t that President Tang?”

“Ho!

It’s only been a short while since we last met, but President Tang has gotten even more beautiful!”

“They say to regard old friends with new eyes, but President Tang’s perfect transformation really makes me rub my eyes in disbelief!”

“First time seeing President Tang in a long dress, coming tonight was so worth it!”

…

Here comes the flattery again!

Endless compliments and admirations filled the air.

And numerous wealthy merchants acted as if they were ‘blind’, completely ignoring Wu Jie beside Tang Xiao.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding…

The system was congratulating too frequently.

Ignored by everyone, Wu Jie also ignored everyone.

With a faint smile on his face, he silently entered the “System.”

The third reward task had already been completed ahead of schedule.

He got the reward of five million energy points, and due to the envy, jealousy, and hatred of so many people around him, it was still increasing.

He had three chances for the lottery, but he didn’t have time to draw them now.

Additionally, he had obtained a random reward of a national-level permanent skill.

True to the System’s scummy nature, Wu Jie discovered, sure enough, it was the skill of traditional Chinese acupuncture.

It seemed that indeed, big brother had to acquire some medical skills!

Of course!

The fourth reward task was also issued as an immediate task.

[Task Information: Earn fifty million energy points within six months]

[Task Rewards: Twenty million energy points, a random reward of an international-level permanent skill, and five lottery draws]

[Failure Penalty: Zero out the host’s energy point balance, downgrade existing skills by two levels]

…

Such a task presented little difficulty, so Wu Jie accepted it instantly.

If he was lucky, he might complete the task tonight!

You have to have dreams; what if they come true!

Moreover, Wu Jie discovered another loophole in the System.

That was, although each task specifies earning a certain number of energy points, the final evaluation is based on the balance.

Like this time, having a balance of ten million meant completion.

In other words, for the fourth reward task, if Wu Jie only earned and didn’t spend, he actually only needed to earn forty million to be enough.

Looking at the situation tonight…

Wu Jie felt certain he was going to make a big fortune!

As more people gathered around, Wu Jie exited the System and concentrated fully.

After all, Mu En was going to cause trouble tonight, and there still was a substantial bounty on his head.

The more people there were, the more careful he had to be.

To avoid being distracted, Wu Jie had the System suspend the happy notifications.

“President Tang, after you, please!”

A fat and jolly businessman chuckled as he stepped back.

Tang Xiao smiled slightly, let go of Wu Jie’s hand, went through the security gate first, then stretched out her arms for the female security officer to check carefully.

Wu Jie was about to follow her when the fat businessman blocked his way.

The corpulent body stood like a wall, blocking the path.

The grinning man, with his bulging fish eyes, stared at Tang Xiao without blinking, his saliva almost drooling down.

Others thought Wu Jie would be angry, but he wasn’t.

Passing the security check after the fat businessman, Wu Jie extended his right hand, and Tang Xiao immediately complied by reaching out hers.

Their fingers interlocked, and they exchanged a glance.

Only then did Wu Jie cast a sidelong cold glance at the fat businessman, with a faint smile.

Sometimes, no words or actions can be more lethal than a gaze.

Contempt, mockery, provocation…

unnecessary.

A gaze with the nonchalance of a victor was enough to deliver ten thousand points of damage to the drooling fat businessman!

It deeply wounded his pride and stirred his jealousy and hatred.

Fight?

Brother is dressed in a suit and looking dapper; how could he stoop to fighting with a dead fatty?

Hand in hand with Tang Xiao, they slowly walked into the venue.

The hall was vast, with not only a stage but also a media reporter area.

And a greater area was set aside for several large round tables.

The tables didn’t have extravagant dishes, just a bouquet of flowers and some fruit platters.

Furthermore, the organizer had already arranged the seating according to the status of the invited guests and their previous donations.

So on the tables, not only were name placards placed, but also paddles for the auction.

The paddles had a heart-shape with a handle, engraved with different numbers.

As the president of Tanglong Industrial Group, Tang Xiao naturally had her seat in the front row.

Table one was for invited leaders and special guests, while top tycoons and important guests were at tables two and three.

Like Wang Linjian and Ma Yun, they were sitting at table two, chatting and laughing merrily.

It was indeed a setting where between laughs, deals worth billions could be struck.

In such an event, status truly determined seating.

As soon as Tang Xiao appeared, the noisy and bustling hall quickly quieted down.

Wu Jie, walking shoulder to shoulder with interlocked fingers with her, was no longer ignored, but rather viewed with enmity…
