Chapter 585: Chapter 585: She is Disappointed in Love _1

Hearing the indirect inquiry from his elder brother, asking if Cheng Bingbing was his girlfriend, Huo Qilin should deny it.

But for some reason, the words lingering on his lips to be spoken about, suddenly images of Cheng Bingbing’s reddened eyes flashed across his mind, leaving him a little lost in thoughts.

"Qilin?" Seeing him silent, Huo Qichen asked a question.

"It can be considered she’s my girlfriend." Huo Qilin responded somewhat ambiguously.

There was a hint of admiration in Huo Qichen’s tone, asking, "I thought you liked Bo Jingyan’s wife? Did you manage to win her over?"

If he truly defeated Bo Jingyan and snatched his wife away, that would surely be proof that he is abler.

Suddenly, Huo Qilin’s expression on his face turned gloomy, "Not her, she doesn’t even like me at all. How can she be with me, be my girlfriend? A forcibly plucked melon isn’t sweet!"

Nonetheless, Huo Qichen didn’t seem to care about these slight details.

He dismissively remarked, "Aren’t you going to pick the melon to confirm if it’s sweet?"

Huo Qilin realized his elder brother’s values were not quite upright.

If it is something he desires, regardless if it’s a person or a thing, irrespective of whether they are already taken, or whether they like him or not, he just has to possess it.

This is something he can never learn!

Seeing that Huo Qilin was not talking, Huo Qichen didn’t press any more on that topic.

Since he was not used to reading entertainment news, he had no idea about his younger brother’s rumored affairs, "Does your new girlfriend work in the entertainment industry?" He asked with genuine concern.

"Yes." Huo Qilin confirmed.

Mentioning the entertainment industry, Huo Qichen seemed to have thought of something interesting, a glint of interest could be seen in his eyes.

He agreed saying, "Alright, take your friend to see the house when you have the time, I’ll notify the sales manager in advance."

"Thank you, big brother." Having achieved his objective, Huo Qilin thanked him and was ready to end the call, "Anyway, big brother, I won’t disturb your work now."

"Wait!" Huo Qichen abruptly stopped him.

Huo Qilin asked, "What is it, big brother?"

"I want to inquire about someone in the entertainment industry..." Huo Qichen slowly said.

"Who?" Huo Qilin asked with curiosity.

Just like how he was not interested in the family business, his elder brother was never interested in the entertainment world. But now, he wanted him to ask about someone who worked in the field of entertainment.

How could that not be a surprise to him?

"It is..." Huo Qichen was about to say it but swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue, "Never mind, I’ll find out myself when I have time."

As he said this, he didn’t give Huo Qilin a chance to gossip further and directly hung up the call.

...

Perhaps due to her unsuccessful love lives, she found success on the career front.

Following her divorce with Bo Jingyan, apart from investing a part of her energy on An’an, the rest of it was completely invested in work.

Effort and reward are always directly proportional.

The company is growing steadily now, and all artists, regardless of their popularity, have achieved significant progress, no longer in a state where they are anonymous in the entertainment industry.

The company’s stocks are continuously rising, and it is even ready for a stock market listing.

Considering the company can go for public listing, it definitely should go for it.

During the divorce, it seems like Bo Jingyan had her interests at heart. Apart from the shares of the Bo Group she received from the Bo Family Elder, he also handed over the entertainment company to her.

If the entertainment company goes public, then Xia Qingtian’s net worth would skyrocket several times over.

Her recent primary task, apart from managing the artists, consists of preparing the company for public listing. This includes attending numerous banquets and dinners every day.

Despite it being exhausting, she finds this busy lifestyle rather fulfilling.

One day, she received an invitation to a business dinner, where many industry stalwarts will be present. Apart from exchanging thoughts and ideas, if luck favors her, they might discuss opportunities for possible collaboration and investment.

This is what Xia Qingtian needed the most, so she definitely was not going to miss this opportunity.

Soon, the day of the business dinner arrived.

Xia Qingtian, wearing ten-centimetre slim high heels, big curls, fiery red lips, and a professional black-fit dress, effortlessly exhibited her efficiency and allure.

She arrived at the venue of the business dinner a bit early.

She had expected to be a non-entity at the elite business dinner, but surprisingly, many people recognized her.

Many approached her with their wine glasses after seeing her.

One of them, a man in a white suit that everyone addressed as ’Mr. Sun’, expressed his admiration for her, "So, it’s Miss Xia. I’ve heard a lot about you."

Xia Qingtian’s eyes widened in surprise.

"You recognise me?" She asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Who doesn’t know Miss Xia, you’re quite the dark horse that has emerged recently in the business world." Mr. Sun responded.

"Me? A dark horse?" Xia Qingtian was even more surprised.

She wasn’t aware of her status as a dark horse, let alone that she is apparently well known.

"Miss Xia, aren’t you being too modest?" Mr. Sun laughed like Maitreya Buddha, full of admiration in his tone, "Who isn’t aware now that you’ve turned a virtually unknown small entertainment company into a soon-to-be listed corporation in less than a year? Your talent in business is truly formidable."

As he said this, he gave Xia Qingtian a thumbs up.

Seeing his sincere expression, Xia Qingtian felt he wasn’t being deceitful and that her achievements seemed impressive.

"You’re too kind." was all she could say modestly.

After Mr. Sun, more and more people greeted her.

In such high-profile dinners where many top figures were present, there were certain rules. Unless there were special circumstances, the later a person arrived, the higher their status and identity.

As time progressed, the faces of the later arrivals began to appear more frequently on authoritative economic news shows and magazines.

Many people present looked familiar to Xia Qingtian.

Until a slightly plump, balding man, who she assumed was quite familiar, waltzed in surrounded by a crowd of people. However, he looked completely unfamiliar, as if she had never seen him before.

Theoretically, a person making an entry at this time should be quite famous.

Moreover, this man had so many people flocking around as soon as he entered; he surely couldn’t be a nobody.

Xia Qingtian found that a bit strange. She was just chatting with Mr. Sun, who seemed talkative and approachable, so asked him about the unfamiliar man.

"Mr. Sun, who is that man?" She pointed at the slightly plump man and asked.

Mr. Sun glanced over and replied, "That’s Mr. Zhu. He inherited billions of dollars in inheritance from his wife and recently returned from abroad. Although he himself hasn’t achieved much, his wife’s businesses are located all over the world, an extensive family business not to be underestimated."
