Chapter 697: Chapter 697: The Terrifying Grand Opening Ceremony
Three years ago, Ye Shu had fled in desperation, seeking to heal her wounds, fixated solely on recuperating so that she could return one day to wipe clean her previous disgrace and avenge her child.
But she never anticipated that her disappearance would inflict such tremendous harm on those around her!
Ou Linlin and Sun Nanjue, because of her, had gone against the shareholders and saw their stars dim, even utterly failing, reduced to barely making ends meet by running a photo studio—but that didn’t matter much, for she was confident she could carve out a new world with them.
And what about Sheng Shuai?
If it weren’t for what Sheng Kun had just said, she wouldn’t have thought that her disappearance would drive Sheng Shuai to sell off the hard-built Entertainment New Force, and that his eyes had been damaged in his search for her.
She could even imagine how that foolish Big Commander B, despite the discomfort in his eyes, stared blankly at the game interface of Elf Light—surely he was waiting for her response...
As Ye Shu laid her head on the steering wheel, tears involuntarily spilled from the corners of her eyes as she recalled all that Sheng Shuai had done for her, feeling she could never repay him in this lifetime.
At that moment, Ou Linlin’s call suddenly came through, "Hey, Ye Shu, where are you? Weren’t you just going for a drive before coming back? The grand opening is tomorrow, and there are so many things still undone. Don’t think about slacking off."
"Alright, alright, I’m on my way back now, okay?" Ye Shu wiped the tears from her eyes, allowed her thoughts to settle briefly, took a deep breath, and started making her way back to Heng Kong Entertainment.
The next day, at the largest main hotel of Beidou Group!
In front of the hotel, a giant KT board bearing the words ’Heng Kong Entertainment Group Grand Opening Ceremony’ was placed at the center of the hundred-meter red carpet, with various lights, roses, and interesting decorative items lining both sides of the carpet.
A signing wall over two meters tall was also ready.
The grand opening ceremony was in full swing!
The four original controlling shareholders of Heng Kong Entertainment Group were already waiting at the hotel’s entrance with all the colleagues from the group for the guests to arrive.
However, as the clock’s hands neared six in the evening, apart from a crowd of reporters shooting and reporting, not a single invited guest had appeared, and the whole hundred-meter red carpet lay completely empty.
Seeing that time was getting tight, with the start time almost upon us, and still no guests to be seen, Ou Linlin’s face couldn’t help but show her anxiety, "Ye Shu, do you think it could be Song Xiaoxin deliberately going against us? We’ve contacted so many people over the phone, and they all said they would come if they could. But looking at the situation, it seems not so promising!"
"Yes, Little Shushu, if the guests still haven’t arrived by the time it starts, then that can only mean one thing—Song Xiaoxin, with all her wealth, must have interfered," Ye Shu replied.
"I think it’s very likely!" Ou Linlin said angrily, "That Song Xiaoxin is such a vile person. Seeing that we dared to come to her hotel and spread out our feast in celebration, she must have deliberately sabotaged us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be facing this situation! What’s the point of her doing this? She just wants our ceremony to look deserted and cheerless, doesn’t she? We made her lose face last time. With that woman’s character, she will surely take this opportunity to hit back..."
"What’s going on? Why has no one arrived yet?"
"Right, hasn’t our group offended someone and been ostracized?"
The employees of Heng Kong Group were already murmuring anxiously among themselves...
