Charlene shook her head, snapping out of her thoughts.
No, she couldn’t just sit back and wait for things to happen. She needed to take the initiative. Opportunities favored the prepared.
Watching Shu Pan’s nervous and somewhat restrained demeanor, Charlene couldn’t help but feel disdainful. How provincial. She was determined to find an opportunity to show her that the upper echelons were no place for an ordinary woman like her.
Shu Pan rarely attended such events. Suddenly facing such a magnificent venue and various upper-class individuals, she felt extremely uneasy. She was afraid of not doing well and embarrassing Gu Shaoting.
Gu Shaoting seemed to sense her nervousness. He spoke gently, “I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”
Yes, he was here.
Shu Pan couldn’t help but straighten her posture, lifting her head.
As they reached the front of the venue, the banquet officially began.
The host took the stage, first giving a grand introduction to the history of Gu Group’s development. Then, the host’s voice rang out again, “Now, we invite Mr. Gu Shaoting, the CEO of Gu Group, to the stage to deliver a speech. Over the past few years, Gu Group has achieved one brilliant success after another, thanks to the decisive decisions and leadership of our young leader. Let’s welcome him with applause.”
As the host finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Then, they saw Gu Shaoting swiftly stand up from his seat and stride confidently onto the stage. Dressed in a suit, his posture was erect, exuding an aura of authority that commanded respect.
As he stood on the stage, Shu Pan’s gaze remained fixed on him, not moving an inch. This man would be her husband – elegant in posture, with deep, mysterious eyes.
Her hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and her heart pounded like a war drum in her chest, as she watched his tall, slender figure, her thick lashes fluttering slightly.
Perhaps Gu Shaoting felt it too, his gaze lifted slightly, meeting Shu Pan’s. Then, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and in that moment of eye contact, they shared a knowing smile.
Yes, how could one not be enchanted? Gu Shaoting stood tall and imposing, moving with confidence and grace. His perfectly chiselled features exuded nobility, and as he stood on the stage, he seemed like a king, radiating dominance.
Similarly, Charlene in the audience felt her heart about to burst from her chest. This man was simply too captivating.
And it wasn’t just her; all the young women in the audience felt their blood boiling with excitement. Gu Shaoting was the most perfect man they had ever seen, and to be noticed by him was a rare privilege.
Gu Shaoting’s speech was brief but impactful. Though he spoke sparingly, every word carried weight and power, resonating deep within the hearts of the listeners.
As he stepped down from the stage amidst thunderous applause, the host took the stage again, delivering an impassioned speech before commencing the evening’s entertainment program.
The first performers to take the stage were a renowned female group, igniting the atmosphere with their performance.
Everyone was thrilled; such spectacles were rare indeed.
After Gu Shaoting stepped down from the stage, Mr. John waved to him. Gu Shaoting smiled and approached him.
“Shaoting, well done. The banquet is truly splendid,” Mr. John said, smiling.
“Oh, you’re too kind. I must thank you for coming all this way to support us. Please forgive any lapses in hospitality,” Gu Shaoting replied politely.
“Let’s skip the flattering. My daughter’s presence here might have inconvenienced you,” Mr. John said gratefully.
