"It's not 'coming at the perfect time' at all!" An Nuan couldn't help but swear.
Although she was dazzled by his smile,
the fact was that she had told the reporters Ye Jinghuai wouldn't come,
and she hadn't saved a spot for Ye Jinghuai either.
So his sudden appearance now was really out of line.
Was this guy just born to mess with her?!
Faced with An Nuan's anger and exasperation, Ye Jinghuai was not angry at all, but smiling brightly instead.
An Nuan was speechless.
She said, "There are no seats left for you, just stand to the side."
"Who said there are no seats left?" Ye Jinghuai didn't seem to care at all.
He squatted down and went right under the ribbons.
Before An Nuan could react, she felt Ye Jinghuai standing behind her, hugging her from behind.
Then his big hand covered An Nuan's hand that was holding the scissors.
It gave the impression that the two of them were cutting the ribbon together, being lovey-dovey to the extreme.
They were publicly displaying their affection in front of the whole nation!
An Nuan's face turned red.
But Ye Jinghuai looked completely calm.
The host counted down the time.
Everyone cut the ribbon together.
At the entrance, the sound of firecrackers could be heard.
It was very lively.
There was also lots of applause from the scene.
The hype was at its peak.
After the ribbon-cutting was over,
according to the schedule,
all the guests would go to tour the venue, while Bai Xiaotu started her livestream activity.
An Nuan followed behind the group,
and Ye Jinghuai naturally followed behind her as well.
There were cameras all around them.
"I thought you wouldn't come back," An Nuan still sounded annoyed.
If you were going to come back, you should have said something.
"I won't go back on my word to you,"
"Then why didn't you reply to my messages?"
"I was on the plane."
"After you got off the plane, why didn't you reply?" An Nuan pressed.
She was acting just like a nagging girlfriend.
"I was rushing to get here for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, no time to reply."
"You weren't the one driving." An Nuan could see clearly that the driver was Qin Jiang.
"True, but we were speeding the whole way. I was also scared to death, so I kept holding on tight to the handle and didn't dare be negligent for a second."
"......" Anyway you'll always have an excuse.
"Don't be angry anymore, I rushed back didn't I?" Ye Jinghuai said softly by her ear.
The sudden closeness frightened An Nuan and made her jump.
"Can you be more proper?"
"It's hard for me to be proper when you look angry."
"What do I look like that makes you proper?" An Nuan said angrily.
"So you know!" Ye Jinghuai laughed, extremely happily.
An Nuan was truly speechless.
The two of them kept bickering,
occasionally with some petty behavior.
What they didn't know was that all their little interactions were being broadcasted live.
At first, the crowds just tuned in to see the real-time news, after all the hype that Light Tower had created, and also to see what was so impressive about this shopping plaza. Then they saw, in an inconspicuous corner among the crowds, a young man and woman who were clearly flirting.
This is...going to sweeten people to death!
Comments started flooding the screens.
"If I commit a crime, please let the law punish me, don't let me open my computer and see this kind of image torturing me!"
"Hey there little couple over there flirting, can you consider the feelings of us crowds who are just here to watch the show!"
"Can anyone tell me if the dress An Nuan is wearing can be bought at Light Tower?!"
...
In a short while,
it became a hot national topic,
and even Ye Jinghuai and An Nuan's interactions made it to the hot search trends that day.
Saying that An Nuan was usually a strict woman,
but in front of Ye Jinghuai she became so cute she's exploding!
Gu Yan Sheng looked at the computer screen, enduring the urge to smash his computer!
The An Nuan now compared to the An Nuan before were clearly like two different people after an earth-shattering change. Not only her clothing taste, even her facial expressions were livelier than when she was with him.
He had never seen An Nuan act coquettishly before.
But right now next to Ye Jinghuai, she was clearly behaving like a shy little woman.
Gu Yan Sheng gritted his teeth angrily.
Ye Jinghuai's words suddenly rang out in his mind, saying a woman's performance in bed depends on the man...
The more he thought about it the angrier he felt.
Gu Yan Sheng directly shut off his computer.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
Gu Yan Sheng looked at the caller ID,
adjusted his emotions, before picking up.
"Sir." Gu Yan Sheng was extremely respectful.
"Take down the An Corporation." the other side commanded.
"I know, it's just that An Nuan seems to have suddenly powered up recently, completely out of my control. It's very hard for me to find an opportunity to take An Corporation from An Nuan," Gu Yan Sheng carefully explained, "I originally wanted to just kill An Nuan directly. Once An Nuan dies, An Yanyuan would be too sad to manage the company, then I could take advantage of the situation. But you reminded me not to act rashly, saying someone is watching me?!"
"Killing An Nuan is not the priority right now, the priority is bringing down An Yanyuan. There's no time to waste with them, capture the ringleader first and go straight for the heart of the matter!"
"What do you mean, sir?" Gu Yan Sheng was clearly somewhat excited.
"Listen to my arrangements."
"Yes." Gu Yan Sheng hurriedly agreed.
The other side said a lot. Gu Yan Sheng continuously echoed in agreement.
After hanging up the call,
an extremely sinister smile appeared on Gu Yan Sheng's face.
He didn't believe that he still couldn't kill An Nuan.
Once An Yanyuan falls, Ye Jinghuai would definitely not be able to be with An Nuan anymore. Then he could torture An Nuan however he liked!
He would make that woman suffer a fate worse than death!
...
The grand reopening event went on for a whole day.
An Yanyuan and the leadership team had of course already toured and left. An Nuan had stayed behind as the planning lead for the reopening activities, plus it was Bai Xiaotu's first livestream, so she remained there.
Since she stayed, Ye Jinghuai naturally stayed as well.
Somehow Qin Jiang had also appeared by their side.
Anyway he just followed around Ye Jinghuai.
Bai Xiaotu livestreamed for a full day.
She really streamed live for a whole entire day, and introduced every corner of Light Tower.
From just a few thousand viewers at the start, it reached over 200,000 people watching by the afternoon when she ended.
For a first ever livestream, back 10 years ago when online platforms weren't as prevalent, this was already an astonishing number.
The popularity was massive.
However the real-time transaction volume was pitifully low.
After all, online shopping methods had not yet become mainstream.
When the stream ended,
it was already 5:30pm.
Bai Xiaotu was clearly also somewhat tired.
An Nuan went up to her, "You worked hard today."
"It was alright." Bai Xiaotu smiled lightly, "I was worried I wouldn't perform well."
"It was quite good," An Nuan affirmed, "Reaching this standard on your first try is already very impressive."
"But I heard that the back-end transaction volume seemed very low."
"Don't blame yourself for that. People aren't used to shopping online yet, it's normal. But after your livestream promotion all day today, I feel there may be a surprising result tomorrow."
"Hopefully so." Bai Xiaotu agreed.
"It's gotten late, go back and rest early."
"Ok." Bai Xiaotu smiled, "Then I'll get going first."
An Nuan nodded.
Bai Xiaotu also smiled politely at Ye Jinghuai and Qin Jiang next to An Nuan before leaving with her manager.
"Bai Xiaotu?!" Qin Jiang watched Bai Xiaotu's back as she left, muttering under his breath. His tone was clearly meaningful.
