Chapter 151: Six Exes, Gathered for the First Time!

His brain was already scrambled enough by Yang Lan, and with Su Meng and the others chattering away in his ears, it was truly annoying.

Shen Huai let out a roar, successfully intimidating everyone into silence.

Su Meng and Luo Xiaoya glared at each other, both obediently shutting their mouths.

The Ryan Group's celebration banquet divided the banquet hall into two.

On the left were the employees of Ryan Group, and on the right were the employees of Xingyao Entertainment.

Shen Huai led everyone over to the Xingyao side.

The other Xingyao employees had already taken their seats, with only one table in the far corner remaining empty.

"Go sit over there," Shen Huai said, pointing to that table, and walked over himself.

After everyone was seated, waiters soon arrived with drinks and snacks.

Ryan Group had really spared no expense this time, inviting several A-list celebrities from the European and American circles to build hype for the celebration.

The first thing Su Meng and the others did after sitting down was to impatiently take out their phones and start photographing the dazzling array of exquisite food and the girl group performance on stage.

On stage, lights crisscrossed, and the sound was deafening.

Shen Huai casually picked up a glass of champagne, took a light sip, and his gaze drifted involuntarily toward the main table.

At this moment.

Shen Zhiyuan was sitting at the main table diagonally across, drinking with Ryan Group Chairman Lu Kang.

Yang Shuqin sat beside Shen Zhiyuan, smiling and chiming in with him.

Seeming to sense Shen Huai's gaze, Yang Shuqin paused the hand holding her glass, looked back and scanned the room, and soon spotted Shen Huai sitting in the corner.

Yang Shuqin nodded slightly and winked at Shen Huai.

Shen Huai silently withdrew his gaze, pretending nothing had happened as he picked up a peanut in front of him.

"Director Shen, may I sit here?"

Suddenly, a cold, crisp voice sounded in his ear.

Shen Huai turned his head to look and saw Tong Yue holding a wine glass, looking at him with tender affection.

Shen Huai calmly sized Tong Yue up.

An elegant black evening gown outlined her exquisite, shapely figure.

Her fair skin seemed to glow faintly under the lights, and her delicate makeup made her features look even more three-dimensional and profound.

There was a hint of imperceptible resentment in her eyes, as if she were trying to say something.

Although he was puzzled, Shen Huai pretended to be indifferent on the surface, waving his hand toward the empty seat beside him to signal for Tong Yue to sit.

Tong Yue did not stand on ceremony; she sat down elegantly, raised the champagne in her hand toward Shen Huai, and parted her red lips: "I haven't officially congratulated you on becoming Director Shen yet. Logically speaking, your rank is higher than mine, but..."

She paused, a playful curve appearing at the corner of her mouth, "After all, you were once part of my Public Relations Department, so I won't use honorifics, is that alright?"

"Once a leader, always a leader."

Shen Huai joked with a smile, though his vigilance quietly rose.

This woman never visited without a reason.

Nothing good could come of her coming over this time.

"Stop with the glib talk."

Tong Yue gave him a coquettish glare, swept her gaze over Su Meng, Liu Shishi, and Luo Xiaoya, and said in a sour tone, "Director Shen really is charming; the department staff was fully equipped so quickly, and every one of them is a beauty..."

Upon hearing this, Su Meng and the others immediately caught a whiff of gossip.

A woman's intuition told them that there was definitely a story between Tong Yue and Shen Huai! Especially Luo Xiaoya, whose eyes darted back and forth between the two, dying to dig up their past immediately.

"Tong Yue, why did you run off to this table all by yourself?"

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Lu Sheng walking over gracefully, holding a wine glass.

The moment she saw Lu Sheng.

A flash of unnaturalness crossed Tong Yue's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Director Lu, it's quieter with fewer people over here." Lu Sheng's gaze swept over Tong Yue and the others, finally landing lightly on Shen Huai as she asked with a smile: "May I join the fun?"

How did another one come?

Shen Huai was a hundred percent unwilling inside.

But with so many eyes watching, he could only force a smile and pull out a chair for Lu Sheng: "Of course, please sit, Director Lu."

Lu Sheng sat elegantly to Shen Huai's left.

Before Shen Huai could catch his breath, another wave of fragrance drifted from behind.

Along with the scent that entered Shen Huai's ears was a charming voice: "Tsk, why is the Second Young Master Shen sitting in such a corner?"

Lin Yeman walked over, swaying her graceful figure.

The royal-style fishtail haute couture gown she was wearing was simply too magnificent.

The diamonds embedded in the hem of the skirt sparkled under the lights, instantly making everyone else's gowns look dull by comparison.

Liu Shishi looked at Lin Yeman's ultra-luxurious gown, then looked down at her own discounted Dior dress she had gritted her teeth to buy with her credit card, and couldn't help but feel a bit inferior.

Lin Yeman couldn't be bothered to care about those gazes.

Her gaze remained fixed on Shen Huai alone from start to finish.

"Team Leader Lin, why are you here? Shouldn't you be over with the artists?" Tong Yue's displeasure was becoming hard to contain.

"Why, aren't you and Director Lu also not at the Public Relations Department table?"

Lin Yeman asked back nonchalantly, walked to the empty seat on Shen Huai's right with extreme naturalness, and sat down with a smile.

Furthermore, she deliberately sat very close.

"Director Shen is truly blessed; even while eating, you are surrounded by beauties. If I didn't know better, I'd think I'd walked into Pan Si Dong."

Shen Huai suddenly felt as if he were being squeezed by two great mountains, unable to move.

While complaining to himself, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "Team Leader Lin is joking, I'm just chatting with my colleagues."

"Is that so?" Lin Yeman raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping across the faces of Tong Yue and Lu Sheng, the corners of her mouth curling into a meaningful smile. "So it was just chatting; I thought it was a royal concubine selection."

Tong Yue and Lu Sheng were both smart people.

Naturally, they heard the sarcasm in Lin Yeman's words.

But since they were on someone else's turf and represented the face of the company Xingyao, they had to suppress whatever anger they felt for the time being.

For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Lin Yeman did not care.

She pulled a handkerchief from her clutch and leaned her body slightly forward.

Leaning into Shen Huai's ear, she feigned innocence and said, "Director Shen, why are you sweating? Is the air conditioning too hot?"

"It's okay, let me wipe it for you."

As she spoke, she did not wait for Shen Huai's consent, directly using the handkerchief to gently wipe his temples.

Lin Yeman's actions appeared intimate, but in reality, they were full of possessiveness.

Whether it was her gaze, her tone, or her movements, every single one was declaring to everyone present:

Shen Huai is my man, none of you even think about having designs on him! Everyone just stared silently at Lin Yeman's actions.

Beneath their calm expressions on the surface were hearts already brimming with jealousy.

Liu Shishi gripped her teacup tightly, and Su Meng bit her lip, her eyes burning like fire.

Tong Yue drank her sullen wine one gulp after another, and Luo Xiaoya's chopsticks hung in mid-air, unable to come down.

Even Lu Sheng looked at Lin Yeman in surprise.

She could not believe that Lin Yeman would dare to act so recklessly on such an occasion!
