Chapter 152: Reading Palms

Lin Yeman's actions were undoubtedly a public execution for everyone present, especially for Shen Huai's ex-girlfriends.

"Team Leader Lin is truly thoughtful."

Tong Yue said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, though her gaze was like poison, wishing she could poke a few holes in Lin Yeman, "If I didn't know better, I would have thought Team Leader Lin was the one who was General Manager Shen's personal assistant."

"General Manager Shen is busy with work; he does indeed need someone by his side to take care of him."

Lin Yeman retracted the tissue, deliberately brushing it lightly across Shen Huai's face, her eyes filled with provocation as they darted about, "As a member of Xingyao, I am naturally duty-bound."

This woman, does she really think she's a demon from Pan Si Dong?

Shen Huai felt completely uncomfortable from her performance.

However, before he could even open his mouth, a commotion suddenly broke out behind him.

"Is that... General Manager Yang?"

"It really is General Manager Yang! Why is she here?"

"My god, I actually got to see the real Yang Lan!"

Yang Lan?! Hearing this name, Shen Huai turned his head abruptly.

He saw a familiar figure slowly walking toward their table.

Today, Yang Lan was wearing a black slim-fit evening gown, which outlined her perfect figure to perfection.

Her long, jet-black hair was draped casually over her shoulders, and her exquisite makeup made her already outstanding features look even more radiant and moving.

With a faint smile on her face, her every gesture exuded elegance and composure; her mere appearance attracted everyone's gaze.

The moment the Xingyao staff saw Yang Lan, they were all shocked! They never expected that one day they would actually see their own boss.

Because Liu Shishi had just transitioned from an intern to Shen Huai's assistant, she only knew that the company's Chairman was surnamed Yang and was a woman.

Seeing everyone acting like they had never seen the world before, she felt a bit puzzled.

She quietly leaned over to Luo Xiaoya's ear and asked in a low voice, "Sister Xiaoya, who is this person? Why is everyone so afraid of her?"

Hearing this, Luo Xiaoya couldn't help but roll her eyes and said irritably, "You don't even recognize General Manager Yang? She's our company's Chairman!"

"What?!"

"She is General Manager Yang?"

Liu Shishi widened her eyes in shock.

Her mouth was open so wide that an egg could fit inside.

She had previously assumed that for Xingyao to become this large, the boss would at least be a middle-aged woman who was advanced in years and weathered by life.

Yet, she never expected.

The Chairman of Xingyao was actually so young; not only did she look like she was only a few years older than her, but her appearance was also so outstanding!

In an instant.

Liu Shishi felt she had lost completely.

She looked down at the discounted Dior gown she had bought by gritting her teeth and swiping her credit card just to keep up appearances.

Then she looked at the high-end custom gown Yang Lan was wearing, which looked expensive at a glance, and her inner sense of inferiority began to overflow.

Just as Liu Shishi was lost in her wild thoughts, Yang Lan had already walked up to their table.

"There are really a lot of people at this table."

Yang Lan's voice was very soft, yet it carried a pressure that one could not ignore.

"Hello, General Manager Yang!"

"Good evening, General Manager Yang!"

Except for Shen Huai, everyone else stood up one after another to greet Yang Lan.

"Everyone sit down, no need to be formal." Yang Lan smiled faintly, her gaze sweeping around the circle before finally landing on the empty seat next to Shen Huai.

"Oh, Director Lu is here too? Shouldn't you be at the Public Relations Department table?"

"General Manager Yang, I came specifically to thank Director Shen."

Being pointed out by Yang Lan, Lu Sheng's face flashed with embarrassment; she hurriedly stood up to explain, "The fact that Ryan's press conference could be held smoothly this time is largely due to Director Shen's hard work, so I came over to toast him a drink, right, Di, rec, tor, Shen."

As Lu Sheng spoke, her eyes gave Shen Huai a frantic hint.

Shen Huai raised an eyebrow, received the signal, and nodded in cooperation with Lu Sheng: "... Ah, that is indeed the case." "So that's how it is, then has Director Lu finished thanking him?"

"Yes, it's finished." Lu Sheng nodded hurriedly.

"That's good then."

Yang Lan looked at Lu Sheng and Shen Huai, her eyes dancing with amusement.

Just as Lu Sheng felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Yang Lan suddenly spoke again: "Then may I ask Director Lu, can I sit here?"

Yang Lan stood next to Lu Sheng, lowered her head slightly, and looked at her with a smile in her eyes.

In an instant.

Lu Sheng only felt her scalp go numb! She clearly hadn't expected that Yang Lan would suddenly make such a request.

This seat was one she had managed to snatch with great difficulty; it was the closest to Shen Huai and had the best view, so how could she easily give it to someone else?

However, the other party was Yang Lan, her direct superior, and the Chairman of Xingyao Group.

She was the woman in the entire entertainment industry who could least afford to be offended! Even if she were a hundred times unwilling, she wouldn't dare to refuse to her face.

"... Of course you can, please sit, General Manager Yang."

Lu Sheng squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, stood up reluctantly, and gave up her seat.

Yang Lan nodded to Lu Sheng in acknowledgment, then sat down next to Shen Huai without ceremony.

For a moment, the atmosphere at Shen Huai's table became somewhat subtle.

Everyone was secretly sizing up Yang Lan and Shen Huai, their eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

What exactly is the relationship between these two? "General Manager Shen, you are certainly in high spirits, dining with so many beauties."

After Yang Lan sat down, she did not immediately get to the point, but instead looked at Shen Huai with a smile that was not quite a smile, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

Shen Huai felt his scalp tingle instantly and braced himself to explain: "President Yang, you are joking. I was just discussing work matters with my colleagues."

"Is that so?"

Yang Lan raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the faces of Tong Yue, Lu Sheng, and Lin Yeman, finally landing on Lin Yeman, the corners of her mouth curling into a meaningful smile. "I heard that Team Leader Lin has been getting very close to General Manager Shen lately."

Lin Yeman did not shy away; instead, she gracefully took Shen Huai's arm and said coquettishly, "That's right. General Manager Shen and I hit it off the moment we met; it feels like we met too late."

As she spoke, she deliberately emphasized the four words "met too late," looking at Yang Lan provocatively.

???? Everyone's complexion turned from pale to green in an instant.

This Lin Yeman, it was one thing for her to act recklessly in front of them.

But now that the Chairman was sitting right there, how could Lin Yeman dare to flirt and pose in front of her?

Was she tired of her career going too smoothly?

"Oh? Is that so?"

Yang Lan laughed instead of getting angry, picked up the red wine glass on the table, and swirled it gently, her gaze remaining fixed on the arm Lin Yeman had linked with Shen Huai, her tone meaningful. "I really underestimated Team Leader Lin's charm."

After a pause, Yang Lan scanned the room and meaningfully spread her right hand toward Shen Huai: "However, when the eldest young master of the Shen family was reading my fortune earlier, he said my marriage prospects would be excellent and that my destined partner was close at hand."

"Since you are his twin brother, you must also have a talent for fortune-telling, right?"

"I wonder if you could take a look for me and see if I, like Team Leader Lin, can know exactly where my destined partner is?"

Hearing this, Shen Huai's expression changed abruptly.

Even Lin Yeman, who was to the side, was stunned, looking at her own sister with a strange expression.

How, in the blink of an eye.

Did Yang Lan turn the topic to palm reading?!

The three of them all knew that the Shen Family did not have twins in the true sense.

This remark from Yang Lan, while ostensibly about palm reading.

Was merely an attempt to use the name of the eldest young master of the Shen family to make Shen Huai admit that he himself was that destined partner.

Having seen through everything, Shen Huai felt speechless inside.

What kind of yandere constitution is this? It's truly incredible!
