Chapter 100: Adversaries Are Destined to Meet
In the blink of an eye, it was seven oclock in the evening, and TEG's annual party started in full swing.
That night, the venue was magnificent with bright lights, flowers, red wine and pastries. There were etiquette ladies leading the distinguished stars one after another into the venue.
These people included popular actresses, senior actors, and even super-popular celebrities.
Each of them was dressed up in expensive designer clothes, which made them even more dazzling. Every time they showed up, they would attract a lot of attention.
In the crowded hall, all kinds of young talents and beauties in formal dress were holding champagne, chatting and laughing in groups. Judging from their manner, they were not inferior to the upper class. Rosiley also dressed up tonight.
She looked dignified and elegant with her long hair put up high. Her ears were glittering with earrings, her face was dressed in delicate makeup, and she wore a simple black-and-white dress. She was pure and charming, noble and low-key, contradictory and eye-catching.
The ladies present tonight were competing with each other for beauty of looks. They were sexy, charming, hot, pure and cute... Although Rosiley was dressed simply, she looked unique for her outstanding temperament.
This could tell from the constant gazes of the people around her.
Some of the men was stunned at her look and were even had the impulse to chat her up.
"There are so many people tonight."
After going around the venue, Yayoi came to Rosiley in a dress.
Their eyes were fixed on the entrance. Guests kept coming in. It showed that TEG's connections in the entertainment industry could not be underestimated.
"Yes. There should be enough cameras on the signature wall, right?"
"Yes, I just send two more ... What?"
As Yayoi spoke, her gaze at the entrance to the venue suddenly narrowed. And she let out a surprised word.
When Rosiley heard it, she followed her gaze doubtfully.
Two more figures appeared at the entrance of the venue.
Those were two well-dressed women. They entered the venue one after the other. The one in front wore a deep V-shaped red gown, revealing her front breast. With an attractive waist, she was a sexy beauty. As for the one behind her, she wore a purple strapless gown with exquisite makeup. The curvaceous figure and seductive face made her a rare beauty.
They were famous actresses in the entertainment industry and were known to be good friends ... Hazel and Manny Qin!
"Adversaries are destined to meet. It's going to be a fun night."
Rosiley narrowed her eyes with a playful expression.
"If Rorey was present, there would be a bunch of bitches."
Yayoi also sneered. Because of Rosiley, she shared a bitter hatred of these people.
Rosiley nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she turned her gaze to the door again. "She is here...!"
As soon as she finished, another two figures appeared at the entrance.
The man was as gentle as a jade, and the woman was beautiful and hot. They showed up arm in arm intimately.
They were Rorey and Yunis!
"Seeing so many disgusting faces at once, we don't deserve this."
Yayoi couldn't help but let out a sigh as her eyes scanned the group of people.
Rosiley was amused by her words and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we are so poor."
Yayoi rolled her eyes helplessly. "Forget it. Leave them alone. Let's go over there and eat something. We've been busy all afternoon without having a dinner!" "Okay, I'm hungry too."
Rosiley looked away and left with Yayoi.
As they left, Hazel and Manny Qin cast their gazes on them. "Hey, your old love rival is over there. You are in the limelight lately. Why don't you go over and greet her?"
"I'm not interested. That woman is not easy to deal with."
Hazel shook her head, showing no interest. In fact, she was unwilling to face Rosiley.
In the last interview, she had already seen what Rosiley was capable of. After being a reporter, that woman became more difficult to deal with. Hazel was wiser than to take the initiative to create trouble. What happened to Rorey was a vivid lesson.
"So what? She is just a reporter. No matter how capable she is, she won't be able to rude here. Also, look at the people coming from behind."
Manny smiled and pointed at Yunis and Rorey behind her. "That stupid woman hates Rosiley. Perhaps this party will be fun."
"... It sounds interesting. But before that, let's go to greet Yunis."
Hazel smiled and walked towards Yunis. An indescribable infatuation surged into her beautiful pupils.
"Senior."
Soon, Hazel stood in front of Yunis and Rorey, who had just arrived. The corners of her lips curled into a smile, and she looked gentle and elegant. "Hazel, you are here too?"
Yunis smiled and nodded to Manny beside Hazel as a greeting.
"Mr. Ji, long time no see. You are handsome as usual. No wonder Hazel is still hung up on you!"
Manny opened her mouth and teased him jokingly, completely ignoring the presence of Rorey.
Rorey's expression changed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed through her eyes.
Although Yunis's reputation wasn't as good as before, he was still as gentle as a jade, rich and handsome. Women still adored him.
However, Rorey only dared to be angry and not say anything. After all, two of them had helped her when she came back, even though it was insignificant.
"What are you talking about? Rorey and Yunis are married."
Hazel glared at Manny and pretended to be mad. Then, she smiled at Rorey with apologies, "Rorey, don't listen to her nonsense. She likes to joke. Don't be angry." "How could I get angry? We are friends."
Rorey forced a smile and shook her head, pretending to be sensible.
Hazel did not dwell too much on it and turned to a new topic. "It is surprising that you are here. What a party tonight! There are also many seniors of the industry." "Yes, there are indeed a lot of peers in the entertainment industry."
Rorey's eyes were burning. After the devastating scandal happened half a month ago, there was no room for her in the entertainment industry.
Although she had asked Stacie to arrange a lot of meals, the result was not satisfactory. Sometimes, she would be turned down. Those people were stubborn. It would be hard to buy them off.
To know some of the famous producers and directors, she came with Yunis tonight and hoped that she could find some opportunities to make a name for herself.
Chapter 101: I Am This Lady's Dance Partner
Hazel seemed to see through Rorey's thoughts, so she couldn't help but laugh and say, "Manny and I are going to greet them. If you want, you can come with us." Rorey's eyes lit up, "Is that okay?"
"Of course, as long as Yunis agrees."
Hazel smiled and looked at Yunis to seek his opinion.
Hearing this, Yunis couldn't help but frown.
Rorey was almost three months pregnant. Although her belly was not that big yet, he wished that she could abandon the idea of returning to the entertainment industry at this time.
Especially now that the Ji Group was in such a mess, he couldn't spare any time and energy to deal with her affairs.
Seeing that Yunis didn't say anything, Rorey was a little anxious. She quickly pulled his arm and said coquettishly, "Yunis, please. It is a rare opportunity. Maybe I can find some opportunities here. Also, you don't have to worry about me. With Hazel here, I will be fine with the child."
"Alright, I have something to do later. Be careful yourself."
Yunis couldn't resist Rorey's soft voice. He only pondered for a moment before agreeing.
He turned around and smiled at Hazel, "Hazel, please take care of Rorey. Thank you!"
"Don't mention it. We are friends."
Although she said that, Hazel's eyes were filled with coldness.
She was very conscious that Rorey was deliberately showing off her intimacy with Yunis just now.
Thinking of this, Hazel was even more disdainful of her.
A little-known actor actually wanted to build a relationship with those big-name actors and directors. This was simply self-humiliating!
"Then you guys go. I'll go over there and greet some friends."
Yunis waved his hand at three women, and then he turned around and walked towards a middle-aged man not far away.
"Remember to stay away from those bitches! They are difficult to deal with."
In the corner of the banquet hall, Yayoi was holding a pastry plate in her hand. She was gobbling the desserts while nagging at Rosiley beside her.
"Of course, I will stay away from them, as long as they don't come looking for trouble with me."
Rosiley took a sip of juice and glanced lazily at Rorey and the others.
"Surprisingly, Rorey and Yunis are here to participate in the annual meeting. I heard that the Ji Group has been looking for investments and has been rebuffed everywhere recently."
Yayoi grabbed Rosiley's hand and took a sip of fruit juice from her cup. It sounded that she was pleased with the bad situation of the Ji Group.
Rosiley was surprised.
She had heard about the news of the Ji Group half a month ago, but she didn't take it to heart at that time.
It had been the Ji family's foundation for decades anyway. Although the scandal had caused its stock price to tumble, it was no big deal. Even if something really happened, with their connections and methods, they would settle it very quickly.
She hadn't expected that the Ji Group hadn't settled this matter after half a month.
"It is, what comes around goes around. Yunis looks haggard and anxious. Perhaps the Ji Group will really go bankrupt. At that time, Rorey's dream of being wealthy will be shattered."
Yayoi showed no signs of sympathy for the couple.
She was right. Faced with the current crisis, the Ji Group was not away from bankruptcy
And Yunis's purpose in coming here tonight was to find investors.
Although the Ji Group had quite some influence in the country, it kept being rebuffed as if it had been cursed recently. They tried their best to lower the standards for cooperation and the price of that project, bu no company wanted to invest in it.
It made it hard for the Ji family to do anything else. And Yunis could only come to this place to try his luck.
However, other than the important members of the Ji family who knew about this matter, outsiders did not know about it.
Rosiley heard this and didn't take it seriously, "Who cares? What happened to the Ji Group is their family's business. It has nothing to do with me. Stop talking about them. The annual meeting is about to start..."
As Rosiley finished speaking, a host stepped onto the stage and presided over the opening of the annual meeting.
This host was specially hired by TEG. With humorous words, he enlivened the atmosphere. And many guests were attracted and moved closer to the stage.
After a while, the host invited TEG's president to the stage and announced the start of the annual meeting.
The entire venue was extremely lively. Some people who knew each other stood together and greeted and chatted with each other.
Rosiley and Yayoi looked round and didn't find anything unusual, so they went to greet some old acquaintances.
Although the two of them were reporters, they knew quite a few celebrities.
However, not long after, Rosiley was stopped by a stranger. "Miss, sorry to disturb you. You are so charming. May I have the honor to dance with you later?"
This man was refined, gentle and energetic. He made a good first impression on Rosiley.
However, Rosiley smiled and shook her head without hesitation. "Sorry, there must be someone else you can ask."
In fact, apart from Yunis who turned out to be a playboy, she had never danced with another man before.
She had promised Sachin that she wouldn't have much contact with other men, so she would only dance with him.
"Well, do you have a date?" the man asked unyieldingly.
Rosiley shook her head, "Not yet. I'm sorry..."
"In that case, why don't you dance with me?"
The man didn't want to give up and kept pestering her.
Rosiley frowned. Just as she was thinking about how to refuse, someone said, "She has refused you!"
He spoke with a trace of courtesy. That man turned around and was shocked, "Who are you?"
Rosiley also turned around, only to discover that another man had appeared beside her.
With an extremely handsome face, he looked uninhibited and arrogant. He wore a handsome tuxedo. As a noble man, he attracted many women's attention and made the men here feel inferior.
Rosiley was surprised.
Because this person was Payton!
"This young lady already has a date. Please leave."
Payton smiled as he stared at the strange man who had invited Rosiley to dance. Although he seemed graceful and courteous, there was a trace of coldness in his words.
"Well, since that's the case, then I won't bother you anymore."
The man was shocked by his aura. He couldn't help but rub his nose resentfully and left.
Once that person left, Rosiley smiled at Payton and said, "Thank you."
"Rosiley, you're welcome. It's my duty to chase away flies for you."
Payton smiled and made a gentlemanly gesture to her. His charming elegance lit up the eyes of the women present.
Rosiley shook her head and laughed, "No kidding. Why are you here?"
"My brother asked me to attend the meeting and serve as your partner."
Payton sighed helplessly. He couldn't help but complain, "I can't understand you two. Why didn't you make your relationship public? It's easy for you to conceal your marriage. But if this goes on, I suspect that no woman would like to marry me."
