Why shouldn’t she take it? Whether it’s a gift from Qin Zhiyou or because she had a sudden stroke of good luck and won it herself, the prize belonged to her. If she didn’t take it, it would just be to Qin Zhiyou’s advantage. That penny-pincher had calculated everything so clearly with her, she wasn’t going to let him get off lightly!
After parking her car, she took the elevator up. Following the instructions, she ended up at the administrative service desk on the second floor to claim her prize. After verifying her identity, she filled out some basic information and indeed, received her third place prize. Holding the box in her hands, she was a bit bewildered, “Um, did I really win this prize because of good luck?”
“Of course,” the lady at the service desk nodded, “There were probably tens of thousands of people participating in the raffle that day, and only three could win a prize. You were really lucky.”
“…Thank you.” Lu Weixi nodded, grabbing her phone. She had hardly taken a few steps when she heard a voice echo across the hall, “The President is here.”
Though the Hanhai Shopping Center in Yan City is the headquarters of the shopping mall, it doesn’t represent the Hanhai Group’s headquarters. Qin Zhiyou seldom visited this place. How strange it was for him to be here today.
Lu Weixi wouldn’t delude herself into thinking that Qin Zhiyou’s appearance was in any way related to her claiming her prize here. There were several days to claim the prize, and it hadn’t taken her more than half an hour from parking to accepting the prize. It was practically impossible to travel from the Hanhai Group’s headquarters to the shopping center in such a short time.
But since he had arrived, and Lu Weixi had nothing else to do, she sauntered to the railing in the center of the second floor and looked down.
At just one glance, she felt it would have been better if she hadn’t come at all.
Staff were already busy paving the way and clearing up the area below. Then Qin Zhiyou appeared, walking in front, dressed in a crisp suit, his hair neatly combed, exuding a handsome and cool demeanor that was nevertheless steady and composed. Behind him, beside Secretary Wang, there was a large group of senior executives. It seemed they were shooting something.
Only, the person interviewing him was Liu Yiyi.
It’s been almost two months since Liu Yiyi was brought down for being a diva. Her show was canceled, and the odds of her being a spokesperson were pretty much nonexistent. The television station had deliberately shelved her for a while, it was a surprise to see her being brought again by Qin Zhiyou.
The situation below turned a bit chaotic as the course of the interview ran into a minor star being embraced by Qin Zhizha. He did not care about the interview at all, and came up smiling, “Isn’t this my brother who’s really good at getting things? Hmm, is this our new sister-in-law? How inattentive of me. I just saw my elder sister-in-law a few days ago, and so soon I get to meet the younger sister-in-law. Tsk, tsk, my brother is really having all the luck, being flanked by beauties.”
The camera was immediately switched off, fortunately it was not a live broadcast, so Qin Zhizha’s ramblings would be edited out.
Qin Zhiyou, knowing that he was just trying to embarrass him on purpose, gave him a casual glance and chose not to explain.
As for Liu Yiyi, in the past, she would have lost her temper at these small-time actors, and might have gone teary-eyed facing wealthy playboys. Now, she just turned off her microphone, asked the cameraman to pause, and said seriously, “Sorry, sir, we are in the middle of an interview. If you have any issue, can you please wait until we’ve finished our work?”
From above on the second floor, Lu Weixi watched and silently evaluated. Liu Yiyi seemed much more steady now, focused, her face devoid of any arrogance or frivolity. Even after being demoted from a main host to a small journalist, she seemed unfazed. She didn’t get flustered in the face of embarrassment and responded logically..
