Xu Fang had just walked out of the graveyard when heard Tang Xi’s words. She clenched her hands and coldly said, “You can reveal what you know to the media.”
Tang Xi sneered. “If I want to do that, I will tell them something exciting, like how the famous actress Miss Xu Fang gained the status that she has today by sleeping with countless men.”
Xu Fang clenched her hands, glared at Tang Xi and walked away.
Tang Xi looked at her receding figure, turned to get into her car and drove away.
…
When Tang Xi got back to the hotel, she tried to contact 008 to ask him to change her face, but 008 gave her no response… so she could only give up and think of how to do what she wanted to do with her own strength.
When she woke up the next morning, she called her home, then called Qiao Liang to tell him about her schedule today, made herself up and left her room.
As she expected, when she opened the door of her room, the management of the Empire Group had been waiting at the door, including those who murdered her. Tang Xi didn’t miss the interesting looks on their faces and raised her eyebrows. Today she didn’t wear the same clothes she wore yesterday but instead had donned a Givenchy suit. She preferred this kind of suit when she was working before. In this style of suit, she looked powerful and… unapproachable.
The people greeted Tang Xi, and made way for her. Tang Xi walked for a few steps and stopped in front of some people. She stared at the sweating middle-aged men, and smiled. “Uncles, why do you look so nervous when you see me? Is it because your recent work performance is poor?”
“President…” They three of them were about to speak, when Tang Xi raised her hand to stop them. She looked at them with a smile and raised her eyebrows. “Let’s go.”
She then walked straight to the elevator. An assistant who was waiting there to press the elevator button for her took a look at her, and bowed to beckon her to enter the elevator. Tang Xi entered it and the others followed her in and stood behind her. A director suddenly said, “Xixi…” Tang Xi gave him a cold glance and he immediately corrected himself. “President, you won’t leave again, right?”
Tang Xi smiled. “Will the company fall apart after I was only away for a few months? Are you so incompetent?”
The executives and directors standing behind her looked embarrassed upon hearing her words. Tang Xi smiled. “But I find that the company operates well during the months I was away, so I think even if I’m not around, the company’s operation won’t be affected, because you’re very capable.”
The executives and directors looked relieved to hear her words. Tang Xi continued, “I’ll leave soon. You know my grandfather has handed the company over to me, so I need to travel to relieve my stress. Please be prepared that I’ll leave at any time.”
“Xixi, you’ll…” A middle-aged man suddenly asked, but before he finished, he hurriedly corrected himself under Tang Xi’s threatening glare. “President, will you still leave?”
Tang Xi smiled. “Director Tang, what are you talking about? I’ve never left. I just take rests.”
When the elevator reached Floor 1, Tang Xi took the lead to walk out and the others followed her out. The people taking the other elevator also walked out and followed behind her forming a large queue.
Tang Xi walked over to the lobby and suddenly stopped. She looked at the person not far away and smiled. “Venus, Steve,”
“Oh my god. It’s really you! I had thought I received a fake call last night.” The handsome middle-aged man looked at Tang Xi in shock. “Don’t worry. I’ll make your room brand-new and Manager He will receive the punishment she deserves.”
Tang Xi nodded, walked over and hugged that man. “Thank you, Steve.”
Steve gladly patted her shoulder and whispered to her, “Welcome back, but… you’ll have a headache soon.” With that, he straightened up to make way for Tang Xi. Tang Xi looked at the journalists who had been stopped outside the hotel by security guards, and shrugged. “I’ve already got a headache.” But she had to face it.
Tang Xi walked outside and the others followed her. As soon as she walked out of the hotel, flashes of light came from every direction and she couldn’t even open her eyes. Suddenly a man appeared in front of her and shielded her behind, protecting her from the limelight. Tang Xi recognized the familiar smell and looked up only to see a strange face. She looked at that man in surprise and he blinked at her. Tang Xi smiled helplessly and said out loud to the journalists. “Any questions? I’ll answer you.”
“Where were you in the last few months when you were not around, Miss Tang?” A journalist asked first.
Tang Xi frowned and looked at that journalist. “I don’t want to publish my travel destinations, because I’m afraid you might go there and then I won’t have any privacy. After all, I’m not an actress, so I think I have the right of privacy.”
The journalist pursed his lips in disappointment and another journalist hurriedly asked, “Miss Tang, it’s said that you had an air crash. Have you heard of this?”
Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, that’s why I sent an email to my family and our company’s shareholders, but even by doing that, I couldn’t stop the spreading of the rumor. But now I’ve showed up, so I think the rumors will disappear.”
The journalist nodded and another one asked, “Since you’ve come back, will you start working at once?”
Tang Xi smiled and looked back at the executives and directors behind her. “You should tell from their looks that I can’t be lazy anymore.” With that, she joked, “I didn’t come back home because I didn’t want to work, but they caught me even though I stayed in the hotel.”
The journalists laughed and one of them suddenly asked out loud, “The bodyguard beside you seemed to appear out of the blue. Do you know him? Are you two seeing each other? Were you with him when you weren’t around? Will you two be married? Miss Tang, is it because of this bodyguard that you managed to move on from the last relationship?”
Tang Xi paused and then smiled. These journalists were really eagle-eyed. How did they discover this?
Tang Xi looked at that journalist with a smile and raised her eyebrows. “I’ll only answer one question of yours, but you asked me so many questions. Which question of yours am I supposed to answer?”
