Chapter 432: CEO Mo, Nice to Meet You (2)

On the night of the exhibition, Ji Nuan was chauffeured to Hai City’s exhibition center. Right before alighting, she paused to consider and finally removed the necklace on her neck and placed it in her bag.

At the time, the stylist that Xia Tian and Xiao Ba had brought along was carrying several white gold chains with her. As a stylist, she understood the habits of the higher society well. Often, people of Ji Nuan’s caliber would purchase this sort of untouched diamonds to store at home, and when special events came up, they would abruptly pick some to be worn as necklaces. The chains she had brought had a semi-enclosed metal net in the center which the blue diamond could sit on. In an instant, it transformed into a precious, blue diamond necklace.

When she wore it, she was indeed very beautiful.

A ten-carat blue diamond was extremely rare. A blue diamond with this degree of clarity was even harder to find. She feared that wearing this would cause her to be far too eye-catching in a high-profile event like this.

MN Group had risen rapidly to tower over many other corporations in the past few years; it was already the thorn in many people’s side in this industry.

Her recent return would surely draw everyone’s attention. It was better not to be overly eye-catching. Thus, Ji Nuan decided not to wear the necklace.

After she alighted from the car, an employer from the exhibition center checked the invitation in her hands before directing her respectfully toward the red carpet on the other side. The red carpet would lead her to the main entrance of the exhibition.

Ji Nuan smiled and headed in toward the red carpet.

As Xiao Ba had said, much of Hai City’s upper society had changed. Many of the big figures present were unfamiliar to her. Even though there were a few familiar ones, barely any of them recognized Ji Nuan.

All they saw was a woman in a blue gown that perfectly complemented her elegant figure. Her delicate features were lightly accentuated with makeup, and her tender, white skin appeared fresh and spirited under the exhibition lights.

This exhibition center was not a space anyone could visit. Everyone present was either renowned businessmen or wealthy young ladies with strong families backing them. Some of them had met Ji Nuan at previous events and could somewhat recognize her; however, they did not dare to admit it.

In the past, Ji Nuan was already sufficiently beautiful. Right now, as she stood on the red carpet where everyone was vying and jealous for attention, everyone else appeared to have become part of the background. The woman dressed in her blue gown appeared like a resplendent goddess stepping out of a western painting. She was elegant and sensual. The sky-blue color softened her natural oriental beauty, and her fair, tender, and beautiful complexion was the most precious gem in the world.

As one said, a woman’s beauty depended on her temperament and not just her appearance. It was rare to find a woman so outstandingly beautiful on the outside, matched with an unparalleled and resplendent disposition. There was absolutely nothing to pick at.

Even the reporters who snuck their way into the venue with much difficulty could not resist raising their cameras to take a photo of her.

Ji Nuan walked as though there was someone by her side. She was mindless of the attention on her, appropriately and generously offering polite smiles to the people around her. She lifted the skirt by her feet and followed the security officer into the main gates of the exhibition center.

She was neither too early nor too late. She had arrived twenty minutes earlier than the stated time on the invitation.

There was already a large crowd gathered in the exhibition center. In the venue, there was a sizable model of Hai City located right in the center. They had to lean down to see it, and it was almost one kilometer wide. All of the buildings that were constructed or bid by various large companies were labeled.

As she walked through the crowd, various people would greet her. Some were acquainted with her, and some who were not. Regardless, because Ji Nuan’s ranking on the Forbes’ list this year, even those who did not know her beforehand had intentionally researched the MN Group and had seen her photos before.

Ji Nuan smiled leisurely and sincerely to everyone who greeted her but did not say much. At most, she would offer a: “Pleased to meet you.”

At seven in the evening, the exhibition began. Ji Nuan had yet to approach the seat labeled with her company’s logo when all of a sudden, the whispers of several reporters could be heard: “Earlier, I heard someone mention that Shine Group’s CEO Mo has arrived. Quick, let’s go take some photos. Clear images of CEO Mo are really hard to take. Furthermore, he has been in Los Angeles for the past few years. Since his return home, he has never appeared before the media. Quick, let’s go, let’s go…”

The few reporters quietly approached the main entrance. By the time Ji Nuan turned to look at the exhibition gates, a large crowd had already formed there.

On the one hand, Shen Mu was raising his arm to block the reporters from pressing too closely. On the other, he was greeting them with a polite smile and informing them not to take photos as they pleased. This was an official event and not a distinguished celebrity meeting. Reporters were not suited to enter.

By Shen Mu’s side, a quiet, tall, and broad-shouldered figure was the center of attention.

His complexion was cold and handsome, charming as though it had been crafted by God himself. He was perfect in a way that could not be replicated in this world. The man’s suit was well-pressed, and his shirt was buttoned all the way up; not a single hair was out of place. He was quiet, cold, and noble. His gaze was distant and clear, and his tall figure towered above the 1.8 meters tall Shen Mu.

In the eyes of women, this man who always moved with godly elusiveness was mysterious and sensual with his distance. His cold indifference provoked their interest.

In several seconds, this was the man who led the smile Ji Nuan was maintaining to fade slightly.

In the past three years, she never expected that they would one day reunite.

Perhaps, from the day this man began pushing her away, she had already guessed the conclusion. She had thought it would be ten years of separation, or even for the rest of their lifetimes.

Even on the flight home, when she heard about Shine Group’s move from Shen Mu, she did not pause to consider it.

She did not feel surprised seeing Mo Jingshen here, but this was indeed somewhat abrupt.

It had been a long time since she intentionally sought news about him. Nonetheless, she had learned a little from hearsay. For example, in managing his business, Mo Jingshen had grown to become even more ruthless and decisive. He had become even more reticent than he used to be, but just like before, he did all the necessary work and attended all of the necessary business gatherings. He always acted appropriately and never once revealed his own feelings. As a result, the people around him and his business partners were always cautious around him, terrified of accidentally stepping on a landmine and being utterly destroyed by the great Shine Group.

Ji Nuan’s expression did not change much. She directly shifted her gaze away, and as though it was unrelated to her, she headed straight for the seat labeled with her company’s name.

For an instant, she suspected if Xia Tian and Xiao Ba had made such a big fuss about dressing her up because they already knew of Mo Jingshen’s attendance.

Ji Nuan pursed her lip and brought out the bidding document from her bag as she listened to the city leader’s welcome speech. A moment later, she heard more commotion from behind her.

She calmly glanced back and saw that Mo Jingshen had entered this side of the room.

She then looked toward the side and saw that Shine Group’s labeled seat was only separated from MN Group’s seat by one path.
