The person who stopped Qin Shen and spoke to him at this moment was none other than Qi Yan.
She appeared to be knowing her place at the banquet. But in fact, she was constantly on the lookout for a new target that could rival those backing Xiang Yi Mo.
She chose Qin Shen while selecting her new target.
Just when she was contemplating how to approach Qin Shen, she happened to see a young lady of a wealthy family instructing the waiter to drug an alcoholic drink and then bring the drugged alcoholic drink to Qin Shen for him to drink.
It was said that the young lady fancied Qin Shen after coincidentally knowing what Qin Shen looked like.
Before this incident, she had been courting Qin Shen for a long time using all sorts of means. However, Qin Shen was unmoved by force or persuasion.
So, this young lady was really at her wit’s end. Hence, she planned to go for the whole hog if she were to do it to ensure that there was no turning back for him.
Qi Yan watched the situation unfold and had a plan in mind. She planned to use the discovery of this matter to ingratiate herself with Qin Shen. If she was lucky, she could gain an advantage from the drug.
Therefore, she had been waiting for an opportunity to strike, rushing to intervene before that lady took any action.
Plastering on what she thought was the most perfect mask, she appeared before a man to show him how kind-hearted and beautiful she was.
Except that…
She could never have imagined that the man would not appreciate it at all.
Qin Shen’s sweeping gaze was icy cold like it was wrapped in frost, while his voice was even colder as he bestowed the other party with two words, “Get lost.”
Since Qin Shen was young, he had always been sensitive to how others looked at him, so he remembered a rough guide of the number of people who longed for him at the party just now.
Not to mention that at that time, Qi Yan’s imperative look was laced with greed and calculation. He had a knack for having highly retentive memory, and even if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been able to forget.
Moreover, his discernment was always excellent.
It was as if one glance was all it took to discern the other person’s true nature.
Therefore, a disguise like Qi Yan’s, which she thought was impeccable, seemed rather ordinary and botched to Qin Shen.
Without thinking much about it, he had a clear idea of what the unfamiliar woman in front of him was like.
At this time, in the long walkway, there were only Qin Shen and Qi Yan. The executive assistant following Qin Shen had been instructed by Qin Shen to do something early in the party and had yet to return.
“What I said is true, you ……”
Qi Yan bit her lip reluctantly. She tried hard to think of what to say to impress him. However, she was so stupefied by Qin Shen’s cold eyes that she swallowed her words as if she was mute.
As Qin Shen’s attitude was always so cold, he recalled the comments saying that the chairman of Zhishen Technology was aloof from birth.
Qi Yan was also unable to determine Qin Shen’s mood at this moment.
However, if Executive Assistant Zhao–Qin Shen’s trusted aide and someone who knew Qin Shen very well—was present, he would notice Qin Shen’s eyes that were so dark as if they were hiding some kind of snowstorm, as well as the faint impatience in his eyes when he looked at Qi Yan.
He would know how angry Qin Shen was and how disgusted he was.
Qi Yan’s instincts told her not to speak again. But she had always been overconfident and felt that she did not know when the next time would be if she did not seize the opportunity at hand.
When Qi Yan thought of this, she repressed the apprehension and inexplicable fear in her heart and softly called out to the man, “Mr Qin….”
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Shen took out his mobile phone and dialled Executive Assistant Zhao’s number.
A light ringing tone rang not far away, and Executive Assistant Zhao, who happened to have finished with his business, rushed over.
He saw a woman pestering his boss while his boss, Qin Shen, had an icy aura around him. The air around him was freezing as if one could get frostbite just from one glance at him.
Executive Assistant Zhao’s heart thumped.
Shit, which imperceptive blockhead is messing with his boss?!
