Chapter 110 2/2

Of course, happiness aside, rationality remained.

Shengquan glanced at Guan Zhao beside her. Even though he appeared calm on the surface, she was sure his mind was not as calm.

Didn’t she see his well-manicured and slender fingers unconsciously stroking the neck of the horse beneath him?

It had to be said that, in terms of appearance, Guan Zhao could indeed be called the most handsome CEO. Even his fingers looked better than others by more than a degree.

Under the sunlight, riding on the horse, he still looked young compared to a few years ago, but his temperament had settled down a lot. Looking at him, a girl suddenly smiled.

Before Guan Zhao could come out of the atmosphere of ‘charging towards the peak,’ he unexpectedly saw Shengquan’s brilliant smile under the sunlight, breaking into the atmosphere of’relaxed and lively.’

On his usually expressionless, beautiful face, a few moments of surprise appeared.

Shengquan seldom saw this expression in him, making her even happier.

Guan Zhao stared at Shengquan smiling under the sunlight, and the beautiful eyes, which were always calm, blinked twice unconsciously.

Seeing that Guan Zhao, who had always been calm, seemed a bit stunned by her smile, Shengquan, with a playful smile, stopped teasing him.

Though teasing him was quite fun,

Sitting on the horse, she tilted her body slightly, patted his shoulder, and said, “Do you remember the first time we met? You said you wanted to make the company the top, known all over the world, the ultimate and unparalleled.”

Guan Zhao naturally remembered.

He just didn’t expect that Shengquan would also remember every word.

Shengquan continued to smile, as if her eyes, containing starlight, had turned into a crescent moon, full of ambition and determination.

“Now, we finally take the first step.”

Guan Zhao looked at her. On his face, which usually had no emotional fluctuations, the lips that were always flat slowly curved into a tiny but existent arc.

His heart beat faster than ever, as if playing notes of joy and ambition. When he looked at Shengquan in the sunlight, his light-colored eyes were full of determination.

Guan Zhao once again made a promise:

“Yes, we have finally taken the first step.”

“I assure you that Xingmang will definitely reach its unparalleled peak.”

006 timely spoke up: [Host’s current career level: 51%]

[Host’s career level has exceeded half; please draw a lottery.]

Shengquan, already in a high mood, reached the peak upon hearing 006 mention the lottery.

But she resisted the urge to draw right away, thinking for a moment before saying to 006: [I’ll draw when I need it.]

“By the way, has the audition started already?”

Shengquan turned around to ask Iwen. Iwen, who had been standing quietly on the side, nodded when she heard the question:

“Yes, it started at nine o’clock this morning, and it’s just been an hour.”

Shengquan dismounted, feeling the slight chill of early autumn. Before she could feel the cold, a coat was already draped over her shoulders.

She turned to the tall man who put the coat on her and smiled in gratitude. “Thank you, Brother Jiang.”

Jiang Lu’s usually sharp features always softened a bit in front of Shengquan. “Do you want to go and see?”

“Let’s go take a look. I want to see; it’s been a long time since I participated in such excitement.”

Shengquan stretched her neck and said, “Receiving guests at home every day gets boring.”

Moreover, based on her understanding of Tu Zhu’s personality, he would definitely show up at the audition on the first day.

Having reviewed all the text and video materials related to Tu Zhu, Shengquan wanted to see him in person, shining.

She turned to look at Guan Zhao, who had also dismounted. “Do you want to come along?”

Guan Zhao hesitated for a second and then said, “I’ll go back to the company.”

Shengquan wasn’t surprised at all. Guan Zhao usually prefers to stay in the office. Today, he came to her house and went horseback riding with her because she had invited him.

Well, there was still progress.

If it were two years ago, he would only come out if she threatened him with company documents.

She invited him a few times, and he agreed.

Shengquan felt quite accomplished about her good relationship with her subordinates. It was far better than dealing with the old skinflint boss in her past life.

Escorted by Jiang Lu, Shengquan boarded her comfortable ride: a helicopter.

It was still a day without traffic jams.

When Wu Ying chose a building with a helipad as the venue for the audition, she really had foresight.

Audition building.

Tu Zhu and his lawyer friend, who volunteered to accompany him, had just gotten out of the car when they heard the sound of a helicopter approaching the rooftop.

They looked up and saw a cool and beautiful helicopter approaching the rooftop of the building.

The lawyer friend, still marveling at the wealthy, suddenly realized, “Damn! Isn’t that Shengquan?”

While there were quite a few wealthy people in Shanghai using helicopters for transportation, this was the venue for the holographic stage auditions that Shengquan was starting. The possibility of it being Shengquan was too high.

Even though it had nothing to do with him, the lawyer friend instantly became excited: “Bamboo! Good luck! If Shengquan really came! She’s known for her sharp eye. If you can impress her, you’ll skyrocket in one step!”

Tu Zhu reacted even faster.

He had always had a great impression of Shengquan, and naturally, he recognized her—the helicopter belonged to Shengquan.

But the glimmer of hope that had just lit up in his eyes extinguished quickly.

“Brother Ma, it’s not as easy as you think. It’s harder than daydreaming.”

“How can you call it daydreaming? This is a beautiful expectation, and I really think it’s possible. As long as Shengquan appreciates you, hey, just thinking about it is beautiful.”

The newly eighteen-year-old boy seemed to want to look up at the steps, but in the end, he slowly lowered his gaze. Despite his young age, there was a sense of duskiness about him.

“It’s not possible. Don’t talk about it.”

“Bamboo…”

Tu Zhu stopped and turned to him. “Brother Ma, I know you mean well, but… I can’t even appreciate myself right now.”

He raised his gaze, and on his once radiant and beautiful face, there was now self-mockery:

“Tell me, with me like this, who else can appreciate me?”

Ma Tong remained silent for a while. Finally, he sighed and lightly patted Tu Zhu’s shoulder. “It will get better someday.”

“But… from now on, just call me Brother Ma; don’t call me by my real name.”
