The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 790 - 805: Dance with Me

The door to the office was pushed open from the outside as they were talking, and Qi Shangyu walked in with one hand in his pocket.

Zhong Li and Assistant Wang quickly stood up to greet him, "Hello, President Qi."

Qi Shangyu nodded, his gaze at Zhong Li filled with a complex expression, "There’s a banquet at noon, both of you prepare to come with me."

"Sure, President Qi." Assistant Wang replied eagerly.

Qi Shangyu glanced at him, his dark eyes full of disdain.

........

Around eleven o’clock, Zhong Li and Assistant Wang went home separately to change clothes, before accompanying Qi Shangyu to the banquet.

Actually, today’s banquet was just an occasion for high society to network; nothing particularly special, just a group of people gathering to chat and talk about work.

Zhong Li wore a beige off-shoulder evening gown, her wavy long hair cascading down her shoulders, her lightly made-up face always wearing a gentle smile.

Qi Shangyu and Assistant Wang were also dressed in formal attire.

The three walked into the banquet together, and many people had already arrived in the luxuriously decorated hall. Not far away, a few people saw Qi Shangyu and smiled as they approached to greet him, "President Qi has arrived."

Qi Shangyu nodded, taking a glass of red wine from a waiter’s tray, and casually chatted with them.

"Is this President Qi’s date for today? I wonder which family she belongs to; she really matches well with President Qi." The flattery was over the top.

The man chatting with Qi Shangyu turned his gaze to Zhong Li, who politely nodded, "Hello, I’m President Qi’s assistant."

The man laughed awkwardly, "I didn’t expect even President Qi’s assistant to be so beautiful."

Qi Shangyu said nothing and continued chatting with everyone.

Seeing that there was nothing much for them to do, Assistant Wang leaned in to whisper to Zhong Li, "How about we find a place to sit for a while? President Qi might not be able to leave soon."

"Forget it, if President Qi needs us later and can’t find us, it wouldn’t be good."

Zhong Li brought the champagne flute to her lips, taking a small sip, her gaze unintentionally landing on Gu Nanxi, who had just walked in from the entrance.

An accompanying woman also entered with him, wearing a white off-shoulder long dress, her pure features adorned with a sweet smile, giving her a girl-next-door vibe.

The woman naturally held onto Gu Nanxi’s arm, to which he offered no resistance.

"What the hell, wasn’t President Gu pursuing you? Who’s that woman?" Assistant Wang couldn’t help but ask, following Zhong Li’s gaze.

Zhong Li retracted her gaze, "I don’t know."

Listening to the conversation behind him, Qi Shangyu turned and glanced towards Gu Nanxi in the distance, "Let’s dance."

"Huh?" Zhong Li was slow to react.

Qi Shangyu signaled for a nearby waiter, placing his and Zhong Li’s champagne flutes onto the tray, "Dance with me."

Zhong Li looked towards the center of the hall where people were dancing, "President Qi, I’m not very good at dancing, maybe I should sit this one out."

"If you don’t know how, I can teach you."

With that, Qi Shangyu took Zhong Li’s hand and headed towards the center of the hall.

Assistant Wang watched them, then glanced over at Gu Nanxi’s direction, wondering why he suddenly felt like some drama was about to unfold.

"President Qi, I really can’t dance well, maybe you should find someone else."
