Chapter 223: Jiang Sui has outsmarted someone again!
"That's Qiao Weiwei. My God, she's wearing a high-end luxury brand gown worth millions."
"That woman was already quite pretty, but wearing this million-dollar haute couture gown made her look even more stunning. No wonder she was able to captivate Zhan Yanxun, that aloof Buddhist monk."
"That's for sure. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. Wearing a million-dollar haute couture outfit will elevate your style by several levels. But Zhan Yanxun is really generous to her."
"What's going on now? He's out with his wife on one hand, and on the other hand, he's having his mistress wear a million-dollar haute couture outfit to show off. What exactly is Zhan Yanxun thinking?"
Jiang Qianhui looked at Qiao Weiwei, not expecting that she would actually wear the dress she had given her to the party. Indeed, shamelessness is invincible.
But a genuine product is a genuine product. The design and cut are much better than the high-quality replica she wore before. Wearing a genuine product makes one look more elegant, so she thinks she can be presentable.
Qiao Weiwei presented the champagne to Phillips and said in a sweet voice, "Mr. Phillips, this champagne was specially prepared for you by President Zhan as a token of his best wishes for a successful collaboration. Please enjoy."
Phillips looked Qiao Weiwei up and down, then asked Zhan Yanxun, "Who is this elegant young lady?"
Wearing a million-dollar haute couture gown, no one would guess she was just a lowly hotel employee, so Philippe asked her a question.
Zhan Yanxun frowned, wanting her to leave.
Qiao Weiwei spoke first: "Mr. Phillips, I am the chief secretary, my name is Qiao Weiwei."
"A secretary? I didn't expect President Zhan to have such a beautiful secretary by his side."
Phillips smiled and picked up a glass of champagne, while Qiao Weiwei presented another glass of champagne to Zhan Yanxun.
Zhan Yanxun had no choice but to drink this glass of champagne, because it would be disrespectful to refuse it in front of Phillips.
But to her surprise, Zhan Yanxun coldly replied, "You are my secretary, not a hotel employee. Serving drinks is not your job."
If Zhan Yanxun didn't drink her wine, she would be the one who lost face right now.
Qiao Weiwei said pitifully, "President Zhan, I accidentally bumped into the hostess who was serving drinks just now."
The hostess injured her foot, and time was of the essence, so I quickly came to deliver the drinks in her place.
Zhan Yanxun said coldly, "The hostess is injured, so the hotel will naturally arrange for someone else. There's no need for an outsider like you to fill in. Besides, if you're going to replace someone else, you should do their job properly. There are three people on this stage right now, so why did you only bring over two glasses of wine?"
Qiao Weiwei did it on purpose. She deliberately poured only two glasses of wine, wanting to embarrass Jiang Qianhui, and also wanting to compete with Jiang Qianhui on stage while wearing a million-dollar haute couture dress.
Jiang Qianhui was wearing casual clothes, while she was wearing a million-dollar gown. To others, the difference in their social standing was immediately apparent.
But she didn't expect that Zhan Yanxun would not drink in front of Phillips and would even nitpick at her.
Qiao Weiwei was at a loss and could only pitifully apologize repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, President Zhan, I'm so sorry."
At this moment, Zhan Yanxun ignored her and instead held up the wine glass to Jiang Qianhui, saying, "Since there are only two glasses of wine, you should drink the one from the Zhan family."
Zhan Yanxun personally served Jiang Qianhui a drink. This was the first drink at the collaboration party with the Hawke Casper family, and it was of great significance.
Phillips drank one glass, and then gave the other to Jiang Qianhui, further emphasizing Jiang Qianhui's status as the hostess.
Qiao Weiwei was so angry that she almost lost control of her expression. If Jiang Qianhui drank this cup of wine, she would be the one who would lose face, and she would really become a servant serving wine.
When Jiang Qianhui saw Zhan Yanxun, he suddenly handed her a drink.
She dared not drink the wine he offered, especially since she was pregnant; how could she drink alcohol?
"President Zhan, the first drink at the cooperation banquet should be between you and Phillips. I, as an outsider, have no right to drink it."
She actually refused the wine he offered her in public, and Zhan Yanxun's eyes darkened.
“You are my wife, how can you be an outsider? It is precisely because of the first drink at the cooperation banquet that you are qualified to drink it.”
Zhan Yanxun spoke in a gentle and refined manner, but his eyes were extremely cold, as if she would be disrespecting him if she didn't drink the wine, and he would lose his temper if she did.
"President Zhan, you should drink this glass of wine."
Jiang Qianhui didn't care whether he lost his temper or not; she couldn't drink this glass of wine.
"You won't even drink the wine I poured for you myself?"
Just as the two were arguing, Qiao Weiwei stepped forward and said in a seemingly obedient manner, "President Zhan and President Jiang, so many people are watching. If neither of you wants to drink, why don't I drink instead?"
Qiao Weiwei snatched the wine glass. She didn't want to be a stepping stone for Jiang Qianhui. What would it mean if Jiang Qianhui drank the first wine in their collaboration with Phillips? She had already divorced Zhan Yanxun. Why should she drink this wine, especially since Zhan Yanxun personally served it to her?
Just as Qiao Weiwei was about to drink it, Jiang Qianhui stopped her.
"Secretary Qiao, you're carrying the Zhan Group's child. Aren't you afraid of harming the baby by drinking?"
Upon hearing Jiang Qianhui's words, Qiao Weiwei froze and said in a panic, "Seeing President Zhan and President Jiang refusing each other's offers, I was afraid that Phillips would be dissatisfied, so I wanted to drink it to resolve the company's potential crisis, but I almost forgot that I was pregnant."
Qiao Weiwei quickly handed the wine glass to Zhan Yanxun.
"President Zhan, recently, many of our staff have been poached by President Jiang, and the rest of us are doing the work of ten people. I was so focused on solving the company's problems that I forgot I'm pregnant and can't drink alcohol. You should drink this."
Zhan Yanxun took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Phillips said with a smile, "President Zhan, you are truly blessed."
Jiang Qianhui watched as Phillips suddenly fell into deep thought, and then...
Suddenly, he looked up at Phillips and said, "Mr. Phillips, do you believe in fortune telling?"
"Face reading? I've heard about face reading in Country A for a long time, and I'm very curious. Can you read faces?"
"I know a little bit about it, I can show you."
"Really? That's wonderful. I never knew you could read faces."
Jiang Qianhui carefully examined Phillips's face and palm, then looked at him with a slightly serious expression and said, "I've made my judgment, but are you willing to hear the truth?"
"It's alright, please go ahead and tell me."
Phillips is very interested now.
"Your eyes are bright and clear, your forehead is square and prominent, you have the 'Fuxi bone' on your forehead, and your temples are full. This is the sign of great wealth and nobility."
Phillips was very happy to hear this, but Jiang Qianhui said solemnly, "However, you have a black mole on the bridge of your nose and your children's palace is sunken. You will face a calamity in your life, which is the loss of your child in middle age."
Jiang Qianhui's words instantly shocked everyone present.
