After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1120: Dehua Energy’s Invitation

Xu Xia didn’t have time to bicker with him, she hurriedly got out of the car and dashed into the elevator.

Outside the press conference on the fourth floor, Lan Zi was already frantic with worry.

She couldn’t reach Xu Xia on the phone, nor could she find her in person. All the reporters were already here, so why hadn’t Xu Xia shown up yet?!

”She’s here, she’s here!”

Upon spotting Xu Xia running out of the elevator, Xiao Gao immediately shouted with joy.

”My dear aunt, finally you’re here!” Lan Zi rushed forward and grabbed her arm. After taking two strides, she suddenly froze, looking at Xu Xia as if she were an alien creature. ”My Miss Xu, are you also trying to align yourself with GAGA?”

Xu Xia looked down at herself—a loose fit men’s shirt, sweatpants, and a pair of high heels. In the rush, she’d entirely forgotten to change clothes.

There wasn’t enough time, and Lan Zi had no choice but to have Xiao Gao swap shoes with her, then tore a tie from a bodyguard to wrap it around her neck, quickly applying a slightly androgynous makeup on Xu Xia.

Xu Xia was tall enough that this getup gave her a somewhat unruly, unisex look—this was the best they could manage.

With a worried heart, Lan Zi gritted her teeth and led Xu Xia into the press conference.

L&L.

General Manager’s Office.

Luo Xiaoqian frowned slightly, ”Dehua Energy? We don’t have any business dealings with them, do we?!”

Dehua Energy was surprisingly offering a hundred thousand to invite her to an event, which greatly shocked Luo Xiaoqian.

Five years ago, when she was at her peak, appearing at an event was still just this price. Now, she had long since faded into obscurity, only recently resurfacing in the news. Why were they offering such a high price?!

Mike shrugged, ”Maybe it’s because of your recent media presence. I’ve heard that this press conference is packed with big names and influential figures from all corners—it seems like they’re spending big.”

Luo Xiaoqian casually placed the invitation on the edge of the table, ”I’ll think about it.”

At this point in time, she wasn’t particularly interested in these kinds of events. Two hours, a hundred thousand, the number was certainly tempting, but for her, money was no longer the main influencing factor.

After Mike left the office, Luo Xiaoqian just opened the file in front of her when the phone on her desk rang.

The familiar number on the phone—it was Jiao Yang!

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xiaoqian decided to answer the call.

”Hello?”

”Are you free tonight?” Jiao Yang’s voice came through immediately.

”What’s up?”

”There’s an event, and I need a female companion.”

Luo Xiaoqian pursed her lips, trying to keep her tone light, ”There are so many beauties at Asia View, are you short of a companion?”

”What if I’m insistent?!” Jiao Yang asked on the other end of the line.

”I’m sorry, I... I have an event to attend tonight.” Luo Xiaoqian picked up the invitation on the table, ”It’s true, it’s a press conference for an energy company, and I’ve already agreed!”

”Dehua Energy?” Jiao Yang laughed softly on the other end, ”Then I’ll see you tonight. The banquet I’m referring to is the same event!”

Luo Xiaoqian was speechless. She was just looking for an excuse to turn him down, so how could it be so coincidental that he was attending the same event?

”I won’t disturb your work any longer, I’ll hang up now!”

Without giving her another chance to refuse, Jiao Yang hung up the phone.

Listening to the disconnected tone, Luo Xiaoqian helplessly lowered her palm and pressed the intercom button, ”Mike, reply to Dehua Company for me, and tell them I’ve agreed to attend the event.”
