Chi Mu Jiu, the eldest daughter of the Chi family, is a well-known figure in the business circle and a candidate for inheriting the family business in the future. The Chi family has no male heirs; after the first wife passed away due to illness, the head of the family remarried. Thus, he has two wives, each of whom bore him a daughter. Chi Mu Jiu is the legitimate daughter of the family head and his deceased wife, and she has been under scrutiny since childhood, with high expectations placed upon her.
Ye Jue quickly reviewed Chi Mu Jiu's background in his mind before speaking with interest. "Chi Mu Jiu, Miss Chi, it’s a pleasure to meet you. The outside world claims that the eldest daughter of the Chi family is a true beauty; seeing you today, I must say those rumors were understated."
His gaze fell on Chi Mu Jiu, filled with curiosity and admiration.
"You flatter me; I’m merely somewhat attractive," she replied candidly, showing no signs of shyness. "But Mr. Ye, you are quite handsome yourself. No wonder you are known as the heartthrob among countless socialites and wealthy women."
Ye Jue is the head of Ye Group and has already reached the pinnacle of the business world at a young age. He is a formidable presence in the entire business circle, monopolizing ninety percent of the market in the city, with influence that runs deep.
Wherever he goes, people regard him with respect and awe. According to various sources, the Ye family's rise to prominence in the business world overnight was due to a partnership with an even more mysterious figure. The specifics of this collaboration remain unknown; its very mystery only heightens curiosity and reverence for Ye Jue and Ye Group.
Some say this enigmatic figure belongs to one of the most powerful families in the country; others claim it is a big shot with military connections. Regardless of which rumor is true, they have elevated Ye Jue and Ye Group's status even further.
As the head of Ye Group, Ye Jue possesses an astonishing business acumen and keen insight. His decisions in the commercial realm always allow him to seize market opportunities swiftly, propelling Ye Group to even greater heights.
However, despite Ye Group's immense power, Ye Jue himself remains very low-key. He seldom appears in public and dislikes media interviews. His business wisdom, personal charm, and support from that mysterious figure have made Ye Group a shining star in the business circle.
Entrepreneurs across the city are filled with curiosity and respect for him.
"These are just rumors; don’t take them too seriously. At tonight’s banquet hosted by the Ye family, I wonder if Miss Chi will grace us with her presence," Ye Jue said with a smile, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with anticipation beneath his gold-rimmed glasses.
"Of course, I appreciate it very much," Chimu Jiu replied without hesitation. She had left behind an exceptionally handsome man just to fly to the Ye family banquet.
She knew that the two women at home would not sit idly by; this banquet was the perfect opportunity for Chi Qiyun to cling to the powerful, and she had to be there to deal with it.
She looked forward to seeing them at the banquet. It was said that this was the first time the Ye family was hosting an external banquet, and they had only invited the direct descendants of prominent families.
Ye Jue was quite perceptive; he could tell there was more to her words, yet he did not ask Chimu Jiu for her thoughts.
Chimu Jiu nodded, a hint of an elusive smile appearing on her face. She truly couldn't wait to witness the upcoming spectacle.
"It’s been enjoyable chatting with Miss Chi. Please take a good rest; I still have some work to finish up," Ye Jue said with a touch of apology in his smile.
"Alright, you go ahead," she replied.
Ye Jue politely nodded, and once he saw Chimu Jiu respond, he turned his attention back to his work.
Chimu Jiu also turned her head to find a comfortable position and continued to sleep, unaware of when she had actually fallen asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was because the flight attendant gently called her.
The plane had landed.
Beside her, Ye Jue had already stood up and was preparing to exit the cabin. Noticing that Chimu Jiu was awake, he asked politely, "Are you ready?"
