That night, in the heart of Jiangcheng, stood Jiangyan Building.
Lights streamed through its glass curtain walls, making it resemble a sparkling crystal palace.
At the main entrance was a wide, curved driveway paved with dark marble.
On both sides, meticulously trimmed bamboo groves and water features added an oriental elegance.
Crimson lanterns, embroidered with the three golden characters "Jiangyan Building," hung at the entrance, radiating a warm and noble glow in the night.
Just then, a luxury car slowly drove into the driveway and stopped at the entrance.
Uncle Wu got out and opened the passenger door.
Jiang Junyi, dressed in a black suit with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, emerged.
He stood in the twilight, his figure like a sword.
Occasionally, a cold glint flashed from his cuff—it was the dark silver cufflink, momentarily appearing and disappearing with the movement of his wrist.
The rear door opened, and a small metal ramp slowly descended.
Uncle Wu had specially ordered this from White Court for the convenience of Young Mistress's travels.
Wan Qingyun rotated her wheelchair and smoothly landed on the ground.
At this moment, her exquisite beauty and aloof, noble demeanor fully bloomed in the night.
A dark night-blue gown flowed like a galaxy, complementing Jiang Junyi's black suit.
The hem of the skirt was adorned with delicate silver thread embroidery, and as the night breeze blew, it shimmered like moonlight scattered over the deep sea, creating rippling waves.
Two small diamond earrings at her ears added a touch of luxurious elegance.
And the simple silver bracelet on her wrist, contrasting with the cold glint of Jiang Junyi's cufflink, seemed to silently declare their relationship.
The servers at the entrance of Jiangyan Building, who were there to greet guests, stood frozen in place, forgetting that they were supposed to park cars.
Jiang Junyi walked behind Wan Qingyun and chuckled, "The servers at the entrance are all mesmerized by you."
"Ah?" Wan Qingyun looked a little bewildered; she wasn't aware of how she appeared.
"Because you are too beautiful," Jiang Junyi chuckled twice.
Wan Qingyun's small face flushed slightly: "This is a public place, let's go in quickly."
"Mm."
Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun slowly into Jiangyan Building, entering the banquet hall.
The hall was about ten meters high, with dozens of crystal chandeliers suspended from the ceiling, their light refracting through layers of crystal, casting brilliant, starlit patterns.
The surrounding walls were covered with ivory-white silk wallpaper, adorned with gilded carved decorations, and ink wash paintings depicting the misty beauty of Jiangnan were hung on the walls.
In the center was an extra-long banquet table capable of seating thirty people, set with gilded bone china tableware and crystal wine glasses, each vessel sparkling under the lights.
One side of the hall featured a full-length French window, with the city lights twinkling outside.
The other side had a slowly flowing water curtain wall, its gentle gurgling adding a touch of liveliness and Zen to the banquet.
The entire banquet hall was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood and flowers, echoing with a melodious guzheng and piano concerto, creating a solemn and elegant atmosphere.
When the two entered, several gazes turned towards them.
Most were expressions of admiration.
Wan Qingyun's hands, resting on her lap, tightened slightly; she was worried if her current appearance would embarrass Jiang Junyi.
"Relax, it's fine," Jiang Junyi noticed this and said softly.
"Mm."
Hearing his voice, Wan Qingyun felt a little more at ease.
Those who could attend this event were not foolish.
Nor would they say anything because of Wan Qingyun's disability.
They understood the saying 'trouble comes from the mouth.'
Moreover, to be able to participate in such an occasion at a young age meant they were certainly not ordinary people.
Unless their brains were completely fried, they wouldn't say a few words just to make their presence known.
Jiang Junyi scanned the room and chose a less conspicuous spot, mainly because there were some desserts conveniently placed nearby.
"Here, have a bite." He took a small cake and brought it to Wan Qingyun's mouth, "Open wide, ah~"
Wan Qingyun was a little helpless; she was already so nervous, and Jiang Junyi was still trying to feed her cake.
"You let me do it myself…" she whispered.
There must be many people in the banquet hall; how embarrassing would that be?
"Woo woo… Wan Qingyun's baby dislikes me…" Jiang Junyi said, feigning a pitiful expression.
"Oh, it's not that… you… oh… eat, eat, eat…" Wan Qingyun said helplessly.
"Hehe!"
Wan Qingyun ate the cake in small bites, her demeanor utterly graceful.
It was clear she still had some reservations.
7:00 PM
"Tap, tap, tap."
The crisp sound of high heels approached, and a beautiful figure in a fiery red gown walked onto the stage.
It was Su Ling.
She showed no stage fright, giving a generous speech:
"Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen."
"Good evening, everyone."
"Tonight, we gather here at Jiangyan Building to celebrate this grand occasion."
"At this auspicious moment, on behalf of Su Corporation, I extend our warmest welcome and sincerest gratitude to all our esteemed guests!"
"Clap, clap, clap."
Thunderous applause erupted from below the stage, giving her ample respect.
"It has begun."
"Mm."
Jiang Junyi stood beside Wan Qingyun, looking at Su Ling on the stage.
"For this banquet, I sincerely thank the Jiang Family for giving Su Corporation such an opportunity."
"Next, let us welcome Miss Wan with our warmest applause."
Another round of applause.
The curious guests looked around, wondering who this "Miss Wan" was.
She could actually represent the Jiang Family in a collaboration with Su Corporation.
"I'm going," Wan Qingyun quietly said to Jiang Junyi.
"Go," Jiang Junyi gently stroked her beautiful hair, encouraging her.
Wan Qingyun took a deep breath and turned her wheelchair to the front of the stage.
It was her request not to have Jiang Junyi accompany her, to face Su Ling alone.
Jiang Junyi looked at Wan Qingyun, who sat upright, with a surge of emotion, feeling as if his daughter had grown up.
All eyes in the hall focused on Wan Qingyun, and upon seeing that she was a young woman with a disability, everyone showed a look of disbelief.
Not to mention the other guests, even Su Ling was taken aback.
Uncle Wu appeared at the right moment, lifted Young Mistress onto the stage, and then quickly withdrew, coming to Jiang Junyi's side.
"Miss Su, hello," Wan Qingyun spoke, her tone neither fast nor slow, yet confident and powerful.
It was her?!
Su Ling was inwardly surprised; this was indeed the person she had met that day in Jiangqing Park.
"Miss Wan, hello."
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this banquet, and thank you for your trust in Su Corporation."
Su Ling's tone softened upon seeing that she was also a woman.
"Su Corporation's reputation and credibility are evident across all industries; I believe this will be the right decision," Wan Qingyun said with composure.
Below the stage, Jiang Junyi frantically tugged at Uncle Wu's sleeve, his expression excited.
"Wow, wow, wow, Uncle Wu, did you see that? Qingyun is so cool, so stylish."
Uncle Wu stood rooted to the spot, allowing his upper body to sway while his lower body remained unmoving: "I saw, Young Master. Young Mistress is truly a heroine."
"I also really like Qingyun when she's serious and diligent at work!!"
"Young Master, you're drooling, wipe it off."
"Oh, oh, oh, sorry."
At this moment, Su Ling was very nervous.
She had no idea that Wan Qingyun would be blind, so signing the contract on stage was naturally impossible.
Su Ling profusely praised Wan Qingyun on stage, and Wan Qingyun's mind raced, guessing the meaning behind Su Ling's actions.
Keep her steady, go get the document changed.
The reason Wan Qingyun did not declare her blindness was also a calculation!
Most importantly, Su Corporation's new product had issues, and Su Ling must be eager to finalize the cooperation quickly, after which she could slowly plan her next moves.
Wan Qingyun would not give her such an opportunity; the pressure naturally had to be maximized, so she smiled slightly:
"Miss Su, can Su Corporation's new product be showcased?"
