Chapter 175 - 175 A Different Party
175 A Different Party
It was completely beyond everyone’s expectations that Xia Yan would bring a stranger to the party. Not to mention, He Miao’s outstanding looks made the wealthy ladies whisper among themselves, guessing which family she was from to make Xia Yan bring her here personally.
A woman who often paid attention to online media immediately recognized her and exclaimed, “You’re that He Miao?”
They looked at Xia Yan, then at He Miao. Seeing that the other party had no intention of denying it, the woman incredulously leaned over to take a closer look at He Miao’s face. She then held her arm enthusiastically and asked, “What do you usually use to maintain your skin? You’re actually taking care of it better than me!”
“Yeah, tell us too. We can learn from you. Also, you smell so good. What perfume is it?”
“I heard that you’ve sold perfume online? Did you make the fragrance on your body yourself?”
He Miao smiled and answered their questions one by one. She hinted that they could custom-order their perfume, and they immediately responded.
“Does that mean I can have the world’s one and only perfume? A scent that only belongs to me?”
“I didn’t expect you to have such an ability at such a young age. You’re really a formidable person. I’ll order a bottle from you then.”
“Me too, me too. Oh right, I really like the smell of your perfume. Can you sell it to me?”
The crowd’s enthusiasm almost drowned He Miao out. She had thought that she would have to spend some time selling herself, but she did not expect them to be so enthusiastic. They were very friendly to her, even though her status was not higher than theirs. They did not put on any airs.
As if she could sense her doubts, Xia Yan took the opportunity to explain to her while she was taking a breath from the crowd. “These people’s daily lives are to gather for afternoon tea, play cards, and build relationships for the family. They don’t know how to do business and don’t have bad intentions, but their husbands are all important bosses in the business world.”
“I know, I just didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.” He Miao quite liked this kind of atmosphere. It was better to interact with them than to interact with those who were scheming.
“Of course. What you’re promoting is exactly what they need. If you can really satisfy them, they won’t be stingy with their money and you can set the price as you wish.”
Xia Yan also seemed to like the relaxed atmosphere and said calmly, “Also, don’t think that they don’t care about their family business now. In fact, they’ve been through strict education before they got married. They’re just restraining themselves now. Real aristocrats don’t care about the status of the people they’re dating. The more inferior their status is, the easier it is for them to get close to people.”
He Miao believed her last sentence.
Those who looked down on others when they were in power were often people whose quality was not worthy of their wealth. Even Jing Yan would never look down on the poor because of his status.
“Can I still attend such parties in the future?” He Miao turned her head to look at her.
Xia Yan raised her chin and gestured for her to look in the direction of the madams who were playing cards.
He Miao looked over and saw that they all had warm and friendly smiles on their faces. One of the livelier madams even took the initiative to wave at her.
He Miao nodded and smiled back. Just as she was about to join in their game, an quiet and quick-witted young girl suddenly walked in from the banquet’s main entrance. Her eyes were wide open as she looked around. When her gaze landed on He Miao, she suddenly flashed a big smile and ran towards her.
“You are He Miao? Oh my gosh, you’re even more beautiful than what I saw on the phone!” The young girl held her hand excitedly, then suddenly thought of something. She took the notebook from the butler’s hands and stuffed it into He Miao’s hands. “Can you give me your autograph? I’m your fan!”
He Miao stood rooted to the ground. This was the first time she had met someone who claimed to be her fan. She subconsciously took the notebook and signed her name in embarrassment.
The girl immediately gave her a big hug and smiled sweetly. “Sister He Miao, I’m so happy that you came to our party. It’s great to see you here!”
“You’re…” He Miao looked at Xia Yan hesitantly.
The young girl could not wait for Xia Yan to introduce herself and immediately patted her chest. “My name is Chen Xiang, the Chen Xiang from the company.”
“She’s the sister of Chen Zheng, the CEO of morning fragrance. She’s a devil incarnate,” Xia Yan spoke softly. “Don’t provoke her.”
“Sister Xia Yan, you’re talking bad about me again.” Chen Xiang unhappily held He Miao’s hand and acted coquettishly. “I’m not like that. You can’t believe her.”
The young girl’s body was a little weak, and the arms holding her were shockingly slender.
She seemed to have noticed He Miao’s surprised gaze, and pouted as she said aggrievedly, “Sister He Miao doesn’t like me?”
“I like you.” He Miao admitted with a smile. She had a natural fondness for lively and cute people, and the little girl in front of her was exquisite and cute. It was just that she was too thin. She would look better if she was a little fatter.
