Chapter 374 Digging a Hole for Yourself

The troublemaker had already left, and Secretary-General Song looked at Liang Liangwei with great interest, but asked Yan Zhixu, "Mr. Yan, who is this...?"

Yan Zhixu: "My girlfriend."

Liang Liangwei smiled slightly and said, "Hello, my name is Liang Liangwei."

Secretary-General Song politely extended his hand to her: "So you are the girlfriend that Mr. Yan just mentioned. Hello, Ms. Liang. My surname is Song. I am quite familiar with Mr. Yan. Welcome to the party tonight. I hope you have a good time here."

Liang Liangwei shook hands with him lightly, then turned to look at Yan Zhixu, somewhat surprised.

Did he mention her to someone in the meeting room?

"I had a great time, thank you Mr. Song."

Secretary-General Song then returned to the stage to preside over the reception.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there was a slight unpleasant incident earlier, and I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment. However, it has been handled properly, and the individuals involved have been asked to leave. Now, let's begin the second round of dance music. Those who wish to join in the dance can continue to enjoy themselves to the fullest!"

The guests cheered and applauded.

A new dance tune began.

Xiang Ting smiled and winked at Liang Liangwei: "Won't you dance a song with Mr. Yan?"

Liang Liangwei turned her head to look at Yan Zhixu: "Can you dance?"

Yan Zhixu glanced at the dance floor and saw that several couples had already gone in.

He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I'm not very good at it. Do you want to jump?"

Liang Liangwei wasn't disappointed at all. Instead, she acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and with a slight twitch of her lips, she said, "Never mind, I don't really want to."

If you don't really want to, would you say "never mind"?

Yan Zhixu grabbed her as she turned to leave and said, "Take me with you, and I'll dance with you."

Liang Liangwei raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"

Yan Zhixu: "Confirmed."

Liang Liangwei pointed at his feet: "Don't step on me. I quite like these shoes. If you get them dirty, you'll have to pay for them!"

Yan Zhixu chuckled softly. She must have forgotten that these shoes were originally prepared for her by him.

"Okay, I'll make you as many pairs as you want."

Do you want to compensate for all the pairs? Does this mean you're already prepared to trample on her?

Liang Liangwei smiled, took his arm, and asked Xiang Ting, "Are you and Mr. Wen still going to dance?"

Xiang Ting: "I'm a little tired after dancing two shows. I'm going to get something to drink first. You guys go ahead. Now it's my turn to admire your dance moves."

Liang Liangwei: "If you see my foot being stepped on, you're not allowed to laugh."

Xiang Ting glanced at Yan Zhixu and chuckled: "...I'll try my best."

Yan Zhixu looked down at his girlfriend, who was eagerly pulling him toward the dance floor. Her eyes were curved and her lips were upturned, making no attempt to hide her excitement, which made him smile involuntarily.

Liang Liangwei dutifully played the role of the dancer, instructing him to place his hands on her waist while she placed her hands on his arm, their other hands clasped together.

Her eyes were slightly lowered as she earnestly directed his steps: "Follow me one step, then another step on the other side, raise your hands and turn around, back, back again, turn half a circle..."

Perhaps it was because she taught him well, and the man studied diligently, that he never stepped on her even once. Gradually, she relaxed and looked up at him.

The man was also looking at her, his dark eyes sparkling like stars, his features sharp and deep. Under the light, he looked like a god descended to earth, incomparably handsome.

She felt like she'd been electrocuted, and her heart inexplicably raced.

Thump~ Thump~

"Was your jump alright?" he asked softly.

Liang Liangwei snapped out of her daze, her pretty face flushed, and she blinked her big eyes, avoiding his gaze.

Feigning composure, he said, "Actually, you can dance, right?"

Yan Zhixu: "I've seen others dance a lot, so I know the steps, but I've never danced with a woman before, so I feel a bit awkward."

Liang Liangwei didn't believe it: "In America, there are always parties and social gatherings, right? There are always women there, right? You've never invited anyone to dance?"

Yan Zhixu's light and nonchalant tone revealed the confidence of a superior: "In cooperation, one needs to maintain a good relationship with the other party, which is why one needs to ask others to dance, but I don't need to."

He glanced around at the surroundings and said, "If I hadn't brought you here tonight, I wouldn't have even been at the party for more than 10 minutes. Usually, I just show my face, then go straight to the study to talk with my business partner, and leave after that."

Liang Liangwei thought about the half hour or so he had disappeared, which was later confirmed by Secretary-General Song to have gone to the conference room. It seemed that this was indeed his usual practice.

"So boring? Inviting a dance partner is such a normal social etiquette, and you're avoiding it!"

Yan Zhixu raised an eyebrow: "You talk as if you often dance with people?"

Liang Liangwei chuckled dryly, realizing the situation was dire, and teased him for digging his own grave.

"I...actually, I don't really like ballroom dancing. When two unfamiliar people dance together, they inevitably have to talk, and they have to think of all sorts of topics. If they can't think of anything, they have to fall silent, which is so awkward~"

Yan Zhixu said casually, "She danced ballroom dances that she didn't like quite well."

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "Girls are naturally more talented at dancing, they can pick it up with just a little practice."

Yan Zhixu didn't press further, only saying, "If you like it, just admit it. I'll bring you here more often in the future, and I'll dance with you."

This is practically a way of coaxing her—"If you like it, I'm willing to dance only with you from now on."

Liang Liangwei smiled at him and said, "Okay~"

The two looked like celestial beings, gracefully dancing on the dance floor, attracting the attention of many onlookers who exclaimed how perfectly matched they were.

Many people took out their phones to take pictures.

Xu Chaofeng, who was hiding in the shadows, noticed this, frowned, and quietly went to Secretary-General Song to explain the situation.

Secretary-General Song glanced around at the crowd taking photos and whispering, and told them to calm down, saying he would handle it later.

A few minutes later, the music ended, and the people on the dance floor dispersed.

Secretary-General Song stepped onto the stage again and said, “Friends, please forgive me for this. There are many important guests at tonight’s reception, people we don’t usually see. We have signed confidentiality agreements and cannot disclose their whereabouts tonight. I just saw that many of you took photos of other guests at the reception, perhaps to keep as souvenirs, but I’m sorry, all your photos must be deleted. Please handle them yourselves.”

“If it is discovered that tonight’s photos have been leaked in the future,” he paused, pointed to the surveillance cameras on the ceiling, his tone slightly solemn and warning, “there are several cameras here, enough to capture the actions of everyone present. We will investigate them one by one and report them to the police.”

The scene erupted in uproar, with many who had taken photos expressing their regret and confusion.

It's just taking a photo, why go to such extremes?

However... since the host had said so, and everyone present was a prominent figure, they naturally dared not do anything to damage their reputation and had no choice but to delete the photos.

Some photos are too precious to delete, but others are too risky to share.
