The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 116: President Gu Wants to See You

Gu Yuan’s words could be heard by everyone within ten meters.

At that moment, everyone who was closely watching this female mogul turned their gaze to the woman beside Gu Yuan.

It was Sheng Yi, who was stealing the spotlight tonight, stunningly beautiful and unmatched.

Upon a closer look at the brooch on Sheng Yi’s chest, they couldn’t help but be amazed—

"I know the Queen of Y Country is a brooch enthusiast. In every outing or event photo, she always wears a brooch. I didn’t expect the brooch Sheng Yi is wearing tonight to be the basket brooch once worn by the Queen of Y Country."

"You have to admire, Sheng Yi is really stealing the show tonight, wearing the rare ESSRB princess gown and donning such a precious brooch."

"With a top-tier mogul like President Gu as a good friend, it’s not surprising she has such a brooch."

"Who dares say Sheng Yi doesn’t have anyone backing her? The person backing her is none other than President Gu."

The surrounding crowd couldn’t hide their envy as they discussed.

Ji Xinyi looked extremely embarrassed. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but it seemed like President Gu gave her a glance, just a single glance, but it lingered on her face for almost three seconds.

Those three seconds made Ji Xinyi’s heart leap to her throat, her scalp tingling.

Only after Gu Yuan shifted her gaze away did Ji Xinyi secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next second, she saw Gu Yuan say something to the director beside her, who nodded and walked toward Ji Xinyi.

Seeing the director coming towards her, Ji Xinyi almost fled in panic, her intuition telling her that this wasn’t good news.

The director came up to Ji Xinyi and said, "President Gu wants you to come over."

Ji Xinyi: "..."

No, she didn’t want to.

If she hadn’t seen Sheng Yi rushing to President Gu earlier, hearing President Gu calling her over would have filled her with overwhelming joy. No matter the reason, it would have been an honor to stand and speak in front of President Gu.

But now...

The distance was only around ten meters.

For Ji Xinyi, it felt as distant as a hundred or a thousand meters. Everyone was watching her, and she became the focal point of all eyes. She didn’t dare refuse and had to muster her courage to walk towards President Gu.

As she got closer, Ji Xinyi forced a proper and fitting smile and greeted, "President Gu, good evening."

Seeing President Gu up close, "heart pounding like thunder" was not an exaggeration.

President Gu was truly beautiful, with looks that would be the pinnacle in the entertainment industry. No one would dislike such features, with facial features possessing a somewhat mixed-race depth, structured and exquisite.

Gu Yuan responded with a faint smile, "Good evening."

Then asked, "What’s your name?"

"Ji Xinyi, Ji as in season, Xinyi as in the flower Magnolia," Ji Xinyi answered very carefully, her tone cautious, yet not ingratiating.

Gu Yuan nodded, acknowledged, and then asked, "Are you confident about winning an award tonight?"

An award...

Even if she was confident, she wouldn’t dare say it out loud.

But then again, the person before her was President Gu, a decisive female mogul who likely wouldn’t want to hear empty words, so Ji Xinyi couldn’t express her ambitions too directly.

So she said tactfully, "President Gu, the drama I just finished airing, ’Night Return’, has entered the competition unit selection of the TV festival."

Though the words were subtle.

The tone carried confidence.

Confidence that she could win an award tonight.

Beside her, Sheng Yi suddenly chimed in, "Wish you all the best tonight, and remember to walk steadily when you go up to receive the award. With such a long dress, if you trip on stage, tomorrow’s hot search will have a different tone."

Ji Xinyi: "..."
