Dongfang Liuyun rarely appeared in public like this, but this did not mean that she was not well known. In fact, the legend about her was far from being comparable to Dongfang Rou’er’s.
This was also one of the reasons why Dongfang Rou’er was very unwilling to give in to Dongfang Liuyun!
The two of them were clearly on par in strength. She did not know why Dongfang Liuyun had more charisma than her, making it easier for people to respect her. Although she was also very loved by the servants at home, this was not what she wanted!
What she wanted was the respect and admiration that Dongfang Liuyun could easily get without any effort!
As Dongfang Liuyun stood there, people below were already exclaiming in surprise. Of course, it was not only because Dongfang Liuyun did not need to deliberately show her noble beauty, but also because of her legend!
“Isn’t that Dongfang Liuyun?”
“It’s Dongfang Liuyun. Last time, I saw her attending the antique chamber of commerce with President Gan!”
“God, she is indeed as beautiful as a deity. I heard that she is very knowledgeable about those rare ancient calligraphic style. I just got a rubbing of inscription not too long ago, and I’m looking for an expert to help me study them.”
“Get her! She is still working at the research institute. I met her when I went to get the identification results not long ago!”
“Wasn’t she abroad all these years? Why did she suddenly return to the country?”
“She returned to the country a long time ago. She was a lecturer at University A for a period of time and is now a visiting professor at University A. Although she no longer works there, she still has a title. I wonder how University A managed to hire her. But I advise all of you not to trouble yourselves, she won’t accept anything related to the industry recently. She’s probably back to take over the Dongfang Group.”
The people below were already discussing Dongfang Liuyun. Naturally, when these words entered Dongfang Rou’er’s ears, they made her feel like ice-cold and hard thorns were piercing into her ears one after another, this made her subconsciously clench her fists and coldly look at Dongfang Liuyun who was standing on the stage.
Dongfang Liuyun could not be bothered to pay attention to her. At this moment, she began to slowly say—
“Good evening, everyone. I am Dongfang Liuyun, the person in charge of tonight’s program. There was a small accident just now that caused everyone to be shocked. I am very sorry. We have already made appropriate arrangements. I, Dongfang Liuyun, will fully compensate for the shattered auction items. Of course, we have also obtained our President Qi’s understanding, thank you! Now, our auction will continue. In order to express our apology, I am willing to auction off another Ming dynasty ancient jade ring. Our auctioneer will introduce the details to everyone later!”
After that, everyone cried out in surprise, followed by applause!
Soon after, the lights landed on Qi Lei, who was sitting at the back. Qi Lei also smiled and waved his hand tacitly…
The tense atmosphere just now instantly collapsed. Everyone was naturally very interested in the item that Dongfang Liuyun had brought out.
Dongfang Liuyun quickly left the stage and the auction continued!
It was as if the accident just now had never happened.
“Manager Yun, thank God for your quick wits!”
Ding Xiaoling herself was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. As soon as Dongfang Liuyun walked down, she went up to her and said somewhat nervously.
“How’s the model?” Dongfang Liuyun asked very calmly.
“I’ve already sent someone to send her to the hospital. According to the preliminary results, she should have sprained her ankle. Sigh, this time, we were really too careless. She might be a newcomer who has never been on such an important show before, so she might have been a little nervous,” said Secretary Ding helplessly.
“It’s not her issue. I looked around on the stage just now and found this. Take a look.”
Dongfang Liuyun took out the two transparent glass beads from her pocket and handed them to Secretary Ding.
Secretary Ding reached out to take them. Her face was filled with shock as she stared at the glass beads for a long time—
“Manager Yun, you mean that someone threw this on the stage and the model stepped on it, causing her to fall?” Secretary Ding asked.
“I can’t rule out that possibility. Investigate this matter properly. Do whatever you need to do. Be quick. Also, tell that injured model not to spew nonsense. Understand the situation clearly and give her some corresponding compensation. Be careful of your actions,” Dongfang Liuyun instructed swiftly.
Hearing this, Secretary Ding paused for a moment. She thought for a long time before replying, “Alright, I’ll get someone to investigate immediately. However, I feel that this matter is definitely targeted at you, Manager Yun. There must be someone who doesn’t want you to finish this event perfectly, so they made a move in secret. According to my analysis, it’s very likely that it’s Rou…”
“Enough!”
Secretary Ding’s words were suddenly cut off by Dongfang Liuyun. Secretary Ding was shocked, but she quickly stopped speaking and looked at Dongfang Liuyun silently.
“I don’t want to make any guesses about this matter now. You need to investigate it immediately. I only believe in evidence. Perhaps the matter isn’t as simple as we think. If we have a preconceived notion, it’s inevitable that we will be misled by others. So, find the evidence and prove to me who did this. Also, before this matter is clear, forbid the discussion within the company. Otherwise, let them pack up their things and leave! The Dongfang Group cannot have people casually spreading rumors.”
Dongfang Liuyun spoke straightforwardly and decisively. Ding Xiaoling thought carefully for a moment and understood Dongfang Liuyun’s intentions. At this moment, she could not help but admire Dongfang Liuyun’s thoughtfulness.
“There are only a few reporters invited today. Be careful not to let them write about it.”
After some thought, Dongfang Liuyun instructed again before walking forward.
“Okay, Manager Yun. It’s almost at the end of this event. Tonight’s event is pretty good. I saw that a few of the companies below are already secretly asking about our new product.”
“Well, as long as the quality of our new product is good enough and attractive enough, we don’t have to worry about not having a market. The next thing to do is to do our best to promote it. That’s not my problem.”
Dongfang Liuyun finally felt slightly relieved. Over the past month, she had spent a lot of effort on this event, right now, all the major media and advertising walls outside should also be doing their best to promote the launch of the new product. Tomorrow will be the first day of sales, so they would have to see how the sales would go.
“Well, Manager Yun, you should take this opportunity to have a good rest. President Gan will probably let you watch over the South River Project Cooperation. I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”
Ding Xiaoling was someone who knew some inside information, so she felt sorry for Dongfang Liuyun.
“Well, you too. You have all been very busy recently. After the event this time, you should rest for a day or two.”
