Chapter 2142: Connections

Yue Yu was stunned.

“Jiaojiao, this… this is the front row…”

Nan Jiaojiao had already sat down, looking up at Yue Yu who was stuck standing in an awkward position, bending over with a face full of panic. “I know, what’s the matter?”

“You know and yet…”

Surrounding them were people of status, either famous celebrities or wealthy heiresses. The two company employees sitting in the most conspicuous spot had already attracted quite a few glances.

Yue Yu was at a loss for words, quietly trying to pull Nan Jiaojiao up. “We can’t sit here, it’s obviously reserved for VIPs. We have designated employee areas, let’s go quickly…”

Nan Jiaojiao pulled her down.

Yue Yu didn’t dare to get up. She was about to rise but was held down by Nan Jiaojiao.

“Relax, we can sit here, no one will kick us out.”

Yue Yu was truly unsure where her confidence came from, still foolishly asking, “Why?”

“Because I’m someone with connections.”

Nan Jiaojiao lightly tapped on her leg, smiling at her.

Yue Yu took a deep breath and, before suffocating herself, exhaled. She had heard those rumors circulating in the company, but she trusted the real interaction with Nan Jiaojiao every day. As long as Nan Jiaojiao didn’t admit it, it was just gossip.

“You…”

Yue Yu’s eyes widened, grabbing Nan Jiaojiao’s hand, she whispered, “Can you really say that?!”

Nan Jiaojiao laughed, “Why can’t I say it? I’m under someone’s protection, no one will chase us away, relax.”

Her confidence was palpable.

Yue Yu had nothing to say, but was still uneasy, her eyes darting around until she noticed Anna and others looking their way. She didn’t dare to check their expressions, forcibly turning away and sinking into her seat, unmoving.

Feeling on edge, until the show started, and the lights on stage dimmed, sure enough, no one came to chase them away. Yue Yu gradually relaxed, frequently glancing at Nan Jiaojiao’s face beside her, perhaps overly calm, as if the venue was her own. Wearing the simplest clothes, she still managed to outshine surrounding celebrities, sitting as if she owned the place.

Yue Yu was influenced by Nan Jiaojiao. Since they were already seated, they might as well stay seated. She never imagined she could enjoy a front-row seat at a show during her lifetime.

Moreover, Sweetheart was indeed an industry giant. When the models came out, the scene quieted down with only occasional gasps.

The New Chinese style national costumes, paired with jewelry, blended flawlessly, as if they were designed together.

Yue Yu was completely mesmerized, her gaze catching sight of a tall silhouette approaching from the side, straight towards the seat next to Nan Jiaojiao.

Curiously glancing over, Yue Yu quickly stood up, “President Pei!”

Pei Dongshi gestured her to sit down, “Stay seated.”

Yue Yu half-rose and sat back down, her body bent like a shrimp, clutching the armrest tightly, nervously facing Pei Dongshi, even though Nan Jiaojiao sat between them, she couldn’t disregard President Pei’s powerful presence.

“You’ve scared my friend.”

Pei Dongshi’s eyelids twitched for a moment, the little girl was staring at him, her gaze calm, inexplicably causing him discomfort.

He then glanced at Yue Yu properly, “Don’t be stiff, just enjoy the show.”

“Ah… Yes, yes…”

Yue Yu stammered, slowly sitting back, her mind feeling as if it had been struck by lightning.

Jiaojiao’s backer…

Is President Pei.
