Crazy! The school beauty's mother works as my secretary!

961 is almost over.

Early the next morning.

Chen Mo and Xia Wanqing share a passionate kiss in the car.

As expected, it became a trending topic.

The comment section exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! What the hell am I seeing?!"

"A scene of the year! A passionate kiss inside a car, that's so exciting!"

Xia Wanqing: Smiles without saying a word. Chen Mo: I'm driving. Netizens: Driving the car of love!

"You said you were just friends before, how can friends be this close? Can friends have a daughter?"

"It's been an open secret both inside and outside the industry for a long time, this is just the last layer of paper being torn down."

Xia Wanqing, one of the parties involved, was sitting in front of her makeup mirror, looking at the trending topics. Her face showed no panic, but rather a calmness that seemed to indicate she had expected it.

Her agent was pacing anxiously beside her: "Wanqing, you need to issue a statement quickly! The internet is in an uproar!"

Xia Wanqing picked up her phone, glanced at the comments, and a smile appeared on her lips: "What kind of statement? Admit it? Deny it?"

The agent was taken aback: "Well... at least give a response, right?"

Xia Wanqing put down her phone and winked at herself in the mirror:

"What's there to respond to? Aren't the facts already there?"

broker:"……"

Also.

Xia Wanqing smiled without saying a word, but simply picked up her lipstick and lightly dabbed it on her lips. The red color was even more vibrant than the kiss in the car yesterday.

Today is the day she's going to attend the film festival.

The red carpet was brightly lit and packed with reporters.

Xia Wanqing wore a long gold dress with a trailing hem, which accentuated her shapely figure.

Her long hair was styled in an updo, revealing her slender, fair neck, and her diamond earrings sparkled, making her look like a queen who had stepped out of a fairy tale.

Her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The flashes went off incessantly.

"Xia Wanqing! Over here!"

"Teacher Xia, look here!"

"Sister Wanqing, can you tell me about your relationship with Mr. Chen Mo?!"

Finally, a reporter mustered up the courage to hand over the microphone and ask the question that everyone was most concerned about.

The scene fell silent instantly.

All eyes were on Xia Wanqing.

Xia Wanqing stopped, turned slightly to the side, and gave the camera a perfectly timed smile.

She did not avoid answering as usual, nor did she give a vague response.

She simply looked at the reporter, her eyes calm and gentle, her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered two words:

"Thank you."

After saying that, she turned around and continued walking along the red carpet, leaving behind a commotion.

"Thank you? What does that mean?"

"Accepting it as a default? Isn't this an acceptance of it?!"

There was still no direct answer, but the frankness in his tone said it all.

……

Meanwhile, at the Crown Group headquarters.

Chen Mo sat behind his large desk, looking at the trending topics on his computer screen, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Xia Wanqing:

[Good performance.]

Xia Wanqing quickly replied with a smug emoji:

Of course, she doesn't even know whose woman she is.

Chen Mo smiled, put down his phone, and picked up the documents on the table.

As the year draws to a close, Crown Group is busy again.

Su Rong was dressed in a well-fitting business suit; she was becoming increasingly conservative in her attire.

Her skirt suit didn't even show her thighs, but the black stockings and high heels still made her look sexy.

She walked in carrying a thick stack of documents, her steps light, a professional smile on her face.

"Boss, these are the year-end summaries and plans for next year that each branch has just submitted. They need your signature."

She placed the documents in front of Chen Mo and then expertly poured him a glass of warm water.

Chen Mo picked up the document and began to carefully review it.

"Is this the real estate department?"

"Yes, we acquired a lot of prime land across the country this year, and we plan to focus on developing several large-scale complexes next year."

"What about the new energy sector?"

"Sister Zhou Yan has completed the development of the new electric car, which is a supercar with excellent performance. It is planned to be launched next year. This will be big news and may very well drive up the group's stock price."

What about overseas markets?

"Mr. Zhang Min has been making great strides overseas, acquiring companies like Facebook. After several years of integration and development, his user base and revenue have grown to an astonishing level, making him a significant force in the local market."

As Chen Mo listened to Su Rong's report, he quickly signed the documents.

The Crown Group headquarters became exceptionally lively in the following days.

Heads of various branches came from all over the world to report to Chen Mo.

After seeing off the last person in charge, Chen Mo rubbed his throbbing temples.

The sky outside the window had already darkened.

He picked up his phone, glanced at the calendar, and realized the year was almost over.
