About five minutes later, Su Heng returned after finishing his call. He walked briskly and sounded slightly anxious: "Liang Qing, the interview has been moved up. We have to leave now."

Liang Qing didn't say much and followed Su Heng into the car. Although Su Heng was in a hurry, he still opened the car door for her as he had done when they arrived. After closing the car door, he walked around to the front of the car and got into the driver's seat.

After fastening his seatbelt, Liang Qingcai asked, "Do we have to give an interview right away when we get there?"

"Well, it was originally scheduled after the banquet, but my sister said that several important business partners came tonight, and we need to continue to discuss cooperation with them after the banquet, so we had to move the interview forward."

Liang Qing nodded slightly.

Su Heng glanced at the rearview mirror twice. "Sorry, the sudden change has caused you trouble again."

Liang Qing didn't take it to heart and replied calmly, "It's nothing. Giving an interview is just part of my job today."

Su Heng paused for a moment, nodded, gripped the steering wheel, and focused on driving.

The studio wasn't far from the banquet venue, only about twenty minutes away. However, because the interview was scheduled earlier than planned, the two of them barely made it.

The two posed for several photos with the media on the red carpet, answered a few questions about jewelry, and shared their thoughts and feelings about participating in the photoshoot. The interview with the model then concluded.

As the two walked backstage, Liang Qing, realizing her work was finished, decided to ask Su Heng what he wanted to say.

Just as she was about to speak, Su Heng's phone rang again, and she had to take her words back.

After finishing the call, Su Heng explained to Liang Qing, "Senior, my sister is being interviewed right now, and I need to go to the main hall to pick up a few clients and take them to the banquet hall. Could you please wait for me at the banquet hall?"

Since Su Heng had said so, Liang Qing couldn't possibly refuse. She had no choice but to agree. She was also a little hungry, so she decided to go to the banquet hall to get something to eat.

Although the banquet hall was large, there weren't many people, so it didn't feel empty.

Under the crystal chandelier, some people were eating with their heads down, some were chatting around, and some were huddled together whispering and joking.

As soon as she entered, many people turned their attention to her, but Liang Qing didn't seem to care.

She walked to the long table laden with food, took a small cake from the dessert station, and went to an empty seat in the dining area. Just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly heard a soft creak of a chair being dragged next to her. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar face.

It turned out to be Qin Zhoumu, whom she had met once before.

Governor Qin had one hand in his pocket and the other on the back of the chair, without any food in his hand. He kept his head down and didn't notice Liang Qing.

After considering the nature of banquets among wealthy families, Liang Qing was no longer surprised that Governor Qin was there.

However, why wasn't it Qin Zhouyu who was sent by the Qin family?

If she remembered correctly, Governor Qin should still be in his senior year of high school. Why was he sent to a social event so soon?

She was lost in thought and did not sit down for a moment, which attracted the attention of Governor Qin.

Just as Governor Qin was about to sit down, he felt someone standing still beside him, so he looked up and glanced at them.

Liang Qing also came to her senses at this moment, and her gaze happened to meet his.

After a moment of surprise, Qin Zhoumu quickly regained his composure and even gave Liang Qing a friendly smile. Then, he took his hand out of his pocket, moved it to the chair behind Liang Qing, pulled it back slightly, and gestured for her to sit down.

Liang Qing nodded to him, expressing her gratitude for his gentlemanly gesture.

After Liang Qing sat down, Governor Qin also sat down in the chair next to her.

"Aren't you going to eat anything?" Liang Qing asked casually, looking at his empty desk.

"I've already eaten." He looked listless and not in high spirits. After a while, perhaps he himself felt it was a bit strange to sit in the dining area without eating, so he explained, "I was tired from socializing, so I came here to hide, but I didn't expect to run into you."

After saying that, he asked again, "Sister, are you here for a business dinner too?"

Liang Qing briefly explained her work for the day to him, saying, "I'll head back after my friend arrives."

Governor Qin nodded with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

It was obvious to everyone that he wasn't in a good mood today, and Liang Qing didn't say much, quietly eating his cake with his head down.

Not long after she finished eating, Su Heng led three people in, chatting and laughing.

The three men were all wearing suits. Two of them looked to be in their thirties and were somewhat overweight. They were chatting with the other man.

Leading the way was a handsome young man, tall and slender, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a black tailcoat.

He listened quietly to what Su Heng was saying beside him, a faint smile on his face.
