"Director Huang, you'd better keep a close eye on a talent like Advisor Yang, or someone might poach him."
"That's right. I can see Director Lu, Director Yu, and Director Li are all quite envious."
"..."
Huang Zhongmu smiled and deflected the praise. "You're too kind. Xiao Yang is just exceptional on his own."
Yet, the look he gave Yang Qi was somewhat complex.
Yang Qi was rising through the ranks too quickly.
He no longer needed to make introductions for him; Yang Qi had already built an impressive network and reputation within the industry on the strength of his own incredible abilities.
Yang Qi felt the stares and murmurs from those around him, but his expression remained calm and composed. He politely handled the small talk while continuing to discreetly observe the crowd.
He noticed two people in a distant corner who seemed to be paying particular attention to his group. Their gaze lingered on him longer than anyone else's.
