"Thank you, President Lin!" Lydia expressed her gratitude.

Quin nodded lightly, glanced at Fade, and then stepped into the venue of the gala.

Fade and Lydia followed her hurriedly. After showing their invitations, they entered the venue of the gala together.

A lot of people had arrived at the venue and were already chit-chatting with each other.

A group of women had gathered around and were discussing something quietly. They seemed very enthusiastic. Fade also saw Lily Wei's figure among them.

Lily tried to get along and talk with the group of women. When she saw Fade entering, she came over to him with a glass of wine. She smiled and said, "Where were you the whole time? Quin has been looking for you forever."

"I met a friend." Fade pointed to Lydia and then told Lily what he had just said to Quin.

Hearing this, Lily also couldn't help but scan Lydia from top to bottom with vigilance.

Fade noticed. He coughed and changed the topic, "Hey, Lily, what were you girls talking about just now?"

Lily waved her hand and said, "I was just partaking in the conversation with them. The group of people were gossiping about a couple they saw in the washroom just now. They were making out right in front of them and were so loud that it was almost like a live show. It was all gossip, so boring."

When Fade heard what they were talking about, he nearly blew up and blurted, "We didn't make out in front of them, and we didn't move very much. We weren't even making out in the first place." Seeing the change in Fade's expression, Lily felt a little strange and said, "What's wrong with you? You look weird."

"No, nothing. Perhaps it's a little stuffy!" He changed the topic. "Lily, I didn't attend the company's appraisal some time ago. Can you fill me in with the current situation?"

Although Lily wondered why Fade was suddenly interested in the products, she told him about the situation of the appraisal a few days ago nevertheless.

Generally speaking, the professionals in the appraisal group gave a high evaluation for Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's products. However, the leader of the group, Team Captain Wang, also the director of Capital City Cosmetics Association, had yet to express his opinion. This made Lily and Quin a little worried.

While Fade and Lily were chatting, Lydia gave Fade a wink and then left on her own quietly.

After about 15 minutes, the lights in the venue dimmed, leaving only the spotlight at the center of the stage. The host immediately announced the beginning of the party.

The bosses of several cosmetic companies who had joint ventures came up and gave a brief speech on the stage. Then, they said loudly, "Now, may we invite the members of the Capital City's appraisal team! Welcome!"

There was a round of applause at the venue. In the spotlight, more than 20 people emerged from behind the stage.

The last one to come out was a middle-aged man with a big belly, who looked like he was in his fifties. As soon as he appeared, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

Following that, the middle-aged man began to speak. It was a boring, meaningless and scripted speech. However, every now and then, there was applause from the audience. The atmosphere was very lively. Seeing this, Fade couldn't help frowning. Lily introduced Fade in a low voice, "That's Damien Wang, the leader of the appraisal team and the director of Capital City Cosmetics Association." "So he has the final say. No wonder everyone is so enthusiastic!" Fade couldn't help but curl his lips.

Finally, almost half an hour later, the long-winded and annoying speech from Team Captain Wang finally ended.

Following that, it was a free and easy session.

Although it was a free and easy session, in fact, it was the time for major cosmetics companies to inquire about the appraisal results and to build rapport with the appraisers.

Of course, there could also be some shady activities going about. That was what Lydia was hoping to capture secretly.

The scene was very lively. Almost every team member from the appraisal team was surrounded by people from various companies. Of course, Team Captain Wang had the most people around him. People kept coming forward to offer him drinks and greet him.

Team Captain Wang seemed to be a little arrogant. In the face of everyone's toast to him, he would just nod slightly and raise his glass. Occasionally, he would take a sip, which was considered a great honor. Quin and Lily of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc didn't get involved in this kind of chaotic and crowded situation.

However, at this moment, Team Captain Wang, who was surrounded by the crowd, suddenly walked over to them with a glass of wine.

He went straight to Quin, smiled and said, "President Lin, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become more beautiful!"

"Thank you, Team Captain Wang!" Quin chuckled.

"You don't have to be so polite. You can just call me Damien. If you don't mind, you can also call me Brother Wang." Damien Wang looked very friendly. Then he raised his glass and said, "President Lin, here's a toast to you."

Everyone's expression changed when they saw such a scene.

They all wanted to propose a toast to Damien. However, in the end, the most they got was a sip from him. But now, Damien took the initiative to talk to Quin and made a toast to her.

They could not help but sigh at the biased treatment.

Of course, as they sighed, they inevitably expressed their doubts and debates in whispers.

"From the looks of it, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc will definitely pass the appraisal this time. The allotment will be theirs."

"Haha, I wonder what drugs Quin, that b*tch gave to Team Captain Wang."

"That's right. Maybe they have even slept together, hmph!"

Hearing these harsh comments, Fade's face fell and he was about to lose his temper.

However, Quin and Lily looked at Fade and stopped him gently.

Then, Quin smiled and raised her glass, saying, "Since Team Captain Wang thinks highly of me, I'll drink first to show my respect."

As she spoke, Quin raised her glass and gulped down a glass of red wine.

Damien saw this and smiled. He also drank up his glass of red wine. After that, he did not leave, but poured another glass of wine instead. He raised his glass again and said, "The toast just now was to the quality of President Lin's products. Now this glass of wine is for President Lin's wise management of the company. Here's to rapid growth for your company."

After saying that, Damien waved his hand to the waiter and poured almost half a glass of red wine for Quin.

Looking at his demeanor, Quin's face changed slightly. Although she was good at drinking, it was obvious that Damien was going to make her drunk!

Seeing this, Lily stepped out with a smile. She raised her glass and said with a smile, "Team Captain Wang, President Lin can't drink as much. I'll drink it on behalf of her."

With this, Lily drank up the glass of wine.
