Chapter 331 Mrs. Mu
There were many guests present at the ceremony. Besides the elites from various industries, the
entertainers of FX International Group were the most dramatic. Dressed to kill, they drew the admiring
gazes of men and aroused jealousy in women.
Then some military officers showed up at the ceremony too, which had never happened before. They
were no ordinary soldiers. The epaulettes on their uniform told people that they were of high military
rank. Their appearance provoked spection. People were wondering if FX International Group had
gotten into huge trouble.
Kevin was surprised to see these officers. He wasn''t informed that any officers wereing to the
ceremony. He wondered whether they had been invited or they were here for the matter concerning
Daisy. His heart grew heavy. Then he nodded to the people beside him and walked quickly toward the
officers.
"Army Commander, Commander, why are you here?" Kevin said to his two superiors and then nodded
to the other officers. He frowned at seeing Hank among them and wondered why themander had
brought him along.
"Hello, Kevin. Fancy seeing you here. I was just wondering why yourmander didn''t keep you, the
dark horse, at his side. It turns out that you got here ahead of us. I heard that you did a great job in the
war games." The Army Commander was much younger than the Commander. They were of the same
military rank and their posts sounded simr. But the Army Commander led the group army while the
Commandermanded an army base of the group army. So there was an essential distinction
between their posts.
"Thank you, sir. It''s the oue of the concerted team work of the soldiers. I''m just a member of the
team." Neither the Army Commander nor the Commander answered Kevin''s question. Underneath his
superficial calmness, he became worried. He kept casting looks at the Commander, hoping he could
give him a hint.
"Kevin, you are being modest. Your father hopes you can go back to the capital city. What do you
think?" The Army Commander looked around and wondered why the CEO of FX International Group
invited them to the ceremony. When they were negotiating about the sponsorship for military
equipment, Edward didn''t engage in it at all. During the whole process it was Mr. Rain that had
negotiated with them on behalf of Edward.
As to the reason why they were invited here, the Commander was confused too. That morning, he had
just heard that the CEO of FX International Group was Daisy''s husband. An invitational phone call
came before he could report the news to his superior. He saw Kevin''s inquiring eyes, but he had to
shrug to indicate that he was clueless.
"I talked with my father about it. I prefer to stay in the city," Kevin replied. In the capital city, people
would only regard him as the son of some authority. If he stayed here, he would be away from that
atmosphere, be himself, and lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
"Ow, really? Your father will be disappointed. He looks forward to you going back to the capital city."
The Army Commander patted Kevin''s shoulder significantly. Its implication was self-evident. Back in the
capital, Kevin would have more opportunities to put his skills to good use and get promoted, because
that was his father''s territory, after all.
Kevin gave a faint smile and said nothing in response. He understood what the Army Commander
meant, but he was too proud to rely on his father. It was an approach he loathed. He''d be frustrated,
because his image as a self-made soldier would be shattered, and people would see him as a guy who
got promoted through his father''s connections, and not his own skills.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention? I realize we''re all having fun, so... thank you very
much foring to ourpany''s anniversary ceremony. Now I give you Aaron, the personal assistant
to the CEO. He''s going to address the ceremony, so give him a little apuse." The MC''s sudden
remarks quieted the guests down. Everyone started to look toward the rostrum, and then the room
erupted into apuse.
Aaron hated making long speeches. He felt it a waste of time. But since Edward hated it too and Aaron
was his assistant, he had to do it for him.
"Good evening,dies and gentlemen. I''m Aaron. I''ll do away with the formalities. On behalf of our
company, I would like to thank you for your concern and support for ourpany." Aaron raised his
head to look around, but Edward was nowhere to be seen. He was alwayste for everything.
"This year''s cocktail party will be a little different from previous ones. The model employees will be
awarded a prize and a generous bonus. The special guest who will give the prize to them will be a big
surprise. Be prepared to be amazed." Aaron''s announcement sparked the room into cacophony.
Everybody wondered what kind of novel activity FX International Group came up with this time. Was it
rted to the military? The officers'' arrival couldn''t be just a coincidence.
Jessica''s face darkened to hear Aaron''s words. She assumed that the mysterious special guest must
be Daisy. She pursed her mouth in scorn and thought, ''Edward, how much on earth do you care about
this woman? You have made such a brilliant n for the cocktail party just to introduce her to
everybody. You would think it beneath you in the past. What do you see in her that makes you change
so much?''
Brian sneered at the announcement. He was waiting to see how this woman would amaze the guests.
By her beauty or her identity of Edward''s lover?
"Are you curious about our mystery guest already? Then let''s wee the model employees. If you''d
come up to the stage, please." Aaron seemed calm. but he was actually terribly worried, because
Edward still hadn''t showed up yet. Aaron didn''t know what to do next. This kind of thankless things kept
falling into hisp. He got impatient.
Watching the employeesing up one by one, Aaron felt desperate. Edward had called to tell him
that he was here, but where was he? Aaron hoped that Edward hadn''t run into some snag. Otherwise,
he would be screwed, because he wouldn''t be able to find another important guest in such a short time.
"We all know that our CEO has a cute son. But do you know the CEO''s wife?" Aaron paused. Then he
saw a figure approaching steadily. He exhaled deeply. ''Boss, thank God you''re here. You scared the
hell out of me, '' he thought.
The guests were all intrigued by Aaron''s remarks. Was the CEO of FX International Group really
married? That was the one thing the guests were dying to find out. They all gazed at Aaron and waited
for an answer, but he kept them in suspense. The guests all felt annoyed but couldn''t do anything but
hold their breath and wait.
"Now please Mr. and Mrs. Mu,e to the rostrum to award the prize to the model employees." When
Aaron finished, he felt greatly relieved. The guests shifted their gaze from Aaron to the entryway.
Aaron''s announcement took Daisy by surprise. Sensing everyone was watching her, she paused for a
few seconds, then collected herself and calmly walked in with Edward, arm in arm.
Everybody was amazed to see how perfect they looked together. Daisy was wearing a long white
strapless dress, patterned in diagonals with big sparkling sequins. Her skin was snow white. She
looked like a fairy in that mermaid-shaped dress. Daisy''s fair skin and the dress were of the simr
color. She seemed to be glittering. Together with her aloof bearing, she looked sacred and
distinguished. She walked elegantly and all eyes followed her. The guests gasped with admiration at
her grace.
Edward and Justin were in dark blue mercerized clothing, which served as a soft and elegant foil for
Edward''s perfectly-proportioned sexy figure. The colors and the materials of his shirt, tie and suit
reflected his delicate features and elegant bearing well. Together with Daisy, they became a
picturesque image, having a visual impact on the guests.

Edward gloated inwardly over the dress he had picked out for Daisy. The white color and her aloofness
blended well in a distinctive style on her. Instead of innocence which white color usually reminded
people of, it now set her cold gorgeousness off to advantage, mixed with her upromising and
heavenly temperament. Edward was stunned at her charm.
Before they set off, Daisy wasn''t informed that tonight was the anniversary ceremony of FX
International Group. She was confused when Edward asked her to put on this beautiful dress. When
Tom and Leena indicated that they would see her at night, she was really puzzled. So she had refused
to put it on until Edward exined the reason to her. Aaron''s introduction had shattered her n to stay
low-key. All eyes were on her now. She was even more nervous than when she was facing tens of
thousands of soldiers.
"Mrs. Mu is not only the wife of the CEO, her other role will make the teenage girls scream in
excitement. We all know that there''s a young legendary female colonel in the city, who is an idol to
many young women. However, since the colonel always keeps a low profile, few have seen her. She is
our mystery, our urban legend. People talk about her all the time. Tonight, this mysterious colonel is
right here -- Mrs. Mu! Now let''s warmly wee the CEO and his lovely wife to award the prize to the
model employees.
People started apuding them as soon as Aaron finished the sentence. Meanwhile, someone was
deeply frustrated and resented Daisy even more.
Unusually, Justin behaved himself today. He looked here and there. Hearing Aaron say his parents
were going to confer awards, he let go of his dad''s hand and ran toward his grandparents. Edward and
Daisy were a little bewildered. Seeing the guests around them, they looked at each other and smiled,
which was caught by the media at the scene. They started taking pictures eagerly, making the
affectionate smiles evesting, immortalized.
