Sirius felt Mu Tingfeng’s inquisitive gaze sweep over him. This feeling was all too familiar, but he could not resist it. He could only instinctively choose to ignore it.

Kirsten did not notice the interaction between Mu Tingfeng and Sirius. He was still talking about Sirius’ outstanding deeds to them.

Sirius’ avoidance made Mu Tingfeng feel that there was something wrong with this person. He retracted his gaze and looked at his somewhat innocent good friend. He asked in a low voice, “He was originally your secretary?”

Kirsten was stunned for a moment. He quickly nodded and said, “Yes, Sirius was originally my secretary, but being my secretary was too much of a waste of talent for him, so I transferred him to a subordinate department later. I didn’t expect him to achieve results almost immediately, and he was promoted to his current position again and again.”

“Oh?” Mu Tingfeng gave Sirius a meaningful, sidelong glance. “Then how did you find out that being your secretary was too much of a waste of talent?”

When Mu Tingfeng said this, not only Kirsten, but Zhao Youlin also realized that something was wrong and turned to look at the two of them.

Kirsten’s expression turned a little ugly, but Sirius remained the same. It seemed that he had expected Mu Tingfeng to ask this.

Kirsten took a deep breath and didn’t immediately answer Mu Tingfeng’s question. Instead, he emphasized, “Mu, Sirius is really capable. I won’t use someone who isn’t capable for no reason, and I won’t use someone from an unknown background for no reason.”

As soon as Kirsten said this, the atmosphere among them clearly changed. Zhao Youlin glanced at Mu Tingfeng, Kirsten, and the others and sighed. She decisively changed the topic. “Sirius looks young. How old is he?”

Kirsten obviously sensed that they were turning against Sirius for some reason. Why did they have to ask for trouble? It was better to move on.

There was a saying a long time ago that it was very impolite to ask a girl’s age abroad. However, Sirius was a man, and he was also from Shalnork like Zhao Youlin, so Zhao Youlin would appear less impolite when she asked this.

Sirius knew what Zhao Youlin was doing, so he smiled and replied in a low voice, “I’m 26 this year.”

“Sure enough, Sirius is so young, but he is already the vice president. The world is his for the taking.”

Sirius glanced at Zhao Youlin and nodded politely. “Thank you for your kind words.”

Just like that, the ship was steered away from the iceberg. The few of them chatted for a while more. As the main characters of the banquet, Kirsten and Madonna naturally could not stay here and only accompany Zhao Youlin and Madonna. After accompanying the two of them to talk for a long time, he got up helplessly and went to greet the others. Before he left, he kept telling the two of them not to go back without saying goodbye. He wanted them to wait for him to finish greeting the guests, for he still had some things to say to them.

Once Kirsten left, Sirius naturally followed him. Mu Tingfeng was not a fan of such social gatherings, but when he thought of how hard Kirsten had tried to persuade him to stay, he endured it. He didn’t get up immediately to leave.

“Are you tired?” Mu Tingfeng turned to look at Zhao Youlin and asked with some worry.

Zhao Youlin shook her head. “I’m not tired. I just feel that there are too many people here. It’s too noisy and a little stuffy.”

Mu Tingfeng frowned and pondered for a moment before suggesting, “Then let’s go out for a walk first?”

Zhao Youlin glanced at Kirsten and his wife, who were surrounded by a crowd not far away. She nodded and walked out of Kristen’s hall, hand in hand with Mu Tingfeng.

As expected, the Blake family’s courtyard was very spacious, and the greenery was rather welcoming. Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng could even hear the sound of insects as they walked in the courtyard. If they did not keep in mind where they were, just by looking at the courtyard, they would have thought that they had mistakenly entered some deep mountain forest.

The quiet courtyard offered people a faint sense of tranquility, which made people unconsciously relax a little. However, because it was too quiet, some of the voices were unconsciously amplified.

“Hey, isn’t this our vice president Luo? Why aren’t you drinking and chatting with the guests inside? What are you doing outside?”

A person’s voice came from the end of the corridor not far away, but that strange tone made Zhao Youlin feel goosebumps creeping all over her body. She frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.

It would be fine if she didn’t look, but when she looked, she realized that the person who spoke was Sirius, who had just sat at the same table with them and chatted with them not long ago!

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other and chose to remain silent. They stayed where they were and silently looked at the two loud people not too far away.

The man opposite Sirius saw that Sirius did not react at all, even after he had talked for a long time. His expression immediately turned gloomy. The gaze he used to look at Siris also became more and more furious. “Luo Ying, don’t go too far!”

Sirius then looked at him indifferently and said calmly, “I still prefer others to call me Sirius.”

The man was stunned when he heard that, as if he had understood something, he laughed. “Sirius? Do you think that just because you changed your name, no one will know about your shameful past? You are too naïve! Luo Ying, your current boss probably still doesn’t know how you were expelled from the San Lilo Academy, Right? You were expelled before you even finished your studies, and it was because of such a major accident. Foreign companies value honesty the most. Do you think your boss would still think highly of you if he learned about this?”

Zhao Youlin and Sirius were far away, and they didn’t notice Sirius’ hands suddenly clenching up because of the other party’s words. They could only furrow their brows in puzzlement.

San Lilo Academy. The name of this academy seemed a little familiar. They seemed to have heard of it somewhere before, and there was also the mention of… a major accident… What kind of major accident could cause the school to expel a student so decisively?

The man opposite Sirius saw that Sirius’ face had turned somewhat pale because of his words, and he was delighted.

His manner of speech became more and more sarcastic. “Sirius, what’s there to be proud of? You have conned and stolen your way to your current wealth. When the truth is revealed, you will have nothing. At that time, I would like to see how you can still step on my head and show off, Hahaha…”

Sirius stared coldly at the man in front of him who had grown twisted and deranged from jealousy. Suddenly, he chuckled and said calmly, “He does know.”

“What?”

“Whatever you just said, my boss knows.”
