128: It's important to talk about business

Just as he was worrying, Xu Ning did something astonishing. Everyone was stunned by their dance moves on the stage. Looking at the two's performance, Kadeyafu felt it was unbelievable.

What else does this guy Xu Ning not know? Is he a person or some new type of robot?

Kadeyafu began to feel fortunate that Xu Ning was his ally and not his enemy. This person was truly too formidable...

"Who is that person dancing on stage?" Mr. Makarov asked his subordinate next to him.

The subordinate obviously didn't recognize Xu Ning and stammered, "Th-this... I don't know."

Mr. Makarov said, "Tomorrow morning, I want to see all information about him on my desk."

Standing beside him was a bald middle-aged man who seemed to be on good terms with Mr. Makarov. He asked in a low voice, "Mr. Makarov, he just danced with Miss Talia once, is it necessary to attach so much importance to it?"

Mr. Makarov answered seriously, "You are wrong, Mr. Shaoif. You attended the ball a few days ago. Have you ever seen Miss Talia smile so happily?"

Upon hearing this, Shaoif was momentarily stunned, then understood the meaning behind it.

"Mr. Makarov indeed has unique insight. I had been overlooking this point all along."

"From this perspective, that young man likely has a boundless future."

"Cough cough!"

Just as the two were talking, Kadeyafu secretly rejoiced, quickly gave a light cough, and approached.

He first bowed respectfully, then said, "Respected Mr. Makarov, there is no need to trouble your attendants, I can tell you immediately."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Makarov was intrigued and stopped the person next to him who seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing no one interrupting, Kadeyafu puffed out his chest and said proudly, "He is none other than our new manager of the Malyshev Military Factory, Mr. Xu Ning!"

Mr. Makarov and Shaoif looked at Kadeyafu in surprise upon hearing this, finally realizing his importance.

"Oh? Then, please introduce Mr. Xu and his factory to us."

Kadeyafu replied, "With pleasure..."

...

As the song ended, a blush appeared on Talia's pretty face, whether due to the intensity of the dance or because of Xu Ning.

Xu Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled gently, "It is truly an honor to dance with a celestial being like you."

The audience below gave a warm round of applause, and Talia smiled and bowed in thanks.

Xu Ning also bowed, and then everyone began to disperse, preparing to continue with the other parts of the evening banquet.

Talia hesitated slightly, stood on her tiptoes, leaned close to Xu Ning's ear, and asked, "So, are you willing to dance one more song with me?"

Xu Ning was happy in his heart and was about to agree, but suddenly remembered that he had only been lucky to dance well just now. What about next time?

While hesitating, he inadvertently glanced at Harvey below the stage. The look in his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

It was a look full of hostility.

Xu Ning pretended not to see it, turned to Talia, and said, "Although I really want to dance with the beautiful you again, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Talia's face darkened.

Xu Ning paused for a moment and explained, "However, I am not familiar with classical dance, I only know some modern dance steps."

Talia covered her mouth with her hand and looked at Xu Ning in surprise. Originally, she wanted to ask him why he invited her to dance if he was so unsure, but suddenly she smiled and suggested, "How about this, you teach me modern dance, and I teach you classical dance."

She extended her hands to the rhythm of the music, indicating the space left at her waist, and gently raised her head, saying, "Please put your arms around my waist."

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment. He was very familiar with this movement. Even if he hadn't done it himself, he had seen it many times. So, he took a step forward and gently put his arms around Talia's waist.

Unexpectedly, this embrace made Talia's face even redder. She almost whispered, "No, you don't really have to hold me tightly..."

Xu Ning: "What did you say?"

Talia: "Nothing..."

At first, Talia thought Xu Ning was teasing her, but now it seemed that he really didn't understand classical dance. Despite this, they still had a very pleasant conversation, even though Xu Ning's dance steps were a bit awkward.

There was a segment of popular music during the ball, and it was then Xu Ning's turn to show off his dance skills. After a few songs, he won a round of applause.

The jokes Xu Ning told also made Talia feel very refreshed. As for Harvey, Xu Ning could occasionally see him at first, but later he disappeared.

At the end of the ball, Xu Ning politely handed Talia a business card prepared for him by Kadeyafu and said goodbye to her. Watching Xu Ning's departing figure, Talia lifted her skirt and quickly walked towards the backstage of the ball.

She returned to her dressing room, leaned against the door, panting, eager to share her feelings of the moment with her best friend.

"Jelina, you just can't imagine, I think this time I've really met my Prince Charming," Talia said excitedly to her companion sitting in front of the mirror.

"You said the same thing yesterday," Jelina replied with a smile.

If Xu Ning were here, he would definitely be surprised to find that the female companion Talia was talking to was the person he had helped before.

"But seriously, you need to pay attention to your judgment," Jelina said.

"What's wrong with my judgment?" Talia asked defiantly, but when she saw the scar on one side of Jelina's cheek, she immediately became nervous.

"Jelina, who was so bold as to dare to lay a hand on you!"

Jelina glanced at her and said, "It's not just to help you see the character of that man."

Talia looked confused: "That man?"

Jelina replied, "Of course, the one who danced with you last night!"

Actually, Jelina left the ball after hitting someone and didn't know that the person dancing with Talia tonight had been replaced by someone else, and she still thought it was Mr. Harvey from last night.

"Him?" Talia asked in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

"That's right," Jelina said, pinching Talia's face. "Also, when will you stop being so gullible about what those men say?"

Talia touched her pinched cheek and recalled the wonderful time dancing with Xu Ning. Her mood couldn't help but sink.

She took out the business card Xu Ning had given her, intending to tear it up, but hesitated again, thinking there might be some misunderstanding.

"Jelina, love is truly complicated..."

"Should I also be like you and not touch it?"

Jelina glared at her and continued to remove her makeup, revealing her delicate face.

"Who says I haven't touched love!"

"Oh?" Talia immediately forgot her sadness and looked at Jelina curiously.

"Really? Quick, tell me, which lucky gentleman has captured the heart of our great beauty."

A picture of Xu Ning saving her flashed in Jelina's mind, but she quickly thought of something else, and her face darkened: "Let's not talk about this for now, it's more important to talk about business."
