Both of their expressions were nearly indistinguishable.
Ye, Shaohua.
Chair of the Senate.
The most influential person in the nation, her single vote could even veto the approval articles of the President.
Over the years, everyone knew of Ye Shaohua’s undisputed achievements in scientific research, yet they never imagined that once she decided to intervene in politics, others would pale in comparison.
Not just others, even Tang Qiyun was shocked.
At first, when she involved herself in politics, nobody took her scientific accomplishments seriously until now, when those scrambling to be the Chair of the Senate realized that the one they thought was a mere cat was actually a fierce tiger.
However, it was too late for these people to regret, for Ye Shaohua had not only secured that position, but during the voting, both commoners and officials alike were willing to cast their votes for her.
Countless political enemies tried every possible means to overthrow Ye Shaohua.
Yet in the end, they discovered.
That she was invincible.
Tang Qihang had also seen Ye Junwan, who had rushed over from Nanjing; five years had passed, yet Ye Junwan still remained unmarried.
She was still dressed in an elaborate Western dress.
However, when entering such high society, Ye Junwan discovered not a single woman at the banquet dressed like her; each was wearing a very exquisite qipao.
"Xuanqi, how could you wear such outdated clothes?" Upon seeing her old friend, now married, and clad in a qipao embroidered with plum blossom patterns, Ye Junwan was incredulous, "When did your thinking become like this?"
"Outdated?" Her old friend couldn’t help but glance at her upon hearing this, "This is the latest fashion in Shen City. Chair Ye wore a qipao like this to the international stage just three days ago, and now such qipaos are sold out abroad."
As she spoke, she looked at the Western dress Ye Junwan was wearing and couldn’t help covering her lips with her fan, "On the other hand, Wanwan, why are you still wearing that kind of Western dress? They’re not even worn abroad anymore—they hinder everyday life. Speaking of which, I don’t know what bewitched me before, clearly our traditional qipao looks better. You, you should catch up with the latest trends."
Ye Junwan once was Shen City’s leading socialite, with all the young ladies of Imperial City holding her as their paragon.
Back then, everyone wore beautiful Western dresses.
She could never have imagined that one day, these former close friends would tell her, "You should catch up with the latest trends."
Ye Junwan’s face turned pale, now finally understanding why people had looked at her strangely when she had first arrived.
Looking back, those looks were not filled with envy or admiration but with mockery.
"Xuanqi, come and meet Chair Ye," Bureau Chief Xie introduced Xie Xuanqi to Ye Shaohua, "Chair Ye, this is my good-for-nothing daughter, who insists on following in your footsteps. She now stays in the laboratory all day, and after seeing the qipao you wore last time, she immediately had one custom-made that’s nearly identical."
Holding a wine glass, Ye Shaohua nodded amiably at Xie Xuanqi, who was pleasantly surprised by the gesture.
Ye Junqing and Ye Junjin too had once held a high reputation in Shen City. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
