Upon arrival, Su Xiaocai was holding it in her arms.
The party originally didn’t allow pets because so of the guests might be allergic to cat hair.
But Su Xiaocai was a guest of Ji Li.
Ji Li: "She’ll stay in the private room and won’t go out."
Since the young master said so, the waiter had to let it slide.
The so-called private room was just a semi-open area on either side of the ballroom, separated by screens and filled with many chairs.
The upstairs corridor was designed the sa way, providing a convenient setup for the upcoming auction.
In the center of the ballroom, a band was continuously playing soft music. Every guest held a drink, chatting away, and so were gracefully dancing in the dance floor, creating an atmosphere much more relaxed and free than the last party held at the Wu Family.
Su Xiaocai swaggered in with her cat, accompanied by Ji Li.
Naturally, so assud Su Xiaocai was Ji Li’s date, possibly soone significant to him.
A young man with a vibrant and warm smile was pushed forward by his friends and approached Ji Li. "Hello, Brother Ji, is this your wife?"
She looked sowhat familiar and dared to bring a cat in, showing a lot of personality. Wasn’t she afraid those delicate ladies would give her a hard ti?
Ji Li had a half-smile on his face.
Big guts.
These rich kids, with their minds full of nonsense, managed to tie everything to a romantic relationship.
"Haven’t you been following the news lately?"
The young man, wearing peculiar earrings, spoke casually. Upon hearing Ji Li ntion the news, he examined Su Xiaocai closely again.
The more he looked, the more familiar she seed. A few more glances, a quick online search on his phone, and he retreated swiftly.
Su Xiaocai, the kid often praised by his parents.
Why would he provoke her?
Although Ji Li was a successful man, his health was weak, so no one would compare him with their own kids.
Su Xiaocai was different, excelling academically and physically. Lately, parents had been watching the news and looking at their kids with disappointnt in their eyes.
So young, already the owner of a major gaming company, and published an impressive paper that garnered praise from the military’s top brass.
He must be out of his mind to mistake Su Xiaocai for Ji Li’s girlfriend.
"I’m sorry, Sister Su, I’m sorry, Brother Ji, I’ll leave imdiately." He planned to beat up the person who pushed him to probe.
The young playboy escaped rapidly, his inner turmoil all over his face, looking hilariously conflicted and remorseful.
Su Xiaocai: "You seem to have a lot of friends, why are you often alone?"
"They’re just afraid of , so they have to greet politely every ti we et." Ji Li led her to the seat that the Ji Family had specifically reserved for her. "If you want to eat sothing, just ask the waiter to get it. I need to greet the guests and will co back to find you later."
"Go ahead, don’t worry about ." Su Xiaocai petted her cat, sat down, observed her surroundings, and recognized several familiar businessn.
She arrived relatively early, and those who recognized her nodded and smiled, hesitating to co over and greet her.
Su Xiaocai was seated at the host family’s seat at the front. Whether the hosts had arranged it on purpose to ward off interruptions or simply squeezed her in to show importance was unclear.
Consequently, no one dared to approach first, fearing a rcurial young person might suddenly flip out, especially in this image-conscious gathering.
President Hu and Wu Zhaoxiang soon arrived as well. They ca together, each with only a secretary.
Both considered new forces in the tech industry, the older generation hesitant to lose face by seeking out Su Xiaocai for conversation quickly approached them.
A familiar boss jovially greeted them, "Brother Hu, Boss Wu, nice to see you here at this business eting."
"Monkey Head Ghost, are you here to mock deliberately?" President Hu had worked hard for many years and was only formally invited into the tech industry this year,
despite so boost from others, there’s no denying, he indeed had so luck.
"No, who would dare! I’m envious of you guys, earning billions daily from a simple ga company. I wish I had that talent."
The businessman called Monkey Head Ghost primarily developed starship systems.
Usually petty and snobbish, he used to specifically call President Hu to make fun of him every year when business etings were being held.
President Hu thought, this guy couldn’t possibly be sucking up, sothing’s fishy.
"What do you an? You’re saying our company’s small, and you claim it’s not mocking ."
Monkey Head Ghost: "I’m praising you; don’t you get it?"
"I don’t get it." President Hu clasped his hands behind his back: "No wonder you have no friends and always need your secretary to deal with business talks for you. Turns out it’s your mouth; you can’t even speak humanely."
