Stepping into the main place, Ling Qingyu's group paused and scanned around. It was so huge, filled with hundreds of tables.
She couldn't bear to estimate the number of guests. Quite unimaginable in her opinion. Those invited to the auction or banquet weren't simple characters.
Unless they had great influence and wealth, Shen family wouldn't lay a glance. The past Ling Qingyu had never received invitation to similar events hosted by the big and powerful families before.
Her wealth unattainable by many ordinary people displayed nothing in front of the giants. But Ling Qingyu reckoned it was likely her network and foundation which didn't attract the attention of big shots.
Her reason was simple, because she saw many wealthy individuals whose net worth was several tis lower than hers. Or, perhaps this was the first event hosted by Shen family, they lowered the requirents.
In any case, in the most chaotic and poor Province, she still discovered there were large numbers of rich individuals. She didn't dare guess the situation in the wealthier region and the capital.
While her thoughts raced through several aspects, only a few seconds passed in reality. Yang Qingyue pushed Ling Qingyu gently with her arm and gestured her head toward the right.
Ling Qingyu followed her gaze and saw Mr. Shen, who sent her the invitation a week ago, walking in her direction. She paced forward and saw him stretching his hand out.
She shook hands, released her grasp quickly, and greeted. "Mr. Shen. Long ti no see. It's been a week since we last t."
Although handshakes ant nothing, Ling Qingyu wanted to avoid contact with n unless necessary or a close one. But at public occasion, it was better to not embarrass the host.
"Ms. Ling. I don't need to tell you but I'll say, you're a fairy now. You captured the lilight of the banquet. I'm even worried whether the event will go smoothly." Mr. Shen said with a chuckle; his eyes glanced at Yang Qingyue on the side.
"Oh, forgive for not seeing you. Welco, our respected chief. Your presence shines our event."
"Hmm." Yang Qingyue humd coldly in response. She didn't want to bother talking with a man whose eyes only laid on Ling Qingyu.
Ling Qingyu's face darkened. What was the matter with Sister Yang's answer? Could you be so perfunctory?
Mr. Shen was puzzled but as soone with a keen social ability, he laughed and cracked small jokes. Afterward, the man personally brought the group to the front of the stage under everyone's eyes.
He left reluctantly after Ling Qingyu and the girls took a seat. The rumors were true. She and Chief Yang were very close, closer than the sisters sharing bloodlines.
To be frank, he had discussed with his old man, the possibility of arranging marriage between him and Ling Qingyu. Such a perfect woman with parallel talent, every man would be a sage if they didn't desire her.
Both of their backgrounds weren't bad and he thought except for fewer contact with Ling Qingyu, his status matched hers the most.
The old man and he planned after this banquet, he would strive for her heart but things changed. Ling Qingyu's act of donating 1 billion without any reluctance and additional funding of the police force, poured cold water over his head.
Spending over 2 billion within a few weeks easily showed Ling Qingyu's wealth. Although it was hard to estimate the exact amount, Mr. Shen and his father could co up with a rough number.
Ling Qingyu should have at least 5 billion free cash at her disposal. This amount of money was terrifying even for their rich net worth. They decided to postpone any plan for Ling Qingyu and wait to see her actions a few months later.
Another surprise was Yang Qingyue's relationship with Ling Qingyu, disrupting everything he had planned for. Ling Qingyu's support for the new police chief also made the Shen family think twice on which officials they were supporting.
Ling Qingyu's sharp eyes and talent proved there must be a reason why Yang Qingyue was selected. Every other family thought the sa way. No one knew the reason was very simple—she liked Yang Qingyue and couldn't bear to let her girl face failure.
...
Ling Qingyu's group sitting around the table attracted attention, especially when Ling Qingyu was personally led toward the seats by Mr. Shen himself.
It appeared there were separations among the wealthy elite circle. The third-rate belonged to a net worth of a single-digit billion individuals and many artists in the entertainnt circle.
The second rate belonged to 10-50 billion net worth, which was the range Ling Qingyu should belong. Famous artists were also in the criteria.
First-rate displayed the most wealthy lists of Province N. Over 60 billion yuan of net worth. They were both rich and powerful. Kings and queens in the entertainnt circle, famous across the entire province or reaching nationwide also belonged to this category.
Super-rate stayed above and only belonged to big powerful families like Shen and Xia. The seats were arranged according to the ratings and the closer to the stage, the more powerful the individual represented.
Moreover, her group was placed at the forefront of the entire hall, where officials and big people in the elite circle were eligible to sit. But no one thought Ling Qingyu's group didn't deserve the arrangent.
Yang Qingyue's official title and Ling Qingyu's previous huge spending had raised their status to the peak. But, they weren't the focus; Ling Yunxiang was watched by everyone.
Initially, she wasn't noticed hidden among several beauties. But Mr. Shen's presence caused more people to observe and discover her existence.
Her black material news had spread around the entire country thanks to the big guy, she sohow offended without her knowledge.
People discussed about her recent events. For the riches, sotis spreading gossip was considered a recreational act to spend the ti.
Yet, this ti, fierce murmurs were exchanged. Usually, no one in their circle would bother to care about which artists slept with whom. The entertainnt circle was dirty and troubleso; everyone knew.
Nonetheless, Ling Yunxiang's event was strange. Even though they knew she likely offended soone to spread malicious news, everything about her had disappeared since yesterday and only good news and whitewashing were spared, as if soone powerful had taken action.
So black fans attempted rumors and smashed more dirty water but they were soon overturned. Those posts were quickly deleted and the accounts were banned.
There had been news for those who were reluctant to give up had their devices hacked as warnings. So even lost important files and data.
A few refused to give up and tried to black to express anger. As a result, their devices were really done for and no longer worked. People began to fear and stopped their malicious actions online.
Whether the news received was true or not, Ling Yunxiang's na reached the top search box. Many were curious about who was helping her, for a small artist to offend a bigger opponent.
The event attracted relevant departnts to investigate the trace and found none. The special cyber division was even toyed around till everyone gnashed their teeth and almost slamd the keyboard. Although their suspicion was quickly drawn toward those related to Ling Yunxiang, there was no evidence to ascertain or point out any culprits.
Now, the individuals around had so guesses, as their eyes landed on Ling Qingyu's figure. Everyone discovered Ling Yunxiang has a true backing. Although Ling Qingyu's presence around Ling Yunxiang didn't prove their conjecture, people believed their intuition.
But no one spoke too much about Ling Qingyu or dissed her. First, they weren't sure. Second, it was none of their business. Third, they had long wanted to teach these abusive people online a morable lesson a long ago.
If Ling Qingyu was the culprit who ssed around the internet because of Ling Yunxiang, everyone would stand up and clap for her.
