"Mr. Chen, do you know the owner of the Star Shining Society?" The point wasn’t how impressive this person was, but whether anyone actually knew him. Otherwise, what was the use?
Chen Chong boasted proudly, "Of course I know him. Not only that, I’ve even t him. We’ve had a al together. That owner of the Star Shining Society is a really down-to-earth person. He even gave his phone number and told to call him if I ever ran into trouble!"
"When did I have dinner with you and give you my phone number?" Yang Qi asked with a smile.
"Who are you? I’m talking about the owner of the Star Shining Society!" Chen Chong retorted with disdain, completely missing the implication of Yang Qi’s question.
"Really? I’ve always wanted to et the owner myself. I heard he’s very young, only in his twenties!" Miao Yue said excitedly.
"Mr. Chen, if you have the Star Shining Society owner’s contact info, you should introduce us, too. With his backing, we wouldn’t have to be afraid of anyone."
"Exactly! Yang Qingshan is nothing compared to him!"
The crowd was thrilled, and Chen Chong, as if he had regained all his confidence, said smugly, "What’s all the panic for? Sit down, sit down!"
"Do you have any idea what kind of person the owner of the Star Shining Society is? Do you think I can just hand out his contact information? What if you manage to annoy him? He’d bla too, and then it would all be over. Understand?"
"How about this: the next ti I see him, I’ll ntion you all. Who knows, maybe you’ll get to have a al with him."
Upon hearing this, the entire crowd erupted in cheers.
"Mr. Chen, you’re incredible!"
"If we get to know the owner of the Star Shining Society, what’s Qifei Group? What’s Lin Tao? How dare he act so high and mighty in front of us!"
"That’s right, Mr. Chen! Since you know the owner of the Star Shining Society, just ask him to step in. Is there any business deal you couldn’t close?"
"He’s the most badass person in all of Thunder City right now!"
"Yang Qi, so what if you’re Yang Qingshan’s son? Are you even comparable to the owner of the Star Shining Society?"
Everyone was electrified, acting as if they had already t the legendary owner of the Star Shining Society.
Yang Qi curled his lip in disdain. "A bunch of idiots!"
As for Chen Chong, the topic of the Star Shining Society’s owner made him feel as if he had won back a round, and he couldn’t have been more pleased.
"Waiter, the check," Chen Chong called out. Seeing that doing business with Qifei Group was a lost cause, he needed to hurry back and find another way. He didn’t want to waste any more ti here. In his eyes, this school reunion was completely worthless.
The waiter ca over, smiling. "Our boss has already comped your bill."
"Comped the bill?"
The crowd was stunned, and all eyes turned to Chen Chong. Weren’t they all under the impression that Chen Chong was treating them? Why was the bill comped?
"Who is your boss? I must go thank him. I wonder why he decided to comp our bill?" Chen Chong asked, puzzled.
"Oh, our boss is Ms. Jia ngxue, the legendary business queen. You’ve probably all heard of her. She said her friends were dining here, so she took care of the bill," the waiter explained.
"Jia ngxue!" Chen Chong exclaid.
With the exception of Yang Qi, everyone present was utterly shocked.
To the average person, the na Jia ngxue was even more awe-inspiring than the owner of the Star Shining Society. She was a business queen, and her beauty was like that of a Heavenly Immortal. A woman like that simply overshadowed countless others. Countless n dread of sharing their lives with this business queen.
Chen Chong was one of them.
When he heard that Jia ngxue was the one who had comped the bill, he beca ecstatic. "Well, that’s not surprising at all! I’ve t Ms. Jia on several occasions. I can’t believe she still rembers . I’m truly moved. I must go and thank her. Do you know where Ms. Jia is?"
Hearing this, the crowd grew excited all over again.
"Oh my god, Mr. Chen, you’re amazing! I can’t believe you’re on such good terms with CEO Jia ngxue."
"Then why are you still trying to do business with Qifei Group? You should be working with Ms. Jia! She even comped your bill. It seems she’s got a soft spot for you."
"Exactly, Mr. Chen, you’re about to make it big!"
"Mr. Chen, you have to seize this opportunity!"
"I’m so envious!"
Everyone was more excited than the last. Only Chen Chong was inwardly bewildered. I have seen Jia ngxue before, but only from a great distance. I wasn’t even qualified to get close to her. How could she possibly comp my bill? Could it really be as they said, love at first sight? Has Jia ngxue secretly liked all this ti?
"Hahaha, please, you’re embarrassing !" he said, feigning modesty. "I didn’t expect ngxue to be so thoughtful! Alright, let’s go thank her. I’ll take this chance to introduce you all to her as well!"
It must be said, a shaless person is truly invincible. This Chen Chong was taking shalessness to its absolute extre. To fantasize that Jia ngxue had fallen for him at first sight... it was beyond absurd.
As the others were busy flattering Chen Chong, the rhythmic click-clack of high heels sounded from outside the private room. The sound alone announced the arrival of a woman. Furthermore, its rhythm suggested she was a woman with a powerful presence.
A mont later, two figures appeared in the doorway: one was Jia ngxue, and the other was the manager of Wagang Mountain Village.
"So beautiful!"
The mont they saw Jia ngxue, all the n in the room, except for Yang Qi and Lin Tao, gasped in amazent. Jia ngxue’s beauty was truly extraordinary, on par with even Lin Qingxuan’s. Her aura, in particular—that of a domineering female CEO—was exceptionally distinctive.
The other won in the room felt a suffocating sense of inferiority; they found they couldn’t even et her gaze. To think such a beautiful woman existed in the world; even other won would be consud by jealousy at the sight of her. Miao Yue had always considered herself beautiful, but looking at Jia ngxue now, she wished she could find a crack in the floor to crawl into.
Jia ngxue’s gaze swept across the room.
Chen Chong couldn’t help but get excited. He recognized the beauty as Jia ngxue. She must be here for . He felt a surge of nervousness, wanting to speak but finding himself so flustered he was tongue-tied. He did his best to put on what he considered a gentlemanly smile to welco her.
But who would have thought that Jia ngxue would suddenly laugh before walking right past him and heading toward Yang Qi.
At that mont, Chen Chong’s smile froze on his face. The awkwardness was palpable.
Under the bewildered gazes of everyone present, Jia ngxue sat down next to Yang Qi and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, that wasn’t very considerate of you. You ca to my restaurant without even letting know. I’ve prepared our finest dishes in the best private room. Since you’re all finished here, let’s go over together."
At this, everyone was dumbfounded, including even Lin Tao and Liao Fusheng.
