Ti flew by, and soon it was evening.
This ti, the Dongdao Group chose the venue for the evening gathering at the scenic hall on the top floor of the Jinmao Junyue Hotel, allowing those who attended the event to also gaze at the distant night view of Lin'an City. It was indeed a thoughtful choice.
At this mont, so guests had already arrived at the entrance of the Jinmao Junyue Hotel, and they were all engaged in conversation with each other. Naturally, the topic of conversation was the host of this gathering, Zhou Jiming.
Regarding the individual who succeeded the position of president of the Dongdao Group, everyone present was buzzing with discussions, with almost everyone eager to see who this so-called Zhou Jiming really was.
Leng Qingqiu's Rolls Royce Phantom slowly stopped in front of the Jinmao Junyue, and soon the car door opened. Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu stepped out directly from the car. After taking a glance at the many guests ahead, they did not linger and headed straight towards the gathering hall.
Tonight, Leng Qingqiu was dressed in a rather formal black suit, adding a touch of competence to her beauty, imparting a notably serious aura.
Having long been honed in the business world, Leng Qingqiu had the ability to discern the nature of any occasion.
This ti, though the gathering held by the Dongdao Group sounded heavily entertainnt-focused, Leng Qingqiu was fully aware that it was fundantally an introductory eting. Zhou Jiming did this to greet and get acquainted with various rchants in Lin'an City.
Precisely because of this, Leng Qingqiu wore this suit to show due respect and also to see what kind of person Zhou Jiming, who took over the president's position of the Dongdao Group, truly was.
Compared to Leng Qingqiu, Lu Yu appeared much more relaxed on the surface. At this mont, he wore the sa rather ordinary suit, looking quite unremarkable with nothing unusual about him.
Despite his calm exterior, inside, Lu Yu took this eting very seriously.
Earlier, both Zhou Xingyun and Zhou Huchen died in Lin'an City. Given this, it was impossible for the Zhou Family to have no reaction at all. Zhou Jiming's arrival, alongside taking over the Dongdao Group, might be an opportunity to secretly investigate the cause of Zhou Xingyun's death.
This was precisely why Lu Yu was taking this gathering very seriously; it was an opportunity to see who exactly the Zhou Family had sent!
Thus, with different thoughts in mind, Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu walked toward the gathering hall, arm in arm.
"Excuse , both of you, an invitation is required to enter this gathering. Please present your invitations,"
Just as Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu arrived at the entrance of the gathering, a man in a black tunic suit with a resolute face blocked their way, speaking quite politely.
This man was the middle-aged gentleman, Uncle Tong, who had accompanied Zhou Jiming to Lin'an City.
"An invitation? Interesting!"
Seeing Uncle Tong's obstruction, Lu Yu thought to himself, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, revealing a playful expression.
Typically, at such large-scale gatherings, there are bound to be so socialites and playboys fishing for rich partners or flirting with girls. Many gatherings do not prevent such behavior, as it precisely enhances the atmosphere of the event.
Now, with the Dongdao Group requiring invitations, it's evident they intended to eliminate such behavior. As a result, the character of this Zhou Jiming becos very intriguing.
"No problem!"
Hearing Uncle Tong's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly, then took out the invitation and handed it directly to Uncle Tong.
Seeing the invitation that Lu Yu handed over, Uncle Tong glanced at it twice, confirming it was correct. A sincere smile appeared on his face, and he said to Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu, "Invitation confird, wish you both enjoy the gathering."
"Thank you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, then he and Leng Qingqiu headed directly towards the gathering's open-air hall.
However, just as Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu stepped into the hall, Uncle Tong's smile suddenly vanished. He took a deep look at Lu Yu's back, his eyes flashing twice with sharpness, and turned to the attendant beside him, saying, "You two continue to check invitations here, I'll step away."
"Okay."
Hearing Uncle Tong's words, the two attendants said at the mont.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Tong nodded, then he walked directly into the venue of the gathering, heading towards Zhou Jiming, who was sitting in the corner.
"Young Master, a formidable person has arrived at the gathering."
Upon arriving beside Zhou Jiming, Uncle Tong spoke in a subdued voice full of respect.
At this mont, Zhou Jiming was sipping a glass of crimson wine, wearing a white suit that perfectly complented his handso features, making him look very outstanding.
"A formidable person!?"
Upon hearing Uncle Tong's words, a hint of amusent appeared on Zhou Jiming's face, and he said while swirling his glass of wine, "It's really rare for soone to be deed formidable by you, Uncle Tong. I wonder who this formidable person might be?"
In his speech, Zhou Jiming's face was filled with smiles, looking at Uncle Tong, his words carried a tone of depth and amusent.
"He is the fiancé of the president of the Victory Group, Lu Yu."
Hearing this, Uncle Tong said plainly: "As he walks, his steps are steady and powerful, his whole body is highly coordinated, and especially, I caught a slight whiff of blood on him!"
"A scent of blood?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiming stopped swirling his wine glass, speaking out, "Uncle Tong, are you sure?"
"I am sure!"
Hearing Zhou Jiming's inquiry, Uncle Tong responded: "Young Master, I have killed nurous people, and I can clearly sense the scent of blood on him. This Lu Yu is definitely not simple and is well worth our investigation!"
In his words, Uncle Tong's attitude was sincere, giving an impression of calmness.
"In that case,"
Hearing Uncle Tong's words, Zhou Jiming drained his glass with a single gulp, then he looked at Uncle Tong in front of him, saying, "I will go and probe this so-called Lu Yu a little later, to see what extraordinary aspects he truly has!"
In his speech, Zhou Jiming's tone was deep, giving a sense of calmness and amusent, as he remarked, "After all, in this era of peace and prosperity, soone who is a formidable person and has a scent of blood is indeed unusual!"
