If we're talking about social status in this private room, naturally, Yang Hao ranks the highest.
However, this is a family banquet, so when everyone took their seats, it was done according to seniority, and Yang Hao, being one of the younger generation, sat with Li Manni, Zhao Xiaofeng, and others.
Huang Qing was a guest and, in principle, should have been seated near the seat of honor.
But she had no intention of going over to Old Master Kang Jingchun's side, choosing instead to sit next to Li Manni.
In fact, Huang Qing wanted to switch places with Zhao Xiaofeng to sit directly next to Yang Hao.
But doing so, she and Li Manni would be sitting on either side of Yang Hao, which was sowhat like overshadowing the host, so she settled down next to Li Manni instead.
Nevertheless, Huang Qing's arrival still caused so unease among the mbers of the Kang Family.
It was evident that Huang Qing had co for Yang Hao, and she had both the looks and the figure.
"Ms. Huang, what kind of business do you do?" Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Old Master Kang Jingchun, having seen many people in his ti, noticed that Huang Qing was no ordinary person and asked her a question.
"Mr. Kang, I'm in the entertainnt industry — bars, KTVs, and the like," Huang Qing responded.
She didn't ntion Foot Bath City or business clubs directly. These industries often have a sowhat disreputable air to them.
Well, in fact, they're indeed quite unorthodox.
If Foot Bath City and the business clubs were completely straightforward, they would likely be out of business soon.
After hearing Huang Qing's response, Kang Jingchun nodded lightly. Given his experience, he could guess that Huang Qing's industry was likely a grey area one.
Zhao Hongbo and Niu Guo Qiang, who were brothers-in-law, glanced at each other. As n, they probably guessed that Boss Huang was no simple figure.
"Boss Huang, our Lulu works in one of the bars you own."
"In the future, please take good care of her. There are all types of people in a bar, and to be honest, I am a bit worried about Lulu," Kang Huifen spoke up.
What she said ca from concern, as she had been sowhat worried ever since she heard that her daughter was working in a bar.
Although the bars of this era were much different from those of earlier years, they were still sowhat chaotic, and Kang Huifen was afraid her daughter might be disadvantaged.
"Auntie, don't worry,"
"With and Qing here, there is absolutely no danger for Lulu."
"Besides, Lulu only works at the reception, not involving any drinking-related tasks."
Ye Wei took over the conversation, knowing that Huang Qing was not adept at handling such topics.
"Also, the bar where Lulu works is actually owned by Hao. She can change her position at any ti," Ye Wei shrugged. With the relationship between Niu Lulu and Yang Hao, there was no chance she would stay as a re receptionist after returning; a position change was certain, but the favor still had to be attributed to Yang Hao.
"Ah?"
"Lulu's bar is owned by Yang?" Kang Huifen turned her head to look at Yang Hao, the news coming as both a shock and a matter of great relevance to her.
She had intended to use this opportunity to have Yang Hao arrange so work for her daughter, which now beca much more convenient since Niu Lulu's bar was outright owned by Yang Hao.
With that connection in mind, the job position could be changed at will.
Thus, after the initial shock, Kang Huifen's face broke into a bright smile, "Yang, from now on, you'll have to take good care of Lulu!"
"Qing manages the bar; I just put in so money,"
"Since Qing and Lulu are good friends, of course, she will look after Lulu at work," Yang Hao replied with a smile.
At his level, what Kang Huifen or Kang Huimin were seeking had long since ceased to catch his attention.
It fell into the category of things that were of no consequence whatsoever.
However, upon hearing Yang Hao's words, Kang Huifen was delighted, as that assurance was enough; Niu Lulu's work was no longer a worry.
"Lulu, don't you hurry up and toast Mr. Huang and your Brother-in-law... well, Yang," Kang Huifen hastily signaled to her daughter with her eyes.
But after saying "Brother-in-law," Kang Huifen felt it was inappropriate, as Yang Hao had already divorced Li Manshu.
And Li Manni was actually two years younger than Niu Lulu, so in terms of seniority, Niu Lulu should have called Yang Hao "Younger Brother-in-law."
But Yang Hao was much older than Niu Lulu, and besides, at this point, Yang Hao and Li Manni were not officially married; it seed they were still at the stage of being boyfriend and girlfriend, so after so thought, Kang Huifen decided that it was more appropriate for her daughter to call Yang Hao "Yang."
Niu Lulu understood the implications of this toast. She quickly took up her glass and made a toast to both individuals...
After toasting the two, Niu Lulu tactfully toasted Ye Wei, knowing full well that regardless of Yang Hao or Huang Qing, who were high up the ladder, the person who was truly leading her was Ye Wei.
As the saying goes, a local official is better than the distant ones, and so it was vital to have a good relationship with Ye Wei.
"Hao, I'd like to toast you too,"
Once Niu Lulu finished her toasting, Zhao Xiaofeng didn't want to co up short and lifted his glass.
"Brother Feng, you're not being very fair now,"
"Hao just drank; I'll take this one for him," Ye Wei saw an opportunity to make an impression in front of Yang Hao and quickly stepped forward.
"All right, I was a bit hasty," Zhao Xiaofeng said with a laugh, and clinked glasses with Ye Wei.
The dining table really needed soone like Ye Wei. With her present, the previously subdued atmosphere imdiately beca much more lively. Even people like Niu Guo Qiang and Zhao Hongbo, who had the capacity to socialize but were restrained because of familial connections, began to let loose their natural dispositions.
