Watching so many local wealthy and prominent capitalists co to attend the banquet, Lin Yue’s friends from high society couldn’t help but express their amazent.
"No way, it’s only been two months since we last t, has Yue Yue’s status in the capital circle really risen so high?"
"Look at her, chatting and laughing with the richest man and other magnates like that. My father wouldn’t even dare to dream of such a thing."
"Goodness gracious, her husband is really sothing, eh? Just a short while without seeing him, and all these big shots are so respectfully giving Yue Yue face!"
"Her husband hasn’t even arrived, and I can already feel the strong influence of his social presence!"
All of her friends were born and raised in elite capital circles and had ingrained ideas of superiority and inferiority concerning the strength of capital magnates within the circle.
Seeing these individuals whom even their own fathers would respectfully greet, such as the wealthiest man and others, engaging in conversation with Lin Yue on equal terms and even slightly leaning towards flattery, was quite shocking for them.
They were all well aware that the rapid rise of Lin Yue’s status was certainly not due to her own qualifications, because even her father was just a mid-level mber in the Shanghai Comrce Association.
One could only say that so many big shots from the capital circle ca here today to support Thunder, and that should probably be credited to the man behind Lin Yue.
Inside the bustling venue, as so people were chatting with each other, they noticed a man.
"Isn’t that Zhang Jun?"
People who recognized Zhang Jun identified him.
At this ti, sothing seed to have happened to Zhang Jun, he looked sowhat dejected, and his beard was unkempt.
After entering the venue and seeing the security guards approach, he gestured placatingly with his hands, "Guys, don’t get upset, I’m just here to say a couple of words to President Lin, don’t worry, I’m not here to cause trouble."
Then, he nervously looked around the venue for Lin Yue.
Spotting Lin Yue talking with several wealthy individuals, he walked over, but before he could get close, he saw Guo Yunfan, Ye Wei, and a few others swiftly step in front of him.
Zhang Jun, looking ingratiating and with a forced smile, said, "Just a word or two with President Lin will do."
Lin Yue saw Zhang Jun and from a distance, through the space between Ye Wei and the others, heard him say with a despondent face, "President Lin, can you take off my hands the goods I have? I don’t want half the market price, I’ll sell them to you at just 30%!"
Lin Yue was quite surprised.
To be honest, the other party could have simply resold it to other dostic and foreign trading companies.
At 70% of the market price, or even at 50%, there would be those who would take the risk to take it off his hands.
Because the profit margin in the difference was too large.
Therefore, Lin Yue had no reason to refuse.
She nodded, "Go talk to the procurent departnt of my group."
Zhang Jun took a wine bottle from a tray held by a waiter, filled his glass to the brim, then raised a toast to Lin Yue, downing it in one gulp.
"Thank you."
Having said that, he bowed slightly and then turned to leave.
In a corner, Lin Yue’s friends watched Zhang Jun’s desolate figure leave, expressing their lantation, "Chengjun Corporation declared bankruptcy yesterday."
Jiang Xue was curious, "Wasn’t his uncle working for a foreign trade agency? With that kind of connection, couldn’t he help him?"
Liu Yuan, being an insider, said, "He was transferred away!"
"What!" the won exclaid in shock, "When did that happen?"
Liu Yuan replied, "When their company announced bankruptcy yesterday, I inquired through my father’s connections, and found out his uncle has been transferred to another Qingshui Yan, anyway, he can’t help Zhang Jun anymore."
Soone imdiately started gossiping, "What’s going on here? Is this a coincidence or a purge?"
Liu Yuan said, "Do you think it’s a coincidence that he was transferred away just when Zhang Jun needed him the most? If it were a coincidence, Zhang Jun wouldn’t co here offering to sell to Lin Yue at 30% of the market price!"
In reality, Liu Yuan had mixed feelings about Lin Yue’s mysterious husband, being the only one aware of the marital relationship between Lin Yue and Gu Feng.
Initially, to help Lin Yue, Liu Yuan would occasionally add a touch of mystery to Lin Yue’s husband in their social circle.
She would hint that he was ’sowhat capable’ but would say no more.
But now it seed she didn’t need to make any effort to promote Lin Yue’s husband anymore.
Even the power her husband was showing now far exceeded her wildest expectations!
Take for instance the sudden transfer of Zhang Jun’s uncle. Using her father’s words, who ranked two levels below Lin Yue’s uncle, "It’s an impossible coincidence. The departnt he’s been moved to is clearly ant for an early retirent. Considering his uncle’s performance and age over the years, he wouldn’t retire so soon unless he had offended soone and was being purged!"
Recalling her father’s words and seeing Zhang Jun’s proactive offer to sell to Lin Yue at 30% of the market price, she understood he was trying to save himself!
A last-ditch effort to ensure he could make a coback in the dostic business circle without being suppressed in the future.
To make sure his uncle and relatives still in other departnts weren’t implicated.
He had no choice but to concede to Lin Yue.
Only then would he have the opportunity to start anew and nurture a new beginning.
Otherwise, the other party had the power to prevent him from registering any sort of account!
While Liu Yuan was pondering, two people entered the venue.
Jiang Xue said, "Isn’t that Yue Yue’s brother Lin Yu? And who’s that man next to him? He looks quite handso. I’ve never seen him in the circle."
Liu Yuan took a closer look, "That’s Lin Yue’s husband!"
