Gao iqin looked into Yang Yu’s sharp eyes and had the vague feeling of being seen through, which unexpectedly ignited a trace of panic in her heart.
However, she quickly regained her composure, smiling slightly and said, "Mr. Yang, don’t overthink it, I really just ca to broaden my horizons, I have no ill intentions, I swear."
"Wen Yuxing, don’t forget how your cousin Yu Kang died. I don’t care about your womanizing, but rember your place. Not every occasion is suitable for bringing female companions—conduct yourself accordingly," Yang Yu chastised Wen Yuxing before turning and walking away.
Wen Yuxing’s face looked extrely unpleasant, but he didn’t dare to have any objections, at least not outwardly.
He knew how domineering Yang Yu was. Besides, he admitted to himself that he was the one at fault this ti.
Apart from him, no one else had brought a female or male companion inside.
Gao iqin, with an innocent face, said, "I don’t know why Mr. Yang misunderstood , sigh!"
Zheng Yan knew Yang Yu wouldn’t just make baseless accusations, and she quickly asked, "Mr. Yang, that woman..."
"That woman is not right. She is definitely not here just to see the world that simply," Yang Yu frowned, "have soone keep an eye on her, and don’t let her have any chance to be alone."
Zheng Yan nodded, "Understood, Mr. Yang."
All the guests had arrived, and the banquet officially began.
The doors of the hall closed, with the hotel’s security and the bodyguards of the various VIPs standing outside, providing a strong sense of security.
Zheng Yan was the host of this networking banquet. She stood on the stage and began hosting, "Friends from Tianhai City, Xiang Island, and Yangcheng, good evening."
"The purpose of this banquet is simple, to promote business cooperation between Tianhai City and Xiang Island. If Yangcheng is also interested, they are welco to join."
"Now I will send the details of the projects everyone wishes to develop to your mobile phones, so you can find the corresponding guests to network with."
"There are no tricks tonight, just open communication between you all. Once a cooperative intention is confird, you can report it to President Yang Yu."
After receiving the information from Zheng Yan, everyone began to look for their potential business partners.
Qin Busan kept pestering Wen Yufei, making her extrely frustrated. "Mr. Qin, I’m in the film industry, and you’re in finance. Please stop bothering ," she pleaded.
Qin Busan didn’t care at all and chuckled mischievously, "As long as Ms. Wen is willing, I can get involved in the film industry at any ti. Making a movie requires investors, right? I can invest!"
Wen Yufei, agitated by him, blurted out, "You want to invest? I have a movie here that needs an investnt of five billion, would you?"
"Five billion?" Qin Busan’s eyes widened, "Just five billion? Who do you think you’re looking down on? I’ll invest in two!"
Wen Yufei: "..."
Listening to their conversation, Yang Yu almost burst into laughter.
Although Wen Yufei was once the secretary of Wen Yufei, she wasn’t an extroverted person.
This persistent, pestering attitude of Qin Busan had completely flustered her.
Since Wen Yufei didn’t seek help from Yang Yu, he didn’t bother with the matter and continued to circulate the hall.
The Wang family owned a large hotel, so Wang Xinrui directly engaged Zheng Shiyin in conversation.
Their intention to cooperate was straightforward: to joint venture in opening a chain of hotels.
They aid not only at Tianhai City and Xiang Island but also wanted to expand their hotels across major cities nationwide.
No matter if it was the Wang family of Tianhai or the Zheng family of Xiang Island, no one could monopolize the markets of major cities across the country on their own.
But if the two families joined forces, it just might be possible.
Bai Xuefeng was cozying up to Zheng Yan, hoping Zheng Yan could arrange a specialized Jade counter in every major shopping mall on Xiang Island, dedicated to selling the Jade rchandise of the Bai Family.
The others also found their respective partners to collaborate with, and as a result, Yang Yu actually found himself with so free ti, leisurely eating and drinking with Tong Li’er at the buffet area.
If others didn’t already know his identity, they would surely mistake him as so high-society freeloader looking to score a al and so connections.
"The atmosphere is really great," Tong Li’er said with a smile, "except for Fang Qiang of the Fang family who ca by himself, everyone else is young. It’s easy to get along."
"Indeed," Yang Yu agreed, grabbing a roasted turkey leg with his hands and taking a bite, grease saring his mouth, "The food on Xiang Island is quite different from what we have in Tianhai City. It’s nice to try sothing new now and then, but I’d never get used to eating it all the ti."
Tong Li’er mimicked Yang Yu’s way of eating without any concern for her image as a beauty: "This taste is a bit sweet, indeed not very accustod to it."
Because of Yang Yu, no one approached Hua Xiuxiu for business discussions, so she was quite bored.
Seeing the closeness between Yang Yu and Tong Li’er, she couldn’t help herself from making a sarcastic remark: "Zihua, you’re lucky you didn’t take her. With a woman so easy, how many cuckolds would you have to wear? Tell , isn’t that right?"
Jiang Zihua dared not contradict and could only nod incessantly: "Yes, yes, yes."
"Certainly, marrying would likely lead to being cuckolded, but marrying you would be much safer," Tong Li’er teased, grinning at Hua Xiuxiu, "With your looks, unless you pay them, no one would even think of cuckolding you."
"You!" Hua Xiuxiu, enraged, her face twisted in fury, was about to lash out physically but held back after glancing at Yang Yu.
That was soone who could kick a person flying with a single kick; she didn’t dare provoke him.
Tong Li’er walked up to Jiang Zihua and sneered, "Jiang Zihua, you sold to traffickers for 300,000, and you even have the gall to slander , say I cheated on you. How shaless can you be? Do you think because you sold off to Myanmar, and I’d never be able to co back, that you could spread rumors about as you please?"
"He sold you?" Hua Xiuxiu was taken aback. "Is that the kind of person Zihua is? Is that true?"
Tong Li’er responded coldly, "Make him swear. If he dares to swear that what I said is false, then you can believe him."
Hua Xiuxiu turned around, her face dark with anger: "Jiang Zihua, do you dare to swear?"
"Why wouldn’t I?" Jiang Zihua didn’t want to be dumped by the wealthy heiress and quickly raised three fingers, "I, Jiang Zihua, swear to the heavens that I have never wronged Tong Li’er in my life. If I lie, may I die a horrible death and not survive past tonight!"
Jiang Zihua purposefully said "not survive past tonight," for as long as he lived through the night, the curse of the oath would be broken.
Hua Xiuxiu didn’t care about the cunning move he made and huffed at Tong Li’er: "Zihua has already sworn, that ans you’re lying!"
"As expected, he still loves making oaths," Tong Li’er said with a face full of sarcasm. "If the oaths he made to had co true, he would have been dead and mutilated long ago, heh."
"Since he has already taken a deadly oath, you might as well believe what he said. Okay, you can both get lost now, don’t disturb my boss’s appetite."
Hua Xiuxiu was simply jealous, envious that Jiang Zihua’s ex-wife was prettier than her.
If Tong Li’er had been just an ordinary person, she could have bullied her severely, which would have made her feel good.
But Yang Yu was not soone to ss with, so she could only keep her jealousy towards Tong Li’er bottled up inside, "Already a worn-out shoe, still trying to act coy? Humph!"
Outside the hall door, the security guards and bodyguards suddenly saw thick smoke rushing toward them.
They thought there might have been a fire and didn’t pay much attention to the smoke, instead moving forward to investigate further.
The next mont, after inhaling a few breaths of the thick smoke, the security guards and bodyguards’ vision went dark, and they all fell to the ground!
