66: Sudden changes occurred in 0064
After Wang Kun returned to where the young masters were gathered, his expression was unsettled.
He failed?
The others exchanged glances, sensing something was off with Wang Kun.
His face was clearly darkened.
Had the usually successful Young Master Kun finally met a woman he couldn’t conquer, returning with his tail between his legs?
Some found it hard to believe, while others snickered in secret, relishing the rare sight of Wang Kun’s defeat.
Someone approached and asked, “Young Master Kun, how is it going with that beauty?
You don’t seem very happy.”
Wang Kun snorted coldly; he didn’t want to reveal the reasons for his unsuccessful pursuit of Shangguan Hong to everyone.
“Young Master Kun has encountered a difficulty?
I think that woman simply doesn’t know what’s good for her.
No idea where that country bumpkin comes from, but she actually dares to not give a damn about our Young Master Kun, truly a case of a dog that can’t recognize a lion,” one of the young masters said, demeaning Shangguan Hong to flatter Wang Kun, completely embodying a sycophantic attitude.
“That’s right, why should Young Master Kun spoil his mood over a woman?
How about we brothers go out tonight to relax?
I guarantee it’ll satisfy you, Young Master Kun,” another person suggested.
“Get lost.” Wang Kun suddenly changed his expression, glaring fiercely at the man who had demeaned Shangguan Hong.
However, he seemed much more amiable toward the one who had suggested they go out to relax that night.
“Which one of you knows that guy?” Wang Kun suddenly pointed at Ye Qiu, who was standing not far from Shangguan Hong and Shen Mengchen.
Him?
Upon looking in that direction, everyone started to understand why Wang Kun returned with a dark look on his face, as that man was standing right next to Shangguan Hong, and they were even chatting and laughing.
Wang Kun had met a love rival!
Some of the young masters secretly wanted to laugh, but out of fear of Wang Kun, they forcibly held it back.
They observed Ye Qiu, feeling that he looked familiar.
He seemed to have just arrived there, prompting everyone to turn their curious gaze toward Huo Qian, who had been silently drinking alone all this time.
Wang Kun looked over as well, interpreting something from everyone’s gaze—it seemed that Huo Qian knew this detestable guy.
“Huo Qian, do you know that guy?” Wang Kun abruptly asked.
“I do,” Huo Qian replied succinctly, taking a sip of red wine before setting down the glass slowly.
“What’s his name, and what’s his background?” Wang Kun was eager to learn everything about Ye Qiu to prepare for his move.
“His name is Ye Qiu.
As for the rest, I’m not aware,” Huo Qian responded indifferently.
Is that it?
The rest?
Wang Kun was all ears, waiting to hear more, but Huo Qian offered just that.
“Huo Qian, you had better tell me everything you know.
Don’t play dumb with me,” Wang Kun’s tone chilled slightly.
Huo Qian’s gaze was unyielding as he replied calmly, “If you don’t believe me, you can check for yourself.”
Seeing Huo Qian’s defiant attitude, Wang Kun was taken aback.
It was his first time witnessing Huo Qian so adamant, openly challenging him in front of everyone.
“Haha, fine, I’ll check it out myself,” Wang Kun said without going into detail.
His eyes lingered on Huo Qian for a moment before he left with a cold air.
Though Huo Qian’s background couldn’t compare to the Wang family, he was not to be underestimated in the business arena.
Especially in recent years, the Huo family had risen abruptly, becoming like fish in water in the commercial world and taking a substantial market share in Zhongshan City.
It was then that Wang Kun became aware of the Huo family and Huo Qian.
Ever since Huo Qian joined their circle, Wang Kun always felt that Huo Qian was somewhat aloof, not indulging in pleasures like the others.
Often going his own way, he didn’t quite fit in.
But since they had some cooperation with the Huo family, Wang Kun couldn’t be bothered to care.
Huo Qian, unlike others, never fawned over him, which was bearable, but today, his face had been openly snubbed by Huo Qian while asking about Ye Qiu.
And with that, Wang Kun was thoroughly enraged.
Repeating ‘fine’ several times, he stormed off, bitterly resenting both Huo Qian and Ye Qiu in his heart.
Watching Wang Kun angrily walk away, Huo Qian remained motionless, still sitting and drinking his red wine.
He had little regard for such spoiled brats like Wang Kun; if it wasn’t for his privileged background, how could he be so arrogant today?
Such people, Huo Qian was too lazy to associate with, and had no desire to do so.
Seeing Wang Kun leave in anger, a couple of the young masters tried to persuade Huo Qian to not antagonize Young Master Kun and to catch up with him to apologize as soon as possible.
“Hey, why can’t you just go along with him, and think about your family’s business a bit?
Is it worth offending Young Master Kun over that guy?” someone questioned Huo Qian’s recklessness, unable to understand his reasoning. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Huo Qian just smiled and offered no explanation.
Is he a fool?
Huo Qian was not foolish at all, but compared to Wang Kun, he preferred to befriend Ye Qiu.
After Ye Qiu helped Shangguan Hong get rid of Wang Kun’s entanglement, they did not actually enter the restroom, but stopped right at the door.
They were still holding hands, and neither of them had noticed until Shangguan Hong suddenly remembered and called out in embarrassment, her face instantly flushing with red.
She hurriedly withdrew her hand from Ye Qiu’s, her cheeks slightly tinged with red.
“Hehe, sorry, I forgot for a moment,” Ye Qiu said awkwardly, rubbing his palm, feeling the residual warmth from Shangguan Hong, and laughed shyly.
Shangguan Hong shook her head: “It’s okay.
If it weren’t for you just now, I might still be tangled up with that man.”
“It seems I’m almost becoming your professional stand-in boyfriend.
It’s quite a coincidence,” Ye Qiu smiled, feeling astonished that this wasn’t the first time he’d become Shangguan Hong’s fake boyfriend.
“So I should thank you even more, for every time you’ve helped me escape from embarrassment and awkwardness,” said Shangguan Hong with wide, earnest eyes.
Ye Qiu thought it over seriously and indeed it was so; each time he had passively become Shangguan Hong’s fake boyfriend, serving as a shield.
“Next time there’s a service for a pretend boyfriend, I might have to start charging,” Ye Qiu joked, revealing a hint of humor.
The blush on Shangguan Hong’s face hadn’t faded as she smiled faintly, actually nodding her head, revealing a bit of a young girl’s charm.
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment by the sight of Shangguan Hong displaying such a demeanor, there was a unique flavor and allure to it.
“Ahem…” Ye Qiu coughed awkwardly, averting his gaze, and said, “Let’s go to Shen Mengchen and Yinyin.
“Okay.” Shangguan Hong also immediately reverted to a calm demeanor, nodding slowly.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the spot where Shen Mengchen and Niu Yinyin were.
By then, Niu Yinyin was already full, burping contentedly and lying on the couch with the air of someone who had eaten and drunk her fill.
Shen Meng sat to one side, her gaze fixated somewhere, lost in thought.
Only when Ye Qiu and Shangguan Hong approached did Shen Meng snap out of her daze.
“Where have you two been?
I was just looking for you,” said Shen Meng to Shangguan Hong.
“Oh, we went to the restroom,” Ye Qiu said.
Shen Meng looked suspiciously at Ye Qiu, saying, “Since when do you need a man and a woman to go to the restroom together?”
“Ye Qiu, I think you just wanted to sneak a peek at our sister Shangguan going to the restroom,” said Shen Meng with a wolf-guarding look, eying Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered to argue with this girl; reasoning was futile.
Instead, he lay down on the sofa to rest, following Niu Yinyin’s lead, utterly at ease.
With her best friend Shangguan Hong by her side, Shen Meng no longer felt bored.
It wasn’t until an hour into the banquet that the sound of police sirens suddenly broke the lively atmosphere.
“Huh, why are the police here?” many people exclaimed in surprise, wondering how a proper business banquet had attracted the police.
Ye Qiu also stood up abruptly, looking toward the arriving officers, frowning as if wondering if something major had happened again.
He saw Lin Qiao’er leading a group of officers to the many business giants, taking out her police badge and saying to the crowd, “Ge Yusheng, the largest director of Rongda Group, has unfortunately passed away.
Since he died on his way here, for the sake of investigation, we’ll have to trouble you all to come back to the police station with me.”
“Business owners, this order comes directly from the Mayor of Zhongshan City, I hope you all cooperate,” Lin Qiao’er added, and with that, those who were initially reluctant to comply completely abandoned any thoughts of causing trouble.
Lin Qiao’er’s words at first didn’t make clear sense to the crowd, but soon enough, people began to react.
Ge Yusheng of Rongda is dead?
Someone murmured, not loudly, but in the quiet hall, it seemed much louder, enough that everyone heard it and took it to heart.
Rongda without its leader!
This sudden piece of news instantly gave the many bosses present a complex set of thoughts.
Some people showed a cunning eagerness in their eyes.
With Ge Yusheng’s death, a bigger market would open up, so who would capture the largest share of the market?
In an instant, countless thoughts permeated the hall.
The scent of a commercial battlefield was spreading, even before the fight had started.
