“An Qian, Executive Le,” Gu Ning greeted them.
“Miss Gu, nice to meet you,” Le Zhengyu greeted her.
“Hi, Executive Le, Miss An.” Qin Yifan came over.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Qin,” An Qian and Le Zhengyu said.
“I was wondering who is so attractive! It’s you!” An Qian looked at Gu Ning joking.
“It was our group of people entering together. It’s hard to ignore us,” Gu Ning said. She was being modest.
An Qian smiled. She then noticed a familiar figure behind Gu Ning. She was slightly surprised. “Yi, don’t you hate these parties? Why are you here today?”
“Cousin Qian, since my close friends are all here, I didn’t want to be alone,” An Yi answered.
Gu Ning was astonished to find out that An Yi and An Qian were cousins!
“Alright! You all have fun. We need to greet our other friends there,” An Qian herself wanted to talk with Gu Ning, but Le Zhengyu needed to socialize with his friends. As his female partner, An Qian had to follow him.
After that, An Qian and Le Zhengyu left.
Qin Yifan guided Gu Ning and others to a sofa. Qin Zixun understood that Qin Yifan would be busy tonight, so he said, “Brother, you can go and welcome the other guests. I’ll handle it here.”
“Great! You all have fun. I must leave now.” Although Qin Yifan wanted to talk with Gu Ning, he was occupied tonight. He told Qin Zixun to take care of them before walking away.
Seeing that Qin Yifan was finally alone now, some girls from noble families immediately went to chat with him. Out of politeness, Qin Yifan behaved like a gentleman, even though he disliked them.
“What do you want to drink? I’ll get it for you,” Qin Zixun asked his friends.
“Red wine please,” Gu Ning said.
“Me too,” Chu Peihan added.
“Orange juice please!” Yu Mixi said. She was still not used to drinking wine.
The boys all ordered red wine as well.
Some men around them had the intention to chat with the girls, but Qin Zixun and other boys were there too. They behaved like bodyguards, sitting or standing beside the girls. No man dared to come near. And some girls who wanted to chat with the boys all stayed away too.
“With you all standing here, no one dares to chat with us,” Chu Peihan joked.
“I don’t think a man who randomly chats with beautiful girls is a gentleman. Besides, look at their faces! I think we’re much more handsome than them!” Qin Zixun said.
“Exactly, we’re young and good-looking. Aren’t you satisfied with that?” Hao Ran added.
“We’re too familiar with each other. I get bored,” Chu Peihan said.
Qin Zixun and the boys were speechless.
Meanwhile, some saw a familiar face. It was Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng’s family wasn’t a rich family, but a powerful one. Thus his family had received an invitation letter too.
As for those businessmen who only had dozens of million yuan of wealth, they weren’t qualified to get an invitation letter. The guests here were either the super-rich, or the authorities. The super-rich ones all had hundreds of million yuan of wealth, while the powerful ones were at least in the positions of vice director of a department.
Qin Zheng’s family name was Qin too, but he had nothing to do with Qin Yifan’s family.
Qin Zheng was a tall handsome boy. He was wearing a formal suit, and looked mature. Many girls found him attractive as well.
“What is he doing here? Is he a male gold digger here for the super-rich girls?” Hao Ran asked with curiosity.
“Ha-ha.” Hearing that, Gu Ning and others laughed out loud. They knew Hao Ran was joking, but they couldn’t deny it.
Parents attended such parties to build or strengthen network. And their children were here for the same aim: to have or maintain a close relationship with the second generation of the super-rich or the authorities.
If anyone could settle a marital alliance, it would be much better. Everyone was here for an aim. Benefit was the most important motivation.
Qin Zheng had been with Gu Xiaoxiao because he approved her background. Although Gu Xiaoxiao’s family was scarcely comparable with the families in this party tonight, she was the best Qin Zheng could get. And the real super-rich girls couldn’t care less about Qin Zheng’s family.
It was fine to become friends with Qin Zheng, but no super-rich girl really wanted to marry him.
Before long, Qin Zheng also noticed Gu Ning and others. Especially when he saw Gu Ning, he was completely stunned by her beauty.
He was aware that Gu Ning and Qin Zixun were friends, which was the reason Gu Ning was here. He also knew that Gu Ning was beautiful, but she was stunning tonight after she had dressed up.
All of a sudden, Qin Zheng fell in love. He was so regretful that he had broken up with Gu Ning.
In addition, he didn’t care about Gu Ning’s background any more at that moment. He clearly knew that he fell in love with Gu Ning now.
Unfortunately, he didn’t dare to come up to talk to her.
Chu Peihan approached Gu Ning gloating over Qin Zheng’s misfortune. “Look at his gaze on you! He must be greatly regretful!”
Actually, Chu Peihan never understood why Gu Ning, who was an excellent girl, had been with Qin Zheng before. Even though it was the truth, Chu Peihan couldn’t believe it.
Indeed, if the old Gu Ning had been today’s Gu Ning, she would have been together with Qin Zheng, but today’s Gu Ning was totally different from the old one.
Gu Ning only smiled but didn’t say a word.
She apparently noticed the regret on Qin Zheng’s face, but she didn’t care. She had never respected him.
A few minutes later, An Guangyao got there too. However, the minute he appeared, an ironic male voice sounded, “Oh! Isn’t this Chairman An of Shenghua Real Estate? I heard you’ve sold your company already. And you’re still the chairman, oh, the executive chairman to be specific. Congratulations!”
Congratulations?
An Guangyao almost went bankrupt, but the man congratulated him still?
The man obviously did it on purpose to make fun of An Guangyao. And everyone present knew it.
The business world was like the war field. Not many of the businessmen could be real good friends. Therefore, not only the man, but other businessmen were also happy to see that An Guangyao was in trouble.
