Fate's Trick
(The four bonus chapters for the "Ten Billion Light Years Alliance Leader" have been completed. Starting tomorrow, the "Dare to Make All Saints Bow" Alliance Leader will also release four more chapters.)
"Rongrong, aren't we here to help your uncle liven up the banquet? Isn't it inappropriate to do this?"
"What's wrong with this? It's way more upscale than the circles you used to hang out in. You might even snag a few rich guys here. If you're coming, don't hesitate."
Xiao Rongrong appeared in the hall with her two female companions. If it weren't for her two companions' various pleas yesterday, she really wouldn't have asked her uncle to let her bring these two best friends in.
But since you're here, you'd better listen to me obediently, so you won't dare to secretly laugh at me before!
"How annoying! You're dressed so nicely, you're bound to attract a lot of attention. People will probably say a few rich young men just asked for your Sky Communicator number."
The three girls' playful banter did not offend those around them; on the contrary, many people cast kind glances at them.
At a banquet, every move a beautiful woman makes is a feast for the eyes, isn't it?
A man wearing a tailcoat with a badge that looked like a cloud pinned to his chest.
His meticulously trimmed beard gave him a unique charm that befits a thirty-year-old man.
"May I have the honor of getting to know these three beautiful ladies?"
The three girls chuckled, exchanged glances, and then began to chat happily.
The hall gradually quieted down.
The band playing nearby gradually stopped when they saw what was happening, because the owner of the venue was already standing in the center of the main stage in the Banquet Hall.
After putting on a small headset, the sprightly old man cleared his throat and said, "Good afternoon, everyone. I am Wang Ji, Chairman of Luoqi Heavy Industries."
When that aged yet powerful voice rang out, the entire audience listened in silence, their gazes fixed on the center of the venue.
"I feel honored to see so many old friends and new friends at the mid-year gathering."
"I hope that everyone will accompany Luoqi Heavy Industries in creating an even more brilliant future. Thank you."
"At today's banquet, please feel free to chat about everyday things and maintain the friendly atmosphere we've been in."
After the old man finished speaking, he smiled slightly and opened his arms to the scene.
Soothing music played at the opportune moment, but brief and powerful words truly dominated the atmosphere in the hall.
A few minutes ago, Mu Fan and Fatty were wandering back and forth in a corner of the hall.
The fat man tugged at Mu Fan, who was looking around nervously, and whispered, "What are you doing?"
"Looking for something to eat? Why isn't there a buffet like the one you used to have?" Mu Fan said, looking confused.
The fat man almost couldn't catch his breath.
So you're here to eat?
How many people actually eat at these commercial banquets?
The fat man looked at Mu Fan with a wry smile and said in a low voice, "This... is different from my home. Be mindful of your image. The hotel will provide food and drinks at each individual round table."
Just as the two finished speaking, the voice of the chairman of Luoqi Heavy Industries rang out.
"Look, that's the head of Luoqi Heavy Industries, the real big spender!" The fat man looked at Old Master Wang Ji with admiration and grabbed Mu Fan's arm as he spoke.
"Hey, that girl behind the old man is so pretty!" The fat man, as if he had discovered a new continent, forcefully corrected Mu Fan's gaze. "Look, look! It's that girl standing behind him smiling, she's simply a goddess! Could she be Old Master Wang's granddaughter?"
The fat man made up a sentence without thinking, but unexpectedly it hit the bullseye.
Mu Fan also saw the tall, beautiful woman in the light blue dress. His eyesight was several times better than the fat man's, and he could even see the girl's facial contours more clearly. Under the soft light, the curve of her profile was even more perfect.
"It really is beautiful." Mu Fan said honestly. He felt even more comfortable looking at her than at the fat man's cousin, Sherry. In his mind, this should be considered a better appearance.
"Old Master Wang has finished speaking. Come on, let's go over there. Maybe we can strike up a conversation with that beautiful lady!"
The chubby boy completely ignored his father's warnings. Brother Fatty had absolutely no resistance to these beautiful girls who appealed to all ages.
Oh dear, she smiled again, and the Brother Fatty's heart almost melted.
"Didn't Wayne say we weren't allowed to go?"
"It's alright, didn't you see my dad is already moving over there?"
All right...
With a helpless Mu Fan looked up again at the girl with a smile in her eyes, especially her watery eyes, which seemed somewhat familiar.
Shaking his head, Mu Fan felt he hadn't recovered yet when the fat man forcibly dragged him away.
Standing behind Wang Ji, Wang Nuonuo smiled as she met the friendly and amazed gazes of the crowd, her poise as the little princess of Luoqi Heavy Industries unmistakable at this moment.
Generous and dignified, gentle and elegant.
Many of the young men present cast admiring glances at her.
In their view, the main character of today's banquet was definitely not the head of Luoqi Heavy Industries, but the girl in front of them, who was as bright as a pearl.
But they had no idea that Miss Wang Nuonuo's face was almost frozen.
This kind of activity that requires wearing a mask all the time is exhausting.
You have to offer your smile to strangers, people with ulterior motives, and people you don't like, all for the sake of so-called aristocratic etiquette.
Having spent little time with her parents since childhood, Wang Nuonuo possesses an extraordinary degree of independence and rebelliousness.
Wang Ji's doting on his granddaughter has made Wang Nuonuo's personality completely different from that of a princess-like girl who has been strictly trained and raised by her family since childhood.
But for the sake of their own business, they'll fight tooth and nail!
Anyway, while I'm still young...
Yes, that's right, I'm only 17 years old this year.
Thinking of this Wang Nuonuo's smile became even brighter.
"The young lady smiled at me!" A handsome young man was instantly captivated.
"He must be smiling at me." The other rich young man who came with his father also gave him what he thought was his brightest smile.
For a moment, many young men in the audience exchanged smiles and glances.
Everyone was like a proud rooster, raising their necks high.
He was afraid that the elfin girl on stage wouldn't see him.
Mu Fan glanced up unintentionally and saw the girl gazing at the smiling face below the stage again, and he was taken aback.
Because he saw that the girl's eyes were clearly lifeless, as if she were...
Distracted?
"Why are you so slow? You walk like a woman. Hurry up!" Mu Fan felt another tug on his sleeve. The fat man looked like a salmon struggling to swim upstream.
It's still the kind of large salmon that comes with its own roost.
"Excuse me, excuse me, thank you, thank you."
The fat man was struggling to squeeze towards the main stage, but at the same time he politely apologized to the people in front of him.
The people who come here are all people of a certain status and position. To put it more bluntly, the families of the guests here are probably more powerful Li Du the Fowen Conglomerate from Luoqie Star.
No one would be so rude as to argue with a chubby kid.
The bow at his collar was crooked, and the fat man's face was covered with a thin layer of sweat under the cool air conditioning, but he still didn't give up pulling on Mu Fan.
Um?
Can't pull it anymore?
