This time, the private banquet hosted by the Angel Group was held in a very luxurious private club, which was famously known among the upper echelons of Xiangjiang society. The membership fee alone cost several million annually, and nearly all the members were top tycoons from Xiangjiang; the average person simply couldn’t afford it.
At this moment, the private club was entirely booked by the Angel Group. Numerous luxury cars were parked around, and well-trained bodyguards stood at the entrance, their sharp eyes scanning each person, openly carrying weapons at their waists.
Huang Feiyu’s car stopped at the entrance, and immediately two bodyguards came up to him. They only let him pass after seeing the invitation Huang Feiyu presented.
From this point, it was evident that not everyone could simply attend this private banquet. Without a certain status, one couldn’t get in at all.
"Sister-in-law, this is the venue for tonight’s private banquet. The people invited by the Angel Group to attend are basically from the upper layers of Xiangjiang society—powerful and influential. Sister-in-law, if you want to establish a security company in Xiangjiang, I could later introduce you to some people here. I believe many here would give me some face."
Like a sycophant, Huang Feiyu walked ahead of Bai Zhiqing, explaining as they went. The wealthier people were, the more afraid of death they were. If Bai Zhiqing’s security company was robust, just getting in with this group of wealthy folks would be like gaining a foothold in Xiangjiang’s business circle.
"Little brother, what about me? Aren’t you going to call me? In the future I’ll be your sister-in-law. Aren’t you going to help me?" Seeing Huang Feiyu bustling around Bai Zhiqing, Rose spoke up discontentedly.
"Sister Meigui, don’t worry. How could I forget you! I’ve heard that at this private banquet there are also many bosses from underground forces. So, let me introduce them to you later..."
Before Huang Feiyu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Zhiqing, who said, "Don’t call her sister-in-law. Just call her Sister Meigui. She’s not your sister-in-law."
Unperturbed by Bai Zhiqing’s attitude, Rose smiled and said, "Zhiqing is right, I’m not yet your sister-in-law, but it won’t be long now. Let’s have you start calling me that in advance to get used to it."
Bai Zhiqing felt helpless; she found that Rose and Lin Yafei were alike, both enchantresses and equally shameless.
With an awkward laugh, Huang Feiyu said nothing more and didn’t wait for the nearby bodyguard to act, instead he pushed open the door and went inside.
As soon as he entered the private club, Lu Tianxing felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. What met his eyes was a vast hall, luxuriously decorated but not elegant, with a Sino-Western decor that was extremely comfortable to the eye. Amidst all the majestic decorations, the entire hall looked resplendently regal, almost as if one had walked into a palace.
In the hall, the men were in suits and fashionable attire, all looking like successful individuals, behaving with utmost politeness. The women here, like Bai Zhiqing and Rose, were dressed in various evening gowns, each flamboyantly embellished, but compared to the conservative attire of Rose and Bai Zhiqing, the other women’s outfits were much more revealing.
Sweeping past the landscape, a line of pristine white peaks, one connected to another, did not require one to look for a certain angle to catch sight of the unfathomably deep gorges and those peaks that revealed almost their entire sides. The long, beautiful legs darting before his eyes were almost too much to take in at once.
Among them, Lu Tianxing had spotted a number of well-known actresses from Xiangjiang, mingling through the crowd, some clinging to the arms of middle-aged men, their faces blooming with smiles.
Lu Tianxing now understood why rich people enjoyed attending such gatherings; this was hardly a mere social event, but clearly a prime spot for hook-ups and gold-digging.
Bai Zhiqing and Rose walked into the hall hand in hand, immediately drawing most of the attention. After all, both Bai Zhiqing and Rose were considered top-tier beauties. Even without makeup, they were a rare sight of beauty, and with light makeup, their charm was stunning. Bai Zhiqing, having been nourished, exuded an icy yet mature allure from head to toe, making her the focus of men wherever she went.
Rose was no less a focus in the men’s eyes than Bai Zhiqing, prompting many to contemplate whether or not to approach her.
Even though many were tempted to approach, no one dared to make a move, seeing Huang Feiyu by Bai Zhiqing’s side. The Huang Family was not someone they could afford to offend. Even if they weren’t afraid of the Huang Family, it was still not worth risking their futures, and according to rumors, the Peng Family had likely been annihilated for that very reason. It was wise not to provoke such a menacing family.
For a moment, the entire hall quieted down, as men turned their gazes towards Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and their group, pondering their identities and guessing why Huang Feiyu was accompanying them.
Meanwhile, the women’s gazes landed on Huang Feiyu, their eyes filled with keen interest. Huang Feiyu, the future heir of the Huang Family—if they could ingratiate themselves with him, they would transform from sparrows to phoenixes and would no longer have any worries for the rest of their lives.
Some women who considered themselves attractive began to flaunt their charms, hoping to capture Huang Feiyu’s attention.
Huang Feiyu, however, seemed oblivious to the gazes of the women around him, staying faithfully by Bai Zhiqing’s side. His father had made it clear before he came that he was to take good care of Bai Zhiqing and Rose among others, warning him that he would face severe consequences if he slacked off. He certainly did not want to suffer such a fate.
Furthermore, if he wanted women, the Huang Family name alone was enough to make a myriad of women fall over themselves to get to him. As for the women attending the private gala, to put it bluntly, most were social butterflies who would sleep with anyone as long as they had money—a fact he had seen far too often. He couldn’t muster any interest in these women.
Huang Feiyu took a deep breath, glanced around, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, Sister Mei Gui, do you see that group of people on the left? They are all the heads of the underground forces in Xiangjiang, although they hold significant power publicly. If you two want to make a mark in Xiangjiang, getting to know them could not be more advantageous. Sister-in-law, Sister Mei Gui, would you like me to take you there and introduce you to them now?"
The two women exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. However, Bai Zhiqing’s purpose in befriending these people stemmed from the security company of Bai’s Group, while Rose was aiming for the underground forces of Xiangjiang. Since she intended to dominate Xiangjiang, she wanted all its powers under her control.
If she was going to do it, she had to do it best—such was the style of Rose!!
