Ye Qiu slowly sailed towards Hong Kong on Hodou's yacht.
What he didn't know was that at the same time, Bai Lan had just disembarked from a flight to
Hong Kong, rushing to the Rong Family's invitation banquet.
This time, Bai Lan primarily came to discuss cooperation.
Bai Lan has always been a capable woman, and she had long considered expanding her business globally, with Hong Kong, this golden land, indeed being one of her targets.
The Rong Family, which hosted this banquet, is an influential presence in Hong Kong's business community.
Being invited to a Rong Family banquet meant top-tier enterprises in the business world, with many business opportunities present.
Therefore, Bai Lan regarded this banquet highly, dressed herself up, trying to exhibit the demeanor of a woman entrepreneur, before making a grand appearance.
Bai Lan herself possessed devastating beauty, capable of making anyone forget food and sleep even without intentional grooming.
With just a little adornment now, she immediately entranced people to no end.
As soon as Bai Lan appeared at the entrance of the Rong Family banquet, instantly, all eyes turned to her.
Whoa! This woman is stunningly beautiful!
How can such a gorgeous woman exist?!
Could it be a fairy descending to the mortal world?!
The men couldn't help but think to themselves.
A real fairy!!
But the women had different thoughts in their minds.
Bai Lan was already accustomed to such gazes and didn't mind, continuing to walk inside.
"Hi! Beautiful lady, I'm the chairman of Global Asia. May I have the honor of knowing you?"
Soon, a man in a suit, evidently a successful person, approached and greeted Bai Lan.
He introduced himself right away. Global Asia is a Fortune 500 company, and this man is the chairman, taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with Bai Lan, and even extended his hand, attempting to shake hers.
Seeing this, the women at the banquet couldn't help but feel envious.
Bai Lan, however, felt nothing much and was about to respond politely.
Before Bai Lan could speak, a young man suddenly rushed over from the side, lifted his hand, and pushed the chairman of Global Asia aside, standing in front of Bai Lan himself.
Who is this person? He actually pushed the chairman of Global Asia aside!
Bai Lan was a bit dazed, and the people at the banquet were also surprised, looking at the young man.
"Wow! It's the third young master of the Rong Family!"
"It's the third young master! No wonder he dared to push the chairman of Global Asia aside!"
Once the young man was recognized, a wave of exclamations erupted from the women at the banquet.
The person who came was none other than Ronghua, the third young master of the Rong Family, the hosts of the banquet in Hong Kong.
The Rong Family is one of the earliest business families in Hong Kong. Their accumulated wealth and connections are unmatched, wielding considerable influence in Hong Kong's business world.
Pushed aside by Ronghua, the chairman of Global Asia could only leave, indignant yet speechless.
"Haha, beautiful lady, are you a female entrepreneur from the mainland? I am the third young master of the Rong Family. What's your name? Let's be friends!"
Ronghua stared at Bai Lan's face, almost drooling.
From the moment Bai Lan entered, Ronghua's eyes lit up. Despite being the third young master of the Rong Family, having courted many women worldwide, he had never encountered a woman with Bai Lan's charm and beauty.
Ronghua was determined to win Bai Lan over! So when he saw the chairman of Global Asia daring to strike up a conversation with Bai Lan, he immediately rushed over and pushed him aside.
How dare anyone compete with him for a woman Ronghua had his eyes on?! Impossible!
"Wow! The third young master actually chatted her up!"
"Oh my god! The third young master even wants her to be his friend!"
The women at the banquet shouted again, and this time their jealousy was practically palpable in the room.
After all, this was the third young master of the Rong Family! To be friends with Ronghua was something these women dreamed of achieving all their lives!
The women were simply dying from envy!
Bai Lan also heard the exclamations around her and knew that the person in front of her was the third young master of the Rong Family. Although he held a high status, upon seeing his arrogant demeanor, Bai Lan felt a bit disdainful.
Seeing Ronghua looking at her lecherously, Bai Lan said coldly, "Sorry, third young master, I'm here only to discuss cooperation, not to make friends."
As she spoke, Bai Lan also ignored Ronghua's outstretched hand.
"If there's nothing else, I need to get inside." Then, Bai Lan continued walking inside.
She was rejected coldly! Ignored!
For the first time in his life, Ronghua encountered such a situation.
Interesting! This woman is interesting!
A playful smile appeared on Ronghua's face. The more aloof she was, the more he liked her, the more he wanted to have her!
Ronghua blocked Bai Lan's path with one step. This time, he spoke bluntly.
"Hey, what cooperation are you talking about? If you're willing to be my girlfriend, I'll introduce you to anyone you want to collaborate with!"
Oh my! The third young master wants her to be his girlfriend!
This had never happened before; although Ronghua was always surrounded by countless women, he never officially claimed to have a girlfriend.
Ronghua only treated those women as playthings, never taking them seriously.
And now, in front of everyone, he's asking Bai Lan to be his girlfriend!
To be Ronghua's girlfriend, to marry into the super-wealthy Rong Family, was something these women would break their heads dreaming of!
Their envy was now through the roof! They wished they could be Bai Lan and immediately agree to be Ronghua's girlfriend.
Seeing Bai Lan not speaking, the women thought to themselves that she might be too excited to talk.
Actually, Bai Lan was surprised that Ronghua would say such a thing. She knew the power of the Rong Family and didn't intend to offend this third young master, but what he said made Bai Lan frown, and she then replied coldly.
"Sorry, I already have a fiancé."
"What? A fiancé?" Ronghua's face turned dark upon hearing Bai Lan's words.
This beautiful woman actually has a fiancé!
Who on earth managed to win her over first?!
Ronghua was momentarily stunned.
The women at the banquet, on the other hand, were wide-eyed in disbelief. Bai Lan refused! She actually refused!
Even if you have a fiancé, can he compare to Ronghua?
The women were dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Bai Lan seized the moment of Ronghua's daze to quickly walk away from his side, heading into the crowd.
At the same time, a hint of worry appeared on her face.
Bai Lan could see Ronghua's character, knowing that merely saying she had a fiancé might not be enough to deter him, and she had to be cautious, avoiding him as much as possible.
Just as Bai Lan thought, when Ronghua snapped out of it, watching Bai Lan's quickly disappearing silhouette, he squinted and smiled.
Fiancé or not, so what? Worst case, he could get rid of him!
He was determined to have her!
