After hearing Ye Feng’s reply, everyone felt relieved and left the high-speed train station. The four then headed to the hotel to check in. The next morning, Wu Kexin and Lin Shiyu arrived at the summit venue early.
To be honest, the summit venue was just for meetings. Not interested in such things, Ye Feng and Zhao Ziming didn’t join but instead toured the sights of Longdu together, allowing Zhao Ziming to relax his mind.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. By the time Ye Feng and the others returned to the hotel, Lin Shiyu and her group had just come back.
Seeing Ye Feng, Lin Shiyu said, "Quick! Head upstairs to change into formal wear. There’s a reception tonight, are you coming with us?"
"A reception?" Ye Feng and Zhao Ziming showed curiosity. Lin Shiyu pouted, "Don’t want to go?"
"No, let’s go," Ye Feng nodded in agreement.
Soon, the four changed clothes and headed to the reception venue. Lin Shiyu spoke with a hint of excitement, "Ye Feng, you know, we really made the right decision coming here! This time the exchange summit isn’t just about meetings; the real highlight is the evening reception.
Turns out, a big shot from the Southern Border will appear tonight. Among us businessmen, they will select an investor to establish a medical company in the Southern Border!"
Lin Shiyu was extremely excited. After all, medical companies were quite profitable, especially when partnering with the Southern Border warriors, suggesting the drugs to be developed had great value.
It seemed difficult to lose money in such a venture, no wonder Lin Shiyu was so happy.
"A big shot from the Southern Border?" Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly upwards.
He remembered that when he returned from Y country, Liu Mu had mentioned they would meet soon.
It seemed that this so-called big shot from the Southern Border would, in all likelihood, be Liu Mu.
Heavenly Water Villa, the most luxurious villa in Longdu, second to none.
Here, surrounded by mountains and waters, the scenery was picturesque. The area also boasted the cleanest air in Longdu. The villa offered the most delicious gourmet food and the most expensive wines. This was the site for tonight’s reception of the Dragon Country business exchange summit.
At the entrance, two men and two women slowly walked into the villa. They were good-looking men and beautiful women, Ye Feng and his group of four.
Inside the villa, top businessmen from all over Dragon Country gathered, forming groups here and there.
Ye Feng and his company also found a spot to sit down. Then Wu Tianfang, the chairman of the Longdu Business Association, stepped forward.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the big shot from the Southern Border has been delayed on the road and might be over an hour late. Please don’t worry, I’ve already handed everyone’s information to them. Rest assured, they will announce the Southern Border warriors’ business partner soon!" Wu Tianfang announced.
Everyone began to look forward with expectation, and Wu Tianfang, having many other matters to attend to, left the reception, likely to reappear only after the person from the Southern Border arrived.
Meanwhile, since Ye Feng and the others had not eaten, they began picking up the food provided at the venue to eat.
"Shiyu!" At this moment, an excited man approached Lin Shiyu.
He was a young man in a blue suit with a neat buzz cut, swiftly making his way to Lin Shiyu’s side.
Yet, Ye Feng didn’t even glance at the man, continuing to eat.
Naturally, the man didn’t pay any attention to Ye Feng either, behaving as if they didn’t exist.
Frowning, Lin Shiyu said, "Gao Yu, don’t be so familiar. We’re not that close!"
Gao Yu smiled gently, "Shiyu, are you still mad about what happened before? I told you, in university, there was nothing between me and Yueyue. You were my first love, you must believe me!"
"First love!" Hearing these words, Wu Kexin and Zhao Ziming both frowned and eyed the man with hostility.
Ye Feng, however, was indifferent about Lin Shiyu’s first love or ex; that was her past. Although he was known as the War God of Dragon Country, it was just a title, not an all-knowing god. He had neither the right nor the ability to govern a person’s past.
What Ye Feng cared about was the present, how Lin Shiyu treated him now. Besides, he could tell that Lin Shiyu had no feelings for the current Gao Yu.
Lin Shiyu coldly told Gao Yu, "Gao Yu, you don’t need to explain anything to me, your explanations are meaningless."
Gao Yu shook his head helplessly, confident that Lin Shiyu still liked him. She had always been a hurdle he couldn’t overcome in his heart. He had won over every woman he dated, getting everything he wanted from them, except for Lin Shiyu, with whom he had only ever held hands, much to his displeasure.
Gao Yu said, "Foolish girl, how can my explanations have nothing to do with you? I know you still like me. For these years since university, I’ve thought of you every year, every day! I’ve wanted to tell you countless times, but I never had the chance. Today, at last, I have the chance, Lin Shiyu, I like you!"
Gao Yu declared loudly, his voice echoing throughout the venue.
...Instantly, the room fell quiet.
Everyone turned to look at Gao Yu and Lin Shiyu. They quickly recognized Gao Yu and Lin Shiyu.
"Isn’t that the Gao Family’s eldest young master, Gao Yu? He’s confessing his love here."
"He has good taste. That young lady is the Miss Lin of Lin Tian City’s Lin Family. Although not quite on par with the Gao Family, they’re not far behind, especially as Lin Shiyu has a knack for business. If they get together, it would be a match of equals!"
People nearby started to chime in, "Miss Lin, why hesitate? Accept him, become Gao Yu’s girlfriend!"
"Yes, yes, it’s rare for Gao Yu to be so infatuated with a woman!"
Gao Yu excitedly looked at Lin Shiyu, whose complexion was not looking good at the moment. Thinking Lin Shiyu was moved, he eagerly pleaded, "Shiyu, be my girlfriend. I promise you, I’ll only love you for the rest of my life, never letting you be hurt!"
"Gao Yu, watch your words!" Lin Shiyu was furious!
