Ruan Qi

Feeling the gazes coming from around them, Luo Qunfa froze for a moment, then immediately said anxiously, "Did... did you mishear me? We said we came to apologize, not to be some hookers..."

"Huh? You want to bring that woman along too? Do you guys play that hardcore?" An Shiyu said.

Chao Yiyu at the side showed an even more disdainful look. "Are you guys sick in the head? Look at the occasion, and you're coming here to solicit?"

The two girls were giving completely nonsensical replies, leaving Luo Qunfa's brain unable to process the situation.

Seeing the people at the surrounding tables whispering and giving them weird looks, Luo Qunfa finally realized what was happening. "You did that on purpose?"

"Did what on purpose?" An Shiyu put on an innocent, blank expression.

"Watashi doesn't understand sumida."

Meanwhile, Chao Yiyu said to Luo Meng, "Hey, waitress, go get me a bottle of juice."

Luo Qunfa and Luo Meng's faces instantly turned pale with anger. Luo Meng, in particular, knew Chao Yiyu was blatantly humiliating her. Being watched by Keke and the other girls felt like her dignity was being trampled into the dirt.

But with so many people watching, Luo Qunfa still managed to squeeze out a stiff smile.

"Um, Miss An Shi, please be the bigger person..."

"Get lost. Looking at a fat pig like you makes me sick. Do I have to spell it out for you? Can't you look in the mirror? You waste air when you're alive, land when you're dead, and RMB when you're half-dead." An Shiyu dropped the sarcastic act; her straightforward, venomous tongue instantly shattered Luo Qunfa's defenses.

"You, you..."

"I have never seen such a brazen and shameless person." Chao Yiyu shook her head and added, "My mistake, it's a balding, shameless pig."

Luo Qunfa was so furious that his whole body went numb. His knuckles turned white from clenching his fists, but he still didn't dare to lay a hand on An Shiyu.

In the end, he grabbed Luo Meng and, with a dark expression, left the banquet under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Hm? He's leaving just like that?" An Shiyu rested her face on her hand. "I thought he was going to throw a punch, so I could happily beat him to a pulp."

"Well, whatever." Chao Yiyu sucked the king crab leg meat into her mouth like she was eating french fries.

This incident seemed to be nothing more than a minor interlude. Afterward, everyone stopped thinking about Luo Qunfa and didn't care where they went.

At this time, a few figures slowly walked onto the nearby stage. The woman leading them looked very familiar. A simple long dress could not hide her proud figure and stunning looks. Chen Qin held a microphone,

"Good evening, everyone. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the Chen Group's banquet."

As soon as she finished speaking, the guests burst into applause. Ye Shuang, who was standing right beside Chen Qin, clapped along.

"Actually, most of the people who came here are my acquaintances. Thank you all for your support of the Chen Group over the years," Chen Qin continued.

"Aside from just a regular gathering, I actually have something I want to share with everyone today."

"I'd like to introduce a friend to you all," Chen Qin said, smiling at Ye Shuang.

Ye Shuang paused for a moment and pointed at himself. After receiving a nod from Chen Qin, he walked up to stand beside her.

"Ye Shuang is the Vice President of our Chen Group, my good friend, and my comrade-in-arms."

After Chen Qin finished speaking, the people present applauded once again.

Chen Qin looked at Ye Shuang with a beaming smile, then tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her finger. Her profile was slightly flushed. "We are also in a romantic relationship."

This single sentence caused many people present to show surprised expressions. Upon hearing this, quite a few business tycoons looked over at Ye Shuang.

Ye Shuang hadn't expected Chen Qin to introduce him in front of so many people. However, after a moment of thought, he understood her intention. It was nothing more than sharing her network with him, signifying that behind Ye Shuang stood not only the corporation but also Chen Qin and the entire Chen family.

Ye Shuang smiled politely at the crowd. Following that, Chen Qin exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the banquet officially began.

Many people walked over to Chen Qin, asking her to introduce Ye Shuang.

Everyone was incredibly curious about what kind of man could conquer Chen Qin. After all, Chen Qin had never had a single rumor about her before; in everyone's eyes, she was the absolute picture of a strong, independent career woman.

"Miss Chen, how did you two meet? It was so quiet and sudden."

"Ah Ye and I grew up together, and he is also a very outstanding person." Chen Qin held onto Ye Shuang's arm. Her constant words of praise made those bosses look at Ye Shuang with a bit of surprise.

To be honest, it was their first time seeing Chen Qin display such a girlish side.

Facing such an occasion, Ye Shuang wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he smoothly cooperated with Chen Qin to guide the conversation. His steady and capable demeanor actually surprised quite a few people.

However, there were also some discordant gazes. Among the crowd that gathered to chat, a man who looked to be around the same age as Ye Shuang frowned slightly, but he still restrained his expression and smiled at Ye Shuang. "Mr. Ye, you really are young and promising."

"Hello, I am Ruan Qi from Meirong."

"Oh? Mr. Ruan, it really has been a long time since we last met. It's been five years, right?" Chen Qin also noticed the man.

"Long time no see, Miss Chen." The man just smiled faintly. "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would already be the President of the Chen Group."

"Ah Ye, he is my university alumni, Ruan Qi," Chen Qin introduced the man's background to Ye Shuang.

"Hello, Mr. Ruan." Ye Shuang also reached out his hand.

"Hello." The other party also reached out. The moment their hands clasped, Ye Shuang felt a certain amount of force coming from the man's palm. He looked up in confusion and found Ruan Qi still smiling.

Ye Shuang calmly applied a little more force. Ruan Qi's expression shifted slightly, because Ye Shuang's hand was unbelievably hard, just like a pair of pliers.

You have to know that he worked out regularly, and his grip strength was much higher than an ordinary person's. Why did this man's grip feel like it was going to crush his bones?

Just as Ruan Qi was toughing it out without making a sound, Ye Shuang released his hand. He acted as if nothing had happened, smiled at Ruan Qi, and then took Chen Qin to chat with other people.

Ruan Qi's hand was trembling slightly, but he still hid it behind his back and said to Ye Shuang with a smile,

"Mr. Ye is so highly regarded by the Chen family at such a young age. I wonder where you worked previously?"

Hearing this, Ye Shuang glanced at Ruan Qi but still answered, "I used to run a small company. Later, I left due to some matters, and eventually came to the Chen Group."

"Oh? So you're saying you became Vice President as soon as you entered the Chen Group? That's truly something an ordinary person would find difficult to achieve," Ruan Qi said, shaking his head.
