Lin Chang, standing beside, eyed the servant's words with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Are you certain you didn't get it wrong?" Lin Chang hastily inquired.
"I shouldn't be mistaken," the servant affirmed. "That license plate belongs to Su Hua, only they've been staying in the car and haven't come down, so I couldn't see who was inside. I'm not sure if Su Hua herself is sitting inside."
"It must be her! I've heard that Su Hua has a strong aversion to germs, and no one else is allowed to ride in her car." Lin Chang's voice was filled with excitement.
Su Hua was the CEO of Su Corporation, and if they could forge a connection with her, Starlight Group would undoubtedly climb to new heights.
And other companies would flock to curry favor with him as well.
Jiang Shuqin had also heard of Su Hua's reputation and frowned with confusion, "Honey, we've never met Su Hua before. Could she be here for someone else?"
"Who's hosting the banquet on the third floor?" Lin Chang asked.
The servant replied, "Wu Wenqing."
"Wu Wenqing from Wu Group?" Lin Chang inquired.
The servant nodded. "Yes."
"Wu Wenqing is far inferior to our Lin family. Even I can't get close to Su Hua, let alone him. I think Su Hua is here for us."
"However, neither I nor Starlight Group have had any interactions with Su Hua before. Why would she come to see me?" Lin Chang frowned deeply.
"Honey," Jiang Shuqin exclaimed with excitement, "today is Li'er's birthday banquet. Isn't it possible that Su Hua is here to attend Li'er's birthday banquet?"
Lin Chang looked puzzled. "Li'er?"
"Yes, Li'er's computer skills are among the top in the country among college students. Su Corporation values talent greatly. It's very possible that she came here for Li'er." Jiang Shuqin became more convinced as she spoke.
Lin Chang's eyes lit up.
Perhaps that's exactly the case!
If the CEO takes a liking to Li'er's talent, it would definitely benefit them greatly. With Li'er being so handsome, maybe the CEO has taken a liking to him as well.
Their ages only differ by three years.
At that moment, Lin Li walked over, "Dad, Mom, what are you all talking about?"
"Li'er," Jiang Shuqin asked excitedly, "Do you know Su Hua, the CEO of Su Corporation?"
"I don't," Lin Li shook his head. Su Hua was always very mysterious, and very few people had seen her. He had only heard that she was extremely beautiful and quite young.
"Li'er, think carefully, for example, has one of her subordinates ever contacted you?" Jiang Shuqin pressed anxiously.
"Her car is parked right in front of the hotel. I think she came here for you."
Lin Li pondered carefully.
He recalled something and his eyes lit up. "Mom, two years ago, someone from Su Corporation came to ask about me. My classmates told me about it, but at the time, I thought he was joking, so I didn't take it seriously."
"So she really is here for you," Jiang Shuqin said proudly. Her son was truly outstanding; even someone like Su Hua, a big shot, would take notice of him.
Lin Chang's face also reflected his excitement.
If they could hitch their wagon to Su Hua, their Lin family would definitely soar to new heights!
"Li'er, this is how it is," Lin Chang said nervously. "Later, you must show your best side in front of the CEO, understand?"
"I will, Dad," Lin Li nodded.
Lin Chang added, "You come with me and help greet her. Don't keep her waiting."
"Okay."
The entire Lin family hurriedly left the banquet hall.
Lin Qingwan was not there, as she had just changed clothes and left to handle an urgent matter at the company.
As they were halfway there, the servant came running again, "Master, Madam, they have gotten off the car, and the one leading them is a very young and beautiful woman. She is accompanied by a bodyguard and a woman dressed as her secretary. They are heading in the direction of our banquet hall!"
Lin Chang's hands trembled with excitement. "It must be her!"
"Go and make arrangements, and make sure everyone at the birthday banquet knows Su Hua is here," Lin Chang ordered, his face flushed red.
He glanced at Lin Li with satisfaction. Indeed, Li'er was truly their family's lucky star, just as that master had foretold!
A few more steps and Lin Chang spotted Su Hua approaching from afar.
Su Hua wore a white evening gown today, a mermaid-style dress adorned with tiny diamonds that trailed behind her on the red carpet as she walked with grace and poise.
Her silky hair was loosely pinned up with a hairpin, with two slightly curled strands falling gently across her cheeks.
Su Hua's delicate features exuded a coldness and elegance, her gaze commanding respect.
Lin Li frowned.
Wasn't this the woman who had been keeping Lin Xuan? Why was she here?
"Master, Madam, that is her. She is the CEO," the servant said.
She is the CEO...
Those words echoed repeatedly in Lin Li's mind.
Impossible, how could this be?
The CEO of Su Corporation, such a prominent and noble woman, how could she possibly fancy Lin Xuan, that good-for-nothing?
"Could there be a mistake?" Lin Li asked urgently, feeling a chill in his limbs.
If she truly was Su Hua, then all the bravado he had shown in front of Lin Xuan earlier would become a cruel joke.
Su Corporation was far superior to Starlight Group...
"There won't be a mistake," Lin Chang said confidently. "The rumors say that Su Hua is cold, gorgeous, and breathtaking. This woman fits the description perfectly. Moreover, the woman next to her, Jiang Qing, is Su Hua's secretary. I've met her once."
"Jiang Qing only serves Su Hua, so anyone she is bowing and scraping to can only be Su Hua."
Lin Chang looked at Lin Li, "Li'er, it seems you've seen her before?"
"I've seen her twice," Lin Li said, clenching his fists.
"If that's the case, she must be here for your birthday banquet, Li'er. Go ahead and greet the CEO," Lin Chang smiled.
Lin Li moved forward hesitantly.
Although he hadn't offended Su Hua, could Lin Xuan have said something bad about him in front of her?
What if Su Hua sought retribution...
Lin Li's face turned pale.
Let alone him, even Starlight Group, in the face of the towering behemoth that was Su Corporation, was utterly insignificant; she could crush them whenever she pleased, merely a matter of time.
By this time, Su Hua had reached them.
Lin Chang stepped forward with a smile, "CEO Su, I am Lin Chang, the Chairman of Starlight Group, and also Li'er's father. I didn't expect CEO Su to grace us with your presence at Li'er's birthday banquet. If we've neglected any courtesies, I beg your forgiveness."
Su Hua glanced at him indifferently and did not speak.
Lin Chang chuckled awkwardly.
"CEO Su, this way please."
Su Hua behaved as before, not even sparing him a glance as she walked past.
Lin Chang looked puzzled at Lin Li.
Why did Li'er seem distraught?
Lin Chang disregarded it and continued to follow Su Hua, enthusiastically introducing the banquet and Lin Li.

I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
