Zhou Yuanfeng glanced at Wen Niannan, who didn’t look very well, there was some worry in his eyes: “Niannan, let’s go to the second floor, there are too many people here, it’s noisy.”

“Okay.”

Sure enough, there were very few people on the second floor, only two and three people chatting and drinking, Wen Niannan sat on the couch by the stairs.

“My aunt told me about President Jiang’s announcement of the project at the party, they asked the people from the Gu Group to say a few words, and ASheng isn’t here, can you go up?

Wen Niannan was astonished when he heard that and lowered his head: “No…no, what I’m going to say? I don’t know anything about the company, Yuanfeng, you can go, how can I speak for the Gu when I don’t belong to the company?”

Zhou Yuanfeng actually expected that Wen Niannan would refuse, but still felt the need to ask his opinion, he nodded and agreed.

Not far downstairs, a group of people was surrounding a man who was talking and laughing, his voice was loud. Zhou Yuanfeng squinted and looking at them, it was Qin Qibai.

Some people in the Qin family, of course, hurried to fawn, but Qin Qibai downstairs still had that arrogant and high-and-mighty attitude.

“Young President Qin, how is your father’s health? Why I haven’t seen him here?”

“Mr. Xiao Qin’s recent investments have made a lot of money, right? He really has a good vision.”

“I heard that President Jiang is going to announce the partners of the new project today, I’m wondering which company can take it away, I think President Xiao Qin got it, congratulations!”

When Qin Qibai heard about the new project, the smile on the corner of his mouth instantly solidified, his face slowly became uglier.

“Yeah, that project was a piece of fat meat, Young President Qin is really marvelous, quite the style of President Qin back then.”

Somebody suddenly asked: “Huh? I heard Mr. Han said that the Gu group was the one selected, how’s possible Mr. Qin be knocked to the ground by the president of the Gu family?”

“Really? Gu Yansheng took it?”

Not only did he fail to get the project, but he was also knocked by Gu Yansheng on the ground?

Many people around who were still complimenting Qin Qibai stopped silently, their eyes full of mockery.

When Qin Qibai heard Gu Yansheng’s name, his face turned black, his anger became even more severe, he pushed the people away and walked to the couch to sit down.

Suddenly there was a commotion at the door, Qin Qibai looked impatiently at the door, but saw who was standing at the door, his eyes suddenly turned somber.

Gu Yansheng again…

Most of the people on the second floor were friends of Mr. Jiang, Zhou Yuanfeng also walked over to greet someone he knew, only Wen Niannan was left alone, sitting on the couch a bit conspicuous, from time to time the people passing by cast him a questionable look.

Wen Niannan couldn’t sit still a bit, he stood up, picking up a glass of wine like the other ones in the hall, then he walked to the stair, but stared at the wine glass in his hand in confusion.

He had never known his mother knew Mrs. Jiang before, also his father had never mentioned his mother’s previous friends to him.

His mother wanted him to be happy and live for himself, but how can he abandon everything just to be himself?

There was a noise coming from the door, sounding like something big was about to happen, Wen Niannan shook the wine glass in his hand then he looked at the door, Zhou Yuanfeng also walked up to the stairs, looking down in confusion.

Upon appearing the two men at the door, Wen Niannan’s pupils suddenly sank and his eyes flickering slightly, it was Gu Yansheng…wasn’t he coming…

His gaze slowly fell on the hand he was holding, after seeing who was standing beside him, there was no surprise in his eyes, it was Shen Luoan…

When Zhou Yuanfeng saw that Gu Yansheng had come with Shen Luoan, he realized that the guy was crazy, he was self-willed and angry regardless of the occasion.

Gu Yansheng actually took Shen Luoan to the party, wasn’t that just announcing his identity to everyone? Didn’t he think everyone else’s jokes were enough?

He walked into the hall hand in hand with Shen Luoan, some familiar friends of the business community stepped up to say hello.

And those who knew that the project had been taken by Mr. Gou also went by, Gu Yansheng was surrounded by them in a short while.

“Mr. Gu, this is Mr. Gu’s husband, right? You’re a really good match.”

“Mr. Gu won this project this time, Mr. Lu must be very pleased, congratulations, the tiger mother has no dogs.”

Listening to the compliments and compliments of the people around him, and although Shen Luoan had a polite and elegant smile on his face, his eyes were full of indelible pride and complacency that could not be hidden.

Gu Yansheng kept his face cold since he entered from the door, not paying attention to those people, frowning, he scanned the people in the hall, but not seeing the person he was looking for.

As if aware of the scorching sight cast upstairs, Gu Yansheng looked at the second floor, that’s when he saw Wen Niannan, who was also looking at him dressed in a white suit, their eyes met instantly, both were taken by surprise.

When Gu Yansheng saw the white suit on Wen Niannan’s body, he was slightly startled, his eyes flashed in astonishment, hiding well the emotion in his eyes, then he averted his gaze, with a strange emotion taking place in his heart.

He felt extremely irritable out of a sudden, he reached over, taking Shen Luoan’s hand, raising his eyes after that for one more time to look at the man upstairs.

As if he hadn’t seen it, Wen Niannan took a step back, leaving that side of the stairs, seeing that he had left, Gu Yansheng’s eyes dropped, letting go of his hand.

“Yansheng, what are you looking at?”

A little surprised that Gu Yansheng suddenly held his hand moments ago, Shen Luoan fixed his eyes to look upstairs, but he only saw Zhou Yuanfeng with a somber face.

Gu Yansheng glared at Zhou Yuanfeng who was staring at him from upstairs, he motioned to come down, but Zhou Yuanfeng ignored him, turning away.

“It’s nothing, I’ll take you to say hello to President Jiang.”

Qin Qibai looked at the man who was just flattering him a while ago, then ran to Gu Yansheng in front of him, changing his expression, the resentment in his eyes was even worse, he clenched his fists.

“It seems that the Gu family really got that project, look at the rich young masters who were pulling up to the sky, I thought it was from the Qin family, I’m really disappointed.”

“Well, it seems that the heir of the Qin family is not as powerful as the Gu’s family.”

Qin Qibai suddenly stepped forward, hitting the two who were talking, gritting his teeth, he said: “Who said I was inferior to him? What kind of person is he! If he hadn’t been lucky enough for someone to save him, he would have died!”

“I’m…I’m sorry, Mr. Qin, I didn’t mean it, I’m sorry…” Both of them run away, too scared to turn their heads to look back.

Qin Qibai’s chest was up and down panting, violently slamming the glass of wine in his hand, staring gruesomely at the not-so-distant Gu Yansheng and Shen Luoan.

“These two blemishes! Wait for me!”

Suddenly remembering the plan that had come to his mind, Qin Qibai’s mouth suddenly raised, appearing a dark smile, loosening his tie, he got up and left the hall.

When Xiao Zhao saw Qin Qibai coming out, he stood in front of the car, opening the door, then closed the door and started the engine.

“Hey, Sun Qi, I want you to do it now, take advantage that there is a crowd of people making it easier, do it quickly.”

“I warned you not to run under my nose like you did last time, if you do it again one more time, I wouldn’t mind letting my father break your other leg.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Qibai was in a particularly good mood, leaning back comfortably with his legs up, his eyes scrawled a cruel look.

When he returned home the night before, his father found out that he had been beaten by Gu Yansheng, his father reprimanded him for being so stupid that he couldn’t even use his tactics, he felt that he had lost the reputation of the Qin family, so he punished him to to be on his knees in the study for two hours.

“Do you know how important this project was? I want you to get it by whatever means you use! If you have been by my side for all these years but still can’t even use those means, why did I raise you for?”

Qin Qibai took out a cigar, holding it in his hand, he touched his face, which was still aching, the cold light in his eyes was particularly evident.

“Lord? Oh, Gu Yansheng, I don’t think you dare be so mad this time, I want to watch you kneel and abandon the project! I’m going to give you a taste of public humiliation!”

“Tonight is really a beautiful night, and the show is about to begin.”

Mrs. Jiang looked at Shen Luoan who was sitting opposite her, her eyes were full of displeasure, she left the first floor to rest.

President Jiang glanced at Shen Luoan with a false smile on his face, frowning, he said: “Little Gu, come with me, we will announce the cooperation project with Gu.”

“All right.”

Gu Yansheng nodded lightly, turned around, and whispered to Shen Luoan: “Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon. Don’t walk around.”

Shen Luoan nodded obediently: “Okay, I’ll just wait for you here.”

The smile on Gu Yansheng’s face disappeared as soon as he left behind Shen Luoan, a look of cruelty took his eyes.

“I smiled so hard that my face us numb, that old thing dared to show me his face, isn’t it just not convinced to bring me here instead of Wen Niannan.”

Then he remembered that those people in the hall just now looked at him with respect, complimenting him, he couldn’t help but feel a little pleased.

A few waiters not far away ran forward with the glasses of wine, the waiter at the end walked too vigorously, occasioning them to trip down, a wine glass in his trembling hand fell to the ground, splashing the drink on Shen Luoan’s suit pants.

Shen Luoan’s face changed immediately, he slapped the waiter: “Why did you do it! Do you know how much my suit costs?”

“I’m… I’m sorry, Mrs. Gu*, I’m sorry, I was in a hurry to pass the wine…”

Shen Luoan looked around, seeing the empty place, he turned his head, saying in a high-pitched tone: “Then you will kneel and apologize, and I won’t say anything.”

“That… Mrs. Gu, I…”

“If you don’t kneel, I will tell President Jiang, you also know the relationship between President Jiang and Gu’s family in the business, if you don’t want to find a job in the City, kneel!”

The waiter glanced at the pieces on the ground, his eyes evading, hesitating, he clenched his fists, finally choosing to kneel.

“So…sorry.”

“It’s almost the same, get out.”

Shen Luoan shook his hand, disgusted, he looked at the person on the ground, he stood up, going to the bathroom to clean up.

“Tsk tsk, Mr. Tang, take a look at him, what a well-behaved and compliant little piano prince, he’s obviously a wolf in sheep’s skin, is Gu Yansheng blind?”

Tang Lunxuan glanced in the direction Shen Luoan had left, frowning, he approached, helping the waiter who was picking up the broken pieces of the wine glass.
