Chapter 393
"Don't say, you really do look suited for carrying trays like that, Ming Yuan, don't you think so!"
Yu Ling raised her face, with an indescribable look of mockery and ridicule.
"Haha!"
Chen Mingyuan sized him up and down and burst into laughter, "That's true!"
However, he also knew that this kid had some background. After all, at eighteen, he managed to join a legitimate community hospital as a doctor, so there must be some connections behind him. Although he was suspended, he wouldn't really fall to the point of carrying trays.
He's also going to the seventh floor, probably like them, to attend the district's party too.
But he's not an important figure, just being brought along by others to get a free meal!
They, on the other hand, are different. They were invited, unlike this kid who isn't in their league.
Xia Bei turned his head, glanced at them, and frowned slightly.
It seems they are also attending the party. Right, Brother Chen Qiang mentioned that this Chen Mingyuan owns several companies which, though not large in scale, have quite an asset. And this Yu Ling, whose daughter is a big star, is also wealthy and might have invested in quite a few enterprises.
"You guys are going to the seventh floor too? What a bummer!"
Xia Bei rolled his eyes at them.
"What... what do you mean bummer? We're the unlucky ones running into you! Such bad luck! I haven't even settled the score for what happened that day! Who do you think you are, daring to mess with my daughter!"
Yu Ling erupted in anger, shrieking curses with a complete shrew attitude.
Xia Bei smirked, not bothering to argue, and turned away.
"Trash like you, going to the seventh floor with us? You're probably just there for a free meal! Acting all high and mighty, we're the ones actually invited, do you even know how much money Ming Yuan and I have? You'd be scared to death!"
"You're not even qualified to stand here with us, hurry and leave, or I'll call someone to kick you out and embarrass you!"
Yu Ling continued to rant, almost driven insane with anger.
"Yu Ling, don't stoop to his level, getting angry over someone like him isn't worth it, just treat him as air and ignore him, he's just there for a free meal," Chen Mingyuan said seemingly in persuasion but with a sarcastic undertone.
The elevator arrived, and the two went out first.
Yu Ling was still not over it, she turned back, shouted a tirade, then swayed her hips as she walked to the entrance of the venue, spotting someone standing there. Her eyes lit up, a passionate smile spread across her flamboyant face.
"Mrs. Chen!"
She let go of her husband and quickly walked up, her face full of flattery and adulation.
The Mrs. Chen in front of her was a standard official's wife, the district mayor's wife, and a very influential figure in Jiang City, someone many wanted to ingratiate themselves with but couldn't.
She might have some money, having risen to fame because of her daughter, but in others' eyes, she was already someone of a certain status. However, in front of someone of Mrs. Chen's elite status, she was nothing.
Just one word from Mrs. Chen could make her business fail.
"Boss Zhu!"
Wang Yaqiu smiled, exchanged polite greetings.
She had long known her, having a daughter who's a big star, quite wealthy, doing a lot of business in Jiang City, and even opening several beauty salons, which she had visited.
"Mrs. Chen, you're getting more and more beautiful, glowing with radiance. Have you encountered some joyful events lately, feeling rejuvenated!" Zhu Yuling flattered, "Mrs. Chen, recently there are some new projects with great results, you should try them, it will surely make you more beautiful."
Wang Yaqiu smiled, a trace of shyness flashing in her eyes.
She indeed felt rejuvenated, but it wasn't due to any joyful events...
"Mrs. Chen, let me show you..."
Zhu Yuling passionately flipped through some photos, intending to introduce the projects to her, but the person she was waiting for, couldn't care less, occasionally looking up towards the end of the corridor.
"Mrs. Chen, are you waiting for someone? Who is it?"
Zhu Yuling soon noticed.
"A very important guest, I've been waiting here specially!" Wang Yaqiu replied.
Zhu Yuling felt a stir.
For someone like Mrs. Chen, an important guest would certainly be someone extraordinary, either a heavyweight entrepreneur or a more powerful elite.
This opportunity definitely shouldn't be missed!
She had the idea of making an acquaintance and stayed put, then said, "Mrs. Chen, later on, there's a very annoying guy, not any important figure, just here for a free meal, could you help me kick him out."
"Oh!"
Wang Yaqiu didn't think much, nodded, her eyes always gazed towards the end of the corridor, waiting anxiously.
After a while, someone turned the corner at the end of the corridor, and her eyes instantly lit up.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yuling squinted her eyes in disgust, poked with her hand, and said to Wang Yaqiu beside her, "Mrs. Chen, it's him, that kid, hurry and kick him out. That kid, pretending to be some miracle doctor while taking advantage of my daughter during treatment, he's a scoundrel, a bastard."
Just as Wang Yaqiu was about to greet, hearing her words, she froze momentarily. Her dainty brows furrowed, and as she looked at this Boss Zhu, her gaze cooled a bit, tinged with some pity...
