Chapter 449: Attending a High-End Gathering (Part 1)

Shen Lingyao thought Zhao Qingfeng was joking.

How could there be such a coincidence that the beautiful daughter of a national-level official would suddenly emerge to pursue him?

Humph!

He wasn’t all that desirable.

At least in her eyes, he was just a naughty and flirty Brother Qingfeng.

Throughout middle school, no one pursued him except for her silly love for him. Who else would be so devoted to him?

But…

Maybe not entirely?

The Brother Qingfeng of the past had nothing, but the current him was rich.

Agile-minded, knowledgeable about technology, and knew everything.

If a girl really took a fancy to him and persisted, wouldn’t she end up being cuckolded?

“Hey, Brother Qingfeng, have you fallen for someone else?”

Shen Lingyao puffed her cheeks, frowning slightly, and asked with her hands on her hips.

“No!”

Zhao Qingfeng hurriedly assured, “Even if the sky falls, I won’t let you go.”

Shen Lingyao asked curiously, “Then why did you suddenly ask such a question? It’s so weird!”

Zhao Qingfeng honestly answered, “To be honest, your brother Brother Qingfeng is indeed handsome to the ends of the universe. So, such a super invincible, world-class handsome guy will naturally attract many girls. Like the minister, he invited me to his private banquet tonight and also mentioned his daughter in passing. It’s clear what he’s thinking, so I wanted to ask for your opinion.”

After hearing this, Shen Lingyao was dumbfounded, staring at Zhao Qingfeng, “Then why… why didn’t you refuse?”

Not attending would solve it, avoiding the acquaintance.

Zhao Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, “You really are a silly pheasant, don’t you understand the saying, ‘It’s not the theft but the thought that counts’?”

As they talked, the evening quickly approached.

At 6:30 p.m., Shen Lingyao nervously followed Zhao Qingfeng to a private club located in the city center.

The private club covered an area of about 6000 square meters.

Decorated elegantly and with an ancient charm.

Spanning six floors, standing on each level, one could see the Huangpu River from less than 500 meters away through the carved windows.

With boats weaving on the river and the bustling nightlife, the place was incredibly valuable.

Even Shen Lingyao, who had seen some high-end scenes, was shocked.

After the identity verification by the receptionist at the entrance, Shen Lingyao hesitated to go in.

She suddenly felt her status didn’t match this place.

But Zhao Qingfeng firmly took her hand, whispering in her ear, “Silly pheasant, follow me. If you can’t handle this small scene, how will you face even bigger ones in the future?”

In his eyes, it indeed was a small scene.

Compared to casually dining with Trump or chatting with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates in his previous life abroad, it was insignificant.

Shen Lingyao gained a bit of confidence and followed Zhao Qingfeng to the third floor.

This was a huge hall decorated in a classical style, with six luxurious dining tables made of precious wood spaced apart along the sides and a long table, twenty meters long and two meters wide, in the middle, covered with a white tablecloth and adorned with many exquisite delicacies.

Shen Lingyao couldn’t resist delicious food on ordinary days.

But today, she felt intimidated.

She had never attended such private gatherings with concerts and cocktail parties.

Especially upon seeing a group of men and women in suits and sparkling jewels, clearly the top echelon of wealth.
