Chapter 65: Shen Yuzhou

“Lin Yuan?” A greasy male voice came from beside her. Lin Yuan looked up and saw Zhao Qingzhong, the man she had been set up on a blind date with at the coffee shop, standing in front of her with a glass of red wine in his hand, his face full of fat.

This man had been up to no good from the first time they met, and Lin Yuan had been avoiding him, not wanting to have anything to do with him.

The sofa on the left sank in by a large margin, and Zhao Qingzhong sat down next to Lin Yuan, swaying the goblet in his hand, his greasy face close to her. “What, you’re not willing to be with me now that you’ve got a rich man backing you?”

Lin Yuan glared at him fiercely, got up and was about to leave. This plague, the more you dealt with him, the more difficult he would be to deal with.

But as soon as she moved, her wrist was grabbed by Zhao Qingzhong from behind, and she was pulled up. “Don’t get smart with me, don’t put on that high and mighty act for who? Tell me, how much money will it take for you to be with me?”

Lin Yuan frowned, took a glass of red wine from the waiter, and poured it directly onto Zhao Qingzhong’s face. “Scum!”

The sudden glass of wine made Zhao Qingzhong burn with anger. Many strange eyes shot over, and he felt that his face had been greatly insulted. He raised his hand to hit Lin Yuan.

However, before his arm could fall, it was suddenly clamped by someone. “What are you doing, Mr. Zhao?”

A cold, but slightly reckless male voice came from behind. Zhao Qingzhong turned his head, the man behind him was a head taller than him, wearing a flashy wine-red suit, his aura was fierce.

“What do you mean, Mr. Shen?” Zhao Qingzhong pulled his hand out of Shen Yuzhou’s grasp, wiping his face randomly, full of embarrassment.

Shen Yuzhou’s eyes swept over Lin Yuan, a smile curled at the corner of his lips as he looked at Zhao Qingzhong. “Shouldn’t I be asking you, Mr. Zhao? You know what kind of banquet this is, right? All the famous and influential people in Yancheng are watching. Are you trying to make a name for yourself, Mr. Zhao?”

His words seemed light and airy, but Zhao Qingzhong calmed down and naturally knew the stakes. Although he had a mouthful of anger in his heart, the occasion didn’t allow it, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed it down.

He glared fiercely at Lin Yuan. “You wait for me!” He turned and left.

Lin Yuan rubbed her wrist, which had been grabbed by him, and looked up at Shen Yuzhou to thank him. “Thank you.”

Shen Yuzhou was still the same, not too serious. “Don’t mention it, this banquet was hosted by the Shen family, if anything happens, the Shen family will be the ones to suffer, I’m not really helping you.”

Lin Yuan smiled, Shen Yuzhou extended his right hand towards her. “Shen Yuzhou.”

Out of social etiquette, Lin Yuan’s hand lightly touched Shen Yuzhou’s before separating. “Lin Yuan, designer at Ary.”

Lin Yuan naturally knew who Shen Yuzhou was, the eldest son of the Shen family.

He was also the host of this banquet.

The Shen family was one of the most powerful families in Yancheng twenty years ago, but for some unknown reason, from the generation of Shen Anguo, Shen Yuzhou’s father, they shifted their focus entirely to overseas. Shen Anguo was indeed a business prodigy, in just a few years, he made a name for himself on Wall Street in New York, and now he is thriving.

But Shen Anguo’s eldest son, Shen Yuzhou, was a typical playboy, he was good at eating, drinking, and having fun, but he was not interested in inheriting the family business. It was Shen Anguo’s daughter who followed him into the business world.

Now everyone is saying that the Shen family is going to return to their homeland, enter the domestic market, and the first stop will be Yancheng, followed by a foray into the capital.

Shen Yuzhou put his hand in his pocket, his posture casual. “Designer at Ary, huh.” He drew out his tone, looking at Lin Yuan with a meaningful look. “I hope I have the chance to work with Miss Lin.”

Although this man seemed a little reckless on the surface, Lin Yuan always felt that his eyes were sinister, staring at people in a way that made them feel uneasy. She politely said a few words, then wanted to leave.

“Excuse me, Mr. Shen, I’ll take my leave.” When she splashed Zhao Qingzhong earlier, wine had splashed onto her dress, and now she had a good excuse to leave.

Shen Yuzhou shrugged, gesturing for her to go ahead.

Lin Yuan stood in front of the mirror in the restroom, tidying her clothes. As she raised her head, she met Lin Fang Fei’s eyes in the mirror. She looked away without any expression.

“Yuan Ye, I never knew you were so capable. Does your husband know that you’re out here, charming everyone?” She applied lipstick, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan in the mirror.

Lin Fang Fei had instigated Zhao Qingzhong to make things difficult for Lin Yuan, but who knew that Shen Yuzhou, the eldest son of the Shen family, would show up.

As everyone knew, Shen Yuzhou was not a man who played by the rules, Lin Fang Fei couldn’t figure out his temperament, so she didn’t dare to approach him rashly.

Lin Yuan didn’t even look at her. “Don’t everyone know that I have someone behind me? What, do you think you’re living too comfortably and want to find some trouble?”

Lin Fang Fei couldn’t stand her superior attitude, thinking about what was going to happen later, a slow smile spread across her face. “I hope you can still smile so happily later.”

Lin Yuan came out of the restroom, Leng Qing was just looking for her. “Let’s go, go and greet Director Liu.”

Director Liu was the second-in-command of the Yancheng Planning Bureau. Ary, as the top design company in Yancheng, had the most frequent contact with the Planning Bureau. Before coming, Wang Rui had specifically instructed them to make sure they showed their faces in front of Director Liu.

To their surprise, as soon as they reached Director Liu, he took the initiative to greet them. “Wang Rui, your boss, has informed me in advance, saying that I must take good care of you two little girls.”

Leng Qing and Lin Yuan looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.

Businessmen are always a level lower than officials, Director Liu being so proactive, made them feel a little flattered.

He was lowering himself to chat with them, two young employees, of course, Leng Qing and Lin Yuan didn’t dare to be neglectful, so when Director Liu raised his glass, Lin Yuan and Leng Qing didn’t dare to refuse.

Before the wine reached her mouth, her cup was covered by a hand. Director Liu had a gentle smile on his face. “This wine has a strong aftertaste, little girls are better off drinking juice.”

He raised his hand to signal the waiter to bring over some juice. “Just have some juice.”

After entertaining Director Liu, Leng Qing went to entertain others, Lin Yuan didn’t know what was going on, after drinking a glass of juice, her head started to feel dizzy.

She shook her head, but instead of getting better, she felt more and more confused. She slowly leaned against the wall and walked out, thinking that if she went to the door and got some fresh air, maybe she would feel better.

From the banquet hall to the front door, you had to pass through a not-too-long corridor. She had just walked halfway through the corridor when a pair of men’s hands suddenly reached out from the side of the corridor, pulling her over.

Lin Yuan didn’t have time to scream, her mouth was already covered, and her body hit the door, a fishy smell filled her nostrils.

She widened her eyes in terror, twisting her body to struggle, but she was like she had been drained of all her strength, unable to move.
