"What's the matter? Does Director Zhu think I'm not worthy of meeting Miss Zhu?" Bo Keli's expression darkened as he stared coldly at Zhu Zhengkun.

Zhu Zhengkun's face changed slightly, and he forced a smile, "How could that be?"

Feeling utterly helpless inside, Zhu Zhengkun still had no choice but to wave at Zhu Jing and call out, "Jing!"

Zhu Jing was chatting with a group of young men and women. Hearing the call, she turned her head, looked at them, and said apologetically, "Sorry, my dad is calling me. Please excuse me for a moment!"

"Your uncle is calling you? Then let me accompany you there; I can also pay a visit to your uncle!" A young man said with a light laugh.

Zhu Jing's face slightly changed, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she neither refused nor agreed, turning around to walk toward Zhu Zhengkun.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips curving into a sinister smile, his eyes moving up and down Zhu Jing's back, assessing her as he followed her.

"It's over! Zhu Jing has caught Si Mo'er's eye!"

"Si Mo'er is just trash; he even said he only loved me before, but..."

"Miss Zhu being targeted by this shameless guy Si Mo'er means there's no chance for us!"

"That's right, this guy never gives up until he achieves his goals. By the time he gets bored, all we will be able to do is pick up the leftovers; better forget it!"

"Forget it, forget it, what a pity. I was thinking of winning Miss Zhu over to catch a ride on Director Zhu's coattails, but it seems hopeless now!"

Watching the backs of Zhu Jing and another person as they left, other men and women murmured among themselves, some women even showing expressions of indignation.

'Dad!" Approaching Zhu Zhengkun, Zhu Jing called out softly.

Bo Keli's eyes lit up, his face taking on a look of lechery, his eyes narrowing into slits as he assessed Zhu Jing as if she were an item.

"Jing, this is Mr. Bo Keli," Zhu Zhengkun frowned slightly, giving Zhu Jing a meaningful look, and gestured toward Bo Keli with his hand.

Catching Zhu Zhengkun's look, Zhu Jing understood, glanced at Si Mo'er who was walking over from the side, her lips curving slightly with a plan forming in her mind!

"Hello Mr. Bo Keli, I'm Zhu Jing!" Zhu Jing said, forcing a smile as she reached out her hand.

"Hello, hello, Miss Zhu, you are the most beautiful lady I have seen." Bo Keli grasped Zhu Jing's hand, caressing the back of her hand back and forth.

Zhu Jing's face changed slightly; she tried to pull her hand away gently but couldn't, her expression stiffened, and she forced a smile, "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Bo Keli."

"Hello, I am a descendant from the Stanya Family of the Northern Confederation, Si Mo'er!" Following him, Si Mo'er glanced at Bo Keli's hands and a cold look flashed in his eyes as he spoke indifferently.

Following that, Si Mo'er stretched his hand directly in front of Bo Keli.

Bo Keli's expression flared up in anger, but as he was about to burst out, he suddenly realized something and looked at Si Mo'er in surprise, "You're from the Stanya Family of the Northern Confederation, one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families?"

"Yes!" Si Mo'er replied proudly, tilting his head up and stretching out his hand once more.

Bo Keli paused for a moment, glanced at Zhu Jing, and with a smirk full of scorn, looked at Si Mo'er, "So what if you are? I know all the legitimate descendants of the Stanya family, and how come I don't know you?"

Snap!

A sharp sound echoed as Bo Keli slapped Si Mo'er's hand away.

"You dare touch me? Who do you think you are?"

Si Mo'er's face changed as he shouted angrily.

The two men looked like they were about to start a confrontation.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of Bo Keli raising his hand, Zhu Jing forcefully pulled her hand from his grasp.

She took a step back, wanting to see how she could extract herself.

Suddenly, a burst of noise erupted.

"Yè Yùwǎn! Is that Yè Yùwǎn?"

"It really is the Pure Heavenly Queen Yè Yùwǎn! Who is that with her?"

"Don't know him! But he's really handsome!"

"He is handsome! Could he be some top-tier celebrity? But he looks unfamiliar!"

Following the voices, a group of young men and women turned their gaze toward the entrance of the banquet hall.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, Jiang Chen, Yè Yùwǎn, Elder Ming, and Wu Qingshuang walked in.

Jiang Chen was in a crisply tailored suit, standing tall and straight.

Ever since his power had increased, a transcendental and dust-free aura naturally emanated from him. Coupled with his handsome face, he immediately drew gasps of admiration from many women in the banquet hall.

By his side, Yè Yùwǎn clung to Jiang Chen's arm, her hair cascading behind her, paired with her delicate face, it stirred a heart-fluttering emotion in onlookers.

In a slit Flame Robe, her enticing figure was outlined vividly, and her long legs appeared and disappeared with each step, adding a hint of allure to her demeanor.

Behind them were Elder Ming in formal attire and Wu Qingshuang in a tight outfit.

Wu Qingshuang was the young miss of Unchanging Valley, also very beautiful, with a perfect figure shaped by martial training from a young age, and her hair tied in a ponytail, looking siwft and valiant!

The four of them entered the banquet hall and immediately captured everyone's attention.

The ones shouting were the children of various directors and partners who lacked the qualifications to attend the annual Wanguo Bank conference, and had not seen Jiang Chen, while those who had attended eyed Jiang Chen, silently contemplating how to establish a good relationship with him.

They all understood that a good relationship with Jiang Chen meant opening up the market of the Flame Dragon Kingdom.

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Seeing Jiang Chen arrive, both Zhu Zhengkun and Zhu Jing's faces lit up, and they quickly stepped forward to greet him, leaving Bo Keli and Si Mo'er abruptly hanging.

But at this moment, Bo Keli and his companion had no time to mind the attitude of Zhu Zhengkun; they were staring at Yè Yùwǎn, almost starry-eyed!

"Director Zhu, Miss Zhu!" Jiang Chen greeted them with a light smile.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for helping my dad!" Zhu Jing gratefully looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Miss Zhu, you are too polite. Director Zhu has helped me a lot in the past, and now that I can be of assistance, of course I had to lend a hand!"

"Mr. Jiang, could you please not be so formal with me? Miss Zhu, Miss Zhu, it makes us sound so distant. We once argued together, after all! Just call me Little Jing!"

Zhu Jing pursed her lips in a smile, having felt through their interactions in the meetings that although Jiang Chen's status had increased and he was imposing at the conference, his attitude towards her and her father hadn't changed, which emboldened her.

"Ah?" Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, instinctively glancing at Yè Yùwǎn.

"Miss Yè, we are just ordinary friends, I just didn't want Mr. Jiang to sound too distant, you wouldn't mind, right?" Zhu Jing turned to look at Yè Yùwǎn, slightly nervous.

"Of course not, I trust Jiang Chen."

Yè Yùwǎn smiled lightly, then looked curiously at Jiang Chen, "A friendship forged through an argument? Who did you and Miss Zhu argue with?"
