Chapter 188

After finishing with Xiao Ya, Qin Ze turned to look at Su Qingqing:

"Qingqing, everything is ready for the new security company."

"The procedures on Brother Hu's side have all been handled, and the company's business license, qualifications, and personnel allocation are all in place."

"Next Monday, you go and take office."

Su Qingqing nodded:

"No problem."

Qin Ze stood up and clapped his hands:

"Alright, everything that needed to be explained has been explained."

"You two should just stay here today and get familiar with the environment."

"It's fine to stay here tonight too."

Su Qingqing asked:

"President Qin, aren't you staying?"

Qin Ze shook his head:

"I have things to do tonight."

"You two have fun, and call me if anything happens."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the villa.

Watching Qin Ze leave the villa courtyard and get into the car.

Xiao Ya leaned against the door frame and said softly:

"Qingqing, do you think President Qin is too good to us?"

Su Qingqing watched the receding taillights and patted Xiao Ya:

"Yeah, too good, so good that I feel I'm a bit unworthy of this kindness."

Xiao Ya was silent for a few seconds, then said:

"I can't even imagine now that one day I'd be able to live in a villa."

It was already afternoon when Qin Ze returned to the hotel.

He took a shower and was changing clothes.

Ye Zhuzhu sent a message:

"I'm downstairs at the hotel, come down."

Qin Ze replied with one word:

"Okay."

Put on a suit and tied his tie.

Walking downstairs, he saw Ye Zhuzhu's car parked at the entrance.

The window rolled down, revealing Ye Zhuzhu's stunning face.

Today, Ye Zhuzhu was wearing a wine-red evening gown.

Her hair was put up, revealing her slender neck and exquisite collarbone.

She looked noble and elegant.

At a glance, she was a successful wealthy woman.

Ye Zhuzhu saw Qin Ze, looked him up and down, and nodded with satisfaction:

"This is the first time I've seen you dressed so formally."

Qin Ze opened the passenger door and sat in.

The car started and drove toward Qingquan Mansion.

Along the way, Ye Zhuzhu chatted with Qin Ze while driving:

"First time attending this kind of banquet, nervous?"

Qin Ze smiled:

"What's there to be nervous about?"

Ye Zhuzhu said:

"Attending a banquet of this level for the first time, ordinary people would be nervous."

Qin Ze said:

"Am I an ordinary person?"

Ye Zhuzhu smiled:

"Also true, you little brother, you have a lot of guts."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have wanted me!"

The car drove for about twenty minutes and entered a manor.

Qingquan Mansion.

This manor is located on the hillside in the western suburbs of Jiangcheng and covers a vast area.

The car drove along a winding tree-lined path, with neatly trimmed lawns and precious landscape trees on both sides.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the manor, a waiter immediately came up to open the door.

Entering the mansion building, the first thing you see is the lobby!

On both sides of the lobby, long buffet tables were set up, filled with exquisite dishes and precious red wine.

Guests in suits and evening gowns gathered in twos and threes, chatting and exchanging pleasantries.

Ye Zhuzhu walked into the lobby with Qin Ze, and someone immediately noticed them.

Ye Zhuzhu is very famous in Jiangcheng; after all, she is the head of the Guanghui Group and a great beauty.

As soon as she appeared, many people came up to greet her.

"President Ye! Long time no see!"

"President Ye, this is..."

Ye Zhuzhu responded with a smile, appropriate and generous.

Qin Ze followed Ye Zhuzhu through the lobby.

And Ye Zhuzhu patiently introduced everyone at the scene to Qin Ze!

He found that he didn't know a single person here.

However.

He knew every single one of their sons.

The first half of the banquet was nothing more than eating, drinking, and exchanging pleasantries.

Qin Ze held a glass of red wine and stood in the corner, watching these so-called Jiangcheng elites socializing.

But Qin Ze observed for a long time!

And didn't see any difference between these so-called big shots and ordinary people!

On the contrary, Qin Ze found!

These people spoke vulgarly, and some even lacked class.

And their behavior was very flamboyant, not much different from people drinking at a street barbecue stall!

Qin Ze felt the only difference.

Was that these people had succeeded!

Just as Qin Ze was chatting with Ye Zhuzhu while observing the scene.

A man suddenly walked toward them.

This man was about thirty-five years old, his hair combed meticulously, and a gentle and elegant smile on his face.

He walked over and looked directly at Ye Zhuzhu:

"Zhuzhu, long time no see."

When Ye Zhuzhu saw this man, the smile on her face faded significantly.

"President Ning, long time no see."

Qin Ze learned the identity of this man through their conversation!

This man is named Ning Yi.

He is in the luxury goods business and is considered a prominent figure in Jiangcheng.

That he likes Ye Zhuzhu is no secret in the circle.

Ning Yi looked at Ye Zhuzhu, his eyes carrying a hint of fervor:

"Zhuzhu, you look really beautiful in this outfit today."

Ye Zhuzhu smiled:

"President Ning is too kind."

Ning Yi's gaze then fell on Qin Ze.

He saw Qin Ze's young face and saw Qin Ze standing beside Ye Zhuzhu, the distance between them very close.

His eyes flashed with a hint of gravity instantly.

But he quickly returned to normal and asked with a smile:

"Zhuzhu, who is this?"

Ye Zhuzhu said:

"This is my friend, Qin Ze, who works in investment."

Ning Yi looked at Qin Ze and reached out his hand:

"Mr. Qin, hello, I am Ning Yi."

Qin Ze shook hands with him:

"President Ning, long admired."

Ning Yi said with a smile:

"Mr. Qin is so young and already working in investment, truly young and promising."

"I wonder which investment company Mr. Qin is working for?"

Qin Ze said:

"Just messing around on my own, not a formal company."

Ning Yi nodded:

"Then this is Mr. Qin's first time attending this kind of banquet, right?"

He said this politely, but his tone carried a hint of subtle probing.

Qin Ze smiled:

"Yes, first time here."

Ning Yi nodded and said with a smile:

"Then Mr. Qin should get to know more people."

"In this kind of occasion, moving around more is good for future development."

After saying that, he didn't look at Qin Ze anymore, but turned to Ye Zhuzhu and said:

"Zhuzhu, I have a few friends over there who want to get to know you, would you like to go over and chat?"

Ye Zhuzhu said lightly:

"Another day, I'm accompanying a friend today."

Ning Yi's expression changed slightly.

But he still maintained his smile:

"Alright then, let's make an appointment another day."

He turned to leave but stopped again, looking at Qin Ze:

"Mr. Qin, I wonder what your family does?"

Qin Ze looked at him and smiled:

"Ordinary family."

Ning Yi nodded and asked again:

"Then Mr. Qin's status today... which company are you representing?"

He asked this very directly.

The meaning was very clear: Who brought you? What qualifications do you have to stand here?

Ye Zhuzhu's brows furrowed, and just as she was about to speak to interrupt, Qin Ze spoke first:

"I was brought by President Ye, just here to see and learn."

Ning Yi nodded, the smile on his face fading a bit:

"So that's how it is."

Then Ning Yi changed his previous humility!

Looking at Qin Ze, his expression carried the disdain of a superior, and then he said to Qin Ze in a condescending tone:

"Mr. Qin, I have some business matters to discuss with President Ye."

"Would it be convenient for you to wait on the side for a moment?"

This was said in a way that allowed no room for questioning.

Just like an adult dismissing a child.
