Chapter 673: 669. It Was Because of Zhang Ran That It Declined (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

"Kaili, Ai Wei, join us for the banquet tonight." Wang Ya and Ai Wei were summoned to the leadership office.

The reason these two were called was because of the previous stinky tofu incident; regardless, these two had already shown their faces to Yin Long.

Moreover, the banquet was mostly for socializing, so it might just have some effect.

Wang Ya and Ai Wei were stunned for a moment, then immediately overjoyed; they had also heard that Galaxy Capital would be hosting a banquet tonight, inviting many capital groups from Europe and America.

They hadn't expected the leadership to specifically name them to come along; one had to know this was a great opportunity to build connections.

Investment institutions placed great importance on connections, and such a good opportunity was something many people couldn't even beg for, yet it had fallen upon them just like that.

"Alright, from now on, go back and prepare yourselves, then come back to the company to gather when the time comes."

"Thank you."

Wang Ya and Ai Wei walked out with excitement on their faces, and even after coming out, they still couldn't believe such a good thing had fallen on them.

"It must be because of that stinky tofu," Ai Wei guessed.

Wang Ya nodded as well; in fact, the reason wasn't hard to guess, after all, the person they had contact with at Galaxy Capital was Yin Long, and because of the stinky tofu incident, Yin Long had a certain impression of them and his perception of them wasn't bad.

So, bringing them along could barely be explained.

"Let's go, let's go buy clothes. I must dress up to be dazzling tonight. If I can hook a Prince Charming, that would be the best," Ai Wei said, already starting to fantasize.

Wang Ya said, "Is that necessary? We are going as supporting roles this time, and we should prepare more materials so we can pull in some clients when the time comes.

Besides, don't forget, we still have projects on hand, and you are the main person in charge of this project."

Wang Ya began to remind Ai Wei not to forget the real business. After listening, Ai Wei said indifferently, "This matter isn't urgent. This isn't a good time to pull investments, but a good time to build connections.

By the way, don't reveal your bottom line when the time comes. Pretend a little, and maybe you'll get quite a few people to take the initiative to come and get to know you."

Seeing that Ai Wei ignored her reminder and instead reminded her, Wang Ya could only shake her head helplessly; this highlighted the gap between Wang Ya and Ai Wei.

"Let's go, let's go," Ai Wei hurriedly grabbed Wang Ya and walked outside.

Wang Ya wanted to refuse, but then she heard Ai Wei say, "You can't possibly wear this outfit when the time comes. You definitely need to dress up a little, otherwise, it would be embarrassing if you get blocked at the door and aren't allowed in, or if you get mistaken for a server.

And it would also make the company lose face. Why did the leadership give us time off? To let you work? No, it's just to let us go tidy ourselves up."

Listening to Ai Wei's analysis, Wang Ya hesitated; she felt that what Ai Wei said didn't seem to have any flaws.

With Ai Wei half-pulling and half-dragging her, Wang Ya went shopping with Ai Wei, and then Wang Ya witnessed what a true shopaholic was.

Looking at the full shopping bags in Ai Wei's hands, Wang Ya couldn't help but remind her, "Can you even wear all that you bought? And it's just for one night tonight, is it worth it?"

"What do you know? I'm starting to doubt if you're even a woman. Many of a woman's clothes aren't meant to be worn, okay? Some clothes are bought just to be looked at," Ai Wei said.

Listening to this crooked logic of Ai Wei's, Wang Ya was completely convinced.

However, Ai Wei's taste was very good, and she picked out a very suitable evening gown for Wang Ya.

Just as Wang Ya was picking out a suitable dress, Wang Ya's mother, Liao Wei, was also preparing for the banquet tonight.

Tom looked at the dress Liao Wei was currently changing into, a slight obsession in his eyes, then whispered, "When are you going to divorce that guy?"

"Soon. Once his friend leaves the United States, we will divorce," Liao Wei said with a calm expression.

There was some excitement in Tom's eyes, then he said seriously, "Don't worry, I will give you a perfect wedding then."

A smile appeared on Liao Wei's face, but if one looked closely, it wasn't a smile of surprise or happiness, but seemed to be just a polite smile, only it was well-concealed.

"A wedding or whatever doesn't matter. I don't have any requirements for these things," Liao Wei said.

She then changed the subject and asked, "Do you think we have a chance to invest in Fengli Finance this time?"

This was the point Liao Wei cared about.

Tom was the person in their family responsible for this matter, and Liao Wei was involved in the specific details.

Once successful, it would be a great thing for Liao Wei; not to mention the interest involved, even such credentials would be a huge boon for her.

Tom thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "This matter is not as simple as you think."

"Hmm? How so?" In fact, Liao Wei had always sensed that Tom had some dealings with Galaxy Capital, but it hadn't been easy to ask before, and Tom hadn't intended to say anything.

But now, Liao Wei took the opportunity while Tom was thinking about marrying her to ask about the situation.

Tom was actually prepared to tell Liao Wei, so he sighed and said, "You know the situation of our family, right?"

"Of course I know," Liao Wei said.

"Then do you know why we suddenly became weak thirty years ago? Although it has improved a bit in recent years, it still hasn't recovered to the strength of thirty-some years ago," Tom said.

It wasn't just the financial loss; the biggest loss was their status and market in the oil industry.

This was the most important thing, and even now it hadn't recovered; in fact, if nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn't be able to recover to their original status in the oil market.

Because the current oil market had been carved up again, occupied by major giants, and Tom's family didn't dare to truly go against these people.

"I don't know," Liao Wei shook her head, an interested look appearing on her face.

Last time at Liliya's private gambling table, Liao Wei had only heard some things from the conversation between Tom and Yin Long, but it wasn't very comprehensive.

"Our losses that time were all caused by Zhang Ran. I'm not in a position to go into the specific details, because actually, even now we don't know everything very clearly. Isn't that funny?" As he spoke, Tom gave a bitter smile.

Having suffered such a huge loss, even losing family members, yet in the end, they found they hadn't truly seen through everything.

Liao Wei felt a shock in her heart upon hearing this; although she didn't know exactly what had happened, she could sense something just from Tom's words.
