Hearing what He Mengxue said, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment.

tomorrow?

It seems like tomorrow is the time for the Peninsula Club to have a gathering.

Could it be that He Mengxue also participated in the Peninsula Club?

When he thought of this, Chen Yan suddenly felt that this peninsula didn't seem to be so high-class.

Why can only the richest people enter? Can't He Mengxue also participate?

While thinking, Chen Yan said nonchalantly, "You don't mean the Peninsula Club? Your father gave me the invitation."

He Mengxue on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment when she heard Chen Yan's words.

Peninsula meeting?

Did the old man send Chen Yan an invitation to the Peninsula Conference?

He Mengxue was a little confused for a moment.

She looked at the invitation in her hand.

Although this invitation is very similar to Chen Yan's, it does not have a dragon pattern on it, but two carps, which symbolize auspiciousness and the idea of a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

The Peninsula Club is a banquet for the top wealthy people of Qindao Peninsula to exchange resources, so an affiliated banquet will also be held during the meeting. The purpose is to allow the leaders of the younger generation, usually the younger generations of these wealthy people, to gather together.

These younger generations are of a much higher standard than the ordinary second generations. They have all demonstrated their outstanding talents at a young age. They are likely to take over the family business, or have the hope of starting a new business and making a career.

This affiliated banquet does not have any name, but because there are two carps, the wealthy circles in the Qindong Peninsula generally call it the Longmen Club.

As the most outstanding child in the He family, He Mengxue participates in the Longmen Meeting every year after becoming a company executive.

Originally, she had no interest in this banquet, but when she received the invitation just now, she remembered that Chen Yan had never been there, so she thought about taking Chen Yan to attend the banquet and make more connections.

As a result... Chen Yan not only received an invitation, but also attended the main banquet?

To be honest, He Mengxue was really surprised.

Maybe because of the preconceived notions she had over the years, she always thought that those who participated in the Peninsula Club... were all old men in their fifties or sixties.

As a result, a young man like Chen Yan can actually participate?

Thinking of this, He Mengxue suddenly realized: Oh... that main banquet is for the richest people in Qindong Peninsula. With Chen Yan's current status and wealth, he seems to be qualified to attend.

even……

He Mengxue thought about it.

Chen Yan might not even be ranked the lowest among them...

It turns out that Chen Yan has developed to this extent without realizing it?

He Mengxue was a little absent-minded when thinking about this.

It was Chen Yan's voice, "Hello? Hello? Are you still there?" that woke her up.

He Mengxue came back to her senses and quickly said, "Oh. Yes."

She put the invitation behind her and said, "Oh. Since you have something to do, forget it. I'll go by myself."

After saying that, she hung up the phone on her own initiative for the first time.

After hanging up the phone, He Mengxue came to the restaurant, sat down, and began to think with her chin in her hand.

Maybe because she was with Chen Yan every day, she ignored the gap between herself and Chen Yan.

It turns out that without realizing it, the gap has become so big...?

He Mengxue decided to make a good plan and try to win over Chen Yan!

If that doesn't work... just knock him out and make him stronger?!

I don’t know… after fainting, can a man still function…

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yan listened to the busy tone coming from the receiver with a bewildered look on his face.

What the hell…

This woman is really getting weirder and weirder...

…

Note: This total asset refers to cash + fixed assets, and company valuation is not included.

…

The next day, Chen Yan followed his promise and went to the hotel with Zhao Ying to exercise...

After a hard morning of training, the two went to the presidential suite to take a shower.

Maybe because Chen Yan practiced very seriously in the past two days, Zhao Ying's favorability towards Chen Yan increased sharply. The most direct change was that she began to put her arm around Chen Yan's shoulder.

After exercising, she hooked her arm around Chen Yan's neck and walked upstairs with him, smiling.

At first, Chen Yan was not used to her like this, and even felt that she was sweaty and dirty after training.

But after being forced to get closer, Chen Yan discovered that there was no sweat smell on Zhao Ying's body, but instead a scent of grass.

It smells nice.

He felt that it was quite good for the two of them to get along like this.

After taking a shower and leaving the hotel, Chen Yan didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt a little weird, as if someone was watching him.

But he looked around and didn't find anything unusual, so in the end, he could only think that he was too sensitive. Then he went back to the company with Zhao Ying.

Continue to trade stocks and work during the day.

At noon, Chen Yan took the time to call He Mengxue and asked about the progress of the financing negotiations between the company and Toutiao Technology.

He Mengxue just said sullenly that she was still following up...and didn't say much more.

But Chen Yan seemed to have heard that He Mengxue went to Tiandu two days ago, and came back the next day in a huff.

As for the subsequent negotiations with Toutiao, she did not go out, but only sent one of her vice presidents to handle the matter.

I feel that the progress is not optimistic...

Chen Yan felt that perhaps he would have to take action himself in the end.

The day passed quickly. After get off work in the afternoon, Chen Yan took the initiative to invite He Mengxue to attend the banquet tonight.

As a result, He Mengxue, who always liked to show her presence around Chen Yan, rejected Chen Yan this time.

There was no choice, Chen Yan could only go back to his home first, change into formal clothes, and then call the company's driver to take him to the banquet venue.

The venue for this banquet was still the He family’s mansion.

…

At the same time, the He family's mansion has been completely renovated.

The entire area from the entrance to the banquet hall was rearranged.

Two private dinners will be held here tonight.

The main hall is the Peninsula Club.

The side hall is the Golden Dragon Society.

At this time, He Mengxue and Qin Ming came to the side hall of the banquet hall together.

Those who can come to this banquet are all young talents of the younger generation in Qindong Peninsula.

So compared to the noisy atmosphere at the previous gatherings of ordinary rich second-generations, this banquet seemed much quieter.

Many second-generation people with natural expressions and elegant manners were chatting quietly in groups of three or five, or in pairs.

From time to time, laughter could be heard from the crowd. It was obvious that they were talking about something interesting or reaching some cooperation.

This is the circle of the real upper elite...

…

Because this is no longer just the Qindao circle where He Mengxue plays, her title of big sister has disappeared.

So, when the two arrived at the banquet hall, the reactions of the second-generation elites were different.

Some who were older and more capable than He Mengxue just smiled and nodded.

Some of the more unfamiliar ones just glanced at the two of them.

Some familiar people took the initiative to greet them, "Xiaoxue is here." "Senior is here."

But when they saw Qin Ming, everyone was a little surprised.

Qin Ming was still very famous in the Qindong Peninsula , but... it was not a good reputation. So they did not expect Qin Ming to come to this elite banquet.

But when they thought about what Qin Ming had done during this period, everyone expressed their understanding.

In the past, Qin Ming was a second-generation rich man who only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, and he was also a side branch who was not worthy of being on the stage. But now, Qin Ming has become one of the bosses of a venture capital company with a valuation of billions. He also proved his ability in the Twin Hotel incident.

Considering his status as a member of the He family, it was normal for him to receive this invitation.

Soon, some people who knew the two came over to communicate with them.

He Mengxue had long been accustomed to such occasions, and she also knew that the people here were all elites with outstanding abilities who were favored by various families, so their manners were elegant, showing the background of a wealthy family.

Even though it was Qin Ming's first time here, he no longer needed to hide his incompetence and showed off his tactfulness to the fullest. He got to know many of the people present one by one, quietly building relationships with them and accumulating connections for the company's future development.

Soon, it was time for the banquet at 7 o'clock. Under the guidance of a second-generation person with more seniority, everyone took their seats.

After sitting down, when the food was served, everyone started talking about a variety of topics.

So, as we chatted, we ended up talking about Chen Yan.

An elite who sat at the same table with He Mengxue and Qin Ming asked curiously, "I've always heard of our Qindao's Mr. Chen's name, why didn't I see him here today?"

"According to his ability and worth, he should come."

At this point, the elite even smiled and joked, "Is Uncle He angry with him and didn't send him an invitation?"

There is a reason why he said that.

Previously, He Ruifeng disagreed with He Mengxue's cooperation with Chen Yan, but He Mengxue went against He Ruifeng's wishes and cooperated with Chen Yan. Although the news was not spread outside, people in this small circle had heard about it.

Therefore, it is indeed reasonable for He Ruifeng not to invite Chen Yan because of this incident.

But when they heard this person's question, He Mengxue and Qin Ming looked at each other and both showed strange expressions.

They wanted to explain, but before they could open their mouths, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the banquet hall, "Sorry, am I late?"

Qin Ming, He Mengxue, and the other elites present couldn't help but look towards the door of the banquet hall. As a result, the protagonist of the conversation just now: Chen Yan was standing outside the door.

Seeing Chen Yan, the second-generation elite immediately stood up enthusiastically, "Mr. Chen, you are here?"

"We were just talking about how you might come. Haha. Nice to meet you."

With him taking the lead, the others also stood up to greet Chen Yan, a peer who was obviously younger than them, but whose wealth and achievements were beyond their reach...

This society will always be so realistic.

Like the last time Chen Yan attended a large gathering of second-generation people, the second-generation people present at the time were not actually from wealthy families. But because Chen Yan was poorer, no one paid attention to him.

As a result, when his wealth skyrocketed, his record became more and more terrifying, and he proved his ability , even the elite second-generations who were one level higher than those second-generations took Chen Yan very seriously.

So, when they saw Chen Yan coming, they all came up and took the initiative to communicate with Chen Yan.

That level of enthusiasm was much more enthusiastic than what they had just shown towards He Mengxue and Qin Ming.

Of course, Chen Yan was not carried away by the enthusiasm. He knew it was all just a show, so he smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry. I went to the wrong place just now. Am I not late?"

After hearing what Chen Yan said, everyone said that it was okay. Then they pulled Chen Yan to sit down.

During the pushing and pulling process, Chen Yan also saw Qin Ming and He Mengxue behind the crowd.

He immediately smiled and joked, "So you two are here. I asked you to come together, but you left me alone. You made me go to the wrong place."

He Mengxue and Qin Ming looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were even weirder.

Because... among the people present, only the two of them knew... that Chen Yan not only walked into the wrong building just now, but now he has also walked into the wrong banquet hall!

Just as the two were thinking this and everyone was pushing and pulling, suddenly, a middle-aged man's serious voice sounded outside the door, "Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

As soon as this person's voice came out, the scene became solemn and everyone couldn't help but look towards the door.

Standing at the door was a thin middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses. He looked serious and dignified.

As soon as they saw him, everyone present couldn't help but greet him.

"Uncle Qin." "Uncle Qin." "Uncle."

However, the most enthusiastic elite just now changed his expression, lowered his head, and whispered, "Dad."

The middle-aged man just nodded slightly, then walked to the banquet hall and said to Chen Yan, "Mr. Chen, what are you doing here with these young people?"

"Why don't you come to the main hall?"

"We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chen Yan was full of question marks.

Main hall?

Side hall?

This banquet actually has a distinction between host and deputy?

Chen Yan was a little surprised.

But then, he seemed a little dazed.

So, He Mengxue, Qin Ming and I were not at the same party?

However, when the second generation members present heard the words of this middle-aged man, they were all stunned.

What? Chen Yan wants to go to the main hall?

Qin Ming and He Mengxue, who knew all this in advance, held their foreheads in their hands in the crowd.
