Zhao Wenshan wasn't sure if what he was seeing was real, so he rubbed his eyes hard and looked again.

However, in the distance, the same scene still unfolded.

Mr. Bruce was really having a friendly chat with that kid!

Moreover, judging from his expression, Mr. Bruce actually seemed to be trying to curry favor with the kid.

What the heck?

Who is Mr. Bruce? He is a senior executive of Hilton Hotels, one of the world's top ten hotel groups.

This huge party was hosted by Mr. Bruce.

Not to mention him, even his father would be extremely polite to Mr. Bruce.

After all, the Hilton Hotels Corporation behind Bruce is a real behemoth.

But now, this very important person is actually taking the initiative to chat with that kid?

Has Mr. Bruce gone mad?

Zhao Wenshan racked his brains but couldn't understand why this was happening.

The underling next to him, noticing Zhao Wenshan's shocked gaze, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They were just about to reach that kid and were about to chase him away.

As a result, Mr. Bruce suddenly appeared and took the initiative to greet the kid.

This completely baffled Zhao Wenshan's underlings.

Let alone them, even if it were my elder brother Zhao Wenshan, he wouldn't dare to drive Mr. Bruce away.

Is it wrong to kick out the host at a banquet?

That's absolutely outrageous.

"Young Master Zhao, what should we do?"

The younger brother was a bit at a loss, so he asked Zhao Wenshan for advice.

"You ask me what to do? How would I know?"

Zhao Wenshan replied impatiently.

"Let me think about it?"

Zhao Wenshan's mind raced, trying to figure out how to keep his plan going.

He must isolate that kid!

However, just as Zhao Wenshan was pondering, another important guest arrived.

Ning Zhengqing has arrived.

Ning Zhengqing is the father of Ning Xiuyan, whom Ye Chen knows, and the eldest son of the old master of the Ning family.

"President Ning is here."

"President Ning, it's been a long time."

"Hello, Mr. Ning."

Upon seeing Ning Zhengqing, the guests at the scene took the initiative to greet him.

When faced with these CEOs and tycoons, Ning Zhengqing merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment, appearing rather indifferent.

When Ning Zhengqing was socializing, he suddenly noticed Ye Chen and Bruce in the distance, and Ning Zhengqing was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Ye actually came too."

Ning Zhengqing muttered something under his breath.

Then, amidst the astonished gazes of countless guests, Ning Zhengqing abandoned everyone and headed straight for Ye Chen and Bruce.

Following the direction Ning Zhengqing walked, the guests also noticed Ye Chen and Bruce.

However, in their subconscious minds, Ning Zhengqing would definitely take the initiative to greet Bruce.

Of all the people present, Bruce seemed to be the only one for whom Ning Zhengqing would take such a proactive approach.

Ning Zhengqing's arrival attracted the attention of countless people, and Zhao Wenshan naturally saw it as well.

Like the other guests, Zhao Zhengwen also believed that Ning Zhengqing was there for Bruce.

However, the next second, a scene that left these guests dumbfounded occurred.

When they were still two or three meters away from Bruce, Ning Zhengqing suddenly spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Mr. Ye, we meet again."

Ning Zhengqing greeted Ye Chen.

What's going on?

Ning Zhengqing spoke, but instead of greeting Bruce first, he addressed the young man!

At this moment, all the guests were looking at Ye Chen, and their curiosity about him reached its peak.

Who is he?!

How could the dignified patriarch of the Ning family act like this?

Not only Ning Zhengqing, but even Mr. Bruce was chatting with that young man.

This young man is no ordinary person; he can command such respect from two important figures.

"Hello Mr. Ye, my name is Lin..."

"Mr. Ye, I am Zhang, the chairman of Lingyuan Group..."

"Hello Mr. Ye, I am..."

Instantly, many guests went over to greet Ye Chen.

Upon seeing this, almost all the guests present sprang into action, rushing towards Ye Chen.

Even the wealthy men who had just been chatting with Zhao Wenshan immediately abandoned him and rushed towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's place was originally an inconspicuous corner of the banquet.

But now, it has become the centerpiece of the entire banquet hall!

At the scene, only Zhao Wenshan and a few of his underlings stood there blankly, their eyes vacant.

Even Ning Zhengqing is like this?

Zhao Wenshan's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.

Strictly speaking, Ning Zhengqing's status is even more impressive than Zhao Wenshan's father's.

Although both the Ning and Zhao families are wealthy and powerful, Ning Zhengqing is the recognized second-generation heir of the Ning family.

The Zhao family has not yet chosen an heir, and Zhao Wenshan's father is just one of the contenders.

Now, even Ning Zhengqing is like this?

Zhao Wenshan is in a really bad state.

Why is this happening?

At this moment, in the entire banquet hall, Zhao Wenshan and his cronies became the ones who were abandoned.

As the banquet progressed, Ye Chen's area remained the very center of the banquet hall, bustling with activity and laughter.

In contrast, Zhao Wenshan's place was deserted.

Zhao Wenshan and his henchmen seemed to be ignored; no one paid them any attention, and they stood there all alone.
