"Brother Ye, there's something I need to tell you."

Wan Xiangyang's voice came through the phone.

"Yesterday was my niece Su's birthday, and I was so busy that I forgot to tell her."

"There's a banquet tonight, and we've invited several of the major shareholders of our Longteng Group. Brother Ye, why don't you come along?"

Wan Xiangyang explained.

"Tonight?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment, and it seemed that he had nothing to do tonight.

"good."

Ye Chen agreed.

Time passed slowly, and in the evening, Ye Chen drove his Aston Martin to meet up with Wan Xiangyang.

After meeting up, the two headed together towards the banquet venue.

When Wan Xiangyang and Ye Chen arrived, the huge banquet hall was already full of guests.

The guests who were able to attend this banquet were all either rich or noble.

Upon seeing Wan Xiangyang, some guests who recognized him approached with smiles.

"Mr. Wan, it's been a long time."

"Old Wan, you've gotten even more prosperous."

Several guests greeted Wan Xiangyang.

When the group learned from Wan Xiangyang that Ye Chen was actually the third largest shareholder of Longteng Group, they were all taken aback.

When they first saw Ye Chen, they thought he was Wan Xiangyang's junior.

Unexpectedly, he was a hidden big shot.

Such a young big shot is definitely worth befriending.

So the group started trying to curry favor with Ye Chen.

Just as the group was chatting, several more guests walked in together, led by a tall, thin middle-aged man.

They were chatting happily when Wan Xiangyang's expression changed immediately upon seeing the tall, thin man.

"Why did he come too? What bad luck."

Wan Xiangyang said with some dissatisfaction.

Following Wan Xiangyang's gaze, several of his friends also frowned.

"Zhong Jianyuan?"

"He actually came too."

Several of Wan Xiangyang's friends also knew this middle-aged man.

Only Ye Chen didn't recognize the tall, thin man.

"His name is Zhong Jianyuan, and he is the chairman of Jianyuan Group. He and Mr. Wan are old rivals."

A customer next to him explained.

Zhong Jianyuan is also a billionaire in Jiangzhou. Due to some things that happened in the early years, Zhong Jianyuan and Wan Xiangyang have always had a bad relationship and can be considered mortal enemies.

Although the two are not much different in terms of net worth, Zhong Jianyuan has a wide network of connections.

Zhong Jianyuan has always had the upper hand.

Upon entering, Zhong Jianyuan also saw Wan Xiangyang.

Zhong Jianyuan glanced at Wan Xiangyang, Ye Chen, and the others with utter contempt.

He never took Wan Xiangyang seriously.

He looked down on even Wan Xiangyang, let alone Wan Xiangyang's friends.

"Ants".

Zhong Jianyuan looked at Ye Chen and the others, and muttered a cold laugh.

Then, Zhong Jianyuan arrogantly led his men past Wan Xiangyang.

"That bastard."

Seeing Zhong Jianyuan's arrogant demeanor, Wan Xiangyang couldn't help but curse.

He was in a good mood at first, but seeing this person made him instantly unhappy.

In their recent rivalry, Zhong Jianyuan had consistently come out on top, leaving Wan Xiangyang helpless.

Although I really wanted to beat up Zhong Jianyuan and teach him a lesson for his arrogant attitude.

However, due to Zhong Jianyuan's connections, Wan Xiangyang could only suffer in silence.

"Brother Ye, ignore this bastard."

"Let's go sit for a while."

Wan Xiangyang suggested.

The group found a place to sit down and rest.

Whether intentionally or not, Zhong Jianyuan and the others sat down next to Ye Chen and his group.

"Oh, Mr. Zhong, you bought another new top-of-the-line luxury watch?"

On Zhong Jianyuan's side, a CEO looked at the expensive watch on Zhong Jianyuan's wrist and asked in surprise.

Zhong Jianyuan is different from other wealthy people; he doesn't like luxury cars.

He was only interested in names.

Zhong Jianyuan's home contains a large collection of top-tier luxury watches.

Hearing this, the people around looked over curiously.

It seems to be true; it's the first time they've seen Zhong Jianyuan wearing this watch.

"You mean this Jack Bao celestial body? Yes, I just bought it."

The mention of watches emboldened Zhong Jianyuan even more.

"Mr. Zhong, how much is this watch?"

Most people present were not as knowledgeable about various famous watches as Zhong Jianyuan.

Rather than focusing on the brand and model, it's more accurate to say the price is reasonable.

"It's cheap, only thirteen million."

Zhong Jianyuan seemed completely unconcerned.

Thirteen million? !

Upon hearing this, the guests all showed expressions of surprise.

Ten million is indeed not a lot for them.

Spending 13 million to buy a villa might be normal.

But spending 13 million on a luxury watch is quite extravagant.

Even they wouldn't dare to be so extravagant.

"As expected of President Zhong."

"On the scene, only Mr. Zhong is qualified to wear such a watch worth tens of millions."

Several guests said in a very ingratiating manner.

Hearing these flattering words, Zhong Jianyuan also became somewhat smug.

Who wouldn't love that feeling of being the center of attention?

Since it was rather quiet sitting there, Zhong Jianyuan got up and went straight to Wan Xiangyang, Ye Chen, and the others.

The others followed.

"Isn't this General Manager Wan?"

"Long time no see, still not bankrupt?"

Zhong Jianyuan said provocatively right from the start.

"I thought it was some homeless person, but I didn't expect it to be President Zhong."

“Even if you, Zhong Jianyuan, go bankrupt, I will not go bankrupt.”

Wan Xiangyang retorted without hesitation.
