Zhou Ling didn't see any affection for other women in Zhao Kun's eyes, and her suspicions gradually dissipated.
Perhaps she really misunderstood Zhao Kun.
However,
Some women don't realize that their romantic rivals sometimes aren't necessarily from the same sex, but could also be from the opposite sex.
The banquet hall was very large.
The two walked around but couldn't find Zhou Chen, which puzzled them. Wasn't Zhou Chen supposed to have arrived already?
"Something might have changed. Since we can't find him, let's leave him for now and try to build connections first."
Zhao Kun suggested.
Zhou Ling felt that this was the only way. Even if they wanted to disgust Zhou Chen, the problem was that Zhou Chen wasn't there. You can't cook without rice.
at the same time,
Two figures stepped out of a taxi.
Gazing at the skyscrapers before them, one of the figures couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhou Na, you're amazing! To actually get an invitation to a banquet hosted by such successful people is incredible! This is the most prestigious hotel in Yanjing. A meal here would cost at least several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan. To hold a banquet here... wow, unimaginable..."
The girl looked on with emotion.
The other girl standing next to him appeared relatively calm on the surface, but her heart was also filled with huge waves.
So this is the luxurious life of the rich, the life of successful people.
That person, if they wanted to, should be able to get in too.
Thinking of Zhou Chen, Zhou Na felt very conflicted.
The reason she was here tonight was because Zhou Haide gave her an invitation, saying that if she wanted to expand her network and broaden her circle, she could come here and give it a try.
After much deliberation and hesitation, Zhou Na finally decided to follow Zhou Haide's advice and attend the banquet.
She wanted to seize this opportunity.
Even if she didn't meet any new people, broadening her horizons was still a form of growth for her. The gap between her and Zhou Chen was too large, and she didn't want to continue to fall behind Zhou Chen. So, this was a chance to narrow that gap.
So, she came.
Not only that, she also brought someone with her, a girl from the next class named Hao Ying.
At Yanli University, Hao Ying did not criticize her like others did. On the contrary, when she heard others talking about her, Hao Ying spoke up for her and defended her, treating her better than her former roommates, which touched her heart. It was by chance that she witnessed this scene, and the two became friends.
Later, Zhou Na learned that Hao Ying's family situation was similar to hers; she had also been adopted. The two hit it off more and more as they chatted.
Zhou Na knew the saying that a hero needs three helpers. Zhou Chen's success was inseparable from the support of Xu Dalong, Li Kaile and others, so she had the idea of bringing Hao Ying along.
Zhou Chen can win people over and use them for his own purposes, and so can Zhou Na.
Attending this banquet tonight is her chance to win over Hao Ying, to show Hao Ying that following her is a promising future, even if it means facing some criticism from classmates, because she can bring a better future.
now,
After listening to Hao Ying's words, Zhou Na calmed down and a faint sense of pride rose from the bottom of her heart.
After all, the entire Yanli University,
It seems that only she and Hao Ying could come here to attend the banquet.
"let's go."
"Zhou Na, don't you need to wait for anyone? Let's just go in, okay?"
"It's just the two of us today. This is a test for me. I need to use my own abilities to get to know more people. Once you're inside, don't say anything carelessly, lest you offend someone important."
After providing a suitable explanation, Zhou Na added a reminder.
Hao Ying didn't seem to have many thoughts on this, and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will never wander around or say anything that would embarrass you. This is a gathering of successful people, and I know how to behave."
Zhou Na nodded.
There was one thing about Hao Ying that she was very satisfied with: she didn't pry into things and had a good sense of propriety. She believed that after tonight's banquet, a big nail would be driven into Hao Ying's heart, and if she wanted to develop in the future, she would have to follow her.
If she can take him to banquets of this caliber now, she can take him to even more prestigious ones in the future.
This is the effect Zhou Na wanted.
Bringing Hao Ying is more cost-effective than bringing Zhou Chuan. Zhou Chuan is too stupid, especially prone to provoking Zhou Chen, and is difficult to control. But Hao Ying is obedient. If we can win Hao Ying over, she will be able to do things more easily in the future.
Looking at the magnificent hotel in front of him,
A face flashed into Zhou Na's mind—it was Zhou Haide.
Her previous failure in the fruit milk tea business caused her to lose points with Zhou Haide. She once thought that Zhou Haide was very disappointed in her and had decided to give up on her.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Haide called her and offered her an opportunity to expand her network, but she would have to work hard for it herself, and Zhou Haide himself would not appear.
Zhou Na knew that Zhou Haide had not completely given up on her, so he gave her a test. As for whether she could pass the test, it should be how many successful people she could meet.
Her goal was one to three; as for more, Zhou Na dared not hope for more, because she knew her own conditions well, and apart from her status as a student at Yanli University, she had nothing worth mentioning.
Inside the banquet hall,
At this moment, Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun were both completely speechless.
Because both of them had just run into a wall and encountered quite a bit of bad luck.
Just five minutes ago, they tried to get to know the people present, after all, those who could enter this place were either rich or noble, and there were no ordinary people.
The two had high hopes and thought they had made a breakthrough, so they took the initiative to chat with people. However, after the other party asked about their company and what kind of business they did, and heard that they did not have a company and no one else was with them, they immediately lost interest and turned around and left.
This infuriated both of them.
That's so snobbish!
That's incredibly disrespectful!
"Looking down on people like dogs! What kind of trash are they? So what if they have a little money? A bunch of scoundrels!"
"When I become a big boss someday, even if you lick my shoes, I won't pay any attention to you bastards. I'll remember you."
Zhou Ling vented her frustration by cursing and swearing.
Being looked down upon in public is incredibly humiliating, even if no one knows them; it still hurts their self-esteem.
“If they knew our relationship with Zhou Chen, and that you and that dog Zhou Chen hadn’t fallen out, they probably wouldn’t dare to look down on us like this.”
Zhao Kun offered one possibility, but more than that, his words revealed resentment and dissatisfaction.
Zhou Ling did not deny this, because she also knew that Zhou Chen was very successful now, and even the people here had to take him seriously.
It's just a pity...
Zhou Ling shook her head, not wanting to regret it.
“Brother Kun, we can’t boost others’ morale and diminish our own. It’s not our fault that they look down on us; they’re just blind. Brother Kun, you’ll definitely make something of yourself in the future and be more successful than that dog Zhou Chen.”
Zhou Ling comforted her.
He cursed inwardly, "You dog Zhou Chen, it's all your fault! If you hadn't been so heartless and insisted on splitting the family, how dare these people ignore me like this?"
It's all your fault.
