Zhou Na attributed this feeling to inferiority complex.
She believed that she had gotten the invitation to the banquet mainly because of Zhou Haide. If she had the qualifications to enter the banquet on her own merits, she would not have panicked or shown any fear.
so,
When facing Zhou Chen, she would feel looked down upon by him and care whether he thought she had sneaked in or gotten in by relying on someone else.
"One day, I will appear in such a place with dignity."
"I will definitely make you take me seriously."
Zhou Na knew she couldn't run away. Her purpose in coming here was to expand her network, and she couldn't miss such a good opportunity, nor could she act impulsively.
Embarrassment is only temporary.
As long as she succeeds in the future and can stand tall and proud in front of Zhou Chen, today's embarrassment and awkwardness will become the driving force on her path forward.
Zhou Chen had no idea what Zhou Na was thinking at that moment.
He was waiting for Li Xiaolong.
This dinner was not simply a gathering of game industry bosses; it marked Li Xiaolong's first public appearance in mainland China.
Li Xiaolong's identity tonight will likely surprise many people.
From his conversation with some fellow gamers, Zhou Chen realized that these people didn't know Li Xiaolong. Clearly, only those with a certain status could participate in Li Xiaolong's plans. Once Li Xiaolong announced the establishment of the Game Alliance Chamber of Commerce and released the game regulations, it would surely shock many people.
Speak of the devil and he appears.
Just then, Zhou Chen saw Li Xiaolong's incredibly young face; he had finally appeared.
This young master from Hong Kong Island exuded considerable prestige the moment he appeared.
Because he didn't come alone; there were two people standing on his left and right sides. These two people were not ordinary; they were from one of the top five game development companies in China.
The fact that a boss of this stature wasn't in the center position, and the presence of Li Xiaolong, sparked curiosity and discussion among many people.
Because so many people went over to say hello, Zhou Chen couldn't see clearly anymore.
On the other end,
Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun witnessed this scene, and their feelings were different. Zhou Ling felt a mixture of envy and jealousy, because she felt that Li Xiaolong was the only one who received so much attention because he was the most valued by Zhou Haide, and that he was benefiting from Zhou Haide's influence.
Zhao Kun then mocked Zhou Chen again, comparing Zhou Chen's conversation with Li Xiaolong to the scene he had just witnessed, and argued that those who wanted to befriend Zhou Chen were no match for Li Xiaolong, who was the real protagonist of the night.
"Zhou Na, who is this person? He seems really capable."
On the outskirts of the crowd
Zhou Na and Hao Ying were also watching the commotion not far away. Ever since Li Xiaolong appeared, it could be said that ninety percent of the people had taken the initiative to gather around him, wanting to get to know him.
Actually, Zhou Na didn't know Li Xiaolong, but she knew that Li Xiaolong must have a very high status to be standing in the middle.
Zhou Na subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction where Zhou Chen had just been.
She suddenly realized that Li Xiaolong's brilliance at this moment seemed to surpass Zhou Chen's. Whether in terms of age or status, Li Xiaolong seemed to be superior.
What is Zhou Chen thinking at this moment?
Zhou Na was particularly curious.
However,
She assumed Zhou Chen, like her, was also looking up with envy or jealousy, but she was disappointed.
Because Zhou Chen was completely unaware of Li Xiaolong's movements, he was chatting and laughing with Wang Rui and the other two, and was not affected at all.
Does he really not care at all?
"impossible."
Zhou Na's expression changed slightly. She didn't believe that Zhou Chen could really be so indifferent. It must be that Zhou Chen hadn't noticed or paid attention to this scene, or rather, Zhou Chen didn't know how powerful that person was. Yes, that must be it.
If Zhou Chen had known, things would never have turned out this way.

"Brother Chen, you're amazing! You even know the situation in Hong Kong so well."
"Before, I only knew that Li Jiacheng, the richest man in China, was very powerful. It turns out that the Li family is not even in the top four families. Brother Chen really taught me a lesson today."
Wang Rui and Zhang Hao both showed deep admiration.
Just now, the group was talking about wealthy people in Hong Kong, and Zhou Chen gave them a brief introduction to the major families in Hong Kong, which shattered his three roommates' preconceived notions.
For example, the three of them believed that Li Jiacheng, the richest man in Hong Kong, was definitely on the list and ranked first among the four major families in Hong Kong. However, when they heard Zhou Chen say that Li Jiacheng was not even on the list, they were all stunned.
But Zhou Chen knew he wasn't wrong. Li Jiacheng was just a rising star. He had read the materials Tang Wu brought back, which covered the prominent figures in Hong Kong over the past century. This gave Zhou Chen a revolutionary perspective and a profound understanding of Hong Kong.
Today, the four major families on the surface are the two Lis, one Guo, and one Zheng. In reality, they are actually several families, including the Huo, He, Xu, Tang, and Rong families, and cannot be summarized by just four families.
These families are simply unusually low-key, keeping a low profile, but many people know that they are the real big shots.
"The young man you see is a member of the Li family."
Seeing that his three roommates had almost fully grasped the concepts, Zhou Chen revealed Li Xiaolong's identity.
What!
Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei were all jolted awake, their faces showing shock.
"Hehe, you're overthinking it. The Li family I'm talking about isn't the Li family of the 'Double Li' family. Their family is several levels below the level of the 'Double Li' family."
Zhou Chen added another explanation.
Upon hearing this, Wang Rui smiled wryly and said, "Brother Chen, don't exhale so much. After you finished speaking, I was about to squeeze over and meet this young master of the Li family. But you're telling me that he's not either of those two Li family members. I thought he was really something."
"A scion of a small family in Hong Kong, making such a big show of things. Anyone who didn't know better would think his family was incredibly powerful." Zhang Hao chuckled, somewhat understanding why Zhou Chen was so calm. What was so great about a scion of a small family?
Li Xiaolong's standing in his three roommates' eyes plummeted, and they immediately stopped caring about him. After all, they now knew that even though he was from the Li family, he wasn't a top family in Hong Kong.
Not to mention someone like Li Xiaolong, a member of a family who doesn't even rank highly.
"Wait a minute, Brother Chen, how do you know him so well?"
Wang Rui suddenly asked a question that surprised everyone.
Zhang Hao and Li Wei belatedly realized that Zhou Chen knew so much.
Zhou Chen smiled faintly, "Because he and I are rivals, and when dealing with a rival, the more you know, the better."
opponent?
Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei exchanged a glance.
To make the three understand the specific reasons, he gave a brief explanation and rejected Li Xiaolong's acquisition and investment offers.
"If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before he finds a way to embarrass me."
Zhou Chen spoke again.
