Yan Zimeng: ...
I really want to curse.
Seeing Yan Zimeng standing there in a daze, Nangong Jue went straight to the door and opened it: "Fang Ming."
Fang Ming shuddered. Judging from his tone, he knew he was doomed. Was he going to lose his bonus for the year? But he still hurriedly walked over: "Sir."
"What are people who just let people in without appointments doing?"
“Miss Yan used to be able to come up whenever she wanted, so…”
"You said it yourself, that was before." Nangong Jue's face was so cold it was almost icy. "Tell the front desk that from now on, if anyone comes up without an appointment or permission, they can pack their bags and get out."
"Yes." Fang Ming nodded.
A flash of hatred crossed Yan Zimeng's eyes as she looked at Nangong Jue, but she said nothing and turned away. Yes, she hated them. Why did these people treat her like this? Therefore, all of them deserved to die!
Nangong Jue naturally noticed the change in Yan Zimeng's eyes, but he didn't care. He had rejected her, so wasn't it normal for her to feel resentment? But he still sighed inwardly. Wouldn't it have been better to be sensible like before? Why did she have to spell it out? Really... they wouldn't even be able to be friends anymore.
The Zhao family's banquet was held in the multi-functional hall of the Earl Hotel, which is the best hotel in the entire Xiling City, exceeding seven-star standards.
Zhao Xincheng is the top political figure in Xiling City, and many people want to get to know him and curry favor with him. Although the Zhao family did not send out many invitations, they were still able to attract many influential people, so the number of people who came was more than three times the number on the list.
Le Yao and the others came with Qian Meiqi, so they kept a low profile, wearing understated formal wear that was neither impolite nor too eye-catching.
Of course, their good looks make them stand out in a crowd, and there's nothing that can be done about it.
Hongxia's dress was prepared by Qian Meiqi; it was a strapless, knee-length, lake-blue gown that was very elegant.
"This is the first time I've ever worn such an expensive dress and high heels," Hongxia muttered to herself, touching her hair as she raised her hand. "The money for this haircut is enough for a whole family in my village to earn for half a year."
"You have to believe that you are very capable. In the future, you will definitely be able to lead your village to prosperity." Le Yao really admired Hong Xia. Although she was poor, she had a very positive outlook on life and was very warm-hearted. Even when facing a group of wealthy young men, she was neither humble nor arrogant. Such a person's poverty was only temporary, and she would definitely stand at a high position in the future.
"Yes, I believe it too." Hong Xia turned to look at Le Yao, smiling confidently.
At this moment, everyone had arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Zheng Bai was the one greeting people at the door. When he saw Qian Meiqi and the others, he was the first to greet them with a smile: "Miss Biao."
"Brother Zheng, these are all my classmates," Qian Meiqi introduced them.
"Hurry up and go in." Zheng Bai said with a smile. "Madam just asked when you were coming." His gaze lingered on Qiao Qiao and Le Yao for a couple more seconds.
Qian Meiqi then gestured for everyone to go inside.
"This is my first time attending a banquet like this. You can't leave me alone later, or I'll embarrass myself." Hongxia glanced at everyone. "There are many rules I don't know."
"Don't worry, we're just here to eat and drink, we won't leave you alone." Wang Xia took her arm. "Let's be conjoined twins in a bit."
