Ye Tianyu wanted to buy Zhong Shuqin a more presentable outfit, but after searching around, he couldn't find one. He then realized that he had forgotten to buy her a new outfit when he went out last night.
Zhong Shuqin, however, didn't care at all.
"Tianyu, there's no need to be so particular. I'm just an old woman from the countryside, I can wear anything."
Ye Tianyu looked bitter. He wanted to be particular, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't find any new clothes, so this was the only option.
He originally had a suit, but since Zhong Shuqin didn't have any new clothes, he stopped wearing it and started wearing his usual casual clothes.
The mother and son went out, intending to head to the Fang Group, when Fang Xueqing called.
"Ye Tianyu, once you're ready, take your mother directly to Brilliant Manor. There's no need to come to the company!"
"Okay, I've brought my mom out. We'll head over now."
Ye Tianyu hung up the phone. It was good that he didn't have to go to the company; there was no need to go back and forth.
He immediately hailed a taxi and took Zhong Shuqin to Huihuang Villa.
Huihuang Mountain Villa, as a tourist hotel under the Fang Group, is naturally located near the scenic area.
Although the location is remote, the environment is excellent.
As the most famous and proud female CEO in Jiangnan, Fang Xueqing, the pride of heaven, hosted an awards ceremony for outstanding employees, many business tycoons who cooperate with the Fang Group came to show their support.
Jin Manfei was even more high-profile. Fang Xueqing gave her a 300 million yuan order for building materials and electronic parts. In order to show her relationship with Fang Xueqing, she also invited many business celebrities.
Of course, most people only accepted the invitation out of respect for Fang Xueqing.
Even with Jin Manfei's connections, she is far from qualified to invite so many business tycoons.
When Ye Tianyu and Zhong Shuqin arrived at Brilliant Villa, they were greeted by a stunning scene.
Groups of several people or teams of ten, industry leaders from various sectors entered the venue one after another.
The surrounding area is filled with various luxury cars worth over a million yuan.
Wow, this is way too grand!
Ye Tianyu frowned. What was Fang Xueqing up to?
It's just an awards ceremony for outstanding employees, does it really need to be such a big deal?
Zhong Shuqin, a rural woman from the countryside, had never seen such a large-scale scene before.
She was speechless.
The rich people in the city are so extravagant!
The guests were all wealthy and influential people. How much money must have been spent on such a grand affair!
Looking at their own and Ye Tianyu's clothes, they seemed out of place and quite shabby in front of these people.
She felt embarrassed and timid, and didn't really want to go in.
Ye Tianyu knew she was nervous. After all, this was the first time he had ever been to such a scene, let alone Zhong Shuqin who had lived in the countryside for a long time.
He held Zhong Shuqin's hand to encourage her.
"Mom, it's okay. My boss asked us to come. There's no need to feel embarrassed about your status."
As Ye Tianyu led Zhong Shuqin forward, he was filled with doubt.
Fang Xueqing said that she was the main character at today's employee awards ceremony.
But looking at this pomp and circumstance, it has absolutely nothing to do with me.
I used to be a low-level street vendor.
He's just Fang Xueqing's bodyguard now. To put it bluntly, he's just a nobody. How could he have such a big face to become the protagonist of the awards ceremony?
While he was still wondering, he had already led Zhong Shuqin into the huge lobby of the mountain resort hotel.
"Hey! What do you want?"
Two security guards ran over from the right.
Ye Tianyu glanced around and saw that the security guards didn't go to ask the other guests who came in, but only came over to ask him. This selective treatment made him feel a little annoyed.
He said casually, "I'm here for the awards ceremony!"
"Um?"
The two security guards were stunned for a moment, then looked Ye Tianyu and Zhong Shuqin up and down.
The two men were dressed simply, looking exactly like country folk.
The two security guards looked at them with disdain.
One of them scoffed, "Looking like you, who would believe you'd attend an awards ceremony?"
"Get out of here! This isn't a place just anyone can come in!"
He has a snobbish, condescending attitude.
Ye Tianyu said coldly, "I was sent by President Fang. Do you dare to kick me out?"
"What?"
"Did you send someone from General Manager Fang?"
"Ha ha!"
The two security guards burst into laughter: "I was invited by the former chairman!"
The laughter abruptly stopped, and the two men shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are? Would President Fang invite someone like you to an awards ceremony?"
"I see you're just here to freeload. Get out of here now, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Two security guards, how could they be so arrogant?
Ye Tianyu was about to warn them that if they kicked him out, they would have to bear the consequences.
"Hey, what happened?"
At that moment, a woman in her forties, dressed in business attire, walked over.
Upon seeing them, the two security guards immediately became like two lapdogs, bowing and scraping.
"Manager Jin, this poor guy and this poor old woman tried to freeload, but we stopped them!"
"What?"
"Trying to freeload here?"
Manager Jin looked at Ye Tianyu.
Their eyes met.
Manager Jin's expression changed: "Ye Tianyu..."
Ye Tianyu blurted out, "Auntie!"
This Manager Jin is none other than Jin Manyu, the younger sister of her biological mother, who is also her aunt.
Although Jin Manfei doesn't acknowledge Ye Tianyu as her son, he still calls Jin Manyu "Auntie".
He found it a bit strange that his aunt, whom he rarely saw, was actually the lobby manager of Brilliant Villa.
Something unexpected happened.
Jin Manyu sneered, "Don't call me that so affectionately, who's your aunt?"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Tianyu's eyes. This aunt no longer recognized him as her nephew.
It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together; they're all the same.
Whether he acknowledges them or not is irrelevant; he doesn't like relatives like that anyway.
Ye Tianyu didn't argue with her and said, "Fine, if you say she's not my aunt, then she's not!"
"But why won't the security guards let me in when I'm here for the awards ceremony?"
"You're here for the awards ceremony?"
Jin Manyu immediately glared angrily: "You hit Zihao yesterday, humiliated my sister, and made her lose face. How dare you come to Zihao's award ceremony today?"
"We didn't invite you. You're really shameless to show up uninvited."
"Are you going to get out of here yourself, or do you want me to have security kick you out?"
"What?"
"You mean today's awards ceremony is for Chu Zihao?"
Ye Tianyu was instantly dumbfounded; this was something he never dreamed of.
Zhong Shuqin was also very surprised and looked embarrassed.
The award ceremony that Ye Tianyu brought her to was actually attended by Chu Zihao.
Is it still possible to get in?
She grabbed Ye Tianyu's arm, trying to persuade him not to go in.
Jin Manyu sneered: "You've been exposed, haven't you? You don't even know who this awards ceremony is for, what are you doing here?"
"Isn't it just that they're so poor they can't afford food and want to freeload?"
"Get lost! With your poor appearance, don't ruin the atmosphere of the awards ceremony!"
When Ye Tianyu heard that the awards ceremony was for Chu Zihao, he didn't want to go in.
But seeing Jin Manyu's arrogance, she repeatedly told him to get lost.
When his stubborn streak flared up, he'd say, "If you won't let me in, then I'll just have to go in anyway, and see what the Chu family can do to me."
So he said coldly, "It was Mr. Fang who sent me. You have no right to kick me out!"
