"How embarrassing!"
Gao Luwen looked at Ye Feng with disdain, his eyes filled with contempt.
Night Wind frowned and said, "Are you asking for trouble?"
Gao Luwen's expression changed slightly.
He then took a step back, distancing himself from the night wind.
After all, he had witnessed Ye Feng's strength firsthand, and he knew he was no match for Ye Feng.
“This is Mayor Huang’s daughter’s birthday banquet. You’d better not make a move here,” Gao Luwen said.
Ye Feng snorted coldly, ignored Gao Luwen, and continued eating his food.
Gao Luwen continued, "So what if you can fight? In this world, connections matter. Someone like you will be looked down upon wherever you go!"
"My affairs are none of your business," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.
Just then, a melody like flowing water began to play.
Then the lights in the lobby dimmed and focused on the second floor.
The next moment, a middle-aged man appeared at the top of the stairs on the second floor, arm in arm with a young girl.
That person was Huang Haotian, the mayor of Zhongzhou City.
The girl beside him was, of course, his daughter, Huang Linglong!
Huang Haotian, with Huang Linglong in tow, came downstairs with a smile on his face.
As soon as I arrived downstairs, the guests in the lobby rushed forward to greet me warmly.
Even Gao Luwen was the same.
"Mayor, your daughter is getting more and more beautiful."
"Yes, she's even prettier than those female celebrities on TV."
"If I were ten or twenty years younger, I would definitely fall head over heels for your daughter."
"Miss Huang, happy birthday."
So many people were greeting Huang Haotian and Huang Linglong, making the scene very lively.
Huang Haotian responded to them with a smile, and Huang Linglong nodded to the guests frequently.
But then, Huang Haotian pulled Huang Linglong through the crowd and strode up to Ye Feng.
"Linglong, this is Mr. Ye Fengye, whom I told you about. Say hello to him quickly," Huang Haotian urged.
Huang Linglong smiled sweetly, lifted her skirt, and gracefully bowed to Ye Feng: "Hello, Mr. Ye."
Ye Feng put down the plate in his hand and nodded slightly.
Huang Haotian then said to Ye Feng, "Mr. Ye, this is my daughter, Huang Linglong."
“Yes, I see,” Ye Feng said.
Huang Haotian said with a smile, "Mr. Ye, you and my daughter are not that far apart in age. You two can have a good chat and maybe become friends."
"Perhaps," Ye Feng said noncommittally.
The guests present were all stunned by what they saw.
When Ye Feng was feasting, most of them looked down on him and even made sarcastic remarks.
But now, the host of this banquet, Huang Haotian, the most powerful person in the entire Zhongzhou City, is being so polite to Ye Feng, even extremely respectful.
This was completely unexpected!
The guests were now filled with curiosity about Ye Feng, and they all secretly began to speculate about his identity.
"Just who is that young man?"
"Yes, why is Mayor Huang so polite to him?"
"Could he be some important figure?"
"Is there such a person in Zhongzhou City? I've never heard of him before."
The guests in the hall were all buzzing with excitement, practically dying of curiosity.
More than an hour passed before we knew it.
Gao Luwen suddenly approached Huang Linglong with a very exquisite gift box in his hand: "Miss Huang, this is a birthday gift I prepared especially for you. Please accept it."
"Thank you, Young Master Gao."
Huang Linglong said with a smile and took the box from Gao Luwen's hand.
Gao Luwen added, "Miss Huang, please open it here. I'm sure you'll like my gift."
Since Gao Luwen had said so, Huang Linglong didn't stand on ceremony and immediately opened the box.
After the box was opened, a delicate gemstone necklace was revealed to her.
The platinum necklace features seven gemstones of different colors that reflect dazzling light under the illumination, sparkling brilliantly.
A female guest in the hall suddenly exclaimed, "Could this be the masterpiece of the famous Chinese jewelry designer, Wankel Chen—the Seven Star Necklace?"
"Really? I heard there are only one hundred Seven Star Necklaces in the world!"
"I never expected Young Master Gao to have acquired a Seven Star Necklace. This gift is truly invaluable! This necklace must be worth at least tens of millions!"
The surrounding chatter and exclamations made Gao Luwen very proud.
Gao Luwen stood tall and proud, his face glowing with arrogance.
Huang Linglong said in surprise, "I didn't expect that you, Young Master Gao, would prepare a Seven Star Necklace for me. This gift is really too precious."
"No gift, however precious, can compare to Miss Huang's beauty," Gao Luwen said with a smile.
Huang Haotian then said, "Young Master Gao, you're too kind."
"Of course, of course," Gao Luwen said, feigning modesty.
Another guest came over and said, "Mayor Huang, Miss Huang, I have also prepared a birthday gift."
"Me too! Me too!"
"I also prepared a birthday present!"
The guests began giving gifts, and the scene immediately became very lively.
But Ye Feng just stood aside and watched quietly.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
All the other guests had already given their gifts; Ye Feng was probably the only one in the entire hall who hadn't given a birthday present.
"Thank you all for your kindness. I'm very happy to receive so many gifts," Huang Lingling said with a smile.
The gift-giving segment should end here.
However, at that moment, Gao Luwen suddenly said loudly, "Miss Huang, there is still someone here who hasn't given a gift yet!"
As he spoke, Gao Luwen looked over at Ye Feng.
The other guests also looked at Ye Feng.
Huang Haotian immediately became anxious and hurriedly said, "I notified Mr. Ye at the last minute. It's normal that he rushed to attend the birthday party without preparing a birthday gift. There's nothing strange about it."
Huang Haotian is trying to exonerate Ye Feng.
But Gao Luwen had finally found a legitimate opportunity to strike at Ye Feng, so how could he let it go so easily?
Gao Luwen then said, "We all gave gifts, but he's the only one who didn't. How can that be? It's not fair to us!"
"If all else fails, let him apologize to Miss Huang and to all of us here!"
Upon hearing Gao Luwen's words, the guests in the hall all wore expressions of amusement.
Huang Haotian was extremely embarrassed.
But at that moment, Ye Feng suddenly smiled slightly: "Who said I didn't prepare a birthday present?"
Gao Luwen's expression changed: "Did you prepare this?"
