Chapter 197 Mr. Lin, my phone is dead, can I borrow yours to check the time?
International Convention and Exhibition Hotel, Peony Hall.
Li Cheng, beaming with pride, moved among the guests.
His words couldn't hide his triumphant joy.
He originally only planned to host a small banquet with one table.
The invitations were mostly extended to longtime friends and CEOs of promising startups, primarily for networking and strengthening relationships.
Who would have thought that Assistant Qiu from Jingcheng Group would take the initiative to contact him?
This indicates that President Gu is "very interested" in this dinner.
He actually managed to stumble upon such a windfall.
With President Gu coming, he also gains face.
What was once an unpopular dinner party has become extremely popular.
Those who wanted to get involved with Jingcheng Group came knocking on their door, hoping to get a seat.
One table wasn't enough, so Li Cheng temporarily added a smaller, connected private room called "Lotus Hall".
The banquet was expanded to two tables.
At 7 p.m. sharp, both private rooms were already full.
As the host, Li Cheng naturally arranged for the most distinguished guests to be in the main hall, the "Peony Hall".
Gu Jingcheng sat in the main seat.
Also seated with him was Bai Jifeng, accompanied by his daughter, Bai Wanwan.
The rest are waiting for several veteran entrepreneurs with deep roots in Jiangcheng.
They were older, had a calm demeanor, and their conversations were full of charisma.
Li Cheng brought his own tonight on purpose.
Li Jun, the youngest son who idles away his time at the hospital,
Let him stay by your side and become familiar with you.
Gu Jingcheng absentmindedly responded to the toasts offered by those around him, his gaze sweeping over the entire private room.
He frowned and turned to look at Li Cheng beside him.
"Mr. Li, I remember Mr. Lin from Xinwei Technology is also a guest tonight?"
Why haven't I seen anyone?
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Li Cheng's face as he offered an apologetic smile and explained.
"Mr. Gu, because we added seats at the last minute, we also need someone to look after the Lotus Hall."
Ms. Lin is young, capable, and sociable, so I asked her to help coordinate things over there…”
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jingcheng had already put down his chopsticks.
"Really? That's perfect. I should go next door and toast all you talented young people."
Mr. Li, you don't mind if I overstep my bounds, do you?
His tone was calm, yet it carried a powerful aura.
How could Li Cheng dare to utter a single word of "no"?
"Mr. Gu, you're too kind. Please, please go ahead."
Gu Jingcheng raised an eyebrow and strode towards the Lotus Hall.
Bai Wanwan straightened her skirt, stood up impatiently, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice.
"Brother Jingcheng, shall I go with you?"
Gu Jingcheng glanced at her, his eyes as cold as ice.
Bai Wanwan turned pale with fright and hurriedly sat back down in her seat.
Gu Jingcheng has really changed. Has he forgotten his feelings for his sister?
Bai Wanwan's heart was pounding as she tried to convince herself otherwise.
Impossible. His sister is his ideal woman; how could he possibly forget her?
If only she had the same cheeks as her sister, plus that glass of wine her father had tonight.
She will definitely succeed.
Thinking of this, she secretly got up and moved towards the Lotus Hall.
The atmosphere inside the "Lotus Hall" was relatively relaxed.
Most of those assigned here are CEOs of startups.
They were also clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, but their gazes would occasionally drift towards the door leading to the Peony Hall.
They have different thoughts.
Lin Wei sat by the window, and the eyes of the several young entrepreneurs opposite her were more or less fixed on her.
Who doesn't know Lin Wei?
She was once a cold and aloof female CEO who single-handedly saved the nearly dead Lin Group.
Seeing the Lin family business thriving, she handed over the huge company to her younger brother to manage.
He went to Blue City without saying a word and started from scratch, founding Xinwei Technology Company.
Moreover, she is young, beautiful, and intelligent.
Marrying a woman like that would save you more than twenty years of hard work...
Several men who considered themselves to be in good standing were already eager to try their luck.
Sitting next to Lin Wei was a company CEO in his thirties.
Feeling he had the advantage of being in such a convenient position, he deliberately rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing the secondhand Rolex he had bought at a high price on his wrist.
He picked up the decanter with a courteous manner and filled Lin Wei's wine glass to the brim.
"Mr. Lin, I've heard so much about you. I'm Zhang Qi from Xunyuan Technology."
"I've long heard of Mr. Lin's talent and promise. Would I have the honor of adding you on WeChat? I'd love to learn from you in the future."
Although Lin Wei had no recollection of this person, in such situations, it was mostly just an act.
She smiled politely, pulled up the QR code on her business card, and turned the screen towards the other person.
"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind."
Zhang Qi was overjoyed and quickly took out his phone.
Just as his phone was about to capture the QR code,
A hand with distinct knuckles deftly and skillfully snatched Lin Wei's phone away.
"Mr. Lin, my phone is dead. Can I borrow your phone to check the time?"
