The hall was brightly lit, and many people recognized Yang Jiangyue walking next to Zhang Wenyu.
Zhang Wenyu rarely appears in public with the company's image. Faced with such a Buddhist boss, Yang Jiangyue, as an assistant, has no choice but to do her job. Many times, she attends events on behalf of Zhang Wenyu, so more people know her than Zhang Wenyu.
The bosses and managers present all knew that a new company in City S was booming. Its owner was a mysterious figure, powerful yet rarely seen. His employees were exceptionally capable, and many matters were handled by the company's manager and assistants. After much inquiry, they knew only that the company's owner was surnamed Zhang, young, and Chinese.
Although there is only one investment company open to the outside world now, this mysterious boss actually owns many companies, and the number is still increasing. Therefore, many people are interested in Boss Zhang from S City and want to get to know him.
They had already received word that the mysterious Boss Zhang would be attending tonight's event. When they saw Assistant Yang, who was standing beside Boss Zhang, and a strange woman beside him, they all turned their attention in unison.
"Do you know the lady next to Assistant Yang? I don't recognize her. I haven't seen her in City B before."
"I haven't seen her either. Since she came with Assistant Yang, could she be the daughter of Mr. Zhang from City S?"
"Probably not."
Another person joined the discussion.
"The online rumor about Boss Zhang is that he's not very old, but this young lady looks to be in her twenties. Based on what I've heard, Boss Zhang's child can't possibly be this old."
The bald man who had been listening quietly nearby suddenly said with a wink.
"This gentleman is right! I also think this young lady is not the daughter of Mr. Zhang from S City. What do you think? Could this girl be Mr. Zhang's confidante?"
The woman in the dark brown suit skirt looked at the bald man with disgust and said coldly.
"The Zhang Group in City S had previously announced that their boss and Assistant Yang would be attending the banquet together. This young lady showed up with Assistant Yang, but didn't you ever consider that she was actually Boss Zhang?"
"Hahaha, this lady is really good at joking. How could Boss Zhang from City S be a little girl?"
The bald man laughed as if the woman in the suit skirt had told a joke. He did not consider the possibility of what the woman in the suit skirt said at all, and retorted with a disdainful tone.
Several other participants in the discussion were also skeptical.
I also find it unlikely, Madam Zhou. It's not that we look down on women, but this young lady is too young. She really doesn't look like Boss Zhang.
Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly and asked.
"They said before that their boss would be attending the banquet with Assistant Yang. Now that Assistant Yang is here, you all claim the person she came with wasn't Boss Zhang. So, I'm really curious. According to you, where is Boss Zhang?"
"Boss Zhang, Boss Zhang is..."
The people around him stammered and couldn't answer.
A thin old man with a goatee frowned and looked at Mrs. Zhou.
"Mrs. Zhou, even if this young lady came with Assistant Yang, that doesn't mean she's Boss Zhang, right? What if Boss Zhang was delayed by something? Or maybe he didn't come to the banquet like before? These are all possible, right? It's too arbitrary to conclude that she's Boss Zhang just because she came in with Assistant Yang!"
Mrs. Zhou glanced around with contempt, not wanting to discuss it with them anymore. She chuckled and turned to walk towards Zhang Wenyu and Yang Jiangyue.
Yang Jiangyue was just planning to go and say hello to their partners with Zhang Wenyu. Before they had taken a few steps, a woman in a suit skirt, with black hair and red lips, and full of aura, came towards them.
The other person had a warm smile on his face, holding a glass of red wine and laughing loudly.
"Assistant Yang, long time no see. This is Mr. Zhang from Zhang Corporation in City S, right? Hello, Mr. Zhang. My last name is Zhou, and everyone calls me Mrs. Zhou. I've heard that Mr. Zhang is a young talent, but I didn't expect you to be even younger than I thought. I used to think I was young, but now that I've been compared to Mr. Zhang, I don't dare to say that anymore."
Zhang Wenyu reached out and briefly shook hands with Mrs. Zhou, responding with a smile.
"Madam Zhou is in her prime, smart and capable. She is a heroine we admire. I should learn from her."
Zhang Wenyu and Mrs. Zhou praised each other's business and had a very pleasant conversation.
The group of people behind them looked at the scene in surprise and whispered to each other.
"What do you mean? Why is the woman surnamed Zhou chatting with that person? Is that person really Mr. Zhang from S City?!"
The bald man said with a pout.
"It must be fake! Maybe the woman surnamed Zhou felt embarrassed and deliberately chatted with the other party in front of us to mislead us!"
"But I just heard the woman surnamed Zhou call the other person Mr. Zhang. If she recognized the wrong person, Assistant Yang would definitely warn her, right?"
The man with a goatee twirled his beard and sneered.
"Can you guys use your brains? How could such a large company be owned by a little girl?! No one knows the identity of Mr. Zhang. This company is growing so fast, do you believe there's no one behind it? Maybe the real boss is some big boss who can't show up, so he deliberately found this little girl to speak for him."
The people around him nodded repeatedly.
“That makes sense!”
"Mr. Hu is right!"
There were also some people who did not agree with what the man with the goatee said, but they did not refute him out loud, but just quietly moved away from them.
Zhang Wenyu chatted with Mrs. Zhou for a while, and then went to find other partners to maintain some relationships.
People around them kept recognizing them and came over to talk to Zhang Wenyu. Soon, Zhang Wenyu's phone address book was filled with the contact information of bigwigs from all walks of life.
After making herself familiar to everyone, Zhang Wenyu, who thought she had completed her mission, wanted to find a place to rest. She used the excuse of washing her hands to successfully leave the crowd that came to chat with her.
After coming out of the bathroom, Zhang Wenyu prepared to find a quiet corner to stay for a while.
After taking a quick look around, I immediately caught my eye of the sofa behind the round pillar.
The sofa faces the hall, so you can hear what's happening in the hall without attracting anyone's attention. It's a perfect position.
Zhang Wenyu looked at this position with satisfaction, lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and walked straight there.
Just as I walked to the front of the sofa and was about to sit down and relax, I bumped into an old man who looked familiar at the other end of the sofa.
Both sides looked at each other in surprise, curious about why the other party appeared here, but they both tacitly remained silent.
The two looked at each other, seeing from each other's eyes that the other was planning the same thing as themselves, and smiled at the same time, then sat down together, each occupying one end of the sofa, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
