After a moment of silence, Zhang Wenyu felt a little awkward and hesitated for a moment before speaking to break the silence.
"Hahaha, old man, we meet again, what a coincidence!"
The old man's face was calm, as if he was sitting in his own living room, looking relaxed and content. When he heard Zhang Wenyu speak, he opened his slightly closed eyes, smiled, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Yes, I didn't expect to meet you here after leaving the museum. What's your name?"
Zhang Wenyu grinned and said with a smile.
"My last name is Zhang, Zhang Wenyu. People used to call me Xiao Zhang, but now some call me Mr. Zhang, and some call me Miss Zhang. My family and friends call me Wenwen. Old man, we've visited the museum together, so we should be considered friends. You can call me Wenwen or Xiao Zhang."
The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes a little surprised, and then he laughed.
"Xiao Zhang? Haha, what a coincidence! I was also called Xiao Zhang when I was young! I really have a connection with you, my friend."
"Is your last name Zhang too?"
Zhang Wenyu opened his mouth wide and looked at the old man with eyes wide open.
"Oh my god! What a coincidence! Should I call you grandpa?"
The old man was startled, then laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to have such an outstanding junior at the party today. This trip is really worth it for me, old man!"
Zhang Wenyu asked.
"Old man, why are you here? Don't you want to connect with the other bosses?"
Mr. Zhang asked back.
"You little girl also came here to find some peace and quiet, so can't an old man like me get some peace and quiet?"
Zhang Wenyu wrinkled his nose and leaned back on the sofa.
"I'm tired of this kind of scene. Everyone is wearing a mask. It's so boring!"
Mr. Zhang said in a low voice.
"I'm also impatient to talk to them. It's boring, but I have to deal with them. I finally found such a quiet and nice place, and you almost got it first."
Zhang Wenyu and Mr. Zhang, a new grandfather and grandson who had just gotten together to relax, had a lot in common and talked happily, completely forgetting about the banquet.
The two of them were so engrossed in their conversation that it was hard for the people following them.
Yang Jiangyue, who finally got away from the crowd, suddenly found that her boss was missing. She couldn't find him in the hall or the bathroom, which made her very anxious.
Elsewhere, the people who had accompanied Mr. Zhang, after speaking with their friends, also realized they couldn't find their father. They were instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Fearing the news would leak out, they dared not speak out. They pretended nothing had happened and wandered the halls searching for the old man.
The two groups were looking for their own things, but they found the grandfather and grandson who were happily chatting in this corner.
Yang Jiangyue was relieved to see Zhang Wenyu, but when she saw Zhang Wenyu still looking at her in confusion, she spoke with a hint of fear in her tone.
"Mr. Zhang, why are you hiding here? I had a conversation with a few of the CEOs, and when I came out, I couldn't find you. I called you but you didn't answer. I thought something happened to you!"
Yang Jiangyue quickly stepped forward to hold back her wayward boss, fearing that if she turned around, he would slip away again.
The group on Mr. Zhang's side was even bigger, led by a cool, handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a dignified appearance. He could be said to be one of the most handsome men Zhang Wenyu had ever seen.
There were three or four bodyguards standing behind the handsome guy, and their vigilant eyes swept over Zhang Wenyu and Yang Jiangyue from time to time.
As soon as these people arrived, Mr. Zhang transformed from the amiable neighbor grandfather who used to joke with Zhang Wenyu into the stern boss of a wealthy family in City B who sat firmly in a high position, held great power, and was serious about everything he said.
The handsome guy stepped forward and helped Mr. Zhang, who was sitting on the sofa, up. The bodyguard quickly stepped forward and calmly protected the man in the middle.
The handsome guy glanced at Zhang Wenyu before leaving, his eyes revealing suspicion and vigilance.
Zhang Wenyu knew from the moment this group of people appeared that the old man who had visited the museum with him and was chatting with him here was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, being looked at in this way, he glared back unhappily.
Mr. Zhang reached out to stop the handsome but impolite man and said.
"Huai Xu, don't be rude to Miss Zhang."
The handsome guy immediately turned around and nodded respectfully.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang!"
The grand scene here alarmed the surrounding guests, and there happened to be an acquaintance of Zhang Wenyu nearby.
"Miss Zhang?! Why are you here? Hey! Mr. Zhang? You're here too?! Do you know Miss Zhang?!"
This person is Zhang Wenyu’s neighbor in City B, Sui Min from the Sui family.
Sui Min obviously didn't expect to run into her new neighbor here, and this new neighbor was suspected to be acquainted with Mr. Zhang.
The Sui family is a well-established family in City B, boasting a large and diverse family with talented individuals across various industries. Sui Min is outgoing, sociable, and unassuming. She prioritizes simplicity and convenience in her everyday needs, which is why some often overlook her status as the daughter of a wealthy family.
But Sui Min is actually a wealthy lady from the upper class society. This identity is fully reflected at this time.
Both her family and the Zhang family represented by Elder Zhang were top families in China. Naturally, the two families had a close relationship. Sui Min had known Elder Zhang, the man whose clap of his hands could shake City B, since she was a child.
When Mr. Zhang saw that the visitor was a younger member of the Sui family, his serious expression disappeared and his eyes became much softer.
"It's Minmin from the Sui family. How's your grandma doing lately? I've been busy lately, and I haven't chatted with old friends in a while. Please give your grandma my regards when you get home."
Sui Min's outfit today is very different from her usual casual look. She is wearing a nude pink long dress, which is elegant and generous, showing the noble temperament of a rich family's daughter.
Sui Min smiled sweetly.
"My grandma is in good health. She asked about you a few days ago and said she wanted to find time to get together with you elders!"
Upon hearing the news of his old friend's good health, Mr. Zhang was in a good mood, and his brows relaxed. He glanced at Zhang Wenyu beside him and asked.
"Minmin, Wenwen, do you two know each other too?"
Sui Min was slightly surprised when she heard Mr. Zhang address Zhang Wenyu.
Mr. Zhang's attitude towards Miss Zhang seemed like he was treating one of his own juniors, but his elders and Mr. Zhang were very close, and since both families lived in City B, the younger generations knew each other. He had never heard that there was another young lady in the Zhang family?!
But Miss Zhang also has the surname Zhang. When she first arrived, she bought the courtyard house next to the old house. However, her background is mysterious and nothing can be found out. Now she is acquainted with Mr. Zhang. Could she really be the young lady of the Zhang family who is secretly hiding outside?
But if Miss Zhang is really a member of the Zhang family, how could Mr. Zhang not know that they know each other?
Sui Min frowned, puzzled.
Zhang Wenyu didn't expect to meet Sui Min here, and explained to Mr. Zhang with a smile.
"I first came to City B and found it inconvenient to stay in a hotel, so I bought a house, which happened to be next door to Miss Sui's house."
