Ye Chen, accompanied by Li Muyue and his entourage, a group of over ten people, headed to the auction venue.
This charity auction was jointly organized by the three major families and invited almost all the top families and forces in Beijing.
Most of the auctioned items are donated by individuals, and the proceeds will be used to help impoverished children.
Almost all the invited celebrities participated or sent representatives. Firstly, this was organized by three major families, and business people in China would give face to these three families.
Secondly, attending such occasions can bring some empty fame, and most importantly, it allows one to meet more powerful and influential people, which is how many business deals are made.
When Ye Chen and Li Muyue arrived, the heads of the three major families were already waiting outside the gate.
Normally, the three family heads would send their core members to these occasions, but after learning that Ye Chen was coming, they all came in person.
The head of the Li family stood in the middle, casually chatting with the other two family heads.
Sensing the sourness in the other two family heads' tone, the Li family head couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, thinking to himself, "Who told your girls not to seize the opportunity!"
Although people in their social class are generally indifferent to flattery and envy from others.
However, when faced with envy and jealousy from people at the same level, it's hard not to feel smug.
Seeing the smug look on the Li family head's face, the other two family heads became even more envious, secretly plotting how to establish a closer relationship with Ye Chen.
Everyone can see now that the future belongs to Ye Chen!
If we don't find a way to get on this big ship, our family may decline in the future.
It's surprising to see that in just one year, the Li family has already surpassed the other two families.
At this moment, Ye Chen's convoy drove up, and the three family heads, each with their own thoughts, immediately greeted them with smiles.
Some distinguished guests who arrived one after another were astonished to see the three heads of the family personally greeting them outside. They stopped in their tracks and began to discuss among themselves.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's the head of one of China's three major families?"
"I am not mistaken. I was fortunate enough to pay my respects to the head of the Li family with my elders. He is the old man in the middle. The other two people who are qualified to stand with him must be the heads of the other two families."
"Who has such great influence that the three family heads would personally greet them? Could it be that one of the leaders is coming?"
"No way, this charity auction may be high-profile, but it shouldn't be able to alarm those people!"
"Look, a convoy is coming, and the three family heads are going to greet it."
"Hey, what are these two young people? Do you know who they are?"
"It seems... that young woman is the eldest daughter of the Li family. I've met her once before."
"The eldest daughter of the Li family? Then isn't the other one Mr. Ye Chen, the founder of the Mousse Group?"
"It's Mr. Ye Chen. Although he doesn't show his face much, I've seen his photos. I didn't expect him to be even more handsome in person than in the pictures!"
......
After the three family heads received Ye Chen, they exchanged a few pleasantries at the entrance and then led him directly to the VIP room on the second floor through the VIP passage.
To protect the privacy of some distinguished clients, auction venues often set up VIP rooms, and Ye Chen was naturally assigned to VIP room number one.
Therefore, the three major families stepped in and coordinated with the other family representative who was originally in VIP Room No. 1 to move to VIP Room No. 2 next door.
At this moment, in VIP Room No. 2.
A young man dressed in fine clothes and exuding arrogance sat on the sofa with a displeased expression.
Beside them, a middle-aged man whispered words of advice.
"Young Master, please bear with it for now. In China, we must give face to the three major families."
"This time, all three families persuaded us to change rooms, so there must be an even more important person coming."
The young man snorted coldly, glanced at the respectful middle-aged man beside him, and said impatiently, "Old Liu, you don't need to talk nonsense. I'm not a fool. I certainly wouldn't offend the three major families in China. I'm just annoyed!"
After saying that, he picked up the red wine on the table, took a few big gulps, and then slammed the glass down on the table, saying unwillingly, "I want to see who stole the Hong family's position and whether they are qualified to make me back down!"
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Upon hearing this, Butler Liu bid farewell to the young man in fine clothes and went outside.
A moment later, he re-entered the room and said to the young man in fine clothes, "Young Master, the people in VIP Room Number One have arrived."
"Who is it?" Young Master Hong asked in a cold voice.
"The two leading figures are a young man and a young woman; the woman is Miss Li Muyue," Butler Liu said truthfully after a moment's hesitation.
As expected, upon hearing Li Muyue's name, Hong Shao's expression immediately changed. He stood up abruptly and stared at him, asking, "Old Liu, are you sure it's Li Muyue?"
"Confirmed. The person we sent out to keep an eye on her knows Miss Li," Butler Liu replied respectfully, inwardly praying that the person before him wouldn't act impulsively.
"Mu Yue!"
Hong Shaojia muttered to himself, the image of Li Muyue appearing in his mind, his eyes flashing with a burning desire and greed.
He had been captivated by Li Muyue's beauty since he saw her abroad many years ago, and had never been able to forget her.
The Hongmen is very powerful among overseas Chinese, but its influence in the country is limited.
Over the years, as the heir to the Hongmen, he has used many methods to pursue Li Muyue, but none of them have worked.
The more unattainable something is, the more unwilling he is to accept it; this has almost become a mental illness for Hong Shaojia.
Especially after hearing that Li Muyue had married, this heartache not only did not lessen, but became even more severe.
