Not long after Yin Chengjue re-entered the banquet hall, it was time for Old Master Hua to come out and greet everyone. The Hua couple came with Hua Yun, accompanied by the guards who were temporarily staying at Hua Yun's house.
Hua Yun's father was the second oldest in his family, with an older brother. So, the task of entertaining guests didn't fall to Hua Yun's family. They just had to wait for the time to come and push the old man out.
As soon as Wei Shu entered the banquet hall, his sharp eyes spotted Yin Chengjue. He greeted the Hua couple and Hua Yun, then took the pastries and walked straight toward Yin Chengjue.
Seeing the guards approach him, Yin Chengjue exchanged a puzzled glance with Hua Yun in the distance.
Hua Yun shrugged and gestured to Yin Chengjue, "Could you please keep an eye on him for me?"
Yin Chengjue: "..." Why can I understand these complex gestures...?
Besides, the garrison guards aren't children; why would they need me to watch over them?
After silently cursing to himself, Yin Chengjue looked at the guard again and saw that the other man was holding a plate of pastries and taking a big bite of them, already eating with great relish.
Yin Chengjue: "..." Okay, I get it.
While everyone else was busy chatting, Wei Shu immediately started eating, which inevitably drew some attention. However, Wei Shu wasn't very good at reading people's expressions. While eating, he brought Yin Chengjue a plate and cheerfully introduced, "The chef here is incredibly skilled! The macarons and cream puffs are absolutely amazing! I often eat here. Hua Zi specially invited them to make the desserts this time! Jue Zi, try some!"
Yin Chengjue: "..." Influenced by Qin Ke, these people have started to address him differently now... Wait, that's not the point. The point is... Hua Yun didn't hire a chef specifically to make birthday banquet desserts, but rather hired someone to make them specifically for you, right...?
"Oh, right! You still haven't told me, how did you know I was that kind of person?" Wei Shu suddenly leaned closer, his expression unusually serious. "I didn't even tell Hua Zi about this! How did you know? Did I expose something? Tell me quickly!"
Yin Chengjue: "..." You can't exactly say that I've lived two lives, and in my previous life I personally witnessed you helping Hua Yun hack into the competitor's computer and then remotely manipulate the company's stock price to short it, which led to Hua Yun's resounding victory at the close of trading that time, can you?
Not knowing how to explain it best, Yin Chengjue simply kept it a secret and said, "Guess."
The guard complained, "I hate guessing games! Why are you like Hua Zi, always making me guess!"
Yin Chengjue glanced at the guard's pouting lips and could vaguely guess the reason.
Teasing people is a fun thing, especially when the person being teased happens to be cute and always falls for it.
Yin Chengjue raised his head and glanced at Hua Yun from afar... only to meet her death stare.
Look, if you encounter an unlovable person, it will be very boring to try to make them laugh.
Yin Chengjue smiled and raised his hand, as if to pat the guard's head.
In slow motion, Yin Chengjue slowly raised his hand, moving it up along Wei Shu's slender waist, slowly, slowly moving it to the back of Wei Shu's neck, and then slowly moving it to Wei Shu's head.
"Whoosh!" Hua Yun's cold face appeared in front of Yin Chengjue like a ghost, grabbed Yin Chengjue's hand, and shoved it away violently!
Yin Chengjue was fine, but Wei Shu was startled by the sudden oppressive feeling behind him. He quickly turned around and was startled by Hua Yun's dark face.
"Why did you suddenly appear? You scared me to death! Are you a ghost? And weren't you supposed to be entertaining guests and told me to stay here and not wander off? I didn't run away! I was just talking to Juezi!" Wei Shu raised his hand and swore.
Hua Yun stared intently at Yin Chengjue, her words still polite: "I've changed my mind now."
Garrison: ? ? ?
Hua Yun placed her hand on Wei Shu's head and stared at Yin Chengjue, saying, "President Yin must have other things to do, so we won't trouble you any further. You should come with me."
The last sentence was spoken to the garrison.
Yin Chengjue immediately made a gesture of invitation.
The guard looked completely bewildered.
Yin Chengjue watched the two leave one after the other, and smiled with amusement.
Hua Yun is exceptionally capable; her family must have high hopes for her, right? Under such circumstances, the path these two are about to take will certainly not be smooth.
There's also fierce infighting within the Hua family.
Yin Chengjue could not concern himself with other people's affairs; he could only sigh.
The Hua family was large and powerful, and since they had invited everyone over, they had naturally arranged a place for everyone to rest. Yin Chengjue told his servant that he was tired and wanted to rest, and was then led upstairs to his room.
After taking the room key from the servant, Yin Chengjue closed and locked the door, then went straight to the bathroom.
The banquet was packed with people, the air thick with the smells of alcohol, making Yin Chengjue feel extremely uncomfortable. All those smiles were just for show.
It wasn't until he immersed himself in the steaming water that Yin Chengjue felt like he had come back to life, recalling the events of the past few days.
There were still some of Feng Chengda's spies in Huansheng Entertainment, but he has gradually removed quite a few of them. At least those who held important positions have been replaced and can no longer cause any major trouble for the time being.
Huansheng Entertainment is just a stepping stone. The entertainment industry is a place where you can make a lot of money quickly, but you can also lose it just as fast. One wrong step and you'll lose everything.
Therefore, you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.
Yin Chengjue's top priority now is to start his own company, which will not be registered under the Yin family name. It will be his own company, and the startup fund will not involve any member of the Yin family.
The Yin family is entangled with too many things. Although it bears the name "Yin", the old master Yin is old and unable to do much. The company's shares are also divided among many people. As a spoiled young master in the eyes of others, it is difficult for him to have decision-making power.
Instead of squeezing in and pretending to please those people to grab a little bit of scraps, it's better to go out and do it yourself.
As for the company's development direction, Yin Chengjue has already formulated a plan, and is just waiting for the premiere of "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" to rake in money, and for "Blood Mist" to become a huge hit.
Yin Chengjue admitted that this was a gamble on his part, and coincidentally, he had placed all his bets on Rong Yu.
"Splash..." Yin Chengjue stood up from the bathtub, and crystal-clear water droplets slid down his well-proportioned and strong muscles, splashing onto the water's surface one by one.
Yin Chengjue grabbed a dry towel to wipe himself clean, then casually tied the towel around his waist, pushed open the bathroom door, and walked out...
Yin Chengjue: "..." I must have opened the bathroom door wrong. Why do I see someone sitting on my bed?
Yin Chengjue, who had taken a few steps, silently retreated, closed the door, waited a few seconds, and then opened it again...
On the bed directly opposite the bathroom door sat a man wearing a half-open shirt, revealing most of his shoulders, with a fair face flushed pink.
The man who emerged from the bathroom brought with him a wave of warm air mixed with the scent of shower gel. His fair skin, perfectly proportioned figure, slightly protruding eight-pack abs, and long, straight legs were enough to make anyone's blood boil.
Mingqian was no exception.
He came with his own purpose, but now, looking at the man in front of him, he could truly feel his heart pounding like a drum.
Previously, because of Feng Changheng, he really looked down on this man, thinking that he had no future and that the Yin family's money would eventually end up in the Feng family's pocket.
But now, the tables have turned. Yin He and Feng Chengda are divorced, and Feng Chengda is hospitalized. Feng Changheng is lucky that he hasn't been dragged down by Feng Chengda's huge medical and nursing expenses, let alone getting money from Feng Chengda. In addition, Feng Changheng himself is still in school, so where can he earn money to promote him and give him resources?
Mingqian entered the banquet with Chang Yue tonight, but Chang Yue quickly took a liking to the other women and told him to go back on his own.
Mingqian was furious inside, but she could only keep smiling.
He was no one to Chang Yue; their relationship was merely a transaction. Chang Yue could provide him with the resources he wanted, so he obediently followed Chang Yue's orders.
Mingqian thought that since she had come all this way, how could she just leave like this? So she remembered Yin Chengjue, whom she had bumped into on the balcony.
Mingqian still clearly remembers that when this man entered the banquet hall, he attracted the attention of many people. Even though those gazes were more or less tinged with gossip and a desire to watch the show, it did not negate the fact that Yin Chengjue was destined to be the center of attention wherever he went.
Who would have thought that this man was actually Feng Changheng's half-brother?
In terms of wealth, looks, figure, and temperament, how can Feng Changheng compare?
So when Mingqian overheard Yin Chengjue talking to a waiter about wanting to rest, she followed him almost without hesitation.
At these banquets, it's common for wealthy family members to bring their own companions, exchanging gifts of companions, and even engaging in various activities together. As long as nothing too serious happens, the host family won't interfere.
Today's banquet was large, and many new waiters were invited. Mingqian simply lied to them, saying that she was there to keep them company in bed. She then threatened them, telling them that they would be responsible if they made a mistake. They chickened out and obediently took out their spare room cards.
Mingqian was then able to enter, and pretended to be flustered as if she had entered the wrong door.
"Who...who are you? How come there are other people in this room?" Mingqian pretended to be drunk, swaying as she tried to get up from the bed. But when her feet touched the ground, she wobbled and collapsed to the floor.
Yin Chengjue clearly remembered that in his previous life, Mingqian, after getting drunk, slept like a dead pig.
There won't be any scene of Mingqian being half-drunk and staggering around, because Mingqian is a lightweight, Yin Chengjue has tested her countless times and there has never been an exception.
Of course, the possibility that Mingqian is pretending to be asleep cannot be ruled out.
So here's the question: if Mingqian's cup of tea in the past life was real, then this one is fake; if Mingqian in the past life was fake, then this one is most likely fake too.
Yes, perfect logic.
Yin Chengjue brushed the wet hair that had fallen across his forehead back to his forehead.
He twisted his wrist.
I loosened up my muscles and bones.
Author's Note: Yin Chengjue: My enemies are delivering themselves to my door for me to beat up? Whew! Face the storm!
