Chapter 128 Like a Cat Chasing a Mouse



After finishing her sentence, Mingdai left immediately.

The next morning, the assistant did not come. He said he was not feeling well, but he did not specify what was wrong. Mingdai even called to check on him.

She wanted to visit the assistant, but was politely refused.

"I didn't go to the hospital, I'm just resting at home. I'll be fine tomorrow and can go back to work normally."

Mingdai could hear a woman's voice on the phone, and she guessed it was the assistant's girlfriend.

The assistant suddenly remembered something.

"There's a business cocktail party tonight, and I received two invitations. I wasn't sure I'd have time to go, but these kinds of occasions are perfect for attracting investment. How about we give it a try tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Mingdai immediately nodded.

"But your body..."

"It's okay, I can manage."

Mingdai felt quite embarrassed when the assistant said that.

There was nothing we could do.

In the evening, Mingdai finished getting ready and drove to pick up the assistant.

The assistant to the chief was handsome, but his face was a little pale.

Seeing his expression, Mingdai couldn't help but doubt, "Are you really capable?"

Assistant: "...You can't doubt a man's ability."

Mingdai's lips twitched. Well, it seems they've really gotten to know each other well enough to joke like this.

The assistant realized something was wrong and apologized.

Mingdai waved her hand dismissively, "Tell me if you feel unwell at all. Investments can't be rushed. Besides, if we openly solicit investment after signing a project, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Let's see how it goes tonight. In short, your health is the most important thing."

The assistant was deeply moved.

To be honest, he was the one most responsible for the project's problems. Mingdai not only didn't blame him, but she didn't even say a harsh word to him, which made him feel even more ashamed.

Upon arriving at the venue, Mingdai looked around at the people coming and going, and was surprised.

"When did you become so successful? You're getting invitations to parties like this?"

Although the Ming family does have some money, they are still a long way from the elite circles of high society.

Their daily social interactions consist mainly of people from the same social circle.

Tonight was quite strange; I actually managed to climb onto the fringes of high society.

The assistant was a little smug.

"Thanks to my girlfriend."

"Wow!"

Mingdai screamed, very excited.

Although she had seen the world a few times with He Yaonian, she was well aware of the awkwardness of trying to force herself into a circle when you're not in the same one.

Even though she had received many invitations, she declined to participate, knowing full well that even if she went, she would most likely be treated like a monkey in a zoo.

Please say thank you for me.

Mingdai clinked her champagne glass with the assistant.

"It's not a big deal."

The assistant was equally unceremonious.

The two smiled.

There were many people at the scene whom the two did not know, so they secretly found a place to sit down and study.

Mingdai took out the notebook.

The assistant leaned closer to take a look.

"Did you survey everyone who came?"

Mingdai nodded, "Know yourself and know your enemy, but it's not comprehensive and the information is limited, but it can still help you filter out a few relatively powerful investors."

The assistant was impressed.

"I didn't prepare anything."

He wasn't unprepared; he was simply feeling unwell. If he hadn't come to this party tonight, he wouldn't even have been able to get out of bed.

Mingdai understood him.

There are walls in any circle; even if you've made preparations, you still need a way to breach them.

Mingdai drew circles and dots in the notebook.

"We must make sure to get acquainted with these people later, at least we need to get to know them first."

The assistant received instructions and carefully examined the photo Mingdai had given him.

He nodded. "Okay."

After sitting for a while, the two went their separate ways, taking advantage of any opportunity to approach their target.

While Mingdai was searching for someone among the crowd, she didn't notice Mo Qingying passing by in front of her at all.

She only had to stop when Mo Qingying crossed her arms and arrogantly blocked her way.

Mo Qingying looked at Ming Dai with disdain.

"You really know how to squeeze into any crack in the wall. Is this a place you can even be?"

Mingdai was busy looking for people, and she was worried that someone would show their face and then run away. She was very anxious.

Now that Mo Qingying is blocking her way, she is speechless.

He had no interest in finding out why Mo Qingying was there.

"If you can come, why can't I?"

Mingdai was talking while looking around.

Mo Qingying looked at her like this.

What are you looking for?

Mingdai looked away.

He looked Mo Qingying up and down.

Wearing a limited edition item, does that mean she's rich?

"I'm a bit curious because I've never seen the world before."

Mingdai didn't want to waste time with Mo Qingying.

"I'll go look around elsewhere; after all, this isn't a place I can just come to whenever I want."

They spoke with an air of "come and make a profit."

Mo Qingying, disgusted, quickly moved away from Ming Dai.

Mingdai seized the opportunity and left immediately.

Several of Mo Qingying's newly acquainted friends followed her over.

Who is that?

Mo Qingying shrugged. "I don't know him. He's probably just some country bumpkin who barged in without an invitation."

"No way, someone could have sneaked in at this event?"

"If someone really sneaked in, wouldn't that cause chaos? Should we call security to kick them out?"

"Oh, he's just a stranger. If something happens, someone will take care of him. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Okay, okay, let's go get something to eat."

Mo Qingying was still immersed in the wonderful feeling of integrating into her new circle and had no time to pay attention to Mingdai.

Mingdai finally found a target and was about to go up and say hello when she was intercepted by a beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman linked arms with her target and led him away in a coquettish manner.

Helpless, Mingdai tilted her head and turned away to find another target.

It was at this time that Lin Yang came into Ming Dai's view.
