Xiao Yuanmu nodded slightly and said, "I'm glad you can come, Aunt Song."
Li Nian'an nodded and said, "Congratulations on finding your biological parents. I'm also very happy that your company is so successful. Xuanhe is also very happy about your current achievements and everything. I wish you all the best on his behalf."
"Thank you." Hearing Li Nian'an mention Song Xuanhe, Xiao Yuanmu's clear voice softened a little, and asked, "Is he okay?"
Li Nian'an smiled and said, "I told you before, he wanted to resign, but his family didn't agree, so he could only take a vacation. That kid is still too young, always thinking of one thing and doing another, making everyone around him worry. You must have often taken care of him when you were together, and it was hard for you to be with him."
Xiao Yuanmu looked at Li Nian'an, his face showing no emotion, his voice steady and firm: "I never feel tired when I am with him."
Li Nian'an was slightly stunned until her sister beside her laughed. Then she realized what was going on and smiled, "That's good."
"But." Li Nian'an raised his eyes, put away his smile, and asked: "Why did you suddenly go to the United States before? Also, are you still together or separated now?"
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes flashed: "What did Xuanhe say?"
"Him." Li Nian'an shook his head. "He said before that you had broken up. We all believed it, but I found out that he had been in contact with you, and there was your previous interview, so I want to know what's going on between you now."
Xiao Yuanmu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "My decision to come to the United States was very hasty. When I told him, he was a little angry, so he proposed to break up at that time."
Li Nian'an suddenly realized: "No wonder he seemed like a different person during that period of time. So this is how it is."
Xiao Yuanmu suddenly raised his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Xiao Yuanmu's expression, Li Nian'an smiled and said, "Now that you put it like that, I understand. He is just being stubborn. He probably refused to come this time out of spite. You don't have to take it to heart."
As the protagonist of the banquet, Xiao Yuanmu received a lot of attention. Someone saw him walking towards this side, but suddenly turned around to greet the two oriental women, and they chatted for quite a while. Someone turned around and asked the people around him, "Anderson, do you know who is next to Mr. Xiao?"
"Which Mr. Xiao?" The person next to him turned around and followed the line of sight of the person asking the question. He suddenly realized, "Today's protagonist, the two ladies beside him, I know one of them, she is George James' wife."
"Is it the one who was talking to Mr. Xiao?"
"No." The person next to him observed for a while and asked in confusion: "I don't know the lady next to Mrs. James. She looks very unfamiliar. I have never seen her before. Who is she?"
The person asking the question was equally puzzled: "I have never seen her either. Is she a family that has risen recently?"
"Don't be ridiculous." The person next to him smiled and shook his head: "Not everyone can come to today's banquet, and since Ms. Xiao was able to come in person, her identity must be very special."
Such conversations did not just take place in one place. Many people who were paying attention to Xiao Yuanmu's movements were wondering about the movements of the people around him. When several of them were talking, Song Guochao, who had just returned from taking Song Guohua out to warn him, heard their conversation before he had time to be happy that he had happened to run into the financial tycoon he had only heard of before.
"Sorry." Song Guochao said with a gentle and kind smile: "I just overheard your conversation. I know her identity, so I interrupted her."
The two people who were talking looked at Song Guochao and saw another unfamiliar face. They looked at each other and the tall and thin blond man asked, "Do you know the identity of that lady?"
"Yes." Song Guochao took a half step closer to the two and said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Song Guochao, and I am one of the managers of Huaguo Song's Enterprise. The lady who is talking to Mr. Xiao is my wife."
Chinese Song family?
This company was very unfamiliar to them before, but when they thought about the recent rumors and previous personal interviews with Xiao Yuanmu, they both had some guesses in their minds when their eyes met.
The tall, thin white man who had just spoken smiled a little: "Mr. Song, I'm Anderson, nice to meet you."
Another Asian man also introduced himself: "I'm Han, nice to meet you."
"I'm glad to meet you too, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Han." It was so easy for Song Guochao to get to know two big guys whom he had only heard of from others before. He was so proud that he almost overflowed with pride, but he still maintained a gentle and reserved smile.
Han smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao has been very busy since the banquet started, and I haven't been able to talk to him. If Mr. Song doesn't mind, could you introduce him to us?"
The smile on Song Guochao's face paused, and he turned to look at Li Nian'an who was smiling, thinking to himself, even if something unpleasant had happened before, if Xiao Yuanmu liked Song Xuanhe, he shouldn't embarrass him on the spot. What's more, Li Nian'an was here, and this was also Xiao Yuanmu's first banquet after returning to the Xiao family, so he shouldn't be criticized at this time.
Thinking of this, Song Guochao felt at ease and took the two of them to walk towards Xiao Yuanmu and the other two.
"Excuse me."
Li Nian'an was interrupted in the middle of his speech. He looked past Xiao Yuanmu to the person behind him, and frowned when he saw Song Guochao.
Xiao Yuanmu also turned his head, glanced at Song Guochao and the two people behind him, and nodded slightly: "Mr. Song, Mr. Han, Mr. Anderson."
Anderson and Han were a little surprised that Xiao Yuanmu recognized them at a glance and called out their names. Han couldn't help but ask: "Do you know us?"
"Of course." Xiao Yuanmu looked calm, but not perfunctory: "I have benefited a lot from Mr. Han's new investment views published in Finance. The myth that the market value of MFD Technology, which Mr. Anderson acquired five years ago, has increased nearly a hundred times this year was often used as an atypical case by professors when I was in college."
Anderson and Han looked at each other and saw a complex emotion of admiration and fear in each other's eyes.
The two things Xiao Yuanmu just mentioned were not the most successful and proud experiences in the eyes of outsiders, but for them they were their proudest experiences. He first recognized them at a glance and called out their names accurately, and then, in a very ordinary tone, compared their proudest experiences and identities, which made them have to have a good impression of him.
Anderson and Han were amazed at Xiao Yuanmu's extraordinary memory and insight into people's hearts. At this age, with such an outstanding status, his future is almost predictable.
They all thought that although Xiao Bacong of the Xiao family was also very outstanding, he was still far inferior to the eldest son Xiao Yuanmu who had just been found.
"You are amazing." Han looked at Xiao Yuanmu with a little more sincerity in his eyes. "I was very curious about you when I saw you in Fortune before, because my laboratory has also been doing research on new energy sources. However, no matter how we analyze it, we need a brand new element to support the experimental principle. The researchers told me that this new element is almost impossible to appear in the world, and it is almost impossible to create it under the current conditions. I didn't expect RE to do what we thought was absolutely impossible in this century. I wanted to meet you at that time, and now I don't think it's strange to see you."
Anderson also smiled and said, "Han is right. I am also very curious about you, so when I heard Mr. Song say that he knew you, I asked him to introduce us. I hope I didn't disturb your conversation."
Xiao Yuanmu said: "No, we have finished the conversation. I am going to my mother's place. I am honored to talk to Mr. Anderson and Mr. Han."
Seeing that Xiao Yuanmu had not said a word to him from beginning to end, and was ready to leave at this moment, Song Guochao could not help but say, "Yuanmu, uncle and your aunt are very grateful for your invitation, and congratulations on finding your parents."
Xiao Yuanmu had just raised his legs a little and put them down. His eyes fell on Song Guochao's smiling face and he said in a clear voice, "Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Song."
Seeing that Xiao Yuanmu treated him no differently from others, Song Guochao breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile became a little more relaxed. He said, "I've been wanting to talk to you. If you're done with your work later, come here and talk to your uncle and aunt, and talk about cooperation."
As he spoke, Song Guochao raised his hand and tried to pat Xiao Yuanmu's shoulder in a friendly manner.
Xiao Yuanmu dodged to the side, looking at Song Guochao with his dark eyes. No emotion could be seen in his eyes, but his clear voice was a little cold as he said, "Mr. Song, I don't remember discussing cooperation with the Song Group."
The smile on Song Guochao's face froze. Anderson and Han beside him looked at each other, and their expressions became subtle. Only Mrs. James frowned in confusion and looked at Li Nian'an with some worry. Li Nian'an squeezed her hand as a comfort, then glanced at Song Guochao, curled his lips lightly and said nothing.
The sudden quiet atmosphere made Song Guochao feel that everyone's eyes were fixed on his face, and all the conversations were making fun of him for trying to curry favor with the powerful. However, he absolutely could not let their ridicule come true, otherwise he would become a laughing stock in the circle and lose all his dignity.
"Hahaha." Song Guochao laughed dryly and said, "Uncle is just joking with you. Of course we won't discuss cooperation today. We can talk about it later."
Xiao Yuanmu turned around, looked at Song Guochao and said, "Mr. Song, if the Song family wants to cooperate with RE or the Xiao family, please submit the cooperation plan according to the process. This is my assistant's business card. If the cooperation case is approved, he will give you a reply, and then we will discuss the cooperation."
"Aunt, Mrs. James, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Han, I'm leaving first."
After hearing the intimacy and order of addressing by Xiao Yuanmu, Anderson and Han looked at each other, then looked at Song Guochao, the smile in their eyes had faded.
