The waiter, who was supposed to be leading Xiao Zheng, was startled. He hurriedly walked forward and tried to help Shang Yao, whose dress was almost touching the ground. But how could the latter let a lowly waiter touch her? When the waiter came closer, she frowned and said, "No need."
She had wanted to play a trick on Xiao Zheng. If she had succeeded, she would have been able to improve their relationship, which would have been beneficial for their future cooperation. Even if she had failed, it would have been a joke. It would have been harmless.
But who would have thought that not only did Xiao Zheng not accept her invitation, but he also used the waiter to play a trick on her? Instead, he made use of the waiter to play a trick on her. It was indeed unpleasant.
But Shang Yao was shrewd. She would not show her emotions so easily. After blasting away the attendants, she smiled and walked shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Zheng, walking into the Copper Sparrow Pavilion.
"How grand."
When the two entered the lobby, they were immediately stunned by the Bronze Sparrow Pavilion's uncanny workmanship. Even the knowledgeable Shang Yao could not help but sigh. "It's much more grand than my father's clubhouse."
"Speaking of Boss Shang," Xiao Zheng smiled and asked casually. "Has he never been to the Bronze Sparrow Pavilion?"
The expression in Shang Yao's eyes changed slightly when she heard this. She said in a light tone, "Mr. Xiao, aren't you asking the obvious?" After a pause, she added. She paused and added, "My father has never been on the same stage with Lin Chaotian. Everyone in Yan Jin knows this. Why do you have to ask so many times, Mr Xiao? "
Xiao Zheng Smiled and nodded. He joked, "You can tell that I'm just asking casually."
Shang Yao pursed her lips. She did not know if Xiao Zheng was really asking casually or if he had an ulterior motive. But all in all, compared to when they first met two years ago, the current Xiao Zheng had undergone an earth-shattering transformation. He was no longer the poor boy from back then.
Under the waiter's guidance, the two took the elevator to the eighth floor. This was the top floor of the Copper Sparrow Pavilion. He went around the screen and walked into a spacious and unique corridor. He bumped into three elegant young masters head-on.
Seeing the three of them, Shang Yao revealed a warm and sincere smile. Xiao Zheng, on the other hand, was slightly taken aback with a subtle expression.
Who were these three people?
They were Yen Teng-kuei and the others who had a conflict with Xiao Zheng. As usual, Zhao Chuan and Xia Houwu were like his twin brothers. The three of them were inseparable, their friendship deep.
Yen Teng-kuei had already made a name for himself in the political circle after not seeing him for almost a year. Coupled with his powerful family background, as well as the path of success that his father had paved for him. Although Yen Teng-kuei had suffered a huge loss a year ago, he had made a comeback and was once again an influential figure in the Beijing circle.
The three of them walked like the wind, giving off a strong aura. They met directly with Xiao Zheng and Xiao Luo.
"Big Brother." Shang Yao took the initiative to greet him with a smile. "How have you been?"
"Very well." Yen Teng-kuei did not seem to like this little sister of the Yan family at all. He did not know whether it was because the three sons of the Yan family ran in the opposite direction, or because their sibling relationship was indifferent. He only lightly nodded his head, as a form of greeting.
On the contrary, when his gaze fell on Xiao Zheng's face, a hint of viciousness flashed across Yen Teng-kuei's handsome face. He said in a deep tone, "Boss Xiao, long time no see."
"That's right. Counting it, it's already been over a year. "Xiao Zheng smiled meaningfully, asking casually. "How have you been?"
Shang Yao's concerned question may have been out of politeness, but Xiao Zheng's question was much more interesting. It was thought-provoking.
Yan Dengkui narrowed his eyes and said, "Very good." After a pause, he slowly asked again. After a pause, he slowly asked, "I've heard that Boss Xiao and Young Master Chang had a misunderstanding, there shouldn't be any big problems right?"
This was clearly to sow discord.
Of course, Xiao Zheng and Chang Yishan did not get along. This was something that the entire Yan Jing knew. Even in the Copper Sparrow Terrace, he did not have any intention of covering it up.
"No problem." Xiao Zheng grinned. "Otherwise, why would Young Master Chang invite me to his Copper Sparrow Terrace?"
Yen Teng-kuei nodded his head. He did not say anything else, entering the VIP room with Zhao Chuan to rest. There was still around an hour before the meal. Even the owner of the Copper Sparrow Terrace did not appear, so they naturally had their own free time.
Entering the VIP room, Xia Houwu said with a face full of dissatisfaction, "This kid is really arrogant."
Zhao Chuan leisurely sat on a chair, lighting a cigarette. With a serious expression, he said, "This person is really not simple. In a short two years, he has transformed from a nameless little security guard to an influential person on the same level as Chang Yishan. Amazing. "
The two of them had the same opinion of Xiao Zheng, but while one spoke sarcastically, the other was cautious. From this, one could see how much of an influence one's family background had on one's personality.
Yen Teng-kuei slowly sat down, casually picking up an apple and taking a bite. As he rejected, he said with a darkened face, "It's just that he relied on Lin Huayin to help him build bridges and pave roads. Otherwise, how could he have the status he has today? "
In two years, he had caught up to Yen Teng-kuei's thirty years of accumulation and management. If it was anyone else, this would be a cruel reality that was hard to accept.
Two years ago, Yen Teng-kuei could look down on the worthless Xiao Zheng. He could even play around with this nameless person without the slightest scruple. But today, he had lost this right, and he did not have this boldness anymore. One reason was that after the last battle, his arrogant personality had been ground flat. Secondly, with Xiao Zheng's current background and power, even if he still had the boldness, he might not have the strength to do so.
Just Lin Huayin's rage at the first lady, Dong Bijun's birthday banquet alone was enough to intimidate a playboy like Yen Teng-kuei. Not to mention that even Shang Yao, the younger sister who was gradually returning to her original appearance, had taken a liking to him. It was obvious that this was all done by his uncle, Shang Jingtian, behind the scenes.
Just based on these two points, it was enough to instantly defeat countless pampered young masters in Yan Jin. They couldn't even look at his back.
Yen Teng-kuei knew that everything that Xiao Zheng had was brought to him by Lin Huayin. This was also the reason why Yen Teng-kuei wanted to get close to Lin Huayin at all costs. Even if he was born into a rich family, once he got together with Lin Huayin, he would be able to save thirty years of hard work, or even a lifetime of hard work.
Yet, this good thing still happened to Xiao Zheng in the end. It was pitiful and enraging.
"I think that Chang Yishan didn't invite him with good intentions." Zhao Chuan's eyes flashed as he said with a faint smile. "And if he comes, he definitely won't be at ease as a guest."
"You have to know that this club is called the Bronze Sparrow Terrace. Then, wouldn't Lin Huayin be the Unparalleled Qiao in Chang Yishan's heart? "Zhao Chuan said with a sly look on his face. "Dengkuei, when the time comes, let's fan the flames and watch the show. Wouldn't that be fun?"
Yen Teng-kuei raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile. "You're still the cunning one. You know that this isn't a simple meal. "
