There was a three-centimeter-long scar on Qin Shaoyang's left ear. However, it wasn't obvious under the cover of his long hair.
"Mr. Qin …" Seeing Qin Shaoyang, the mayor immediately went up to him.
If Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang represented the top scientists in the East Ocean region, then Qin Shaoyang represented the top artists in the East Ocean region.
To develop a city's image, a few leading figures were needed. With Qin Shaoyang's reputation in the East Ocean region, the mayor would definitely welcome him in person.
Qin Shaoyang smiled handsomely and shook hands with the mayor. It was just that such a smile made his wound ache a little.
"Qin Shaoyang has become the Deputy Director of your Art Program, right?" Hao Zhonghua asked Hao Ren.
"Yeah. Dad, do you know him?" Hao Ren asked.
"Not really. I've met him a few times on other occasions. One time, your mom and I received an award abroad, and he was one of the guests, "Hao Zhonghua said.
"You don't have to be too close to him," Hao Ren tried to persuade him.
With Hao Zhonghua's status, he could definitely get in touch with people like Qin Shaoyang. Conversely, Qin Shaoyang could also get in touch with Hao Zhonghua in some way.
Hao Ren was most worried about Qin Shaoyang getting close to his family!
However, he was determined that if Qin Shaoyang dared to hurt his family, he would kill Qin Shaoyang even if the Dragon God Shrine was behind Qin Shaoyang!
"This man is talented, but we're in different circles." Hao Zhonghua smiled. He had some friends in the Art Circle abroad, but he had no intention of getting to know Qin Shaoyang.
"I've been to his art exhibition once, and some of his oil paintings were quite impressive," Yue Yang said.
"Sister Yue, you like to look at paintings too?" Zhao Hongyu picked up a glass of red wine and asked with a smile.
"Sometimes, I get tickets from my friends and go and look around. Hongyu, you should pay more attention to the arts, right? "Yue Yang tilted her head and asked Yue Yang casually.
Ever since Yue Yang stayed in East Ocean City, the two moms had become closer and closer. They even regretted not meeting each other earlier.
The more they talked, the happier they were. Hao Zhonghua and Zhao Guang also talked about the progress of their business.
Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren looked at each other, and Zhao Yanzi pouted and snorted.
She ran to the fruit area in the center to pick the freshest strawberries.
"Hehehe, Mr. Zhao, the big boss of Mingri Group!" Qin Shaoyang, who had been chatting with the mayor, walked toward Zhao Guang with a smile.
Zhao Guang was a well-known figure in East Ocean City, and Qin Shaoyang was also someone with a certain status. Since Qin Shaoyang was an inspector, Zhao Guang couldn't afford to offend him in public. Therefore, he pretended to be enthusiastic and reached out his hand. "Mr. Qin, I've heard a lot about you!"
"Mr. Zhao, your business is getting bigger and bigger. I haven't had the chance to visit you since I came to East Ocean City!" Qin Shaoyang reached out and shook Zhao Guang's right hand, looking very sincere.
"Oh, you must be the famous Mr. Hao and Mrs. Yue!" Qin Shaoyang exclaimed as he looked at Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang, who were standing beside Zhao Guang.
"Hello." Hao Zhonghua extended his hand.
Standing beside Hao Zhonghua, Hao Ren looked at Qin Shaoyang cautiously.
If Qin Shaoyang did anything to harm Hao Zhonghua, Hao Ren would strike immediately!
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyang only shook hands with Hao Zhonghua casually before letting go immediately. However, Qin Shaoyang noticed Hao Ren's nervousness.
Whoosh! Hao Ren clenched his fists instantly.
From Qin Shaoyang's eyes, Hao Ren clearly saw a threat and a sense of pride!
Boom!
Suddenly, a majestic and sharp aura swept past Hao Ren.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Qin Shaoyang, who had just let go of Hao Zhonghua's hand, suddenly backed up five steps!
Hua …
A crystal champagne tower that was ten meters away from Qin Shaoyang suddenly collapsed and shattered.
Such a turn of events caused everyone in the banquet hall to be in a state of panic.
"It's fine! It's fine! It's just an accident!" The mayor, who was in charge of the banquet, immediately raised his hands and yelled.
As the cleaning staff came in, the banquet hall finally quieted down.
"Mr. Qin, nice to meet you!" Zhao Haoran's cold and deep voice sounded behind Hao Ren.
Hao Ren took a few steps back and gave Zhao Haoran full body space.
Looking at the white-haired Zhao Haoran, Qin Shaoyang suddenly felt an endless chill in his heart.
"Zhao Haoran could have killed me in an instant with that aura!" he thought. Qin Shaoyang's sense of danger as an Inspector allowed him to make the correct judgment.
"Mr. Qin, are you okay?" Hao Zhonghua asked.
"I'm fine … I slipped by accident," Qin Shaoyang said as he picked up a tissue and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He had wanted to take advantage of the banquet to find out more about East Ocean, but he was severely threatened by Zhao Haoran!
If he dared to make a scene at this banquet, the old dragon king would definitely attack him without hesitation!
At this moment, Zhao Yanzi walked around the pool of champagne with a plate of fresh red strawberries in her hands and came to Hao Ren's side.
Qin Shaoyang looked at Zhao Yanzi carefully and almost thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. "How come Zhao Yanzi, who doesn't have a dragon core, suddenly emits the aura of a cultivator!
Moreover, she is at the Foundation Establishment Realm! "
"In just a few days, you opened up 98 openings from 85 openings. Not bad," Zhao Haoran said lightly.
Qin Shaoyang looked at Zhao Yanzi and then at Hao Ren who was beside her. Finally, he realized that Hao Ren opened up 98 openings from 85 openings in his dragon core in just a few days!
Such a horrifying speed of improvement!!!
Hearing Zhao Haoran's words, Zhao Guang also looked at Hao Ren in surprise.
Zhao Haoran had more than 1,000 years of cultivation strength and had reached top-tier Qian-level. It was easy for him to see through Hao Ren's cultivation progress.
He was absolutely right that Hao Ren opened up 98 openings from 85 openings!
"What are 85 and 98 openings?" Yue Yang asked Zhao Hongyu in a low voice.
"It's … a kind of index." Zhao Hongyu didn't know how to explain it.
Yue Yang nodded and didn't continue to ask.
However, Qin Shaoyang who was standing still suddenly understood.
Zhao Haoran valued Hao Ren's potential, so he decided to protect him! The violent aura he released just now was a warning to Qin Shaoyang!
"Hao Ren is from East Ocean, and his family is under the protection of East Ocean. If anyone dares to harm Hao Ren's family, there will only be one result – death! "
Qin Shaoyang took a few steps back quietly and cupped his hands in embarrassment. "I have some friends over there. Excuse me."
He hurried to the corner of the banquet hall, and his footsteps seemed a bit weak.
"Qin Shaoyang is so annoying." Zhao Yanzi mumbled and put the plate in front of Hao Ren. "Here, have some strawberries. I picked them out, and they are all very sweet!"
Hao Ren smiled and picked up a toothpick from the plate to poke at the strawberries.
However, Zhao Yanzi suddenly pulled her hand back. "Haha, I'm kidding. I'm not giving them to you!"
She turned around gracefully and rushed to Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang. "Uncle, Auntie, have some strawberries!"
"Haha, Zi is such a good girl!" Hao Zhonghua reached out and patted Zhao Yanzi's little head happily.
Hao Ren's mouth twitched a little as he held the empty toothpick in his hand, feeling helpless.
Zhao Yanzi took the strawberries to show her respect to the elders. She turned left and right, and her long dress swayed like a little red butterfly. Seeing that all the strawberries on the plate were gone, she ran to the fruit area in the center of the hall.
The more Yue Yang looked at Zhao Yanzi, the more she liked her, and her eyes almost turned into two crescent moons.
"Ren, do you still want to come to my studio to study this weekend?" Zhao Hongyu suddenly asked Hao Ren.
"I'm a bit busy these days …" Hao Ren was about to answer, but Yue Yang suddenly said, "I won't go this weekend. I'm going to ask Zhonghua to take Ren and Zi on an outing."
Hao Zhonghua took a deep breath. Before he could express his opinion, Yue Yang had already said it.
Yue Yang had made it clear that she regarded Zhao Yanzi as her future daughter-in-law, and it was useless for Hao Zhonghua to compete with her.
"Speaking of which, Ren hasn't thanked you for coming to your studio to study," Yue Yang continued.
"It's okay. Ren is very talented, and he will have great achievements in the future," Zhao Hongyu said politely.
"Little Zi is also very good. She is smart and lively …"
The two mothers complimented each other. Hao Zhonghua put on a bitter face and looked at Hao Ren helplessly.
Hao Ren looked into the distance and saw Zhao Yanzi gobbling up the fresh fruits in the fruit area like a tornado, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"This girl only stayed in the Dragon Palace for ten days, and she became like a hungry wolf after coming out. Isn't she afraid that her body will change shape?"
"Where is Congming?" Yue Yang who was chatting with Zhao Hongyu suddenly asked.
"Zhen Congming?" Hao Ren asked in surprise.
"Yeah, your dad went to pick him up from school and brought him here," Yue Yang said.
Hao Ren's sharp eyes scanned around and suddenly found a little girl in a school uniform standing beside the mayor. Beside the little girl was Zhen Congming, who was also in a school uniform.
The little girl was delicate, gentle, and quiet. At such a young age, she already looked like a girl from a respectable family.
"Who is that little girl?" Hao Ren asked Yue Yang immediately.
"Oh, that is the mayor's daughter, Wu Luoxue. She is in the same elementary school as Congming, and they are in the next class. Since your dad is very close to the mayor, he brought her here," Yue Yang looked at the direction Hao Ren was pointing at and answered.
"Ugh …" Hao Ren suddenly felt like something was stuck in his throat.
Zhen Congming was sticking to this little girl, and this little girl kept her distance from Zhen Congming and stood quietly beside her dad, the mayor. It was obvious that Zhen Congming had unrequited love …
"This Wu Luoxue is quiet, but she is actually a Grade 6 Piano Player. She can also play the violin, dance, and draw. She is good at anything," Yue Yang continued.
Hearing this, Hao Ren couldn't help but look at Zhao Yanzi who was walking around in the fruit area. He seemed to see some options hanging above her head: Piano, big cross, violin, big cross, dance, big cross, drawing, big cross, personality … big cross …
Hao Ren looked across the fruit area and saw the Vice Principal of East Ocean University, Lu Qing.
Lu Qing looked around at the door and immediately walked toward Hao Ren. He got close to Zhao Guang and whispered something to him.
