Li Yan 'er's eyes lit up. She asked in surprise, "Who are they? Why does it look so imposing? It's like the stars are surrounding the moon. "
"I don't know." Xu Sheng gave a wry smile. Then he looked at them carefully and said, "Oh, I remember. The man in the middle is called Xiao Bing. He is the king of the underground world in Jiang City. Even the underground world of the three northern provinces follows his command."
Li Yan 'er covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes sparkled. But she noticed that there was a woman next to Xiao Bing. The woman was younger, more beautiful and more noble than her, which made a beauty like Li Yan' er feel inferior. She felt jealous and asked, "Who is that woman?"
Xu Sheng said with a smile, "Xiao Bing only has one woman. She is the patriarch of the Ye family and the chairman of the Ye Group. She is also the host of this banquet, Ye Xiaoxi."
"Oh." She really couldn't compare with Ye Xiaoxi. Li Yan 'er looked at the man on Xiao Bing's right. This man was talking and laughing with Xiao Bing while walking. Behind this man were five cold bodyguards in black shirts and black sunglasses. He was not an ordinary person. Li Yan' er asked, "What about the man on the right?"
"That man …" Xu Sheng was confused. He shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
Not only did he not know him, but all the people present did not know that man. But no one dared to look down on him, because they could feel an innate noble aura from that man. His behavior proved that this man's status was probably very high. Even Xiao Bing was very polite to him.
Everyone gathered around and greeted Xiao Bing and Ye Xiaoxi. These two people were the leaders of the underworld in Jiang City. They dared not offend either of them. They had to flatter them.
Xiao Bing, Ye Xiaoxi, and the man walked to the center of the venue. The noble man turned around and said to the bodyguards behind him in Japanese, "Don't follow me. Wait outside."
"Yes!" The five of them bowed in response and walked out.
Everyone was guessing in their hearts, could it be that this man came from Japan?
Of course, this man was Zhang Qiang. Even if he claimed to be a prince of some country, people would believe him. When they first came here, Xiao Bing felt that Zhang Qiang's acting skills were too good. He was so natural and unrestrained that there was no flaw at all.
Ye Xiaoxi walked to the front of Xiao Bing and Zhang Qiang with a confident smile on her face. She looked at all the guests and said in a decent tone, "On behalf of myself, I'm very happy and honored to have you all here today … The reason why I'm here on behalf of myself is that I'm Ye Xiaoxi, not the owner of the Ye Group. I invited you all here in my personal capacity. The main purpose is that I hope that the business celebrities of Jiang City can have a chance to get together and communicate with each other. So, all of you are my friends. I, Ye Xiaoxi, would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."
The applause was enthusiastic.
Ye Xiaoxi continued with a smile, "As for the man next to me, I think some of you here know him, but some don't … He is my boyfriend and my future husband, Mr. Xiao Bing." The applause was equally enthusiastic.
The applause was equally warm. Some people who did not know Xiao Bing had heard of Xiao Bing's fame. They made up their minds that they would not only build a good relationship with Ye Xiaoxi, but also get to know Xiao Bing better. After all, no one could afford to offend people in the underworld. Moreover, Xiao Bing also had many industries in Jiang City, which were all inherited from Master Hou. So it was not wrong for him to come here today as Ye Xiaoxi's boyfriend or as a business celebrity.
Ye Xiaoxi continued with a smile, "As for the man next to me … He is a personal friend of mine. He is from Jingdu. His name is' Brother Qiang 'Zhang Qiang … Brother Qiang is here to relax. Because our Ye Group has asked Brother Qiang's father for help several times in business, we are more familiar with Brother Qiang. Knowing that he is here, we specially invited him here to relax."
Everyone began to guess which wealthy family in Jingdu had the surname Zhang. Even a giant like the Ye Group had to ask for help. However, after thinking about it carefully, they realized that Jingdu was under the rule of the emperor. There were too many big shots in both the business and political circles. The surname Zhang was a common surname, and there were many people with this surname. They just thought about it casually and thought of a few families with the surname Zhang that they had to look up to in the political and business circles.
Ye Xiaoxi continued to say with a smile, "Brother Qiang's family has a lot of big businesses in Hong Kong, Macao, inland and overseas, and they are slowly handing them over to Brother Qiang to manage. I won't tell you the details. Brother Qiang just told me that this time he is here to relax, and he doesn't want to reveal his identity …"
Ye Xiaoxi looked back at Zhang Qiang and said apologetically, "Brother Qiang, I'm sorry. Just now, I …"
"It's okay." Zhang Qiang seemed to have a good relationship with Ye Xiaoxi. In addition, the Ye family was also a giant, so it was not appropriate for him to say anything. But there was obviously some displeasure between his eyebrows.
Everyone was even more shocked. What kind of existence was the Ye family? The Zhang family was so powerful that even the head of the Ye family had to consider whether he was happy or not. Everyone began to guess which family with the surname Zhang was so powerful in the business circle. After thinking about it carefully, there were indeed two or three families with the surname Zhang … One of them was a giant in the entertainment industry, one was a giant in the manufacturing industry, and the last one was a giant in the emerging industry … The three families all had one thing in common. Some of them might not be headquartered in Jingdu, and some might not be from Jingdu, but they all had a complicated relationship with Jingdu.
The first of the three was a giant in the entertainment industry. Although the total assets of their companies might not be as high as the Ye family's, they had a great influence in Hong Kong and Macao, and even had a relationship with the local government. So it was normal for the Ye family to ask for help.
The second giant in the manufacturing industry was even more impressive. Not only was their company not weaker than the Ye family's, but there were also two big shots in the political arena in Jingdu that came from their family.
The third was a giant in the emerging industry. They could be regarded as one of the top ten super conglomerates in Huaxia …
All three families had the surname Zhang. No matter which one of them, except for the Ye family, was enough to make everyone present look up to them, and Ye Xiaoxi had to be polite to them.
And everyone was almost certain that they could not get away from the three families. Since they were not willing to tell them, they would not ask, lest it would cause displeasure. But they could still make use of this opportunity to build a good relationship with them.
Li Yan 'er glanced at Xu Sheng, who was shocked, and asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"
Xu Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Don't ask if he doesn't want to tell you. People from rich families are usually arrogant. I guess he doesn't care about anyone except the Ye family. They are not at the same level, so he may not be willing to make friends with them."
Li Yan 'er asked in surprise, "So powerful?"
"Well, although I'm not sure which Zhang family it is, it must be one of the three I know … They are all giants at the same level as the Ye family."
Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Li Yan 'er looked at Zhang Qiang's noble and confident face. He was also very handsome, and looked like the idol Wang Xiaoming. Her eyes sparkled, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Zhang Qiang, why didn't you bring a girl with you?"
Zhang Qiang frowned and sighed, "I told you not to mention it …"
"Okay, I won't." Xiao Bing said with a smile, "There are so many beautiful women here. Don't steal my girlfriend when we dance."
Zhang Qiang said with a smile, "You are stingy. Don't worry, I won't."
When they were chatting, they did not deliberately whisper, so everyone could hear them. Suddenly, some people began to get excited. Many of them brought beautiful women with them. Some of them might be their company's secretaries. They could lend them to Zhang Qiang later and take the opportunity to get close to him.
Ye Zi smiled and said, "There are all kinds of pastries, delicacies, and wine around us. Don't stand on ceremony, everyone. Eat whatever you want. Brother Qiang knows that we have a banquet and dance today, so he specially invited China's most famous band, Purple Butterfly, to perform …"
After that, Yezi clapped her hands, and a band emerged from the lift above the high platform. Everyone was in an uproar. This was a top band. Ordinary people could not invite them even if they had the money. There were often some large-scale activities in the country with this band as accompaniment. It seemed that Zhang Qiang must be the successor of one of the three families.
If they were still guessing before, they had basically confirmed it now. Zhang Qiang might be the only one here who was not weaker than the Ye family.
Of course, this band was not invited by them. Bi Tingting had a relationship with this band, so she specially invited them to play this show.
As the music of the band sounded, the lights on the scene were turned on. Some people walked to the venue with their partners, while others walked to the edge of the venue in twos and threes with their partners. They drank red wine and chatted, in order to build a good relationship and take the opportunity to develop their own network. Xiao Bing smiled at Yezi and took her hand to the dance floor. Zhang Qiang walked to the corner alone. A woman who looked good and dressed very sexy and enchanting came over. She reached out her hand and asked in a soft voice, "Brother Qiang, would you like to dance with me?"
Zhang Qiang glanced at the woman coldly and said arrogantly, "Not interested!"
