The banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel was very large and it seemed very relaxed even though it accommodated so many people. There was still some time before the auction started, and most people were standing together in groups of three or five chatting. Some people also took the opportunity to make friends with the powerful.
When he came in, many eyes turned to him. When they saw who he was, most of them showed surprise, and those who reacted quickly came over with wine.
Just as he said hello, a few more people came up, both men and women. The smell of high-end perfume that usually smelled fine to Qin Mingyuan now gave him a headache.
He frowned slightly, took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, endured the discomfort and clinked glasses with theirs, took a small sip, and didn't drink much.
It seemed that they could see that he was not in a good mood, so they asked the assistants around them to deal with some of the questions. Those people did not dare to say much. They just acknowledged his face, chatted for a few words and then left.
It’s just that he is too conspicuous here, both in terms of status and appearance. After one group leaves, there will naturally be another group.
He has very few opportunities to attend such banquets. Even if many people are afraid of his aura that keeps strangers away, they will still come up and chat with him without fear of death.
In addition to some people from the business circle, there were also several artists who came to say hello. One of them was a handsome, gentle young man who was an artist signed by their Qin's entertainment company. The company has been booming in the past two years, and it was only in this kind of occasion that they could meet their boss.
Qin Mingyuan doesn't like attending banquets because he has to deal with this kind of unnecessary social interactions. Sometimes, even if he puts on a cold face, he can't extinguish some people's enthusiasm for getting to know the president of Qin Corporation.
He took a sip of champagne, suppressed the feeling of heat in his body and the throbbing pain in his forehead, and planned to find a corner to relax for a while after dealing with the several business CEOs in front of him.
"By the way, Mr. Qin, it seems that the Yun family is here today as well. I just saw the young master of the Yun family, Yun Yuexian, over there." The wife of one of the CEOs perhaps wanted to make friends with him, so she gave him a special reminder.
The boss beside him seemed to have just remembered this and said, "Yes, I don't know what the Yun family was thinking today. They brought the young master with a disabled leg as well."
After hearing this, Qin Mingyuan finally paid some attention to what they were saying.
Zhou Yang also glanced at him carefully, and seeing his expression, he kept his mouth shut and pretended not to hear.
"You don't understand this," another CEO shook the glass in his hand and said with a smile, "The charity gala is mainly aimed at helping the disabled. Yun Haowei brought his eldest son here, which shows how sincere he is in doing charity. After all, his son has also suffered this kind of hardship."
His tone sounded a bit sarcastic. It took the person next to him touching him before he realized that the big Buddha in front of him actually liked someone else's youngest son. He could only smile awkwardly, took a sip of wine and said nothing more.
Qin Mingyuan's expression did not change. He raised his glass to the others and said, "Excuse me."
Watching him and his assistant gradually walk away, the boss shook his head and said, "What a pity! Qin Mingyuan is clear-headed and decisive in business, but he is a fool when it comes to love. With his status, he can get anyone he wants, but he has to chase after someone who doesn't like him."
Someone nodded in agreement, "I just saw him chatting happily with Young Master Liang. This Young Master of the Yun Family is quite capable, as he can make these two people lose their minds for him."
Qin Mingyuan had no idea what those people were discussing. As he walked away, he handed the champagne to his assistant.
Zhou Yang quickly took it, glanced at his expressionless face, and sensibly turned his eyes to look for the location of the Yun family.
"Mr. Qin, the young master of the Yun family is there..." He was sharp-eyed and saw the very familiar Yun Yuexian from a distance, but his voice was a little stuck when he saw clearly the person standing in front of him.
Qin Mingyuan had already looked in the direction he pointed, and saw several people from the Yun family were together.
Yun Yuexian was talking to Liang Zichen. The two of them were obviously having a great time, with smiles on their faces. Yun Haowei and Huo Lijuan were standing beside them. The four of them looked so harmonious, like a family.
"What a coincidence, Young Master Liang is here too. That's right, they have filmed a movie together before, so they are kind of colleagues." Zhou Yang was scared when he saw his boss staring at that place.
He had already noticed that some people around had noticed them and were looking around covertly, obviously waiting to see the show.
Their boss is sick today and has a bad temper. What if he rushes up to fight when he sees this scene? Should he stop them? Or help them fight? Will he be deducted from his salary if he stops them? But if he helps, the scene will be so chaotic!
Although no one dares to mess with the Qin family in the wealthy circle of City A, the Liang family is not bad either. If they suffer any losses when the time comes, wouldn’t it be the others who take advantage
If I had known earlier, I should have pretended not to see the young master of the Yun family. No, he should have disposed of the invitation letter yesterday and not come to this banquet! This way, he would not have encountered the biggest crisis in his career!
When Zhou Yang was already thinking about the Liang and Qin families clashing over jealousy, and both suffering losses in the end, and both falling out of the business circle and being ignored by everyone, their boss took a step forward.
Although he didn't want to, he still followed with a frown on his face, thinking that it was all over, they were about to face off, and their boss's health condition today would affect his punching speed, he waited... Hey? Did the boss find the wrong person
Zhou Yang was not the only one who had this doubt in his mind. All the guests who were expecting these three gossip protagonists to get together and put on a good show were a little confused.
They watched Qin Mingyuan walk towards where the Yun family was, but he didn't even look at Yun Yuexian and Liang Zichen over there, as if he didn't know them.
He stopped in front of the eldest young master of the Yun family, who was sitting alone in a wheelchair a few steps away from the Yun family. He bent down in front of everyone, put his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, and said, "Why don't you wait for me to come together?"
Those who were waiting to watch the show were stunned and looked a little dazed. Wasn't it said that President Qin liked Yun Yuexian, the young master of the Yun family? Did they make a mistake or did the other party make a mistake
Zhou Yang stopped two steps away from his CEO and opened his mouth wide. His expression looked a little stupid and he was a little confused about the situation.
Why did they come together? And he didn't expect to meet each other here...
Wait, Yun Pei finally came to his senses and turned around to look. Sure enough, many people were looking at them, including the surprised Yun Haowei and Huo Lijuan, and Yun Yuexian with an unhappy expression.
"You..." Yun Pei subconsciously shrank back, but forgot that the armrest of his wheelchair was held by someone, and it was almost motionless. He could only hold the man's arm to signal him to let go, "Qin Mingyuan..."
He never thought that such actions would make others feel that they were more familiar with each other.
“Brother Mingyuan…” Yun Yuexian saw their intimate posture and called him a little aggrieved, as if she was hurt by him.
Liang Zichen turned to look at him, looking a little unhappy.
Yun Yuexian noticed it, quickly put away her expression, reached out and pulled his sleeve, and asked, "Why are you here?"
He noticed from the corner of his eye that the person next to him was slightly relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief but was also a little angry. Did this damn cripple really hook up with Qin Mingyuan? !
"Yes, Mr. Qin, are you familiar with our little Pei?" Yun Haowei came to his senses and spoke quickly, his eyes moving between the two of them.
Huo Lijuan's expression was as ugly as her son's. Thinking of the time when Qin Mingyuan sent the cripple home a long time ago, her face darkened a few shades. She was afraid that things had become complicated since then.
Qin Mingyuan didn't want to pay attention to them. His eyes passed over the red earlobes of the little mimosa, and he felt that his bad mood due to physical discomfort had improved a lot.
Today Yun Pei wore a light blue suit with a tight waist, which made his waist look very thin. The brooch on his chest was the one given by Zeng Lianyi, which suited him very well.
After taking a fresh look at the man, Qin Mingyuan stood up and finally gave the Yun family a look. "Didn't he tell you that we had dinner together several times?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Yun family members had different expressions. Yun Yuexian and her son were of course very unhappy, but Yun Haowei showed a hint of joy.
Before, he had been struggling with how to choose between the two families of Qin and Liang. He was reluctant to let go of either of the two pieces of fat meat in front of him, but he only had one youngest son, Yun Yuexian, so he had to make a choice.
But seeing Qin Mingyuan's attitude towards his eldest son today, he kept having thoughts in his mind. If the other party really fell in love with him, it would be a huge benefit to their Yun family!
He couldn't contain his excitement and wanted to ask for more clarification, but the lights in the conference room suddenly dimmed and the beams of light hit the round stage in the middle of the venue.
The auction is about to begin.
The dispersed guests began to move towards the seats that had been arranged long ago. Everyone's attention was diverted to the auction that was about to begin, and no one paid attention to this side for the time being.
"Let's go sit down too." Huo Lijuan really didn't want to stay here in a bad mood any longer, especially the joy on Yun Haowei's face just now, which made her very annoyed.
"Then let's go, Brother Zichen." Yun Yuexian nodded, as if to prove something, and smiled brightly at Liang Zichen, then remembered something and said dejectedly: "But our seats are not together."
Liang Zichen touched his head and said indifferently: "It's okay, you can sit next to me later."
"Yeah." Yun Yuexian was happy again and her eyes fell towards the man, but the light was too dim and they were a few steps away, so she couldn't see his expression clearly.
Qin Mingyuan likes him so much, how could he fall in love with someone else, especially with this cripple? He must be deliberately trying to piss him off and play hard to get, including blocking him before, which was also a means to attract his attention.
Play this with him and see who gets jealous first. Anyway, he cares about himself more!
He followed Liang Zichen with a happy look on his face, his chin slightly raised as if he didn't take them seriously.
Qin Mingyuan didn't care about what he imagined at all. He just thought that the closer the two male protagonists were to each other, the better, and it would be best if they didn't bother him in the future.
The people around him gradually dispersed, and Yun Pei felt more at ease. He looked up at the man beside him, pursed his lips, and said, "Why did you just... "
Qin Mingyuan bent down and moved closer to her. The other party stopped talking because of his action. He tilted his face to the side, and his voice was a little hoarse because of the cold. "Didn't I tell you that if you want to use me to Qi Yun Yuexian, it's not impossible."
When I came here just now, I saw this little mimosa being ignored by the Yun family. It was left behind alone, with its head slightly lowered. It looked very obedient, but a little lonely.
There was a lively and bustling scene all around him, but it seemed to have nothing to do with him and he looked out of place.
He suddenly... wanted to do something to make everyone's eyes fall on him, and no one would ignore him.
