Urban God-level Youth

Li Mingzhe: "Well then, is Miss Zhao free to hang out tonight?"

Zhao Yuying flatly refused, "Sorry, I don't have time."

Li Mingzhe felt a flicker of anger in his heart. Just an actress, and yet she dared to reject me time and again.

I invited you because I thought highly of you.

However, he didn't show it on his face and still maintained a smile like a gentle spring breeze.

He exchanged a few words with Li Jianjun before returning to his original seat.

Qin Hao asked Li Moying next to him, "What's the background of this Li Mingzhe?"

Li Moying answered, "Beisu the Li Family, Master, have you heard of them? We all come from Beisu the Li Family.

We belong to the main compound of the Li surname, but our branches are different.

Their branch and ours have common ancestors who were brothers, so the relationship isn't very close, which is why we keep more contact."

A young man at the table, curious, asked, "Which branch of Beisu the Li Family are they from?"

Everyone at the table turned to look at Li Moying. They had heard of Beisu the Li Family, who generation after generation engaged in business and was wealthy enough to rival nations.

Li Moying: "They are the direct grandchildren of Li Mingwang."

"Li Mingwang?" Their expressions changed slightly upon hearing this.

The previously inquiring Qian Zhengbai spoke with a solemn face, "So he's the grandson of Mr. Li, the elder and president of the Su Business Chamber of Commerce."

Li Jianjun, smiling, said, "Mr. Qian, your Golden Phoenix Building is spread across the country, and you have quite a lot of business cooperation with Mingzhe."

"You guys go ahead and talk; I'll have a chat with Mingzhe." After saying this, he carried a glass of wine over.

Zhao Yuying was somewhat surprised internally. This person is the son of Golden Phoenix Building?

Golden Phoenix Building, a reputable national heritage brand of jewelry stores, had outlets all over the country.

Almost in every city or town above the county level, one could find a Golden Phoenix Building outlet, some stand-alone, some in collaboration with large shopping centers.

Another person stood up and said, "I heard that Mr. Li, the elder, is fond of antiques and curio toys. I'm also going to chat with Mingzhe about that."

Li Jianjun nodded slighty, "Mr. Zheng, are you perhaps planning to sell some of your family's antique calligraphy and paintings?"

Zheng Jianming laughed sheepishly, "Li, it's just that I sold you a piece of calligraphy and painting, there's no need to keep bringing that up, right?"

Li Jianjun was exasperated, "Damn, you still have the face to say that, what you sold me was a counterfeit."

Zheng Jianming: "Li, it was just ancient mimicry, still antique calligraphy and painting. I never claimed it was the authentic work of the original artists."

After eating, many people started to mingle and network; the older generation had their social circles.

And the younger generation had their own.

Li Moying told Qin Hao, "Master, this is Zheng Jianming. His family deals in antique calligraphy and paintings, and they are very wealthy."

Qin Hao smiled and nodded. If Li Moying said he was very wealthy, then Zheng Jianming's family must really have a lot of money.

Later, Qian Zhengbai and Zheng Jianming came over to talk to Qin Hao, and they exchanged business cards.

Not long after, many people came over and talked with Li Jianjun, Qian Zhengbai, and others, exchanging business cards.

While conversing, Li Jianjun and the others could roughly determine what someone was like and whether they wanted to further the relationship—it was already clear in their minds.

There were also many people looking to network with Qin Hao.

One reason was that Jiangshan Roasted Duck was growing increasingly strong, and the other was Qin Hao's impressive background, which in no way fell short of the Xiao Family, making it worthwhile for many people to come over and network with him.

Zhao Yuying realized here what true status meant.

Although she was a top star with massive popularity, she was nothing in front of these real wealthy businessmen's children.

Because they could afford to hire other top stars, there were plenty of options; she was not the only one.

It was only Qin Hao who occasionally spoke and chatted with her.

Later, Xu Jiekang came over to find Xu Siyao, worried about her health not being fully recovered, so he took her home.

Xu Siyao felt reluctant to leave.

Once Xu Siyao had left, Zhao Yuying asked curiously, "Mr. Qin, Miss Xu seems to like you a lot."

Qin Hao nodded slightly without denying, "Miss Zhao, why did you come tonight?"

"I was invited," Zhao Yuying replied with a smile.

Zhao Yuying hesitated then said, "Mr. Qin, could you give me a ride back when you leave? The company people dropped me off and left."

She understood what her company intended—it had no plans to let her return tonight.

It was very likely they wanted her to spend the evening mingling with some important young master.

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mm, sure."

Zhao Yuying was delighted inside, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Qin Hao replied, "We're neighbors, no need to be so polite."

At this moment, Li Jianjun returned from afar. Along the way, seeing Qin Hao and Zhao Yuying talking and laughing, he sighed inwardly, realizing his chances were slim tonight.

Li Jianjun approached and said, "Qin, my dad mentioned he has something to discuss with you after the banquet."

Qin Hao asked, "What's it about?" Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire

"Business matters."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, while Zhao Yuying was somewhat curious inside—Jinxiu Group wanted to cooperate with him? On what matter?

About half an hour later, the banquet was winding down, with people gradually leaving.

Li Moying said to Qin Hao, "Master, my dad is waiting for you. Go and see him; I'm going to check out the gift you sent me."

Qin Hao said to Zhao Yuying, "Miss Zhao, please wait for a moment."

Zhao Yuying replied, "Sure, I'll wait here for you."

Qin Hao walked over to where Li Xutian was seated, not just with him, but several business magnates as well.

Li Xutian saw him and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Qin, please take a seat."

He was now somewhat regretting going to the school to find Qin Hao; otherwise, they might have a closer relationship now.

Qian Ruisheng and Zheng Wenshan at the table sized up Qin Hao.

Qin Hao sat down, and Li Xutian began to introduce, "This is the general manager of Golden Phoenix Building, Qian Ruisheng, and this is Zheng Wenshan from Rui Xiang Pavilion."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Qin."

Although Qin Hao was young, he had demonstrated significant abilities, which is why they addressed him as Mr. Qin.

Qin Hao: "Mr. Qian, Mr. Zheng, did Mr. Li invite me to discuss cooperation?"

Li Xutian nodded slightly, "I want to introduce Jiangshan Roasted Duck, duck neck, duck wings, duck head, and duck intestines to all Jinxiu Hotels nationwide, so I wanted to talk with Mr. Qin about it."

Li Xutian had done detailed research on the sales of these Jiangshan Roasted Duck and related products, and it was quite astonishing.@@novelbin@@

They completely overshadowed the established roast duck products of Meiwei Group.

If Jinxiu Hotel could introduce these dishes, it would absolutely attract a lot of customers and also put significant pressure on their competitors.

Qin Hao's mind spun quickly, assessing the pros and cons, then he nodded, "We can talk."

Li Xutian was delighted inside; he feared Qin Hao would reject him due to that past incident.

He said, "I will send someone to Mr. Qin's company to discuss the details in the next couple of days."

Just then, exclamations erupted from a table nearby, loud enough to attract attention.

Li Moying, Li Jianjun, Zhao Yuying, Qian Zhengbai, and Zheng Jianming were gathered around the table, looking at a painting.

The exclamation had come from the mouth of Zheng Jianming.

Zheng Wenshan remarked with annoyance, "How old are you? Can't you remain calm in such situations? If this child had even one-tenth of Mr. Qin's composure, I'd be more than satisfied."
