183: Very Busy

Mother Zheng wrote all the names on the guest lists neatly on the invitation cards. Her writing was very beautiful, but not too casual or free. She sent it over after writing.

Shenghui Group was one of the leaders in the pharmaceutical industry. Naturally, among the guests invited by Mother Zheng was a member of the Shenghui Group. The invitation card was then delivered to Chairman Yu.

Earlier, it was rumored that the Zhou family would hold a banquet, so the Zhou family and Zheng family were bombs tied to a rope. They would be very respected if they attended such a high-level banquet, so many people were waiting for the Zhou family to send them invitations. Chairman Yu was one of them.

The Shenghui Group was not the same as the Zhou Group. Although they were both leaders in the business world, they were not like the Zhou Family who could climb the Zheng family and become relatives with the Zheng family. Even if they had met some senior officials, it was purely of interest. So, attending the Zhou family banquet meant meeting more powerful people.

"Dad, can you let Ning’an also follow us to the banquet?"

Yu Jing heard her father talk about how good it was to be able to attend a banquet hosted by the Zhou family, and immediately thought of Wang Ning’an. If she could take him there, would he agree to associate with herself?

However, Yu Hongming did not respond to her as usual. "The people who are going to the banquet this time are big figures in the Imperial Capital, with heads and faces. Wang NIng’an is not very qualified. Besides, he has not promised to associate with you so far. Do you still want to use this as a condition just to let him promise to associate with you?"

Yu Jing gritted her teeth. "But I just like him."

"Sister, I don't think you should chase Wang Ning'an at all. He must be looking at your shares, too, and just wants to take advantage of you. I advise you not to believe him." Yu Hongzhi came from behind her. When he heard they were talking about Wang Ning’an, he sneered.

He was Yu Jing's younger brother. The two were only one year apart. He had already entered the Shenghui Group to work before graduating from university. It was no surprise that the Shenghui Group would be inherited by him. However, he did not like Wang Ningan and always felt that he had a hidden purpose. Sometimes, in the company, he would fight with Wang Ning'an.

"Ning’an is not like what you think." Yu Jing frowned, disliking that her brother always spoke ill of Wang Ning'an.

Yu Hongzhi knew she would say so, and shrugged: "If you don't believe it, let’s make a bet."

"What bet?"

"Just do what you thought of before. Call him later and tell him that we received an invitation from the Zhou family. You can take him there, but only as your boyfriend. Why hasn't he promised to associate with you? In fact, it is just a lack of opportunity for him to step down. If you say that, he will probably promise to go to the banquet and have the opportunity to get the 5% shares. This kind of good thing only needs little sense to agree." Yu Hongzhi said with confidence.

Yu Jing hesitated.

"Aren't you confident? Give up if you are not confident, Wang Ning'an is not for you." Yu Hongzhi intentionally provoked her.

"I’ll bet." Yu Jing couldn't resist the provocation. She also wanted to prove to her brother that Wang Ning'an was definitely not the kind of person he said.

Yu Hongming did not stop the sister and brother from making a bet. Although he acknowledged Wang Ning'an's talents, Wang Ning’an still had some problems. If he could really withhold from such a huge temptation, he would agree with the two being together.

Wang Ning'an received her call, unsurprised. On the contrary, he was very busy and didn't want to talk about personal matters during working hours, so he let her speak quickly.

"It’s like th..." Yu Jing gave him the rhetoric, as her brother had said.

After hearing this, Wang Ning'an frowned and rejected it without hesitation: "Yu Jing, do you think I am such a superficial person in your heart? Just because it is really good to be able to attend the banquet hosted by the Zhou family, then I will promise to associate with you? Sorry, I don't want you to regard my feelings as a trifling matter. If that's all you wanted to say, then I’m hanging up."

"Wait a minute ..." Before Yu Jing finished, there was a beeping sound on the other end of the phone. She put her phone in hate and stared at Yu Hongzhi. "What else do you have to say now?"

Yu Hongzhi smiled awkwardly. However, in his heart, he was a little dazed, thinking, how could Wang Ning'an refuse so straightforwardly? He shouldn't have read him wrong, didn’t he want to climb up the Yu family? However, after rejecting this great opportunity, it would not be there in the future.

No matter what, he wouldn’t let Wang Ning'an succeed. No matter what his purpose was, even if it was not for his sister's 5% share, he would not let Shenghui Group's 5% share fall to the hands of an outsider.

Yu Hongzhi just didn't understand. His elder sister was not a man and would marry in the future. As the saying went, a married daughter was like poured water. Why couldn’t his father think the same, instead of promising to give his sister a 5% share.

Shenghui Group Office

After Wang Ning'an hung up on Yu Jing, he remembered the phone call from his brother a few minutes ago. His mouth was slightly bent. He had heard about the Zhou family banquet, but the identity gap was too big. Even if he could attend, the benefits of this kind of banquet were so great that he never thought that he could really attend it. It was even more unexpected that his brother turned into the heir of the Zhou family in an instant.

Wang Ning'an stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at the daytime city, narrowing his eyes.

He didn't know that Yu Jing's call was instigated by Yu Hongzhi. Even if he knew, even if his brother hadn't called him, his answer wouldn't change.

After Wang Cheng called his elder brother, he made another call. Tong Yangyang was in Shanhai City. Although they were in contact, he still didn’t know what happened to him until now. He reduced what happened during this time to a brief summary. Tong Yangyang didn't ask too much, just sighed. What dog blood. He heard that he would have a birthday party, and that this was his real birthdate. The little fat man from his past did not even ask, and agreed.

"It happens to be on Sunday. You don't need to take too many days off. After you come, Huang Tong’an and I will take you to have a good time."

Tong Yangyang was moved when he heard this. "Will the travel expenses be reimbursed?"

"Of course. It’s not just travel, I'll reimburse you for the cost of playing." Wang Cheng said arrogantly.

Tong Yangyang lamented, "This man has money, so his confidence has changed." At one point, Wang Cheng couldn't even get the money to buy clothes for himself.

"You must have the confidence to spend the money you earn." Others may think that Wang Cheng was in the Zhou family now and had money to spend, but Wang Cheng did not intend to spend the Zhou money since the beginning. Although his own jam factory did not make as much as others, the money made was enough to spend on his own.

The two talked for a while, then Wang Cheng hung up and called Huang Tong’an.

Huang Tong'an was now taken to the company to be enslaved by his dad during the day. Regardless of his young age, he was now the company's department manager, which was inseparable from his father’s doing, but he still worked hard.

As soon as he entered the conference room, he heard several elders standing and talking together. The content was mainly about the Zhou family, and the words faintly included the Zheng family. When they saw him coming, the elders stopped. After discussing, Huang Tong’an's second uncle Huang Guanjun showed a smile on his face.

"It's Tong’an. Where is your father?"

"My father is talking on the phone outside, he will come later." Huang Tong'an also showed a perfunctory smile. Although these people were all his relatives, and they were all in the same company, who knew their hearts? They were only pretending to have a good relationship with him. Huang Tong’an was not willing to come to the company for this reason.

After a while, Huang Tong’an's father, Huang Guanting, came. The group of people sat in the meeting room for a regular shareholder meeting. When the meeting was about to end, Huang Guanjun suddenly brought up the Zhou family banquet.

"Tong'an, I heard that you have gotten close to a group of rich second generations. Then, there should be a way to get an invitation to the Zhou family banquet, no?"

This was a bit shameless to say. Huang Tong'an was associated with a group of rich second generations, but most of those rich second generations were people who were comparable to his family background. How could a true first-class family member deal with them? Even if they did, how could an invitation card of the Zhou family banquet be available to a junior? Huang Guanjun did not think that Huang Tong’an could get it. He just wanted to use this matter to open up Huang Tong’an!

The Huang Group was left by Huang Tong’an’s grandfather. Among the four brothers in the Huang family, only Huang Tong’an’s father had the most outstanding ability, not only eating and waiting to die. So, his grandpa handed the company to his father. In addition to leaving a few properties for a few uncles, some company shares were also in their hands. However, each person only had 2%. Several uncles were unreconciled. However, when his grandpa was living, they could only accept it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t get even a single penny. After the death of his grandpa, his uncles started to change their ways and make trouble with them.

Before Huang Tong'an spoke, his third uncle Huang Guanbo said, "Who are you kidding, second brother? What is the identity of the Zhou family? To put it better, Tong’an's identity sounds like the son of the Huang Group, but in the eyes of the Zhou family, may not even be a fart. For him to have the ability to get an invitation from the Zhou family? This kind of joke should not be said in the future."

"Yes, yes, I really should not forget that Tong’an's identity is too low, and can’t even hook the threshold of the Zhou family.” Huang Guanjun immediately admitted with a smile.

Huang Guanting's face sank. When he was about to yell at them, a ringtone suddenly sounded, and everyone turned around to see Huang Tong’an pull out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket.
