Chapter 1796: Chapter 1014: Heavenly People Organization_2
Although Tao Yu didn’t use the psychic abilities of a fantasist here, the spiritual energy itself carried a strong mind-reading attribute. Combined with the experience of a fantasist, when Tao Yu got out of the car in the hotel’s underground parking lot, he could sense that many people nearby actually had similar ideas in their plans.
They wanted to use the twenty-thousand-dollar ticket as a stepping stone to meet some figures in the financial world, or even to meet Wang Liumei herself.
Some even fantasized about a fifteen-year-old Wang Liumei falling in love with them, thus turning into a Phoenix.
“Thankfully, they’re not all like that, but I haven’t found any other members of the Heavenly People Organization, so it’s just an ordinary charity gala.”
There’s no need to say much about Tao Yu’s appearance, and his attire with sunglasses and a trench coat also drew quite a few glances.
The charity gala mainly involved an auction, and though there was no dress code, the overall attire was mostly formal, except for a few mavericks who were actually quite powerful.
Wang Liumei, as the host of the event, didn’t make a grand entrance but was present from the beginning, greeting guests at the venue.
With twin ponytails and dressed in a cheongsam, Wang Liumei was the focus of the venue. Her sweet face, enchanting figure complemented by the fitted cheongsam, and her inherent charm, despite her young age, outshone several noblewomen present.
Accompanied by her bodyguard Red Dragon with a stern face, she navigated the crowd like a social butterfly.
Even those who simply paid to enter with a ticket could exchange a smile and a few words with her, and she could subtly disentangle herself using the excuse of greeting other guests.
For a fifteen-year-old girl, this was truly a perfect facade.
But Tao Yu could also see the immense pressure beneath her smiling face, even some mental distortion…
“Makes sense, it’s strange if a normal person doesn’t distort under such pressure so young.”
After meeting her in person, Tao Yu also made an assessment of her in his mind.
Thus, some of her actions seemed reasonable.
She might not care about money, interests, or power, she just wanted to see the world change, or even break apart…
…
“Ah, Mr. Xiao, you’re joking. I’m still young and haven’t thought about such things yet.”
In front of a greasy middle-aged man, Wang Liumei smiled charmingly, not bothered at all by his predatory stare.
“Haha, Miss Wang is no ordinary person; there are some things you need to consider early, whether it’s for the family or yourself, you must be careful in choosing a future partner.”
The greasy middle-aged man was dressed in a suit, holding a wine glass, his face full of smiles, while Red Dragon behind Wang Liumei’s expression was already somewhat cold.
However, he seemed to blend into the background, as neither this Mr. Xiao nor Wang Liumei paid attention to his demeanor.
But Tao Yu could sense the suffering and conflict in the mind of this eldest son of the Wang family.
Because he shirked his responsibility, all the pressure fell on Wang Liumei. Even though he became her bodyguard to protect his sister, it was painful to see her have to navigate among these sleazy people for the sake of the family.
He even had thoughts of killing that greasy man.
At this moment, Tao Yu quickly squeezed in, taking out his invitation and even a specially printed donation receipt, presenting it to Wang Liumei.
“Miss Wang, nice to meet you, I’m Huang Tao, who donated twenty-five thousand dollars, twenty-five thousand.”
Tao Yu pointed to the extra five thousand on the receipt, almost rubbing it against Wang Liumei’s face.
Yet, even confronted with Tao Yu’s rudeness, Wang Liumei remained charming and did not get angry. Instead, she graciously extended her hand to Tao Yu.
“Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your contribution to the charity.”
The soft, delicate hand shook Tao Yu’s for a moment before letting go appropriately.
Tao Yu’s handsome appearance and slender, youthful build made Mr. Xiao nearby somewhat displeased and jealous. Where did this little Karami come from?
But Wang Liumei deftly used Tao Yu’s appearance to say to this Mr. Xiao,
“Sorry, Mr. Xiao, but I have other guests to attend to as the host, so I can’t keep you company long.”
“Alright, but please consider my proposal, Miss Wang.”
“I will.”
Then Mr. Xiao, holding his wine glass, moved towards another noblewoman.
Tao Yu shrugged and formally introduced himself to Wang Liumei again,
“Huang Tao, a stock market enthusiast, I might have offended Mr. Xiao earlier.”
“Oh? Do you know him?”
Wang Liumei lightly giggled, her eyes forming crescents.
“A big shot in the pharmaceutical industry, doesn’t appear in the news much, but I’ve bought shares in his company and suffered a lot from it.”
Tao Yu said casually, steering the conversation.
If he were just a random person unexpectedly helping out, it might not mean much to Wang Liumei.
But recognizing the identity and understanding the situation before stepping in to help was different.
With his attractive demeanor, even if Wang Liumei wasn’t superficial, she’d naturally have a bit more goodwill.
“Then I must thank Mr. Huang. He’s been pestering me a lot.”
“Of course, I’ve heard about his scandals, truly disgraceful.”
“Hee hee, in light of Mr. Huang’s help, I can grant you a small request. Do you have anything in mind for your visit this time?”
