Chapter 775: 304 Zhixia, this is Chairman Liao_4
The ceremony was about to begin when Lai Chen and a few others, holding their wine glasses, came over and raised a toast to Bai Lian and Wen Zhixia, who were a few steps away. Then, he spoke in a low voice to Le Yuzhang, “You’ve made a poor move this time. Just look at your fiancée over there, tsk. It seems like there are more people in the circle standing with miss Ming and miss Xu.”
“It’s not popularity that I want,” Le Yuzhang straightened his collar.
What he valued was Wen Zhixia’s ability to orchestrate business.
Lai Chen shrugged and commented on Wen Zhixia, “A sheltered lady who rarely steps out of her door, how utterly boring.”
The group was in the middle of their conversation.
Suddenly, the Wen Family matriarch, Uncle Wen, and the parents from the Yue Family, together with several important business partners, all headed towards the entrance.
This movement caught the attention of most guests.
Lai Chen was startled, then turned to Le Yuzhang, “Who else is expected to arrive today?”
Le Yuzhang had no idea, his gaze swept the area— all of the main business partners of the Yue Family and Wen Family were there, hosted by his parents and Uncle Wen. Their younger generation was all gathered in this spot.
Aside from them.
Wen Zhiwei and her group were also guessing, “Zhiwei, who has arrived?”
“I don’t know either,” Wen Zhiwei stood up and walked a few steps to the side, following Le Yuzhang and the others.
In the hall, several big shots stood up to greet the guest, prompting others who sat on the sofas to naturally rise.
Only Wen Zhixia and Bai Lian didn’t move.
Wen Zhixia, aware she did not know those people and too lazy to bother, even went to get some desserts for Bai Lian, “Try this, do you like it?”
At the entrance, a middle-aged man appeared at a leisurely pace.
Uncle Wen and President Yue went straight up to welcome him, quite surprised, “President Liao, we didn’t expect you to come.”
Everyone knew that President Liao was to meet with governmental officials at the end of the year, and nobody thought he would show up at an engagement party.
“President Liao is here?” Lai Chen and those around him looked at each other, puzzled.
Le Yuzhang, realizing who it was, readjusted his suit and walked forward.
Wen Zhiwei and the others felt some excitement, “Zhiwei, is that President Liao? He’s actually come?”
The arrival of President Liao caught most people off guard.
The crowd quickly surrounded him, and both acquaintances and strangers alike wanted to get noticed by President Liao. As the leader of the largest business league and a student of President Feng, who is the chairman of the Business Association, President Liao’s connections and resources were unmatched in Jiangjing.
Even Le Yuzhang went to get acquainted with President Liao.
It was a rare opportunity.
Only Bai Lian and Wen Zhixia were still standing still, Wen Zhixia not joining the hubbub.
While Lai Chen was queuing to make an impression with President Liao, he also chatted with Le Yuzhang, “Your fiancée…”
The Wen Family butler, under the instructions of the Wen Family matriarch, came over to speak with Wen Zhixia, “Miss, please go over, let Uncle Wen introduce you to President Liao.”
After finishing her cake, Bai Lian looked up at Wen Zhixia with a lazy expression in her eyes that inadvertently carried a hint of flippancy.
In the crowd, after finally finishing greetings with a bunch of people he barely knew,
Liao Guangxuan broke through the crowd, looking for Bai Lian. Wherever Bai Lian was, she couldn’t be ignored, even if dressed in a simple white dress, her reserved temperament was very apparent, and she stood out at first glance.
Upon spotting her, he smiled, said a word to Uncle Wen, casually picked up a wine glass on his way, and headed straight towards Bai Lian.
“Miss Bai, you’re here too,” he said, as if the approving remark he made last night had not come from him.
Bai Lian placed her plate on the side tray, picked up a glass of wine with smooth actions, raised the glass, and greeted President Liao lazily, “What a coincidence, I am here to attend a good friend’s engagement. Zhixia, this is President Liao.”
