Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Minmin was referring to Liu Yue and the others.

And this left Tao Tian speechless.

It wasn't until Qu Jing, dressed in black stockings and frowning, silently appeared behind Minmin and asked, "What are you doing!?"

Hearing Qu Jing's voice, Minmin was startled, hastily hiding the cherries behind her: "Nothing, nothing?"

Qu Jing, sharp-eyed as ever, immediately noticed Minmin's little gesture and frowned, asking, "What are you hiding?"

Minmin kept saying it was nothing, but Qu Jing directly caught her red-handed.

Then she angrily said, "I told you to come and be a waitress, and you're here eating and taking things?"

"If you want to work, then work; if not, don't embarrass me and Tiantian."

Minmin felt wronged by Qu Jing's scolding and wanted to argue using Liu Yue and the others as an example.

But Qu Jing straightforwardly said, "At least they aren't getting paid."

"You're being paid US$ 500 a day and you want the same treatment as the guests."

"Then what's the difference between you and those women who want to be bitches but set up chastity arches?"

"I, "

Qu Jing's words were a bit harsh, leaving Minmin feeling wronged.

At this moment, Tao Tian said, "Alright, Jingjing, Minmin didn't mean it. Just say a couple of words and let it be. Minmin, you see the cantaloupe over there seems to be finished, go and inform someone to refill it."

Minmin nodded and turned to leave.

Qu Jing watched Minmin's departing figure still feeling unsatisfied, muttering, "I told you, she shouldn't have been brought here, you wouldn't listen. See, her temperament will cause trouble sooner or later!"

Tao Tian could only say, "I'll keep a closer watch."

Qu Jing sighed and said that there was already a shortage of staff, and now you brought this troublemaker along.

"Zhou Yuwen is just too kind. He said it was a business gathering, look at the bunch he invited, really lowers the class of this banquet." Qu Jing was referring to Liu Yue and her group.

Actually, it wasn't just Liu Yue, there were also classmates brought by Zheng Yanyan and her friends. At this time, Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin had already come over early. Zheng Yanyan was wearing a pink sparkly spaghetti strap mermaid dress, and was being praised by a group of girls.

Lu Lin, on the other hand, was wearing a light green mermaid dress. The style of the two dresses was similar, with prices both in the five-figure range.

Zheng Yanyan thoroughly enjoyed being praised, while Lu Lin stood by quietly.

Qu Jing thought Liu Yue and her group were also brought by Zheng Yanyan and her friends.

But Tao Tian informed her that Liu Yue and her group were Zhou Yuwen's classmates, which was different.

"That guy wearing glasses seems to be Zhou Yuwen's counselor. Should have been invited by Zhou Yuwen to attend." Tao Tian said.

"That's the counselor?"

Qu Jing was indeed unaware, a bit surprised, but then she looked down on them: "Really shameless, at their age, still coming over to bask in the glow of students?"

Tao Tian signaled Qu Jing to stop talking nonsense.

At this moment, Jiang Xinyi came over to ask the two for help, so they turned to leave.

Not long after they left, You Changjin came out from behind the ash tree...

By one o'clock, more and more guests were arriving. Luckily, both the first and second floors of the villa had been converted to reception areas. There was a special barbecue chef at the back of the yard, and roast duck and steak were available on the first floor.

Many guests praised these arrangements.

Some even said that they thought the young man was a pauper pretending to be rich and would make a fool of himself, but unexpectedly the banquet was so well-arranged.

"That's because he has help from influential friends."

"Help from influential friends?"

"What, you didn't know?"

Those attending the banquet more or less felt that Zhou Yuwen was Liu Jing's prospective son-in-law.

Liu Jing had almost finished greeting her guests, so she no longer stood at the door.

Su Qing and Shen Yu arrived a little later and met Lu Wanting and Peng Xiaoyong, who had just arrived at the front of the building.

"Su Qing?"

"Sister Wanting!"

Su Qing was very happy to see Lu Wanting and greeted her, then introduced her to Shen Yu, saying, "This is Zhou Yuwen's cousin and cousin-in-law."

"Sister Wanting studied abroad!" Su Qing said admiringly.

Lu Wanting awkwardly said no.

Then she couldn't help but pull Su Qing aside and tell her that she had already explained everything to Zhou Yuwen.

"He knows I'm not really his cousin-in-law." Lu Wanting said quietly.

"Ah, really?"

Shortly after Lu Wanting arrived, another Alphard stopped at the entrance, and Zhu Hong, dressed in formal wear, got out of the car. Seeing Zhu Hong, Lu Wanting hastily greeted her respectfully as Ms. Zhu.

But Zhu Hong just nodded with a smile.

She is now the acting president of Meituan in Jinling, with a lot of authority. Usually, Zhu Hong's attire is somewhat business-like. For this gathering, she dressed up slightly, and indeed, she seemed a bit different.

Zhu Hong asked Lu Wanting if Zhou Yuwen had arrived.

"Uh," Lu Wanting was also recently arrived and wasn't sure.

It was Su Qing who said, "He'll be a little later. Do you have any business with him? I can help you get in touch."

Zhu Hong glanced at Su Qing and saw that this girl was not only beautiful but also articulate, making her smile and think that Zhou Yuwen really was lucky with women. "No need to rush, the main character always comes out last. This is a housewarming gift I prepared for Mr. Zhou. You take it, should be appropriate, right?"

Zhu Hong handed over a thick stack of red envelopes.

Zhou Yuwen hadn't planned on receiving gifts, but because there were so many attendees, some guests didn't know about the no-gifts policy, while others were very courteous, like the group invited by Liu Jing, all prepared red envelopes or gifts.

Zhu Hong, who wanted to build a good relationship with Zhou Yuwen, naturally also had to prepare red envelopes.

But this red envelope left Su Qing feeling flattered. After a moment's hesitation, she calmed down and accepted the envelope with a smile, saying, "Thank you, um, and you are?"

"Well, let's just say a friend. Tell him it's Zhu Hong, he'll know." Zhu Hong smiled lightly and went into the villa.

Zhu Hong's presence was overwhelming, and both Su Qing and Shen Yu could tell this woman was not ordinary.

Lu Wanting asked, "Are you curious about who she is?"

"You know?" Su Qing was curious.

Lu Wanting replied, "She's my boss, the president of Meituan's Southeast District, a rare female powerhouse, isn't her presence different?"

"She's the president of Meituan's Southeast District?" Shen Yu was surprised to hear this.

"Yes." Although Lu Wanting didn't know Shen Yu, she responded.

Shen Yu was contemplative as she watched Zhu Hong go inside.

Not long after Zhu Hong went in, several business cars came, dropping people off and leaving again.

Lu Wanting then made several introductions.

For example, this one is the president of Ele.me.

This one is a shareholder of Tianhui Planning, Gao Peter.

"He's also Xiao Yong's boss." Lu Wanting said, glancing at Peng Xiaoyong beside her with a smile.

Peng Xiaoyong followed behind Lu Wanting, not saying a word, but listening to the names she mentioned, he genuinely wondered, was his uncle's network really that amazing? How did his cousin get this influential in Jinling in less than a year?

It wasn't just these people, inside the villa, those well-dressed individuals, Lu Wanting recognized two of them, they were veterans of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing one familiar face after another, Lu Wanting was taken aback. She thought she only knew a few people connected to Zhou Yuwen but didn't expect so many reputable and influential people to come?

These people could be even more formidable than Zhu Hong and the others.

Not only was Lu Wanting surprised, Zhu Hong also hesitated when she saw these people after entering the villa. She internally regretted it, thinking that only giving a red envelope seemed too little; she should have prepared more significant gifts.

Su Qing knew that Zhou Yuwen was capable, so she was only slightly surprised when she heard Lu Wanting mention these people.

But in Shen Yu's heart, it really caused a huge stir.

Soon after Lu Wanting and Su Qing went inside.

Another black business car pulled up in front of the door.

A woman stepped out from it.
