At seven in the evening, the 9th deck of the "Dongfang" dragon boat was transformed into a grand dance party scene.

This segment was not a part of the previous Business Alliance Conference; it was introduced by Dongfang Yu after returning from the West, bringing along some Western customs.

Of course, the purpose of the party is mainly to provide a social venue for the young people. The whole day has basically been occupied by adults in conferences; it's now time for the young ones to relax and connect with each other.

Under the hazy lights, this place is set with rectangular tables covered with white cloth, adorned with a variety of snacks, fruits, and red wine.

To enhance the atmosphere, Dongfang Hui, after obtaining his father's consent, even went to the West at great expense to hire a famous band.

The band set up elegant pianos, saxophones, and other instruments at the northwest corner of the dance venue, playing one classic tune after another.

Slender and graceful female attendants in uniform either stood by waiting for guests' call or moved smoothly among the crowd like butterflies among flowers, serving each guest with a smiling face and utmost professionalism.

Meanwhile, the well-dressed playboys and wealthy ladies arrived on the scene early.

They were eager for this time of free and joyous moments, holding wine glasses, standing in groups of three to five, chatting softly, or pairing up and dancing to the music, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

At first glance, it really has a few touches of a Western high society ball.

As the planner of this dance party, Dongfang Hui was undoubtedly the protagonist tonight!

He wore a black tailcoat, holding a glass of high-quality red wine, surrounded by a group of young masters and noble ladies who had long admired him, giving him a star-like presence.

Dongfang Hui enjoyed all this joyfully while casually glancing toward the entrance through the crowd.

According to his prediction, Nangong Qingcheng and others should be arriving soon, and he was eagerly anticipating Nangong Qingcheng's stunning entrance in the evening gown he had meticulously picked out.

However, to his disappointment, Nangong Qingcheng and her friends did arrive soon, but none of them wore the dresses he had Pan Sheng send over—they were all dressed in their regular clothes like simple shorts and T-shirts.

Dongfang Hui immediately cast a cold gaze towards Pan Sheng, the questioning intent in his eyes clear: Can't even handle such a small matter?!

Pan Sheng was speechless. He hadn't expected the girls to undermine him like this, not wearing any of the precious gowns he personally delivered, leaving him unable to fulfill Young Master Hui's task.

He was furious inside, and had it not been for the inappropriate setting, he would have stormed over to demand why the six ladies wouldn't appreciate the gesture!

Despite their low-key appearance, Nangong Qingcheng and the six ladies couldn't hide their extraordinary beauty.

They were top-tier beauties, with looks, figures, and elegance that were one in a million, overshadowing the meticulously decorated wealthy ladies present with their entrance, leaving them dull in comparison.

The noble ladies naturally filled with deep jealousy and envy in their eyes!

While the young masters present brimmed with intense desire to conquer.

Nangong Qingcheng and the six ladies knew they didn't fit in with the rest, so they moved to a corner to chat amongst themselves, sharing insights from the day.

They never intended to dance with anyone; coming here was purely to relax and enjoy the sea view.

But that didn't mean others didn't want to try their luck with them!

"Hey, what do you think? If I go and invite that voluptuous and charming beauty, will she give me the chance to spend a lovely evening with her?"

A buzz-cut young master with a single earring eagerly said to his companions.

"Why go for the one with the biggest chest? Even though she looks quite charming and mature, she seems like a married woman, not nearly as enticing as the one with the longest legs. Those legs, they're incredibly white and straight!"

Another man stared intensely at Mu Yanluo.

"What's your taste? Ignoring the four graceful girls and choosing mature women and classy types? In my opinion, the shy girl is the most appealing, a pure campus beauty. I can sense the feeling of pure love!"

The third one raised his nose, sniffing in Liu Shiyuan's direction from a distance, as if he could smell her scent from afar.

"Oh, come on, your first night was lost in kindergarten! In my view, the girl with a natural hint of allure is the most exciting, just looking at her makes you want to conquer her!"

The fourth one looked at Zhang Qinyao from afar, gulping.

"You guys are blind; can't you see that the two in the middle are the most beautiful among them? Like the feeling of Xi Shi and Diao Chan..."

Amidst the various discussions, finally, driven by the desire to conquer, someone made the first move toward the six ladies.

He went straight up to Nangong Qingcheng, pretending to be gentlemanly, and extended an invitation: "Beautiful lady, may I have the pleasure of a dance with you?"

"Sorry, we're just chatting," Nangong Qingcheng declined tactfully.

Unwilling to give up, he turned to Chu Feifei and said, "And you, Miss? To be honest, you look a lot like a famous online streamer I adore. Can I invite you for a dance?"

It's understandable he didn't recognize the real Chu Feifei, even if he did, he wouldn't believe it.

After all, the streamer industry is still looked down upon, akin to actresses and entertainers with questionable morals, and those attending here are true wealthy heirs and heiresses, not mixable with streamers, who have no right to be on this boat.

"Not interested," Chu Feifei bluntly refused, without even glancing at him.

After being rejected twice, he could only walk back dejectedly.

Others, despite laughing at him, also approached, hoping for a chance.

Yet, without exception, they were all turned down by the six ladies; even Bai Zhiqing and Mu Yanluo gave no opportunity, leaving everyone quite frustrated.

All of this was seen by Dongfang Hui from afar, making him secretly delighted.

This was exactly the atmosphere he wanted. After all those young masters faced closed doors and stopped bothering, it would be the right time for him to make a move.

In this way, he could further highlight his status and the face of being the protagonist!

As for being rejected...

He never considered it!

Because all his preparations were for tonight!

Starting from letting Pan Sheng send an invitation to Nangong Qingcheng, expressing his "admiration," he had meticulously planned, using various opportunities to leave Nangong Qingcheng with a good impression, building goodwill.

By now, Nangong Qingcheng was already quite grateful to him, owing him many favors.

So, he didn't believe that under such circumstances, she would refuse him!

Everything should naturally fall into place!

However, just as he was indulging in these pleasant fantasies, an obtrusive figure suddenly stepped into the dance venue, making him frown immediately!
