CHAPTER 30: REVISED: CHAPTER 30 THE ARROGANT LONG ZIXIANG
The guests in the banquet hall were instantly drawn over.
Although it was supposed to be a class reunion today, most people came for Long Zixiang.
As the second young master of the number one wealthy family in Yun City, he controls enormous wealth. Even a small favor from him could make many people rich overnight.
"Second Young Master Long, I’m Lu Dahu from Feiyue Technology. I’ve heard that Star Group is interested in cooperating with the Long Family. Here’s my business card. If there’s a chance, we would be willing to assist the Long Family."
"I’m Li Xinglong from Xinglong Real Estate. Today, being able to witness the elegance of Second Young Master Long, it’s truly an honor of a lifetime."
"Here’s a small token of appreciation prepared by me, Second Young Master Long. I hope you can accept it as a modest gift."
The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became lively.
Many fangirls frantically rushed towards Long Zixiang. If it weren’t for the bodyguards blocking them, they might have pounced on him on the spot.
Long Zixiang looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, dressed in a well-fitted luxurious suit. His skin was fair, and he had a gentle and refined smile that perfectly fit the standard of an idol.
Ye Guichen didn’t expect even a small second young master of the Long Family to be this popular. He muttered a sentence to himself: "Quite the actor, huh."
Chen Ziran glanced at Ye Guichen: "An actor? Ye Guichen, you probably don’t know how impressive Long Zixiang is, do you? As the second young master of the Long Family, he spent three years abroad. When he returned at nineteen, he started his own business without using a penny from his family, and within just three years, he built a fortune worth billions. Now, Long Family being able to cooperate with Star Group, it must be thanks to Long Zixiang too."
"Oh? From what you’re saying, you seem to admire Long Zixiang?" Ye Guichen asked with interest.
"Hmph!" Chen Ziran snorted coldly, a flash of disdain in her eyes: "Even though his business talent is exceptional, his personal conduct is terrible. The number of girls he has harmed is countless. If it weren’t for wanting to cooperate with the Long Family, I wouldn’t have come today."
"Haha." Ye Guichen laughed to himself.
Chen Ziran frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
"Me..." Ye Guichen said meaningfully: "Seeing Long Zixiang this smug, I just feel that their cooperation with Star Group is probably doomed."
"Doomed?" Chen Ziran couldn’t believe it; she gave Ye Guichen a side glance: "Star Group is such a big company, probably only the Long Family could catch their eye. If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense."
"Just wait and see."
For some reason, when Chen Ziran looked at Ye Guichen, she felt a sense of profoundness.
"What am I thinking? A guy who came down from a mountain, how profound could he be?" Chen Ziran shook her head and laughed at herself.
After the bodyguards around Long Zixiang had driven away the surrounding people, Chen Ziran finally managed to squeeze in front of him.
"Second Young Master Long, I’m Chen Ziran from Chen Group. Here’s my business card." Chen Ziran smiled as she handed her business card to Long Zixiang.
Long Zixiang took it casually, glancing at Chen Ziran arrogantly.
Initially, Long Zixiang thought that Chen Ziran was just like the many other girls pursuing him, relying on her looks to seduce him with no substance.
But suddenly, Long Zixiang’s gaze fell on the Star of Love on Chen Ziran’s chest.
"Is this the Star of Love?" Long Zixiang was somewhat surprised.
Long Zixiang had heard about the Star of Love long ago and always wanted to own it.
Especially with this imminent cooperation with Star Group, Long Zixiang was determined to succeed.
Although he had never met the person in charge of Star Group in Yun City, Long Zixiang had already found out that she was a woman with an excellent figure and appearance.
If he could woo such a woman, the Long Family would then latch onto Star Group, and reaching global heights would be within reach.
So, these past few days, Long Zixiang had been exhausting his mind on how to win the favor of Star Group’s head.
Seeing the Star of Love on Chen Ziran’s neck, Long Zixiang’s eyes immediately sparkled.
If he could get the Star of Love and give it to Star Group’s in charge, not only would the symbolism be excellent, but what beauty wouldn’t love such luxury?
It was as if heaven was helping him.
Although Chen Ziran was somewhat displeased with Long Zixiang’s arrogance, she needed his help. She lowered her head instinctively when he inquired.
Since her attention had been diverted earlier, Chen Ziran hadn’t had time to remove the Star of Love.
"Uh, it probably is." Chen Ziran answered honestly.
"Haha, the Star of Love, Star Group, truly a match made in heaven." Getting a confirmed answer, Long Zixiang laughed out loud, looking at Chen Ziran without hiding it. After seeing her appearance, he squinted: "Chen Group, right? It seems you are quite sincere. In that case, we can go to a room and discuss business properly."
As he spoke, Long Zixiang revealed a lewd smile.
At the same time, Long Zixiang noticed Su Wen standing behind Chen Ziran and said loudly: "Young Master Su is also here, huh? Then please arrange a presidential suite for me, I want to discuss business with Miss Ziran properly."
Upon hearing this, the others hoping to get a piece of the action from the Long Family showed disappointment.
They couldn’t fail to understand that Long Zixiang intended to use the pretense of booking a room to finalize their collaboration with Chen Ziran.
They had seen such things many times. Many women had sold their bodies to talk business with Long Zixiang.
"Alas, looks like we came here for nothing today."
"Isn’t that so, blame yourself for not being as pretty as others."
"You don’t get it. Being noticed by Second Young Master Long is her blessing."
Low murmurs spread among the crowd.
Su Wen, however, wore an embarrassed face looking at Ye Guichen. Seeing Ye Guichen silent, he bravely said to Long Zixiang: "Second Young Master Long, I’m really sorry, but our presidential suites are already fully booked."
Although the Su Family could be considered part of Yun City’s elite, they were small potatoes compared to the Long Family.
But now, even if he had the courage of eight men, he wouldn’t dare truly offer Long Zixiang a presidential suite.
If Ye Guichen blamed him, the Su Family would be doomed.
"Fully booked?" Long Zixiang didn’t expect Su Wen to refuse, his face darkened, and his tone became harsh: "Su Wen, if I, Long Zixiang, want a room, make sure there’s a room available even if it’s fully booked."
