The start of the charity event had Lin Fei dressed in formal attire, a suit and tie, even a red tie, exuding a gentleman's demeanor, but it was undeniably uncomfortable.

"Do I have to dress like this?"

Lin Fei didn't like it, but under Mu Shanshan's pressure, he reluctantly wore it.

In contrast, Mu Shanshan saw Lin Fei in a suit, tie, and leather shoes, exuding an inexplicable masculine charm.

"Of course you have to dress properly for the event. Don't take it off." Mu Shanshan said sternly.

And so, Lin Fei followed Mu Shanshan to the charity event's location.

The venue for the charity event in Zhonghai was held at the newly built Zhonghai Hotel, and this charity event could be described as a grand feast!

The entire Zhonghai, even upper-class people from other places, gathered at Zhonghai Hotel. Many media outlets were also waiting to document this charity gala.

When Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan arrived at Zhonghai Hotel, it was already packed, but luckily, they had a special passage for the upper class to directly enter the interior of Zhonghai Hotel.

Upon entering Zhonghai Hotel, a red carpet guided the guests, and Lin Fei extended his arm, while Mu Shanshan placed her hand on it, and together they entered the hotel center.

At this moment, the hotel center had a massive stage, and around the stage, there were banqueting tables and chairs, only now crowded with men in suits mingling with fashionably dressed and beautiful women.

Many of them knew each other. Even those who didn't would exchange a few words, as this was the best time to form connections.

As Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan entered, many people's eyes were drawn to them, more curious about Lin Fei.

Mu Shanshan, naturally beautiful, wore a light gold evening gown today, and the golden trim further accentuated her noble aura. At this moment, Mu Shanshan seemed like a fairy descending from heaven, with everyone's gaze following her movement.

Mu Shanshan's reputation was well-known here, as a young woman supporting a group, managing it orderly, and continuously expanding the market.

Besides, hardly anyone was aware of Mu Shanshan's marital status, not knowing Lin Fei was her husband. Therefore, many young men had intentions toward Mu Shanshan, and many came especially because of her fame.

Seeing Mu Shanshan entering the venue accompanied by a man, the crowd's curiosity towards Lin Fei surpassed their attention to Mu Shanshan. Many men pursuing Mu Shanshan felt even more hostile towards Lin Fei.

"President Mu."

A voice rang out, and Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei looked towards the source to see it was Leader Gu Lanzi.

Gu Lanzi, dressed in a black gown today, although over thirty, appeared like a twenty-something girl in the black dress.

"Leader, just call me Shanshan. Long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Mu Shanshan asked. Small talk was certainly no challenge for her.

Gu Lanzi nodded with a smile and said, "I've been okay, but there's one thing that bothers me."

"Oh?"

Mu Shanshan feigned surprise and said, "What could possibly trouble the leader?"

Gu Lanzi glanced at Lin Fei, then smiled, "It's not a big deal, just that someone promised to accompany me to this banquet but ended up backing out."

Mu Shanshan laughed, "That's really unfortunate, I wonder who that person is, bold enough to not honor a leader like you. I'd love to see who that is."

Lin Fei was startled, constantly winking at Gu Lanzi, who continued to smile and said, "Never mind, it's a happy day today, let's not talk about these concerns. Oh, you should go inside, there's a big figure arriving today."

"A big figure? Who is it?" Mu Shanshan asked.

"A government official, apparently coming with his fiancée to attend our Zhonghai charity banquet," Gu Lanzi said.

"What's the government official's name?" Lin Fei asked.

"Wu Yufeng."

Lin Fei was taken aback.

He didn't expect to meet Wu Yufeng again so soon, and he puzzled over why Wu Yufeng would attend the charity banquet. Perhaps just to promote his reputation? Lin Fei couldn't help but wonder.

Just then, a server hurriedly approached from outside and whispered something to Gu Lanzi. Gu Lanzi said to Mu Shanshan, "Shanshan, shall we go to greet Colonel Wu?"

"Lin Fei, are you coming?" Mu Shanshan asked.

"I'll pass, you go ahead," Lin Fei replied.

Joking aside, a boss going to greet his subordinate? That's ridiculous. Lin Fei wasn't going.

"Then I won't go either. I have some seniors to catch up with," Mu Shanshan said.

She recalled the subordinate Lin Fei had faced in the main city was also named Wu Yufeng, likely the same person.

Since neither Lin Fei nor Mu Shanshan was going, Gu Lanzi had to go alone. Shortly, Wu Yufeng, clad in a military uniform, walked in along the red carpet, drawing everyone's gaze.

Beside him was a beautiful woman in a white dress, Wu Yufeng's fiancée, Li Xiyu.

"So this is Colonel Wu Yufeng! He's really young. I heard that his fiancée beside him was set in a childhood betrothal, really beautiful."

Even in high society, there were people who loved gossip.

However, the speaker soon faced disdain, as someone said, "What do you mean by 'I heard,' you're young and don't understand the insiders; Wu Yufeng and his fiancée Li Xiyu indeed were betrothed as children."

At this moment, Wu Yufeng was cautiously surveying the crowd, looking for Lin Fei since he heard that many business figures would attend this charity event, and as the president of Mu Group, Mu Shanshan would surely be here, making it impossible for Lin Fei not to attend.

Finally, his efforts paid off, and he spotted Lin Fei, but he pretended not to see him and walked straight into the crowd. Wu Yufeng feared that if he recognized Lin Fei and as a subordinate got embarrassed in front of everyone again, he'd have no face to continue his social endeavors.

After all, attending this charity event was to build a better reputation, killing Lin Fei wasn't part of the plan.

Lin Fei also noticed Wu Yufeng recognizing him, but he didn't approach. Since Wu Yufeng didn't provoke him, Lin Fei also didn't want to approach, worried his identity might be exposed, creating trouble.
