Chapter 217: Scheme

Everyone in the group was distinguished individuals. Their eyes glimmered and they had an air of pride emanating from their bodies. Although they had smiles on their faces, they left everyone’s heart thumping in excitement. No ordinary person could compare to the kind of aura they possessed.

“That’s Tai Shan, the editor-in-chief of QQ Music!”

“Oh f*ck! Even the tycoons from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are here? That’s Master Long, the Shoe King!”

“It not just Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The rich guys from Zhuhai and Guangzhou are here too.”

“They went to great lengths this time around. I never knew that all those stars would be here.”

“It probably won’t be too shabby. Even if some of them aren’t first-rank stars, they’d at least be second-rank ones.”

Discussions were aplenty and they attracted everyone’s attention. Naturally, the focus was no longer on Ye Lingchen. After all, the importance of both sides was not something that could be compared to. As angry as Wu Junjie was, he was afraid to vent it all out in front of all those influential figures.

“Damn you, you little brat! I’ll deal with you when the catwalk ends!” The sullen Wu Junjie squeezed out a few words, scowled at Ye Lingchen, then walked away.

The rest looked at Ye Lingchen with a half-smile before following suit.

Ye Lingchen was nothing but a joke in their eyes. It was nice to watch some drama and they treated it as though they were relieving their boredom. As for his downfall, hehe, best of luck to him then, because no one could care less about him.

“You’re done!” He Yuan reveled in the delight at Ye Lingchen’s misfortune. He gleefully looked at Ye Lingchen before trotting over to catch up with Young Master Wu. His expression turned into a subservient one in an instant.

“Student Ye, you’re not afraid of Wu Junjie?” Xu Wanqing looked at Ye Lingchen with surprise. Throughout the entire episode, she never sensed any panic coming from Ye Lingchen.

There were only two possibilities—one was ignorant fearlessness, and the other was that he did not take Wu Junjie seriously at all.

Ye Lingchen was not stupid. Wu Junjie was not just any ordinary person when the present occasion was considered, so the first possibility could be ruled out. However, the second possibility…was also extremely unlikely.

“Why should I be afraid?” Ye Lingchen shook his head indifferently. “He should be afraid of me.”

At the same time, everyone stood up and watched the VIPs coming in. From time to time, the surrounding discussions would elicit shocked gasps. Each of those VIPs were smiling, almost as if their smiles were engraved on their face.

It was only natural that no one else would dare to sit down if those VIPs had not taken their seats yet.

At this point, Wu Junjie stood alongside a middle-aged man and both of them gazed respectfully at the group of VIPs.

“You don’t seem to be in a good mood. What’s wrong?” the middle-aged man asked softly.

“I just met a country bumpkin. He came in wearing a fake and insisted that he was wearing the latest model, but he seems to have a good relationship with Xu Wanqing. I taught him a lesson just now, verbally!” Wu Junjie twitched his lip in disdain.

“You taught him a lesson verbally? That means you didn’t do anything physically?”

“No, I will not lose my reputation for that kind of garbage!”

“Good! It’s a sign of maturity if you can hold back and stop yourself from losing your temper. I’ll be very be disappointed otherwise.”

“Tch, am I supposed to bite a dog back if it bites me?” Wu Junjie sneered. “But I’ll still kill the dog later!”

“A gentleman gets his revenge even if it takes ten years. When it comes to these kinds of ants, you can pinch them to death whenever you like, so there’s no need to be angry.” The middle-aged man nodded, then frowned. “Xu Wanqing has a good relationship with him?”

“One is a teacher, the other is a student. They were talking and laughing.” Wu Junjie’s complexion dimmed down as he spoke about that.

“Wanrong Automobile Group has recently been developing a new driving technology. Once it breaks through, they will instantly become the leader in the automotive industry. By then, they would have an influential status throughout the entire world, not only the entire country!”

The words of the middle-aged man lit up Wu Junjie’s eyes and made his breathing quicken.

Their Jiangnan Tannery was nothing compared to the Wanrong Group. If he succeeded in wooing Xu Wanqing, they were destined to become the most upper-class of upperclassmen. By then, they could make it rain and do whatever they pleased!

The crux of the matter was Xu Wanqing. She was the best among the best. They could take pleasure in each other’s money and looks, all while making a steady profit.

After looking at Wu Junjie, the middle-aged man smiled, “Xu Wanqing’s identity is extremely confidential. I had to spend a lot of effort to find that out. I’m sure you don’t need me to teach you what you should be doing next?”

“Don’t worry, Dad.” Coldness flickered in Wu Junjie’s eyes. His determination was high and he said frigidly, “I’ll destroy whoever that dares to stop me!”

The second they looked at the door, their bodies tensed up and their eyes lit up.

“Dad, is that Vatti’s chief designer, Jia Di? Grandmaster Jia?!”

“Yes! Grandmaster Jia usually doesn’t attend such events. I didn’t expect him to be here in person today.” The middle-aged man exclaimed incredulously. His eyes glowed and he remarked excitedly, “When the catwalk is over, we must go over and greet him. You have to be mindful of your words and actions when we do so, and you must leave a good impression with Grandmaster Jia!”

“Don’t worry, Dad.” Wu Junjie nodded immediately.

Jiangnan Tannery’s fame and trustworthiness in cooperation with many other manufacturers was due to the fact that they were Vatti’s suppliers. Their entire existence hinged on Vatti and courting Vatti had become their priority in recent years.

The venue’s atmosphere instantly became more dignified and intense when those important figures came in one-by-one. The entire hall seemed to be filled with their auras, causing some people to have difficulty breathing.

Among them were QQ Music, Kugou Music[1], and NetEase Music, which represented the pinnacle of the music industry. Brands like Vatti, Coach, MK, and various others represented the zenith of the fashion industry. In addition, there were many other VIP guests from different industries.

However, everyone gradually began to notice something strange. There was an empty seat beside Jia Di.

That was…

A thought popped up in everyone’s mind and they thought of an extremely inconceivable possibility.

Master Jia was actually waiting for someone!

Who was worthy of being waited upon by Grandmaster Jia? A seat was specially vacated, no less!

It should be known that Vatti was a symbol of greatness amongst all other brands there. At most, some of the other brands could merely be considered on par with it. Was it a sign that another important person had yet to arrive?

Wu Junjie and his father noticed that, of course. They began feeling flustered out of instinct.

In particular, Wu Junjie’s father was already scheming wildly deep down. He was not going to stop at currying favor with Jia Di. Ideally, it would be best to know more about any influential figure around him.

He Yuan stood behind Wu Junjie with a slight smile on his lips. Having met Young Master Wu that day, perhaps he could use that connection to propel himself and snag a high position in the future!
