The President of the Ye Group? Wasn’t he the boy who was said to have once pursued Youlin? Later on, for some unknown reason, he married the eldest lady of the Su family. Youlin had actually invited him over today. Wasn’t she afraid that the jealousy in her family would spill over?

As if she had seen through Duan Yarong’s thoughts, Zhao Youlin helplessly added, “Mom, President Ye is the same as brother. They are both partners of our company. They were the ones who invested in Dad’s resort project previously.”

Duan Yarong came back to her senses and greeted Ye Yan, “Hello, President Ye. I’m Youlin’s mom. Today is the Zhao Group’s anniversary celebration. We are all very happy that you came. I hope you have a good time today.”

“I will. Thank you for your concern, Auntie. It’s my honor to be able to attend your company’s anniversary celebration.” Ye Yan’s words were full of sincerity. Coupled with the extremely gentle smile on his face, he was even more charming.

Duan Yarong looked at Ye Yan’s youthful face and compared it to Mu Tingfeng’s expressionless face. She really felt that this kind of person who looked more obedient was more suitable for her daughter.

Poor President Mu did not know that his position in his mother-in-law’s heart was once again in a precarious situation because of Ye Yan’s unintentional act. It was tragic.

Duan Yarong and Zhao Youlin moved closer to Zhao Youlin, and the direction of the banquet also changed. The people who were originally surrounding Zhao Youming all ran over and surrounded Zhao Youlin.

Those who could survive in this circle were all shrewd. The Zhao family’s anniversary celebration was not only known by the Zhao family’s higher-ups, they were also very clear about it.

Previously, when Zhao Youming’s so-called tycoon, came over, they also gave him a round of flattery. This kind of flattery not only stoked the tycoon’s pride, but also begged for Zhao Youming’s favor.

Now, the person Zhao Youlin invited was obviously of a higher status than the tycoon just now. Naturally, the people surrounding that person changed direction and turned to beg for Zhao Youlin’s favor.

Such was the standard of the business world. It was straightforward and cruel.

“Isn’t this President Ye? You are also here to attend the banquet today? What a coincidence!”

“It is quite a coincidence. President Ye, are you also here to attend the banquet? I was invited by a friend to join in the fun.”

“I didn’t expect President Ye to be so young. When I heard of your name before, I thought he should be at least a person around my age. I didn’t expect him to be so young. He is really a young talent.”

“Sir, please don’t say that. I’m just a fledgling kid. I really don’t dare to be a young talent. I’ve also heard of your name for a long time. I’ve never had the chance to meet you before. I didn’t expect to meet you here. Let me toast to you.”

“Previously, I only saw President Ye from afar your wedding. Now that I’ve seen you up close, I realize that you really a good-looking person. You and Lady Su are really a match made in heaven.”

“You flatter me. I see that your daughter is also dignified and beautiful. She has an extraordinary temperament. I’m sure there are many people who would flock to her. You are so lucky!”

“I heard that President Ye’s Group is planning a big project recently. Our company also has the intention in this regard. I wonder…”

“Sir, you’re too polite. However, today is the Zhao family’s anniversary after all. It’s not appropriate for us to discuss this here. After the banquet ends, the Ye group welcomes you to come and negotiate matters with us at any time.”

“…”

Ye Yan was a person who was very skilled in the social circle. He was well-versed in all aspects, and he was able to remain calm in the face of the waves of people who were rushing towards him. He calmly dealt with one person after another who came to strike up a conversation with him.

Zhao Youlin, who was watching from the side, was stunned and amazed. She felt that it had been the smartest decision for her to call this guy over to save the situation today.

“I didn’t expect you to have the qualifications to be a socialite. No wonder I always heard Ling Ran say that you’re a famous ‘playboy’ in the circle. Every time you attend a banquet, there will be a bunch of girls and ladies pouncing on you like moths to a flame. You can’t even stop them. I didn’t really believe it at that time, but now, I have no choice but to believe it. How can Xiao Qi trust a person like you to attend the banquet alone? If you do something to let her down one day, she probably won’t even know it at home. How unjust.”

As soon as Zhao Youlin said this, the gentle smile on Ye Yan’s face that had never changed from the beginning to the end, instantly twisted. Gritting his teeth, he said, “This is just the most basic means of communication. I will never do anything to let Xiao Qi down.”

Zhao Youlin spread her hands and said innocently, “Who knows? A man’s words may hold true in many matters, but at the sight of a pretty lady, a man’s second brain may form words of his own.”

The veins on Ye Yan’s head immediately popped up, but he still had to deal with the wave after wave of people who kept coming over to flirt with him and toasted him. He could only maintain the smile on his face. While he was doing this, he remembered in his heart that Ling Ran had a big mouth when it came to flirting and forgetting his friends.

Zhao Youming watched from a distance as the group of people who had previously surrounded him turned around and surrounded Zhao Youlin in the blink of an eye. The flattering look on their faces was even more exaggerated than when they were facing him previously. The hands that were hanging by his side immediately clenched into fists.

Zhao Youlin suddenly felt an extremely sharp gaze coming from behind her, and it made her feel as if there was a thorn in her back. When she turned around, as expected, she saw Zhao Youming in the distance, staring at them viciously.

Zhao Youming did not shy back when he saw Zhao Youlin looking at him. He restrained the hatred in his eyes and walked over to Zhao Youlin.

“Cousin, you’re really capable. You actually invited such a big shot like President Ye.” Zhao Youming stared at Ye Yan, who was not far away. A trace of indignation flashed across his eyes. If it was just the president of the Ye group… perhaps these people would not be so afraid.

But the key point was that Ye Yan was not only the president of the Ye Group, he was also the son-in-law of the Su family, that Su family…

Zhao Youlin naturally heard the spite in Zhao Youming’s words. The corners of her lips curled up a little. “Fortunately, we became friends when we worked together before. His wife now happens to be more familiar with me, and with a little bit of kinship, President Ye has to give me some face.”

Zhao Youlin’s words were also a reminder to Zhao Youming. These people here were indeed afraid of the Su family behind Ye Yan, but don’t forget that the Su family and the Mu family were also related. As the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, Zhao Youlin also had some relations with the Su family. Ye Yan was not the only person these people had to be afraid of.
