BC Chapter 173

As for Wei Wei and Liu Jie, they actually came to the Fuhua Hotel somewhat reluctantly, but after seeing Yan Song and Yan Shaohang who were also present, they put down their previous cautiousness, and the four of them naturally gathered together.

“You guys are here too?” As soon as Yan Song saw Wei Wei and Liu Jie, he understood who the “acquaintances” the man in black had mentioned that day were referring to.

“What? Is it a case of ‘may the magistrate burn down houses while the common people cannot even light a lamp’? You guys can come, so why can’t we?” Liu Jie rolled her eyes at Yan Song and swirled the goblet in her hand. The liquid inside swirled around, presenting a dark shade of yellow under the light.

“I didn’t say you couldn’t come. Why are you so argumentative?” Yan Song’s eyes widened, seemingly unable to digest Liu Jie’s extremely fiery words. He wanted to take a step forward to say something more, but was pulled back by Yan Shaohang behind him.

“Now is not the time to argue. Look at the others in this hall. Do you recognize any of them?” Yan Shaohang didn’t continue the pointless conversation between the two of them that was purely about showing how “close” they were. Instead, he warily scanned the not-so-crowded hall, trying to identify their faces.

“If you’re looking for university students like us, then I can tell you that apart from us few students, the rest are researchers from top domestic research labs or heads of biological research projects.” Wei Wei lightly touched the rim of the goblet with her lips, took a small sip of the wine, and said calmly.

“Oh? How do you know?” Hearing this, Yan Shaohang suddenly became interested in the meeting arranged by Jinping Group, raising his eyebrows with some doubt.

“We arrived earlier than you. When they were gathered together exchanging pleasantries, I pretended to pass behind them and overheard it.”

“…” Yan Shaohang and Yan Song exchanged glances, both speechless. Although eavesdropping wasn’t a good thing, it had to be said that sometimes some underhanded methods were indeed very useful. For example, when you can’t figure out the situation, you can pretend to nonchalantly pass by a group of people socializing and conveniently overhear some useful key information, just like Wei Wei did just now.

“Researchers and heads…” Although Yan Shaohang hadn’t started interacting with the strangers here, he felt that he already had some vague guesses about the theme of today’s banquet, just from these two identities.

Just as the few of them were secretly discussing scattering to learn about the backgrounds of the others, several groups of people walked in one after another at the entrance of the hall. Judging by their appearances, these people were not very old. And just as these people entered the hall, the sound of high heels, “clack, clack, clack,” came from far away.

“Oh? The host is here?” Liu Jie looked towards the entrance of the hall with interest, waiting to catch a glimpse of the Vice President of Jinping Group. Because as early as the day they were invited, they had learned from the man in black that the Vice President of Jinping Group was a woman, so hearing the sound of high heels that often accompany formal attire, she naturally assumed it was the Vice President of Jinping.

The crowd in the hall had been gathered for some time, but the main character hadn’t appeared yet. Hearing the ear-catching sound now, they naturally all thought that the main person had arrived.

But the result was beyond everyone’s expectations. The face that instantly appeared in front of everyone’s eyes at the door was actually a young, expressionless face. Some of the invited people had seen photos of the Vice President and immediately recognized that this woman was not the rumored Vice President of Jinping Group.

“Who is it?”

“So individualistic…”

“Yeah, she doesn’t look like any of us researchers at all.”

…The crowd gathered in small groups, all discussing the woman at the door.

The woman had a head of bleached light yellow hair and matching eyebrows, with a casual bun at the back of her head, and wore a very design-oriented cheongsam. She had a cold face and no expression. Looking at her features, one could tell that she didn’t have any other foreign ancestry. Compared to most of the stiff people here, those people who had appeared before the woman and this woman seemed out of place here and did not seem like they would appear here.

However, the moment they saw the woman’s face, the four of Yan Shaohang, who were gathered together, exclaimed in surprise in unison: “Sister Na?!”

That’s right, the person who came was Yin Suna, who was very familiar with the four of them. Even though she was wearing a cheongsam and high heels, she walked with the feeling of someone in combat uniform.
