At the Zhou family’s villa…

The people of the Qin family handled things very quickly.

Before Su Chen reached home, Qin Yaoyao’s invitation had already arrived.

When Zhao Guirong handed the three invitations to Zhou Rongchang and the other two, they were all stunned.

“Haha! I told you that Wu Yiqi wouldn’t hold a grudge!”

“Look! He’s sent the invitations over so quickly!”

Zhou Pingjiang was excited.

Zhou Rongchang smiled and nodded.

“I thought Mr. Wu wouldn’t help us!” Wanqiu Zhou said apologetically.

“Haha, we’re practically brothers. Why would he hold a grudge for what happened?” Zhou Pingjiang was very happy. “I’ll give him a call now to thank him!”

As he spoke, Zhou Pingjiang called Wu Yiqi.

When Wu Yiqi saw Zhou Pingjiang’s call come in, he thought that he calling to rush him. He got annoyed.

“Brother, thank you! I’ve already received the invitation to the Qin family’s business cocktail party. Thank you so much!”

Zhou Pingjiang’s words stunned Wu Yiqi.

However, he reacted quickly.

“Did you receive it?”

“I just gave the order. I didn’t expect them to send the invitations over so quickly. Good to hear that you received them!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll put in a good word for you regarding the Qin family’s Tianhao Group’s new factory bid!”

Wu Yiqi naturally took the credit.

Zhou Pingjiang was extremely excited. “Alright! I can’t thank you enough! Let’s have a drink soon!”

The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up.

Wu Yiqi was confused. “The Zhou family actually received invitations for the Qin family’s business cocktail party. What’s going on? ”

“Maybe the Qin family knows how pretty Zhou Wanqiu is. Maybe they want her to join their family too?” Wu Renxing asked.

Slap!

Wu Yiqi clapped Wu Renxing on the head.

“Zhou Wanqiu is pretty? Is that all you know?”

“Qin Wentian of the Qin family only has one daughter, and that’s Qin Yaoyao. Do you know that?”

“Do you think she’ll marry Zhou Wanqiu? What for?”

Wu Renxing rubbed his head with a bitter face and said, “Maybe… Maybe Qin Wentian wants to marry her!”

“Go to h*ll!”

Wu Yiqi kicked Wu Renxing to the ground, “Qin Yaoyao’s mother has been dead for over ten years. If Qin Wentian wanted to marry her, he would have done so long ago! Can’t you pay more attention to the business world in Bin Cheng?”

“Dad, then tell me something. Why did Qin Wentian invite the Zhou family?” Wu Renxing asked with a sad expression.

Wu Yiqi frowned.

“Maybe Qin Wentian wants to make He Catering Group nervous!”

“After all, even if he really prefers He Catering Group, he will still bargain with them. By inviting the Zhou family to their cocktail party, He Catering Group might be more willing to lower their price!”

“Anyway, no matter what, I’ll still get credit for nothing.”

Wu Yiqi confidently stated his analysis.

“Wow! Dad! You’re so awesome! You managed to deduce all that!” Wu Renxing flattered him.

Wu Yiqi sneered, “Do you think I’m like you? You only know how to eat, drink, and gamble every day. You go to nightclubs all the time and sleep around. You don’t know anything about business, and you don’t pay attention to any important information…”

The more Wu Yiqi spoke, the angrier he got. In the end, he took off his belt and started hitting Wu Renxing.

Wu Renxing’s screams echoed through the Wu family’s villa again.

In the living room of the Zhou family villa…

The three of them were very excited.

“My friend is actually pretty great!” Zhou Pingjiang laughed.

Zhou Rongchang and Zhou Wanqiu were also very excited.

Zhou Rongchang smiled. “Since there are only three invitations, you two can go with Su Chen tomorrow!”

Zhou Wanqiu and Zhou Pingjiang were stunned.

“Dad, aren’t you going? Isn’t it a little inappropriate to bring Su Chen along?” Zhou Pingjiang was a little disgusted.

“Su Chen is new to Bin Cheng. He should see what the upper class is like. Bring him along and broaden his horizons!”

“Grandpa, the Qin family got us three invitations. They definitely want the three of us to go!” Zhou Wanqiu said quickly. “Su Chen doesn’t know a thing about business. Why should he attend the Qin family’s business cocktail party?”

Zhou Rongchang glared at her. “Can’t he learn?”

Zhou Wanqiu didn’t dare to say anything else. She looked at Zhou Pingjiang for help.

Zhou Pingjiang quickly tried to persuade him. “Dad! It’s not that we don’t want Su Chen to go, but this opportunity is too important to us!”

“Although Su Chen’s medical skills are amazing, he has a temper. If he offends some big shot, it won’t be good for him or our family!”

Zhou Rongchang still wanted to insist, but Zhou Pingjiang’s words made sense!

“Next time, then!” Zhou Rongchang sighed.

Zhou Wanqiu and Zhou Pingjiang looked at each other and smiled.

Not long after…

Su Chen appeared at the door.

Zhou Rongchang rushed to Su Chen. “Wanqiu, come! Apologize to Su Chen in person!”

Zhou Wanqiu surreptitiously rolled her eyes, but she complied.

“I’m sorry, Su Chen. I shouldn’t have hit you or scolded you!” Zhou Wanqiu pouted.

“You’ve already apologized,” Su Chen said. “You don’t have to say it again.”

Zhou Rongchang said, “Not enough! You have to thank him too!”

Zhou Wanqiu could only lower her head again. “Thank you. You saved me and helped detoxify the poison!”

Su Chen could also tell that Zhou Wanqiu was not being sincere.

He nodded and walked toward Old Master Zhou.

Zhou Wanqiu pouted.

‘What’s there to be so proud of? You only have some knowledge about traditional medicine that you picked up from the countryside. It’s not like you killed He Zhenlong and He Junying! Hmph!’

Not long after…

Zhao Guirong prepared dinner.

The family finished their meal, and the atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed.

That night, Su Chen still slept in his corner.

Zhou Wanqiu, who was on the bed, had forgotten that she regretted not sleeping with Su Chen. She had felt that way when He Junying was about to defile her.

The next morning…

The whole family had breakfast together.

Zhou Wanqiu drove Su Chen to work as usual.

Before they left, Zhou Rongchang said, “Something got in your way yesterday. Today, don’t forget to register your marriage with Su Chen!”

Zhou Wanqiu’s irritation flared.

She stepped on the accelerator and sped off again.

During the drive, Zhou Wanqiu ignored Su Chen.

Su Chen felt that it was better this way. He stayed quiet too.

Zhou Wanqiu dropped Su Chen off at the corner of the Zhou Catering Group’s building.

Then, she stepped on the accelerator and drove off.

Su Chen did not mind.

He thought of his trip to Bin Cheng as an experience. He was very open-minded.

He wanted to help Zhou Rongchang by occasionallysolving some of the Zhou family’s problems.

As for other matters, he would leave them to fate.

As for Zhou Wanqiu, he would leave her like this for now. When he received news from his grandfather, he would plan his next move.

Su Chen walked into the building and went to the secretaries’ office.

The moment he entered…

Zhang You and the others immediately stood up and bowed.

“Su Chen, good morning!”

This shocked Su Chen.

It seemed that Zhang You and the others had completely given up the act after Zhou Wanqiu found out about their “betrayal”.

“What are you doing?” Su Chen asked.

The silver-haired punk, Zhang You, chuckled and said, “Yesterday, we witnessed your martial strength. We also witnessed your charisma when you scolded my teammates on my behalf. You’re skilled in every way. You are worthy of being our friend!”

Liu Pan also laughed. “Zhang You told us that you told them his girlfriend needed his attention. Apparently, they were speechless! Hehe!”

Tian Yong and Su Jiao also joined in the fun and greeted their new friend.

Su Chen was speechless.

These guys were really bored.

“Alright! Go back to work! Yesterday, my salary for the month was cut in half. If CEO Zhou sees this, she’ll deduct my salary again!” Su Chen said.

Zhou Wanqiu’s influence was huge.

They returned to their seats obediently.

In the afternoon…

Zhang You was bored, so he ran to Su Chen’s desk and gossiped with him.

Liu Pan, Tian Yong, and Su Jiao also came over.

Su Chen was happy to learn more about the Zhou Group and Bin Cheng through them.

At this moment…

Someone came into the secretaries’ office.
