Zhou Pingjiang was in disbelief.

“The big shot is actually Su Chen? How is this possible? Didn’t he just come from a village?”

Zhou Pingjiang was very confused.

Meanwhile, Zhou Rongchang was all smiles. “Su Chen is truly extraordinary. He actually got to know the Qin family as soon as he arrived in Bin Cheng!”

Zhou Wanqiu also couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “Impossible. It must be a mistake.”

Zhou Rongchang looked at their reactions and smiled proudly.

At this moment, on the stage…

Su Chen smiled stiffly as he stood beside Qin Yaoyao. Everyone’s attention was on him.

He was confused as well, and he felt awkward to be standing here.

Was this the surprise Qin Wentian mentioned earlier?

Well, it was a shock!

Su Chen did not like being in the limelight, but now he had become the focus of everyone’s attention.

Everyone was asking about Su Chen’s background.

There were all sorts of speculations.

Qin Yaoyao smiled and was about to continue introducing Su Chen.

“There’s no need to introduce me,” Su Chen said in a low voice. “I don’t like these things! ”

Qin Yaoyao was taken aback and thought to herself, ‘It seems I might have upset him with this surprise.’

Qin Yaoyao reacted quickly and said, “Now, let’s let Mr. Su rest!”

Su Chen strode down.

The guests were stunned.

What was going on?

“Didn’t you say to introduce this big shot? Why did you let him go?”

“Who knows! Qin Yaoyao is known as Demoness Qin. Perhaps she’s deliberately teasing that young man!”

“Haha! That’s possible! I think that kid looks like a country bumpkin. He seemed quite awkward up there. He probably didn’t expect Ms. Qin Yaoyao to play such a joke on him!”

The guests below the stage felt that this was a prank, and they immediately laughed along.

In the crowd, the Zhou family members looked at each other.

Zhou Wanqiu pursed her lips and said, “I told you! How could Su Chen become the Qin family’s important guest? Qin Yaoyao must’ve been teasing him!”

Zhou Rongchang was a little angry. “Qin Yaoyao is too much!”

“Dad!” Zhou Pingjiang quickly tried to comfort him. “We’re at the Qin family’s cocktail party now. If people hear you say that, they might misunderstand.”

“Perhaps Qin Yaoyao was just joking!”

Zhou Rongchang’s anger quelled.

At this moment…

On the stage, Qin Yaoyao was still smiling, but she felt a little rueful.

She had invited Su Chen to the stage without asking him first.

Qin Yaoyao said a few more words, then left the stage as well.

She wanted to apologize to Su Chen.

After Su Chen left the stage, he went back to Chen Zhongyi and Sun Zhongjing.

“Mr. Su, did you treat Ms. Qin Yaoyao’s illness?” Chen Zhongyi asked curiously.

Su Chen nodded.

Immediately, Chen Zhongyi’s impression of Su Chen improved even more.

He was Qin Wentian’s good friend, so he knew what Qin Wentian went through to cure his daughter’s illness. Even Sun Zhongjing, a famous doctor in Bin Cheng, couldn’t cure her.

In the end, Su Chen solved it.

No wonder the Qin family valued Su Chen so much.

“Mr. Su, you don’t seem to like being in the limelight,” Chen Zhongyi said.

Su Chen shook his head. “It means nothing!”

Chen Zhongyi was even more surprised. Young people like Su Chen were rarely like this.

However, on second thought, he remembered that Su Chen had not claimed the credit for destroying the Black Dragon Gang. Fame really meant nothing to him.

“Elder Sun, can I trouble you with something?” Su Chen asked Sun Zhongjing.

“Anything!” Sun Zhongjing smiled.

“If anyone asks about Ms. Qin’s illness in the future, please tell Mr. Qin to say that you cured her!” Su Chen said.

“You’re giving me the credit for nothing. Of course, I have no objections!” Sun Zhongjing was a little surprised.

Su Chen nodded gratefully.

Although his medical skills were amazing, it wasn’t all he cared about.

In addition, Su Chen was afraid of attracting trouble.

He had encountered an illness that was difficult to treat, so he provided his services.

However, if others found out, many would seek his treatment. He’d be treating all kinds of major and minor illnesses. That would be extremely annoying.

It might even delay his cultivation.

Soon after…

Qin Yaoyao found Su Chen.

She went forward and hugged Su Chen’s arm to apologize. “Savior, I’m sorry! I had no idea you didn’t like the limelight!”

As he watched Qin Yaoyao acting coquettishly, Su Chen said calmly, “I’m fine!”

“Are you angry with me? Why don’t you punish me by kissing me?” Qin Yaoyao pouted.

Su Chen almost spat out his tea.

Beside him, Chen Zhongyi and Sun Zhongjing quickly spoke up.

“Um, I have to use the toilet. I’m off!”

“Now that you mention it, my bladder is about to explode! Let’s go, let’s go!”

The two of them slipped away.

Su Chen looked helpless.

Qin Yaoyao was too powerful. She made those two men run away with their tails between their legs.

However, Qin Yaoyao acted as if she did not see it and puffed out her chest. “If that doesn’t work, you can touch me again. Touch me twice!”

Su Chen was terrified. He quickly said, “I’m not angry. I just don’t like to be in the limelight!”

Qin Yaoyao smiled happily.

“I’m glad you’re not angry! Hehe!”

At this moment…

Qin Wentian walked over and asked, “Mr. Su, what’s your relationship with the Zhou family?”

“Old Master Zhou Rongchang is my grandfather’s old friend,” Su Chen replied. “Now, I live in the Zhou family’s villa and work at their company!”

Qin Wentian’s eyes lit up. “I saw that Zhou Catering Group is applying for the bid for Tianhao Group’s new cafeteria. I’ll give it to them. What do you think about that?”

“Would you?” Su Chen asked.

Qin Yaoyao smiled. “Of course. This factory is under my family’s company. My father’s influence is highly effective!”

“Of course, my words are even more powerful than my dad’s!”

“Just say so, and it’s done! So, you have the final say. Hehe!”

The meaning was very clear.

This was especially so when Qin Wentian was standing at the side. Su Chen felt somewhat awkward.

“Whatever Yaoyao wants is also what I want.” Qin Wentian smiled.

Su Chen was stunned.

How unexpected! The Zhou family and He family were both competing for the Tianhao Group cafeteria bid, but the decision was now in his hands.

“Then, I’ll thank you on behalf of Old Master Zhou, Mr. Qin!” Su Chen said, “However, please don’t say that it’s because of me.”

Qin Wentian nodded.

He thought that Su Chen might say that.

He didn’t like to be in the limelight. He was not the typical young man.

Qin Wentian knew that he had done the right thing.

He would do Su Chen a favor.

At the party, Zhou Wanqiu was still anxious. She wanted to chat with the Qin family.

She still did not know that the Tianhao Group project she had been longing for already belonged to the Zhou family thanks to Su Chen.

At this moment, Zhou Pingjiang happened to see Wu Yiqi.

He quickly brought Zhou Wanqiu and Zhou Rongchang to thank Wu Yiqi.

“Wu Yiqi, thank you so much! Thanks to the invitations you procured, we were able to make it to this cocktail party today!” Zhou Pingjiang picked up a glass of wine and raised it respectfully.

Although Wu Yiqi felt guilty, he still bragged.

“You’re too polite! I do have connections within the Qin family, of course.”

“Three invitations? Such a small matter!”

Zhou Pingjiang thanked him even more.

Beside Wu Yiqi, Wu Renxing also held his head high.

He stared fixedly at Zhou Wanqiu. He looked her up and down.

Zhou Wanqiu was so frustrated that she wanted to poke his eyes out.

However, right now, she could only suppress her anger and smile at Wu Renxing.

“Zhou Pingjiang,” Wu Yiqi said. “You’ve seen the strength of my relationship with the Qin Family!”

“To be honest, if you can get Wanqiu to marry my son, I might be able to get you Tianhao Group’s new project!”

Hearing this, Wu Renxing’s eyes lit up and he almost drooled.

Zhou Wanqiu’s expression changed drastically.

Zhou Rongchang glared at him.

Zhou Pingjiang frowned slightly. “Wu Yiqi, it’s better to see what the children want!”

“Hmph!” Wu Yiqi snorted coldly.

“Zhou Pingjiang, your attitude is a waste of time. I got you three invitations!”

“If you don’t agree to my proposal, I’ll help the He Corporation!”

“If I do, the Qin family’s Tianhao Group project will end up in the He family’s hands!”

Wu Yiqi threatened him.

Instantly, the Zhou family’s expressions turned sour!

At this moment, a cold voice rang out.

“Who do you think you are? Is the Qin family’s Tianhao Group project something you have any authority over?”
