Ding Qiuyue’s expression changed. “That’s right, you inherited your father’s legacy and have a lot of money now. Of course, you wouldn’t care about these things. But these are all from your grandfather’s painstaking efforts to ensure that all of you have a good future. Even if you don’t care about your part, you should at least think of your cousin.”
Zhong Yuhuan grabbed her bag. “I don’t have an appetite. The next time you want to have a meal with me, you can simply go to Yuelan villa. Why bother having a Hongmen banquet* outside.”
*Hongmen banquet (鸿门宴) is a metaphor for a meal/banquet that hides murderous/harmful intentions towards the guest(s). From a famous episode in 206 BC when Xiang Yu (rival) attempted to murder Liu Bang (future Han emperor) at a banquet he was hosting but failed.
Ding Qiuyue’s expression changed again, but she suppressed her emotions, saying, “Okay, then let’s not talk about this anymore. Don’t be angry.”
Ding Qiuyue grabbed Zhong Yuhuan’s wrist.
Zhong Yuhuan frowned at her. “Then what else do you want to say?”
Ding Qiuyue was a bit reluctant. “Have you heard of the Jinghua Group?”
Zhong Yuhuan wasn’t sure what she was getting at, so she continued staring at her without speaking.
“The boss of the Jinghua Group wants to invite you for a meal.”
Zhong Yuhuan was at a loss.
What is this?
“If it’s for a business partnership, he could directly reach out through the Zhong company and wouldn’t need to contact me through you. What are you trying to do?” Zhong Yuhuan’s expression changed, her tone becoming a bit mocking. “What? Are you acting as a procurer?”
“What do you mean by ‘procurer’? How unpleasant.” Ding Qiuyue’s face showed a subtle change. “Here’s his business card.” Then, she pushed the card in front of Zhong Yuhuan. “Since you don’t want to have this meal, I’ll leave first. We can eat with Jinzhi next time.”
If you can invite Lang Jinzhi, then I’ll take on your last name, Zhong Yuhuan thought mockingly.
After Ding Qiuyue left, Zhong Yuhuan lowered her head to look at the card. It had a name: Li Yong.
The name itself was unfamiliar to Zhong Yuhuan, but the Li character caused her to remember something.
She immediately opened her phone and searched “Jinghua Group” for information about the Jinghua Group’s boss. Her search was instantly loaded.
Li Yong, Chinese living abroad, rich businessman.
Looking at his age, he was already 80.
Zhong Yuhuan raised an eyebrow. Seriously? Is this the director Li assistant Dong was referring to?
She frowned and put the card away.
Was Li Jinyuan unwilling to follow him back, so director Li chose her as a breakthrough point?
Zhong Yuhuan rubbed the card.
It was none of her business.
It was his life. Only Li Jinyuan had the power to choose in situations regarding himself.
Zhong Yuhuan did not know that the breakthrough point she assumed Li Yong used and the actual breakthrough point he used was not the same at all.

After《Top Speed》was broadcasted, the trio’s fan counts increased exponentially again. Li Jinyuan’s fans increased the fastest since he was in the circle and already had a promising future in the entertainment industry. Fans who wanted to stan for someone would definitely choose him.
The show’s viewership broke the record again.
Many media outlets asked to interview Li Jinyuan; not just him, even the Zhong’s business received calls wanting to interview Zhong Yuhuan. The shareholders thought that it was a very good opportunity to expand their businesses, so they persuaded Zhong Yuhuan to accept the interview. Zhong Yuhuan had never attended something like this before, so she thought about it and decided to wait to see Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming’s interviews first.
Before their interview even aired, rumors spread on the Internet about Li Jinyuan again.
A variety of exaggerated headlines emerged one after another.
《Shocking! Li Jinyuan’s biological father is actually…》
《No one would’ve expected that Li Jinyuan really is a rich second-generation!》
《Li Jinyuan’s true identity isn’t an orphan, but the successor of a large group.》

Zhong Yuhuan was pretty behind on the Internet news, but Han Yingying wasn’t at all.
When she saw the news, Han Yingying immediately called her.
“Is this thing real? If it’s false, then quickly let your Li Jinyuan take notice of it. It’s clear that there’s someone going after him! After this, there’s definitely going to be an overwhelming amount of news saying that Li Jinyuan wasn’t satisfied with his past coming from an orphanage being exposed, so he bought water armies and headlines to heighten his identity as a rich second-gen… Netizens don’t think much. They believe in whatever the marketing accounts say,” Han Yingying said.
