Qin Yichen dropped Rong Yue off in front of the Imperial restaurant. Minister Zhang had gone all out for the meeting and even booked a VIP room in the imperial restaurant.
"Tell me when you are done. I have a meeting nearby,"
Rong Yue nodded and waved before getting down from the car.
Unlike most people entering the Imperial restaurant, Rong Yue's dressing was a lot laid back.
The imperial restaurant was designed like a hotel. It had a reception area when you first entered. After confirming the reservation and seat, the person would then be directed to the appropriate floor or room that they booked.
Since bookings were always made ahead, the reception area was usually empty, unlike most hotels.
When the lady at the reception saw Rong Yue, her eyes lit up with surprise at her appearance. As though carved out of jade, the first reaction anyone would have when they saw Rong Yue was surprise and praise.
But when the receptionist noticed the simple clothes that Rong Yue was wearing, her surprise and praise became judgemental.
Although she had never met a girl with a beauty that was at this level, the receptionist had also met her fair share.
Several girls would come here hoping to use their beauty to meet up with some other men.
"Good day, Miss, please let me know your reservation name,"
Rong Yue nodded to acknowledge her and then kept typing on her phone.
She was someone that had met with several important people at the peak of her last life. She didn't want to assume that the booking was made under Minister Zhang's name without confirming.
Since she didn't remember to ask Qin Yichen, she hurriedly sent a message to him.
[Did he send you the reservation name?]
Qin Yichen had just parked the car when his phone dinged with that special ringtone. And he replied almost immediately.
[He would send someone down to get you]
Upon seeing his reply, Rong Yue gave the receptionist a curt nod and went to sit down by the side.
Since she had some free time, Rong Yue opened a certain app on her phone, and very quickly, charts and lines like a graph appeared on the screen.
Even now, technology already made it easy to use Bots and some AI for trading, and Rong Yue had one that she had made early on when she had just gotten her rebirth.
She carefully looked through the recent trades and recent stocks.
If someone looked through her portfolio now, they might think she was a careless and inexperienced investor. After all, she had so many shares in some companies that were just evaluated or were going through difficult times.
There was a particular company where she was close to owning the highest number of shares because their stock price was low, and there were rumors that they would declare bankruptcy.
Even experts had already concluded that the Nile Group was going to go down in less than two weeks.
Qin Yichen leaned back in his seat, "are there more coming or is there a reason why the four of you invited me out?"
Even though the Qin Family was the leading family, they still had to maintain connections and build relationships. After all, even a giant could be pulled down by a multitude of ants.
Qin Feng was not the type to mind things like social interactions. Since he was already holding the political forte for the family, the responsibility fell on Qin Yichen and the others from the side branches.
Qin Yichen's circle of friends had very few people and was known as the 'Exclusive Eight.'
Each one belonged to the strongest family and had skills that made them stand out in this generation.
Since it was based on capabilities, half of them were older than Qin Yichen with two to four years, while some were the same age.
"Mo Fan is the only one in the country and isn't here. Zhou Shuren and Han Tian aren't in the country."
The aura around Qin Yichen dropped sharply. Although all of them were friends, they still had boundaries. More importantly, the only person that Qin Yichen considered a close friend was Mo Fan.
One of them quickly sensed that Qin Yichen didn't like their exclusion of Mo Fan and hurriedly said, "Yichen, Mo Fan doesn't like to discuss business or matters like this. If it were only to hang out, we would even invite him first.
"Does the Mo Family lack talents that he can relegate matters to?" Qin Yichen's voice was sharp, and his eyes on the four were piercing.
The girl, Li Zhuhai, sat up, "I'll call Young Master Mo over now,"
"There's no need. Create another day and ask him to confirm my availability,"
Without giving any of them a chance to talk, Qin Yichen stood up and left the room.
The meaning behind his words was very simple. If the four of them wanted access to him, they needed to go through Mo Fan first!
On the other side,
Rong Yue sat patiently in the lobby and even got carried away from analysing the stock market.
Thinking her previous guess was true, the receptionist rolled her eyes in disdain.
'She doesn't have a reservation. Why is she behaving like someone that is so important?'
"Miss, although the seats were placed here, the management doesn't expect them to be used unless a special situation comes up," she started.
"Huh?" Rong Yue's eyes were filled with confusion as she raised her head to meet the receptionist's gaze.
Seeing the pair of clear and black eyes, the receptionist couldn't help but take a step back.
"I said that you have to prepare your reservation details or leave,"
Just now, she had seen the assistant manager come downstairs for a brief moment. Although it was only for a brief moment, he had glanced at this lady before looking away.
The receptionist guessed that he saw Rong Yue as an eyesore. She didn't want to lose her job or make any mistakes, and thus, she decided that she would chase Rong Yue away.
"If you want to meet up with someone who can take you in, it's better if you stand outside."
