Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Tang Haifeng and Master Xu had handed their family businesses to their sons long ago, so they hadn’t met each other for a long time.
“Grandpa, dad, let me introduce you, this is my and Shaoting’s master, Shangguan Yang,” Gu Ning said to Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunfan.
Hearing that, both Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunfan were slightly surprised, but they didn’t ask further about that. They immediately stood up to greet Shangguan Yang. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Shangguan.”
“Nice to meet you too, Master Tang and Mr. Tang,” said Shangguan Yang. They were exchanging greetings just now, so he learned that their surnames were both Tang.
Gu Ning then introduced Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunfan to Shangguan Yang. “Master, this is my grandfather, Tang Haifeng, and this is my father, Tang Yunfan.”
After exchanging greetings, they went to sit before ordering. They took each other as family, so no one hesitated to order their favorites.
They shared the meal in a harmonious atmosphere. And because they had similar characters and many things in common, they soon got familiar with one another.
“Ningning, Wenxi and I plan to stay in the capital for two more days. If you have time, can you take us for a tour the day after tomorrow, after finis.h.i.+ng your work tomorrow? You don’t need to go to school every day anyway,” said Tang Jiakai. He rarely came to the capital, so he was unwilling to go back home so early.
“No problem.” Gu Ning agreed. She would go to the cultivation world four days later, so it was fine to spend two days with them.
“Ningning doesn’t need to go to school every day, but how about you?” Tang Haifeng said all of a sudden. He wouldn’t stop them from staying in the capital for longer, but Tang Jiakai was still a student.
Hearing that, Tang Jiakai didn’t feel guilty. Instead, he argued. “It’s just two days away from school. It isn’t a big deal. After all, the day after tomorrow is the weekend.”
Tang Haifeng gave Tang Jiakai a glare, then closed his mouth.
After having the meal, they didn’t leave right away, but enjoyed tea for a while. After a good rest, they left together.
Leng Shaoting originally planned to accommodate them in the Shengs.h.i.+ Hotel, but Tang Yunfan decided to go to the Huangdeng Hotel.
Leng Shaoting didn’t insist, because the Huangdeng Hotel was owned by the Tang family. It was indeed more convenient for them to stay there.
After that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting sent them to the Huangdeng Hotel, while the other people left in their own cars.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting didn’t leave right after they arrived at the hotel. They chatted with Tang Haifeng and the others for a while before leaving.
The next day, the Shengning Organization was going to be officially established. By the time it was almost 9:30 am, a lot of people had gathered outside.
There were celebrities, officials, reporters, and onlookers. It was full of activities.
Because it was still early, all the present businessmen and officials weren’t very important. The most important figures were still absent. Among the present guests, Tang Qingyang, Xu Qinyin, Gu Anna, Jiang Ruiqin, and Song Nan might enjoy the highest status.
Xu Qinyin wasn’t the representative of the Xu family, but her social status as Miss Xu mattered a lot.
Gu Anna came on behalf of the Gu family.
Gu Ning only knew Gu Anna and had no relations.h.i.+p with the Gu family, but the Gu family was more than willing to build a good relations.h.i.+p with her because of Gu Ning’s close connection with the Leng family and the Xu family. Therefore, the Gu family sent Gu Anna over as its representative instead of as Gu Ning’s friend.
Jiang Ruiqin came on behalf of the Jiang family.
Compared with Tang Qingyang and other people, Song Nan’s family was much poorer, but no one took him lightly because the Song family wasn’t an ordinary family and Song Nan was a close friend of Tang Qingyang and other heirs.
Everyone came with an expensive flower basket and other gifts.
Gu Ning set up lounges to serve the guests desserts and drinks in the hall, but most guests preferred to stand outside chatting with each other in groups of three or five.
They came to congratulate Gu Ning and also to form a relations.h.i.+p with people of power or wealth.
Standing outside, they mainly hoped to see some powerful figures and seize the chance to welcome them before other people.
After a while, Zi Beiying showed up. Because Zi Beiying had a very special family and she needed to keep it secret, she came as Gu Ning’s friend.
The Zi family had prepared a very generous gift for Gu Ning, but they would send it to Gu Ning in private.
Gu Ning had saved the Zi family after all, so their gift couldn’t be cheap.
Song Miaoge came on behalf of the Song family because Gu Ning had saved Song Miaoge’s mother’s life as well. The Song family also hoped to form a good relations.h.i.+p with Gu Ning.
Baili Zongyang and Baili Zongxue came too. Although Baili Zongyang was a newcomer in the business circle, his family’s business was quite large, so he was a familiar face to many guests, but he and Baili Zongxue came today as Gu Ning’s friends.
Zhang Zikai also showed up as Gu Ning’s friend and other people didn’t know her status.
Chu Peihan and the others came as Gu Ning’s friends. Because they knew that Gu Ning would be very busy today, they didn’t bother her. After congratulating and sending her the gifts, they went to rest aside.
Although all the present businessmen and officials weren’t very important, the presence of the representatives of the several powerful families shocked many people. A lot of business owners and officials went to strike up a conversation with Tang Qingyang and his companions.
Afterwards, artists of Fenghua Entertainment showed up as well, but the majority of the guests were successful businessmen and officials, so they seemed less important.
However, onlookers were more excited to see those stars than the businessmen and officials, because all the senior officials and tyc.o.o.ns were still absent while common citizens failed to recognize the present ones.
Stars were different. Most people were familiar with their faces, and stars often had a lot of fans. As a result, onlookers and some reporters turned to focus on Tang Xiaoxiao and the other actors when they showed up.
Compared with the businessmen and officials, stars had a lower social status, but it didn’t mean they were disdained. Some businessmen and officials who knew them exchanged greetings with them.
Even if some guests didn’t know them, they wouldn’t directly ignore them for the sake of Gu Ning.
After a while, it was the most shocking moment.
The Leng family, the leading family of the 4 dominant families in the capital, sent Leng Shaoting over. He was in a military uniform and came with an expensive flower basket as the representative of the Leng family.
In an instant, it caused a great sensation.
“Jesus, I can’t believe my eyes. Is it Lord Leng of the Leng family? What’s Gu Ning’s real relations.h.i.+p with the Leng family?”
The eldest grandson of the Leng family enjoyed a very high status because the Leng family was the top family in their country.
