MY MASTER'S KISS, VOLUME 6 - Season 14 Episode 16

The space here was very large. It was indeed a space suitable for gatherings.

Feng Ling didn’t recognize all of the people here. After all, there were too many people and it was too big. She only went in to chat with a few people she was familiar with for a while before she was pushed to the side by almost all the famous people. When she picked up a glass of wine not far away, she turned around and saw a strange man approaching.

“You are, Miss Feng?”

Feng Ling turned back to glance at the man. Before she could speak, the secretary who came with him introduced, “This is CEO E, the host of this banquet.”

“So you are CEO E.” Feng Ling nodded at him calmly. “Hello, nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.” CEO E extended his hand politely to Feng Ling.

Feng Ling also reached out to shake his hand. She was about to pull it back when she found that the man’s grip was a bit tight. This was not a very blatant hint, but it was very obvious between the two of them. How could Feng Ling, who had been in the circle for more than a year, not understand this hint?

She only smiled politely at him and pulled her hand back without a trace. Then she clinked glasses with him. “Previously, I had contact with another person in charge of your company. Today is the first time I’ve met CEO E. In the future, I might have to rely on you for business cooperation. Here, let me toast you.”

The glass of red wine was only slightly above the bottom of the glass. Feng Ling’s alcohol tolerance was poor, so she never drank much in this circle and only drank as much as she could.

“Miss Feng, you’re too polite. Our company and the Feng Corporation are business partners who often work hand in hand in the American Chinese business world. If there’s anything you need, you can speak to me anytime.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Feng Ling changed the topic. She first thanked CEO E for his warm invitation, and then directly shifted the topic to the end of the month’s funding indicator and the various topics their company wanted to discuss. She did not stand on ceremony or show any excess affection.

Although she had just entered the business world, she was cautious and quiet, and her words were watertight. CEO E smiled at her from time to time. At this time, someone came over to greet her. He nodded at Feng Ling apologetically and turned to continue chatting with the others.

After returning to silence, Feng Ling put down the wine glass that she barely drank and put it aside. She then glanced at the red wine glass tower in front of her. After making sure that everyone got the wine from there and that there was no problem after drinking it, she went over and picked up another glass to put it in her hand, in case anyone came to give her a glass of wine. If she did it in the name of respect, she wouldn’t be able to refuse.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket. Feng Ling took it out and saw that it was from Qin Shuke. “Is everything all right?”

It was 7:30 p.m. now.

There was still half an hour before 8:00 p.m. Feng Ling had mentioned, but Qin Shuke was so worried that she couldn’t sit still.

Feng Ling smiled and made a call. After reporting her safety, she said that everything would go according to plan. After all, tonight wouldn’t be so simple. However, she didn’t know much about these methods. She didn’t know if she was overthinking or if something would really happen. In short, she had to be careful.

After hanging up the phone, she suddenly heard a commotion at the door. Feng Ling turned around and saw a man in his sixties walking in. After listening to the whispers of several people, she realized that this was a famous big shot in the financial world of the Fifth Avenue of Washington. He was the idol of many young entrepreneurs. Feng Ling was not familiar with him. In her eyes, her idol in the business world was her mentor, Mr. Zand.

The big boss had two young and beautiful women by his side. They seemed to be around the same age as his granddaughter, and the two women were hugging his arms from both sides.

Feng Ling didn’t plan to go over. She was about to look away when suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar tall figure.

Her heart skipped a beat. When she fixed her eyes on him, it was as though she had been struck by lightning. She stood rooted to the ground.

The man was not as tall and handsome as he usually was in his black uniform. His suit was well-ironed, and his figure was tall and straight. He was handsome and noble, but there was a cold smile on his face that kept people at arm’s length. His distant and cold posture did not reveal any arrogance. Instead, it brought with it a kind of indifference and laziness after experiencing the ups and downs of life. It made him look cold, distant, and especially charming.

Thus, even though he intentionally chose to appear after the big boss of the financial world, he still attracted the attention of everyone present.

However, he clearly did not like these stares. He glanced at them indifferently. Even when the male assistant said something to him, he turned a deaf ear.

Yu Zheng could not understand why CEO Li would agree to CEO E’s invitation to a dinner party.

The moment Li Nanheng entered, Feng Ling looked away.

It was Li Nanheng.

Qin Shuke had been stopped by her once. She definitely wouldn’t call him to inform him of this matter.

In other words, Li Nanheng was one of the candidates invited today.

It made sense. The Li Corporation’s position in the American Chinese community was almost equal to Mr. Mo’s Shine Group. In addition, they had the XI Base behind them. They were an existence that the underworld didn’t dare to provoke. Although Li Nanheng had left the base, his reputation was still there. This time, the Li Corporation, who had never participated in these small projects, would throw out an olive branch. These people would definitely try their best to curry favor with him. Such an invitation naturally wouldn’t leave him behind.

But did he know she was here?

He clearly knew what the bet she had made with him was, yet he still came here to snatch the investment from her. Did he really want to keep that billion in his pocket?

However, Feng Ling suddenly realized that she seemed to have tripped herself up. In this case, if Li Nanheng appeared to compete with her every time there was a competition, she would only have a thirty percent chance of getting an investment. After all, he should be the one that the investors should fawn over. As long as he nodded, who would dare to refuse?

At that time, she had only thought about not letting the forces behind him finance him, but had neglected the Li Corporation’s position in the business world. Now, just by looking at Li Nanheng’s appearance, she could tell that her chances of winning were very small.
