Chapter 293 Looking Like a Human

Inside the office building, beneath the brightly lit hall, red banners, colorful balloons, and neon lights were hung.

The evening party had already begun, with staff members at the entrance welcoming invited entrepreneurs.

Chen Yang and Liu Ran got out of the car and walked towards the hall, shoulder to shoulder.

Since this was an official entrepreneur conference, Liu Ran was dressed quite formally in an off-the-shoulder, off-white evening gown, a silk scarf, and mid-heel shoes. Chen Yang had changed into a suit, looking presentable.

As they reached the entrance, a staff member immediately bowed towards Liu Ran and said, "Please come in, Ms. Liu."

Liu Ran nodded and entered the banquet with Chen Yang.

Soft music played inside the banquet hall. Guests held wine glasses and greeted each other.

On stage, the host was introducing some business deals from Da Qin Group. This time, Da Qin Group was offering fifty billion in orders to businesses in Qingzhou City, a substantial amount.

A fifty billion scale was already quite significant for a company in Qingzhou City. Even Zhou Sinian was now smiling obsequiously at Qin Minghuang, showing a hint of flattery.

Other entrepreneurs were naturally coveting the orders released by Da Qin Group.

Business was difficult these days, and many companies were just barely surviving. If they could secure an order from Da Qin Group, they wouldn't have to worry about survival for the next two years.

Chen Yang and Liu Ran walked in side by side.

As soon as Liu Ran entered the venue, she attracted a lot of attention.

"Who is that woman? She's truly beautiful."

"Hey, Old Wang, you don't even recognize her? She's Liu Ran, the entrepreneurial star of Qingzhou City, whom Zhou Sinian has been praising recently!"

"What? She's Liu Ran? The CEO of Yangyangyang Brand Design Company, Liu Ran?"

"Yes, her."

"My heavens! Yangyangyang Company has been on such a strong upward trajectory recently. I never imagined their CEO would be so stunningly beautiful."

"Who is the man next to her? Is he her husband?"

Suddenly, people around them started whispering and discussing, men staring at Liu Ran with shining eyes.

Meanwhile, the female companions in the hall looked at Liu Ran with jealousy and resentment, as she had stolen all the spotlight upon her arrival.

Chen Yang wasn't very interested in such banquets, but business development required participation.

Chen Yang casually went to a corner, picked up a drink, and started eating the pastries on the buffet, which tasted quite good.

Liu Ran, on the other hand, held her wine glass, nodding and greeting those around her, engaging in pleasantries. This way, even if they only met briefly now, they might be able to help if she encountered any difficulties in the future.

Qin Minghuang stood on the stage at the front of the banquet, surrounded by a group of people who were all bowing and fawning over him.

Qin Minghuang, with a smile on his face, insincerely appeased them.

When he saw Chen Yang and Liu Ran walk in, his eyes lit up. He knew the plan had begun to unfold. As long as she entered this hall, Liu Ran would be his woman today.

Most importantly, Liu Ran was radiant at this moment.

At this instant, Qin Minghuang found himself stirred.

He was a successful man in his forties, with wealth that could rival a nation, backed by Black Dragon Pavilion. He had never lacked women or beautiful companions since his youth.

Yet, at the moment he saw Liu Ran, he suddenly felt a surge of impulse, the primal urge of a male animal to pursue and possess.

A smile appeared on Qin Minghuang's lips as he anticipated what was to come, looking forward to the moment someone would become his woman.

After a moment's thought, Qin Minghuang walked towards Liu Ran, raising his wine glass, and said to her, "Ms. Liu, a pleasure to meet you."

Liu Ran looked at Qin Minghuang and quickly replied, "Hello, Mr. Qin. Welcome to Qingzhou City for investment."

Qin Minghuang chuckled and extended an inviting gesture, saying, "Ms. Liu, shall we go to the adjacent room to discuss matters concerning Yangyangyang Company?"

"Last time, I was too rash and sent people directly to your company to acquire it, only to be flatly rejected by you. I actually regret it."

"This time, let's talk about increasing capital and expanding shares. After all, acquisition is off the table, but perhaps I could have an opportunity to invest!"

Liu Ran chuckled and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, but our company truly has no need for funds, nor do we intend to bring in shareholders to the board."

Qin Minghuang chuckled again and said, "Ms. Liu, you are quite straightforward in your refusals. However, Da Qin Company does have some products that aren't selling well, and we'd like to discuss their subsequent sales with you."

Qin Minghuang gestured to Liu Ran and then nodded, "Please!"

The two entered a room next to the main hall. The door was open, and the room was adjacent to the hall, so there seemed to be no immediate danger.

Liu Ran, holding her wine glass, felt at ease. She sat down in the room, and then discussed with Qin Minghuang concepts regarding product sales.

Meanwhile, in the main hall.

Chen Yang was leisurely eating snacks. Suddenly, a man roughly bumped into him.

Chen Yang frowned and turned to look. The man grabbed Chen Yang's collar and shouted, "Good for you, Chen Yang, you scoundrel! Instead of working properly every day, you just come here to eat and drink for free."

"You've got some nerve, sneaking into such a high-class banquet to freeload. Do you even know who is hosting this event? As a delivery guy, do you have any right to be here?"

Chen Yang turned to look at the man and then frowned. The person berating him was the station manager of the Meituan delivery service, named Yu Gang.

Chen Yang hadn't expected to run into Yu Gang at such a banquet.

Yu Gang was just a minor delivery station manager. Although he was Chen Yang's direct superior, his position wouldn't merit an invitation to such an event. Therefore, it was highly likely that Yu Gang had been invited specifically to target him.

Chen Yang merely frowned, gave Yu Gang a cold look, and then lowered his voice, saying coldly, "Get lost, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Yu Gang's legs trembled slightly under Chen Yang's gaze.

But soon, he remembered the benefits promised by Liu Xin, and he mustered his courage again.

Yu Gang raised his voice and clapped his hands, saying, "Everyone, come and see! This Chen Yang is a delivery driver under me. He's not diligent, only completing the simplest three orders each day and then stopping.

"He enjoys the company's social security benefits but doesn't work hard. He's always coming to banquets to eat and drink for free, deceiving women, utterly shameless."

"A man like this actually dares to sneak in to eat pastries at a reception of this caliber today."

"Chen Yang, damn it, do you think by taking off your delivery uniform and putting on this suit, you can look like a respectable person? That you've become a successful individual?"

"You're hilarious. Let me tell you, get back to delivering food immediately, or I'll fire you today."
