Chapter 450 A Young Master From Jingdu?

Li Yan’er’s eyes gleamed with surprise. “Who are they? The girl in front looks so regal. The men around here are like stars pampering the moon.”

“I don’t know.” Xu Sheng put on a wry smile. Then he cast a glance at them and said, “Let me see. The man in the middle is called Xiao Bing, who is in charge of the underground world of Jiang City. The underground world of the three northern provinces obeys his orders.”

Li Yan’er covered her mouth with her hand and her eyes shimmered. But she also noticed that there was a woman beside Xiao Bing. She was younger and more beautiful and seemed more dignified. Li Yan’er even felt like she was inferior to her. Feeling jealous, she asked, “Who’s that woman?”

Xu Sheng smiled, “That is Xiao Bing’s girlfriend, the leader of the Ye Clan and the board leader of the Ye group. She’s called Ye Xiaoxi, the host of the feast.”

“I see.” Indeed, she could not compare to this woman. Li Yan’er then dropped her gaze to the man on Xiao Bing’s right side. This man was laughing and talking with Xiao Bing. And behind him were 5 bodyguards dressed in black shirts and black shades. They all looked imposing. Li Yan’er asked, “What about the man on his right?”

“He…” There was bewilderment in Xu Sheng’s eyes. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

But he was not the only one who did not know who that man was. Almost all of the guests did not know him. But none of them dared to neglect him. Because they all felt like this man was born to be noble. They all guessed that this man must be some high-positioned person, from his demeanor. Even Xiao Bing was very polite to him.

Then they surrounded them and greeted Xiao Bing and Ye Xiaoxi. The couple could be considered as the leader of the gangs and businesses in Jiang City. They did not dare to offend either of them.

The three of them walked to the center of the hall. The noble man turned around and said to his guards in Language R, “Wait for me outside.”

“As you say!” Then the five of them bowed and walked outside.

All the guests wondered if this man was from Country R.

This man was Zhang Qiang. He was so skilled in acting that even if he said he was a prince from a certain country, they would believe him. Xiao Bing was also stunned by his acting when they were on their way here. He did it so naturally and perfectly.

Ye Xiaoxi walked ahead of Xiao Bing and Zhang Qiang with a confident smile on her face. She looked at the guests and spoke formally, “You’re all welcome today and I’m gladdened and honored by your presence… But today I’m not here as the board leader of the Ye Group. I’m here only as your friend. I merely want all the successful businessmen in this city to have an opportunity to get to know each other. You’re all my friends and I sincerely thank you all for coming here.”

The applause was enthusiastic.

Ye Xiaoxi then continued with a smile, “As for this man standing by my side, I suppose some of you don’t know who he is… This is Mr. Xiao, my boyfriend and future husband.”

The applause was even louder this time round. Though some of them had never met Xiao Bing before, they had heard of his name. They decided that they should maintain a good relationship with both Ye Xiaoxi and Xiao Bing. After all, Xiao Bing was in control of the gangs. Xiao Bing had many properties in this city and many of them were inherited from Master Hou. So he was here not only as Ye Xiaoxi’s boyfriend. He was also a successful businessman.

Smiling, Ye Xiaoxi continued, “As for this gentleman… He’s our friend. He came from Jingdu. His name is Zhang Qiang. He is here to enjoy his vacation. The Ye Group has asked favors from the leader of his family several times. So we’re very familiar with him. When we knew he was coming here, we decided to invite him.”

Then the guests began wondering which powerful family in Jingdu had the family name “Zhang”. They had not expected that a big company like the Ye Group would ask them for a favor. But then they deemed it reasonable since the King was living in Jingdu, which meant that there were many moguls in the political area and the business community. And their family name was very common. There were many powerful families with that last name.

Ye Xiaoxi kept her smile, “Brother Qiang’s family runs big businesses in his country and other countries. And his family is gradually giving him the power to run those businesses. I won’t tell you the details. He just told me that he is here to enjoy his vacation. He doesn’t want many people to know about him…”

Ye Xiaoxi looked back at Zhang Qiang and apologized, “Brother Qiang, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

“It’s alright.” Zhang Qiang seemed to share a good relationship with Ye Xiaoxi. Besides, the Ye Family was a powerful family. It was better for him to say nothing, But he still seemed a little unhappy.

The guests were even more shocked. They had not expected Ye Xiaoxi to be concerned about this man’s feelings. They could not help wondering which family with the name “Zhang” could be so powerful. They pondered and thought there might be two or three… One of them was the entertainment magnate, and one was the magnate in the manufacturing industry and the other was the leader of the newly emerging industry. They might not have started from Jingdu or had headquarters in Jingdu, but they were all firmly connected to the city.

The entertainment magnate might not be as wealthy as the Ye Family, but they were very influential around the coastal cities. They were even connected to the local government. So it was normal for the Ye Family to ask them for favors.

The magnate of the manufacturing industry was even more powerful than the Ye Family. Two highly ranked officers in the government in Jingdu came from this family.

As for the leader of the newly emerging industry, they were one of the top ten tycoons in the Cathaysian State…

Neither of these three families were close to the guests here. Even Ye Xiaoxi needed to show them respect.

Most of them were sure Zhang Qiang was from one of these three families. But since this man did not want to say it, they decided not to ask, in case they made him angry. But they could still make friends with him.

Li Yan’er took a look at Xu Sheng, who was also stunned. She asked in a low voice, “Who is he exactly?

Xu Sheng replied in a low voice, “We should not ask since he does not want to answer.. Men from wealthy families are often aloof. I suppose he considers none of us as his equals, except for the Ye Family. He doesn’t even want to make friends with any of us.”

Li Yan’er asked in surprise, “His family is so powerful?”

“Of course. Though I don’t know which Zhang Family he came from, neither of them is less powerful than the Ye Family.”

After hearing what Xu Sheng said, Li Yan’er looked at Zhang Qiang and found only arrogance and confidence on his face. He faintly looked like Wang Xiaoming with his disposition. Coupled with his style, her eyes sparkled and she did not know what she was thinking about.

Smiling, Xiao Bing said, “Zhang Qiang, why didn’t you bring your dancing partner this time?”

Frowning, Zhang Qiang sighed, “I have said that we should not talk about it…”

“Okay.. ” Xiao Bing grinned, “There are so many beautiful women here. Don’t take my girlfriend when I am dancing with her later.”

Zhang Qiang laughed, “Don’t worry about that. I won’t take your girl.”

They did not keep their voices down when they were talking, so everyone heard their conversation. Soon they all thought this was an opportunity for them to curry favor with this man, since most of them had brought a beautiful woman with them.

Yezi smiled, “There are all kinds of snacks, delicious food and wine. Please help yourselves. Besides, we have invited the Purple Butterfly, the most famous band in the whole country, to play their music…”

Then Yezi clapped her hands. Soon a band appeared on a rising platform. Everyone was shocked because they were the top band in the whole country. One could not invite them only with money. They often performed in events held by the government. It seemed that Zhang Qiang was undoubtedly from one of those three families.

They only wondered if Zhang Qiang was from one of the three families. Now they were all very sure that Zhang Qiang was from a family that was no less powerful than the Ye Family.

But the band was not invited by them. It was through Bi Tingting. She was familiar with the band members, so she invited them to be part of Xiao Bing’s plan.

As the music began to play, the lights began shimmering. Some of them walked to the dance floor with their dancing partners, while others were drinking and talking, trying to make friends with the ones who might be beneficial to their businesses. Xiao Bing smiled at Yezi and took her to the dance floor. Zhang Qiang walked to a corner. A sexy woman approached him and held out her hands, “Brother Qiang, Can I dance with you?” She asked in a bewitching voice.”

Zhang Qiang cast a cold glance at her and said arrogantly, “I’m not interested!”
