Chapter 10 : Owner of the Black Card

Director Liu was dressed in a sharp suit, exuding an imposing aura, with Liu Zhenzhen standing beside him, sobbing. Half of Liu Zhenzhen's face was still swollen, barely concealed by foundation. Director Liu's eyes were filled with anger as he raised his head high. "Dare to hit the daughter of Liu Zhenan? I'll give you one minute. Slap yourself ten times and then get out of the banquet hall!" Slap! Slap... The ten slaps were particularly crisp, all landing on Liu Zhenan's face. He had terrible luck, encountering Chen Qingzhi at his most displeased moment. Liu Zhenzhen screamed in fear, while Liu Zhenan was left dazed from the beating. When he stood up, Chen Qingzhi had already coldly walked out through the side door. "Come, someone!" Liu Zhenan shouted. The black-clad security guards around remained motionless, while a few of Liu's henchmen quickly ran over and helped their leader up. Liu Zhenan was furious. How could he be publicly slapped in the face by a ruffian at the Merchant Alliance banquet? With his clan members, he angrily rushed towards the side door. Chen Qingzhi stood with his hands behind his back, holding the golden jade invitation, silently watching the lights under the night sky. Liu Zhenzhen screamed and was about to confront the guy right then and there. But Liu Zhenan's eyes flickered. "Hold on, Zhenzhen." He sneered, "Chen Qingzhi, do you know the consequences of offending our Liu family in Hanzhou? I warn you..." "Get lost!" Chen Qingzhi interrupted him with a single word! However, Liu Zhenan menacingly threatened, "Kid, I'll give you a chance now. Hand over the invitation to our Liu family. I'll spare your life!" The golden jade invitation, the chief and foremost! Liu Zhenzhen also realized the situation. Although she was still unhappy, she knew that having the invitation was more valuable. She added, "And your wife's evening gown, hand it over too!" Hmph, is the face of the Liu family really that precious? Chen Qingzhi looked at the invitation in his hand and felt a sudden loss of interest. Wan Ying wasn't here, so what was the point of this invitation? He simply threw the invitation on the ground. Ignoring their image, the father and daughter frantically reached for the golden jade invitation on the ground. Returning to the banquet hall, Liu Zhenzhen immediately spotted the evening gown left behind by Su Wan Ying. She grinned in delight. "Dad, that wretched woman is scared. In the end, she's not worthy of this dress." Liu Zhenzhen quickly changed into the Magic Queen's evening gown in the back and when she reappeared, she indeed attracted the attention of all the men in the room. Liu Zhenan held the golden jade invitation and sat contentedly in the front row. Chen Qingzhi, who saw this scene from afar, curled his lips. "I'm afraid your Liu family won't be able to sit still in this position." Disdainfully turning around, he prepared to leave. But suddenly, a familiar figure flashed before his eyes, a beautiful figure outlined by a simple dress. Was it Wan Ying? She had come back? Chen Qingzhi quickly walked towards the door. Su Wan Ying didn't know why she had come back. Perhaps it was because the cold wind outside had calmed her down, or maybe she was worried about that ruffian man. But as soon as she returned, she regretted it because she encountered someone she didn't want to see. A handsome man walked towards her from the opposite direction, waving from afar. "Wan Ying, what a coincidence to meet you here." This person was her senior in college, Yang Guanjie, whom she had secretly admired. He was known as the rising star of the financial world and had become a high-ranking executive of the Hanzhou branch of the Golden Sparrow Bank after studying abroad. A talented individual with a bright future! Su Wan Ying lowered her head and forced a reluctant smile. "Senior, hello." Yang Guanjie sighed softly. "Wan Ying, you've become even more beautiful. I heard you were sad for a long time when you got married." Su Wan Ying felt extremely embarrassed, thinking about her useless ruffian husband and comparing him to the elegant senior. The feeling was indescribable. Yang Guanjie seemed to understand something as he looked at the charming Su Wan Ying, his eyes filled with desire. "Wan Ying, what you need is a man who can truly take care of you, not a useless freeloader. After the banquet, come have a drink with me." A blatant invitation. Su Wan Ying was about to refuse immediately, but she heard a seductive laughter from beside her. In a red evening gown swaying, the gemstones on it shimmering under the lights, Liu Zhenzhen enjoyed the attention of the entire room and appeared in front of Su Wan Ying. "Heh, it didn't take long for you to start seducing men again?" Liu Zhenzhen sneered. "Su Wan Ying, you're really funny. Are you that desperate? It's no wonder your useless husband can't satisfy you." Su Wan Ying looked at the senior, hoping he would say something to help. But Yang Guanjie was fixated on the evening gown Liu Zhenzhen was wearing, his eyes filled with shock. This top-tier evening gown was custom-made through the Golden Sparrow Bank! And as a high-ranking executive of the bank, Yang Guanjie knew very well that the owner of this custom-made gown must possess at least ten Golden Sparrow Black Cards, all of them the top-tier Cloud Pattern Black Gold Cards! What did that mean? Just one Golden Sparrow Black Card was enough to become the bank's most prestigious VIP customer. Once he acquired such a customer, his position in the bank would skyrocket! Yang Guanjie's breathing became rapid as he bowed respectfully. "May I ask who this beautiful lady is?" Liu Zhenzhen proudly replied, "The Liu family of Hanzhou, have you heard of us?" Yang Guanjie suddenly realized that she was the daughter of the prestigious Liu family, no wonder she could become the owner of a black card. He flattered her with a lowered posture. "This evening gown represents the honor of a queen. It truly exudes elegance on Miss Liu." Liu Zhenzhen was pleased to be praised by this man. "Hey handsome, I see you don't have a seat yet, right? I'm in the front row, I'll reward you with a seat later." Damn, the front row, this is too perfect! Yang Guanjie hurriedly followed behind her, completely ignoring Su Wan Ying, not even sparing her a glance. Su Wan Ying couldn't believe that this was the senior she had once secretly admired. The charming prince on a white horse? It was so laughable. And so ridiculous. When Yang Guanjie revealed his true nature and displayed that nauseating attitude, she was completely awakened. Compared to that, her husband at least had some integrity. He could stand up for her without hesitation in crucial moments! Behind her, Chen Qingzhi's laughter came. "Liu Zhenzhen is too fat. That dress on her makes her look like a little pumpkin." Su Wan Ying almost burst out laughing. She deliberately put on a stern face and looked at Chen Qingzhi. "This place is so boring. Let's go." Chen Qingzhi handed her a glass of juice and chuckled softly. "Don't be in a hurry. There's a good show coming up. Let's watch it before we leave."
