"..."
There was a moment of silence around.
Not only did the smiles on the few young men’s faces gradually freeze, but even Master Zhong dropped his chopsticks in shock.
Only Ying Zijin remained calm, sipping her juice.
She raised her other hand and effortlessly caught the falling chopsticks, placing them back on Master Zhong’s chopstick holder: "Grandpa, be careful."
Master Zhong was still utterly bewildered.
The true owner of Han Pavilion was always a mystery.
There were only two Han Pavilions in the entire Hua Country, one in Shanghai City and one in the Imperial Capital.
The food and service standards of Han Pavilion were no less than any Michelin Three-Star Restaurant, and even far exceeded them.
Even for powerful families like the Mu family or the Nie family in the Imperial Capital, they had to make reservations in advance to dine at Han Pavilion; no exceptions.
Han Pavilion did not recognize social status.
Everyone wanted to know who had such great influence.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyelids indifferently: "Get these people out. They’re annoying."
The few young men instantly broke out in cold sweat: "Seventh Young Master, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Fu Yunshen, how did he become the boss of Han Pavilion?!
They actually said those things in front of the boss?
The manager’s kindly gaze was like a slap to their faces.
Pale-faced, they left, soaked in cold sweat.
It was at this moment that the few young men realized.
Even if Fu Yunshen was removed from his position by the Venus Group, he was beyond their reach.
The dining table remained silent.
"Damn it!" Nie Chao, after his initial shock, turned angry: "I say, Seventh Young Master, you’re not playing fair! What did you say when I asked you back then?"
"You said people at Han Pavilion judge by appearances and that’s why you got in. I almost believed you!"
After hearing that Venus Group had removed Fu Yunshen as the president of the Asia-Pacific Region, he hurried over from the Imperial Capital to comfort him, even disregarding the Nie Family Company.
Who knew this bastard man didn’t need comfort at all?
A waste of his feelings.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyelashes slowly, giving him a glance: "You remember something from two years ago so clearly?"
"Of course I remember." Nie Chao was speechless, "That was the first time I met with the big boss. Isn’t that right, big boss?"
The last four words were directed at Ying Zijin.
"Yeah, I remember too." Ying Zijin supported her chin and raised an eyebrow: "You see, I have no power or influence, what if––"
Before she could finish, her chin was suddenly lifted, and a cool touch fell on her lips.
Soft, like cotton candy.
Then, there was a gentle bite.
With a hint of punishment.
Fu Yunshen sighed helplessly and laughed lightly: "No more talking, I admit defeat, hmm?"
Ying Zijin turned her head away: "It depends on your performance."
Nie Chao, being the closest, just wanted to gouge out his eyes.
"Grandpa." Ying Tianlv couldn’t stand it: "Look at him, broad daylight, no decency, aren’t you going to stop him?"
Who was it that said if a brat dared to take Ying Zijin away, they’d break his legs?
Master Zhong chuckled: "What’s wrong? It’s just a kiss. I’d be happy if they got married now, then I could hold my great-grandchild."
After saying that, his face immediately hardened: "Shut up, have you found a partner? Shameful!"
Ying Tianlv: "..."
He shouldn’t have talked.
Master Zhong remembered something important: "Boy Fu, you mentioned your company earlier?"
"My company?" Fu Yunshen raised his eyelashes lazily, "Grandpa, I’m truly broke right now, I don’t have any company."
Master Zhong couldn’t bear it: "It’s okay, it’s okay, I said it, Grandpa will support you."
"Grandpa, don’t mind him, he likes to tease people." Ying Zijin slapped Fu Yunshen’s hand away, "He just didn’t want to manage the Asia-Pacific Region anymore. If it wasn’t impossible, he was planning to pass the position of Venus Group’s Executive Director to someone else."
"..."
The dining table fell silent once again.
Ying Tianlv was slightly stunned: "Venus Group’s Executive Director?!"
Nie Chao screamed heart-wrenchingly again.
He grabbed Fu Yunshen’s shoulders frantically: "How did you become the Executive Director again, and not tell your brothers?"
"Paws off," Fu Yunshen glanced at him, "I didn’t hide it; didn’t Nie Yi tell you?"
"My brother is okay as long as he doesn’t hit me." Nie Chao scratched his head, "By the way, where did my brother go? To the Ancient Martial World?"
Fu Yunshen’s eyes darkened slightly: "The War-Torn Region has been quite chaotic recently; he went to support them."
Nie Chao muttered: "My old man is going to be worried again."
Every time Nie Yi went to the War-Torn Region, he came back with injuries.
Old Master Nie cared for him deeply and didn’t want him to go.
But Nie Yi said it was his duty and Old Master Nie couldn’t convince him otherwise, so he had to let him go.
After the meal, Master Zhong silently stood up.
He patted the girl’s shoulder and spoke lowly: "Zijin, no matter where you are, you will always be my granddaughter, you can come back to the Zhong Family in the future."
Ying Zijin’s eyelashes fluttered, warning: "Don’t move, be serious."
"Okay, won’t move."
He stepped back, raised both hands lazily: "I’ll penalize myself by meditating."
"..."

Early the next morning.
Ian tidied up his tasks as quickly as possible and left the headquarters building.
On his way out, he bumped into a beaming Joseph.
Joseph’s attitude was still respectful, specially greeting: "Director Ian."
Ian ignored him, holding back his anger.
He arrived at the agreed location with Ying Zijin and saw a massive helicopter, feeling bewildered.
Ying Zijin put on a baseball cap, lifted her chin, and said without a word: "Get on the helicopter."
Three hours later, the helicopter landed at Jade Ice Cui.
Ian was baffled, following the girl all the way.
Until they arrived at an ancient castle.
"What are we doing at Lorentz Castle?" Ian lowered his voice, "Sister-in-law, this is like walking into a trap."
The only similarity between Venus Group and Lorentz Bank is that they’re both very wealthy.
But indeed, they are like water and fire.
Every time Ian thought about Venus Group investing two billion in the Cosmic Carrier project just to compete with Lorentz Bank, he felt like coughing up blood.
During Venus Group’s rise, Lorentz Family also suppressed them; though not as fiercely as the Four Great Financial Groups of Europe.
Still, Lorentz Family certainly doesn’t get along with Venus Group.
Only occasionally for temporary benefits, they choose to cooperate.
Ying Zijin said nothing, leading Ian inside.
Unobstructed.
Finally arriving at an open-air garden restaurant.
Ying Zijin put one hand in her pocket, her voice cold and slow: "Xize, let’s talk business."
Ian was stupefied.
He hadn’t recovered from Ying Zijin’s easy entry into Lorentz Castle, when he heard that name.
Which Xize?
A young man with golden, dazzling hair, a handsome profile, well-defined features, like the Sun God Apollo.
He was speaking on the phone while turning his head.
