"Little beggar, always crying, nya nya nya!"
The chubby kid stuck out his tongue at Ling Xiaoran, making a funny face with a triumphant look.
Guo Ju sneered, "Heh, it's too late to be scared now. Pretty boy, get on your knees immediately! And you two little sluts, all of you kneel! Today, I'm going to slap your mouths until they're swollen!"
A group of people behind Guo Ju kept flattering her, bolstering her presence.
But just then, a chilling voice came from behind them.
"Big Brother, I have something to report!"
It was Yang Fei's voice.
However, Yang Fei's voice carried a chilling coldness that made everyone around tremble involuntarily.
As they turned, he had already walked in.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier around him. Anyone within two steps of him was repelled!
"Speak!"
Ling Feng's anger burned like fire; he had no interest in wasting any words.
Moreover, he knew that Yang Fei's sudden arrival must be to report something important.
"Big Brother, many people have arrived outside, saying they are here for Miss Xiaoran's birthday. Should we let them in?" Yang Fei reported with a bow.
Ling Feng's pupils contracted slightly. Although Yang Fei didn't mention the names or identities of those people, anyone who could find out about Xiaoran's birthday was definitely no ordinary person.
Originally, he didn't want to make a big fuss and cause a mess.
He also didn't want their fawning to ruin Xiaoran's birthday.
But now, he had changed his mind.
"Let them in!"
"Yes!"
Yang Fei responded and left.
Guo Ju snorted disdainfully, "You pretty boy, you still dare to find people to celebrate this dead girl's birthday? How ridiculous! I'm telling you, I want this private room!"
"Who can a pretty boy like you call? Probably just a bunch of gigolos!"
"Haha, gigolos are still good. I'm afraid they're the kind who sell themselves, haha..."
"Boss Huang is right. Isn't this going to be a male prostitute convention?"
...
The words from the people behind Guo Ju became increasingly unpleasant.
Just as Ling Feng was about to get angry, hurried footsteps echoed from outside, followed by a clamor.
Zhang Ningchuan frowned sharply at the sound and berated, "What's that noise outside? Can't you see Madam Guo is conducting business here? Stop them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an assistant rushed over.
"President Zhang, it's no use, I... we can't stop them?"
"Bastard, what do you mean you can't stop them? Are they coming with tanks and cannons? Even if they're coming with planes, you have to stop them!"
Zhang Ningchuan berated furiously.
Others also chimed in.
Facing the fiery gazes of everyone around, the assistant nervously said, "No, President Zhang, those who have arrived outside are... all the important figures of Hanjiang!"
"Important figures? How important?" Zhang Ningchuan furrowed his brow.
"I think I saw the newly risen construction magnate Li Youcheng, and the real estate tycoon Lin Ming. There seem to be a few others I've seen on TV..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ningchuan's eyes widened, "What did you say? Li Youcheng, Lin Ming? How could it be them?"
Exclamations erupted from the side.
"Construction magnate Li Youcheng? The one Zhong Jihua dispatched to Hanjiang to establish a branch and contracted half of Lingtian Group's Baiyanshan project for building materials?"
"How could Lin Ming come to a place like this? He made tens of billions during the previous stock market turmoil. I heard he bought a large amount of land near Baiyanshan and is developing a strategic partnership with Lingtian Group."
"Impossible, figures like these wouldn't come here. Kid, are your eyes playing tricks on you?"
As these exclamations arose, the assistant was on the verge of tears from being wronged, "No, no, I really didn't misread!"
Guo Ju's originally arrogant face turned somewhat pale. She subconsciously glanced at Ling Feng and asked with surprise, "You, you know Li Youcheng and Lin Ming?"
"No!"
Ling Feng answered curtly!
Guo Ju immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew, I knew it. How could a poor pretty boy like you know such important figures!"
Saying that, she turned back and reprimanded Zhang Ningchuan and the others, "Why are you panicking? You're all respectable people. Why are you so flustered at the slightest trouble? What kind of behavior is this?"
Zhang Ningchuan's face turned ugly at her reprimand, but he still nodded and said obsequiously, "Madam Guo is right to admonish us, to admonish us."
Guo Ju became even more arrogant upon hearing this, "Don't worry, Li Youcheng and the others are definitely not coming this way. I know this dead girl's background; her family is dirt poor. How could she invite such important figures?"
Zhang Ningchuan and the others finally relaxed a little upon hearing this.
"I heard from my old Wang that the city intends to promote him further. I guess this matter has some progress, and those people heard some news!"
Guo Ju speculated. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After all, if her husband advanced further, his power would be even greater, especially controlling the fate of these building material merchants and real estate developers. It was natural for them to come and curry favor with her.
The others were overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Congratulations, Madam Guo, congratulations!"
"This is truly great news!"
...
A group of people immediately started flattering her, afraid of falling behind.
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng's expression grew even more somber.
But just then, hurried footsteps sounded from outside.
"Make way! Make way!"
Someone directly pushed aside the group blocking the entrance, clearly displeased with those guarding the private room.
If they hadn't known Ling Feng was inside the private room, they might have even forcibly removed them.
Tang Zhao, with bloodshot eyes, charged in at the forefront.
As soon as Guo Ju saw Tang Zhao, her eyes widened in disbelief. "You, you are... President Tang?"
Tang Zhao was the biggest celebrity in Hanjiang recently; his image was everywhere on television.
How could Guo Ju not recognize him?
Let alone Tang Zhao, even Lu Youhai and the others behind him were names that resounded like thunder to these people. They recognized them at a glance.
"Tang Zhao, Guo Zhigang, Lu Youhai... they are the five directors of Lingtian Group! They've all come!" Zhang Ningchuan looked as if he had seen a ghost, but his heart was filled with excitement.
For such important figures, one usually had to make an appointment several days in advance just to meet them.
Now, five of them had arrived at once.
