354: Chapter 354: The Huang Family Attends a Banquet!
That day, Su Wanqiao was handling her daily tasks within the company.
Her recent work had been quite busy, with daily progress made in the research and development of Heavenly Medicine.
However, within the Su Corporation today… employees were fervently discussing the kiss between President Su and Lin Shuang from yesterday.
Clearly, the kiss by the company entrance from yesterday had nearly spread throughout the entire company.
Everyone was secretly speculating.
What exactly was the relationship between President Su and Lin Shuang?
But Su Wanqiao soon issued an order for employees to stop discussing the matter.
Anyone who dared to continue would have their salary docked directly!
Only then did the employees cease their discussions.
Su Wanqiao had her secretary, Ding Wei… quietly spread the message among company colleagues, letting them know that yesterday’s kiss was a ruse to deal with Feng Shunzhi.
She used this method to indirectly explain that there was nothing between her and Lin Shuang.
With the release of this news, colleagues finally dared not to gossip anymore.
Yet, in their hearts, colleagues still doubted President Su.
Even to deter a suitor, was a kiss with Lin Shuang really necessary?
This was a kiss!
Such a significant gesture of affection!
Colleagues secretly maintained a skeptical attitude toward the relationship between President Su and Lin Shuang.
But nobody dared to continue the discussion.
In the morning, Su Wanqiao chaired a meeting to study Heavenly Medicine.
In the afternoon, she also made a trip to the private hospital to visit Grandma Xu.
Grandma Xu was awake now, able to speak, but her body was still very weak and she was unable to leave the bed.
Moreover, her memory had not yet recovered, and she could not recall anything.
Even her intelligence seemed to have regressed somewhat.
Every day, aside from lying in bed eating, she just stared at the ceiling in a daze.
For the past few days, Su Wanqiao had been trying to figure out ways to help Grandma Xu recover her memory.
That afternoon, she attempted another treatment, injecting a medicine from Heavenly Medicine, but it was of no use in restoring memory.
By evening, after a busy day’s work, Su Wanqiao still had to attend the year-end business appreciation banquet.
To prepare for the banquet, around 4 p.m., she took some time out to go to the mall, buying two sets of clothes for herself and Lin Shuang.
She bought an evening gown for herself and a tuxedo for Lin Shuang.
As her personal bodyguard, Lin Shuang was required to be by her side 24 hours a day.
For tonight’s banquet, Su Wanqiao planned to take Lin Shuang with her.
After they changed into their formal attire, Lin Shuang drove… taking Su Wanqiao to the hotel for that evening’s banquet, the Jinjiang Hotel in Hai City.
This was the top hotel in all of Hai City.
During its 40 years of operation, it had hosted nearly three hundred heads of state and official members, as well as numerous wealthy merchants.
This hotel was a symbol of status and class.
The Hai City business world’s annual appreciation banquet was being held in this hotel tonight.
By five in the evening, Lin Shuang slowly pulled the Red Flag sedan to a stop in front of the hotel.
By then, the hotel entrance was already filled with rows of top-end luxury cars.
The most elite businessmen from Hai City and government officials had all arrived at the scene.
As the Red Flag sedan parked, Lin Shuang got out first, taking the initiative to open the car door for Su Wanqiao.
Today, Su Wanqiao wore a black swan evening gown, stunningly beautiful, one hundred times more so than any film actress.
She extended a jade-like hand.
Lin Shuang took her hand, escorting her out of the car.
“Brother Lin~!
You’ve arrived~!” Just then, a voice suddenly rang out not far from the hotel entrance.
Dong Yongping, the head of the Peace Society, was approaching with a face full of eagerness to greet them.
“Hmm?
You’re here too?” Lin Shuang was startled, asking in confusion.
What was Dong Yongping doing at the banquet?
Scratching his head, Dong Yongping said, “Thanks to your blessings, Brother Lin, our Peace Society is now also a well-known enterprise in Jiangnan.
I’m somewhat of a top businessman too…
So, the City Lord sent me an invitation for today.”
Hearing his explanation, Lin Shuang slowly nodded.
Having absorbed one of the four great families, the Du Family, the Peace Society now wielded enormous power in Hai City and possessed a large span of industries.
Dong Yongping could indeed be considered among the top businessmen of Hai City, qualified to attend this banquet.
“President Su, you look truly beautiful today,” Dong Yongping respectfully bowed to Su Wanqiao, the gesture filled with reverence.
Su Wanqiao nodded slowly and said, “Let’s go inside.”
Dong Yongping took the initiative to clear the way for Lin Shuang and Su Wanqiao, leading them into the hotel.
Just then, outside the hotel, a formidable line of vehicles arrived on the scene.
Their presence and arrangement caused all the merchants and luminaries at the hotel entrance to wear expressions of grave respect.
Out of the line of vehicles emerged the family head of the Huang Family, Huang Datong, escorted by countless bodyguards as he slowly disembarked.
The head of the Huang Family had also personally come to the scene?!
Seeing this sight, Su Wanqiao’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she stepped through the hotel’s entrance?
The merchants and dignitaries outside the hotel were also visibly shocked?
This?
The head of the Huang Family, one of Hai City’s four great families, had arrived too??
This year’s banquet was no simple affair!
In previous years, out of courtesy, the City Lord would also send invitations to the heads of the four great families, but they never attended such business banquets.
Because the four great families lived reclusively from the world, wishing to avoid trouble and not wanting too much contact with official figures like the City Lord.
Fearing an investigation.
But today, the head of the Huang Family had actually come to attend the banquet?
