The scumbag Bai Lianhua was abused, and Li Shao specifically asked to marry her
Chapter 382 Gathering of the Elite
As dusk settles;
The dazzling crystal chandelier illuminated the luxurious banquet hall, making it look like a dream.
The champagne tower shimmered alluringly under the lights, melodious violin music filled the air, and guests were dressed in suits and formal wear.
This grand banquet hosted by Wang's Pharmaceutical was undoubtedly the focus of social circles, with elites from all walks of life gathering together. Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, undercurrents were stirring.
Although no one knew why an invitation to what was originally a gathering for the pharmaceutical industry had been sent to the entire capital, there was no time to think about it at the moment.
If the introduction of this cancer drug is successful, it will greatly enhance the Wang family's reputation in the capital, and various noble and wealthy families will also have their eyes on this lucrative opportunity.
After all, birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural course of life.
Compared to competition in the industry, or the money and power in one's hands, all are based on good health. Therefore, Wang is now a highly sought-after person in everyone's eyes, and everyone is thinking about how to curry favor with her.
Shen Tiantian prides herself on being a social butterfly. In R country, she often attends various banquets, so she is never intimidated by any grand occasion. Besides, she is one of the main characters today.
Walking beside Wang Shuwei through the crowd, a perfectly timed smile played on her lips, but her eyes kept glancing toward the doorway.
Today, Shen Tiantian wore a custom-made backless evening gown. Her exquisite makeup made her already well-shaped features even more charming and beautiful. Her wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders, exuding a captivating aura.
She moved gracefully among the wealthy and powerful, speaking with poise and behaving with impeccable manners, completely on par with anyone else.
Those who came by invitation flattered and fawned over Shen Tiantian and Wang Shuwei, but it was all for their own benefit and to gain more attention.
Besides the distinguished dignitaries, many media reporters were also present.
Shen Tiantian was also very careful about her every move. When she was interviewed by the media or reporters, her words were full of praise for her "outstanding contributions" to the development of this drug, and her eyes gleamed with greed and vanity.
This drug was originally imported from Country R, but it was claimed to be the result of joint research and development by Wang's Pharmaceutical's core team and experts from Country R.
Representatives from those so-called R&D team members were also present today, dressed in formal attire, moving among the crowd, receiving congratulations and praise from all sides, their faces beaming with pride and joy.
Apart from Shen Zhuqing, no one noticed Shen Tiantian's expectant look.
Knowing what she was thinking, Shen Zhuqing felt even more contempt and disdain.
The banquet hall doors slowly opened;
Su Mengyan stepped in like a dazzling star, exuding an aura that could not be ignored.
Her posture was as upright as a pine tree, her steps were steady and confident, and every step seemed to resonate with everyone's heartstrings.
In contrast to Shen Tiantian's elaborate attire, Su Mengyan wore a well-tailored white suit, simple yet elegant, with smooth lines that accentuated her graceful figure.
Her high ponytail made her look more capable and energetic, while a few strands of hair casually fell beside her cheeks, adding a touch of casualness and freedom.
The guests' attention was instantly drawn to her, and the once lively banquet hall gradually quieted down.
Those who had been fawning over Shen Tiantian couldn't help but shift their gaze from her to the eldest daughter of the Su family.
When Shen Tiantian saw Su Mengyan walk into the banquet hall, a flash of jealousy instantly crossed her eyes.
She was originally standing in the center of the banquet hall, like a proud peacock, receiving praise and adulation from everyone.
But all of that was shattered by Su Mengyan's appearance.
Jealousy burned like a raging fire in her eyes; she could not bear anyone being more dazzling or more eye-catching than her.
What's more, this person is Su Mengyan.
Shen Tiantian subconsciously straightened her back, trying to use her posture to cover up her inner resentment.
However, she quickly suppressed this jealousy, replacing it with a look of disdain and contempt.
Especially when you see that Su Mengyan is accompanied by a short-haired girl.
Her attire was very ordinary, all in black, which made her stand out starkly against the other women present who were dressed in formal and glamorous attire.
She slightly raised her chin, a mocking smile curving her lips, and deliberately raised her voice, saying, "It is truly an honor for Miss Su to grace us with her presence amidst her busy schedule."
Su Mengyan showed no anger or displeasure upon hearing Shen Tiantian's words.
She merely glanced at Shen Tiantian indifferently, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if she hadn't noticed the sarcasm in her words.
"With Wang's Medicine making such a big fuss, I, as the head of the Medicine Pavilion, must come and join in the fun!"
She only mentioned Wang's Pharmaceuticals without mentioning Shen Tiantian at all, which made Shen Tiantian feel that she was doing it on purpose.
She was trying to embarrass herself, and not only that, she also emphasized her identity as the head of the Medicine Pavilion.
Even so, it's impossible to argue with them openly, since the Medicine Pavilion's position in the capital and even globally is irreplaceable.
At present, Wang's Pharmaceuticals has only just gained some fame in the capital, and this anti-cancer drug has not yet been launched on the market. At this point, it is even more unacceptable for her to act recklessly.
But deep down, she still held a grudge against Su Mengyan.
Not daring to confront her directly, Shen Tiantian changed the subject and focused her attention on the person who came with Su Mengyan.
He spoke in a condescending tone: "Miss Su's companion looks somewhat unfamiliar. May I ask which family's daughter she is? But isn't her attire a bit disrespectful to me, the host of this banquet?"
Su Mengyan did not respond immediately. She walked steadily toward the center of the banquet hall, as if Shen Tiantian's words did not exist.
But when he passed by Shen Tiantian, he slowed down and spoke in a low voice.
Who is she? Perhaps you dare not know!
Shen Tiantian's smile froze instantly after Su Mengyan's words, which had been shining brightly.
Looking at the woman again, he couldn't place her in his memory any powerful or influential family.
But Su Mengyan certainly wouldn't say those words for no reason. Shen Tiantian opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound.
She felt her mind go blank, completely unsure how to deal with the powerful woman in front of her.
The surrounding guests also noticed the change in atmosphere and quieted down, their gazes shifting back and forth between Su Mengyan and Shen Tiantian.
Finally, Wang Shuwei, the true host of the banquet, arrived late.
