The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Chapter 325 Could it be that he came uninvited?

Qi Wan said, "We did have some suspicions about you, after all, you were seen in the same place as the mall before. However, because you were too high-profile, they didn't have much time to suspect anything before they shifted their attention."

Ruan Mianmian felt relieved after hearing this, and then asked, "Doesn't the international community value anti-gravity technology a lot?"

“We value it very much,” Qi Wan said. “The technology is so advanced that the whole world is envious, but of course, they are also very afraid. Currently, many intelligence personnel have been mobilized.”

Ruan Mianmian nodded knowingly and didn't ask any more questions.

Such a mature anti-gravity technology can indeed keep countries up at night.

If anti-gravity can be used in vehicles, it can certainly be used in weapons. If it were used in weapons, how powerful would it be?

Just thinking about this problem is enough to make all countries sweat.

Ruan Mianmian could also sense that even someone as strong as America had recently started speaking in a soft and gentle voice.

Seeing that Ruan Mianmian was about to end the conversation, Qi Wan said, "Old Master Zhang's birthday is in a few days, you have to attend."

“No problem, just remind me when the time comes.” Ruan Mianmian nodded.

Doing so would let the world know that she and the Zhang family were indeed closely related, which would further dispel America's suspicions about her.

Ruan Mianmian agreed, and seeing that Qi Wan hesitated, she asked, "Is there anything else?" It was really strange that Qi Wan was embarrassed.

Qi Wan said, "From the outside, it seems that you have received too much from the Zhang family. We are worried that people will think that you are taking advantage of their kindness and are greedy. So we are considering whether to create the illusion that you are in a relationship with the most outstanding young person in the Zhang family."

In other words, it's pretending to be in a relationship.

Without saying a word, Ruan Mianmian waved her hand and said, "No need."

Why doesn't she have time to lie in bed and play on her phone? Why pretend to be in a relationship with a guy?

The thought of going out to dinner or on a date with a man she didn't know or liked made Ruan Mianmian feel uncomfortable all over.

"Since you have no intention of doing this, let's just let it go." Qi Wan nodded.

A few days later, it was the birthday banquet of the Zhang family patriarch.

It was springtime, the flowers were in full bloom, and the temperature was pleasantly cool, just slightly chilly.

Ruan Mianmian attended the birthday banquet wearing clothes designed by domestic masters and jewelry made by domestic masters.

The old man of the Zhang family obtained the special medicine by spending money—meaning he had some connection with Ruan Mianmian. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to obtain the special medicine even by spending money. Therefore, when he met Ruan Mianmian this time, he was very kind and friendly, treating her like a junior.

This evoked mixed feelings among the many celebrities attending the birthday party, with some feeling envious and others jealous.

Gu Bei gripped his wine glass tightly, gazing at Ruan Mianmian from afar, who seemed to be glowing, but he didn't have the courage to go up and speak to her.

Every time he recalled how he had looked down on Ruan Mianmian, he felt ashamed and didn't dare to see her, let alone have the courage to speak to her.

As the birthday party drew to a close, Zhou Yan'an finally managed to sneak in.

Recently, the old lady Anxin joined forces with other shareholders, putting him under a lot of pressure and making things very difficult for him.

Although he had yelled at Grandma Anxin more than once, calling her crazy, saying she was trying to force him, her own son, to his death, and trying to ruin her company, Grandma Anxin still did as she pleased, and seemed determined to kick him out of the company.

He spent half his life securing his position as the company's largest shareholder, and since this was the company he depended on for his livelihood, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his demise.

However, the Su family, with whom he has always had a good relationship, has recently been very unlucky and has been targeted by many companies. They are unable to help him, and he has no other choice but to come here to try his luck.

Ruan Mianmian felt incredibly bored. She had finally made it to the end and was about to leave when she saw Zhou Yan'an come in from outside. She smiled and went up to him, saying, "Mr. Zhou, what brings you here at this hour? Could it be that you've come uninvited?"

She said this only to mock Zhou Yan'an, because no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't believe that someone could sneak into someone else's banquet hall.

After saying this, seeing the unnatural expression on Zhou Yan'an's face, Ruan Mianmian was shocked: "Really?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I did come with an invitation, but I was late." Zhou Yan'an said, pulling the invitation out of his suit pocket and flashing it in front of Ruan Mianmian. Without waiting for Ruan Mianmian's reply, he quickly left.

Ruan Mianmian had never attended such a banquet before and didn't know what wealthy people did. Seeing that Zhou Yan'an's words made sense, she instinctively believed him.

However, Zhou Yan'an's tense expression and slightly unnatural gait when he brushed past her were quite suspicious.

After a moment's thought, Ruan Mianmian turned back and found Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law: "Was Zhou Yan'an also invited to this birthday banquet?"

Originally, this was just a small matter, but Ruan Mianmian thought of Zhou Yan'an's disgusting face towards her back then, and knew that Zhou Yan'an was a person who cared a lot about his reputation, so she decided to make Zhou Yan'an lose face completely over such a small matter.

She would never forget that Zhou Yan'an disliked her because her brain had been damaged by being beaten, and wanted her to follow Su Jingchen without any status or identity, and have children for Su Jingchen.

Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law, who was in charge of the birthday banquet, knew the invited guests very well and said, "No, Mr. Zhou Yan'an was not invited this time."

She's not mentally unstable, so why would she invite Zhou Yan'an, who is clearly at odds with Ruan Mianmian?

Ruan Mianmian looked at Zhou Yan'an, who was talking to someone not far away, and smiled: "That's really strange, Mr. Zhou Yan'an actually came uninvited."

Upon hearing this, Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law immediately understood what Ruan Mianmian meant.

However, considering it was her father-in-law's birthday banquet, she hesitated.

If things really escalate, Zhou Yan'an will certainly lose face, but her father-in-law will also look bad.

Seeing that Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law had a faint smile on her face but didn't say anything, Ruan Mianmian asked, "What, aren't you going to deal with it?"

The Zhang family covered for her because she owed them a favor, but she and the country gave the Zhang family a lot. A simple calculation shows that the Zhang family definitely made a profit, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to do some harmless little things.

Since Ruan Mianmian had asked such a question, Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law naturally couldn't ignore it, so she immediately smiled and said, "Of course it needs to be dealt with." After saying that, she turned around and went to find the security guard.

Zhou Yan'an brazenly greeted the important figure he usually couldn't reach, then steered the conversation to the company's products, hoping to pique the other party's interest and persuade them to cooperate with his company.

As he spoke, his eyes quickly swept across the room, convinced that he would find new partners today and solidify his position in the company.

Before he could even feel happy, two security guards appeared in front of him, polite and gentle but with firm voices: "Excuse me for disturbing you, Mr. Zhou, would you mind showing us your invitation?"

For this birthday banquet, bigwigs don't need invitations; only bosses whose status isn't high enough to be recognized at a glance need them.
