After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

Just then, a soft female voice sounded from the other end:

"Mayor Wang, Patriarch Cheng, hello both of you."

Wang Ziyue spoke with a smile.

Wang Hong didn't even turn his head, just snorted coldly, refusing to even glance at her.

He had already spotted Wang Ziyue and her family when he looked around, but he hadn't wanted to talk to them. He didn't expect them to come up to him on their own initiative!

Seeing this, Wang Ziyue's face flushed red, and she looked extremely embarrassed. She had thought she could ease the tension, but instead, she was met with another cold shoulder...

With most of the guests present, Murong Hai, holding a microphone, stepped onto the stage as the host of the banquet.

"Good evening, distinguished guests. Thank you all very much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend tonight's banquet. I, Murong Hai, would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all. Thank you!"

With that, Murong Hai bowed deeply to the audience.

clap clap.

The guests applauded, giving Murong Hai a lot of face.

"This project is of great significance and involves a wide range of areas. I, Murong Hai, am far from capable of undertaking such a heavy responsibility. Therefore, I presume that everyone here already knows that the leader of this banquet is someone else!"

"That's right, next, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Young Master Nangong Qing from the Jinghai Nangong family!"

Murong Hai's voice rose, and he stepped aside, clearing the entire banquet stage for him.

This time, the applause was several times louder than before. Everyone present stood up and clapped enthusiastically, creating a thunderous roar.

Everyone present was a leader in their respective fields, surpassing the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Jiangnan City to achieve their current status and everything they had.

But the higher you stand, the more fear you feel.

The name "Nangong" weighed down on everyone like a mountain, making it hard for them to breathe!

Establishing contact with Nangong Qing is the most important and rarest opportunity today!

Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, Nangong Qing, dressed in a dark blue suit, walked unhurriedly to the center of the banquet stage.

All the lights around the stage shone on the center of the stage at the same time, while the darkness of the night enveloped the faces of everyone else present.

Everyone else was in darkness, but Nangong Qing was in the light.

It was as if the whole world should revolve around him!

"As expected of the young master of the Nangong family, such demeanor and appearance are truly beyond our reach in a lifetime..."

"With his elegant demeanor and extraordinary handsomeness, the young master of the Nangong family is indeed far superior to the average talented young men from wealthy families."

A murmur of discussion arose from the crowd, and even Wang Ziyue seemed somewhat taken aback, as if she was attracted by Nangong Qing's extraordinary demeanor.

Such a man is truly a chosen one of heaven in this world!

However, after going on stage, Nangong Qing held the microphone but did not say a word.

He completely ignored them, leaving everyone present feeling neglected.

When his gaze swept across the main table and landed on each person at the table, it made them feel extremely nervous.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed that the seat at the main table without a nameplate was empty!

How could that be? Didn't the master come?!

Nangong Qing's heart clenched instantly, and an anxious expression appeared on his face.

This scene was naturally captured by the guests present.

"What's wrong with Young Master Nangong? Why does his expression suddenly become so anxious?"

"Why isn't Young Master Nangong speaking? His gaze keeps darting around the arena, as if he's looking for someone. But haven't all the distinguished people in the arena already appeared?!"

"..."

The next moment, Nangong Qing's gaze swept to the corner, and upon seeing that familiar figure, his tense expression instantly eased, and a smile slowly curved his lips.

He picked up the microphone, regained his composure, and fixed his gaze on the figure, slowly speaking:

"The fact that today's project was successful and that tonight's banquet was held has nothing to do with me!"

Before the audience could express their surprise, Nangong Qing continued, "All of this is because of a person who has made great contributions. Now, I would like to invite this distinguished guest, whom even my grandfather admires to the extreme, to the stage!"

"There are actually such people, who even the head of the Nangong family treats with respect?"

"Jiangnan City is indeed full of hidden talents; we are truly fortunate today!"

The guests exclaimed in admiration, their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Nangong Qing immediately walked off the stage, and the lights followed his movement, slowly finding a corner.

A man dressed in extremely casual and simple clothes sat there quietly.

"Sir, please take your seat in the VIP section!"

Nangong Qing bent down voluntarily, his tone extremely sincere.

All eyes immediately focused on him, and they saw the man's face clearly.

"Chen Yun?!"

Wang Ziyue stood there, stunned, as if she had been petrified!

"How is this possible? Chen Yun is actually the important figure that Young Master Nangong mentioned!"

Beside her, Zhao Liping was equally shocked and incredulous, standing there dumbfounded, her lips trembling, her finger pointing shakily at Chen Yun, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Wang Zishan felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if his soul was slowly floating up into the sky.

The Wang family members were all completely blank-minded and unable to think for a long time.

How can this be?

He's clearly a good-for-nothing son-in-law who was just kicked out of the Wang family, how could he possibly transform into the important figure that Young Master Nangong is talking about?!

This guy just got out of prison; he was still a prisoner!

A mix of emotions welled up inside me: surprise, fear, shock.

However, a very obvious question arises: if Chen Yun's previous invitation was forged, why is he here now? And why is he able to sit in the venue unharmed?

Unfortunately, the Wang family had completely lost their minds. They dared not consider the possibility that Chen Yun was indeed a big shot—because they had already done far too many disgusting things!

Chen Yun could never be a big shot!

Zhao Liping and Wang Zishan were screaming and roaring wildly in their hearts.

Below the banquet stage, Murong Tian's lips twitched uncontrollably.

He never imagined that Chen Yun, who seemed so ordinary in every way, would be the important person Nangong Qing was talking about!

Memories flashed before his eyes like scenes from an old movie. Murong Tian recalled all sorts of provocations and boastful words he had made to Chen Yun, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body, completely soaking his back!

regret!

Unparalleled regret surged through Murong Tian's heart like a tidal wave.

Why was Murong Tian so foul-mouthed back then?!

Just to show off in front of a woman like Wang Ziyue, he actually kept provoking Chen Yun?!
