<h4>Chapter 309: Chapter 307: Business Banquet</h4>
Celestial Sea City, State Guest Hotel.
As the name suggests, this State Guest Hotel is generally used for government officials to host foreign guests.
It is also the only ultra-six-star luxury hotel in Celestial Sea City and one of only three in all of Huaxia.
When there are no foreign visitors, it also epts national banquet bookings, but the price is so high it’s beyond imagination!
But for the Li Corporation, apparently, money isn’t an issue!
Today, the State Guest Hotel has epted a booking from the Li Corporation for a top-tier national banquet feast.
Total cost: 350 million!
A business banquet, 350 million!
In summary, this meal spent 350 million!
It was nearing midnight, but the State Guest Hotel was still brightly lit.
Under the warm light, the pure gold round and long tables with chairs appeared extremely luxurious.
Countless men and women dressed in suits and gowns were craning their necks, gathered outside the hotel entrance.
Without exception, they were small business owners unqualified to attend the banquet.
Even though they weren’t qualified, they dreamed of being casually spotted and admired by the new president of the Li Corporation, so they gathered outside the hotel.
"Hey, make way." Ye Huan, with a toothpick in his mouth, squeezed through the crowd.
These people were all in suits and gowns, and when they saw a person in a security uniform squeezing through, they were immediately displeased.
"What are you squeezing for?" someone questioned.
Instantly, the people beside Ye Huan stood their ground, using their strength to prevent him from squeezing forward.
"Oh, I’m going to the banquet, please make way."
Ye Huan’s words silenced the crowd for a second.
A secondter, a chorus of curses erupted.
"Attending the banquet? Why don’t you look in the mirror and see if you qualify?!"
"So funny, talking big without even ncing at any notes!"
"I think this kid is trying to sneak into the banquet under the guise of a security guard!"
"Damn, this kid is so scheming! But kid, let me tell you, your wish to sneak into the banquet posing as security has fallen through! The security of the State Guest Hotel has been upgraded to the highest level today, all reced by armed special police and elite guards!"
Ye Huan raised an eyebrow, looking through the gaps in the crowd toward the hotel.
Just as the person said.
Around the hotel perimeter, at the edge of the crowd of onlookers, there were hundreds of armed special police officers.
Closer to the hotel entrance was a circle of hundreds of elite guards in ck suits, wearing sunsses, their expressions solemn as they patrolled around.
"Whoa, this impressive!?" Ye Huan suddenly eximed, then asked, "What’s going on, why is the security so high today?"
"Considering you’re honest enough not to keep bragging, let me tell you!"
A man in a suit beside Ye Huan spoke with a meaningful tone, "This banquet today gathers many top entrepreneurs from home and abroad. Theirbined wealth could move half the globe, with immense influence. If anything happened to them, Huaxia would face significant pressure internationally."
"Even so, isn’t this level of security excessive?"
Ye Huan was quite puzzled, thinking it’s too much of a waste of societal resources to use so many special police and elite guards as security.
To Ye Huan’s puzzlement, the man in the suit once again showed a meaningful expression, raising his brows before saying:
"Actually, it’s no secret. The elite guards and special police aren’t mainly protecting those entrepreneurs but the host of this banquet!"
"The host of this banquet has such a big background it’s unimaginable. It’s said she’s not only the new president of the Li Corporation but also the daughter of the Special Service Bureau Director—General Ye Tiance!"
"To ensure her safety, all the hotel security personnel have been reced by armed special police and elite guards."
"Because..."
The man in the suit paused, deliberately striking a profound pose, then said: "Because she was assassinated by unknown individuals this morning, so for her safety, the security level was raised to the highest."
An attempt on her life?
The man’s words made Ye Huan’s mouth twitch.
The "spendthrift girl" he saved in the morning was the one who got attacked?
Moreover... she casually took out more than 2 billion, clearly very wealthy, clearly someone extraordinary!
Most importantly, the assassination’s location...
It happened on the G-01 highway directly from the Capital City to Celestial Sea!
And... the daughter of Ye Tiance?
That spendthrift girl was named Ye Qiqing, also with the surname Ye!
Damn!
It’s most likely that the spendthrift girl is the host of this business banquet!
But that spendthrift girl obviously has something improper in mind about me!
If she finds me attending the banquet... the consequences are unimaginable!
Ye Huan suddenly had the thought to leave.
But things didn’t go as nned.
"Ye Huan?"
A sharp female voice immediately hushed the surrounding crowd.
Zhong Qianqian, dressed in a fiery red dress, stood in the VIP passage, easily spotting Ye Huan.
Beside her was a man with a sharp visage, dressed in a costly suit quite mismatched with his looks, clearly Southeast Asian.
Zhong Qianqian’s gaze made the onlooking crowd scatter.
Simultaneously, it left Ye Huanpletely exposed in the "open air."
"What are you doing mingling with these people?" Zhong Qianqian crossed her arms, her tone questioning.
"None of your business." Ye Huan replied icily, unceremonious.
"Heh." Zhong Qianqian sneered, "Mingling with these lower-ss people, I guess you want to attend the banquet butck the qualification, right?"
Lower-ss people?
The onlookers were indignant but dared not act.
Since anyone who could pass through the VIP passage was undoubtedly a real big shot, these "small fry" didn’t dare provoke them.
Ye Huan was also displeased and coldly said, "Who said I don’t qua—"
"Such a pathetic worm, wanting to join the upper ss butcking the qualification." Zhong Qianqian’s face showed "charity," her nce toward Ye Huan filled with "pity" and "benevolence."
Then, she lifted her toe, her eyes showing an intensely yful look, "Just as well, it’s the third day, give me your answer! If you decide to work for the Zhong Family, lick my heel. In that case, I don’t mind bringing an extra pet to the banquet."
"..."
For a moment, many faces showed jealousy towards Ye Huan.
Just a lick on the heel to attend a bigwig-filled banquet and be the Zhong Family’s pet, why didn’t that opportunitye to me?
Ah!
"Smack!"
A sudden crisp p made all those who felt envy and jealousy over Ye Huan’s opportunity freeze on the spot.
It also made Zhong Qianqian fall to the ground.
"Seriously, why do some people keep barking around me?"
Ye Huan looked "perplexed."
Zhong Qianqian was stunned, pped senseless by the sudden strike.
"Ye Huan, I’m going to kill you!!" The humiliation from being pped in public made Zhong Qianqian seethe with rage, hysterically yelling after getting up, simultaneously raising her palm.
But before she could strike, her wrist was restrained by the Southeast Asian man.
The man’s expression was indifferent, his gaze ncing at Ye Huan before fixing back on the hotel’s inner area.
Zhong Qianqian understood his implication that the banquet takes priority.
Indeed, the banquet takes priority!
Ye Huan... can be killed anytime!
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Qianqian cast a nce filled with murderous intent at Ye Huan, then walked toward the inner venue with the Southeast Asian man.
She had made up her mind!
To y Ye Huan, tear him limb from limb!
An entity with no qualification to attend the banquet dared p her in public!?
Courting death!
The more she thought, the angrier she got, and Zhong Qianqian’s eyes were filled with even more murderous intent. After entering the hotel, she went to the restroom and made a phone call.
"Crow,e to the State Guest Hotel, after the banquet ends... help me kill someone!"
