60: Chapter 60 Bad Girl, Don't Miss It!
"Just who is this young man? To think he could make Boss Zhang act so fawningly!"
"I reckon he must be the young master of some wealthy family!"
The people at the scene kept whispering amongst themselves.
They couldn't even begin to form a concrete idea in their minds.
After all, they couldn't even get close to the likes of Boss Zhang on a daily basis.
Let alone Shen Zhou, whom even Boss Zhang had to treat with such deference.
Everyone was curious about Shen Zhou's identity.
Meanwhile, Boss Zhang was only concerned with gripping Shen Zhou's right hand with both of his own, shaking it enthusiastically.
"President Shen, if I had known you were coming today, how could I have dared to go on stage as a guest!"
"Who am I to deserve such an honor!"
Boss Zhang was feeling somewhat panicked.
He knew Shen Zhou's strength all too well.
He had witnessed firsthand the series of conflicts that had occurred at Shen Zhou's Haoqing Grand Hotel back then.
Not to mention, he had later found out that even the very Haoqing Grand Hotel they were in was about to be acquired by Shen Zhou.
How could a small-time boss like him, who had risen by sheer luck, dare to put on airs in front of a true big shot like this?
"You're too kind, Boss Zhang. The bride and I are just former classmates, so naturally, I wouldn't appear as a guest."
"Besides, given your standing, Boss Zhang, it is only fitting that you appear as a guest."
Everyone likes to be flattered; amidst the noisy crowd, Shen Zhou also appeared very warm.
Of course, this was mainly because he didn't actually remember what industry this Boss Zhang was in.
He only remembered that this guy had a decent amount of assets.
Meanwhile, Lin Manzhi and her husband had already eagerly stepped down from the stage.
"Boss Zhang, what is all this about?"
The groom couldn't help but speak up.
"Well, Li Peijun, if you know a big shot like President Shen, why did you ask a small fry like me to go on stage and give a speech?"
"Are you trying to get me killed?"
"Don't you know who President Shen is?"
Boss Zhang couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"President Shen? Him?"
The groom couldn't help but gape in shock.
"Are you talking about Shen Zhou?"
Lin Manzhi's voice became somewhat shrill.
Boss Zhang frowned slightly.
"You don't know who President Shen is?"
"You came to hold your wedding banquet at the Haoqing Grand Hotel, yet you didn't know it belongs to President Shen?"
Boss Zhang's expression turned cold.
"What? How could the Haoqing Grand Hotel be his?"
"Didn't he just graduate?"
Lin Manzhi felt like thunder was rolling through her brain.
What on earth was going on?
Why had her first love suddenly turned into a big boss?
How come she knew nothing about this?
The Haoqing Grand Hotel was one of the most luxurious hotels in the city.
Not only was it in a prime location, but it also had many floors.
It is no exaggeration to say that in recent years, everyone who has held a wedding banquet at the Haoqing Grand Hotel has been a person of status and influence.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Peijun's family had considerable strength, it would have been impossible to book the main hall of the Haoqing Grand Hotel for their wedding banquet on this special day.
Meanwhile, at the table, Sun Tao and his two companions were already in a state of utter shock.
The person they had been mocking and ridiculing was actually a big shot whom even Boss Zhang had to revere.
The poor college student they had looked down upon was actually the owner of the Haoqing Grand Hotel!
Among the trio, Sun Tao was the most horrified.
As far as he knew, one of the major shareholders in their company was none other than the owner of the Haoqing Grand Hotel.
He recalled a piece of gossip from a while ago.
It seemed the Haoqing Grand Hotel had just changed owners.
This also meant that their company had just changed its ultimate boss.
He had indeed heard that the new boss was quite young.
"Could it be that the person is really Shen Zhou?"
Sun Tao's breathing became rapid.
He felt as if the world was starting to reject him.
At this moment, the wedding scene had already exploded into chaos.
"If he really is the owner of the Haoqing Grand Hotel, no wonder Boss Zhang has to curry favor with him!"
"If I could just speak to such a big shot, I could book a luxury hall at the Haoqing Grand Hotel for my son's wedding!"
"If this big shot let just a little benefit slip through his fingers, I probably wouldn't have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of my life!"
"Hey, wait, look at the bride. Why do I feel like the way she's looking at President Shen isn't quite right!"
"And the table President Shen is sitting at seems to be the bride's ex-boyfriend table, right!"
Many people at the scene noticed the key point.
Lin Manzhi was staring at Shen Zhou in extreme excitement.
And her eyes were sparkling with a bright light.
Under everyone's gaze, Shen Zhou explained nonchalantly.
"I suppose I was Lin Manzhi's first love, but back then, I was just an ordinary middle school student."
"After that, I didn't have any contact with Lin Manzhi."
Hearing this, Boss Zhang suddenly realized.
"President Shen, you are still so low-key."
"As far as I know, the villa at Ziyu Mansion No. 8 was bought by you at an Auction, right?"
Boss Zhang smiled even more enthusiastically.
Shen Zhou's heart stirred, but he just waved his hand casually.
"It must have been handled by my subordinates; I didn't go to the Auction myself."
Every item Shen Zhou obtained from the system had a legal source.
Therefore, it was normal that the villa at Ziyu Mansion was acquired at an Auction.
Many people at the scene stared at Shen Zhou with strange expressions.
Are you kidding me?
Living in Ziyu Mansion is the dream of everyone present.
Let alone a villa, they would be extremely satisfied just to have a luxury apartment there.
But it seemed Shen Zhou didn't care about the villa there at all.
He even left the Auction to be handled by a subordinate.
"Ziyu Mansion... an average price of over 180,000... the villa area..."
Lin Manzhi kept muttering to herself.
The groom, Li Peijun, turned pale.
The words "tens of millions in luxury real estate" kept flashing through his mind.
"Did I actually offend such a big shot?"
"I think I said I wanted to kill him earlier?"
Thinking of this, Li Peijun's legs began to feel weak.
Sun Tao, meanwhile, had already fallen into a state of complete despair.
At this moment, Shen Zhou let out a soft breath and stood up with a natural demeanor.
In an instant, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully performing a miracle in front of others without spending a single cent!]
[Everyone has an unforgettable first love, but not everyone can have their first love back in the future. The opportunity is right before the Host!]
[Mission Objective: Host, please win over Lin Manzhi within seven days!]
[Mission Hint: Although Lin Manzhi is materialistic, she is self-respecting and in good health. Host, do not miss this opportunity!]
"Don't miss out on good girls, and don't waste bad girls!"
It was with this thought in mind that Shen Zhou decided to stand up and stir things up.
And as he slowly stood up, the eyes of everyone at the scene were fixed on him.
The venue was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
