You tonight, get Chen Xiao

Just then, Yan Bingqin walked over from the side and said, “You few, flirting with a young lady here?”

Tang Shaofei and the others trembled, immediately explaining, “Sister Qin, no, it’s not. Look who she is?”

Yan Bingqin came closer, sized up Zhang Ting, and pondered for a moment.

“Oh? She is… why does she look so familiar?”

Yan Bingqin felt as if she had seen her somewhere before, but after searching through her circle of friends, business partners, and enemies, it seemed there was no such person…

Chen Xiao was speechless; this woman’s memory was too poor, so he couldn’t help but remind her, “Outside the concert stadium.”

As soon as he said that, Yan Bingqin immediately remembered.

“Oh, oh, oh, right!”

“That oddball who offended Chen Xiao outside the stadium.”

“Why are you at my family’s banquet? Who invited you?”

Zhang Ting: “…”

This manor is her family’s? She heard it belonged to Jinning’s richest person…

She was completely numb.

Just then, an assistant ran over from the side, bowed, and said, “President Yan, this is the host found by our entertainment group’s subordinate brokerage company.”

Yan Bingqin nodded slightly and said coldly, “Immediately call the person in charge of the brokerage company over to me.”

“Yes, President Yan.”

In less than five minutes, a fat man, covered in sweat and panting, quickly ran over from a distance.

Upon hearing that he was to meet Yan Bingqin, Wang Ming, who had been in society for twenty years, felt extremely nervous.

Although he was the boss of a brokerage company, he was only the head of a small company subordinate to Panhai Entertainment Group.

Within Panhai Entertainment Group, there were dozens of people at his level.

Not to mention meeting Yan Bingqin, it was not easy to even meet the chairman of Panhai Entertainment Group.

And the chairman of Panhai Entertainment Group, upon meeting Yan Bingqin, had to be cautious and attentive.

Wang Ming felt that a small fry like himself could only show off in front of ordinary people, but he would never dare to offend a true big shot like Yan Bingqin.

If she was displeased, his future and fortune would be completely ruined.

Although it was his first time meeting Yan Bingqin, the ruthless legends about her within the group had already spread privately.

“President Yan, are you looking for me?”

Wang Ming stopped two meters away, bowing and scraping, smiling cautiously, and asked with some unease.

The brokerage company boss, who was usually high and mighty, was so subservient in front of this woman… Zhang Ting was now completely certain.

One must know that this fat man was the one who controlled most of Jinning’s car model, etiquette, and other businesses.

He was definitely a big shot in her eyes.

If such a person merely said a word, Zhang Ting felt that she would never be able to get another hosting job in this city…

It was at this moment that she finally understood how much power Chen Xiao possessed.

Between her and him, there was a chasm that could never be crossed…

At the same time, she secretly regretted, how could she have come into conflict with such a person?

It was completely suicidal; one thought from him would be a dimensionality reduction strike for her!

At this moment, Zhang Ting’s understanding of the gap between them was even clearer than Chen Xiao’s.

Perhaps this was the feeling of looking down from the mountain peak, where everything seems small.

And looking up from the foot of the mountain, where everything appears majestic.

Yan Bingqin glanced at Wang Ming; she didn’t even know his name.

“You found this host, right?”

Wang Ming flinched; in truth, Zhang Ting was not qualified to host a banquet of this level.

However, the group’s higher-ups had given instructions, specifically naming her, and Wang Ming dared not betray his superiors, so he could only say, “President Yan, it was handled by my subordinates. She is the champion of the Jinning University Campus Host Competition. If you are not satisfied, I will replace her immediately.”

Zhang Ting had already anticipated this outcome, but there was still a sense of loss at being casually discarded.

But to Wang Ming’s surprise, the high and mighty Yan Bingqin actually turned her inquiring gaze towards the young man beside her.

Chen Xiao saw that she wanted him to make the decision, so he smiled slightly and said, “I’m not trying to make things difficult for you. Everyone is human, and it’s natural to feel uncomfortable when wronged.”

“But the fault in this matter lies with you, and that discomfort is what you should bear. Go back to school, find an opportunity to publicly apologize and make a self-criticism. As long as I am satisfied, this matter will be over.”

Zhang Ting had no room for negotiation. Hearing Chen Xiao say this, she immediately nodded in agreement.

“Yes, yes. I’m sorry, Mr. Chen, you are a magnanimous person…”

Chen Xiao frowned and waved his hand, saying, “No need to say anything else, and you don’t need to be so humble. Just pay the corresponding price for your actions.”

Wang Ming and Zhang Ting simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes, Mr. Chen.”

Zhang Ting was like a different person from her previous arrogance; at this moment, the heart that had been in her throat had not fully settled.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Yan Bingqin waved her hand at Wang Ming.

“You may leave. This young lady, stay for a moment; I have something to discuss with her.”

Wang Ming felt relieved, but Zhang Ting’s slightly settled heart rose again.

Chen Xiao was momentarily stunned but didn’t say much. The matter between him and Zhang Ting had reached a settlement.

Next, it was between Yan Bingqin and her. Chen Xiao didn’t want to interfere; it had nothing to do with him.

Yan Bingqin greeted a few people and then left with a nervous Zhang Ting.

Seeing her walk away, Zhang Meng clutched his waist and said, “Tsk tsk, Sister Qin wouldn’t have changed her taste, would she?”

Tang Shaofei directly poked him in the waist.

“Hiss! Damn it, that hurts!”

Tang Shaofei said, “You still know it hurts? Sister Qin just left, and you’re already gossiping. If you want to die, don’t drag us down!”

“…” Zhang Meng.

“Yeah, yeah, you’re right. Whatever, let’s go eat over there.”

In an instant, the few of them forgot the little interlude and began bragging and joking again, teasing Zhang Meng…

…

On the other side, Yan Bingqin, accompanied by bodyguards, led Zhang Ting to a detached Gothic villa on one side of the manor.

Entering the luxuriously decorated living room, Yan Bingqin comfortably sat on the sofa, her two long, straight legs stretched out and crossed, elegant and charming.

Zhang Ting stood by the side, feeling her hands and feet had nowhere to rest.

Yan Bingqin lay back against the sofa, staring silently at the huge crystal chandelier for a while, lost in thought.

Zhang Ting’s appearance at Zijin Manor was arranged by Yan Bingqin; what happened just now was merely an act.

“Did you feel helpless today?” Yan Bingqin asked.

Zhang Ting flinched at the sudden voice, then paused for more than ten seconds before reacting, quickly nodding.

“And do you hate that feeling?” Yan Bingqin asked again.

Zhang Ting shook her head.

“Pfft~~” Yan Bingqin chuckled, “No one is a masochist, how could you not hate it?”

“Then let me ask you in a different way: do you want to make yourself valuable, to cling to a powerful figure, to have a backer?”

A glint gradually appeared in Zhang Ting’s eyes; this was someone from Jinning’s wealthiest family! Then she nodded repeatedly and quickly.

“I, I want to!”

“Very good, sit down.” Yan Bingqin pointed to the sofa opposite.

Zhang Ting dared not disobey her words and sat somewhat awkwardly on the sofa, quietly waiting for what was to come next.

Yan Bingqin leaned slightly forward, staring at her and saying seriously, “Tonight… if you can get Chen Xiao, you will have value.”

“…” Zhang Ting.
