Chapter 1422: Chapter 1422: Celebration Banquet! First Update

Capital City.

As the lights began to glow, a waterside restaurant was brightly lit.

Countless luxury cars were parked on either side of the restaurant, drawing the attention of many passersby.

“Wow, so many luxury cars. Is there a party here tonight? There must be a lot of rich people inside.”

“Not just rich people, those ordinary-looking cars aren’t simple either. Didn’t you see those special license plates? They’re from the military district.”

“Hiss… I really want to go inside and take a look.”

“Look, isn’t that the car plate of Xu Rui from the Capital City?”

“And the Ma family’s.”

“I feel like half of the big shots in Capital City are gathering here tonight.” Someone sharp-eyed even spotted the cars of important figures from other provinces and cities, raising the status of tonight’s party at the waterfront restaurant to the highest level in their mind.

In fact, this party was initiated by the Iron Triangle, the Song, Luo, and Jiang families, just to celebrate the completion of a project development.

It was supposed to be a small matter, but when it was heard that the man behind the Iron Triangle would show up tonight, many people came uninvited, rushing to congratulate the Iron Triangle families.

Song Jie, Jiang Hao, Luo Ming were busy to death; they didn’t expect so many uninvited guests.

Guests were guests, they couldn’t just kick people out, and could only greet them with smiles.

However, Song Jie and the others knew that the reason so many unrelated people came to offer congratulations was all because of one person.

Only that person had such power.

A beautiful woman became the undisputed center in the hall, surrounded by many women in their thirties or forties who were full of charm.

Thinking back to the past, the beautiful woman never experienced such treatment; her Song family in the Capital City was only somewhat known, not worth mentioning compared to real aristocratic families.

But now, it’s completely different. Wherever the beautiful woman went, she was greeted with smiles, even though she was just a woman, no one dared to ignore her, because everyone knew her Song family was now at the peak of its power.

As long as that man didn’t touch her Song family, no one in the Capital City would dare provoke them.

“Sister, we also want to meet Mr. Ye, I don’t know when you can introduce him to us.”

“Yes, we all want to see the charm of the War God of China.”

The women surrounding her, all wives of influential figures in the Capital City, all expressed a desire to meet Ye Qiu.

The beautiful woman knew these women’s intentions, merely wanting to use their beauty to allure Ye Qiu.

Little did they know Ye Qiu hadn’t even touched a single hair of hers, much less would he be interested in these women.

Thinking like this, the beautiful woman naturally wouldn’t say her true thoughts and embarrass everyone.

She smiled and said, “Mr. Ye will appear tonight, and then you can all meet him.”

Upon hearing this news, the women’s faces lit up with joy, it seemed the rumors were true, and the young prominent figure would indeed make an appearance.

…

“Zhou Zheng, how has the company’s development been lately?” In the hall, an elderly man asked the suited young man beside him.

“Uncle, rest assured, I will never let you down. Just yesterday, our company acquired an overseas enterprise.” Zhou Zheng said, with a flash of pride in his eyes when talking about this.

“Oh?” The elder was slightly astonished, looking anew at Zhou Zheng, “No wonder you were selected from the family; Zhou Zheng, if you perform well, the future burden of the Zhou family might fall on your shoulders.” The elder said lightly.

“Zhou Zheng will not disappoint Uncle, and will definitely make the company grow stronger.” Zhou Zheng said with a smile. He wasn’t a direct descendant of the Zhou family, but with the Zhou family lacking talent nowadays, the elder had specially selected outstanding young people from branches of the Zhou family across China, and Zhou Zheng was one of them. After competition, Zhou Zheng surpassed everyone and successfully entered the Capital City Zhou family, marking a significant turning point in his life.

This was an opportunity to rise to the top, and Zhou Zheng knew his fate had changed. As long as he maintained the current momentum, in the near future, he would definitely be able to control the Zhou family and become a prominent figure in the Capital City.

Seeing Zhou Zheng’s constant politeness, the elder nodded with satisfaction, such talent was what the Zhou family needed. Then, the elder glanced at the people around the hall and said, “Tonight is the celebration banquet of the Song, Jiang, and Luo families, and many important figures are here. You’re in luck, you can meet the famous big shots of our Capital City.”

“Uncle, Zhou Zheng has a slight doubt in his mind and doesn’t know if he should speak.”

“Go ahead.”

“This party is just a celebration of the Iron Triangle families; why would it attract so many important figures?” Zhou Zheng couldn’t understand.

The elder laughed, “Heh, right, you’ve just come to the Capital City and don’t know the previous situation here. As the saying goes, thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west, things change and are unpredictable. But in the realm of the Capital City, it doesn’t take thirty years; in three years, many families would rise and fall. This Iron Triangle family, just over a year ago, was just a small force, but in less than two years, it suddenly became a family famous in the Capital City, even surpassing the once-renowned Liu and Wang families.”

Zhou Zheng felt shaken. In his view, the Capital City was the place where all the big figures of China gathered; how could a small family rise to such a high position in one or two years?

Seeing Zhou Zheng’s puzzlement, the elder continued, “You’re surely curious, right? Actually, their rise seems like a miracle to us, and it all starts with one person.”

“Have you heard the name Mr. Ye during your time in Capital City?”

Zhou Zheng shook his head, “Is this Mr. Ye’s background strong?”

“I don’t know much about Mr. Ye, just a reminder, in the Capital City, you can provoke anyone, but never provoke Mr. Ye; keep this firmly in mind, otherwise, no one can save you.” The elder warned.

Zhou Zheng nodded deeply.

“Heh, maybe my concern is unnecessary. Mr. Ye is like an immortal; ordinary people rarely see him. It’s really hard to provoke him.” The elder laughed again.

After what the elder said, Zhou Zheng was even more curious about Mr. Ye and really wanted to see him with his own eyes.

“Huh?” While thinking, Zhou Zheng casually glanced around and suddenly noticed a somewhat familiar figure not far away.

“Fang Sijie!”

Rubbing his eyes, Zhou Zheng took a closer look, and it really was Fang Sijie. That big one and small one, weren’t they her and her daughter?

“Why did she come here? Could she know the Iron Triangle families?” Without having time to think more, Zhou Zheng mentioned something to the elder and immediately walked toward Fang Sijie and Niu Yinyin, mother and daughter.
