"See that? That's the president of Mengsi Company, the eldest daughter of the Liu family."

As they approached the elevator, someone recognized her.

The restaurant was bustling with people, many attending various gatherings, including some who had once studied at Liancheng Experimental High School.

The crowd varied in age, some youthful and vibrant, others already sporting a paunch.

In Liancheng, Liu Yingying rarely appeared in public outside of business matters, so not many people knew her.

However, among Liancheng's upper class, especially within the families, she was quite well-known.

Besides her exceptional abilities and successful career, she was also famed as Liancheng's former number one beauty.

Add to that the scandal of her having a child out of wedlock, which had caused quite a stir in the city, her reputation only grew.

Some had met her, while more had heard of the Liu family's eldest daughter through dinner table gossip.

"Wow, she's the president of Mengsi Company?"

"She's so beautiful!"

"I always use their cosmetics!"

"No wonder her skin looks so good, like you could squeeze water out of it."

As Liu Yingying's identity was revealed, a few young girls behind her began whispering.

"I heard she graduated from the same high school as us."

"Yeah, I heard the school started a fundraising campaign to build a new teaching building, and she donated eight million. It spread all over our high school group."

One girl said enviously.

In their eyes, Liu Yingying was beautiful and successful, practically an idol.

Liu Yingying heard the girls' chatter but paid no mind, quickening her pace into the elevator.

Xuanxuan followed closely behind.

Just as the elevator doors were closing with Liu Yingying inside, Ye Feng, who had just parked outside, walked into the restaurant lobby with Su Weiwei.

"Weiwei, which room did you reserve?"

Ye Feng strode in, asking aloud.

It was his first time at this restaurant; back when he was studying in Liancheng, he couldn't afford such a place.

Later, he went to the provincial capital for university and entrepreneurship, leaving him little time to return to Liancheng.

At that time, Yunfeng Group was still based in the provincial capital.

He had planned to move the headquarters back to Liancheng, but he ended up in prison before he could implement it.

Now Yunfeng Group had moved back to Liancheng, and the headquarters building was constructed under the management of Xiao Jun and the board members.

Back then, he had only made a detailed plan.

So he never had the chance to visit this upscale restaurant.

It's said that the restaurant was invested in by the Xie family of Liancheng, the only five-star restaurant in the city.

The Xie family was one of the top families in Liancheng, with assets in the billions, ranking third, just behind the Fu family and the Chen family.

"On the third floor, let me take you up!"

Su Weiwei said, jogging ahead to lead the way.

Soon, the two arrived at the elevator.

While they were waiting for the elevator, Ye Feng's phone rang.

It was a call from Zheng Guozhong. Ye Feng pondered for a moment before answering.

"Chairman Ye, our group's executives are having a company dinner at Liancheng Hotel today. Would you like to join us?"

Zheng Guozhong's tone was respectful on the other end of the line.

A company dinner?

Ye Feng hadn't heard Zheng Guozhong mention this before; it was quite sudden.

After a moment of thought, Ye Feng decided not to go and said, "I'm already at Liancheng Hotel, but I won't attend the company dinner. You can toast on my behalf."

Since the company changed its chairman, Ye Feng hadn't visited the group many times.

Very few people had seen him, and with the confidentiality among the executives, most still didn't know who the chairman was.

Many wanted to take the opportunity of the year-end dinner to meet the new chairman.

However, seeing Ye Feng decline, Zheng Guozhong didn't insist, knowing Ye Feng had his reasons.

After hanging up, Su Weiwei curiously asked, "Who was that?"

"Zheng Guozhong, he's also dining here and wanted me to join them, but that kind of occasion isn't for me, so I declined."

Ye Feng replied casually.

He didn't see dining with Zheng Guozhong as a big deal.

Su Weiwei didn't know that Ye Feng had regained control of Yunfeng Group.

But she knew about Ye Feng's relationship with Zheng Guozhong. With just a word, he could waive her shop's rent, a privilege not everyone had.

Plus, Ye Feng promised her he would secure funds and resources from Zheng Guozhong to facilitate her opening a clothing company next year.

From this, it was clear that even if Ye Feng was no longer Zheng Guozhong's superior, the past favors still held weight, proving that even after five years in prison, Ye Feng was no ordinary person.

However, she thought Ye Feng shouldn't have refused Zheng Guozhong and asked, "Aren't you going to at least make an appearance?"

After all, the other party was a general manager in the business world. Despite their good relationship, Su Weiwei believed Ye Feng still needed to maintain his connection with Zheng Guozhong.

After all, Ye Feng was not who he used to be.

The other party's willingness to help was out of goodwill.

She didn't know that Ye Feng no longer needed to please anyone.

At this moment, the elevator arrived.

Ye Feng smiled slightly, not answering Su Weiwei, and instead said, "Let's go!"

As the elevator doors slowly opened, a wave of people poured out, bringing with them a strong smell of alcohol.

Su Weiwei quickly raised her hand to cover her nose.

Inside the elevator, a young man, drunk and swaying, stumbled out, his face flushed, clearly already quite inebriated.

As the two were about to enter the elevator, the young man spotted Su Weiwei, his eyes lighting up with a lecherous grin.

"Smack!"

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he suddenly reached out and slapped Su Weiwei's firm backside.

The crisp sound echoed in the air, and Su Weiwei froze, her face instantly turning red with embarrassment.

She stopped in her tracks, pointing at the drunken young man, and angrily exclaimed, "Pervert, what are you doing?"

Su Weiwei was genuinely furious, being inexplicably harassed, especially in front of Ye Feng.

Where would she put her face in the future?

Although she no longer had any romantic feelings for Ye Feng, she still wanted to maintain her dignity in front of him.

Unexpectedly, she was blatantly harassed, and in her anger, she raised her hand and slapped the young man across the face.

"Smack."

The drunken young man staggered, took a few steps back, and fell heavily to the ground.

"You... you dare... hit... me?"

"Do you... know... who I am?"

The young man slurred his words, speaking intermittently, trying to get up from the ground, but his limbs were weak, and he collapsed again.

He struggled to get up, finally standing, and staggered forward, trying to reach out and grab Su Weiwei.

Ye Feng stepped out of the elevator, grabbed the young man's hand, and pushed him away.

The drunk man, weak and unsteady, was shoved by Ye Feng and stumbled, falling back to the ground again.

"Let's go, don't bother with him."

Ye Feng said.

People like this weren't worth a second glance.
