Chapter 144
However, others also disliked the man’s behavior . It was Master Qin’s birthday party . He shouldn’t cause An Guangyao trouble right now, and he would only leave a bad impression on the Qin Family .
The man was named Wu Lianqin, a president of a branch of a giant group in City F . He was the same age as An Guangyao .
This branch was involved in the real estate industry and had one billion yuan in assets . Wu Lianqing, as the president, owned 25% shares of this branch . His net wealth was two or three hundred million yuan at most .
Wu Lianqin was ambitious . He had planned to acquire Shenghua Real Estate as his own private property, but he hadn’t been willing to pay a reasonable price for it . Thus Gu Ning had seized the chance .
An Guangyao was annoyed, but he didn’t show it on his face . He replied, “Oh, I almost went bankrupt, but President Wu still congratulated me . That’s interesting!”
“Chairman An, please don’t be mad at me . I didn’t mean that at all . I congratulated you only because you kept your job as the chairman of Shenghua Real Estate,” Wu Lianqin explained . He of course wouldn’t admit it .
“Well, President Wu, I don’t think you need to explain it . You will only make it worse . You congratulated me because I kept my job as the chairman . However, I could keep my job only because I sold my company . Otherwise, I wouldn’t need to work as an employee, and the company would still belong to me,” An Guangyao said .
“You…” Wu Lianqin didn’t know what to say . He realized that he had been rude . He wanted to make fun of An Guangyao, but now he was a joke himself . “Chairman An, if you insist on saying that, I can’t do anything about it . ”
Then Wu Lianqin walked away, like he was the victim .
An Guangyao let him go . It wasn’t appropriate to cause a scene at this party after all .
He turned and immediately noticed Gu Ning and her friends . An Guangyao was amazed by Gu Ning’s outfit . This girl could always surprise you .
An Guangyao walked towards them . An Yi greeted him at once . The others did the same thing without delay .
In public, An Guangyao had to keep his relationship with Gu Ning a secret, so he treated her the same way he treated the younger generation .
After a while, a couple stepped up to them, but before they came near, the woman opened her mouth . “Ha, there you are . I told you to come with us, but you refused . I thought you’re not interested in this party . Unexpectedly, you secretly came here with your friends . ”
Gu Ning and the others didn’t know who they were, and they were puzzled . Right at that moment, Hao Ran replied with obvious dislike, “I didn’t want to come with you adults! I want to be with my friends . ”
Hearing that, Gu Ning and the others immediately realized that this couple was Hao Ran’s parents .
“Don’t you want to see me? Honey, look at him . Our son dislikes us,” the woman complained like a child to the man beside her .
Um…
Gu Ning and others were struck dumb . Was this Hao Ran’s mother? She was so adorable!
However, both Hao Ran and his father, Hao Zhonglong rolled their eyes with one accord . Hao Ran said, “Mom, it’s a public place . Could you please behave normally?”
“What did you say?” Hao Ran’s mother suddenly changed her face, like she was irritated .
Gu Ning and others were once again surprised by Hao Ran’s mother’s quick reaction, but it was much easier to get along with such a delightful person .
“Chairman An, please don’t mind her . ” Hao Zhonglong ignored Hao Ran and his wife, talking to An Guangyao instead .
“Chairman Hao, so nice to meet you! I don’t mind at all,” An Guangyao replied . He shook hands with Hao Zhonglong .
Hao Zhonglong ran a business in the hotel and catering industry with five hundred million yuan of wealth . His company was ranked just behind Shenghua Real Estate in City F according to the assets . The two families didn’t have any conflict in business, so they got along well .
In addition, An Guangyao and Hao Zhonglong now found out that their sons were close friends already . They naturally became friendlier to each other .
“Nice to meet you, Mr . and Mrs . Hao,” Gu Ning and others greeted them .
When Mrs . Hao noticed the three girls, her eyes lit up . “What three beautiful girls you are! Is there any of you who like my son? Are you willing to marry my son?”
Everyone didn’t know what to say all of a sudden .
“Mom…” Hao Ran failed to argue back .
“Alright, let’s stop bothering those kids, and go over there to greet other people!” Hao Zhonglong pulled his wife away at once, in case she would continue to surprise those children .
“Oh, wait…” Mrs . Hao apparently wanted to say something more, but she was pulled away by her husband .
“Um, my mom behaves like a child sometimes . Please don’t mind her,” Hao Ran explained .
“It’s fine . I think you mother is adorable,” Gu Ning said .
“Well, I need to socialize with my friends too . You all have fun,” An Guangyao said then he walked away .
Although An Guangyao wasn’t the owner of the Shenghua Real Estate now, he was still the chairman with absolute executive right . And his business partners were willing to maintain a good relationship with him as usual .
After that, Gu Ning and her friends went back to eat and drink .
“Mu Ke, I haven’t seen you parents yet,” Hao Ran asked . It was almost 8 pm, but Hao Ran’s parents were absent .
“Oh, my father is on a business trip . He isn’t available, so he let his secretary come here on behalf of him,” Mu Ke said .
When there were only a few minutes away from 8 pm, Qin Yifan’s father, Qin Haozheng arrived .
Qin Haozheng was in a black Chinese tunic suit . He was sixty, but still strong and tough .
There was a woman in her early fifties to the right of Qin Haozheng . She was in a dark red cheongsam . The color of her clothes matched his . This woman was Qin Haozheng’s wife, Qin Yifan’s mother .
To the left of Qin Haozheng stood a woman in her late thirties . She was in a rose red cheongsam . The woman was Qin Yifan’s elder sister, Qin Yiqing .
Qin Haozheng and his wife had their only son, Qin Yifan, at a very old age . Thus they had spoiled him ever since he had been a baby, but they were also strict parents when it came to education . Therefore, Qin Yifan hadn’t been spoiled rotten, but had grown up to be an outstanding man .
Now, Qin Yifan was gradually taking over his family business .
The minute that Qin Haozheng appeared, the crowd became quiet . Everyone focused on him .
After a short speech, it was the time of sending gifts .
The first group naturally was the people from the Qin Family . Qin Haozheng’s younger brother, Qin Zixun’s father, Qin Haozhi was the first one .
Qin Haozhi was the general secretary in the committee of City F .
Gu Ning didn’t know Qin Zixun’s father was a powerful official until now .
