Chapter 1712 -1653: His Invitation Card Is Fake

Kang Xiaohui was feeling triumphant; he had finally snatched the business deal and even mocked Wang Cong and his group, feeling more exhilarated than he ever had in his life.

Patting President Meng on the shoulder, Kang Xiaohui proudly said, “President Meng, from now on, we must collaborate well. With Young Master Zhou backing us, we’re bound to make a fortune.”

President Meng frowned internally; he didn’t really like Kang Xiaohui, especially now with his smug visage, which didn’t seem befitting of someone doing big business.

However, with Zhou Xiyun from a prominent family supporting him, President Meng didn’t dare offend him. With a smile, he replied, “Of course, we’ll definitely earn big.”

Glancing at Zhou Xiyun, President Meng was stirred and said, “Young Master Zhou, there’s something I feel necessary to mention to you.”

“What is it?” Zhou Xiyun asked indifferently.

President Meng said, “Well, the thing is, yesterday we were dining at Huafu Restaurant, and then those few people actually dined in the VIP Room One.”

“What?” Zhou Xiyun paused, staring at President Meng. “They actually managed to eat in VIP Room One?”

President Meng said, “Yes! I even went in to toast them, and Kang Xiaohui saw them enter as well.”

Kang Xiaohui immediately said, “What’s so special about VIP Room One? If Young Master Zhou wants to go, can’t he go whenever he pleases?”

Zhou Xiyun wanted to boast along with this statement, but he couldn’t utter the words and instead shook his head, saying, “Huafu Hotel’s VIP Room One is not a place I can simply go to; my father would have to make the reservation to get it.”

“Oh wow! That exclusive?” Kang Xiaohui couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Zhou Xiyun quickly said, “President Meng, are you sure you weren’t mistaken, and they really dined there?”

President Meng nodded and then recounted the events of yesterday in detail.

After hearing this, Kang Xiaohui said, “Well, they must’ve gotten lucky.”

President Meng said, “I can’t figure out what happened, so I mentioned it to Young Master Zhou just in case they have some background, then we should be cautious.”

Kang Xiaohui didn’t want any complications and hurriedly said, “President Meng, you’re overthinking. They’re just some young folks from out of town. What kind of background could they possibly have? Even if they have some influence in their place, it won’t affect us here.”

Zhou Xiyun had been in doubt initially, but after Kang Xiaohui spoke like this, he said, “Xiao Hui is right. If they were locals of this age who were impressive, I’d pretty much know them. There’s definitely no one like these people. Even I am not qualified to reserve VIP Room One at Huafu Hotel, so how could they have such connections? This should just be a coincidence.”

Kang Xiaohui hurriedly said, “Right, right, just a coincidence. President Meng, don’t overthink it; we have Young Master Zhou to protect us.”

Seeing that Zhou Xiyun didn’t take it seriously, President Meng also eased his mind.

The banquet was held in the banquet hall on the eighth floor. Zhou Xiyun, Wang Bing, and President Meng entered together, while Kang Xiaohui stood near the entrance, saying, “You guys go ahead; I want to see if those guys can actually get in.”

Zhou Xiyun laughed, saying, “Then you keep an eye out; I’m quite interested in those two beauties. If it weren’t for you, I’d actually want to bring them in.”

Kang Xiaohui chuckled, saying, “Young Master Zhou, as you said, I’ll definitely arrange for a few better ones than those two ladies for you later.”

Zhou Xiyun and the others left laughing, while Kang Xiaohui kept watching the entrance. He wasn’t mingling in the area, knowing that he was there only because Zhou Xiyun brought him; on his own merits, he wasn’t qualified to attend this banquet, and he knew the big shots there wouldn’t even acknowledge him.

After waiting for a while, three men and three women approached. Weren’t they Wang Cong, Liu Caiyou, and their group?

Kang Xiaohui frowned, wondering to himself, why these guys actually showed up.

But aside from those six, nobody else was with them, which relieved Kang Xiaohui. Without anyone accompanying them, they couldn’t get in; the security at the door was tight, and not just anyone could sneak in.

He went directly to the door, loudly saying, “Hey, you really showed up! This is a high-profile banquet, and you riffraff shouldn’t even think about sneaking in.”

Kang Xiaohui’s shout immediately made the staff responsible for checking the invitation cards at the door look serious.

Wang Cong and Liu Caiyou, of course, saw Kang Xiaohui, but now each of them was feeling quite bold, as someone had just sent Song Xiaodong several invitation cards.

This amazed Wang Cong, Liu Caiyou, and Zhao Fei’er; even if they were fools, they understood that Song Xiaodong wasn’t just an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could an invitation be sent over with just one call, and six at once at that?

Liu Caiyou, having been holding back, glared at Kang Xiaohui, raised the invitation card, and said, “Take a good look with your dog eyes; we actually have invitation cards.”

Zhao Fei’er immediately raised her chin, saying, “Exactly, unlike some riffraff who rely on others to bring them in.”

Kang Xiaohui looked at the invitation cards in their hands, everyone holding one, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Watching the group of six hand over their invitation cards to the security, who, after checking, actually let them pass, Kang Xiaohui panicked, stepped forward, and directly blocked Wang Cong, who was walking at the front, saying, “Hold on; this is not a place you can enter.”
