The beloved one of the rich brother

Pei Yan, a childhood friend and good brother, said to Huo Chengluo, "Chengluo, are you being nice? You secretly dated a girlfriend and didn't tell her?"

"Didn't you find out today?" Huo Chengluo asked calmly.

There was laughter. "I never thought, the reserved and flirtatious type! So you like that type?"

In the eyes of his friends, Huo Chengluo has always been a calm, self-sustaining, and well-behaved career-oriented man. They have always believed that the wife he will choose in the future will be a strong woman who will fight side by side with him in his career.

"Tsk, tsk, fighting for love?"

"But your girlfriend does look so delicate, gentle and charming. No wonder you fell for her."

"How was it? Is this your first time tasting a woman? How does it taste? Is your waist okay?"

Huo Chengluo couldn't help but glance at them and warned them, "Speak with respect. She will be my Mrs. Huo in the future, you should call her sister-in-law."

As soon as the words came out, the men around him started to boo.

It was getting lively when 21-year-old Qin Yichen and 19-year-old Liang Xiangyang came over together.

When they came over, they attracted a lot of attention. Now the people at the top of the pyramid gathered in one corner, becoming the focus of the whole audience.

How could anyone at the banquet miss this opportunity? After all, tonight's banquet was for the upper class, with elites from all walks of life gathered. It was a huge stage for seeking cooperation and sharing resources. Many people began to move towards them intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Yichen has the same facial features as his father Qin Baichuan when he was young. Although he looks a little immature, his temperament is very steady.

"Mr. Huo!" Qin Yichen was the first to greet him.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Liang!" Huo Chengluo responded calmly.

Qin Yichen got straight to the point, "Mr. Huo, can you arrange a time to discuss the project in the north of the city?"

Although Qin Yichen is still young, his father Qin Baichuan has already let him take over the family business. At this moment, facing a group of men who are older and more experienced in business, he is not inferior in aura or conversation.

Different from Qin Yichen's calmness despite his youthfulness, Huo Chengluo has an aura that comes from years of experience.

Huo Chengluo raised his glass to him and said, "Of course it's convenient."

Gu Xinghe, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and well-dressed, just came over. He took the opportunity to interrupt with a half-chuckle and flattered: "I heard that the Huo and Qin families are going to marry! This powerful union will make the future development of the two families even more unmatched."

Hearing this, Huo Chengluo raised his eyelids and cast a dull gaze at him, "Second Young Master Gu," he paused, his expression was indifferent, but his voice was obviously colder, "The business cooperation between the Huo and Qin families does not need to be achieved through marriage."

Qin Yichen on the side turned his head and looked at him directly, "Second Young Master Gu, the rumors about the marriage between the Huo and Qin families are really ridiculous. Spreading such rumors will ruin my sister's reputation." There was a serious and sharp look on the young and handsome face.

Liang Xiangyang, who had been following Qin Yichen in silence, also spoke up and emphasized: "My sister is single and beautiful."

Gu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his usually gentle and elegant face. He changed his words and said, "It's my fault for hearing it from others and making a fool of myself."

After saying this, Chao raised the glass in his hand towards Huo Chengluo, Qin Yichen and others, "I'll drink a glass to make amends. Please forgive me, Mr. Huo and Mr. Qin." After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Huo Chengluo raised his lips slightly, clinked glasses with him politely, and said casually: "Hasn't Gu's opened up multiple tracks recently? It seems that the second young master Gu is getting more and more adept at it! No wonder Gu's is thriving!"

Although Huo Chengluo's words seemed to be polite and flattering, everyone present understood what was going on and looked at Gu Xinghe with amusement on their faces.

Everyone knows that the Gu family and the Zheng family have been in the spotlight recently. Their industrial factories have been strictly investigated, many businesses have been terminated for no reason, and they have been plagued by a lot of negative news, causing the group's stock price to plummet.

The projects they are discussing are often intercepted by others, so now they can only build relationships and seek cooperation.

The current Gu family is different from the past. It is a world of difference from when Gu Beiyuan was in charge.

Especially in the past two years when Gu Xinghe was in charge, the performance was mediocre, and the recent difficulties had caused many shareholders to complain about him. Now he was under attack from all sides and was overwhelmed.

Gu Xinghe's face suddenly froze. He opened his mouth and managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Boss Huo, thank you for your praise!"

"Mr. Huo, let me introduce you." Qin Yichen suddenly said, "These two are Mr. Murong He and Mr. Murong Ye from Nanyi Island. They want to meet Mr. Huo."

As soon as the words fell, everyone noticed that two tall men with obviously different personalities and temperaments had appeared beside them.

But the next second, when they heard the name Qin Yichen introduced, the successful people who had been in the business world for a long time were secretly surprised and looked sideways.

Nanyi Island? It is an island country with independent sovereignty located in the north-central Pacific Ocean.

Although Nanyi Island is not large in area, it has rich oil and natural gas resources, as well as diamonds and gold.

The small Nanyi Island is rich enough to rival a country. It has modern infrastructure such as roads, subways, airports, ports and communications. The social security situation is good and the island has a high standard of living.

The Murong family is a powerful family that controls Nanyi Island.

The Murong family is now headed by Murong Tai, the father of Murong He and Murong Ye.

He has three sons, namely Murong He, Murong Feng and Murong Ye.

You can imagine how noble their status is. They are the partners that everyone is scrambling to get close to.

"Mr. Huo, nice to meet you!" Murong He took the lead in extending his hand to Huo Chengluo. His gestures showed his unique calmness and dignity.

Huo Chengluo responded politely, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Murong."

"Mr. Huo, I've heard of your name for a long time!" Murong Ye's narrow peach blossom eyes were raised, and the gaze he cast was intriguing. He casually stretched out his hand and shook it nonchalantly, adding, "Mr. Huo, you are so lucky."

Huo Chengluo raised his eyebrows slightly in confusion, "Mr. Murong?"

"Mr. Huo's girlfriend is young, pretty and cute. Isn't Mr. Huo very lucky?" Murong Ye asked with a wicked smile.

Murong He raised his eyes and glanced at his younger brother with a subtle warning in his eyes. He said, "You can be playful, but you have to be considerate of who you are teasing."

Huo Chengluo frowned, his face darkened slightly, then he lifted his eyelids and looked directly at him, his eyes were filled with light scrutiny, and he gently uttered two words, "Indeed."

Different from the ruffian and evil Murong Ye, Murong He exudes the charm of a mature man, steady and noble. He ignored the attention of the people around him and calmly interrupted: "Mr. Huo, can I have a word with you?"

It seems that the Murong family came prepared tonight, and their target is Huo Chengluo of the Huo family. Everyone knows this tacitly, and those who want to curry favor with them can only sigh in despair.

Huo Chengluo withdrew his gaze from Murong Ye's face when he heard this. Just as he was about to respond, he was interrupted by the visitor, "Someone is gathering by the pool to cause trouble."

"Master Murong, the Miss Luo you brought here was pushed into the water!"

"Mr. Huo, your girlfriend is here."

"Master, the eldest lady is among them."
