Hotel, Xu family banquet.

When Mr. Xu was about to share the cake with Fan Wenxin, Fan Wenxin smiled and said, "This piece of cake should be given to Mrs. Lin. Mr. Huo doesn't like sweets, so I'll eat his piece so it won't be wasted."

Huo Yixiu held a small piece of cake in his hand, without taking a single bite.

Everyone looked over.

Madam Xu, a legitimate wife, looks down on mistresses, but who can blame Fan Wenxin for being so powerful that she can suppress Ling Zhao's legitimate wife so much that she can't even raise her head?

Mrs. Xu couldn't stand the mistress making trouble, but she cared more about interests than justice.

Fan Wenxin was more powerful, so she invited Fan Wenxin.

Privately, I thought that not inviting Ling Zhao was the right decision. Ling Zhao was too weak, and if she confronted Fan Wenxin in such an occasion, she would be so angry that she would cry.

Mr. Xu is different from Mrs. Xu. He is a man with many affairs outside, and the woman is young, beautiful, and capable, so he looked at her twice more.

"It seems that Secretary Fan is very frugal. It's good to be frugal and not waste food..." Under Mrs. Xu's dissatisfied stare, President Xu moved his eyes away and looked at the next person, "Then I'll give this piece of cake to Miss Song."

The laughter continued and the atmosphere was lively.

Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes. The old man wanted to seduce a woman right under her nose.

Fan Wenxin quietly watched Mrs. Xu's every move.

Mrs. Xu used to take good care of Ling Zhao and often took her to watch operas and drink tea. Now Ling Zhao has lost her value and even lost her qualifications to go to the hotel banquet hall.

Haha, how could she understand the games played in the circle of noble ladies?

Their real focus is only on their own men.

Fan Wenxin looked at Huo Yixiu: "Will Zhao Zhao be angry if you didn't go to her store opening? This is her first time opening a store and she doesn't have much social experience. If she encounters difficult customers, can she handle it?"

As she spoke, she reached out to take Huo Yixiu's cake, but Huo Yixiu held the small spoon, scooped a piece of cake and put it into his mouth, as if he didn't see her hand.

"As long as Jiang Shang is here, everything's fine." The man looked calm, but Jiang Shang's phone call was echoing in his mind.

Fan Wenxin's hand froze in mid-air, looking a little embarrassed, and she retracted her hand: "Are you angry with me? I shouldn't have come to the party?"

"But when Mrs. Xu sent me the invitation, she didn't tell me that you would come. I thought you sent a gift in advance and went to Zhao Zhao's place to support her. I thought that our company couldn't be without a representative, and President Xu would think that we didn't give him face, so he came."

It’s not that she didn’t want to clarify their relationship, it’s just that they happened to appear at the same party.

She felt aggrieved.

Huo Yixiu said, "I'm not angry about everything. Madam Xu gave you the invitation, so I have no right to ask you not to come."

Fan Wenxin smiled with relief: "I knew you wouldn't be unreasonable with me."

After taking a sip of her drink, she continued, "But Madam Xu and Zhao Zhao have a good relationship. Zhao Zhao should have also informed Madam Xu when she opened her shop. How could their dates clash?"

"Mrs. Xu seems very generous, but these ladies in the aristocratic circles are also very concerned about their reputation. Why didn't Zhao Zhao avoid the time? Will Mrs. Xu remember this and think that Zhao Zhao is stealing her limelight?"

Fan Wenxin's face turned worried.

She swung the glass gently as if she was carrying red wine, and spoke slowly: "The outside world's opinion of you has changed. People say that you are a favorite of Mayor Li and a major taxpayer in South City."

"Although Mr. Xu is the CEO of a state-owned enterprise, he is still bound by his own rules and cannot do marketing in front of the public..."

The mayor personally presented the awards and he dined at the same table with senior provincial and ministerial leaders. Huo Yixiu's fame was far greater than others imagined.

Mayor Li said in his award speech that Junhai Technology is a benchmark for Nancheng's high-tech industries, and it aims to be at the forefront of industrial clusters and attract more "golden phoenixes" to settle in Nancheng.

Huo Yixiu has been troubled by rumors recently, but with the technology in hand, other cities are rushing to invite him to invest and set up factories.

Scandals are temporary, but paying taxes is long-lasting.

No matter how much Mayor Li dislikes Huo Yixiu's scandal, he will not let her go for the sake of his political achievements.

The current problem is that some people are hyping up the fact that with the support of the Li family, Huo Yixiu's reputation will surpass that of President Xu.

Now that Ling Zhao’s new store’s opening coincides with Mr. Xu’s birthday, doesn’t that just prove this point?

Fan Wenxin said openly and secretly that Ling Zhao was incompetent and that Huo Yixiu had offended people.

But she didn't know what had really offended her.

Qin Zhan, the person Mrs. Xu wanted to invite the most, went to Ling Zhao!

Huo Yixiu frowned slightly, put the cake aside, took out his cell phone and called Jiang Shang.

But when Jiang Shang received his order, it was too late.

Everyone was in high spirits, drinking and boasting when someone came into the hall.

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Qin took his wife out to dinner and didn't take me..." Jiang Shang had a bitter face and the phone was hung up before he could finish his words.

Huo Yixiu almost crushed his cell phone, staring straight at the three people who came in - Qin Zhan, his illegitimate son, and Ling Zhao.

Qin Zhan held Qin Xie's hand and walked to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu. He first said something polite like "Every year has this day, every year has this day", and then said to Mrs. Xu: "I brought a friend to eat with me, Mrs. Xu won't be angry, right?"

Madam Xu looked at Ling Zhao.

Although her position with Qin Zhan did not appear close, she was brought by Qin Zhan, which was very intriguing.

Mrs. Xu looked at Huo Yixiu from a distance and said with a smile: "Mrs. Huo is my good sister. If it weren't for her new store opening, she would have eaten her fill here a long time ago. How can this be called freeloading?"

Madam Xu grabbed Ling Zhao and brought her to her side, talking to her affectionately, "How is the store going? I was thinking of visiting you when I was free this afternoon, and it's just in time for you to come."

"Come on, take whatever you want to eat. We have a buffet..." Mrs. Xu pulled Ling Zhao to get the food like an older sister.

After the polite words, when there were only two people at the buffet table, Mrs. Xu reminded her, "Why did you come with that kid from the Qin family? If I don't call you Mrs. Huo, what will others think?"

The plate in Ling Zhao's hand felt heavy.

Of course she knew what others would think when they saw her entering the venue with Qin Zhan.

But Qin Zhan only invited her to dinner, and didn't say where to go. When she arrived at the hotel lobby and the door opened, she realized that this was Mr. Xu's place!

Now that things have come to this, what else can she do? She can't just turn around and leave, right?

When she came in, she saw Huo Yixiu at first sight.

Among so many people at the scene, he was the most dazzling one. He was the prince who was visiting the people incognito. Even though he was dressed in a low-key manner, one could tell at a glance that he was extraordinary just by his temperament.

When I saw Huo Yixiu, I also saw Fan Wenxin at a glance.

She was holding a tissue and wiping the cake off his mouth.

With so many people watching, she could do such an intimate thing, and Huo Yixiu didn't push her away.

Then what crime is there for Ling Zhao to have dinner with another man?

Ling Zhao picked out several things to eat, as if what Mrs. Xu was worried about had nothing to do with her.

Mrs. Xu was angry that she was like a soft dough, pretending to be peaceful when something happened. She snatched Ling Zhao's plate and said angrily, "Are you angry that I invited Fan Wenxin but didn't invite you?"
