Chapter 309: Chapter 307: Business Banquet
Celestial Sea City, State Guest Hotel.
As the nsuggests, this State Guest Hotel is generally used for government officials to host foreign guests.
It is also the only ultra-six-star luxury hotel in Celestial Sea City and one of only three in all of Huaxia.
When there are no foreign visitors, it also accepts national banquet bookings, but the price is so high it's beyond
imagination!
But for the Li Corporation, apparently, money isn’t an issue!
Today, the State Guest Hotel has accepted a booking from the Li Corporation for a top-tier national banquet
feast.
Total cost: 350 million!
A business banquet, 350 million!
In summary, this meal spent 350 million!
It was nearing midnight, but the State Guest Hotel was still brightly lit.
Under the warm light, the pure gold round and long tables with chairs appeared extremely luxurious.
Countless men and women dressed in suits and gowns were craning their necks, gathered outside the hotel
entrance.
Without exception, they were small business owners unqualified to attend the banquet.
Even though they weren't qualified, they dreamed of being casually spotted and admired by the new president
of the Li Corporation, so they gathered outside the hotel.
"Hey, make way." Ye Huan, with a toothpick in his mouth, squeezed through the crowd.
These people were all in suits and gowns, and when they saw a person in a security uniform squeezing through,
they were immediately displeased.
"What are you squeezing for?" someone questioned.
Instantly, the people beside Ye Huan stood their ground, using their strength to prevent him from squeezing
forward.
"Oh, I’m going to the banquet, please make way."
Ye Huan’s words silenced the crowd for a second.
A second later, a chorus of curses erupted.
"Attending the banquet? Why don’t you look in the mirror and see if you qualify?!"

"So funny, talking big without even glancing at any notes!"
"I think this kid is trying to sneak into the banquet under the guise of a security guard!"
"Damn, this kid is so scheming! But kid, lettell you, your wish to sneak into the banquet posing as security
has fallen through! The security of the State Guest Hotel has been upgraded to the highest level today, all
replaced by armed special police and elite guards!"
Ye Huan raised an eyebrow, looking through the gaps in the crowd toward the hotel.
Just as the person said.
Around the hotel perimeter, at the edge of the crowd of onlookers, there were hundreds of armed special police
officers.
Closer to the hotel entrance was a circle of hundreds of elite guards in black suits, wearing sunglasses, their
expressions solemn as they patrolled around.
"Whoa, this impressive!?" Ye Huan suddenly exclaimed, then asked, "What's going on, why is the security so high
today?"
"Considering you're honest enough not to keep bragging, lettell you!"
A man in a suit beside Ye Huan spoke with a meaningful tone, "This banquet today gathers many top
entrepreneurs from hand abroad. Their combined wealth could move half the globe, with immense
influence. If anything happened to them, Huaxia would face significant pressure internationally."
"Even so, isn’t this level of security excessive?"
Ye Huan was quite puzzled, thinking it's too much of a waste of societal resources to use so many special police
and elite guards as security.
To Ye Huan'’s puzzlement, the man in the suit once again showed a meaningful expression, raising his brows
before saying:
"Actually, it's no secret. The elite guards and special police aren't mainly protecting those entrepreneurs but the
host of this banquet!"
"The host of this banquet has such a big background it's unimaginable. It’s said she’s not only the new president
of the Li Corporation but also the daughter of the Special Service Bureau Director—General Ye Tiance!"
"To ensure her safety, all the hotel security personnel have been replaced by armed special police and elite
guards."
"Because..."
The man in the suit paused, deliberately striking a profound pose, then said: "Because she was assassinated by
unknown individuals this morning, so for her safety, the security level was raised to the highest."
An attempt on her life?
The man’s words made Ye Huan’s mouth twitch.
The "spendthrift girl" he saved in the morning was the one who got attacked?
Moreover... she casually took out more than 2 billion, clearly very wealthy, clearly someone extraordinary!
Most importantly, the assassination’s location...
It happened on the G-01 highway directly from the Capital City to Celestial Sea!
And... the daughter of Ye Tiance?
That spendthrift girl was named Ye Qiging, also with the surnYe!
Damn!
It's most likely that the spendthrift girl is the host of this business banquet!
But that spendthrift girl obviously has something improper in mind about me!
If she findsattending the banquet... the consequences are unimaginable!
Ye Huan suddenly had the thought to leave.
But things didn’t go as planned.
"Ye Huan?"
A sharp female voice immediately hushed the surrounding crowd.
Zhong Qiangian, dressed in a fiery red dress, stood in the VIP passage, easily spotting Ye Huan.
Beside her was a man with a sharp visage, dressed in a costly suit quite mismatched with his looks, clearly
Southeast Asian.
Zhong Qiangian’s gaze made the onlooking crowd scatter.
Simultaneously, it left Ye Huan completely exposed in the "open air."
"What are you doing mingling with these people?" Zhong Qiangian crossed her arms, her tone questioning.
"None of your business." Ye Huan replied icily, unceremonious.
"Heh." Zhong Qiangian sneered, "Mingling with these lower-class people, | guess you want to attend the banquet
but lack the qualification, right?"
Lower-class people?
The onlookers were indignant but dared not act.
Since anyone who could pass through the VIP passage was undoubtedly a real big shot, these "small fry" didn’t
dare provoke them.
Ye Huan was also displeased and coldly said, "Who said | don’t qua—"

"Such a pathetic worm, wanting to join the upper class but lacking the qualification." Zhong Qiangian’s face
showed "charity," her glance toward Ye Huan filled with "pity" and "benevolence."
Then, she lifted her toe, her eyes showing an intensely playful look, "Just as well, it’s the third day, giveyour
answer! If you decide to work for the Zhong Family, lick my heel. In that case, | don’t mind bringing an extra pet
to the banquet."
For a moment, many faces showed jealousy towards Ye Huan.
Just a lick on the heel to attend a bigwig-filled banquet and becthe Zhong Family's pet, why didn’t that
opportunity cto me?
Ah!
"Smack!"
A sudden crisp slap made all those who felt envy and jealousy over Ye Huan’s opportunity freeze on the spot.
It also made Zhong Qiangian fall to the ground.
"Seriously, why do speople keep barking around me?"
Ye Huan looked "perplexed."
Zhong Qiangian was stunned, slapped senseless by the sudden strike.
"Ye Huan, I'm going to kill you!!" The humiliation from being slapped in public made Zhong Qiangian seethe with
rage, hysterically yelling after getting up, simultaneously raising her palm.
But before she could strike, her wrist was restrained by the Southeast Asian man.
The man’s expression was indifferent, his gaze glancing at Ye Huan before fixing back on the hotel's inner area.
Zhong Qiangian understood his implication that the banquet takes priority.
Indeed, the banquet takes priority!
Ye Huan... can be killed anytime!
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Qiangian cast a glance filled with murderous intent at Ye Huan, then walked toward
the inner venue with the Southeast Asian man.
She had made up her mind!
To flay Ye Huan, tear him limb from limb!
An entity with no qualification to attend the banquet dared slap her in public!?
Courting death!
The more she thought, the angrier she got, and Zhong Qiangian’s eyes were filled with even more murderous
intent. After entering the hotel, she went to the restroom and made a phone call.
"Crow, cto the State Guest Hotel, after the banquet ends... helpkill someone!"
