Chapter 233: Charity Dinner (4)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After Ms. Qin walked away, she approached someone to ask about the invitation, “What happened? How did this special invitation fall into the hands of Ms. He Yan?”
“Madam, the invitation was not presented by Ms. He Yan.”
“Huh? What happened then?”
“Ms. He Yan entered with an ordinary invitation. The one who held a special invitation was Miss Jian. She came by herself. I found it quite strange that a little girl had such a special invitation in her hands.”
Upon hearing this answer, Ms. Qin was even more confused and curious.
She remembered that her husband had told her that Miss Jian was incredibly talented in chemistry. She had won the first prize in a chemistry competition.
However, this matter wasn’t linked to the special invitation.
She hadn’t even given her husband the ability to send special invitations for the charity dinner tonight.
“Madam, would you like me to ask Miss Jian?”
“There’s no need. It doesn’t matter where this young lady got the invitation from. There is definitely a reason behind this. As the host, we should instead take care of everyone who is here.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Suddenly, everyone in the venue was stirring. Their attention was drawn to the newcomer at the entrance.
Upon seeing everyone turn, Jian Yumin also looked in that direction.
There was a gray-haired old man that appeared in front of everyone.
He Yan hurriedly pulled Jian Yumin forward.
“Mother, what are you doing?” Jian Yumin asked. He didn’t want to get involved in anything.
“What am I doing? Of course, I’m planning to head over there. That old gentleman must be a very important person.”
He Yan didn’t recognize the old gentleman. However, based on the reactions of the people around her, she could tell that the person was very special.
“Why does that matter? Aren’t we here to attend the charity dinner?”
“Why do you think all these business elites and celebrities are gathered here? Do you really think they’re only interested in charity? That’s probably less than half of the reason. This is an occasion for people to get to know each other and expand their networks.”
Jian Yumin couldn’t help but sigh internally. Of course, it was that. His mother had to be getting some benefit out of this event.
“Then you go over there. I will stay by Yiling.”
Jian Yumin didn’t want to head over there with He Yan.
Upon hearing her son’s reply, He Yan couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. She left Jian Yumin and Jian Yiling and headed over there by herself.
Then, Jian Yumin turned his head around and spoke to Jian Yiling, “Let’s find a place to eat.”
Jian Yiling nodded her head.
The two siblings headed towards a corner. They acted as though they didn’t care about anyone else.
Their behavior was completely different from the other people in the room. The rest of them were particularly enthusiastic because of the presence of this old gentleman.
From the conversation around her, He Yan became aware of the old gentleman’s identity.
His name was Liang Shuo.
He was one of the country’s top scientific researchers. He was also an incredibly influential person in science and technology.
Furthermore, he also owned a very special technological company. The company created many of the advanced technologies in the world right now.
And thus, his status was very prominent and well respected in the industry.
Not only was his name known domestically, but he also had considerable influence in international circles.
With such a special status, it was no wonder that people reacted in such a way when they saw him.
After Master Liang entered the room, he greeted Ms. Qin who was the host of the event. Other than that, he didn’t pay attention to anyone around him.
Under the protection of his bodyguards, he took his spot in the exclusive seat that had been prepared for him in advance.
Of course, no one dared to disturb him. They could only look at Master Liang from afar.
