"Have you heard about the banquet that will be held by the Long Group? The banquet is rumored to be on a very large scale, even inviting many top business figures from both national and international elites!!"
A girl next to the computer asked about the banquet and exclaimed while raising her canned milk with light-hearted excitement.
Another girl beside her, with dark purple hair and glasses perched on her nose, responding coldly, "Kang Niu, I've told you multiple times every time you tell me about the banquet. It's probably just a regular banquet; I don't care about it."
They both wore identical white suits, a pride for researchers and scientists. But looking at the equipment around them, it's clear they are medical students.
Shifting her gaze from the computer to the girl, Kang Niu frowned and walked towards her, then showed her phone.
"Look at this!! Haven't you seen this?!! Even the heir of a big Group like Mr. Long Aotian will personally lead the meeting!! He's already announced it on his official social media!!" Kang Niu exclaimed loudly.
Staring at the phone shown for a few moments, then the girl flatly replied, "I don't care even if it's a big meeting."
Instantly, Kang Niu's breath caught, and her words stopped, "Meng Jinghua, you—"
"Stop talking and let's continue our college work, quickly finish the proposal to be submitted to the lecturer this afternoon," Meng Jinghua continued flatly.
Returning to her seat while holding some papers given by Meng Jinghua, Kang Niu turned back to the girl and asked something with a strange expression, "Meng Jinghua, could it be that you're agreeing to the marriage plan planned by your grandfather so you can marry Mao Zi, whoever he is?"
Her sweet fingers typing stopped when she heard that question, then she turned to Kang Niu with a slightly changed look, which should have seemed angry, and denied, "What nonsense are you talking about? I never cared about that marriage plan, and I don't care if my grandfather scolds me for it."
Kang Niu became curious about it. "Is that so...?"
"Sigh... Have I ever lied to you?" she sighed tiredly while redirecting her gaze back to the computer in front of her.
Nodding slightly, Kang Niu ended her question. "Okay~!!"

"Hmmm... How is my grandson doing over there? Is he living a normal college life?" An old man asked with his usual wise expression while calmly reading an ancient book in his hands.
"He's doing fine, Master. Fortunately, it seems like he's not too bothered by the previous incident as if it's not a problem for him," explained another middle-aged man who was kneeling behind the old man's chair.
"Good, it's great if he can accept it so easily. Then, continue your task to monitor the boy and protect him from those scoundrels," the old man continued casually.
"I understand, Master Zhang!"
Shortly after, the middle-aged man left. Leaving the old man to his contemplation again for a while, then he turned to his side to see a letter wrapped in red with gold decorations around it, with a complicated expression.
"These scoundrels again... Do they want to mock and threaten me because I don't have an official heir from my Group?" he murmured softly.
However, his expression turned into a wide grin, filled with pride, he slammed his chair's armrest and exclaimed, "Damn, this time I won't let them all insult me like that! Because now I have someone to refute all their arguments!!"
The Sky Dragon Banquet is an event held every three years by the Long Group, the largest entertainment company in China at the top of the world, their reputation in the industry is unquestionable, they truly deserve the title of China's Sky Dragon Entertainment.
But, although it seems like a regular banquet. In reality, the banquet is a competition for the country's elite to showcase their power and influence and to show off their family members. In short, this banquet is to display their prestige to the world of the upper-class elite in this country.
... And in previous years, he always received mockery and ridicule that his family would soon collapse, and they would absorb all the wealth he owned. Although it sounded like nonsense. But in the world of those damn businessmen, that threat was actually a real one.
Some of them also practiced how to use Qi. Although not as skilled as him, but it was powerful enough to bring down a 4-story building alone.
Also, there were some other secret things that made him sick of them.
With a confident grin, he chuckled while squeezing the letter, "Kekekeke.... Just wait and see what I'll show to the world... You will surely be left gaping in disbelief when you find out..."
