Ming Ansheng followed .
“Secretary Wang . ”
Yan Rusheng greeted plainly when he arrived before him .
His wife had instructed him to do so . He had to be on good terms with the government officials as they were bound to have dealings in the future .
Yes, so he had to force on a smile when he greeted the secretary .
“Secretary Wang,” Ming Ansheng greeted soon after .
Secretary Wang looked at both of them and smiled . “The youngest successful businessmen in the capital city . ”
Ming Ansheng smiled faintly . “Secretary Wang, you’re too kind . ”
“I heard that Flourish & Prosper’s project in Chengnan will be completed by the start of next year . Congratulations, President Yan,” President Chen interjected .
Yan Rusheng smiled but kept his silence .
The crowd around the secretary became bigger after Yan Rusheng and Ming Ansheng joined .
The guests were engaged in their own conversations . Yan Rusheng and Ming Ansheng listened in, only giving brief replies when the topic came to them .
“President Chen . ”
Someone entered, calling out to him from afar .
It was a powerful voice and everyone looked over instinctively . Even Yan Rusheng glanced over .
It shocked him . ‘Bai Jing?’
Bai Jing was wearing a pale pink gown . Her hair and makeup had been beautifully done . She was carrying a golden Chanel bag .
He almost couldn’t recognize her after her makeover .
Yan Rusheng furrowed his eyebrows as he sized Bai Jing up . He then retracted his gaze .
“Third Yan, isn’t that Bai Jing?” Ming Ansheng whispered . “Who’s that man beside her?”
Yan Rusheng replied, “The President of Grand Prosperity Molds, Lei Yong . ”
“Grand Prosperity Molds? Lei Yong?” Ming Ansheng took a while to recall the company name . “Lei Minghe?”
Grand Prosperity Molds wasn’t a huge company . They considered it ordinary among the many corporations in the capital city .
The surname ‘Lei’ only triggered his memory .
Yan Rusheng nodded his head . “Mm . ”
“Then Bai Jing . ”
Yan Rusheng knew what Ming Ansheng was curious about . “Lei Minghe is Bai Jing’s stepfather . ”
The answer was explanatory . Ming Ansheng nodded . “I see . ”
All along, he only knew that her stepfather was wealthy . He didn’t know her exact situation .
President Chen walked up to Lei Yong and greeted him with a smile . “Oh, President Lei . ”
“It’s been awhile,” Lei Yong said .
“Yes, it has . ” President Chen nodded . His gaze shifted onto Bai Jing, who was standing beside him . His eyes brightened . “This is?”
President Chen pointed at Bai Jing and asked Lei Yong .
Lei Yong introduced, “This is my younger sister, Bai Jing . ”
Shock flashed cross President Chen’s eyes . “Your younger sister?”
Lei Yong knew what he was confused about . “It’s a long story . We reconciled recently . ”
In such a setting, how could he say that Bai Jing is a child who his stepmother had with another man?
It would tarnish the Lei’s reputation .
“This little lass is in senior middle school?” President Chen asked, his gaze glued on Bai Jing .
Bai Jing knew that this was the man Lei Yong had mentioned, and she was frightened . She gripped the strap of her bag tightly, not daring to look at President Chen .
Lei Yong saw this, so with a smile, he answered on her behalf . “She’s in her first year of university . ”
“Oh,” President Chen replied . Then he added, “Which university?”
Lei Yong replied, “A University . ”
