Chapter 50 Qin Shao
From the very first time he met Song Ye, his world view was constantly refreshed, and now it had reached the point where it can never return, making his reaction time so long that it had gotten lost .
“What? Is there a problem?”
Maybe because Xu Zi Hang’s stares were burning too much, Song Ye then turned her gaze from outside the window towards his face, sounding unperturbed .
Xu Zi Hang was in a status of continuoiusly shutting down . After sometime, he then regained his senses and found an important question,
“Then the event that you’re going to participate this time, is it related to the business?”
“Mmn . ”
Song Ye nodded her head and she began to explain in details to him,
“There are money invested by Yu Fu Jewellery in the event this time, and the main activity is to buy the raw jade stone, so it is considered quite the huge business event . ”
Stone gambling is not a term Xu Zi Hang had ever heard of before . Shi Town is the provicial capital ot Luo Province and at the same time also owning a raw stone market so famous that it occupies the top spot in the country . Which is how it got the provincial capital got its name[1] .
He originally thought that Song Ye was only heading to Shi Town to scout it out . But now that they are participating in such a huge business banquet, Xu Zi Hang creased his brows .
In the end, on the evening that day, when they entered Shi Town’s territory, Xu Zi Hang suddenly said that he had business to attend to and left . Song Ye agreed to it and did not ask for the details .
While Zhao Zhen glanced over and mumbled, seemingly satisfied as he nodded,
“This boy seems not bad . He seems to be soemone from a good family and has received good education . ”
In his eyes, Song Ye is no normal child and she’s also cold as a person as well . As a person she brought along to discuss business with is surely someone she has expectations for . And as the guardian of Song Ye, he still needs to oversee if they are good enough . And during the journey earlier, the impression Xu Zi hang gave him was good and it was in the scope where he was also acceptable as a boyfriend .
On the other hand, Song Ye got down from the car and walked in front with her luggage . She did not expect Zhao Zhen to have imagined so far ahead . From the moment she mentioned that they are heading to Shi Townb, Song Ye had guessed that his hometown is Shi Town and that his background is not simple at all, but she did not ask for further information .
On the night they checked in a hotel, Wang Yu Tang had took great care to the point of preparing two sets of formal clothings, said to be prepared for Song Ye . Probably afraid that she might not appear due to how expensive the dresses were, Zhao Zhen said smilingly when he saw it,
“Looks like Wang Yu Tang wants to make sure that it’s true and got his eyes on you . ”
“That’s good, we can increase the exposure of Yu Fu Jewellery . ”
The capital of fifty million . What Song Ye want was not only moeny . Looking at the gowns that are of white and black colour respectively, she picked one randomly .
“This…… Isn’t it too exposing?”

Zhao Zhen stared at the gown in her hand and had a struggling face . Between these two sets of gowns, the white one has cloths dragging to the ground from the shoulder part that looks like what a goddess would be like, so it would be suitable for Song Ye who is fifteen years old and should be wearing something more conservative; while the black one had an oblique shoulder style and the outer hem is above her knees, the materials were made of gauze and the part below her knees were covered by a thin layer of gauzy fabric . The whole dress appeared to be cool and exposing . Zhao Zhen felt that if Song Ye were to wear that, it will hurt his eyes .
Out of the two of course, she chose the black one .
Song Ye is someone that has her own independant thoughts,
“Uncle Zhao, you should also head back and prepare . ”
With just one sentence, she chased him out .
Every year, Shi Town will hold an open event for the trading of raw stones to pull along the economics of the town . After some time, this event had then become the tradition of Shi Town and there will be different people in charge of the event through drawing lots via investment . And this year, the lots that was picked was Wang Yu Tang’s .
A day before the event, there will be a banquet happening in a five star business hotel to let all the businessmen that came from outstanding backgrounds to socialize . After that, the list of raw materials will be announced to let everyone have the knowledge of what will be included in it .
At 8 p . m . , the whole Shi Town submerged under the rays of lights . Compared to how quiet Yun Cheng was, the hustle in the large city begins at night . Tonight, in front of the largest business hotel, countless expensive cars parked long ago . All the beauties, men and women alike, dressed up and entered the hall in pairs with smiles on their face .
In the banquet hall on the top of the floor, the sound of instruments playing circled around the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, filling up every corner of this medieval banquet .
When Wang Yu Tang found Zhao Zhen, he only saw him by himself,
“Director Zhao, you have finally arrived . Come, let me introduce some of my friends to you . Director Chen, Director Zhou, Director Lin . All these here are the owner of some of the famous jewellery shop in Shi Town . ”

Zhao Zhen shook their hands and greeted them one by one . Wang Yu Tang on the other hand quickly changed the topic and asked him,
“Eh, how come I don’t see Miss Song?”
Zhoa Zhen laughed awkwardlyand said:
“When I went to fetch her earlier, she said that she had arrived, so I’m searching for her now . Hopefully you won’t mind her childlike behaviour . ”
Wang Yu Tang slightly blanked and looked around, yet he found no familiar silhouettes . Thinking that Song Ye is still young and yet is a cunning person, he had only laughed it off,
“It’s alright, it’s alright . I can just meet her tomorrow . Originally I had intended to let them meet Miss Song . How unfortunate, hehe……”
In the end, he’s a businessman, so no matter how awkward the situation has become, they can still turn the topic around in only a few sentences .
Just when the few of them knocked their glasses and drank their wine, there happened to be quite the ruckus by the entrance of the banquet . Zhao Zhen looked over and when his sight fell onto a certain silhouette, he was startled .
Qu Bai .
Isn’t the man that’s walking over from the entrance the young master of Qu Family, Qu Bai . He had a white formal attire and his pretty and fair face is a magnet that attract the girls’ attention, making him a playboy as part of his talent . And beside him stood a man who has a huge stature and stiff short hair . Even his jawline had also seemed stiff and frigid . The man released a strong, tensed atmosphere around him but a the same time, his face left a deep impression and he was good looking as well .

With these two walking together, they will for sure be the main focus of everyone . It will be difficult for them to not attract any attention .
The appearance of Qu Bai was out of expectation as the Qu Family is based in Jing Cheng, the capital . Even if Shi Town sends invitations over every year, no members of the Qu Family had attended this event . Not to mention Qu Bai had even put down his prideful manner and greeted everyone in a friendly manner, making countless businessmen approaching him .
Slowly, everyone found out that after two or three sentences, the topic will be turned towards the family members of the ones approaching him, as if he was trying to matchmake . And the one he’s trying to matchmake for is the man beside him that looks unapproachable .
“May I know where does Qin Shao came from?”
Because it was someone brought by Qu Bai, no one dared to look down on the man called as Qin Shao . But since he did not seem to be someone familiar amongst their circle, so everyone did not know how they should treat him .
But that man stood there stiff, with cold air around him, not allowing anyone to approach him, which caused Qu Bai’s face to smile so much to the point his face feels cramped and advised him in a low voice,
“I say, ol’ great young master, since you agreed to participate, can you please stop releasing all those cold air . ”
Qin Zhan did not look towards him and only threw a sentence to him,
“What I participate in is banquet, not matchmaking dinner . ”
