Evening.

The Four Seasons Hotel was brightly lit.

Ji Xiao, Ji Hongyuan, and the others were greeting the guests at the door when Gu Hengbo arrived.

Liao Quan quickly came out to greet him. “Teacher Gu, why are you late? Didn’t we agree to meet at six?”

It was already half past six.

Gu Hengbo looked at his watch and then said with a straight face, “Is Ziyin here?”

“She…” Liao Quan t s attention was diverted. “She’s not here yet. She’ll probably be here at seven. You know she’s in the Privy Council now and is usually busy with many things…”

Seeing that Gu Hengbo was frowning, he quickly said, “… But she told me she would be here at seven o’clock sharp.”

Only now did Gu Hengbo relax and walk inside. “Just in time! The other members of the WLA should be here by then.”

This time, Gu Hengbo had spent a lot of money to hold this celebration party for Ji Ziyin.

He had used all the connections he had built over the years.

Many factions in the independent continent still gave him face. Those factions with a little reputation sent people over.

People from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the Hacker Alliance, and so on came.

Even the top families like the Lus and the Xies sent people to support them.

Gu Hengbo even spent money to invite many masters from academia. He even shamelessly sent invitations to many former colleagues from the First Research Institute.

He bumped into Ji Xiao at the door. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, “Are the people from the First Research Institute here?”

Ji Xiao and Ji Hongyuan were in charge of greeting the guests.

Compared to Ji Hongvuan, Ji Xiao was tactful and better at interpersonal relationships.

He had always been on good terms with Gu Hengbo. When he heard this, he shook his head. “It’s still early. Perhaps Dean Feng and the others will come later.’

For such a high-level banquet, the slightly more important guests would pay attention to the order of entry.

For example, someone of Feng Yu’s status definitely would not arrive early.

It would be demeaning.

Gu Hengbo knew that even if Feng Yu came, he would not arrive early.

However, he knew the probability of Feng Yu coming was almost zero.

“Let me know if he comes. I’ll come out and receive him,” Gu Hengbo reminded him.

“Yes, don’t worry.” Ji Xiao agreed readily, but a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes. He seemed to be mocking Gu Hengbo for treating him as a member of the First Research Institute and as the arrogant laboratory manager.

Time passed.

6:40 P.M.

The people Gu Hengbo invited began to arrive one after another.

Luxury cars gathered outside the Four Seasons Hotel. The parking attendants were dazzled.

The people from the Hacker Alliance were the first to arrive, then the Chamber of Commerce Alliance… Right after, a few luxury cars stopped at the entrance…

Gu Hengbo had also invited the big shots of the academic world from various countries. He, Liao Quan, and the others were in charge of receiving them.

With these masters’ presence, the celebration party immediately became more impressive. Some families and forces that were originally only planning to watch from afar also sent people.

For a moment, the banquet hall was crowded and lively.

Gu Hengbo exchanged a few simple pleasantries with a physics expert. Then, he looked at the time and called Liao Quan to take his place entertaining the academic guests.

He put down his cocktail glass and left the banquet hall..
