Chapter 1501: Entering the Charity Gala

“What did you say?” Ning Fuxun almost jumped up too. Without thinking, he directly replied and decisively rejected Ning Aoxue, “If Lin Feng hasn’t done anything wrong, I won’t terminate the employment contract! Aoxue, first tell me, what exactly happened? Lin Feng wouldn’t bully you, would he?”

In Ning Fuxun’s mind, if Ning Aoxue hadn’t been bullied by Lin Feng, that kid, she definitely wouldn’t suddenly say she wants to terminate the contract with Lin Feng… If Ning Aoxue was indeed bullied by Lin Feng, Ning Fuxun might consider terminating the contract with Lin Feng, but aside from that, Ning Fuxun absolutely wouldn’t hurt the relationship with Lin Feng casually!

One must know, times are different now, Lin Feng is no longer the boy with no background; being able to hire a master like Lin Feng to ensure Ning Aoxue’s safety for ten thousand yuan a month is a great bargain for Ning Fuxun… In fact, Ning Fuxun has been worried recently that Lin Feng might quit on him!

Su Zi also looked at Ning Aoxue with some curiosity, wanting to know if Lin Feng bullied Ning Aoxue, which led her to have such thoughts.

“Lin Feng didn’t bully me… Since father you think it’s unnecessary to terminate the contract, then forget it! Just pretend I never said it…” Ning Aoxue didn’t expect Ning Fuxun to reject her request so decisively, feeling shocked inside yet somewhat relieved… It wasn’t that she couldn’t decide to terminate the contract with Lin Feng, it’s just that her father didn’t agree.

Ning Aoxue seemed to have completely forgotten a phrase called self-deception.

Ning Fuxun paused for a moment; he originally thought after rejecting Ning Aoxue’s request, that girl would explode in fury, but who knew she would just let it be?

Ning Fuxun cast a seeking glance at Su Zi, who was unaware of what had happened, and shrugged helplessly at Ning Fuxun.

Even Su Zi didn’t know what happened; it seems daughters’ minds are really hard to comprehend, Ning Fuxun thought somewhat helplessly, but Ning Aoxue showed an unwillingness to explain. He could only suppress his curiosity and take the two girls to attend the charity gala.

…

At five in the afternoon, the Four Seasons Hotel as the venue for the Fashion Celebrities Charity Night was already bustling. A red carpet was laid outside the hotel, where hundreds of security guards were maintaining order. Luxury cars continuously arrived at the hotel entrance, dropping off one famous celebrity after another. Hundreds of reporters erected long-barreled cameras on both sides of the red carpet, and the dazzling flashlights seemed never to cease. As the evening approached, more big-name stars began to appear, gradually heightening the on-site atmosphere…

“Isn’t that Liu Sisi who just got married? Didn’t expect her to attend this charity gala, and she brought her newlywed husband, Wu Qilong…”

“Wow, another big name, Zhang Ziyi… She actually showed up alone?”

“Hey, weren’t the two Bingbing sisters rumored to be at odds? How come they’re walking the red carpet together?”

Amidst endless discussions, this Fashion Celebrities Charity Night had not even started, yet it was already breaking news across entertainment sections on various websites in China’s entertainment circles, becoming the headline news of all major sites for the day.

Meanwhile, the passage for businessmen and officials who prefer to be more low-key was located at the side entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel. Compared to the hustle and bustle at the main entrance, the side entrance appeared much quieter. However, if there were professionals present, they would notice better security work near the side entrance, where armed special police guarded the site.

At this moment, two business cars, almost without any gap, stopped at the side entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel one after the other almost simultaneously. The doors of both cars opened almost simultaneously, and two pairs of men and women stepped out.

From the business car parked in front came a man who was notably one of the top ten richest people in Jiangzhou City, Tang Zhendong; beside Tang Zhendong, the young beauty in a fur coat was not his partner, but his precious daughter, Tang Rou.

Tang Zhendong and Tang Rou both looked displeased; after getting out of the car, they both glanced with some resignation at the couple emerging from the business car behind theirs.

“Cousin… Little Rou… Haha, what a coincidence! Just got out of the car and bumped into you!” This sharp voice filled with flattery belonged to Tang Zhendong’s cousin, Tang Rou’s Aunt Fang Xiaomei, and standing next to her was naturally Wang Cong, who seemed somewhat guilty, not daring to make eye contact with Tang Zhendong.

“Hmph!” Tang Zhendong snorted discontentedly, slightly squinted his eyes, and said to Fang Xiaomei, “We just left home and you were trailing right behind us, yet you have the nerve to call it coincidence? Tell me, what do you two actually want? Say it clearly here!”

Old scores and grievances made Tang Zhendong quite dissatisfied with his opportunistic cousin, Fang Xiaomei, so he spoke directly without sugarcoating, even dropping formal greetings.

“Cousin, don’t misunderstand… We just happened to meet your car halfway, and knowing you were going to attend the gala, we ended up coming together! We truly have no other intentions…” Fang Xiaomei explained to Tang Zhendong with some embarrassment, her flushed face showing genuine sincerity…

Fang Xiaomei genuinely wanted to mend her relationship with Tang Zhendong… After Chairman Wang from her company distanced himself from her once he learned about her failed introductions involving the marriage, especially after Fang Xiaomei vaguely found out that Wang Zheng had clashed with Lin Feng and came out worst, she knew Chairman Wang wouldn’t befriend her. To avoid being caught between both sides, Fang Xiaomei ultimately decided to shamelessly rely on cousin Tang Zhendong again!

This is why in the afternoon, Fang Xiaomei had dragged her husband to stake out not far from the Tang family residence and once Tang Zhendong’s car emerged, they followed them to the Four Seasons Hotel, staging this encounter by chance!

Little did Fang Xiaomei expect Tang Zhendong would be so blunt, almost chastising her right there.

“Hmph, it’s good if you have no intentions…” Tang Zhendong coldly replied, then immediately started walking towards the entrance with Tang Rou’s hand without looking back. Under Fang Xiaomei’s disappointed gaze, Tang Zhendong took out his invitation and handed it to the guard at the door, promptly going inside.

“It’s over, it’s over, cousin is really mad at me this time… How will I ever get those cheap supplies from him again…” Fang Xiaomei anxiously muttered to herself, watching Tang Zhendong leave without mercy.

Knowing you needed to rely on your cousin, why did you keep trying to take advantage of Little Rou before? Wang Cong, standing beside Fang Xiaomei, thought to himself with annoyance at his wife, yet he dared not express it.

“Hey, isn’t that Chairman Wang’s car? What a coincidence…” Having just been lost, Fang Xiaomei suddenly perked up, noticing a Porsche Cayenne approaching, declaring with some excitement.
