Chapter 362 - The Moment When My Brilliance Is at Its Peak

“Brother, this egg yolk pastry is so delicious.”

“Brother, the flavor of this meat floss is really good. You should try some.”

“The sushi tastes great too.”

Su Qiu was walking alongside Su Ming.

Whether the gloom in her heart was concealed or had been cleared away was uncertain.

She had regained a bit of her girlish cheerfulness.

Ye Fenglong approached upon hearing Su Qiu speak.

He inwardly scoffed.

He thought to himself, ‘These two really do seem like they're penniless.'

“To me, these crispy egg yolk pastries and sushi snacks are quite mundane.”

“I notice you two are enjoying them immensely.”

“You're quite pitiable, aren't you?”

?Although Su Qiu called Su Ming ‘Brother,' it's not uncommon for some girls to refer to their boyfriends as ‘brother' when in a relationship, so there was no cause for suspicion.

“You're in the middle of eating.”

Ye Fenglong gave a slight smile and sat down next to them.

Su Qiu instinctively shifted away.

Su Ming smiled and said, “Yes, thanks, Young Master Ye. We haven't had dinner yet this evening.”

“Then make sure you eat plenty.”

Ye Fenglong returned the smile.

“I'll need to mingle and share drinks with some distinguished guests later, so I won't have the opportunity to chat with you.”

“Let's talk a bit before the banquet gets underway.”

“We have quite a few VIPs attending this event.”

“I assure you, you've never encountered them before.”

“Do you see that man over there? Wang Guohui is my uncle. He owns a multinational Trade Company with assets in the billions.”

Ye Fenglong boasted with unmistakable pride.

Su Ming thought to himself, ‘Wang Guohui?'

He paused for a moment.

“So it is him!”

The old fellow was glowing with a ruddy complexion.

Clutching a glass of red wine, he was flirting with a pretty waitress.

It looked like he was on the verge of success.

‘Old lecher,' Su Ming mused.

?Ye Fenglong caught Su Ming's expression and mistook it for awe.

Ye Fenglong continued his monologue with increased vigor.

“See that guy? He's a prominent young master from the capital and he's my brother.”

Ye Fenglong pointed out with a triumphant air.

Su Ming took another look.

He thought, ‘Isn't that Xiao Chen?'

‘What's he doing here?'

Ye Fenglong noticed Su Ming's bewildered look and stood a little taller.

?Ye Fenglong congratulated himself, ‘My performance is flawless.'

“Every person in this room is a VIP.”

“Each one is a tycoon.”

“Wouldn't they intimidate you, a mere pauper?”

“You really think you can compete with me for a woman?”

“Take a good look and see clearly.”

“Crossing me is the biggest mistake you'll ever make.”

“See that guy over there? He's the owner of the National Banquet Hotel, a billionaire. That's my uncle,” Ye Fenglong boasted with pride.

?His ego knew no bounds.

‘My status is already quite high,' Ye Fenglong mused.

‘After all, I'm the son of a university president.'

‘And with all these wealthy individuals here…'

‘Crushing Su Ming will be a breeze.'

“Alright, I'll leave you to it for now. I have people to meet,” Ye Fenglong said cheerfully as he stood and straightened his attire.

?”Mixing with these high-profile individuals every day is exhausting,” he declared with an air of self-importance.

?Ye Fenglong walked off with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

In his mind, he thought, ‘You're envious, aren't you?'

‘You're jealous, right?'

‘This is just a typical day for me.'

‘Yet, it's a pinnacle you'll never reach in your lifetimes.'

Ye Fenglong was eager to flaunt his status in front of Su Ming.

?He struck up a conversation with one person, then another.

?Even though several of them didn't recognize him, once they learned he was the president's son, they showed him a degree of respect.

This was, after all, an event at Eastsea University.

Soon it would be time for the autumn admissions.

Eastsea University is renowned and ranks among the top in the province.

?The credentials of its students carry significant weight.

Hiring students from Eastsea University benefits the company's growth.

?Moreover, it's an opportunity for the students to work in their home region.

The turnover and job-hopping rates among these students are notably low.

Another half hour ticked by.

Su Ming and Su Qiu had nearly finished their meal.

They relaxed on the sofa, observing Ye Fenglong as he mingled throughout the room.

Just then, a cough echoed through the speakers, and the music came to an abrupt halt.

Everyone turned their attention to the side, where a small stage stood. On it was a middle-aged man bearing a resemblance to Ye Fenglong. He was Ye Fenglong's father, Ye Guang. With a hearty laugh, Ye Guang expressed his gratitude, “Thank you all for joining us at our school's celebration.”

“Our graduates this year have surpassed those of previous years in excellence,” he continued. “I'm confident that you'll all find the talented individuals you're seeking.”

?”However, I must confess I'm an old academic at heart and have a hard time remembering faces. I'll let my son do the introductions.” Ye Guang's eyes then found Ye Fenglong.

Could Ye Guang truly not remember anyone? As the principal of a school, it seemed unlikely. Even if he struggled with names, it wouldn't be inappropriate for him to bring notes onstage, would it? Clearly, Ye Guang was creating an opportunity for his son to shine.

Ye Fenglong, aware of his father's intentions, beamed with pride. He straightened his attire and wore a self-assured grin he believed to be exceptionally charming. Approaching the podium, he offered a respectful bow.

“Thank you for attending Eastsea University's banquet,” Ye Fenglong greeted the crowd. “Today, we are graced with a host of guests—some familiar faces and some esteemed newcomers.”

?”Allow me to make some introductions.” Ye Fenglong was clearly trying to look cool, aiming to flaunt his wide network and make a lasting impression on everyone present. The room was filled with various entrepreneurs, and although Ye Fenglong didn't usually mingle with them, he knew the importance of keeping up appearances.

How else would he assert his identity, his status, or ensure that the influential guests would remember him? Among the hundreds gathered, including Su Ming, Ye Fenglong sensed their anticipation for his performance.

Seeing the eager looks, Ye Fenglong's satisfaction grew. He was brimming with pride. “This is President Chen, the head of Tianhua Bank!” he announced, starting from the left with his introductions.

The crowd murmured in awe, “It's actually President Chen!” “He's the head of the largest bank in Eastsea—a truly formidable figure.”

?Last time I sought a loan from Tianhua Bank, a junior employee there processed my application. He mentioned that a loan of five hundred thousand yuan was just pocket change.”

“I've heard that the loans President Chen approves are at least a hundred million yuan.”

“We definitely need to invite President Chen for a drink later.”

The moment Ye Fenglong's words fell, the room erupted in excitement.

Many of the entrepreneurs present had never laid eyes on President Chen.

All they knew was that President Chen from Tianhua Bank in Eastsea was an influential figure.

Now that they had the chance to meet him, they were eager to ingratiate themselves.

“This gentleman is the chairman of Wang Group, Wang Guohui, Mr. Wang.”

Ye Fenglong continued with the introductions.

“My goodness. The chairman of one of the top ten Trade Companies in the nation?”

“I've heard his net worth is nearing a hundred billion.”

“He's truly a titan of industry.”

“To stand in the same room and share the air with him is an absolute honor!”

The crowd was abuzz with admiration.
