Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

Zhao Hongan chose a smoked salmon roll with cheese cream.

One bite, and it's sweet and delicious.

He added another piece to his account.

They ate while admiring the beautiful women.

This banquet is a banquet for the film and television industry.

Besides directors and bigwigs who invest in the film and television industry, many celebrities also attended the banquet.

It has to be said, celebrities are celebrities.

In reality, most of them are also outstanding in appearance and temperament.

Zhao Hong'an was watching with great interest, hoping to find someone he liked and have Brother Tong tie them up... when he saw several people walking over.

Zhao Hong'an recognized one of them; it was Cao Jian.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao."

Cao Jian greeted Zhao Hong'an with a smile.

"These friends of mine would like to get to know Mr. Zhao. We apologize for any intrusion on your part."

"Um."

Zhao Hongan nodded and continued to eat the salmon roll with gusto.

If you knew it was presumptuous of you, you shouldn't have come.

Zhao Hong'an had absolutely no interest in making friends.

Cao Jian's smile froze slightly.

The people around him were somewhat unhappy.

"Mr. Zhao, I am Lin Zifeng. I am a Tsinghua University alumnus with Mr. Zhao Zekai. May I ask if you know Mr. Zhao?"

A young man in his thirties chatted with Zhao Hong'an with a smile.

"Zhao Zekai? I don't know him." Zhao Hong'an shook his head.

"Mr. Zhao isn't from the Zhao family of Yujing? Could it be that Mr. Zhao comes from the Zhao family of Huacheng?" Lin Zifeng asked with a smile.

"The Zhao family of Huacheng? Never heard of them."

Zhao Hongan finished the last bite of the salmon roll and continued to browse the food on the table.

Lin Zifeng was stunned.

Seeing that Zhao Hong'an didn't seem inclined to interact with them, the others simply stepped forward, introduced themselves, and then took their leave.

After walking a distance, Lin Zifeng glanced at Cao Jian.

"Cao Jian, is your intelligence reliable? This old man, you think he can scare you?"

An awkward expression flashed across Cao Jian's face, followed by a hint of displeasure.

"President Lin, as I mentioned before, this Zhao guy has a mysterious background... a mysterious background, you understand? Of course, I don't know anything about his origins."

"But what we businessmen fear most is running into a brick wall. We can't let our heads get clouded just because Yunding Group is practically our prey."

Yunding Group is one of the top private enterprises in Jiangcheng.

Based in Wuhan, with a nationwide presence, it has flourished and grown into a thriving enterprise.

Despite facing difficulties in recent years due to the downturn in the real estate market and the economic downturn.

But it's not something the Cao family alone can handle.

This Lin Zifeng comes from the Lin family in Jiangnan.

This time, the Cao family of Shanghai and the Lin family of Jiangnan joined forces, each using their family connections, to drive Yunding Group to the brink of collapse.

"Mysterious background? Pshaw."

Lin Zifeng curled his lip.

"Throughout the country, the two families with the surname Zhao that we should be wary of are the Zhao family of Yujing and the Zhao family of Huacheng."

"If this old man really comes from one of these two Zhao families, we will stop provoking Yunding Group without saying a word. All the arrangements we've made these past few days and the initial investments we made will be considered a loss."

Lin Zifeng paused slightly at this point, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces before finally meeting Cao Jian's eyes.

"Unfortunately, he isn't. Besides, he should understand our intentions since we've come to him like this."

"If he really had connections, he should have revealed it to us by now."

"Even if it's the Zhao family of Yujing or the Zhao family of Huacheng... if we lower our stance, they won't make enemies of us for no reason, right?"

"He couldn't possibly reveal his family background at this point, which only means... he doesn't have much of a background. At least, he doesn't have much of a background in China."

Cao Jian was slightly taken aback.

"Does Mr. Lin mean that this guy surnamed Zhao is a high-profile outsider who's returned from overseas?"

Lin Zifeng nodded.

"Based on what he's shown so far, there's no way he'll make us give up on Yunding Group. You said it yourself, Yunding Group is like a piece of fat meat right in front of us; we've already got our hands on some of the profits. How can we just watch a wild fox snatch it away?"

"At worst, we can try him out again later. Why is Mr. Cao getting more and more timid as he gets older?"

Lin Zifeng reached out and patted Cao Jian on the shoulder.

"Hahaha."

The people around them laughed along.

"I hope you're right."

Cao Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Hong'an is certainly capable.

But as long as it's not one of those big families in China, there's nothing to be afraid of.

The Cao and Lin families, even when joined forces, are not to be underestimated.

……

Is Yunding Group in trouble?

Zhao Hongan naturally heard Cao Jian and the others' conversation clearly.

Cao Jian and his group came here specifically to test him.

How could Zhao Hong'an not see it?

After these people left, Zhao Hong'an paid special attention to them.

And what I heard was actually quite useful.

Cao Jian and Lin Zifeng were both after Yunding Group.

On the surface, Yunding Group appears very successful, but in reality, it is fraught with crises.

Zhao Hongan's eyes lit up.

This is a great opportunity.

He was just worried about not having a chance to spend money and gain favor with Wang Shuying.

Wang Shuying is the daughter of CEO Wang of Yunding.

However, the amount of money spent since she became the target goddess is inconsistent with her status as the only daughter of a wealthy man in Jiangcheng.

Yunding Group can help.

However, the help should be provided in a planned and skillful manner.

For example, through Wang Shuying, we can help Yunding Group...

For a business battle of this scale, like Yunding Group, how massive is it?

With a tenfold return, how could it not be beyond a reasonable range?

Zhao Hongan wants ten times the money back.

No one ever complains about having too much money.

But what he really wanted was the special reward calculated by the system after he maxed out his account.

That's something you can't buy even if you have money.

Zhao Hongan made up his mind.

"Is Miss Song being disrespectful?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of barely suppressed anger.

The noisy banquet hall fell silent instantly.

Zhao Hongan followed and looked over.

There stood Cao Jian, Lin Zifeng, and their group, holding wine glasses.

Before them stood a young girl.

The girl was wearing a beige evening gown and high heels.

When Zhao Hongan saw this girl, his first impression was that she was stunning.

Zhao Hong'an is never short of women.

Recently, a group of girls have been surrounding him, each one beautiful and with an outstanding temperament.

He had long since lost his allure for women.

But the girl in the off-white evening gown still amazed him.

The girl's features were so exquisite and flawless, and when put together, they were so harmonious.

She had an oval face that was fair and delicate.

Tall with long legs and a shapely figure.

Song Dynasty porcelain.

Zhao Hongan recognized the girl at a glance.

She was a huge star in the country a few years ago, a top-tier celebrity.

In the past two years, scandals have surfaced, and suddenly he's lost his popularity... but he hasn't been blacklisted.

Zhao Hongan never expected to see Song Dynasty porcelain at this banquet.
