Chapter 34: Mr. Tang is Looking for You
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" Tang Renwang stepped forward, his face breaking into a smile that seemed as warm as the spring breeze.
"First off, I thank everyone for coming. The old master might still be getting tormented by the makeup artist, he will come to meet everyone once everything is ready. For this occasion, we have specially invited some of the young talents of our Yan Kingdom, hoping everyone can engage in extensive exchanges. After all, the future belongs to the youth." Tang Renwang spoke handsomely.
Many people applauded in agreement.
Tang Renwang is a business tycoon in Sui City and holds a very high status in the Sui City business community.
Of course, he is also a big name in the entire Yan Kingdom.
Even if he didn't speak well, there would still be people willing to give face and applaud.
"Xiao Rao, come with me to greet some of the elders," Tang Renwang called out to Tang Rao. Although most of the guests were young people, there were still older generations present.
"Not going, I need to find someone," Tang Rao outright rejected Tang Renwang. Before Tang Renwang could react, Tang Rao had already plunged into the crowd with a glass of wine in hand.
He had to use this opportunity at the wine party to find the brat who had been sabotaging him.
Intuition told Tang Rao that the brat was somewhere in a corner of the banquet hall at this moment.
Tang Rao's first target was Ye Xiaobai of the Ye Family—one of Lang Huan's suitors, and among all the suitors, his overall abilities stood at the forefront.
Furthermore, Tang Rao had seen Ye Xiaobai's photo; the guy was quite handsome and seemed sincere and simple when he smiled. He might very well be the brat who had sabotaged him.
Soon, Tang Rao located Ye Xiaobai amidst the crowd.
Many people were gathered around the young man, all with smiles on their faces, chatting enthusiastically.
Evidently, as the son of the Ye Family, Ye Xiaobai was someone many sought to ingratiate themselves with.
Tang Rao found a sofa, sat down with his wine in hand, and squinted his eyes as he watched Ye Xiaobai, observing his every move.
The young man held a glass in his hand, but the top-quality red wine inside hadn't decreased by a drop.
Seems like he doesn't enjoy red wine much.
"I wonder if it's this guy, need to find a chance to talk to him," Tang Rao mumbled. Just speaking one sentence with Ye Xiaobai would be enough to judge whether it was him.
Tang Rao was very familiar with that brat's voice.
"And then there's Lu He, he could be a possibility too," Tang Rao glanced sideways towards another direction. Lu He's demeanor was quite similar to Ye Xiaobai's, both had that kind of delicate and dullish appearance.
Sigh... Just as Tang Rao was about to stand up, a figure clad in white sat down next to him.
Then, a faint fragrance wafted over, a pleasant perfume scent.
Tang Rao turned his head to look, the woman was also looking at him.
The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with very bright eyes, dressed in a white gown, looking very much like a fairy.
Her slightly curly hair rested on her shoulders, and her face had a hint of blush, apparently from drinking wine.
"Young Master Tang, why are you sitting here alone?" The woman spoke up, wearing a confident smile, her bright red lips parted slightly, revealing pearly white teeth.
"Speaking of which, although you are a beauty, could you introduce yourself first?" Tang Rao asked, tilting his head, as if he didn't know the woman.
Hearing Tang Rao's words, the woman's smile deepened.
"It's normal for Young Master Tang to not recognize me; let me introduce myself, my surname is Jiang – the Jiang of rivers and mountains – and my name is Jiang Nuanqiu."
Tang Rao rolled his eyes — Jiang Nuanqiu? He had never heard of her.
But I am quite familiar with Jiang Langhuan and Jiang Langyue.
"I'll tell you a secret, actually, I sneaked in," Jiang Nuanqiu said with pursed lips and a smile.
"Are you here to snag a rich man?" Tang Rao asked.
""
"I'm not just anybody, I'm here to find clients. There are big tycoons here, just getting one on board would be enough to make me soar high," Jiang Nuanqiu said directly, she never liked to beat around the bush.
Tang Rao looked at Jiang Nuanqiu with interest.
"Does Young Master Tang have an interest in our products?" Jiang Nuanqiu asked.
"What products?" Tang Rao inquired.
Jiang Nuanqiu knew that tonight's banquet was hosted by the Tang Family, yet she deliberately sought him out and said she sneaked in, not sure what she was aiming for.
"I work in an antique store," Jiang Nuanqiu said.
Tang Rao's eyes lit up slightly, antiques...
To be honest, he had been thinking about visiting the antiques market recently to see if he could find some suitable alchemy equipment.
"Sui City Antiques Market, Baofeng Pavilion," Jiang Nuanqiu added.
"Why did you come to me?" Tang Rao asked, he always had the feeling that Jiang Nuanqiu had her sights set on him.
"Because you are friends with Xue Fei, and Xue Fei is a good sister of mine. That being the case, we could also be considered friends, right?" Jiang Nuanqiu said, pursing her lips.
"Sun Xuefei?" Tang Rao was a bit surprised, he didn't remember telling Sun Xuefei his name.
"Mm-hmm, the one living in Ziyuan Villa driving a Koenigsegg, it's just you, Young Master Tang, so... it's quite easy to inquire about," Jiang Nuanqiu said.
Honestly, she felt a bit nervous.
Many high-society folks really dislike others prying into their affairs.
"Is that so, well, since you and Xue Fei are sisters, then it's okay to be friends. As for antiques, I am quite interested indeed," Tang Rao said with a smile.
Jiang Nuanqiu's eyes suddenly brightened.
"However, you have to do something for me," Tang Rao grinned and said.
Seeing the smile at the corner of Tang Rao's mouth, Jiang Nuanqiu felt somewhat uneasy.
But in the end, she nodded: "Young Master Tang, just say it. If it's possible, I'll do it."
Tang Rao shifted his body, moved closer to Jiang Nuanqiu, then leaned in a bit and whispered into her ear.
Jiang Nuanqiu's body stiffened, her hands clenched tightly, and a look of disgust slowly crept into her eyes.
Indeed, all these rich playboys are cut from the same cloth.
Her coming over here to find Tang Rao and pitch antiques was one thing, but she also wanted to see what kind of person Tang Rao was.
She could tell that silly girl Xue Fei had a bit of a crush on Tang Rao, and she had been somewhat absent-minded these past few days.
"See that person?" Tang Rao extended his hand and pointed at Ye Xiaobai.
"Go tell him: 'Kiddo, Mr. Tang is looking for you,'" Tang Rao said, grinning.
Jiang Nuanqiu was stunned, she thought Tang Rao would want her to go to some hotel and do some things...
She did not expect it to be just this.
"Just like this?" Jiang Nuanqiu asked incredulously.
"Yeah, what else did you want? I am a person of principles and quality, don't think your beauty can bewitch me! Go on, get going, if you manage it, I'll come to you to buy antiques," Tang Rao urged Jiang Nuanqiu.
"Really come to me to buy antiques?"
"Indeed, we're friends after all!"
"Okay!" Jiang Nuanqiu stood up and took a long look at Tang Rao.
This guy, really isn't quite like the typical playboys. If it were those shallow and wealthy pretty boys, they would definitely have asked her to go to a hotel or something.
