The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 361

Chapter 361 - Guests Were as Numerous as Clouds

Evening arrived in the blink of an eye.

Su Ming had purchased a new outfit for Su Qiu and treated her to a fresh hairstyle. The medicine she'd taken earlier had revitalized her, bringing a healthy flush to her cheeks. Gone was her previously lifeless appearance; she looked youthful once more.

No sooner had they settled into the car than Su Qiu's phone chimed. She glanced at the screen to find a message from Ye Fenglong with the details of the gathering.

“Is that a message from Young Master Ye?” Su Ming inquired, a grin on his face.

“Yes, he's sent the location for the gathering,” confirmed Su Qiu with a nod.

“And where might that be?” Su Ming asked, still smiling.

“The National Banquet Hotel,” Su Qiu replied, after a quick look at the address.

“National Banquet Hotel?” Su Ming raised his eyebrows in recognition. Why did that name seem familiar? Was it one of the top 100 companies from before? Young Master Ye really had some bad luck—out of all the hotels in Eastsea, he had to pick the National Banquet Hotel. But it made sense; whether it was Young Master Faang or Young Master Ye, they were both intent on flaunting their status and stepping on others. Naturally, they'd opt for the finest hotel.

Su Ming drove directly to the National Banquet Hotel. Upon arrival, they spotted Ye Fenglong at the hotel entrance, greeting guests. He was the epitome of elegance, clad in a designer suit, a Louis Vuitton tie, Hermes shoes, and a Patek Philippe watch—undoubtedly the most dashing man at the event.

?”Welcome, Boss Sun.”

“Please, President Chen, come inside!”

“Boss Wang, you've made it as well? I appreciate your effort.”

Young Master Ye was in his element, basking in the adulation. Spotting a car pulling up, his eyes sparkled with interest. It was an impressive vehicle—a Bentley Mulsanne, worth no less than ten million. The other magnates had nice cars, but this was exceptional. Who could this boss be? He made a mental note to introduce himself later; this person might prove to be a valuable connection.

With that thought, Ye Fenglong straightened his attire and approached with a welcoming smile. Just then, the car door swung open, and Su Ming stepped out.

?How could he be so young?

Ye Fenglong was convinced the man must be a scion of some major family.

He hadn't realized their school's reputation had reached such heights that even scions from prestigious families were drawn to it.

He was determined to befriend this individual, seeing it as his ticket into high society.

“Sir, I am the host of this banquet. Welcome to our event. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?” Ye Fenglong said, his face beaming with a respectful smile as he extended his hand.

?As he was smiling, the passenger door swung open.

Su Qiu stepped out of the car.

“It's you?” Ye Fenglong was taken aback.

He felt incredibly awkward.

Could it be that the person he was treating with such reverence was Su Qiu's boyfriend?

?”So, it's you two,” Ye Fenglong said, withdrawing his hand slightly. “Not bad at all. How much does it cost to rent this car for a day?”

Su Ming smiled. “Quite a bit. It's over 2000 a day.”

“Humph!” Ye Fenglong scoffed internally upon hearing Su Ming's admission.

Just as he suspected!

Those without money always try to look cool.

“Young man, we're not the same. We can easily rake in a few million a year, but for you, earning money must be tough. You can only make a few tens of thousands a year, and here you are, spending 2000 on a day's car rental. Such a waste.”

“Young man, one must live within their means. You shouldn't spend so much just to look cool.”

“Right?” Ye Fenglong said cheerfully, as if he were giving Su Ming friendly advice, though his smugness was barely concealed.

“Really?” Su Ming replied with a light smile. “Well, Young Master Ye, I appreciate your concern.”

?”Good to know you understand,” Ye Fenglong said, straightening up with a sense of satisfaction. “Now, let's go inside. There's food available at no cost: it's a buffet. Make sure to enjoy the feast.”

“Sure.” Su Ming nodded, still smiling, and walked in with Su Qiu.

Ye Fenglong's expression soured instantly.

They were utterly shameless.

Most people would have fled in embarrassment after hearing Ye Fenglong's remarks.

?Su Ming had actually gone inside to eat. Given that, Ye Fenglong was not about to extend any courtesies to them. He was looking forward to showing off in front of Su Ming and the others later, and he hoped they wouldn't feel too embarrassed.

Just then, a sports car roared in from the distance. Ye Fenglong's face broke into a smile, and he quickly approached the vehicle. “Brother Xiao! What brings you here? You're a distinguished young master from the capital. Your presence graces my humble abode.” Ye Fenglong raised his voice intentionally, making sure Su Ming and Su Qiu could hear him. Such was the disparity.

?Su Qiu should hurry up and throw herself into his arms. Hanging around with a pauper was utterly dull. “Brother Xiao, please, come inside!” Ye Fenglong was elated.

Though he was the son of the principal, Eastsea University was only well-known locally. He had long aspired to mingle with the elite and join the circles of the capital's young masters, but lacked the means. Now, the opportunity had presented itself.

Ye Fenglong personally escorted Brother Xiao inside. No sooner had he stepped out than another car sped up to the entrance. An elderly gentleman alighted from the vehicle. “My goodness! Mr. Tang!” Ye Fenglong was astounded to see the old man. He hadn't anticipated such prestigious figures attending the school's banquet.

“Are you Ye Fenglong?” The old man scrutinized him.

“Yes!” Ye Fenglong replied, honored.

“I've heard that your medical college has produced some exceptional talents…”

“Don't worry. If you're interested, I can provide you with a detailed list right away. If they agree, I'll arrange for you to meet them immediately,” Ye Fenglong offered eagerly.

“Very well.” Mr. Tang nodded, said no more, and, with his entourage and cane, proceeded inside.

“Please, take your time, sir. I'll come by to offer a toast shortly,” Ye Fenglong called after him, wiping the sweat from his brow. He could hardly believe the caliber of guests arriving. Tonight was an excellent opportunity to network, and he was determined not to miss it.

Before long, all the guests had arrived. Ye Fenglong checked the time; the gathering was about to start. He made his way inside, searching high and low until he finally spotted Su Ming and Su Qiu in a corner, lounging on a sofa and enjoying refreshments.

Then, with a hint of a smile, he made his way over.
