From that moment onwards, everyone in the ballroom looked at Chen differently. All their disdainful looks and suspicious had been replaced by respect and curiosity. However, Yap still looked at Chen like an enemy.
"Hmph! After all, the "clean" Uncle Murong is the one who made everyone attend this charity dinner. Without his presence, none of us will step foot in this stupid event!" Yap looked at Chen arrogantly and said.
"Yap Liangchen! What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that my dad is not qualified to attend this event?" Xiaoyao said angrily.
"Hehe…If those "dirty" people from the underworld can come and attend this event, then, Uncle Murong doesn’t even need to spend those years to "clean" himself!"
Yap shrugged and continued to say with a cold laugh, "Of course, I’m not trying to criticize Uncle Murong. I just want to take this opportunity to tell someone that a clown can never do anything big!"
"Are you trying to say that I’m not worthy?" Chen smiled calmly and asked.
"Yes! That’s right! You are not worthy! There’s no other powerful figure will come here and support you!" Yap rolled his eyes at Chen.
"Hehe…Don’t worry…You have plenty of opportunities to embarrass yourself later!" Chen was not affected by Yap’s comments at all. He even felt like laughing out loud.
"Embarrass myself? With what?!"
Yap said angrily, "I have taken a look at your guest list! There are only small-time characters attending this event! I don’t see anyone powerful enough to call themselves the boss of Green Vine City!"
Chen continued to say calmly, "This is Xiaoyao’s guest list! All these people are her connection. You have not seen my connections yet."
"You? Hehe…Is that a joke? Are you saying that you have connections in Green Vine City? Hahaha…" Yap was laughing hysterically. It was as if Chen had just told him a super hilarious joke.
"Mr Chen! We are really sorry for being late!" A magnetic voice can be heard from the entrance.
"Oh my God…How…Why are they here?"
All of a sudden, everyone was sounded really shocked. Even Murong Tian and Murong Xiaoyao were shocked as well. And, for Yap, he almost choked by his own saliva. There were five people standing at the entrance. The one that stood at the most left was the most beautiful lady in Green Vine City! Her body and face were something that can never be found on this earth! Also, her elegant and gentle presence made her looked like an angel fell from the sky! And, she is none other than Lan Mengchen!
The man that spoke just now was the richest man in Green Vine City; Lan Zhengguo! Then, the guy that stood next to him is one the most good-looking man in this city; Wu Junfan! Then, the man that stood at his left was his father; Wu Zhebang! Everyone knew that Wu Family is the third largest family in Green Vine City. Their family goes way back to history. Plus, their wealth is definitely strong enough to make them one of the most powerful family in this city. Initially, they were placed behind Lan Family and Wen Family.
However, Wen Family had been wiped off from Green Vine City. The mysterious disappearance of Wen Tiandou definitely played a part in the destruction of the entire family. Also, Wenfeng had gone into the hay. There’s no one around to take care of the family. Thus, Wu Family had replaced Wen Family, naturally. They are no longer at the second most powerful family in Green Vine City!
The presence of Lan Zhengguo and Wu Zhebang represented the economy of Green Vine City! Needless to say, this new reality brought an extremely powerful impact to everyone’s hearts! But, the impact was not over yet! There was an old man with white hair standing between Lan Zhengguo and Wu Zhebang. His status and position spoke for itself when the two most powerful men in Green Vine City looked up to him. He is the most influential politician in Green Vine City; Han Xianian! For the past twenty years, he is famous for his transparency! Everyone loves him for the transformation that he brought to Green Vine City.
He is the "cleanest" and most powerful person in Green Vine City. All of a sudden, the whole place was drop dead silence. Everyone had their attentions landed on Chen. Not only he earned massive respect from Murong Tian. He even managed to invite Elder Han and two leaders of the most influential families to his charity dinner. Chen’s connection in Green Vine City is just too damn terrifying!
At the same time, even Murong Tian was shaken by Chen’s powerful connection. He was glad that he lowered himself down to rely on Chen. It was a smart decision. On the other hand, Yap was completely speechless. All the words that he used to mock Chen earlier had turned into countless of slaps landed on his face. All he wanted to do right now is to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
"The most important guests are finally here! Everyone, please take a seat. Don’t just stand there." Chen smiled and said. He proceeded to invite the guests to take a seat. Yap was left standing alone, embarassed. Originally, he was one of the most important guests. But, Chen couldn’t care less about him. It was a pretty awkward situation for him.
"Master! Mr. Dai is here!"
A servant led a fashionable man into the ballroom. Yap started grinning. An opportunity for him to overcome the awkward situation is finally here!
"You can leave now!"
Yap waved his hand at the servant, smiled and said, "Mr. Dai! I have heard a lot about you! Please come with me to the VIP table!"
"Eh? Isn’t that Daiyu?
"Daiyu? It’s really him! The famous singer from the TV show!"
"The song that he sang; Wuking, is so famous that everyone in the country knows about it!"
"Not only are the lyrics good! His voice is pretty darn good as well! One the rare singers in our country!"
"Is he a special guest? It would be great if he can perform a song or two later!"
"I’m so looking forward to it! I’m his biggest fans!"
...…
While everyone was talking about him, Yap already led him to the VIP table.
"Let me introduce him to you guys officially, he is the famous singer; Daiyu! He is the special guest that I invited earlier to his charity dinner! Also, it considered one of the small presents that I give to Xiaoyao Charity Foundation!" Yap grinned and said shamelessly. It will be impropriating for Chen to chase them out.
However, the presence of Daiyu was a surprise to Chen.
"Mr. Dai, please take a seat."
Chen said, "I’m your fans! I was going to sing Wukong today. But, I think I shouldn’t go on the stage to perform since the original singer is here!"
"It can’t be!"
Yap spoke before Daiyu said anything.
