Chapter 2236 - 720: Going All Out with the Act (Part 2)

At the time of arrangement, Zhao Peng’s family naturally placed them at the tables in the corner by the entrance.

The reason was: easy access, and to avoid showing inadequacy in front of those "big shots".

This was expected, yet unexpectedly, this unintended arrangement allowed them to witness all the glorious moments of Lin Muxue’s entrance.

But at the same time, it also starkly revealed that the Zhao family indeed did not take her maternal relatives seriously.

But now, with Xue’s appearance, the weight was entirely different!

The so-called distinguished guests from the Zhao family, like the fleetingly glanced Director Feng, also had to respectfully follow behind Xue?

After all, she was a guest received by provincial leaders!

She stepped forward, affectionately holding her future mother-in-law’s arm.

With a hint of perfect grievance and coquettishness on her face: "Mom, look at this seating arrangement... My aunt and uncle are sitting here, so far from the main table, making it inconvenient for toasting and chatting later. How about... letting everyone move to those tables in front?"

Mother Zhao was taken aback and hadn’t reacted yet.

Zhao Changhong immediately slapped his thigh, full of regret and self-blame:

"Ah! Look at my brain! It’s all my fault! I didn’t consider it thoroughly! Didn’t consider it thoroughly!"

"Jiajia is right! This must be changed!"

He immediately turned around, loudly calling to the hotel manager not far away: "Waiter! Manager! Come over quickly!"

Then, under Zhao Changhong’s personal direction.

The entire banquet hall’s back area began a flurry of activity.

Shi Mengjia’s mother’s two tables of relatives were respectfully guided to the area near the main table by the waitstaff.

Wang Suxia, Wang Xiangtong, Chaohui, and others, while passing by the tables of Zhao family’s business partners.

Seeing those "big shots" who previously ignored them now rise with polite and friendly smiles.

Finally, slowly realizing—

Xue, simply by showing her face and saying a few words in front of everyone.

Was enough to make their entire family ascend in this party not originally belonging to them.

Huge sense of honor made everyone feel dizzy, overwhelmed with emotions.

At the same time, more details about Lin Muxue and the government reception banquet next door spread like wildfire within the hall.

"Did you hear? Next door is a strategic project spearheaded by the National Energy Department and TY Precision!"

"That ’Western Photovoltaic New Energy Cluster’, I heard the total investment is calculated in hundreds of billions!"

"Our Xue’s Rongliu Capital is the financial institution invited to invest in our homeland this time! She herself is the Chief Assistant of the company, a legitimate executive!"

...

Relatives listened with excitement, discussing heatedly.

They might not know "Rongliu Capital", but who hasn’t heard of "TY Precision"?

That’s one of the top domestic technology companies! You see it in the news all the time!

The giant industry park in Chang’an high-tech zone, the leading enterprise is precisely TY Precision’s western manufacturing base.

Those who can work there are top talents, saying it out loud brings prestige!

As they were discussing excitedly.

A guest from the table next suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass, and proactively walked over.

The man, looking in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had a refined demeanor, clearly a successful person.

He walked directly up to Lin Baoshan, wearing a warm smile: "You must be President Lin’s father, right? Hello, hello, I’m Zhang Tao from Citic Securities, having some business relations with President Zhao. I didn’t expect President Lin from Rongliu Capital is also a native of Chang’an. Your daughter truly is young and talented, with limitless prospects!"

The relatives were flattered, quickly rising to reciprocate.

Cousin Wang Chaohui, plucking up the courage, cautiously asked: "Well, President Zhang, may I presumptuously ask, what kind of company is Rongliu Capital? Is it very powerful?"

Zhang Tao raised an eyebrow at the question, then laughed softly: "Powerful is an understatement, Rongliu Capital’s headquarters are in Xiang River, an internationally renowned private equity fund, managing assets with a total volume close to a thousand billion RMB."

He paused with admiration in his tone: "President Lin being able to become the Chief Assistant at Rongliu Capital at this age, is truly exceptional!"

"A thousand billion... RMB?!"

This phrase, like a bomb, exploded in the fragile cognition of the relatives.

Second aunt Wang Suyun trembled, her chopsticks clattering straight down onto the floor.

Brother Lin Muchuan sat there rigidly, ears ringing.

He thought of his precarious job, thought of his wife’s taunts about his "incompetence", thought of the awkwardness of having to count coins for a pack of cigarettes when leaving home earlier...

Then compared to his sister at the moment, immense shame and helplessness engulfed him like a tide.

Zhang Tao exchanged a few more polite pleasantries before finally taking leave.

The shock he brought, however, lingered like echoing waves.

Following this, those dignitaries who previously wouldn’t even spare them a glance, actively approached to toast and converse, using extremely polite and fawning words.

Wang Suxia and Lin Baoshan, two ordinary rural people, had never seen such a scene, could only stand clumsily with wine glasses, repeating "No, not at all, not at all."

That enormous sense of honor, observed by everyone in the room, made the flush on their faces from excitement glow brightly.
