Chapter XIV
Among all of you, there are people that my Zhao Clan does not welcome!
Logically speaking, Lin Tian was not qualified to enter a party of this level.
At best, he was just a manager of the Xing Hai Corporation's investment department. He could barely be considered a retainer of the Zhao family, but he was just a retainer.
Looking at the three-story banquet hall that was surrounded by transparent special glass, Lin Tian sighed slightly.
This was the power of power and money!
He stopped and said to Shang Chan with a smile on his face.
"CEO... Shang Chan, I won't go in. I don't think I'm qualified enough with my status.”
Lin Tian did not have any self-pity or regret. He was just a villain after transmigrating, what could he do?
Perhaps, during his previous interactions with Shang Chan, he had vaguely developed some thoughts that he shouldn't have. However, when he saw this banquet hall, he had already given up on his fantasies and returned to reality.
Staying away from these wealthy families and hiding was the way of the king.
As for Shang Chan
Lin Tian frowned. For some reason, he felt his nose sting.
Once he entered the cage, it was as deep as the sea. In Jiang Yifeng's hands, Shang Chan should not have any strength to resist, right? Why did he feel uncomfortable for no reason?
Shang Chan turned around and looked at Lin Tian's slightly furrowed brows. His thoughts sounded in his ears.
She pursed her lips and spoke softly.
"No, Lin Tian, you have to go in with me.”
"Hmm?"
"Have you forgotten? I told you that I prepared a gift for you today.”
"Wha... What gift?"
Lin Tian suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he saw Shang Chan smile.
The man in front of her seemed to have changed his stance!
From the beginning, he had to stay away, to pity himself, to scold Jiang Yifeng, and now to feel uncomfortable.
Shang Chan could feel the change in Lin Tian.
If Lin Tian wasn't present tonight, how was she going to give him a gift?
Shang Chan paused and said.
"You might not like this gift very much, but I hope that after you see this gift, you will think about whether you want to resign or not."
She took a deep breath and her expression turned cold. Her eyes regained the indifference and calmness of the Zhao family's legitimate daughter and the CEO of Xing Hai.
"Let's go. My father is waiting for us.”
Lin Tian looked at Shang Chan's waiting gaze. After a while, he sighed slightly.
Forget it. At most, he would just hide in a corner and not speak. This kind of scene where Jiang Yifeng was in the limelight, he had to see it with his own eyes. It was really disgusting! However, after today, there would probably be no chance to meet again.
To be in the limelight?
Shang Chan smiled, his eyes filled with coldness.
After Lin Tian nodded, Shang Chan was like a real queen. She raised her chin slightly and walked into the banquet hall.
Lin Tian, who was following behind her, did not attract anyone's attention, and no one came to stop him.
......
In the banquet hall, the moment Shang Chan appeared, everyone's gaze gathered.
There were at least 300 people present. There were dignitaries from the business, political, and military circles, as well as spectators from other families and celebrities.
There were also many clansmen of the Zhao clan.
Without a doubt, the focus of tonight was Shang Chan.
People had learned from various channels that Shang Chan was the person who offered the first incense in the Zhao Clan's ancestral worship ceremony this year. This meant that from now on, until the day Zhao Zhong passed away, Shang Chan would be the person the Zhao Clan supported.
The last person to offer incense was Zhao Dongyun, who was also the current head of the Zhao family!
Therefore, when Shang Chan appeared, everyone paid the most attention. This also caused Lin Tian, who was following behind Shang Chan, to not attract anyone's attention.
Lin Tian also understood that it was best for him to find a corner and observe quietly. No matter what happened at the banquet today, it had nothing to do with him.
When Jiang Yifeng was in the limelight, it was best for him to go to the toilet and squat for an hour. Out of sight, out of mind!
Thinking of this, Lin Tian went straight to the dining table beside him. There were all kinds of exquisite food, wine, and cigars on it. He took some meat and a cigar without hesitation, then ran to the resting area in the corner and sat down.
The light gathered in the center of the banquet hall, and people in luxurious clothes came and went.
There were not many people in Lin Tian's position. He seemed to be isolated from everyone.
......
As Shang Chan walked, everyone looked at her kindly. Those who were familiar with her nodded slightly to greet her, while those who were not familiar with her also said cheerfully," Eldest Miss is so beautiful today."
Zhao Dongyun and Zhao Mengmeng stood quietly on the stage at the front, watching Shang Chan walk over.
Zhao Mengmeng asked softly.
"Father, are you really going to fall out with Second Uncle and Third Uncle today? Jiang Yifeng is Fengchen's major shareholder. If we really anger him, I'm afraid that other than Second Uncle and Third Uncle's resources, we might not be able to compete with Jiang Yifeng.”
Zhao Dongyun's expression was indifferent, and his gaze was calm.
He smiled and softly said.
"It's fine. Since your sister wants to fall out with you, then so be it. Even if your sister doesn't tear us apart, I'll have to talk it out sooner or later."
Zhao Dongyun looked at Shang Chan, then at Zhao Mengmeng beside him, and nodded in relief.
"Both of you have grown up. I can still protect you for another thirty years, but the moment your sister offers the first incense, the Zhao family will be hers. Just as your grandfather said, the Zhao family has not been passed down for long, and there is no 'since ancient times' to speak of.”
Zhao Mengmeng nodded obediently.
She looked at Shang Chan, who was like a moon surrounded by stars, and suddenly realized that the man who had been by her sister's side was not there.
"Where did he go?"
Zhao Mengmeng muttered to herself. Zhao Dongyun looked over curiously.
"Who is it?"
"A person named Lin Tian has always been by my sister's side.”
"Lin Tian?"
Zhao Dongyun was a little stunned. Wasn't that the spy he had planted in the sea of stars?
Although he said that he was a nail, he was just perfunctory to the Zhao family. For so many years, the most information that Zhao Dongyun had obtained from Lin Tian was not news about the Xing Hai Corporation, but whether Shang Chan was doing well.
Speaking of which, the first time he met Lin Tian seemed to have been a few years ago.
Zhao Dongyun did not care about this matter. A few seconds later, he moved aside with a smile in his eyes. He clapped his hands in relief and let Shang Chan stand in the middle.
"Hello everyone, I am Shang Chan."
Shang Chan did not stand on ceremony and spoke into the microphone coldly. Immediately, a warm applause came from below.
Pausing for a moment, Shang Chan continued.
"Welcome everyone to the Zhao Clan's ancestral worship banquet. According to tradition, I should be the one to say some old-fashioned polite words to everyone before inviting everyone to watch the ceremony. However, today's situation is a little special. Before inviting everyone to attend the ceremony, I have something to take care of.”
The smiles on everyone's faces slowly faded.
Those who were able to come here weren't fools. Everyone knew that this was perhaps the biggest event of the Zhao Clan's ancestral worship.
Below the stage, Bai Bing-Er pursed her red lips slightly and suddenly turned her head slightly to Bai Ze beside her.
"Father, the matter of me targeting Galaxy should have been exposed. I'm afraid you'll have to come forward to resolve this matter.”
Bai Bing-er was not incapable of solving the problem directly, but with her father around, why would she have to step in?
No one could guess what this woman was thinking.
"Oh?"
Bai Ze's gaze froze for a moment before he nodded and agreed.
Shang Chan looked at the crowd and spoke solemnly.
"Some of you are not welcome in our Zhao clan!”
In the corner, Lin Tian was eating exquisite food, as if what happened in the banquet hall had nothing to do with him.
However, he did not know what would happen today.
