Fei Xiang De Shi Tou

Chapter 496 The Humbled Tycoon

Young masters, naturally, greeted Li Yufei with ease, and she responded with a smile.

At this time, some beautiful minor celebrities and models were also brought into the hall.

Because the dance party was about to begin.

These beautiful minor celebrities and models were prepared for the influential figures.

As for whether these minor celebrities and models could climb high, it depended on their own abilities.

And whether the young ladies and rich second-generation young masters took a liking to each other. If they did, they might invite the other to the dance floor for a ballroom dance. However, not many took a liking to each other. Some outstanding rich second-generations, like the unique eldest young master of the Leng family, Leng Yi, were not only handsome but also rumored to be a practitioner of ancient martial arts. Moreover, he was currently managing a branch company with assets of over two billion yuan, making him one of the elite among the rich second-generation.

At the same time, the Leng family's assets were over ten billion, reportedly as much as twenty to thirty billion yuan!

It was fitting to call him a rich second-generation, and equally fitting to call him a highly capable young boss!

At this moment, two people on the second floor, who had not rushed down, were watching the hall on the first floor. These two were the initiators of this banquet, one was the head of the Leng family, Leng Guangjiang, and the other responsible person was Xi Yingtian of the Xi family.

At this time, Xi Yingtian looked at Leng Guangjiang and said with a hint of flattery, "Old Brother Guangjiang, your Leng Yi is indeed a rare young talent. May I ask how Brother Leng is considering my proposal?"

"My son, he doesn't listen to me. If he takes a liking to your daughter, then everything is negotiable. If he doesn't, I can't do anything about it," Leng Guangjiang spread his hands and said helplessly. "We saw on the second floor that they aren't even standing together, clearly, even if we have this intention, they might not take a liking to each other. It's mainly because your daughter is dressed too—lacking in flair."

To say lacking in flair was already a polite way of putting it. To put it bluntly, she didn't look like a daughter of a wealthy family at all. Her attire was decent enough, but she wasn't wearing any jewelry. Instead, she wore a pair of very unfashionable thick-rimmed glasses, and her hair covered a lot of her face. If the lighting were dimmer, one might mistake her for a spectacled 'Sadako.'

"My daughter's appearance is exceptional. Although Li Yufei, who is causing such a stir, is truly beautiful, my daughter is in no way inferior to her. She just doesn't have as strong a presence," Xi Yingtian said helplessly. "This requires your son to be more proactive."

Leng Guangjiang shook his head and spread his hands. "As I said earlier, it depends on my son's own wishes. I can't control him now. He is very capable. If I try to control him, he dares to turn against me. You know, my third brother also really likes my son, and now my son's influence at home is not much weaker than mine."

In fact, he scoffed at Xi Yingtian's words. "Not inferior to Li Yufei when she takes off her glasses?" He didn't believe it at all, but he didn't voice it out, or everyone's expressions would turn unpleasant.

To be honest, the reason he agreed to Xi Yingtian's proposal to jointly organize this banquet was because his son, Leng Yi, had taken a fancy to Li Yufei.

That's right, his son Leng Yi had seen Li Yufei and was astonished by her beauty. He hoped to use this opportunity to pursue Li Yufei. Otherwise, with his family's assets of twenty to thirty billion yuan, and his powerful third brother holding a prominent position, how could he possibly agree to co-host this banquet with the Xi family, whose net worth barely exceeded ten billion yuan?

Upon hearing Leng Guangjiang mention his third brother, Xi Yingtian opened his mouth but said nothing further.

"Of course, to be fair, I've already told you about my family's situation. Even if my son fancies your daughter, the outcome might be that your daughter could only be my son's second or third concubine," Leng Guangjiang said seriously. "The first wife, that's impossible."

Hearing this, Xi Yingtian's face showed a hint of sadness, but he still smiled wryly and nodded.

If he had a choice, he certainly wouldn't want his daughter to be someone's concubine. However, the more he came into contact with high society, the more powerless he felt. He was already being targeted by many forces. Whether it was to completely solve his daughter's health problems or to protect his family's vast assets, he had to make a choice that he was not entirely willing to make.

"Let's go down as well!" Leng Guangjiang said.

"Alright, Brother Guangjiang." Xi Yingtian replied repeatedly, his tone towards Leng Guangjiang carrying a hint of flattery.

First floor hall.

Leng Yi looked at the woman with an extraordinary temperament and stunning beauty. His heart pounded. He could tell that Li Yufei had made a deliberate effort to dress up. She seemed even more beautiful than when he had seen her a while ago. Indeed, after being "nourished" by Yang Feilong, although they hadn't reached that stage yet, the nourishing supplements weren't eaten in vain. Her body's radiance and other aspects had greatly improved.

If she was a goddess of 94 or 95 before, she was now a goddess of 98 or 99!

Therefore, at this moment, she was eclipsing all other beauties, and she was elegant and refined, exuding a sense of aloof grace.

"Yufei, we meet again." Leng Yi showed a kind smile.

"Boss Leng, it's better to watch your words. You can either call me Boss Li or Li Yufei." Facing Leng Yi's intimate tone, Li Yufei only showed a perfunctory smile, and her address was also formal.

This caused Leng Yi's expression to stiffen slightly.

"In such an occasion, I think it's better to be a little more casual. Calling me boss is too distant, don't you think?" Leng Yi smiled, as if he hadn't taken Li Yufei's words of keeping him at arm's length to heart.

He had dated many girlfriends and naturally knew how to pursue a goddess. First, he had to shorten the distance in terms of address. As long as neither party was disgusted, they could gradually get closer, and even progress further.

"You have a point. Young Master Leng Yi." Li Yufei said with a light smile.

"......" Leng Yi was quite speechless. Well, at least this address was much better than before.

In fact, as Leng Yi struck up a conversation with Li Yufei, those young masters who were interested in Li Yufei shook their heads in frustration. Even Leng Yi seemed somewhat outshone when facing Li Yufei. They felt that if they were to step forward, they would be even more awkward.

Leng Yi took a deep breath and prepared to invite Li Yufei for a dance. "Li Yufei, may I invite you to dan—"

However, before he could finish speaking, he heard a slightly frivolous voice say, "Hello beautiful, may I invite you to dance a dance with me?"

Leng Yi didn't pay much attention at first, but the next moment, his eyes turned cold because this guy was actually asking his chosen goddess to dance.
