Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 203: Daring to Use Such a Name

The group of people who quickly walked past them were none other than Sun Yazhu and other organizers, with Chang Ru inconspicuously following behind. Being able to walk behind Sun Yazhu indicated that her relationship with Sun Yazhu was already close.

When did she get involved with the Sun Family?

Lin Yuanyang and Bai Xiaotang frowned tightly.

On the other side.

Seeing Bai Xiaotang unintentionally, Chang Ru felt a bit triumphant.

So what if she couldn’t integrate into the circle around her, she had successfully entered Miss Sun’s circle.

Sun Yazhu’s circle was at a different level compared to Bai Xiaotang’s.

As long as she held her ground beside Sun Yazhu, she wouldn’t have to worry about getting in touch with those three families.

Chang Ru was feeling pleased, her eyes naturally revealing joy.

Gao Lan glanced at her, slightly furrowing her brow.

This woman was really thick-skinned, running into her at the hotel and immediately trying to be chummy.

President Sun didn’t reject her, considering the favor for Miss Ji from the Bai Family, even inviting her to join the opening ceremony.

But she actually wanted to snatch her job?

Gao Lan pursed her lips, clutching her expensive bag tighter, and quickened her pace.

As she saw Sun Yazhu turning her head, she immediately approached.

"Gao Lan, go contact the hotel and ask if they’ve come out yet."

Gao Lan immediately nodded, then took out her phone and walked to the side.

She glanced at Chang Ru from the corner of her eye, hiding her disdain.

Seeing Gao Lan leave the group, Chang Ru subtly occupied her previous spot, smiling as she spoke with Sun Yazhu, "President Sun, this food festival is on a large scale. It will certainly attract many tourists."

Sun Yazhu turned her face slightly, smiling gracefully, "Thanks for your good words."

Their conversation made the surrounding people’s gaze toward Chang Ru change.

After finishing her call, Gao Lan hurried over, seeing Chang Ru brazenly occupying her position, she pursed her lips and approached Sun Yazhu from the other side, lowering her voice, "They left the hotel with the two Young Masters from the Gu Family, half an hour earlier than us."

Sun Yazhu’s eyes brightened, her pace quickened significantly.

Chang Ru observed Sun Yazhu’s actions, feeling a stirring in her heart.

It seemed Sun Yazhu also aimed to please someone, otherwise, she wouldn’t have someone constantly monitoring the hotel situation.

The Young Masters of the Gu Family, could they be from the Gu Family in Beijing?

Reflecting on how the Gu Family took over more than sixty percent of the Sun Family’s assets after the Sun Family’s downfall in her past life, Chang Ru felt a burning impatience.

Meanwhile, beside the public restroom, Bai Xiaotang’s mood visibly sank, Fu Yuanxuan looked at the group gradually walking away in the distance, lowered his head to look at her, and asked, "Were those Sun Family members?"

Bai Xiaotang slightly nodded her head.

Fu Yuanxuan’s eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

Upon hearing about Sun Family members, Mantis also restrained his thoughts and looked at Fu Yuanxuan.

Their mission this time was related to the Sun Family.

"Was the person who just walked past the current Sun Family leader, Miss Sun?" Gu Shuangcheng asked with a smile.

Bai Xiaotang wasn’t aware that Sun Yazhu had gradually taken over the leadership position in the Sun Family due to Sun Chengen’s stroke, and looked at him somewhat blankly.

Gu Shuangcheng continued, "Indeed, women are not to be underestimated. Expanding the scope of the event several times within two weeks is not something a regular person can accomplish. The Sun Family patriarch was certainly one of the few in Beijing with a keen eye for talent."

Bai Xiaotang felt somewhat uneasy listening.

Just then, Ye Tong and Huang Ying arrived, and the group didn’t linger, heading directly to the milk tea shop.

The nine cups of hawthorn fruit tea Bai Xiaotang ordered were all ready, with Ji Ning, who had been waiting there, already halfway through her drink.

At this moment, the milk tea shop had new customers, Bai Xiaotang, not feeling up to leisurely sitting and sipping fruit tea, called on everyone to grab their tea and continue shopping.

The small square where the opening ceremony was held wasn’t far, just a turn away, revealing the stage and the decorated balloons and flowers.

The site was surrounded by many onlookers and had a substantial police presence maintaining order nearby.

This event was attended by many prominent figures, and besides those three families which weren’t in business, most heavyweight families in the Hua Continent’s business circles sent representatives.

The security had been heightened to S-Class.

At a distance of over 800 meters from the small square, Bai Xiaotang and others were stopped and asked to present their invitation for the opening ceremony.

After Gu Shuangcheng showed his VIP invitation and his brother’s, they saw Ji Ning pulling out a stack of VIP invitations from her bag, and, right in front of the security, counted out seven, causing the security personnel’s face to turn slightly green.

If it weren’t for the fact that the VIP invitations were personally distributed by the organizers, they would suspect Ji Ning was a scalper selling tickets.

When did VIP invitations become so cheap?

Looking at the exquisitely made invitation in his hand, Gu Sili pouted.

The security personnel, after checking the invitation multiple times and particularly scrutinizing Ji Ning, carefully verified the authenticity of the VIP invitations before letting them inside.

Then, they heard the security personnel report over the walkie-talkie, "Attention, just let in a group of VIP guests, they still have many VIP invitations..."

Gu Sili almost tripped, his expression complex as he looked at Ji Ning.

VIP guests with invitations had reserved seats, and the seats were quite forward.

As Ji Ning led the group to enter the VIP seating area, many turned their attention to them, including Chang Ru, who was already seated.

She flashed a hint of jealousy in her eyes, noting from the VIP seating arrangements that not many had invitations, most were representatives from various families. Bai Yusen genuinely treated Bai Xiaotang well; no other member of the Bai Family, including himself, came, yet gave Bai Xiaotang so many invitations to bring a bunch of non-prestigious friends along, how considerate!

Chang Ru’s fingernails dug hard into her palm as she glanced at the invitation on the table that Gao Lan had condescendingly given her, wishing she could tear it to shreds.

"Ji Ning, Xiao Tong, you came!"

A pleasant female voice sounded from ahead, and sitting in seat C in the first row, Sun Yazhu stood up and quickly walked toward Ji Ning’s group.

Chang Ru’s resentful expression suddenly stiffened, her pupils dilating.

Ji Ning originally intended to lead the group to casually sit in the back row corner, but Sun Yazhu’s voice made them halt.

The other VIP guests already seated also turned their gaze to Ji Ning’s group, with looks filled with surprise and scrutiny.

Ji Ning?

There aren’t many people with the surname Ji in the Hua Continent, daring even to take such a name.

Truly bold.

Not afraid of being targeted?

Some families in Beijing who were aware of Ji Ning’s renowned reputation were excited and intrigued,

Ji Ning, could she be that multi-system superpower user, the legendary figure who single-handedly took on most of Sun Family’s elite?

Wasn’t she at odds with the Sun Family?

Why was she invited to this event?

Did the Sun Family have some conspiracy in mind?

With this thought, the expressions of these families toward Sun Yazhu turned somewhat subtle.

Those who came to the VIP area weren’t fools, they were rather shrewd.

Each kept calculating their small plans internally.

Someone standing in a corner paused, suddenly raising their head to look toward Sun Yazhu’s direction, their face rather peculiar.
