Ling Zhengye greeted familiar faces with ease, as anyone who could attend the Jiang family banquet was a high-society figure in Hangzhou and Zhejiang, almost all of whom knew each other. Now many people already know that he is facing financial difficulties, including some top figures from various departments, to save the company, he has made his greatest efforts, now it's up to fate.

  When Old Man Jiang was still in the front line, he had given strong support to their company. Now, although facing bankruptcy, with the good news of Old Man Jiang's recovery, he still wanted to visit and congratulate him. He took a look at his daughter who was skilled in socializing beside him, feeling relieved and guilty at the same time. Originally, his daughter did not agree with listing now, but he insisted on doing so. Although he had long thought that it would be difficult for a private enterprise in China to go public, he believed that relying on the relationships he had built over the years, as well as the company's strong technological and economic strength, he could definitely complete the listing plan.

  But who would have thought that the actual operation was extremely difficult. Originally, if he had stopped in time when the domestic listing plan was blocked, it wouldn't have been a big deal. Unfortunately, he didn't give up and sought to list overseas instead. He spent huge sums of money in Singapore, Germany, and the UK, but either he disagreed with the other party's requirements or the listing price was too low, so none of them succeeded. By the time he suddenly found himself strapped for cash, it was already too late to try to raise funds domestically again.

  Those banking friends who used to ask me for loans have all disappeared, and when I go to their doors, they just laugh awkwardly, complaining endlessly, making excuses like "the bank's funds are tight" and other nonsense. There have been many times when the bank's funds were tight before, why didn't you complain then?

  Now, seeing her daughter growing up day by day, with a natural talent for business that is beyond doubt. However, the business empire built by her father's own hands has now been lost to his own hands. Her daughter has talent, but perhaps can only display it in someone else's company.

  The daughter has obviously lost a lot of weight recently, but her mental state is still good. Her smile, which can be described as "like a spring breeze", remains on her delicate face, making her feel relieved. The worry and anxiety she had been experiencing lately had made him very concerned, but fortunately, she had pulled through. He glanced at Yang Ning, who was chatting with Jiang Youjia's wife in the distance, and his face involuntarily flashed a cold expression. The Zhu and Ling families were originally on good terms, but when they fell on hard times, the Zhu family didn't show any concern. His daughter had gone to their house to ask for help, and although she hadn't said anything after returning, it was clear that she must have been humiliated...

  Suddenly, Ling Zhengye discovered that his daughter's expression was different. He saw her pair of clear and bright eyes staring at something far away, with a complex expression on her face, and a rare shy smile. Following his daughter's gaze, he saw Old Man Jiang talking to a young man, with a very kind attitude. His daughter's expression must be looking at the young man beside Old Man Jiang, not Old Man Jiang himself. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take another look at the young man.

  Only to see that the young man was not particularly outstanding, but he was talking and laughing with ease in front of Old Man Jiang, without a hint of humility or awkwardness. And when looking at Old Man Jiang, he didn't have the kind of benevolence that an elder should have, but rather the casualness of a friend from a different generation. This not only made Ling Zhengye secretly wonder, whose son was this who had such face, to make Old Man Jiang treat him as an equal, let alone the fact that many of the guests at the banquet were high-ranking officials from the province and city, all of whom showed deference to Old Man Jiang.

  He whispered to his daughter:

  "Do you know that young man?"

  "Hmmph, who knows that little scamp!"

  Ling Zhengye rarely saw his daughter in such a childish pose, and couldn't help but laugh. Ling Wei glared at her father, hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Old Man Jiang.

  "Congratulations on your recovery, Grandfather Chiang."

  Old Master Chiang smiled and said:

  "Isn't this the young lady from the Zheng family? Hehe, it's been a few years since we last met, and you've become even more beautiful."

  Kuo Yi exclaimed with surprise:

  "Ling Wei, what are you doing here?"

  Ling Wei didn't even glance at Guo Yi, but instead smiled sweetly at Old Man Jiang:

  "What's going on? But Grandpa, you're looking particularly radiant now, have you been eating ambrosia from heaven?"

  The old and cunning Jiang Lao Yezi saw the expressions of the two people in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile, saying:

  "It's about time, I've finally met a fairy. After eating the immortal pill, Ling Ya's head... Your father is hiding so far away, doesn't he want to talk to me? If you don't come over, I'll go over there and chat with him. By the way, I haven't thanked him for the cordyceps he sent over last time."

  Ling Wei was taken aback, but saw Old Man Jiang already walking towards her father. She wanted to follow him, but didn't take a step forward, nor did she turn her head back, just standing there like that.

  Guo Yi knew she was still brooding about what happened that day, but this was also understandable. Any girl would be unhappy if she were caught by another woman while being intimate with a man. Moreover, it was clear that this woman had an unclear relationship with the man. Guo Yi himself felt wronged - I didn't know there was another woman hiding in the closet! He stepped forward and said in a low voice:

  "Still angry about that? It was an accident, a complete accident!"

  Ling Wei's face suddenly flushed with anger, and she snorted:

  "Who are you? Who knows you?"

  Kuai Yue smiled and didn't say anything else, he indeed had no talent in this aspect, coaxing girls was still a distant subject for Kuai Yue. Ling Wei saw that he wasn't speaking, her teeth itched with hatred, and she said sourly:

  "Have you had a comfortable two days?"

  Kuo Yi knew that this was absolutely unacceptable, even if he didn't have any talent. He said with great concern:

  "Where have you been these days? I've been worried about you every day. You didn't even leave me a phone number at that time, and I'm not familiar with this place, I don't know how to find you..."

  "You're not familiar with this place? Looking at how close you are to Old Jiang, it's clear that finding me would be a piece of cake for you. Obviously... Hmph, heartless."

  "How is it that this old man has such great energy?"

  Ling Wei suddenly turned around, looking at Guo Yao with a silly expression. Guo Yao chuckled foolishly, but he had also noticed that this old man, who was originally on the verge of death, was not simple at all. This was even the main reason he came here. However, he didn't have a clear concept of how powerful his energy could be. Ling Wei's heart suddenly moved, and she said in a low, mysterious tone:

  "His energy is certainly great, can't say one word life and death, but in some aspects ability to turn the tide, another...another..."

  "What else?"

  Guo Yi asked foolishly.

  "Get out of here."

  Ling Wei was so angry she couldn't pounce on him and bite him twice. It's all been said so bluntly, can't you understand, idiot!

  Ling Zhengye couldn't believe that Old Man Jiang, Jiang Jingtian, would take the initiative to chat with him. Feeling both surprised and honored, he glanced at his daughter and the young man. The young man had a silly grin on his face, clearly saying something to his daughter. Although his daughter didn't have a smile on her face, her expression and demeanor were different from usual when interacting with others. It seemed that the relationship between these two was not ordinary. Jiang Jingtian noticed Ling Zhengye's gaze and laughed:

  "Zhèng yè, nǐ nǚér yǎn guāng bù cuò a!"

  Translation: "Zheng Ye, your daughter has good eyesight!"

  Ling Zhengye had the heart to ask about the young man's identity, but even Old Man Jiang was watching his daughter and that young man with a relationship that wasn't shallow. If he still didn't recognize him, it would be a very embarrassing thing. He dryly laughed and said:

  "I've never been one to interfere with kids' business, let them be!"

  This remark is very knowledgeable. It neither says it recognizes nor does it say it doesn't recognize, it neither says good nor bad, anyway currently it "hasn't intervened".

  Previously, since Jiang Jingtian was always talking to Guo Yi, everyone couldn't figure out Guo Yi's identity and didn't dare to go up and talk to him. Now that he is chatting with the down-and-out Ling Zhengye, they all came over to congratulate Jiang Jingtian on his speedy recovery, including the beautiful Mayor Yang Ning.

  When it comes to rapid recovery, probably no one has a more direct and profound feeling than Jiang Jingtian himself. Those who have never been ill do not know the importance of health, nor do they know the happiness of being healthy. It's like when someone has stomach pain, they don't feel the existence of their stomach when it doesn't hurt, and may not even know where their stomach is located. But once the pain starts, they begin to miss the times when it didn't hurt. As the stomach pain gradually disappears during recovery, the feeling of regaining health is extremely wonderful.

  Jiang Jingtian wasn't suffering from stomach pain, but rather liver cancer that triggered a multitude of complications. In those days, there was no distinction between pain and no pain, only varying degrees of pain - lighter or heavier. When the pain was slightly alleviated, he could catch his breath; when it worsened, it was excruciating. At that time, he thoroughly understood what it meant to have nothing to live for, and death became a true liberation.

  However, the encounter on the plane gave him a new lease on life. Not only did all his pains disappear, but he also regained his long-lost health. After returning home, he went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The cancer cells were still there, which was expected. If just a few massages and injections could cure cancer, then what he encountered was not human but a ghost! The test results showed that except for the remaining cancer cells, all bodily functions had returned to normal, leaving the doctor baffled. If it weren't for Jiang Jingtian's special identity, he would have been kept in the hospital as a research subject!

  From being bedridden to recovering health, even if that health is only temporary, the sense of satisfaction is also something ordinary people can't experience. Listening to everyone's congratulations, Jiang Jingtian couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Guo Yi, with this young man around, would he be able to recover again when his body declines once more?

  Beryl and Xufei entered the hall one after another, followed by Guo Yao. Although Xufei liked to be crazy, she wasn't stupid. With just a glance at these people's aura, she understood what kind of face she should put on, and almost without warming up, she transformed from a crazy girl into an even more elegant lady than Beryl. She elegantly held a cup of fruit juice, gazing around casually, but her eyes involuntarily searched for that country bumpkin. It wasn't for anything else; in this whole room full of people, apart from Beryl, she only knew the country bumpkin. Soon, she spotted Guo Yao and also discovered a girl beside him. The mature and intelligent aura about that girl made Xufei feel inferior. She nudged Beryl and said:

  "Unbelievable..."
