"What?!!"
Everyone couldn’t believe what they just heard. The legendary business genius Lu Jianhong came to the party? This was totally unprecedented!
"Are you telling the truth?" Long Meng asked the youth who brought the news.
"Yes, Grandaunt Meng. Sir Lu Jianhong is currently mingling with the guests. He asked where the celebrant is. He said that he wants to greet Uncle Tengfei a happy birthday."
"What are we waiting for then? Let’s go and greet Sir Lu! We shouldn’t keep such an esteemed guest waiting for too long," Long Jufang said and looked at Long Tengfei impatiently.
As for the Wu family, they didn’t wait for Long Tengfei’s permission. Wu Qianxi and her parents left the library and headed directly to look for the business legend. They treated this as a once in a lifetime opportunity. They didn’t care whether Sir Lu Jianhong came for Long Tengfei who they just cut ties with. Establishing a connection with someone as powerful in the business world as Sir Lu was more important than leaving the party because of their anger at the hosts.
"Alright, let’s go," Long Tengfei finally said.
Upon receiving his permission, the elders and the relatives moved like they had rocket boosters in their shoes with how fast they left the library. They were all extremely excited and couldn’t wait to meet such a powerful figure. Long Jian also followed behind them, not waiting for the rest of the "main family" to leave together.
Chen Fei and Long Jinjing also couldn’t wait to meet Sir Lu Jianhong in person. Both of them were business majors. Their professors and even their textbooks used him a lot as the best example of a successful businessperson.
They all walked out of the library together. Except for Chen Fei and Long Jinjing, all of them had already met the business legend through Iris.
"Father, you invited Grandpa Lu?" Iris whispered to Long Tengfei.
"Yes, of course. He’s your mentor and has done a lot for you. It would be rude if I didn’t at least send him an invitation," he replied. "But I never expected him to come."
"Well, he’s probably bored so he came," she said with a shrug.
Then Iris excused herself and separated from the group. She needed to use the powder room. Meimei and Jiang Ying Yue went with her. Long Hui went ahead with Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui to greet Grandpa Lu.
Seeing them, Long Jinjing pulled Chen Fei to accompany the three to the powder room. Chen Fei complained a bit because she was so excited to meet Sir Lu. But in the end, she still went with them.
The five of them chatted while inside the powder room. They took turns using the toilet. They also retouched their make-up.
"Xiulan, you started a business?" Chen Fei asked.
"Yes," Iris replied while washing her hands on the sink.
"What kind of business?"
"The one the elders were talking about during the meeting earlier is my beauty company."
"The one? What do you mean? You have more than one businesses?"
Iris nodded. "Yes, I have two others for a total of three. At least for now."
