I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 305

As Chen Hao walked with Qin Ya, he suddenly received a call from Li Zhenguo. “Young Master Chen, there’s a VIP banquet being held tonight. I hope you will be attending, because the guest list includes an appraiser of antiques from Nanyang who can inspect your jade amulet, not to mention countless VIPs from Jin Ling city and even the province.”

Li Zhenguo was now assisting him in tracking Yang Xia down. He’d mentioned this banquet to Chen Hao before, something about it being an annual occurrence for VIPs of various sectors in Jin Ling’s economy. It wasn’t something Chen Hao could easily refuse, so he agreed to attend.

Night fell as Chen Hao arrived at the venue, to discover that the place was indeed crowded; Huang Yonghao and Bai Xiaofei went there together with him.

The banquet was being held at the Mountain and River Villa, the only other villa in Jin Ling City large enough for major events, besides the Hot Springs Villa. It was owned by a forty year-old, middle-aged man named Qi Wei who Chen Hao had met several times. However, because he was always too smooth with his words, Chen Hao’s impression of him was not that good.

“Oh ho, it’s Young Master Chen!” Qi Wei jogged over after spotting Chen Hao and the others. Many other VIPs at the banquet also walked over at this point, mostly to greet him.

“Hi, Mr. Qi!” Chen Hao simply smiled and counted that as a greeting. After that, Huang Yonghao instinctively weaved his way through the villa and found the foremost table to take a seat.

He’d just sat down when Qi Wei jogged over again. “Excuse me, Young Master Huang and Young Master Bai. You may not sit here today.”

“Huh? What do you mean, Qi Wei?” Huang Yonghao froze. He’d attended this banquet countless times in the past and usually, the foremost table was reserved for his adoptive sister Chen Xiao. Therefore, as her adoptive brother, he was also entitled to a seat here. The fact that Chen Hao was now the richest man in Jin Ling gave them all even more reason to sit here.

“Oh, it’s nothing. In the past, you sitting here would have been acceptable. However, since things have changed this year, you’re no longer allowed to do that,” Qi Wei said with a condescending smile.

Many VIPs from across the province had been invited to this year’s banquet, so it was inevitable that many of the wealthy businessmen on Chen Hao’s side crowded over to watch.

“Hmph, I didn’t want to sit here and look at that face of yours anyway! Fei, let’s sit somewhere else! Young Master Chen, you can sit here!” Naturally, Huang Yonghao was looking out for his adoptive brother, Chen Hao, who nodded in reply and prepared to take a seat.

“Wait!” Qi Wei spoke up again.

“What now?” Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing, who’d arrived earlier, were also walking over now.

“I’m afraid that not even Young Master Chen can sit at the foremost table this year!” Qi Wei said with a smile.

“Damn it, Qi Wei, are you out of your mind? Try saying that again to my face!” Huang Yonghao seized Qi Wei by the collar; this coward was being especially annoying today.

Qi Wei maintained his condescending smile and looked at Huang Yonghao, “Please calm yourself, Young Master Huang. I’ll say it one more time—not even Young Master Chen can sit here!”

“What do you mean by that?” the wealthy businessmen on Chen Hao’s side questioned, unable to tolerate this anymore.

“Nothing, it’s just that I have guests who are even more important coming here, and these seats are reserved for them.” Qi Wei shook off Huang Yonghao’s hand, shocking everyone due to the prominence of the foremost seat and what it meant.

“What’s going on?”
