C12 Meeting at the Banquet
The Ström Hotel, one by one, was filled with people.
Tong Hua stood at the door and took a deep breath. She told herself that she must succeed today.
Lifting up the corner of her dress slightly, Tong Hua walked up the stairs. The moment she pushed open the door of the hall, the music that was playing came out.
The banquet had just begun and many famous businessmen had arrived.
Tong Hua held a wine glass and shuttled through the crowd, looking for tonight's target.
Her gaze fell on a refined middle-aged man, and Tong Hua walked up with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Director Li, hello. I am the chairman of the Tong Hua Company, Tong Hua."
Facing Tong Hua's smile, Director Li lightly shook her hand.
Tong Hua saw this and raised her wine glass.
"Thank you for choosing Tong Hua Company for the previous project."
Tong Hua raised her head and drained the glass in one gulp.
"Yes."
It could be seen that Director Li did not really want to talk to Tong Hua. He did his best to save face and started to talk to the people around him.
Tong Hua's hand that was holding the empty glass stopped in the air. Her face suddenly became hot, but in the blink of an eye, she stopped her stiff expression and changed into a smile.
When Director Li was free, Tong Hua saw a needle in the seam and opened her mouth.
"The Tong Hua Company now has a piece of land and we are preparing to develop it. I wonder if Director Li is interested in investing?"
After several times, Director Li gradually became impatient.
"Chairman Tong, are you still not clear about reality? With the current state of the Tong Hua Company, do you think I will throw money into it?"
Manager Li walked around Tong Hua and left.
Manager Li's reaction attracted the attention of many people around him.
Tong Hua did not seem to hear the mockery, disdain, and ridicule. She continued to walk in the hall.
She bowed her head and drank with an apologetic smile. Tong Hua tried her best, but no company was willing to invest in the company's projects.
After drinking a full stomach of wine, Tong Hua was not only tired, but she also saw that the world was cold.
Rubbing the corner of her brows, she had just taken two steps when she bumped into the person in front of her.
"Yo, isn't this the chairman of the Tong Hua Company? I heard that your company has some issues with its funds. This is simple. You can spend the night with me. The money is easy to deal with."
Tong Hua had seen this person before. He was the young master of Liu's Group. He was a lecherous, greedy, hedonistic, and dissolute person.
As he spoke, Young Master Liu reached out his hand and tried to touch Tong Hua's face.
Tong Hua took a step back and calmly looked at Young Master Liu.
"No need."
Young Master Liu's face was gloomy. He awkwardly took back his hands that did not succeed and rubbed them.
"Is that so? I heard that the Tong Hua Company needs money. What else can you do if you don't sacrifice your face? Tong Hua did not want to have any conflict with him. She turned around and left.
But how could this young master Liu let go of this person in his hands? He reached out and grabbed Tong Hua's wrist, ready to pull her into his embrace.
Tong Hua struggled but was still unable to resist the man's strength.
She looked at the others for help but they were all talking about their own matters as if they did not see these things at all.
Tong Hua pursed her lips and lifted her foot to ruthlessly step on the back of Young Master Liu's foot.
When she was running away, she did not notice the two people in front of her and directly bumped into them.
"Tong Hua? Why are you here?"
Tong Hua covered her head and looked behind her in horror.
When Young Master Liu saw Shao Xuanjie, he turned around and ran into the crowd.
Xu Jiayu held Shao Xuanjie's arm and glanced at Tong Hua in disdain.
"Could it be that he came to find a man to save the company?"
The heavy words "find a man" made the last trace of concern in Shao Xuanjie's eyes disappear.
Shao Xuanjie sneered.
Tong Hua walked out of fear and heard Shao Xuanjie's disdainful laughter.
"I'm not as bad as you guys."
Xu Jiayu's eyes fell on the young master Liu who was in the crowd. Her eyes were full of schemes.
"The one chasing you just now was young master Liu."
The affirmative tone made Shao Xuanjie's face turn even gloomier.
Xu Jiayu pulled Shao Xuanjie back two steps, "Miss Tong, I know you want to ease the company's debt, but you still haven't divorced Xuanjie."
At this moment, Tong Hua looked at the man and woman in front of her and felt that it was ridiculous. "That is also not comparable to you guys. You cheated on each other in your marriage. You are a scumbag man and a scumbag woman! Where did you get the face to teach me a lesson?"
Tong Hua suddenly raised her voice, causing everyone in the hall to gather here.
Sadness, anger, under the illumination of the lights, there was nowhere to hide. It pierced straight into Shao Xuanjie's heart.
His fingers moved slightly, and he was about to say something.
Xu Jiayu shook his arm, "Xuanjie, look at Miss Tong. She is still blaming you at this time. She is clearly the one who did not behave herself. Instead, she is saying that we are not."
Shao Xuanjie sneered. His gaze fell on Director Li and the others who were watching the show. He directly sentenced Tong Hua to death.
"Tong Hua, don't waste your time. These people will not help you."
Tong Hua was stunned for a moment. When she heard his confident tone, her eyes suddenly widened.
"You are the one behind it."
Xu Jiayu snuggled into Shao Xuanjie's arms and said with a lovely smile, "Miss Tong, you can't say that. Xuanjie just made a deal with them."
Tong Hua looked at the others and they all lowered their heads.
Seeing this, Tong Hua understood.
Shao Xuanjie blocked all of her escape routes. In his plan, Tong Hua Company could only go bankrupt.
Tong Hua's eyes were red as she looked at him in a daze.
The suffocating feeling spread from her heart to her entire body.
Suppressing her urge to cry, Tong Hua retracted her gaze and left the hall with a forced smile.
Staying any longer was just a joke.
After exiting the hall, Tong Hua stood in the darkness and turned around.
The lights in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Walking forward alone, Tong Hua's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Suddenly, a ray of light shone towards Tong Hua.
"Tong Hua, is the banquet over?"
It was Su Chen.
Tong Hua put down her arms and smiled at him.
"It's over. Did you wait too long?"
Su Chen put on his coat for Tong Hua and gave her a cup of hot water.
"I just came."
Shao Xuanjie came out and happened to see this scene.
"Xuanjie, Mr. Su is nice to Miss Tong," he said.
Xu Jiayu's voice was heard by his ear and a trace of ridicule flashed across Shao Xuanjie's eyes.
