Female Novel
Chapter 390 The Absence Of The VIP Guest
“Xiaoxia, please don’t say that!” said Wang Wen.
Even though she thought it was embarrassing to get on the scooter as well, since Chen Hao was
unfazed by it, she felt there was no need to be embarrassed.
As for Hou Xiaoxia, it was obvious that she couldn’t stand the idea. “I can’t stand it. You can get on the
scooter all you like, but I can’t afford to put myself in this pathetic state. I will wait for you outside of the
hotel. By the way, Chen Hao, there is no way that this accident is considered as settled!”
With that, Hou Xiaoxia extended her hand to hail a taxi. She looked anxious as she rushed to the
event. After all, she had to get to her boyfriend as soon as possible.
“I think it’s best for you to just skip the event. It just so happens that my sister has already cooked a
meal. Why don’t you join me for a meal at my home? Just see it as I am treating you to a meal!” Chen
Hao offered.
After all, Chen Hao still saw Wang Wen as his old classmate.
“I am afraid I can't join you, Chen Hao. I think I should keep her company. After all, now that she is
having trouble, I am worried that she would suffer a disadvantage if she was left on her own.”
As always, Wang Wen was very kind-hearted.
When in fact, deep down inside, Wang Wen thought it was quite embarrassing to ride on an electric
three-wheeler on the streets.novelbin
Despite her kind personality, she was still fairly vain like all the other girls.
However, she thought that it would hurt Chen Hao’s pride if she turned him down.
Therefore, she was caught in a quandary.
Being at her wit’s end, she said, “Well, Chen Hao, you can just send me to the entrance of the hotel!”
“Very well! This scooter is not bad actually. It wouldn’t take us long to reach there!”
With that, he got onto the three-wheeler.
Beep! Beep!
He even pressed on the horn to invite Wang Wen to get on it.
As Wang Wen tidied up a few strands of her hair, several onlookers were staring at her, making her
entire face blushed out of embarrassment.
In the end, she still got on Chen Hao’s electric three-wheeler.
“Let’s go now, I bet Xiaoxia is there already!” Wang Wen said in a soft voice with her head held low.
At the sight of Wang Wen’s flustered face, Chen Hao made no comment.
In Chen Hao’s opinion, he never thought that driving a car was a more glorious thing to do than riding a
tricycle or a bicycle.
At that moment, he stepped on the accelerator.
They made their way toward the destination.
The venue of the event was a grand hotel in Chengdu.
At the moment, the interior of the hotel was decorated with long, red banners. Firecrackers were placed
everywhere.
Red carpet stretched on the corridors from the inner hall up all the way till the entrance of the hotel.
Numerous celebrities and rich businessmen arrived and went into the hotel.
All the staff of the event organizer were standing outside of the hotel to help with ushering the guests
and taking photos.
It appeared that they were planning to hold a mini ceremony beforehand at the courtyard of the hotel.
Therefore, the courtyard was crowded with people.
“Wen, is this the place?” asked Chen Hao.
Several young rich men were smoking outside of the hotel.
They were reluctant to make way for them at the entrance.
Chen Hao then pressed on the horn continuously.
Because of that, the group of young rich men averted their gazes in his direction. At the sight of Chen
Hao riding on a scooter together with a girl, they started exchanging jokes among themselves.
“Well, Chen Hao, you may just let me off here!”
Wang Wen was extremely embarrassed.
She started to regret accepting Chen Hao’s offer.
Wang Wen felt especially uncomfortable to be placed under the disdainful stares of her peers.
“Very well!”
Chen Hao stepped on the brake and pulled up the scooter by the entrance of the hotel.
As it so happened, Hou Xiaoxia was walking over to welcome Wang Wen’s arrival.
Hou Xiaoxia was so shocked at the sight of Wang Wen riding on Chen Hao’s scooter that her eyes
almost popped out.
“Damn, Wen, have you lost your mind?! You actually let him send you here on the three-wheeler?”
Hou Xiaoxia’s face reddened.
“Xiaoxia, stop talking already. Chen Hao, why don’t you go home first? I will treat you to a meal some
other day!”
Noticing that more and more people were looking in their direction, Wang Wen immediately said so.
“Okay then!”
Chen Hao nodded his head in agreement.
“The convoy of cars belonging to President Lin are here already!”
At that juncture, one of the security guards standing by the entrance was making an announcement
toward the rich merchants in the courtyard.
Many of the rich businessmen made their way out excitedly to welcome the cars.
“Damn, why is there a scooter blocking the entrance! What are you doing here! Scram!”
The security guard straightaway walked over to Chen Hao and gave him a shove.
“I can’t stand it!”
Hou Xiaoxia covered her own eyes with her hands. She was so embarrassed that she wished for a
quick end to her own life.
“Please be more polite. Why are you pushing me? I am leaving now!”
Chen Hao stepped on the accelerator and left.
After all the cars were pulled to a stop, several middle-aged rich merchants along with their sons and
daughters alighted from the cars. Obviously, they were the most distinguished guests of the night.
All the other rich merchants lined up to welcome their arrival. They were eager to make small talk.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m delighted to see all of you here attending this gathering. Unfortunately, we
have failed to have a super VIP graced us with his presence here tonight. This is a considerable
blemish for tonight’s event!”
Everyone was standing beside the red carpet, listening to the speech from the president of the
organizer team.
Hearing this, the guests started discussing among themselves. “Who is it?”
“President Guo! Who’s that VIP? ”
The guests started to make speculations.
Hou Xiaoxia was leading Wang Wen into the courtyard of the hotel.
At the moment, she was staring at President Guo standing onstage.
For some unknown reason, a feeling of fright came over her.
Somewhat nervous, she tugged at her boyfriend, Li Liang’s arms and asked, “Brother Liang, who is that
VIP that President Guo would like to invite?”
“How would I know? Don’t you see everyone is asking the same question too?”
Li Liang was very irritated. After all, his father had found out about the mess created by Hou Xiaoxia.
Feeling wronged, Hou Xiaoxia did not say a word back.
In fact, she was very excited to attend such an event as she would have the chance to get acquainted
with the rich and famous.
However, she was feeling uneasy inside now.
A short while ago, she saw Chen Hao receiving a call, and it was from someone named President Guo
too.
She had no idea whether it was the same President Guo, the organizer of tonight’s event.
After pondering over it, she brushed away the thought as it was an incredulous idea.
Chen Hao was just some nobody. At most, he got to be President Guo’s acquaintance because of his
childhood friend. Without his childhood friend, he was literally nothing.
With that thought, Hou Xiaoxia was finally at ease.
“Hehe, there’s a lot to say about this VIP. Our distinguished guests, President Lin and his daughter
from Jin Ling are on very good terms with this VIP!” President Guo said with a laugh.
President Lin displayed a grin imbued with some pride.
As for President Lin’s daughter, her expression changed a little as she looked slightly excited and
nervous.
“Hey, President Guo, please stop keeping us in suspense. Please just reveal the identity of the VIP!”
Some of them were curious as to the identity of the VIP as the person had become a mystery under
President Guo’s depiction.
“How about I provide some clues for everyone? Surely then everyone would know who he is. He is the
owner of the Cloud Mansion, the most extravagant mansion in Jin Ling City. Apart from that, he is the
most influential tycoon in the entire Jiangnan Province as well as the president of the most powerful
company in Jin Ling City!”
President Guo announced with enthusiasm.
“Ah!”
With that, the guests became uproarious.
“Damn, I know it! Is he Young Master Chen from Jin Ling?”
“How’s it even possible that Young Master Chen from Jin Ling would come to Chengdu?”
“President Guo is a very capable man. However, is it even possible for him to be able to invite Young
Master Chen from Jin Ling?”
There was much talk among the guests after listening to President Guo.
Obviously, the majority of the rich merchants thought that President Guo was bluffing.
They reckoned that President Guo didn't even have Young Master Chen’s contact number.
“President Guo is just trying to make himself look good using the reputation of the Lin Family and
Young Master Chen from Jin Ling!”
At that moment, Li Liang was offering his brilliant analysis on the matter offstage.
“However, I’ve heard some rumors that President Guo had received some projects from Young Master
Chen from Jin Ling. Could it be possible that he really has ties with Young Master Chen?”
Some of the rich young masters gathered around Li Liang to join the discussion.
“Xiaoxia, Wen, aren’t you girls from Jin Ling? I'm sure you guys have a thorough understanding of
Young Master Chen from Jin Ling, right?”
In front of the outsiders, Li Liang did not show his irritation toward Hou Xiaoxia.
Both Hou Xiaoxia and Wang Wen shook their heads and said, “We just heard about how impressive he
is from our classmates. In Jin Ling, everyone knows his name. However, no one is able to get further
information about him!”
“Wen, why don’t you try asking our old classmates. I dropped my phone onto the floor while I was
rushing to the hotel earlier and it broke!”
Since the rich young men were all interested to talk about Young Master Chen, it would be rather
awkward if she was unable to provide any extra information, as someone from Jin Ling City.
Wang Wen nodded her head.
She went on to search for her phone. Suddenly, she realized something. “Oh no, I’ve left my bag on
Chen Hao’s scooter…”
