Unfortunately, their family wouldn’t even give them this chance! Seeing that they would soon witness a business negotiation by Luo Danlun of the Luo Family, they all had their own little schemes, planning to return home after listening to embellish the story, claiming they also contributed ideas, hoping those old-fashioned folks at home would view them differently. Maybe, their family would immediately hand over some family business for them to manage. The crowd was full of endless anticipation, and excitement surged. However, there were some among them knowing full well. Although they bore the title of rich playboys, running around with this group of friends in debauchery day in and day out, they weren’t stupid. They knew a real business negotiation wouldn’t be conducted openly. Unless, of course, the deal was already set, and this was just a show-and-tell. Otherwise, there had to be an ulterior motive. But regardless of which, they all enjoyed joining in on this fun. Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but lift his eyes towards Han Dongsheng, genuinely finding it amusing. What did Han Dongsheng take business negotiations for? A game? Even opened the doors for anyone to listen in... Even Qin Xiaoyao on the side couldn’t help but ask Bai Xiaosheng in astonishment, "Xiaosheng, how come this business negotiation sounds like a conference where outsiders can even listen in?" Look at that, even an eight-year-old knows something’s wrong! Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Qin Xiaoyao, "Maybe these people just enjoy having an audience." He couldn’t really come up with any other "good" explanations. "Xiaosheng, I remember you’re also here to discuss cooperation with Luo Danlun." Qin Xiaoyao recalled, suddenly stating. Bai Xiaosheng shrugged, but his mind suddenly jolted. He had long sensed that Luo Danlun had no good intentions, observing Han Dongsheng’s "laughable" words, alongside the farcical business talk about to unfold... He suddenly understood. Is this intended for me? Bai Xiaosheng lifted his eyes to look at Han Dongsheng, who happened to look over. "Oh, I almost forgot, this brother seems to be here for a business talk as well, let’s invite him along." Han Dongsheng raised his voice to Bai Xiaosheng with a smile. All eyes instantly focused on Bai Xiaosheng, and many started whispering among themselves. "We’re all Mr. Luo’s friends, discussing business is like keeping the goods within the family, so why is this person here to grab a share?" "Hehe, whether he’s a friend of Mr. Luo is hard to say, but he is a friend of the young Miss Qin! Just for that, Mr. Luo has to give him some face!" "Is his family’s status as illustrious as ours?" "That we don’t know. But if he were truly a scion of a wealthy family, how come we’ve never seen him before!" "Exactly, if he were really something, would he be in this hall... no, I mean, even with Qin Family’s little miss, he’d only be able to come here." "Heh, probably just sucking up to the Qin family’s young miss to get an invitation to the Luo family..." Amidst their secretive discussions, many threw mocking skepticism at Bai Xiaosheng. Among them, there were already people planted by Han Dongsheng. They were steering opinions, "unifying" views, and the first round of contempt towards Bai Xiaosheng had already begun. "What nonsense are these bastards talking!" Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t hold back anymore, ready to angrily speak out and curse at them. Almost everyone was saying this about her brother Xiaosheng! She was very angry. "Xiao Yao!" Bai Xiaosheng stopped Qin Xiaoyao, smiling as he gently shook his head at her, "It’s nothing, just a few idle comments, no need to get so angry." Qin Xiaoyao pouted but obediently held back her anger. Earlier, while chatting with Bai Xiaosheng, she sensed Xiaosheng was someone with a very good temper, and considering how polite he was even to the butler guiding them, he seemed to like people who were good-tempered. This little girl didn’t want him to see her fiery side, so she swallowed her anger and gave those people a fierce look without saying anything. Han Dongsheng turned a deaf ear to the surrounding criticisms, pretending to mingle with the people beside him, and after hearing enough, he chuckled lightly, raising his voice, "Just now, Mr. Luo gave me a call, he’s a bit busy on his end, we can start the discussion. I’ve been entrusted by Mr. Luo to act as the host, everyone, let’s move to the side hall. It’s all ready over there." While speaking, Han Dongsheng was the first to head out, and the crowd followed eagerly. Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but look at Bai Xiaosheng. "Let’s go, we’ll see what’s up too." Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile. Since Luo Danlun had set this Hóngmén Feast for him, Bai Xiaosheng felt he had to attend. The two were practically rivals in love, not attending would seem like yielding to Luo Danlun! Bai Xiaosheng could let go on other fronts, but when it came to Wei Xuelian, he wouldn’t give an inch! Nearby, the side hall was brightly lit, the doors wide open. Han Dongsheng led the people over, with Bai Xiaosheng and Qin Xiaoyao trailing at the back. Once inside, Bai Xiaosheng was a bit taken aback, then he found it rather amusing. Content originally comes from novｅlfire.net This place doesn’t resemble a business meeting venue at all, it’s more like "Water Margin" hero gathering hall. Who knows what on earth the people arranging this were thinking. From the entrance, straight ahead, there’s a single sofa directly facing the door in the innermost center, an open path in the middle, with six single sofas on each side. Between every two sofas on the sides, there’s a tea table, surprisingly with printed name tags on them, clearly arranging where each person should sit. The central seat was reserved for the host, Luo Danlun, and the first on the left was Han Dongsheng’s. The single sofas stretched from the back to the entrance, filling the place to the brim. It looked like not even one more could fit. Apart from that, there were seats behind the two rows of sofas, reserved for the "spectators," just the right number.
