My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 30
Chapter 30: Chapter 30 – The Power Behind the Throne?
“Welcome, Xiao Yi. Oh… Mr. Li, welcome.”
When Chen Jia Jun heard about Lin Yi’s arrival, he quickly stood by the doors of the banquet hall in hopes of welcoming her in person. However, upon seeing Lin Yi, he realized that she didn’t come alone.
Thankfully, he didn’t do anything embarrassing and chose to welcome Li Tian as politely as possible.
“Oh, Xiao Chen? Why are you here as the door boy? Is your company not doing well? Do you want my wife to arrange a job for you in her company? You’re still so young, we can’t possibly let you starve, right?”
Li Tian remembered how rude Chen Jia Jun was to him, so Li Tian didn’t hesitate to make a sarcastic remark upon seeing Chen Jia Jun.
Lin Yi, who was standing beside him, was close to having a breakdown. The event hasn’t even started yet!
“Li Tian, you… Oh, if I remember correctly, I don’t think I invited you. Attendant, show this man out!”
Sure enough, Chen Jia Jun was angered by Li Tian’s rude remarks. Prior to this, he even thought about being the bigger person, but this time, it was Li Tian who provoked him first. Hence, Chen Jia Jun retorted, not caring about what others would think of him.
An attendant soon came over to bring Li Tian to the exit. A smug look instantly appeared on Chen Jia Jun’s face.
I even lowered myself to your level and addressed you as Mr. Li. Don’t forget who the host is today. I can destroy you whenever I want!
“Haha… Xiao Chen, listen to me. I’ve already told my wife that I didn’t fancy going to events like this, but she said she was worried that she’d be pestered by some man with ulterior motives, so she wanted me to tag along. However, since you want me to leave, then I’ll leave. Honey, why are you still holding onto me?”
As soon as Li Tian finished his sentence, Lin Yi really felt like hiding in a hole and never coming out.
Why did I insist that he followed me? Lin Yi really hoped Li Tian would leave now. Perhaps the banquet would proceed smoothly if he were to leave.
Lin Yi realized that Li Tian was holding her hand all this time. You’re the one holding on to me, alright?
However, in that kind of situation, Lin Yi wouldn’t choose to embarrass Li Tian. After all, the two of them went in as a pair. His humiliation would be hers as well.
“Jia Jun, I’ll apologize on my husband’s behalf. If you want us to leave, we’ll return immediately. Anyway, thank you for inviting us.”
Lin Yi retorted. Sure enough, Chen Jia Jun was taken aback by Lin Yi’s reply.
The main purpose of hosting the banquet was to show Lin Yi what kind of person he really was. He hoped that Lin Yi would realize how he was a far better candidate compared to her ‘husband’. He wanted to win Lin Yi’s heart. However, he didn’t expect that Lin Yi would side with Li Tian.
“Xiao Yi, what are you talking about? I can’t let you leave like this. Please head into the hall, excuse me while I go welcome other guests.”
Chen Jia Jun could only swallow his anger. His face turned sour as he watched Li Tian and Lin Yi walk into the hall.
Following this, a woman walked towards him. Chen Jia Jun’s face instantly lit up when he saw that woman.
“Wow, I can’t believe that the owner of Yunding Hotels is here in person! I’m Chen Jia Jun, the grandson of Chen Ru.”
Chen Jia Jun immediately went to welcome her. He tried to stay humble, but also mentioned his grandfather at the same time so that he wouldn’t be looked down upon.
The woman was gorgeous, and she seemed to be in her late twenties. She smiled and said, “How could I not attend your banquet? It’s my honour. Today’s expenses will be on me, what do you say?”
The banquet would easily cost half a million dollars, but this woman offered to pay for it without batting an eye.
In all honesty, she could care less about Chen Jia Jun, but she thought that his grandfather, Chen Ru, was worth spending the money for.
“You’re a businesswoman, how could I let you suffer any losses?”
On the surface, Chen Jia Jun seemed as though he was rejecting her offer, but he was celebrating internally.
A few guests who were present overheard their conservation and looked at Chen Jia Jun in admiration.
WIthin the entire Jiangdu city, only less than ten people could make the person behind Yunding Hotels offer something like this.
It was evident that from today that Chen Jia Jun was one of them. Or, more accurately, his grandfather was one of them.
“Of course, you’re a diamond member of our hotels. If I can’t even do this for you, people would judge Yunding’s customer service. Okay, how about this, if it’s less than a million dollars, it’s on me; if it’s more than a million, then you can pay for it. What do you say?”
A million dollars was a lot, and it was obvious that the banquet wouldn’t cost that much. Thus, Chen Jia Jun naturally accepted her offer.
“Okay, thank you, Miss Tang. When the banquet starts, I’ll definitely give you a toast.”
“Sure.”
…
After the woman left, Chen Jia Jun was surrounded by many people, all of which were bootlickers. They were talking about how Chen Jia Jun was so young but had already made his name in the industry. They continued to flatter him, but all Chen Jia Jun could think about was, who is the owner of Yunding Hotels? Was it the woman just now?
Chen Jia Jun was enjoying the praises when he heard someone ask a question. He immediately answered, “Not only does this Yunding Hotel in Jiangdu, the two in Beijing, the one in Xihu, and a few more in other cities, all belong to Miss Tang. There are a total of thirteen of them.”
“Wow… I didn’t know that she was so rich. Thirteen 5-star hotels? Her assets would easily total to more than five billion dollars!”
Someone commented.
“Not only five billion, I think it would be closer to ten billion dollars.”
Chen Jia Jun answered again.
Not many people had assets worth over ten billion dollars. There were only less than 100 people like that within the entire country, and that woman was one of them.
“That woman was so seductive… If anyone could get their hands on her……”
Another man blurted out, clearly nothing more than wishful thinking. It was undeniable that he was indeed very attracted to her.
However, when Chen Jia Jun heard that, his facial expression immediately darkened.
“You… Attendant, kick this man out! What the heck! How dare you say that!? This is a warning for everyone here, if you have those kinds of thoughts, leave now! She’s not someone anyone should get on the bad side of! Don’t even think about dragging me into this!”
Even if they were Chen Jia Jun’s guests, he didn’t hold back. It was evident how much he feared that woman.
