It wasn’t until ten minutes before the banquet that Wang, the secretary, who was on the verge of explosion due to his own state of anxiety, couldn’t take it anymore and walked over to Qin Zhiyou.

The group of people at the entrance also couldn’t wait and directly called the cruise ship’s administration staff, breaching the cabin with a swipe of the key card. They started shouting, “President Qin, the banquet is about to begin. If you don’t attend, I fear the old master and madam will have to take your place and deliver your speech on stage.”

Qin Zhiyou didn’t turn his head, instead, he blandly glanced at his mobile phone. He swept over her avatar again, the message bar was silent. With one last look, he dimmed the mobile display, put it back in his pocket, then slowly got up.

Turned around.

His brow was as calm as ever: “Get changed.”

The cruise ship’s banquet hall.

Lu Weixi also entered from the side door. She stayed in the second-class cabin, and the banquet was the best place to find passengers from the first-class or VIP cabins.

The banquet had been prepared, the tables in the middle of the space were set, and name cards had been placed on them. Seats were arranged according to the name cards. Naturally, more important guests had better seats.

Lu Weixi’s table was in a remote corner. Her name card read “Lucky Audience,” with no mention of her name. Meanwhile, her table was filled with handsomely dressed guests who, in contrast, made her casual white long dress, look like she was a staff member. For instance, the first row was occupied by the Qin, Yu, and He families.

Luckily, her spot was remote, no high society members were around, just mostly nouveau riche who bought their way in. No one recognized her. When she entered the room, she had quickly scanned for Mr. Liao’s name card that was located approximately the center of the second row. But now, with the lights still on and the room full of people, she would surely be noticed if she made her way over there.

She would just have to wait until the lights were out to stealthily make her way over, table by table.

With only ten minutes to the start of the banquet, a huge cake for the “Hanhai Group’s 50th Anniversary” had already been set up on stage. The Qin Family elders were all present, except for the old master and Yang Mogui. Qin Weijian couple, Qin Weijia with his children Qin Zhimei and Qin Zhizha, were early arrivals. Their neighboring table was occupied by the Yu and He families, as well as magnates from other industries engaged in lively conversation. Especially Qin Zhimei, who had ordered her high-end outfit a month in advance, looking splendid today. If not for this important event, she would likely have gotten bored and stuck close to Yu Sixing.

Although Lu Weixi’s table was a bit distant, when she looked over in that direction, it was obvious that a particular person was missing.

Lu Weixi’s heart eased slightly as she noted the absence. She had prepared herself for the possibility of meeting Qin Zhisu again, but felt that not seeing him would be better, saving her from the awkward but polite greetings: “How are you? How have these years been for you? Have you eaten yet?”

She also didn’t notice Simon White, who was the hot topic of conversation. However, she didn’t have much attachment to Simon White anyways. It didn’t matter whether they met or not. She was an interior designer, while he was a building designer. There were overlaps, but they didn’t coincide.

Just hoped that everything would go smoothly tonight.

After waiting for a few more minutes, guests began to fill the banquet hall, and even Mr. Liao had taken his seat.

Now, Lu Weixi finally felt that something was off – where was Qin Zhiyou? Why hadn’t he arrived yet?
