Fated Love With the Billionaire
Chapter 410 Anniversary

Chapter 410: Chapter 410 Anniversary

Deng Yan seized the opportunity and continued to probe.

"If you’re buying information internally, I would feel more at ease. If it’s through other means, your place here..." His eyes swept disdainfully around the small reception room, "I don’t mean anything else, it’s just too high-tech, you seem like you don’t understand much?"

He thought his place was too small to afford tech-savvy people, and looked down on him.

Wang Ji’s competitiveness was triggered, "I don’t understand, but I can hire people who do. As for the internal information you mentioned, we also have channels, but now it’s all about technological means of investigation, no need to spell it out, you understand, right."

Deng Yan showed a curious expression, "You have hackers here? That’s impressive, it’s my first time encountering that in real life."

Seeing Deng Yan’s naive look, Wang Ji sneered with a hint of arrogance in his smile but had to suppress his inner pride, saying:

"Without talents under me, I wouldn’t dare to run an investigation company." Wang Ji saw that Deng Yan was hesitant to discuss money, so he didn’t have the patience to waste more time, "Sir, I’ve said what needs to be said, if you’re serious about investigating, go prepare the money.

You bring the money, I do the work, and it’ll be solved clearly for you.

That’s all for today, I have another client waiting for me to reply to."

Wang Ji stood up and gestured to Deng Yan with the paper cup in front of him, "I’ll have Li pour you another cup."

"Uh, no need, I should be going too." Deng Yan followed Wang Ji out of the reception room.

It wasn’t until the person consulting left that Wang Ji came out of the office and said to the receptionist, "In the future, screen clients like this, they lack substance and only know how to ask questions, but then shy away when it comes to money, wasting time."

With a bang, the door closed again, and the receptionist glared in the direction Deng Yan had left.

Deng Yan sat in his car and dialed Cheng Qiaobei’s number.

"How’s the investigation going?" Cheng Qiaobei asked.

Deng Yan said, "It’s confirmed that the information is leaking from here. What do you want me to do next?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Keep an eye on Cheng Siluo, see what other tricks she’s up to."

...

Every year on August 28th, Jade Jiali celebrates its hotel founding anniversary with commemorative activities.

This year, Cheng Xiangheng announced that the hotel’s anniversary activities would be organized by Cheng Siluo.

Cheng Siluo, full of hope, said, "Dad, I definitely won’t let you down. I want to use this grand event to completely erase the previous negative news about the hotel from the public’s view."

Cheng Xiangheng knowingly nodded, "Go to the archives and retrieve last year’s event plan, and submit the list of invited guests to me within three days."

Cheng Siluo: "Okay, Dad."

"Siluo, perform well." Cheng Xiangheng smiled slightly.

Walking out of the office, Cheng Siluo felt like a breeze, as the event had always been organized by Cheng Qiaobei in previous years, but this year she was given the task. She silently made up her mind to make it more successful than any previous one.

Therefore, the proud Cheng Siluo did not plan to follow her father’s advice and go to the archives to find previous event plans.

But she stumbled at the first step.

To determine the list of invited guests, she had to consider social elites, invite officials and dignitaries, and fully embody the high-caliber nature of the event.

Two days later, while taking the guest list to Cheng Xiangheng, Cheng Siluo was stopped by Zheng Rongxi halfway.

"Is the invitation list ready?" Zheng Rongxi asked.

"Yes, I’m just taking it to show my dad." Cheng Siluo proudly raised the list in her hand.

Zheng Rongxi was uneasy, "Let me see."

Cheng Siluo handed it over, and Zheng Rongxi’s eyebrows furrowed tighter as she looked through it, "Siluo, the list is missing several key business figures, you’d better double-check it, and also, Director Gu has been transferred and needs to be removed."

"...When was Director Gu transferred?" The news was sudden, leaving Cheng Siluo unprepared.

Zheng Rongxi said, "Last Friday, it’s best to double-check the list. Your dad has entrusted such an important event to you for the first time, don’t mess it up."

Cheng Siluo took the list, "Alright, I’ll go back and double-check everything."

Zheng Rongxi added, "You can look at last year’s event plan, it includes the invitation list."

Though not pleased, Cheng Siluo complied, "Got it."

Zheng Rongxi saw her reluctance and advised, "I’m just suggesting, don’t be upset. Although we have a history with him, the plan was done well, you could learn from it, take the best parts, and when the event is well-organized, the final honor is yours."

Although reluctant, Cheng Siluo still followed Zheng Rongxi’s advice and drew from last year’s plan.

Comparing it with Cheng Qiaobei’s guest list, her list indeed had many shortcomings.

His list showed not only fame and status but also social contributions, influence, public welfare groups, covering top talents from various sectors.

What was initially a commercial event instantly elevated in status, becoming a channel for information exchange, and some even liken receiving Jade Jiali’s invitation as a symbol of one’s contributions to society.

Cheng Siluo spent an afternoon examining last year’s plan, although she attended back then, her mind wasn’t on the event itself but rather catching up with a few friends from her circle.

She brought the finalized invitation list to Cheng Xiangheng’s office, "Dad, take a look, this is the list of invitees for the event."

Cheng Xiangheng scanned it quickly, momentarily pausing when he saw Cheng Qiaobei’s name.

Cheng Siluo, perceptive of his reaction, explained, "Dad, Qiao Bei, having left from our Jade Jiali, contributed many years after all. His presence at the anniversary event benefits the company, and you, as the farmer, are left with a reputation of nostalgia and forgiveness, whereas he might be viewed as the snake that never stays warm."

Cheng Xiangheng paused for a moment, then said, "You can invite him, just don’t provoke him."

"Dad, what kind of person do you think I am?" Cheng Siluo put away the list, "No problem, I’ll issue invitations according to the list?"

Cheng Xiangheng said, "Go ahead."

Zheng Rongxi had been anxiously waiting in the office for Cheng Siluo until the door opened. Seeing the expression on Siluo’s face, she knew the invitation list had passed.

"What did your dad say?" Zheng Rongxi asked.

Cheng Siluo said, "My dad praised how thorough my work was. He also noticed Cheng Qiaobei’s name, so now we just wait for Secretary Chen’s performance on the day of the event."

A glimmer of calculation flashed in Zheng Rongxi’s eyes, "It must be done steadily, your dad mustn’t find out."

Cheng Siluo: "Don’t worry, Mom."

There was one week left until Jade Jiali’s anniversary event.

Cheng Qiaobei looked at the date on the computer, deep in thought, and murmured, "The anniversary is coming up again."

"Cheng." Deng Yan entered the office with an invite, "You are invited to the Jade Jiali anniversary event."
