Chapter 175: It’s tough when you can’t eat or drink well.

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: It’s tough when you can’t eat or drink well.

Su Wanxin finished speaking, eliciting a laugh from Ding Kai Ze.

"Coming for you?" He scoffed at Su Wanxin. "Aren’t you overestimating yourself?"

Su Wanxin didn’t reply because she heard the sound of the banquet hall doors opening.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the commotion, as they saw a foreign man in his fifties, accompanied by a translator and colleagues, walking in with a smile.

This man was the main character of today’s banquet, GE’s CEO, Mr. Hodward.

The moment he appeared, Ding Kai Ze immediately dragged Shen Xiaochen over, too lazy to confront Su Wanxin for the time being.

Standing leisurely in her original spot, Su Wanxin watched those swarming around and scoffed ironically.

The news of Hodward coming to Hua Country for business expansion had already spread, and two-thirds of the guests present today probably wished he hadn’t come to Hua Country, fearing him and specifically coming to flatter him.

GE’s reputation was too significant; any businessman with skeletons in their closet or company shenanigans would fear this blond-haired gentleman.

Surrounded by people, Hodward calmly accepted a glass of red wine and chatted with everyone.

Upon taking his first sip of the wine, he frowned, not saying anything, but everyone noticed the change in his expression.

The wine...indeed did not suit his palate.

Seeing his frown, Ding Kai Ze’s heart skipped a beat, cursing inside that this foreigner was as picky as Su Wanxin.

"Mr. Hodward, I’ve long admired your name, it’s an honor to meet you today." Shen Wenguang smiled and shook hands with Hodward, striking up a conversation. "I am the president of ST Group, Shen Wenguang."

"Hello." Hodward replied softly, his face always wearing a gentle smile, a far cry from his nickname "Death."

"Mr. Hodward, I’ve heard that your purpose of coming to Hua is to find new business partners?" Ding Kai Ze found an opportunity to ask, "Are you really planning to start a new company in Hua Country?"

Hodward turned his head to look at him, his smile still present.

"Yes, that’s correct."

His words prompted a mix of expressions from the crowd and a flurry of discussions.

Death was coming to Hua Country; I wonder which company will be the first to be targeted?

He mentioned looking for partners; has he almost finished negotiating with someone? Or is he still searching?

Everyone tried to use the opportunity to engage in conversation with Hodward, leaving those who had no chance of getting close to watch the excitement from a distance. Then, slowly, they noticed that Su Wanxin was standing in the dining area, picking food to her liking as if browsing a cafeteria.

There was only her over there; she wandered slowly, gazing seriously at the desserts on the table, at times indecisive and at times disdainful.

She had rushed over in the evening and hadn’t eaten much at home; she was a bit hungry. But considering that Ding Kai Ze’s wine was a cheap and inferior product, was the food even edible?

She tried taking a small bite of cake, then spat it out immediately.

As expected, it was truly tasteless.

Seeing her actions, someone couldn’t help but shake their head with a chuckle.

This young lady’s heart is indeed big; quite interesting. Who exactly did she agree to meet here?

Not able to enjoy the food or drinks, Su Wanxin’s mood also soured.

She took out her phone, thinking of complaining to Fu Shihan, but in the end decided against it.

Putting down her phone, Su Wanxin turned her head to look in Hodward’s direction. She patiently waited for others to finish chatting with him, and then walked towards him.
