Chapter 655: Chapter 657: The Generous Liu Yu, The Narcissistic Hao Yongjun

Four Seasons Hotel, in the luxury dining room where Lin Fei and the others were seated.

As Liu Yu, the personal secretary and senior personal assistant to Chairman Su Qinglan of the Red Valley Group, leisurely walked into the luxury dining room, accompanied by several executives from the Four Seasons Hotel, the entire room fell silent in an instant.

“Liu, I’m just borrowing this splendid venue to hold a class reunion. I didn’t expect the hotel to trouble you. Your presence here is a great honor for Yongjun.”

While everyone in the luxury dining room fell silent at the entrance of Liu Yu and company, Hao Yongjun, whose family department store had some business dealings with the Red Valley Group, and had a slight acquaintance with Liu Yu, the enchanting chairman’s secretary, briskly approached her, feeling greatly honored.

“Mr. Hao, you’re too kind,” Liu Yu, pausing in her stride due to Hao Yongjun’s approach, recalled his status with a prompt from the executives of the Four Seasons Hotel behind her, and responded off the cuff.

Although Liu Yu’s response was casual, Hao Yongjun couldn’t help feeling excited, considering her clear importance in the eyes of the Red Valley Group and Su Qinglan, the alluring chairman.

Such a casual remark from a personal secretary like Liu Yu naturally thrilled Hao Yongjun, the general manager of the family-owned department store. It seemed unbelievable, but when one considered the size of the assets behind both companies, it made perfect sense.

Though Hao Yongjun was the general manager of a family department store, his family’s company hardly ranked among the numerous private enterprises in Zhonghai City.

Their assets amounted to just a few hundred million.

Yet, even though Liu Yu was just the personal secretary to Su Qinglan, the enchanting chairman, due to the vast businesses of hotels and beauty salons under the Red Valley Group, Liu Yu could act as a direct representative of the chairman in certain occasions. The scale of assets she could command was far beyond what Hao Yongjun, a general manager of a small department store, could compare to.

In short, the two were not on the same level at all.

Especially after the alliance between Red Valley Group and Mu Group, there was a subtle momentum to rank among the top ten private enterprises in Zhonghai.

The fact that Hao Yongjun could talk to someone like Liu Yu, who on occasion directly represented the will of Su Qinglan, the enchanting chairman, was indeed considered a personal honor. It could even become a talking point in his social circle in the future.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce this beautiful young lady by my side.” Hao Yongjun, feeling very honored and believing that Liu Yu had specifically come to greet him because she heard about the class reunion he was organizing, spoke loudly with pride: “Sister Liu is the blessing of the women of Zhonghai City; she is the personal secretary to Chairman Su of Red Valley Group and a senior personal assistant. I may speak out of turn, but in our circles, everyone privately regards Sister Liu as the direct representative of Chairman Su. It’s rare for Sister Liu to take time out of her busy schedule to greet everyone, so let’s all give her a warm welcome!”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Led by Hao Yongjun, a much more enthusiastic round of applause than before erupted in honor of Liu Yu’s arrival.

This time, without any prompting from Lu Ping, everyone at Lin Fei’s high school reunion in the luxury dining room clapped desperately. The clapping from a few of the women was even more fervent than that of the men beside them.

Even Qi Wenjie, who had previously not given Hao Yongjun any face, felt a surge of admiration and envy as she began to applaud with self-awareness.

She clapped for Liu Yu, and behind Liu Yu, for the woman hailed as the gospel for female residents of Zhonghai—Su Qinglan!

This was the essence of personal charm. For office workers like Qi Wenjie, Su Qinglan, the goddess-like Chairwoman, was somewhat of a legendary figure.

Now, it was exhilarating for the men in the luxurious dining room to be in the presence of someone close to Su Qinglan, the goddess-like Chairwoman. And for ordinary urban office women like Qi Wenjie, who practically idolized the Chairwoman, this was beyond exciting.

Had it not been for the gap in status between them, the ordinary urban women gathered here, including Qi Wenjie, would’ve been unable to resist approaching Liu Yu to inquire about the rumors and daily anecdotes concerning Chairwoman Su Qinglan.

“I am delighted that everyone could attend our meeting at the hotel owned by the Red Valley Group. On behalf of both the Red Valley Group and the Four Seasons Hotel, I welcome all of you. To show our sincerity, I have instructed the hotel to give all of you exclusive access to the hotel’s top-floor swimming pool for three days. Moreover, I have also arranged for each of you to have a reserved suite for the same duration. During these three days, you are welcome to bring your friends and family to stay and enjoy the hotel. All expenses will be on the house. I hope you all have a wonderful time,” he declared.

Following Liu Yu’s generous gesture, the applause, which had briefly paused during his speech in the luxurious dining room, resurged with even greater enthusiasm!

It was more fervent than before!

“Liu, Sister Liu, this, this—”

Hao Yongjun, who had originally thought Liu Yu was just stopping by to greet the high school reunion because she was on a business trip to the Four Seasons Hotel, was now completely flustered and blushing after hearing Liu Yu’s generous offer. As the general manager of a family department store, he was so moved he didn’t know what to say.

However, Liu Yu, the close secretary to Su Qinglan, the goddess-like Chairwoman, didn’t seem to care much about Hao Yongjun’s reaction. After her generous announcement, she gracefully walked toward Lin Fei, who was standing next to Qi Wenjie.

Every move Liu Yu made undoubtedly captured the full attention of everyone in the luxurious dining room. She showed no intention of dealing with Hao Yongjun, and instead, turned to walk in Lin Fei’s direction.

The crowd, initially uplifted and applauding vigorously because of Liu Yu’s generous words, now couldn’t help but feel a bit stunned.

The surprise of the others in the luxurious dining room did not affect Liu Yu, the close secretary to Su Qinglan, Chairwoman, as she approached Lin Fei and greeted him with a gentle smile and a bow of her head, “Mr. Lin, how come you didn’t let us know in advance about your visit? If it weren’t for the hotel staff informing me, I wouldn’t have known about your arrival. As soon as Chairwoman Su knew you were here, she sent me right over. If there has been any lack of hospitality on the hotel’s part before this, I hope you will forgive us.”

Liu Yu’s words to Lin Fei were clearly heard by everyone else in the luxurious dining room.

The high school classmates of Lin Fei, who had shown a hint of surprise at Liu Yu’s move, were now thoroughly astonished…
