Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

Chapter 554: 538 New Characters

Ouyang Long wasn’t worth mentioning, though he was a sly old fox, ever since Yan Yueqing took over the company, that ease he used to show was gone, replaced by absolute obedience and respect.

Those familiar with him all said Ouyang Long had changed a lot recently, became much steadier, but no one spoke ill of Yan Yueqing because of it.

Zhou Jue was different.

He was a true native tycoon of Chunyue City, with investments in countless businesses, and Xingyue Media was just a minor one among them.

On normal days, he was busy with other companies’ affairs and hardly ever showed up at Xingyue unless there was a shareholders’ meeting.

After Yan Yueqing appeared, Zhou Jue was practically rooted at Xingyue Media, clocking in daily at the company.

His friends joked, were his concerns really with Xingyue, this small company, or had he taken a fancy to the new Big Boss?

Each time such comments were made, Zhou Jue corrected them with righteousness—Don’t make jokes about me and President Yue!

His character was carefree and defiant, rarely speaking for anyone or taking a stand.

Seeing his seriousness, friends would also button their lips.

Maybe...

Was Yan Yueqing even more formidable than they had imagined? Otherwise, how could someone like Zhou Jue be content to position himself below her?!

To be honest, Zhou Jue was a regular guest at the grand banquets of Chunyue City, not seen at this president’s banquet hall then at that magnate’s villa, where almost every high-society figure was familiar with him.

Not to mention the wealthy families, even many big-shots from the political sphere were on good terms with him.

Having been to so many grand occasions, Zhou Jue could handle any situation with ease.

Yet, at today’s modest banquet, he felt so constrained he dared not even speak.

The one seated in the place of honor was Minister Mu from Capital City... a leading figure’s sharp edge! They weren’t privileged to know the specifics of his work, but he certainly could easily determine life or death for these minor figures.

The banquet was organized by Boss Leng, a retired politician from the political realm, with connections beyond what ordinary people could imagine!

Since his retirement, Boss Leng had hardly appeared in the social scene, devoting himself to grandchildren at home.

Some who had encountered troubles they couldn’t resolve, despite seeking many connections to no avail, but as long as they could ask Boss Leng for help, a phone call could solve most problems.

Saying he had far-reaching influence in Chunyue City wasn’t an exaggeration.

Only someone like Boss Leng had the standing to set up and host a banquet honoring Minister Mu from Capital City.

Ordinarily, such esteemed individuals were beyond their reach to even see, but today, because of President Yue, they could gather at one table for a meal.

Heaven knows how hard Zhou Jue practiced his smile in the mirror after hearing the news.

In the end, upon arriving here, he still couldn’t smile...

Now, facing Yan Yueqing’s concerned gaze, he pursed his lips, not daring to speak.

Big Boss Yue, do you even realize the caliber of deities seated here today?!

How can you be smiling like that...

Yan Yueqing exchanged a few words with Chen Wanyu, then curiously asked, "This seat beside me, is someone else coming?"

Chen Wanyu’s eyes gleamed with mirth as she left a cliffhanger, "You’ll see in a moment."

Such mystery?

Yan Yueqing smiled, guessing there must be some important guest on the way.

As she was speaking, Yan Yueqing felt a gentle warmth on her shoulder.

Seemed like a gentle, large hand was resting lightly upon it.

She turned in surprise,

And was met with a face of striking beauty.

Jun Lii looked at her with a smile, "Sorry, I’m late."
