After chatting, seeing that the elevator doors had opened, they didn't waste any more words with the Chen Family People and hastily slipped inside.
Of course, there were two elevators: one for Jiang Huaimeng and the other ladies, while the other was crammed with them, a bunch of grown men.
If those had been beauties with no particular status, they certainly would have enjoyed squeezing into the elevator with them, getting their kicks, but what status did Jiang Huaimeng have, who would dare to be presumptuous with her?
The Chen Family People, petrified where they stood, looked around at the empty space beside them; as a breeze blew by, stirring the leaves at their feet into a whirl, they felt so desolate and lonely!
Everyone, gone again!
Old Master Chen, once he came to his senses, was so angry he could spit blood!
Dammit, this isn't how you treat people!
They had clearly come to celebrate his old companion's sixty-sixth birthday, so why had everyone run off to a kid's birthday party instead?!
You damn people, you don't even recognize them, how could you have the audacity to shamelessly show up there?!
"Dammit, I refuse to believe that today, no one will come to wish my companion a happy birthday!"
Old Master Chen cursed out loud and decided just to block the doorway; he wouldn't let their friends and family be delayed a moment longer when they arrived, and he certainly wouldn't let them run off with whomever they saw upon arrival.
So, the Chen Family People no longer went up to the small banquet hall first to wait around since there weren't any guests requiring their company at the moment.
Soon, several luxury cars, the cheapest of which was worth three million, drove into the parking area in front of the Kaiyan Hotel.
The sight only made the Chen Family People murmur to themselves, guessing they were probably here for the mysterious person's birthday celebration in the large banquet hall.
Because they knew their friends and family didn't roll in that league!
Then, the car doors opened, and a group of people got out, each carrying a gift box. From their cautious expressions, it seemed the gifts were quite expensive.
Old Master Chen focused his gaze for a moment and immediately recognized who they were.
The CEO of Heavenly God Technology Co., Ltd., with a net worth of over ten billion!
The CEO of Mu Group Textiles, similarly worth tens of billions!
And another was even more frightening, a well-known billionaire in Jiangnan Province, with a net worth over a hundred billion!
And today, they've all come to celebrate somebody's birthday?
"Jiahui, go over and ask, see if they're really here to celebrate next door?"
Old Master Chen murmured in his heart, skeptical yet unwilling to believe it, and nudged his granddaughter with his foot, coaxing her to go over there and inquire.
"Me?!" Chen Jiahui looked at the group of people, feeling the immense pressure, only to find her grandfather actually telling her to go ask, which made her legs tremble even more.
"But they probably won't pay any attention to me!"
Chen Jiahui complained with a mournful tone.
Old Master Chen frowned and said, "Hurry up and try, everyone's already here. Not going to make your dad and me lose face, are you?"
'Crap!'
Chen Jiahui cursed internally, realizing full well that approaching them would be embarrassing, yet here she was being pushed to do just that!
What a shameless old man you are!
Chen Jiahui mentally complained and then glanced at Wang Chaoyong, who stood next to her, dazed and confused. Annoyed, she kicked his leg and scolded, "What are you spacing out for? Go over there and ask already!"
Wang Chaoyong, jolted by the kick, felt extremely aggrieved.
But who asked him to marry into the family? This treatment was rightly his to bear.
Afterward, Wang Chaoyong summoned his courage and approached the group.
As he walked, his legs began to feel weak; he didn't dare to test the waters carelessly.
His eyes darted around, and then a thought struck him; he stiffly smiled and asked, "Excuse me, are you here to attend Miss Lin's birthday party today?"
"Yeah, and you are?"
A few people looked at Wang Chaoyong, unable to grasp his status, and their tone was quite polite.
'Indeed.' Wang Chaoyong thought that the birthday celebrant they were here to honor must be Lin Qiaoxia, so he deliberately called out Miss Lin's birthday. With this test, he indeed sussed it out.
He had initially planned to report back to the Chen Family People after finding out, but facing the stares from this group, he felt immense pressure and let out a hearty laugh, saying, "I came down to receive you guys!"
"That's really considerate!"
On hearing this, they felt somewhat flattered.
They had come unannounced, and Mr. Mu had actually sent a staffer down to receive them—it was indeed very courteous.
Consequently, they followed Wang Chaoyong, this waiter, upstairs to the third floor.
"This is the place."
Wang Chaoyong led them to the entrance of the grand banquet hall and spoke respectfully.
"Thank you!"
The group of company bosses arrived at the door of the grand banquet hall, took out their wallets, pulled out a handful of red banknotes, handed them to Wang Chaoyong, and then went inside.
Usually, tasks like giving tips were handled by their secretaries or assistants, but so many were coming to the birthday celebration today that they feared bringing their secretaries would make them seem too high-profile, risking a beating and ejection, so they came alone.
They didn't even bring their bodyguards!
Wang Chaoyong caught the banknotes, feeling somewhat bemused.
Damn it, impersonating a waiter and he actually received a tip of four or five thousand.
Frick, he slaved away for Chen Jiahui and didn't get this much of a tip!
"Damn it, who told you to come down here and play waiter? You've completely disgraced me!"
At this moment, Chen Jiahui also came over, grabbed Wang Chaoyong's ear, and started scolding him.
She, along with her parents and grandfather, had watched with wide eyes as Wang Chaoyong led the group away, initially thinking that he, with his thick eyebrows and large eyes, had also betrayed them.
She was so furious, hence she followed them up. She had intended to burst into the grand banquet hall and drag Wang Chaoyong out, but seeing his sheepish demeanor, she understood he wasn't a traitor; he had acted cowardly and pretended to be a waiter to probe for information!
She couldn't help but come over to scold and hit the guy.
Then, she snatched the banknotes from his hand.
She had intended to just throw them away but, after a thought, four or five thousand wasn't a negligible amount, and she felt it would be wasteful to discard it, so she pocketed it herself.
Wang Chaoyong watched Chen Jiahui's actions, his lips quivered a few times, wanting to say the money was his, but intimidated by her fierce glare, he faltered and dared not speak.
Afterward, they went back downstairs to report the situation to Old Master Chen.
"I see."
Old Master Chen's face darkened, and he said no more.
Because by the time Chen Jiahui had come down, the most sought-after eldest granddaughter of the Xu Family of the Four Major Families, Xu Qingya, had already gone up in the elevator.
In addition to Jiang Wangchuan's most beloved daughter, Jiang Huaimeng.
The mysterious person who had commandeered their grand banquet hall for their birthday party had attracted so many significant figures!
How could he dare to gossip about it now?
Who exactly are they?!
Old Master Chen muttered to himself incessantly in his heart.
At this moment, he also couldn't help feeling the urge to ignore his own partner's birthday feast and sneak a peek at the neighbor's event, to see who exactly they were!
However, Old Master Chen feared that doing so would result in his partner breaking his legs, so he didn't dare to take action!
