After the group got on the flying car, it sped straight to the central and southern districts of the city. The Transit String was hosting a banquet at a hotel called the Galaxy Dynasty, which was a property of the Xinhong Group. The hotel was extremely high-class and was usually the place where these rich and powerful people spent their time.
Ding Meng also found out the purpose of Yu Anjie's visit on the way here. After all, the Transit String was one of the higher-ups of the Xinhong Group's headquarters. In order to show courtesy, Yu Anjie also came in person out of the principle of reciprocity.
In the many years of fighting between Sheng Hao and Xinhong, Yu Anjie had dealt with the Transit String more than once. He knew how powerful this woman was and was afraid that Lan Bing would not be able to handle it. Therefore, he came this time to protect the beauty.
The banquet was held on the top floor of the hotel. The view here was excellent, and one could overlook the night view of the southern district. As early as 17 o 'clock in the afternoon, the venue was cleared by the Xinhong Group. The huge restaurant was dazzling. Only the higher-ups of a few big families came.
Sometimes, this kind of occasion where celebrities gathered was also a place for beautiful women to compete with each other. The Transit String was dressed in splendid clothes and jewelry. In terms of glamour, she was not inferior to Lan Bing. Even her assistants, Jin Xiaoyan and Guan Fan, were beautiful and charming.
Originally, the Transit String was well-prepared. However, when Yu Anjie and the group entered the restaurant, the Transit String saw Ding Meng behind Lan Bing at a glance. This directly disrupted her original plan. However, this was expected. The Sheng Hao Group's speed of action was never slower than the Xinhong Group's. As expected, Ding Meng was recruited by Lan Bing first.
"President Yu, President Lan, we are honored to have you here!" The Transit String was full of smiles. There was nothing strange about her expression.
Yu Anjie handled these situations with ease. He took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Miss Ling, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful."
The Transit String smiled and said jokingly, "In terms of beauty, I am still slightly inferior to President Lan!"
Lan Bing replied politely, "Miss Ling, you think too highly of me. How can I be compared to a talented beauty on the list?"
Transit String had a special characteristic when she smiled. It was hard to tell if she was really smiling or not. "Not only is CEO Lan beautiful, but she's also very capable. She's always one step ahead of me when it comes to things I can't do."
She was alluding to Ding Meng. Yu Anjie smiled and said, "Miss Ling, Lil Bing and Ding Meng are old friends. When Ding Meng comes back, he will naturally visit his old friend. I hope you can forgive him."
We're old acquaintances, okay?
The Transit String really wanted to reply, but this wasn't the right time, so she could only change her words. "President Yu, President Lan, please!"
The banquet was in the style of a buffet. Everyone could walk around freely. The dining room was also very well decorated. In addition to the most basic facilities, the Transit String had gotten a band from somewhere, and they were all playing classical music.
She had obviously done her research on Lan Bing. Lan Bing's hobby was retro, so even the residence that Yu Anjie had gifted to Lan Bing was a classic villa like Huating No. 2.
This kind of occasion was naturally centered around the big shots talking and laughing. Ding Meng and his entourage were arranged to sit in a side hall. This side hall was actually better than the main hall because it was similar to a balcony. They could enjoy the beautiful lights of Blue Pole Star City.
At this moment, Ding Meng ran into an old acquaintance in the side hall – Cartel!
"Hahaha, Ding Meng, you're finally back." Cartel swept away his sloppy appearance and looked very energetic.
"Mr. Cartel!
I haven't seen you for a long time! "
Ding Meng was very grateful to Cartel. The Catoptric Deflection sword on his belt was tailor-made for him by Mr. Cartel. This sword had helped him destroy many powerful enemies along the way. Even the dozen or so Battle Monarchs of Star Rainbow had died under this sword.
Cartel was used to being casual. He brought two plates of duck meat and invited Ding Meng to sit down and enjoy it together. Ding Meng didn't stand on ceremony with him. Just like when they had eaten eel noodles in the underground city, the two of them buried their heads and swept through the food.
At the next table, Huang Pei, Yamcha, and Yu Lingwei were somewhat curious about the new secretary. This Secretary Ding seemed to be eclectic, and he even knew the higher-ups of Star Rainbow.
"He is President Lan's former friend!" Yu Lingwei explained.
Everyone knew this, but Yu Lingwei's expression was a little unnatural. "I wonder why he is the security secretary?"
Yamcha asked curiously, "Sister Yu, you don't know the reason, so how can we know?"
Yu Lingwei said, "When he came, I couldn't sense his aura. He didn't seem to have any aura."
As soon as these words came out, Huang Pei and Yamcha's expressions changed. Huang Pei probed, "Xiaowei, you couldn't sense it?"
Yu Lingwei nodded. "I really couldn't sense it."
Huang Pei and Yamcha exchanged glances. Upon seeing this, Yu Lingwei hurriedly asked, "Old Huang, did I overlook something?"
Huang Pei sighed. "Xiaowei, President Yu arranged for you to come to Blue Moon Branch. You have to have a good relationship with this Secretary Ding in the future."
Yu Lingwei curiously asked, "Oh?"
Huang Pei lowered his voice. "When Yamcha and I were in the villa, we quietly investigated this Secretary Ding. Even we couldn't see his depth."
"Hiss …"
Yu Lingwei secretly sucked in a breath of cold air. So that's how it is. It's not that Ding Meng doesn't have any aura, but that Ding Meng has controlled his aura to the extent that she can't detect it at all. No wonder President Lan wants him to be the security secretary. President Lan's vision is really sharp.
While they were chatting, a beautiful figure appeared at Ding Meng's table. The secretary of the Transit String, Jin Xiaoyan, walked over leisurely. "Mr. Ding Meng, welcome back!"
Ding Meng had a good impression of her. "Secretary Jin, long time no see. Do you want to eat together?"
Jin Xiaoyan appeared very generous and sat down directly beside Ding Meng. "This is the first time I'm eating with you. Congratulations, Ding Meng. You are now a member of Shenghao Group."
Cartel obviously didn't know about this. He raised his head in surprise. "Ding Meng, what's going on?
Why did you run over to Shenghao Group?
Since you're back, shouldn't you be returning to our Starry Rainbow Sect?
Besides, you are originally a member of Star Rainbow. "
Ding Meng cursed inwardly. Jin Xiaoyan must have been instructed by the Transit String to deliberately come over to test his reaction. The key was that Huang Fei and the other members of Yu Anjie's direct line were sitting next to him. This kind of words was too dangerous. Those who didn't know the truth might think that Ding Meng was a spy sent by Star Rainbow.
Of course, with Huang Fei and Yu Lingwei's status and strength, they wouldn't be easily fooled by Jin Xiaoyan's tricks.
Ding Meng smiled. "Mr. Cartel, you have been doing research and development at Star Rainbow's headquarters. Many things outside are not like before."
Cartel frowned. "I always remember that Miss Ling thinks highly of you."
Ding Meng smiled. "That was before!"
He was hinting that now was not the time. Unexpectedly, Jin Xiaoyan reacted very quickly. "Actually, Miss Ling thinks highly of you now, even more than before."
Ding Meng sneered. "Secretary Jin, let me ask you a question. What if I really died in outer space and haven't returned yet?"
Jin Xiaoyan smiled. "That won't affect Miss Ling's opinion of you."
"I also believe that it won't affect her opinion!" Ding Meng suddenly put down his chopsticks. "But it will affect her practice!"
Jin Xiaoyan said, "At least Miss Ling treats you very well."
"Very well!" Ding Meng suddenly became expressionless. "Why wasn't the refugee camp properly dealt with?
Why is there no news from the doctors of Planet V4?
Song Chen from Star Rainbow Entertainment killed Fang Zhenghao?
When the Bai family wanted to forcibly marry my girlfriend, the Second Miss of Star Rainbow Group actually came to celebrate. You are indeed very good to me. "
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became tense. Huang Pei and the other two looked at each other. Damn, so it was because of these reasons that President Lan recruited Secretary Ding. Star Rainbow Group had never done things properly. How could they step on such a minefield?
Jin Xiaoyan said apologetically, "Mr. Ding Meng, I'm very sorry about these things. Actually, Miss Ling was against most of the decisions, but unfortunately, she didn't get more support, so …"
Ding Meng said lightly, "So she just let it be, is that right?"
Jin Xiaoyan lowered her head and said, "Mr. Ding Meng, I sincerely apologize to you on behalf of Miss Ling for not dealing with these things properly."
Ding Meng nodded. "I don't mean to blame her, but there's something I need you to tell her."
Jin Xiaoyan said, "Please speak!"
Ding Meng said, "If anything happens to the group of doctor refugees on Planet V4, Star Rainbow Group will also receive the corresponding consequences."
The side hall fell into silence at this moment. Everyone was shocked by Ding Meng's words. Even Huang Pei and the other two looked at him in surprise. They knew that he had some ability, but he couldn't be so arrogant, right?
Did he know who he was talking to?
Even if Jin Xiaoyan was just a secretary, she was the secretary of the Transit String. Her attitude now represented the attitude of the Transit String.
At this moment, a dull voice came from the door of the side hall. "Can I take this as a threat to Star Rainbow Group?"
The voice was not loud, but the arrogant tone could not be concealed. Everyone turned their heads and saw a tall middle-aged man walking in. For a moment, everyone looked at each other. No one present knew this person, but since this person could appear here, it proved that his identity was definitely not bad.
Huang Pei and Yamcha looked at each other again. Both of their eyes were filled with surprise, and there was even a trace of horror in their surprise. The guy who came in was the same as Secretary Ding. They couldn't see through his depth at all. Although his aura was only at the War Reverend rank, the profound foundation displayed by his fluctuations was no less than theirs.
The man's tone was arrogant, but Ding Meng was still cold and expressionless, because his answer was even more arrogant. "If you think it's a threat, then it's a threat. If you think it's not a threat, then I'm afraid it will become a threat sooner or later."
The man was not angry, but looked at him with interest. "As expected of me, I rushed here without eating. Young people nowadays are really amazing. They don't care about anything just because they have a little ability."
Ding Meng said indifferently, "If you want to be taken seriously, you have to at least have some weight."
The man smiled. "Alright, I'm here today to see if you're the one who weighs more, or if I weigh less."
After saying that, he suddenly stopped and stared straight at Ding Meng, as if an invisible pressure had been released.
