He even thought that perhaps he shouldn't interact too closely with these relatives from back home anymore, as it might lower his status. After all, he was now a prominent figure.
Until an executive from a large group sent a subordinate over to discuss investment matters with Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu nearly lost his head over this great news, shaking hands with the subordinate repeatedly.
His company had been struggling for a long time, and he had always wanted to leverage the power of the Huo Group, but they had ignored him.
However, today, another group was finally willing to talk about investments with him. Although this group was far inferior to the Huo Group, it was more than enough for him.
The subordinate said, "No need to thank us; our boss is doing this for Miss Huo's sake."
In essence, it was just a gesture of goodwill towards the Huo family.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu felt a bit annoyed.
He wasn't someone who needed a woman to survive.
Everything he had was earned through his own hard work.
But still, getting an investment from a large group was a huge blessing.
At this moment, many people came over to toast Zhao Yu, congratulating him.
"Brother Zhao, you've really climbed up another level."
"Brother Zhao, now that you're so capable, remember to give me a boost."
"..."
Zhao Yu couldn't hide his smugness, feeling invincible.
It was normal; he was a one-in-a-million talent, and all this glory was well-deserved.
Just then, an unexpected incident occurred.
A short-haired girl suddenly appeared and hugged Zhao Yu from behind, pouting, "Darling, why did you lie to me and tell me to wait at another restaurant? You're having your birthday party here?"
Her appearance instantly drew everyone's attention.
The bustling restaurant fell silent.
Everyone, including Huo Mengyan, looked at Zhao Yu.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Yu's forehead. He hadn't anticipated this scene. Turning to look at the short-haired girl, he blurted out, "Why are you here?"
This indicated that he indeed knew her.
Realizing his mistake, he hastily explained to Huo Mengyan, "Don't misunderstand, I don't know her."
Huo Mengyan frowned.
The short-haired girl only then noticed Huo Mengyan and asked Zhao Yu, "Darling, who is she?"
Zhao Yu, in a panic, pushed the short-haired girl away, "Get lost! I don't know you!"
If he had to choose, Huo Mengyan was clearly wealthier and could bring him greater benefits, so he definitely chose her.
Pushed by Zhao Yu, the short-haired girl almost stumbled, her temper flaring. "Zhao Yu, what's your problem? You stayed at my place last night, and now you're pretending? Should I show everyone the security footage from my doorstep?"
Zhao Yu was frantic. "Stop making things up!!"
He couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.
He had explicitly told this girl to wait at another restaurant. Why did she suddenly show up here?
Adding to Zhao Yu's distress, another girl approached him.
