Chapter 839: The Unlucky Twin Sister (68)

Chapter 839: Chapter 839: The Unlucky Twin Sister (68)

Right now in the country, there are very few chip companies that don’t have to rely on Yan Fei. After all, she’s the one holding the most advanced chip technology.

As long as she’s in this world, Yan Fei will always have a say in this field. No one can replace her.

And then there’s another group, the ones with sharp instincts, who feel that Yan Fei’s existence is very special, and figure it’s never wrong to build a good relationship.

The moment she walked into the cocktail party, she was immediately surrounded by a crowd. These were all big shots who could shake a whole region just by stomping a foot.

Some of the soy-sauce extras at the banquet couldn’t even get a glimpse of Qiann Yan. All they could see were those big names grinning from ear to ear, showering her with over-the-top compliments.

Qiann Yan, though, didn’t turn anyone away. She chatted a bit with whoever came over, and while she was at it, she introduced Linn Huai to them.

Linn Huai was just as calm in honor or disgrace, smiling as he talked with people.

He started hustling in society very early, mature beyond his years, and has seen a lot. Even if tonight’s scene was a bit grand, he was still able to handle it.

"So this is Boss Linn. My wife and daughter are huge fans of ’Yanhuai’ clothes."

"Last time my wife bought a set of clothes from ’Yanhuai’ and brought back a freebie, a wallet." A middle-aged man pulled out his wallet and showed it off to everyone. "At first I wasn’t interested. I thought my wife was being really stingy—she buys herself a whole outfit and only brings me back a freebie. But the moment I got this wallet in my hand, I really liked it. I was thinking, this ’Yanhuai’ is pretty damn good: even a little freebie is made so exquisitely. So I’ve been carrying it on me ever since."

Sure, there was some flattery in there, but the fact that he kept the wallet on him was enough to show he really liked it.

Qiann Yan followed up smoothly: "’Yanhuai’ freebies are all very special, and not everyone gets one. Basically only the first batch of a new season’s clothes come with a gift. Every freebie has tiny details that are unique. The wallet in President Zhang’s hand is one of the beasts from the Hundred Beasts Painting. There are only a hundred of these wallets in the whole country, and every beast pattern on them was carved by Linn Huai himself."

Hearing Qiann Yan say that, everyone there froze for a second.

They’d just been thinking President Zhang was shamelessly sucking up, and now realized this wallet is actually incredibly rare—almost rarer than the new clothes themselves?

Linn Huai was secretly delighted; Yanyan had just praised him in front of everyone again.

He didn’t know that the people present were already thinking they absolutely had to sit down with their wives and plan properly, to snap up next season’s new ’Yanhuai’ releases as early as possible—the freebies were all limited editions.

After showing their faces in front of Qiann Yan, everyone drifted off to do their own thing.

Tonight was a cocktail party; everyone had other business to attend to. Just managing to show your face in front of Boss Yan Fei was already a win. Clinging like a piece of sticky taffy would only make people dislike you.

Ma Yuman didn’t leave, though. She stayed by Qiann Yan’s side, chatting with her.

"Qiann Yan, am I being a third wheel like this?"

"Am I interrupting your alone time?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Linn Huai didn’t mind Ma Yuman being a third wheel at all. He was probably the only one who actually hoped Ma Yuman would hang around Yanyan more and keep talking.

Unfortunately, Ma Yuman has way too many weak spots, and with just a couple of lines Yanyan can have her begging for mercy.

Sure enough, seeing Qiann Yan about to speak, Ma Yuman hurriedly switched the topic: "Look over at the Zhu Family."

Qiann Yan followed Ma Yuman’s gaze toward the Zhu Family members and saw that Zhu Zhengming and his family were all smiles, chatting merrily with people.

Given the Zhu Family’s current situation, anyone here who’d heard the rumors ought to be avoiding them like the plague.
