To Love You Again

Chapter 498 - Exchanged of Glances

Lu Yin Ze who was standing by Xiong Zhi\'s side froze.

Linfeng?

The Zhou Linfeng he knew?

His silver-blue eyes were dumbfounded as he stared at the person being introduced by the most successful young men.

As a person who had attended the banquet today, he knew the inside stories and how important this day was for the five kings.

He was one of the people who had also guessed that perhaps, today, the sixth king would be introduced to the society.

But he never expected that it was Zhou Linfeng, that butler.

Those dark pools that looked at him earlier clearly gave him a warning.

\'Get away from Xiong Zhi.\'

Lu Yin Ze\'s eyes then blankly swept to the woman beside him.

Xiong Zhi\'s eyes were glistening under the dim lights.

Her eyes only stayed at Linfeng.

Lu Yin Ze fell silent.

"Zhi\'er," he called out after a while.

"Lu Yin Ze, this is not a good time to argue." She did not even glance at him.

Lu Yin Zhe shut his mouth.

If he spoke more, Xiong Zhi might dislike him again.

A sense of bitterness and loss rose from his heart.

He inwardly wondered, what was he even striving about?

He was inside the hall filled with people and the person he loved, but his presence was fading. As if the noise and the people slowly disappeared, and he was standing alone.

In front, Linfeng had already been introduced.

Erich had also pinned a uniquely designed \'K\' brooch on his left b.r.e.a.s.t pocket.

Clearly, it was a sign that now, he officially belonged to this brotherhood.

It was only a short introduction.

Erich, the speaker, spoke highly of SC Company which Linfeng owned, and went on to explain that the progenitor of ZD Comprehensive Project was Linfeng.

Linfeng finally stepped forward to talk briefly about his company and his future projects.

Many businessmen were very interested in SC Company after the success of ZD World. Now, seeing the promising young man spoke with persuasive confidence, many of the business moguls took a liking for Linfeng.

As soon the young man stepped down and mingled with the crowd, the curious personages stepped forward to get to know the sixth king of the young generation of the international business world.

Linfeng was instantly surrounded.

He took a brief glance at Xiong Zhi\'s direction while he eloquently conversed through different languages. He actually wanted to stay by her side the whole evening, especially after he had seen the huge pest lingering around his girlfriend.

But this party was painstakingly prepared by his \'brothers\', and he had also promised to himself and to Xiong Zhi that he would make use of this dinner party to expand his network and resources.

"Mr. Zhou, congratulations on the success of ZD World and becoming an official member of the group... "

"Mr. Zhou, I\'ve been wanting to meet the person behind SC Company. I\'m very interested with your ZD World…"

"ZD World is very successful. The project you mentioned earlier seems to have a great potential as well. The VIKINGS Group would like express our interest in boarding the ship..."

Linfeng paused when he heard that.

VIKINGS?

It was a group of companies comparable to Grand Agency in the West and could rival many business empires in Country C. It was a huge consortium mainly doing business in the areas of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. It had also spread its business scope in Russia.

When Linfeng saw the person who just came, he was surprised.

"Mr. Finch, it\'s a pleasure to be your acquaintance."

Linfeng shook hands with the man nearing his later years, but still exuded the mature charm of an accomplished man.

Who did not know Mr. Finch?

Linfeng greatly admired this man who had made the VIKINGS reach the peak it was in today.

Mr. Finch gently smiled. He was pleased that the young man immediately responded to him.

It was certain that he had a good eye.

Mr. Finch came with a proposal for the sixth king.

Linfeng glanced fleetingly at Xiong Zhi\'s direction once more. His eyes met Xiong Zhi\'s.

"Mr. Finch. Will it be fine to…" Linfeng was about to excuse himself when his voice trailed off, seeing Xiong Zhi shake her head.

Xiong Zhi knew that Linfeng wanted to go to her, but she recognized the person he was talking to. She waved and mouthed, \'go and get it\'.

As businessmen, they naturally could not let go of every business opportunity.

Linfeng\'s eyes flickered to the space beside her, particularly to that silver head who was standing silently.

Xiong Zhi also looked and understood immediately.

She took a huge step away from Lu Yin Ze.

Lu Yin Ze: . . . .

He had seen their exchange, ah.

What do they took him as, a bug?

Lu Yin Ze bitterly smiled and walked away.

He was also a person with feelings. With such obvious dislike, his thin face could not bear to stay here any longer, so he retreated with heavy steps.

But he promised himself that he would talk to her later. Lu Yin Ze\'s pale hand was clenched. It really took him by surprise that Zhou Linfeng wasn\'t just a butler anymore. Linfeng had gained a status that could rival with him.

Lu Yin Ze\'s eyes went ablaze. He should not be slacking. He wouldn\'t allow that butler anymore to keep up with him. He should become more powerful and get Zhi\'er.

As Lu Yin Ze went away, Linfeng\'s dark eyes finally softened.

When Linfeng saw how obedient his girlfriend was acting, he smiled.

"Mr. Zhou Linfeng?" Mr. Finch asked again.

Linfeng looked at Mr. Finch.

"I apologize. As I was saying…"

While conversing, he noticed Xiong Zhi giving a cold look at the ladies near him. Unfortunately, the ladies did not notice it.

Linfeng could not help but smile again. Why was his girlfriend so cute?

His eyes could not help but drift towards her.

Mr. Finch was confused. The man in front of him suddenly smiled again. Because he was right in front of Zhou Linfeng, he could clearly see how those dark eyes shifted from calm and cool to gentle and warm.

If not for his instincts telling him that this young man definitely was a straight man, Mr. Finch would have doubted Zhou Linfeng\'s s.e.x.u.a.l orientation and think that he preferred older men.

Mr. Finch could not help but turn to look at the direction the young man would glance at once in a while. He saw an elegant and beautiful young woman, whose eyes were also darting in their direction.

Mr. Finch: …Oh, so it seems that I got in the way of a young couple\'s date.

Mr. Finch-fed-with-dog-food glanced back at the young man again.

So this Zhou Linfeng was in love? Ah, it\'s so good to be young…

The man met his eyes apologetically.

His eyes were sharp and clear once more, as if the gentle and laughing pair of eyes was only an imagination.

"I apologize for the distraction. This room is a bit crowded. Would you like to discuss further about the proposal you mentioned?"

Mr. Finch nodded and smiled.

"That would be great." Linfeng excused himself from the crowd and led Mr. Finch forward.

But constantly, on the way, his eyes would look towards the elegant woman.

Their eyes seemed to be talking.

Mr. Finch internally sighed again.

It\'s so good to be young, ah.
