Chapter 20 - The Center of Attention!

“Mr.

Zhou, it’s not just one matter; even if it were a hundred, our Zhao Family would certainly not shy away,” Zhao Heng said without any hesitation.

“It’s about the provincial city’s Subway Line 10 project,” Zhou Yu got straight to the point, “do you guys know about it?”

Zhao Heng immediately responded:

“Of course.

This project is managed by our Zhao Family.

Why?

Mr.

Zhou, are you interested in this project?”

Zhou Yu had not expected the project to be managed by the Zhao Family.

Luck was indeed on his side.

Zhou Yu spoke, “It’s not me who’s interested, but the Lin Corporation.

I’m currently staying with the Lin Family, and old Mr.

Lin Chaodong has been very good to me.”

Zhao Heng quickly said:

“No problem, I’ll arrange it right away to hand over the project to Lin Corporation.”

The dream project of the Lin Family was secured by Zhao Heng in just a sentence.

This was the strength of the Zhao Family.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, “Then thank you very much.”

“Haha, it’s a small matter, Mr.

Zhou, please don’t be polite,” Zhao Heng quickly waved his hand.

Subsequently, he turned to Zhao Jianfeng.

“Oh right, father, today our family is hosting a family banquet, and we’ve invited some guests who all wish to meet you.

I initially had no plans to arrange a meeting, but what do you think now?”

Zhao Jianfeng chuckled.

“Let’s meet them then.”

“Divine Doctor Li.

Young friend Zhou, how about you both join me in stepping out?”

Li De’an, of course, had no objections.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said:

“I have no objections, but regarding the treatment, I hope you won’t spread the word.”

“Huh?

Why not?”

Zhao Jianfeng was greatly puzzled.

The reason he wanted Li De’an and Zhou Yu to accompany him was partly to thank Zhou Yu and also to introduce Zhou Yu to everyone.

It was known that those who could come here were either rich or noble.

If these people knew of Zhou Yu’s medical skills, his name as a Divine Doctor would spread all over Yancheng, possibly even the provincial city.

Such recognition was what many dreamed of.

Zhou Yu chuckled and said:

“It’s nothing, I just prefer solitude.”

In reality, Zhou Yu did not want to attract too much attention.

He needed to keep a low profile while waiting for those six traitors to reveal themselves.

If he became famous, and the traitors discovered it, they might hide, which would complicate matters.

Zhao Jianfeng did not insist.

“Alright then.”

At the same time, on the lawn outside, a crowd of guests was anxiously waiting.

Then, Zhao Heng came out.

He was beaming.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize, this banquet was supposed to start two hours ago, but my father was just receiving treatment from a Divine Doctor, hence the delay, and I thank you all for waiting,”

Hearing Zhao Heng’s explanation, everyone suddenly realized and said:

“It’s alright, the old master’s health is most important.”

“Yes, if there’s anything we can help with, Mr.

Zhao, just say the word, and we will do our utmost.”

“Right right!”

The crowd responded enthusiastically.

“Mr.

Zhao, may I ask how the old master is now?”

Zhao Heng smiled and said:

“Thanks to everyone’s good wishes, my father’s condition has greatly improved.

He misses everyone greatly and wishes to come out and say a few words to you all.”

“Really!!!”

“That’s wonderful!!!”

A crowd of guests cheered and leapt for joy.

Tonight, who wouldn’t want to see Mr.

Zhao Jianfeng.

Originally, they had not held much hope, but now that they heard Mr.

Zhao was attending, their excitement knew no bounds.

Lin Chaodong was also thrilled.

“That’s wonderful, I was worried we wouldn’t see Mr.

Zhao, but now it’s settled.”

“Wanhao, Luoluo, be clever and find a chance for us to toast with Mr.

Zhao,”

“Sure, granddad.”

“Dad, I understand.”

Just then, behind Zhao Heng, Mr.

Zhao appeared.

The crowd of guests immediately burst into cheers, greeting him warmly.

Lin Chaodong and others also wanted to greet him, but just then, they saw a young man behind Zhao Jianfeng.

“I…

am I seeing correctly, is that…

Zhou Yu?”

Lin Wanhao was stunned.

In the full view of everyone, Zhao Jianfeng and Li De’an slowly walked towards the center of the venue, followed by Zhou Yu and a pure and beautiful young woman side by side.

This scene, in the eyes of other guests, looked so harmonious and natural.

But in the eyes of the Lin Family, it was incredibly shocking.

How could Zhou Yu appear here?

And walking alongside such a significant figure as Zhao Jianfeng?

At that moment, Zhou Yu’s eyes twitched, and he thought to himself.

“I was careless!”

He had never attended a banquet and hadn’t expected that coming out with Zhao Jianfeng would attract such significant attention.

If he had known, he would not have agreed to Zhao Jianfeng’s request.

But fortunately, he had briefed Zhao Jianfeng in advance.

Zhao Jianfeng smiled widely.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen everyone.

In recent years, I haven’t been well and had kept to myself.

Being able to gather with all of you today, I sincerely feel happy…”

Zhao Jianfeng’s speech sparked waves of warm applause from the crowd.

After Zhao Jianfeng finished speaking, he raised a glass of wine.

“Divine Doctor Li, young friend Zhou, I toast to you both.”

In front of everyone, the three of them drank a glass each.

Seeing this scene, many people were immediately surprised.

Li De’an needs no introduction; everyone in Yancheng knows him.

Who is this young man?

Why does Mr.

Zhao Jianfeng deem him worthy of a toast?

Everyone speculated.

The Lin Family was frantic.

They wished they could rush up immediately and ask Zhou Yu what was going on?

Why was he here?

Why would Zhao Jianfeng toast to him?

In the anxious wait of the Lin Family, the banquet officially began.

The crowd of guests crowded forward, eager to toast with Zhao Jianfeng first.

The Lin Family also desperately pushed through.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu’s phone suddenly rang.

Zhou Yu answered the call, and from the phone came Wang Miao’s voice, filled with sobs.

“Brother Yu, come save us, we’re surrounded.”

“The other party specifically wants to see you, saying if you don’t arrive in half an hour, they’ll take off one leg from each of us.”
