The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 12 A high society banquet?
"Ashiba, Yongzhi, you are calling so early in the morning to disturb others' rest. If you don't have a legitimate reason, I will beat you up!"

The caller was Jang Jun-bong's (predecessor) good friend - Kim Young-ji! As the second generation of a business family in Myeong-dong, Seoul, Kim Young-ji and Jang Jun-bong met in a bar and found that they had similar tastes. They both disliked the family business and were keen on doing something trendy. In addition, they also had a common hobby - picking up girls!
Jin Yongzhi didn't care about Zhang Junfeng's threat at all, and continued, "Brother Junfeng, I opened a high-end bar in Gangnam District, Seoul this year. There are many female celebrities and beautiful female college students who come here to play. Do you want to come and take a look?!"

Hearing Jin Yongzhi's words, Zhang Junfeng swallowed the curse words that he was about to blurt out, and accepted the other party's invitation with a smile. Being used to seeing foreign girls with blonde and brown hair abroad, it is naturally great to have the opportunity to see those female stars born in the 70s and 80s in China!

But Jin Yongzhi, who I haven't seen for a while, has become a bit famous! He opened a high-end bar in Gangnam District, where rich people gather, and was able to attract many female stars and college students. The customer base was defined very carefully!
……

However, when Zhang Junfeng packed up and prepared to go to the bar in Jiangnan District in the afternoon, he was blocked by Li Fuzhen at the door, "My father called just now, come with me to attend a charity party later!"

Zhang Junfeng frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction, "But I have already made an appointment with someone and will go to Jiangnan District later..."

Seeing Zhang Junfeng's objection, Li Fuzhen raised her pretty face and said arrogantly, "What buts? Don't forget the contract I signed with you! All your time now belongs to me!"

"If you don't want to, then the previous contract will be invalid and you have to return the money to me~!"

"..." Zhang Junfeng didn't expect this woman to do this. She wanted him to give back the money he had earned? How could this be possible!

……

Seeing Zhang Junfeng, who looked unwilling but had to follow her arrangement and go to the banquet with her, Li Fuzhen smiled happily! She had suffered too much at the hands of Zhang Junfeng in the past few days, and finally managed to win back a game. She finally regained the "happiness" of controlling the opponent before!
More than forty minutes later, Li Fuzhen and Zhang Junfeng, dressed up in purple evening gowns, arrived at the banquet venue.

This banquet was a charity party held by several large companies in Goryeo in response to the call from the Blue House. The main hope was to raise funds through this party for the expansion of a university in Seoul.

As it was the first time for Zhang Junfeng to attend such an evening party in Goryeo, he seemed quite curious. In his previous life, many people envied the happiness of the Goryeo chaebols, and he didn't know if there would be the "projects" that he was looking forward to at this kind of evening party!
"But since it's officially organized, I think this party should be more "serious", right?" Just as Zhang Junfeng was thinking about it, several young men in expensive suits came up to them. Seeing Li Fuzhen holding the arm of a strange man, one of them glanced at the "big brother" who was leading the group and suddenly started to mock them!
"Hey, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Five Star Li family? The person next to her... looks so strange? Could it be that he is a gigolo you hired from somewhere?"

As he finished speaking, the people in his group burst into laughter, without paying any attention to Li Fuzhen and the Five-Star Li Family behind him.

Li Fuzhen was also very angry with these guys, but the leader was the mortal enemy of the Five Star Group - Zheng Mengzhun, the sixth son of the Zheng family of the Hyundai Group! As for the man who spoke, he was the descendant of a president of a branch company under the Hyundai Group!

Zhang Junfeng was very calm about this. This kind of face-to-face trick seemed very simple and crude to him who had been in the American social circle for many years, and there was not much technical content. "I am Zhang Junfeng, from Myeongdong, Seoul! I heard that Hyundai Group has many new projects recently and is applying for loans from banks. If the bank refuses to provide loans, you may want to come to Myeongdong to try, as long as you can provide equivalent collateral!" Zhang Junfeng, who was introducing himself, smiled brightly!

When Zheng Mengzhun heard Zhang Junfeng's somewhat "connotative" answer, his face suddenly turned dark! This bastard in front of him was really good at talking!
He actually cursed that Hyundai Group couldn't get a loan from the bank? What a joke! Everyone knows that Hyundai Group is the top enterprise in Korea. Which bank would leave the money lying around and block their loan? !

Just when Zheng Mengzhun was about to open his mouth to retort, the young man next to him hurriedly pulled the other party's sleeve at an angle where no one else was paying attention, and whispered a few words in Zheng Mengyi's ear, explaining to him some recent developments of the group and the bank.

After a while, Zheng Mengzhun suppressed his anger and looked at Zhang Junfeng who was calm and composed. He said in a very unfriendly tone, "Myeongdong Zhang family, right? I'll remember! I will definitely visit you someday!"

……

Watching Zheng Mengzhong and others leave, Li Fuzhen smiled. As two of Goryeo's top companies, the Five Star Group and the Hyundai Group have similar businesses in many fields and the competition between them is quite fierce. However, today, Zheng Mengyi, who has always been arrogant, did not lose his temper after being "teased" by Zhang Junfeng. This is really strange!
"Hey, I didn't realize that your Zhang family's name is quite useful!" Li Fuzhen teased with a smile.

Zhang Junfeng said calmly, "It's not that our Zhang family's name is useful, but the Hyundai Group must have encountered financial problems!"

"…So, their loan application from the bank was not approved, so they are considering applying to Myeongdong…"

Before Li Fuzhen could finish her words, Zhang Junfeng smiled and walked towards the conference hall.

"This bad guy... is so annoying!" Li Fuzhen stomped her feet in anger, but quickly followed him.

Seeing that his daughter Li Fuzhen and future son-in-law Zhang Junfeng had appeared, Li Jianxi quickly asked his son Li Zairong to greet them.

"At this charity gala, donations are secondary. You should pay more attention. There will be many big shots coming, and the heads of big companies will also be there..."

After hearing his father Li Jianxi explain the party to them, Li Fuzhen, who was holding Zhang Junfeng's arm, said as if presenting a treasure, "Dad, we just ran into the Zheng family of Hyundai Group at the entrance of the hall!"
