Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

Chu Yu was wearing a smoky gray casual suit. The slim fit perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. The two buttons undone at the collar of his shirt added a touch of unruliness.

He leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, right hand on the armrest, left hand playing with his phone.

At this time, Mingxi's plane should have already taken off, Chu Yu was thinking when he heard Zhao Ruoying say.

"Xiao Bao, what do you think of this dress? Is this one better than the previous one?"

Chu Yu looked up at Zhao Ruoying in front of him. She was wearing a champagne-colored long dress. The slightly tight design outlined her graceful figure, but it did not make her look too sexy.

The earrings, necklace, and bracelet are all pearl jewelry from the same collection, giving the wearer an elegant and sophisticated look.

Chu Yu praised, "Every outfit is beautiful, but this one suits your skin tone better, so please choose this one."

Zhao Ruoying was naturally delighted to hear this, saying, "You're so good at making me happy. Let's choose this one then. I also think this one is better."

"I'm not kidding you, I'm telling you the truth."

"If only your dad were as good with words as you, sons are so considerate..."

As the mother and daughter were talking, Lin Zhenghong walked over. "Haven't you finished trying on the clothes yet? We should head out."

Zhao Ruoying glanced at him sideways, "All done? You're not even going to say a word of praise to me?"

When Lin Zhenghong started flattering him, he looked completely serious. "You look this good every day, do I really need to compliment you?"

"You're so glib, let's go." Zhao Ruoying said this, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Then she took Lin Zhenghong's arm and walked out. The three of them got into the car and headed to the party.

On the way, Lin Zhenghong said to Chu Yu, "Third brother, there are many leading figures from various industries in Beijing attending today's banquet. Many of them are my old friends and business partners. I'll introduce them to you. Young people should be more humble and learn from each other."

"Okay, Dad, I will learn more from my seniors."

"Hmm." Seeing his receptive expression, Lin Zhenghong felt even more gratified.

Today's reception, themed "Building a New Business Ecosystem," is being held at the Hua Kuo Hotel.

The main purpose is to exchange information and expand networks; many business collaborations are facilitated at similar parties.

A gorgeous red carpet was laid at the entrance of the venue, and exquisite flower columns and a registration table were placed on both sides.

Behind the registration desk was a large themed backdrop displaying the theme of the reception.

After signing in, the three were led into the venue by the ushers. The venue was decorated mainly in gold and champagne colors and had several different areas such as a communication area, an exhibition area, and a catering area, which was no different from a typical cocktail party.

Lin Zhenghong, along with Zhao Ruoying and Chu Yu, first greeted a few old friends with whom he had a close relationship, chatted for a while, and then sat quietly in their seats to listen to the person on stage speak.

After the host introduced the purpose of the event, Duan Haicheng, president of the Beijing Business Association and the main organizer of the reception, delivered a speech. Then, several entrepreneurs from different industries took the stage to give speeches.

The discussion revolved around the current state, development, and future trends of the industry and their own companies. Most of them were rising stars who were taking this opportunity to integrate into the circle.

The subsequent free networking session was the core of the party. Well-dressed men and women gathered in small groups or pairs to get to know each other, exchange business experiences, or discuss potential collaborative projects.

In such situations, married men usually bring their partners. Zhao Ruoying was also very familiar with the other ladies, so during the free exchange session, she joined them and chatted about topics that interested them.

Lin Zhenghong, on the other hand, took Chu Yu to network with influential executives from various industries and introduced him to connections.

"Chairman Zhao, it's been a long time! Brother Duan really has a lot of influence, managing to invite someone as busy as you to come." Lin Zhenghong greeted an old friend with a smile.

Zhao Feng was an unremarkable man, but he exuded a sharp and capable air. Seeing Lin Zhenghong, he spoke with a friendly tone, "Second Brother Lin, you're embarrassing me with those words. Chairman Zhao? What kind of relationship do we have?!"

Lin Zhenghong's smile deepened, and he casually put his arm around Chu Yu, "Let me introduce you, this is my son Chu Yu. He's recently started a small business, and he'll have to learn a lot from you, his senior, in the future."

"Third brother, this is Chairman Zhao Feng of Pioneer Technology, a big shot in the internet industry. Wanzhi Search is their product. You should call him Uncle Zhao."

Chu Yu nodded politely, "Hello, Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Feng sized Chu Yu up and down, then patted him on the shoulder. "Good lad, you're quite the handsome young man, just like your father was in his youth. What business are you in now?"

"It's not really a business, just a small business. We currently run a Western-style fast food restaurant called Burger King. All the dishes are made with our own secret recipes. Uncle Zhao, you should try it if you have the chance. You won't be disappointed."

Upon hearing the mention of Burger King, Zhao Feng's eyes widened, and he laughed heartily, saying, "You own Burger King? I've actually eaten there. My daughter Miaomiao asks for it every day, so the driver has to queue up to buy it every day."

"Oh, by the way, Miaomiao is my granddaughter. This is no small business; it has great potential." Although Zhao Feng had never been involved in the catering industry, he knew that taste was king. Even if the service and environment were terrible, as long as the food was good, Chinese consumers would buy it.

Chu Yu humbly replied, "I'm glad my little niece likes it. I also appreciate your kind words and hope that we can grow bigger and stronger in the future."

"Definitely no problem." After saying that, Zhao Feng turned to Lin Zhenghong and said, "Second Brother Lin, this kid is very capable. You are really lucky. All three of your children are outstanding talents. You can retire and enjoy your life."

"Haha, thank you for your kind words. Speaking of which, your Wencai is even more capable. He recently landed a big government contract, and even I, an outsider, have heard about it." The two began to flatter each other in a business manner.

Chu Yu mostly listened quietly, only interjecting when his name was mentioned.

Many people came over to say hello, including senior executives from investment groups, directors from resource recycling companies, and CEOs from the real estate industry.

It was also thanks to Chu Yu's good memory that he was able to remember so many people's industries, companies, names, and faces in such a short time.

After Lin Zhenghong finished his task as a father to help his son make connections, he let Chu Yu get to know more young people on his own, while he found a quiet corner to chat with some old friends.

Chu Yu's identity attracted many people who wanted to get to know him. He knew why he was there today, so he actively socialized with people.

Over the course of the night, we exchanged quite a few business cards, added many contact information, and chatted well with a few people I felt I could continue to develop a deeper relationship with.
