A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

The two went downstairs together, where the driver had already prepared the car.

However, when they arrived at the underground parking garage, Ye Heng discovered that someone was already standing next to another car—it was Su Wangchuan.

Su Wangchuan was also dressed in an expensive custom-made suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he had his usual gentle and refined smile on his face.

His eyes were fixed on Su Yingxue, deeply attracted by her beauty.

But when he saw Ye Heng walking side by side with Su Yingxue, equally dressed and with an outstanding demeanor, his smile froze almost imperceptibly for a moment, and a trace of sinister malice and jealousy flashed deep in his eyes.

Ye Heng's presence, especially now that he was standing with Su Yingxue, felt like a thorn in his heart.

This guy who suddenly appeared has not only repeatedly ruined his plans, but now seems to be getting more and more deeply embedded in Su Yingxue's life, even accompanying her to public events like this.

"Yingxue, Yeheng, are you ready?" Su Wangchuan quickly adjusted his expression and took two steps forward to greet them.

"Ye Heng looks quite dashing in this outfit; I almost didn't recognize him."

Ye Heng met Su Wangchuan's gaze.

He sneered inwardly, wanting to see what kind of trouble Su Wangchuan would cause tonight.

He gave a forced smile: "Vice President Su, you flatter me. I can't compare to Vice President Su, who is always so well-prepared."

Su Wangchuan's smile remained unchanged: "It's all for the company, so naturally I must do my best. Yingxue, the car is ready, shall we set off? Let's not keep Tianhai waiting."

He turned the conversation to Su Yingxue, his tone intimate and natural, as if the brief eye contact with Ye Heng just now was merely a casual greeting.

Su Yingxue was unaware of the silent tension between the two, or rather, her attention was more focused on the upcoming banquet.

She nodded, then looked at Ye Heng again, and whispered seriously, "Remember, tonight everything revolves around the project. Observe and listen carefully, and be cautious in your words and actions."

"Don't worry," Ye Heng replied briefly.

Su Wangchuan maintained his composure and stepped aside to lead the way: "Then let's set off. Yingxue, would you like to ride in my car? We can double-check some of the final data for tonight's bidding on the way."

After a moment's thought, considering the official business, Su Yingxue nodded: "Alright."

She looked at Ye Heng and said, "Ye Heng, you sit in the car behind."

Ye Heng shrugged indifferently and walked towards the car that the driver had brought.

The vehicle set off and quickly reached its destination.

When the group stepped into the brightly lit banquet hall, it was already filled with elegantly dressed business luminaries.

Su Wangchuan led the way, while Su Yingxue maintained her usual composed demeanor.

Before long, their eyes met those of Wei Ning on the other side of the banquet hall.

Wei Ning, the young master of Tianhai Group, saw them, especially Ye Heng, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. He then took out his wine glass and took the initiative to greet them.

"President Su, Vice President Su, it's an honor to have you here! I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly!" Wei Ning walked straight up to Su Yingxue and raised his wine glass.

"The Su Group is currently enjoying great success, so I must toast President Su with this glass."

Su Yingxue politely raised her glass in response, feeling genuinely pleased by this gesture of goodwill.

As the host of this key project, Tianhai Group's softened stance is undoubtedly a positive sign.

"Young Master Wei, you're too kind. We naturally want to participate in Tianhai Group's grand event."

Wei Ning's smile deepened. After clinking glasses with Su Yingxue, his gaze seemingly casually swept over Ye Heng beside her. He deliberately slowed his tone and said meaningfully:

"Mr. Su, you're too kind. However... the business world is like a battlefield, and the ability to recognize and employ talent is of utmost importance."

"With such a young and promising CEO as Mr. Su, it is even more important to have some capable and reliable people around him. We must not let some people who are all show and no substance and only know how to cause trouble blind us, delay our important business, or even... make enemies for no reason."

This veiled satire was aimed directly at Ye Heng.

The gazes of several people nearby in the hall drifted over, seemingly casually.

Su Yingxue followed Wei Ning's gaze and saw Ye Heng. She wondered why Wei Ning would make sarcastic remarks about Ye Heng.

Ye Heng, however, stared directly at Wei Ning with eyes as sharp as knives: "Young Master Wei's words are interesting. It seems you have a good grasp of the meaning of 'capable and reliable'?"

"However, as far as I know, some people whose own feet are dirty naturally perceive others as covered in mud."

"Ye Heng!" Su Yingxue scolded in a low voice, her face already darkening.

She hadn't expected that Ye Heng seemed to have a grudge against Wei Ning; she shouldn't have brought him along!

The order that the Su family has been preparing for so long cannot be ruined by Ye Heng.

Wei Ning's fake smile instantly vanished: "Ye Heng! Who do you think you are, daring to spout nonsense here? You're just a lackey who rose to power by luck. Do you really think you're someone important just because you've entered this banquet hall?"

Ye Heng chuckled lightly, but his tone was even colder: "Who I am is none of Wei Shao's business. As for Wei Shao, it seems the lesson from last time didn't teach you how to speak properly. What, want to relive it again today?"

The surrounding conversations quieted down, and many people noticed the conflict.

Su Yingxue was so angry that her fingertips turned cold.

Her eyes were filled with disappointment and anger as she looked at Ye Heng.

Although Wei Ning's sarcasm was harsh, it could have been defused tactfully to maintain a semblance of peace, since Tianhai Group's attitude was of paramount importance.

Ye Heng's relentless and even insulting counterattack completely blocked any possible room for maneuver, effectively slapping Wei Ning and Tianhai Group in the face in public!

It was as if all the hard work of the Su family, which had a maximum capacity of one hundred people, was about to go down the drain.

"Enough!" Su Yingxue forcibly suppressed her anger and apologized to Wei Ning, whose face was ashen.

"Young Master Wei, I apologize. It was my man who misspoke. He's young and impetuous; please don't take offense."

She then turned to Ye Heng, her voice low but firm, "Ye Heng, you come with me right now!"

She didn't even notice Su Wangchuan.

The latter stood a step behind, his face showing just the right amount of surprise and worry, but a hint of barely perceptible pleasure flashed deep in his eyes.

Ye Heng glanced at Wei Ning's hateful eyes and Su Wangchuan's well-concealed expression, twitched the corner of his mouth, and followed Su Yingxue.

After getting away from the crowd, Su Yingxue stopped and turned to face Ye Heng, her beautiful face covered with a layer of frost:

"Ye Heng! What did I tell you? Prioritize the project, be careful with your words and actions! Did you just ignore it all? Wei Ning's words may be unpleasant to hear, but couldn't you at least put up with them?"

"Do you know what your actions just now will make the Su family appear in the eyes of the Tianhai Group? We could very well lose the chance to compete for this project entirely because of it! You're not helping me; you're making enemies for me and ruining the Su family's efforts!"

Her chest heaved slightly, clearly indicating that she was furious.

The glimmer of hope that Wei Ning had given them by offering a toast had been completely extinguished by Ye Heng's reckless words and actions.
