Upon hearing Su Yingxue's clearly displeased rebuke, Ye Heng's initial goodwill vanished instantly.

Looking at Su Yingxue's slightly furrowed brows and her averted gaze, an indescribable disappointment welled up inside him.

I didn't do anything wrong, so why did I become the trouble she mentioned?

He couldn't help but think that Su Yingxue had never accepted him from the beginning, and the so-called marriage agreement was just due to pressure from the old man Su Changhong.

If that's the case, why should I insist on playing the role of this fiancé?

Ultimately, his decision to stay with the Su family and agree to the marriage was primarily to put his grandfather, Su Changhong, who had been kind to him and treated him sincerely, at ease.

Thinking of this, Ye Heng's inner turmoil completely subsided, and he even felt somewhat bored.

He didn't defend himself, but simply gave a faint "hmm" and left alone.

Only Su Yingxue remained, still furious.

"Where are you going?"

Su Yingxue called out as she watched Ye Heng's retreating figure, noticing a subtle change in his emotions.

She couldn't help but feel a little regretful; she shouldn't have lost her temper with him.

Ye Heng came to the Su family and not only saved himself, but also recovered the debt, which can be described as a great achievement.

Although this project is indeed very important, and so much effort has been put into it.

But perhaps she should try a different approach to communicating with Ye Heng.

Inside the hall, glasses clinked and toasts were exchanged.

Ye Heng found an inconspicuous corner sofa and sat down.

He casually picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, his gaze lingering calmly on the figures in the center of the room, chatting and exchanging pleasantries.

Not long after, Su Yingxue returned to the hall.

Wei Ning, who had just been talking to Su Yingxue, had disappeared.

Just then, a slight commotion arose at the entrance of the banquet hall. Chu Wei, the patriarch of the Chu family, another major business tycoon in Jinling, walked in with several people.

Chu Wei's arrival immediately attracted a lot of attention in the room.

As one of the strongest competitors to the Tianhai Group project, the Chu family's moves have attracted much attention. However, what happened next surprised many people.

Instead of heading straight for the core area where the senior executives of Tianhai Group were located, Chu Wei glanced around the crowd for a moment before walking directly towards Su Yingxue.

His attitude was completely different from before; he even had an almost polite smile on his face.

"Good evening, Mr. Su," Chu Wei said, speaking in a warm tone.

Su Yingxue was surprised, but maintained a polite smile: "President Chu, good evening. I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

"Of course, today is a big day." Chu Wei smiled, then changed the subject and said something surprising.

"Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated President Su yet. It seems that the Tianhai project is definitely going to be awarded to the Su family. I wish President Su every success."

Upon hearing this, not only Su Yingxue, but even Su Wangchuan, who had just come over, was stunned, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Could it be that this old fox already knows about his collaboration with Tianhai Group?

That's impossible; he thought he had done it very discreetly.

Su Yingxue frowned even more.

The Chu family has always been the most troublesome opponent in this project. What does Chu Wei mean by this? Is he being sarcastic, or does he have a deeper meaning?

She composed herself and cautiously replied, "President Chu is joking. The final decision on who gets the project rests with Tianhai Group. We at Su's are just doing our best and dare not offer our congratulations lightly."

Chu Wei waved his hand, his smile unchanged. He lowered his voice and said to Su Yingxue:

"President Su, there's no need to be so modest. Our Chu family... has already decided to withdraw from the final competition for this project."

"Withdraw?!" Su Yingxue was truly shocked; she almost thought she had misheard.

The Chu family invested heavily in this project and were determined to win it in the early stages, so why did they suddenly give up at the last minute?

"Yes, withdraw." Chu Wei nodded firmly, and looking at Su Yingxue's surprised and uncertain expression, he added meaningfully.

"The reason... is quite simple. The Su family is fortunate to have powerful figures backing them. As for this project, our Chu family won't get involved; it's also a way to... build good relationships."

After saying this, Chu Wei exchanged a few more polite words, then turned and led his men away.

Su Yingxue subconsciously looked in the direction of Chu Wei's secret glance and her gaze fell on Ye Heng, who was sitting alone in the corner.

An absurd yet persistent thought suddenly crashed into her mind: Could the "big shot" Chu Wei mentioned be him?

She quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea from her mind.

Ye Heng is indeed quite capable, but he could not possibly be the "big shot" in Jinling that even the Chu family dared not offend.

As time passed and all the guests took their places, Wei Ning slowly walked up to the podium in the center of the banquet hall.

As the host, he welcomed the guests in a calm yet enthusiastic tone, briefly introduced the theme of tonight's banquet, and thanked Tianhai Group and its partners for their long-term support.

After a lighthearted opening, he abruptly changed the subject, his expression becoming serious as he said:

"As everyone knows, our Tianhai Group has been carefully searching for the most suitable partner for the key project we have been promoting recently."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone tensed up, especially Su Yingxue.

Although the Chu family has just made it clear that they are withdrawing from the competition, what if they do?

What if it's just a feint?

Ye Heng, sitting alone on the sofa, calmly watched this scene, knowing the answer in his heart.

Wei Ning scanned the entire room and, without any warning or business negotiations, announced the result directly:

"After extensive evaluation and consideration, I hereby officially announce that the final partner for this project has been selected as the Su Group!"

Wei Ning added, "This choice is not only based on the group's overall strength, but also on Mr. Su Wangchuan's outstanding capabilities in business development and execution. I believe his professional expertise will bring remarkable results to the project."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room erupted in enthusiastic applause, and many people cast congratulatory glances toward the Su Group's seats.

Meanwhile, many people were whispering among themselves.

"The Su family has found a fine adopted son!"

"That's right, at such a young age, he secured a 500 million yuan order for the group!"

"Sigh, if only my son were that promising!"

All eyes were on Su Wangchuan, whose smile was impossible to hide. At this moment, he felt like the protagonist of the world!

Su Yingxue was still somewhat stunned when she heard the announcement.

During this period, everyone in the company worked hard for this order, and even prepared for a long-term negotiation. Unexpectedly, it was settled so smoothly.

Overjoyed, she recalled Chu Wei's words and Wei Ning's special praise, and couldn't help but turn to Su Wangchuan beside her and whisper a question:

"Did you find some powerful backer for this project? Or did some influential figure intervene to force the Chu family to withdraw from the competition?"

Su Wangchuan was also unaware of the reason behind it, and his heart was filled with doubts as well.

This is completely contrary to his previous plan with Wei Ning.

But at this moment, feeling the spotlight and looking at Su Yingxue, who was dressed up and looked exceptionally beautiful under the lights, he suddenly didn't want to disappoint her, nor did he want to delve into where this sudden good fortune came from.

So he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and did not deny it.

"Of course, all of this is for the Su family, and for you."
