The hall was furnished extravagantly.
The people gathered in groups of twos or threes and chatted casually.
Tang Hao strolled around the hall while holding a glass of wine. He felt quite bored and, in fact, quite awkward.
He wanted to be acquainted with more business owners, which was a good idea. After reaching there, he realized that everyone there knew each other and stuck in their cliques which had no room for him.
Meanwhile, Ling Rui was acting all high and mighty. Wherever he went, he was greeted by a shower of flattery.
Tai An Group was well known throughout Huaxia. Furthermore, Ling Wei was getting hitched with Young Master Song soon, and Ling Rui would be the brother-in-law. That would elevate his status to another level.
That was why everyone had to act courteously to Tai An.
Ling Rui went to talk to those people. After that, the people looked at Tang Hao with condescending gazes.
