Amidst the laughter and conversation, An Yiqing gradually made the acquaintance of the people arriving at the event. Qiu Yiping, Lin Chengming, Qiao Chengchun, and many influential figures she had treated before came forward one after another to greet her.
It was not until then that everyone present clearly saw, for the first time, just how extensive the strength and connections of this orphaned girl really were!
…
While everyone was chatting and joking, some commotion could faintly be heard at the entrance of the hall. As people turned their heads in the direction of the noise, they wondered, who was arriving now?
"Hahaha! Xiao Qing, you little ungrateful thing! You haven't come to see your Grandpa Duan for so long!" A spry figure strode into the room, and his hearty laughter filled the entire hall.
