A group of people entered through the revolving door of the hotel, led by Wang Yonghui, who was chatting and laughing with those beside him. Surrounded by attendees, Wang Yonghui smiled and greeted the incoming guests with the demeanor of an industry leader.
Seeing him approach, Murong Feng suddenly felt a sense of disorientation. This figure overlapped with the one he saw at the bar entrance by Shichahai—the same person who had ruined his previous life.
But even without him, would Zhao Nian still have left him for someone else? Murong Feng didn't know.
If it hadn't been for him causing Zhao Nian's departure, would Murong Feng have bought that lottery ticket, which he had never paid attention to before, in a moment of despair, thereby changing his lifes trajectory?
The causal relationship was unclear and hard to calculate...
Wang Yonghui also noticed Murong Feng. His expression changed slightly, and he hesitated before walking towards Murong Feng, but then stopped and continued towards the conference center. Both men knew they had nothing to say to each other.
Since their last meeting, after William's words, Wang Yonghui had been somewhat wary of Murong Feng and had someone investigate his background.
From the information, Wang Yonghui learned that besides starring in the wildly popular show "Striving Youth," Murong Feng had invested in Huayou Films and owned a rapidly rising wireless entertainment company. He also had close ties with the second-generation rich kids in Beijing and Hong Kong. While surprised at how this poor kid suddenly made his fortune, Wang Yonghui was also relieved. At least for now, Murong Feng did not pose a threat to him.
Wang Yonghui didn't share this information with Zhao Nian, whom he genuinely liked. He also noticed that Zhao Nian still had feelings for Murong Feng. After their last meeting, Zhao Nian had been moody for several days, causing him both pain and anger.
Did Murong Feng still intend to win Zhao Nian back? This thought often crossed Wang Yonghui's mind. After all, Zhao Nian was with him only after completely losing hope in Murong Feng. And now, Murong Feng was successful in his career. If Zhao Nian still had feelings for him, it would be troublesome.
A few days ago, while reviewing contracts, Wang Yonghui noticed a collaboration agreement with Fengxing Company. Because of this, he rejected it. While he couldn't hinder Murong Feng in other ways, at least he could prevent him from gaining strength through a partnership with Moto.
While he pondered, he noticed a few people approaching. Seeing one of them, Wang Yonghui's face lit up with a smile. He stepped forward and greeted, "Mr. Li! Hello, hello! It's rare to see you at the conference." He was addressing Li Xiangnan, accompanied by Wang Xiyuan and other staff from Huaxia's Beijing office. The presence of this third-ranking figure in Huaxia Group, known as a technical genius, indicated the importance Huaxia Group placed on the conference.
Li Xiangnan and Wang Yonghui, both top figures in the telecommunications industry, had interacted before. However, the Moto mobile phone division that Wang Yonghui was in charge of was in competition with another business group of Huaxia Group, the phone company, but he was not in direct competition with Li Xiangnan, so they mostly exchanged pleasantries and chatted when they met.
Li Xiangnan's meteoric rise was not entirely compatible with the seasoned Wang Yonghui. Smiling politely, he exchanged a few words before scanning the hall and spotting Murong Feng. Excusing himself, he prepared to leave. Wang Yonghui suggested, "Let's enter the venue together. It's almost time."
Li Xiangnan smiled, "I need to find a colleague first. You go ahead." He nodded politely and left. Murong Feng, seeing him, stood up and approached. Li Xiangnan smiled, "You're right on time. We should head in now." Someone nearby handed Murong Feng a blue conference badge and a folder with related materials.
Watching Huaxia Group staff ushering Li Xiangnan and Murong Feng into the conference hall, Wang Yonghui was taken aback: since when did Murong Feng become so familiar with Li Xiangnan?
Without delving into Wang Yonghui's thoughts about the connection between Murong Feng and Huaxia Group, the communication summit forum began with a speech from a vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, officially kicking off the first day's agenda.
The forum would discuss topics including LTE (Long-Term Evolution), the 3G evolution project, IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), and various other cutting-edge communication technologies. As the forum proceeded, the depth and breadth of the discussions were evident, highlighting the industry's rapid advancements and future directions.
Meanwhile, at the Wangfujing Oriental Plaza office of Moto, Zhao Nian often enjoyed shopping at the Oriental Plaza Shopping Mall after work with her close colleagues. Today, knowing that Wang Yonghui would be attending a global summit, she didn't expect to see him in the evening. Enthusiastically planning the evening's activities with her stylish friends, she received a call from Wang Yonghui.
"Zhao Nian, where are you? If you're free tonight, let's have dinner together." Wang Yonghui's voice was always gentle and refined, a trait Zhao Nian admired. Perhaps it was because Murong Feng's gentle and indifferent nature had a lasting influence on her.
"Yonghui, aren't you attending a summit today?" Zhao Nian felt a sense of pride as her colleagues looked on enviously; her boyfriend's status indeed gave her a lot of face.
"Yes, but nothing much is happening today. I got out early. How about dinner at Wutong? You love the atmosphere there."
"Sure! Come pick me up. I'm shopping at Xintiandi." Zhao Nian responded happily.
Wang Yonghui took off his Bluetooth earpiece and placed it in the storage compartment beside the dashboard, his expression turning somber.
