Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Changing Tables

Inside the Millennium Grand Hotel, the departure of Han Qian Jun and his wife did little to dampen the festive atmosphere of the engagement party.

Most of the Han Family’s guests today were old acquaintances and relatives of the family’s second son, along with the friends of the star of the show, Han Qianqian.

As for the eldest son, Han Qian Jun, he had been suppressed by the family for years and pushed out of the Han Corporation’s decision-making circle. As the saying goes, when a person leaves, the tea grows cold; he had very few true friends left.

Of course, the more distinguished guests at the event were those from the groom’s side.

The prestige and wealth of the Li Clan were such that not even ten Han Families could compare.

According to Su City custom, the bride’s family hosts the engagement party, making it a prime opportunity to display their family’s strength.

For this very reason, the Han Family’s matriarch had gone to great lengths to elevate the family’s prestige to a new level.

All the banquet tables were tiered by status.

At the front and center was the VIP section, separated by screens. The very front was for close relatives, while the tables further back were for more distant kin.

After Han Biwei entered with Niannian, she self-consciously looked for a seat in the back.

She wanted to call her parents, but her heart was uneasy. She was afraid of earning the scorn of her second uncle and cousin, leaving her with a mix of complicated feelings.

But before she could even sit down, the Han Family’s event coordinator appeared and said threateningly, ”Take the child and go to the last table in the very back. Han Biwei, you know your situation. Don’t make things difficult for us, and don’t disgrace your parents any further!”

Han Biwei’s eyes flickered. Clasping Niannian’s small hand, she said, ”In that case, I won’t attend. I only brought my daughter here to see our family!”

The Han Family member sneered, ”You’re leaving right after you arrived? Aren’t you going to give a gift?”

Han Biwei took out the red envelope she had prepared. The coordinator didn’t even glance at it. ”Alright, that little bit of money you have would be an embarrassment to even put out. Go to the last table, eat, and leave quickly. And look at this kid, drooling like that!”

Niannian’s little face flushed red with anger. ”Who says I’m drooling? You’re lying! Mommy, let’s just eat something quick and leave when Daddy gets here.”

Han Biwei sighed softly and led Niannian to the last table.

There was no one at this table, and even the fruit and pastries were not fully set out. This was mainly because it was next to the door, right by an outdoor air conditioning unit. The environment was absolutely terrible.

The noise was a constant HUM, and exhaust fumes billowed in.

Forget people, not even a dog kept outside the door would be willing to stay here.

Han Biwei managed to find a whole pastry and was about to give it to Niannian to tide her over.

Just then, Qin Tianxuan appeared behind them. Niannian, overjoyed, rushed into his arms.

Holding his daughter, Qin Tianxuan felt a warmth spread through his heart. But when he turned and saw the state of their table, his brow furrowed. ”The Han Family arranged this?”

Han Biwei hurried over and said softly, ”Don’t be angry. This is just how people are. You rushed all the way here, so just have a little something to eat for now. Later, we’ll take Niannian and go have a feast at KFC!”

She spoke as if she were his wife, and standing together, they had the feel of a long-married couple.

Seeing that Han Biwei was still holding the red envelope, Qin Tianxuan smiled faintly. ”You’ve already given the red envelope. We should at least eat something.”

Helpless, Han Biwei murmured a few more words of instruction before taking the red envelope to the gift table.

Qin Tianxuan, holding Niannian, pointed to the incredibly noisy air conditioning unit outside.

Beside him, Prince immediately went out, cut the power, and pulled the plug!

The air conditioner fell silent.

Qin Tianxuan surveyed their surroundings and said three words: ”Change our table!”

Without a word, Prince bowed to accept the order and turned to leave.

Qin Tianxuan stopped him. ”Be polite. No rough stuff. Our battlefield methods aren’t suitable for a place like this.”

Prince smiled. ”Rest assured, sir. If I can’t even handle this, then I’ve been following you all this time for nothing.”

He turned casually and pulled out his phone. ”This is Prince. Find out for me right now, what’s the name of the owner of the Millennium Grand Hotel?”

An agent from the God of Wealth Hall quickly reported back: ”The Millennium Grand Hotel belongs to the Millennium Hotels Group. The group has three main investment sources, all of which have been fully identified.”

”Tell their owner that the Dongshen Financial Group is acquiring the hotel at thirty times its market value. The transaction can be processed slowly, but right now, I want to take over the entire hotel within ten minutes!”

A business acquisition, even one where a whale swallows a shrimp, requires evaluation and time.

But! An acquisition at thirty times market value, backed by the Dongshen Financial Group—the number one financial group in the Jiangnan Region—these two factors alone made it impossible for the owner of the Millennium Group to refuse.

He wouldn’t dare refuse!

Instantly, an emergency management meeting was convened behind the scenes at the Millennium Hotel. The six managers under the hotel director immediately received their orders.

Under Prince’s direction, even the hotel’s security team was replaced with his own men.

The God of Wealth Hall took control of the entire scene with swift and decisive action, silent and seamless.

This was still their battlefield style, their methods of slaughter!

Meanwhile, Han Biwei had returned and was talking with Qin Tianxuan and Niannian.

Prince was now standing on the second floor, surveying the engagement party’s layout.

The table in the second row, center, within the plum-and-orchid-blossom screen, was the best in terms of ambiance, view, and decor.

Raising his hand, he summoned the Millennium’s general manager, vice president, and floor supervisor. Then, Prince descended the stairs and headed straight for the table.

Inside the screened-off area, several distinguished guests from the Li Clan were seated, looking arrogant.

Prince strode in with his men, his presence instantly overwhelming.

The seven people at the table looked up abruptly. ”What’s going on?”

”Everyone, you have five minutes to vacate this area immediately. This table is being reset! I don’t have much time, so please cooperate!”

Prince’s single sentence made the people at the table explode.
