My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1784: Celebration Banquet

"Tsk!"

"Making money is really easy. Who would’ve thought a single game would earn me ten million."

Xiao Zheng flicked the check in his hand, looking at the long string of zeros, he felt incredibly happy.

Indeed, in this world, the most enticing things are money and beautiful women.

Seeing Xiao Zheng’s money-hungry expression, Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran stood beside him, blushing and couldn’t help but laugh. Xiao Zheng didn’t mind, and with a grin, he tucked the check away close to his body.

Although ten million felt like just 1,000 yuan to him now, as long as it was money, he loved it.

With both the bet and the game concluded, the three were about to head back to Wan Country Manor.

However, just then, Coach Ma brought all the Zhonghai Team players over to them.

"Mr. Xiao, we owe our victory in today’s game to you." Coach Ma excitedly stepped forward, tightly shaking one of Xiao Zheng’s hands.

He no longer dared to refer to Xiao Zheng as a little brother, respectfully calling him Mr. Xiao at every turn.

As for Sun Wei and the others, they all had faces full of admiration.

It was as if they regarded Xiao Zheng as a god, their savior.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and laughed, "Coach Ma, you can’t say it that way, I just lent a little help. The real win was thanks to every player who fought hard on the field."

"Haha, no matter what, you played a part in our victory!" Coach Ma was very happy and then said, "By the way, Mr. Xiao. We’re holding a celebration banquet tonight, if the three of you are free, I’d like to invite you to join, would that be alright?"

Celebration banquet?

Xiao Zheng subconsciously looked at Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, meaning he wanted them to decide.

After all, this trip was mainly to accompany the two of them on a relaxing tour.

Seeing this, Leng Ruobing said, "I have no objections."

"Since cousin has no objections, neither do I," Chu Xiaoran said, "Anyway, we have nothing planned for the evening, let’s just join Coach Ma for a meal."

Seeing the three agree to attend the celebration banquet, Coach Ma and the others couldn’t help but show genuine joy on their faces.

Xiao Zheng then asked, "Coach Ma, where is the celebration banquet being held tonight?"

"It’s at Wan Country Manor, officially starting at seven tonight. If you don’t know the place, I can give you the address now," Coach Ma said.

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately showed strange expressions.

Because they were staying at Wan Country Manor.

"Coach Ma, no need for the address, we know where Wan Country Manor is," Xiao Zheng replied, "Then it’s settled, we’ll be there on time at seven."

They chatted a bit more before taking their leave.

After leaving the sports arena, Xiao Zheng drove the two women straight back to Wan Country Manor. By the time they returned, it was already past five in the afternoon, leaving them just over an hour until the banquet began.

Since they were attending a banquet, Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran dressed up meticulously.

Even Xiao Zheng was compelled by them to wear formal attire.

As night fell, Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran each took one of Xiao Zheng’s arms and gracefully entered the banquet hall. The combination of the handsome man and beautiful women immediately attracted many onlookers.

"Mr. Xiao! You finally came!"

Coach Ma, holding a glass of champagne, quickly emerged from the crowd to greet them.

Xiao Zheng was touched by his enthusiasm, then smiled and said, "Coach Ma, you’re the star of the night, we can find a place to sit and eat, no need to worry about us, go handle your duties."

Though Coach Ma wished to chat more with Xiao Zheng, he knew he couldn’t ignore the other guests.

After all, as the head coach of the Zhonghai Team, he was half the host of the celebration banquet.

After reminding Xiao Zheng and the others to enjoy themselves, Coach Ma took his leave.

As for Xiao Zheng and the two women, they entered the banquet hall and began looking for delectable foods. However, just then, Chu Xiaoran suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on a spot, her face showing a sudden hint of disgust.

"What’s wrong?"

Xiao Zheng noticed her odd behavior and quickly asked.

"I just saw Shi Yihang, I didn’t expect that scumbag to attend the Zhonghai Team’s celebration banquet too," Chu Xiaoran said angrily, gritting her teeth.

Xiao Zheng followed her line of sight and indeed saw Shi Yihang standing in the crowd, talking to someone.

Beside Shi Yihang, he also noticed an acquaintance from yesterday at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea—Young Master You, the guy bragging to Xiao Zheng.

"What a small world, bumping into those two here," Xiao Zheng thought with some amusement.

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruobing gently reminded in a low voice, "Stay calm, don’t forget we’re here for the Zhonghai Team’s celebration. If you cause a scene in the hall, it’ll be awkward for Coach Ma."

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t start any trouble," Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "As long as they don’t provoke me, I won’t seek trouble with them."

Leng Ruobing nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Still a bit uneasy, she led Xiao Zheng and Chu Xiaoran to deliberately avoid Shi Yihang and Young Master You.

But sometimes, trouble finds you.

Shi Yihang and Young Master You wandered aimlessly in the hall, when suddenly, Young Master You furrowed his brows and pointed in a direction asking, "Shi Yihang, is that the guy who hit me last night?"

Shi Yihang followed his finger, and awkwardly said, "Yes, that’s him. The two women beside him, I know them both; one is my fiancée’s best friend, the other her cousin."

"Ha, truly a small world!" Young Master You sneered, "Didn’t think I’d run into that guy here! Now I can finally get even for yesterday!"

Hearing this, Shi Yihang felt a jolt and asked, "Young Master You, you wouldn’t be thinking of causing a scene in the banquet hall, would you? Blowing things up benefits no one..."

Before he could finish, Young Master You glared at him and said, "What are you afraid of? I’m the eldest son of the You Family, who in Yunhai City doesn’t know us?"

"Today, I’ll make him kneel before me and apologize in front of everyone at the banquet!"

With that, Young Master You approached Xiao Zheng with a hostile expression.
