Half an hour later, Rong Dai and her husband Huo Shao Ting arrived at the venue for the TK celebration banquet. Since her miscarriage, Huo Shao Ting's exclusive car had been sent for cleaning.
Although the car they drove today was also luxurious, it didn't cause much of a sensation in Shengjing City, as there were many similar cars around.
"CEO, everything has been arranged," Zhang Assistant said as the couple entered through the back door of the hotel. He had just come out of the elevator and quickly glanced at Rong Dai before respectfully addressing Huo Shao Ting.
Huo Shao Ting nodded and handed a USB drive to Zhang Assistant.
His expression was cold, and his deep eyes looked sinister. "Once all the people have arrived at the venue, start it."
Zhang Assistant took the USB drive and glanced at Rong Dai before hesitating to speak.
"CEO, it seems that TK might not be able to gather all the invited guests today."
Rong Dai raised an eyebrow, unable to contain her curiosity. "What do you mean by 'not able to gather'?"
Zhang Assistant was also puzzled. He shook his head and replied, "I haven't investigated that yet."
"But many famous celebrities who received the invitation from TK aren't coming. They claimed to have last-minute engagements."
"If it were just a few people who had sudden matters to attend to, it would be understandable."
"But more than a hundred people canceled their attendance all at once."
"Currently, there are fewer than a hundred people at the venue, mostly from the Brocade Embroidery Workshop, with over twenty high-ranking officials present."
Rong Dai instinctively looked at Huo Shao Ting.
"I don't have that much influence. It's not because of me," he answered, holding her hand.
"That's strange. Could TK have received some kind of damaging information?" Rong Dai was also perplexed.
Just as she finished speaking, her phone vibrated in her handbag.
She took it out and saw that it was a call from Qiao Wanzhou.
The phone was vibrating urgently, so Rong Dai quickly answered it.
"Rong Dai, don't think I'm not loyal just because I'm abroad!"
"I was furious when I heard about TK stepping on you and your husband, so I helped you vent your anger."
"After all these years in the industry, I still have some connections."
"And most importantly, TK has offended the bigshot in your family without realizing it. With just a small favor from me, they'll be in hot water."
"Not offending TK, and not embarrassing myself—it's a win-win!"
Qiao Wanzhou's tone had become much livelier, making it pleasant to listen to.
Rong Dai was momentarily stunned but quickly realized what Qiao Wanzhou had done.
"So, Qiao Miss is the one responsible for the missing guests at the TK venue?"
She couldn't help but find it amusing.
What could she say to Qiao Wanzhou? If they made a little inquiry, they would find out what she had done. Would they still treat her nicely?
But it didn't seem to matter anymore, as after today, the TK brand in China would likely be erased.
"So, how about it? Isn't your sister impressive?" Qiao Wanzhou asked, laughing.
"Yes, very impressive!" Rong Dai chuckled. After chatting with her for a while, she hung up the phone.
"Was it Miss Qiao who did this?"
Zhang Assistant was astonished but considering Qiao Wanzhou's connections and network within the circle, not to mention that everyone in this circle is skilled at reading people's expressions, it made sense.
Isn't TK risking his life by relentlessly belittling the CEO and his wife? Isn't he practically asking for trouble?
Rong Dai nodded, turned her head to look at Huo Shao Ting, and reached out to hold his arm, smiling as she said, "But she also said that these people are just going with the flow and they still fear your power."
