Chapter 137 A Perfect Dinner Affair
Zhou Yi and Kong Xiaohe ascended the stairs together, heading toward Suite 1.
The door to the private room stood ajar, revealing five people seated within.
Kong Huaijin lingered near a bespectacled middle-aged man, whose presence exuded an air of quiet sophistication.
Drawing from his prior research online, Zhou Yi recognized him instantly—this was none other than Kong Weizheng, father of Kong Xiaohe and the wealthiest man in Huaihai.
Rather than resembling a shrewd businessman, Kong Weizheng carried himself with the composed demeanor of a scholar, his every movement imbued with grace.
In addition to the Kong family members, two other men occupied seats across from them.
One bore a long white beard, his gaunt frame contrasting sharply with his piercing eyes that gleamed with vitality.
The second man possessed a robust build, his ruddy complexion and slicked-back hair marking him as someone accustomed to authority—a self-made tycoon through and through.
When Zhou Yi and Kong Xiaohe entered, none of the men rose to greet them. After all, they were juniors, and it would be improper for elders to stand for such introductions.
Moreover, Zhou Yi was still a relative unknown, lacking both influence and reputation among these titans of industry.
Instead, the men offered polite smiles, their expressions hinting at cautious curiosity.
