Ma Tiancheng approached Ma Jingdong and whispered to him, "We must find a way to investigate this person’s background. I feel that Wen Dong's matter is definitely connected to him."

Among those present, only Ma Tiancheng was perceptive enough to see that Huang Quan was definitely not an ordinary person.

Ma Jingdong looked up in surprise and nodded, indicating to keep it quiet.

At that moment, the Master Qu, who had gone to the restroom, returned once again.

However, this time he didn’t come back with such an arrogant attitude. He respectfully said to Huang Quan, "Brother, where did you learn from? How did you see my recent situation?"

Huang Quan waved his hand, indifferent, "I just guessed!"

This time, Master Qu was absolutely not convinced that Huang Quan was just guessing, but in their line of work, some people were indeed reluctant to reveal the secrets behind their methods.

He nodded knowingly, "Brother, you also know that I have been having some bad luck lately. This time, I don’t know if the property I chose for the Ma family will work out."

"If something goes wrong, I really can’t afford to offend the Ma family."

"How about this, you help me take a look, and if it works, I’ll give you half."

Master Qu made a "five" gesture with his hand.

Huang Quan looked down, slightly shook his head, and made a "eight" gesture.

Master Qu pouted, swallowed hard. He had done all the preliminary site selection and subsequent practices himself. This kid was just reviewing the final product.

Giving this kid half was already quite a lot; did he really want to ask for more?

Master Qu pretended to leave, and Huang Quan did not stop him.

Halfway, Master Qu thought about it. He had indeed put in some effort, but lately, several of his cases were nearly falling apart. The Ma family was influential both above and below the surface; he really couldn't afford to offend them.

So he turned back, stood next to Ma Jingdong, and made a "six" gesture.

Huang Quan raised an eyebrow and made a "seven" gesture.

Master Qu gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, nodded in agreement. Deal!

At that moment, the music in the venue started playing, and everyone walked towards the dance floor in the center.

Huang Quan looked at the itinerary on the invitation and realized it was time for the ball to begin.

He wasn’t interested in dancing, and he didn’t like crowds, so he took this opportunity to retreat to a corner.

Along the way, he overheard everyone discussing.

"Which of the Four Young Masters do you think Miss Kong Ru from the capital will choose to dance the opening dance with?"

"Hard to say. Miss Kong Ru is a top socialite from the capital, with high standards. I really don’t know who could catch her eye."

"Speaking of which, our Four Young Masters aren’t bad either! Several of them are quite young and have collaborated with the capital! I think only those invited by the Four Young Masters can be considered outstanding!"

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"But Miss Kong definitely isn’t an ordinary person. I remember last year a young man from the capital pursued her, and she didn’t even give him a glance."

Kong Ru?

Is that the woman with particularly special luck?

Huang Quan silently murmured in his heart. The mention of her made him a bit curious.

Although he was in a corner, his eyes were still on the situation in the venue.

Sure enough, the four young masters all extended olive branches to Kong Ru at the same time.

Yet, Kong Ru rejected them one by one.

She shook her head and said softly, "I’m sorry, I already have a choice for the opening dance. You can find someone else!"

The Four Young Masters exchanged glances; the four of them had different types and fields of expertise. Couldn’t even one of them catch Kong Ru’s interest?

Kong Ru's rejection sparked quiet discussions around them, as everyone speculated who this debutante from the capital would choose.

Feeling embarrassed from being rejected, the four young masters all left the dance floor and returned to their seats.

In the dance floor, everyone suddenly disappeared, and the scene became a bit awkward.

Kong Ru had a smile on her lips, her eyes full of longing, as she walked towards the edge of the venue in her high heels, exuding a powerful aura.

Everyone's gaze followed her steps, looking towards the edge.

Eventually, Kong Ru stopped in front of Huang Quan.

Everyone was taken aback, and the voices of discussion surged one after another.

"How can it be him? Such an inconspicuous person actually has the goddess's favor?"

"It seems he is the one mentioned by Old Master Tang, the savior!"

"I don't see anything special about him. How could Miss Kong refuse Fourth Young Master because of him?"

Kong Ru nodded slightly, her eyes incredibly clear, staring at Huang Quan for a long time before saying, "Sir, for my opening dance, may I invite you to dance with me?"

Huang Quan looked around and, pointing at himself, said, "I can't dance!"

Kong Ru remained graceful and smiled, saying, "That's alright, I can lead you, it's very simple."

Huang Quan shook his head again, "I don't like crowds, with so many people watching, I don't like it."

Kong Ru's brows furrowed slightly; this person was indeed quite different. While others were eager to surround her, he was rejecting her.

However, Kong Ru had a stubborn temperament; the more unattainable something was, the more she wanted it, and the more he rejected her, the more interested she became.

She looked at Huang Quan in silence, and he remained quiet as well, the two of them locking eyes.

Seeing this, Old Master Tang hurried forward to break the tension. He patted Huang Quan's arm and said, "Little brother, this is the eldest daughter of the capital. If you can connect with her, your network—"

"I don't care. I never thought I could network well here anyway. Old Master Tang, I came this time just to respect you; I don't care about anyone else!"

He smiled, looking at Kong Ru and gently nodding.

Huang Quan was quite interested in Kong Ru. If there was only one person here he could fancy, it would definitely be Kong Ru.

However, he really didn't like being pointed at; if he danced with Kong Ru, it would surely lead to all sorts of commentary.

If he had to choose between women and quietness, he would definitely choose quietness!

Old Master Tang smiled awkwardly, pulling Huang Quan aside and whispering, "Little brother, just do me a favor. This banquet can’t go cold.

Besides, this girl is not someone the Tang family can provoke. Just help me out and dance with her."

Huang Quan looked up at Old Master Tang, an old man with a face full of pleading, and he truly wanted to get to know Kong Ru.

If he danced, he could explore Kong Ru's fortune and do Old Master Tang a favor, making it a worthwhile deal.

Huang Quan thought for a while, pretending to be very troubled, and said, "Alright then!"

On the dance floor, a pair of talented man and beautiful woman danced gracefully.

Kong Ru was like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, her graceful figure incredibly light.

Huang Quan followed Kong Ru's steps, a bit clumsy, occasionally stepping on her toes.

Kong Ru, however, didn't mind at all, maintaining a noble smile on her face.

She smiled and asked Huang Quan, "Do you want to know why I chose you?"

Huang Quan replied nonchalantly, "Because you women are strange; the less you want to deal with someone, the more interest you have."

"When the ball started, everyone went towards the dance floor, while I was the only one going outside. You must be curious, right!"

Kong Ru pouted; this man really didn’t understand romance, speaking so matter-of-factly. Most importantly, he was almost spot on.

Kong Ru was momentarily at a loss for words. The charming man in front of her piqued her immense curiosity, and she even wanted to analyze him.

On the edge of the dance floor, the four young masters gathered together, drinking. With their glasses raised, they all looked puzzled.

"What do you think, what is the background of this Huang Quan?"
