My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 468 : Beauty is Capital
"...Alright!"
Yan Mingyu pondered for a moment before nodding her head.
In the hall, only Jinling's wealthy could be considered; those who made it to the second floor were truly the elite of the elite.
If she wanted to make it in the provincial city, she had to find a way to integrate into these elite circles.
Even if Zhao Yucheng was openly or secretly causing her trouble, in such a public setting, he probably wouldn't dare do anything to her. Otherwise, if she didn't have the courage to go upstairs, it would become a laughing stock once it got out.
"Be careful!"
Qin Yu said softly.
In such a situation, he was not entitled to go up without an invitation.
"Yes, I know."
After Yan Mingyu finished speaking, she followed the waiter up the staircase to the second floor.
"Wow, who is that woman? She looks somewhat unfamiliar, yet she can go to the second floor!"
"Unfamiliar, yes, but she's beautiful!"
"Right, beauty is also a kind of capital these days!"
The people in the hall became envious upon seeing this scene.
Qin Yu shrugged; he had no interest in such occasions. He went to a corner and sent Chen Mo a message on his smartphone: Turn on the app on President Yan's phone.
During the time they went to the hot springs, a cross-dressing tycoon had almost taken advantage of Yan Mingyu and Liu Xiaoxiao. It was Chen Mo who had informed him in the nick of time.
Because he had installed an app on Yan Mingyu's phone that could use the phone's recording function to listen to the conversations of people around her, enabling timely support in case of danger.
Got it, Brother Yu.
After responding, Chen Mo added: You and President Yan have gone to the provincial city; when will we come up? I heard the girls in the provincial city are even prettier.
Come up after things have stabilized.
Okay, Brother Yu. Oh, and those two female celebrities last time, they were very skilled, thanks.
Work hard, and you won't be treated unfairly.
After chatting with Chen Mo on his smartphone for a bit, Qin Yu put down his phone and found a sofa to sit on.
"Everyone, please present your invitations!"
At that moment, a heavy-browed and big-eyed man in a Zhongshan suit, accompanied by several subordinates, started to check the invitations.
The people coming up tonight were either rich or noble, and there was also the possibility of ill-intentioned individuals sneaking in.
As the organizer, the Jinling Chamber of Commerce had to ensure the safety of these people.
"Here's mine..."
"This one's for my wife..."
People in the hall were very cooperative and took out their invitations.
Hmm?
Does that mean everyone has an invitation?
Qin Yu frowned slightly; he didn't have an invitation on him.
Had Zhao Yucheng forgotten, or had it been intentional, or was there another purpose?
"Sir, please present your invitation!"
At that moment, a young man in black approached Qin Yu.
"That... I'm President Yan's bodyguard; I don't have an invitation!"
Qin Yu showed an embarrassed expression.
Everyone had an invitation except him, making it seem as if he was just freeloading.
Perhaps this was one of Zhao Yucheng's little tricks, wanting to see him make a fool of himself.
"I'm sorry, but bodyguards are not allowed to attend tonight's banquet. Moreover, no one brings bodyguards to such an event!"
The young man in black was polite with his words, but his eyes were already showing some disdain.
Who would bring a bodyguard to such a high-end gathering? Which nouveau riche was this?
"Uh..."
Qin Yu was in a bit of a dilemma; insisting on staying would surely get him thrown out. But if he left voluntarily, and Yan Mingyu ran into trouble on the second floor, it would be difficult for him to get back in.
"Sir, please!"
The young man in black's tone had become more forceful.
"Just a moment, let me contact my boss!"
Qin Yu wanted to make a phone call to Yan Mingyu to see if she could get him an invitation.
"Yo, isn't this our great bodyguard Qin?"

At that moment, Ye Tianling, holding a glass of champagne, walked over.
Indeed, he had arrived alone that evening, without his bodyguard, Butterfly.
Seeing Qin Yu without an invitation, being escorted out, he couldn't help but mock, "Look at you, slaving away so pitifully, and they don't even give you an invitation. How about this, call me Young Master Ye and beg me, and I'll help you get one!"
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable."
Qin Yu glanced at Ye Tianling and ignored him. However, a recorded message from the phone stated that Yan Mingyu's phone was either switched off or set to Do Not Disturb.
"I'm f***ing talking to you!"
Ye Tianling, feeling ignored like he was thin air, found it hard to save face and frowned, reprimanding loudly.
"You asking for a spanking?"
Unable to get in touch with Yan Mingyu, Qin Yu started to feel uneasy. Ye Tianling's incessant babbling was irritating him, so he glared back.
"Shit, do you even realize where you are, threatening me like that? Wait, where's my wallet?"
Ye Tianling's eyes flashed with malice as he purposefully patted his chest where his wallet should be.
In fact, he hadn't brought his wallet at all today. At his level of wealth, simply showing his face was enough to get by at such events; there was no need for him to pay personally.
Miffed by Qin Yu's insolence, he wanted to smear his reputation and embarrass him a bit.
The kid could fight, but he wouldn't dare to oppose the entire Jinling Business Association, right?
"Young Master Ye, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Nangong Kui also came over with a glass of wine.
"My wallet's gone!"
Ye Tianling winked at Nangong Kui.
"Hm? This kind of thing happened? What's going on with the association, allowing a thief to mingle in?"
After catching Ye Tianling's hint, Nangong Kui turned and questioned the young man in black who was maintaining order.
"Family Head Nangong, we just checked, and everyone has an invitation except this guy who claims to be a bodyguard. If Young Master Ye's wallet is missing, it must have been him who stole it!"
The young man in black spoke out, pressing his walkie-talkie: "Boss, we have a situation over here!"
"What's up?"
The man in the Zhongshan suit, followed by a group of subordinates, strode over with a serious expression.
"Alright then, that's good to hear. Contact me immediately if there's any issue!"
Qin Yu felt quite speechless about Ye Tianling's little trick. Ignoring him, he turned to talk to Chen Mo on the phone.
Fortunately, Chen Mo informed him that although Yan Mingyu's phone was turned off, the recording function could still work. It seemed she was discussing a business project, and for confidentiality reasons, had requested all participants to turn off their phones. There was no emergency.
"Kid, put down the phone and come with us to the security center!"
The man in the Zhongshan suit pointed at Qin Yu and said.
"Are you guys sick? Just because he claims his wallet is lost, it's definitely me who stole it? Just because he's called Ye Tianling and a member of the Ye family, does that make everything he says the truth?"
Now that Qin Yu knew Yan Mingyu was safe, he felt more at ease. After putting down the phone, he couldn't resist lashing out at the man in the Zhongshan suit.
Ye Tianling might have status, but Qin Yu had his own status too, although being the Dragon Gate Leader wasn't something he could reveal at the moment.
In terms of position, he was much higher than a mere collateral member of the Ye family, wasn't he?
"Hmph, a thief would never admit he's a thief. Take him!"
The man in the Zhongshan suit coldly ordered.
"Yes!"
Several young men in black moved towards Qin Yu to grab his shoulder and drag him to the security center.
"Step aside, I'll leave on my own!"
Qin Yu shrugged off his shoulders, planning to wait for Yan Mingyu in the car outside.
"Ouch...."
"Pfft...."
However, something no one expected happened.
One of the young men in black stumbled back a few steps, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight to the ground.
