Not to mention making connections with the Eight Great Families, even attending the same banquet as them is enough to brag about.

In the future, when doing business or chatting at a cocktail party, saying I once saw Zhao Gushen at a banquet or spoke to Han Zhuoli at the same event, these are things that will make people look up to you.

After all, what kind of people can attend the same banquet as Zhao Gushen and others?

Of course, only people with enough status and identity can attend.

If you can attend, it means recognition of your identity and status.

Naturally, it earns respect.

Liu Sixu told Ye Ning, "Anyone who can get into this banquet has some means and connections. They outcompeted other families to get in here, so they should not be underestimated."

"At such a banquet full of prominent families and important figures, exposing Ye Fei’s scandal will disgrace the Zhao Family and Ye Fei, which is truly impactful."

"Netizens don’t know the truth and understand nothing, a rumor clarified they easily believe. But these families have prestige; for the Zhao Family to lose face in such a setting is far more painful than online embarrassment."

"After all, the Zhao Family is far removed from ordinary people, and no one knows their situation, but they are close to these families. Losing such face in their circle, how will they stand? What dignity do they have?"

"They will surely be laughed at privately by other families? And be mocked by those families that usually are not as significant as them, which truly is the most damaging thing for them."

"Then the Zhao Family, not wanting to lose face in the circle nor create greater mockery, can only abandon Ye Fei and won’t cover for her anymore. Only then does your plan truly achieve its effect."

Ye Ning rolled her eyes several times before speaking, "Since it’s so difficult to get into this banquet, can you get me in?"

Liu Sixu laughed, "It’s quite lucky, previously the Liu Family cooperated with the officials on a business deal, and because the cooperation went well, we naturally have channels, getting an invitation from the officials."

After all, the invitation isn’t issued by the Eight Great Families but by the officials, so whoever has good relations with them and walks this path can get an invitation.

Getting this invitation is easier than getting one from the Eight Great Families.

"I can take you inside," Liu Sixu said.

Ye Ning was delighted, but soon had doubts.

She cautiously asked, "If I publicly expose Ye Fei and cause the Zhao Family to lose face among the families, wouldn’t the Zhao Family hate me even more? What if, because of this, the Zhao Family sabotages me, and other families don’t dare to cooperate with me because of the Zhao Family’s relations, what then?"

Liu Sixu thought Ye Ning was quite clever, not dumb.

Liu Sixu smiled and said, "You’re thinking a bit too much, and too far ahead. Firstly, you also know the Zhao Family cares about face. If because you expose Ye Fei, the Zhao Family holds a grudge and retaliates against you, it means they’re too petty. If what you say is false, is slander, even if you are just a minor figure, the Zhao Family wouldn’t let you go just because you’re insignificant."

"If they ignore your nonsense and slander, that’s when they truly lose face; instead, they would more severely retaliate against you, as a warning, so others don’t dare to speak nonsensically again."

"But after all, you’re speaking the truth, you’re not slandering them, if what you say is true and the Zhao Family wants to deal with you, then it’s the Zhao Family who lacks dignity. Such a large family as theirs values face the most, they wouldn’t stoop to deal with a minor figure."

"Besides, setting all of this aside, to be honest, you haven’t even opened your restaurant yet, and haven’t reached the level of those families, so you truly don’t have to worry they won’t cooperate with you."

"Since currently, you don’t have the opportunity to cooperate with them, the companies you can work with are small-scale, and those smaller companies have no interest involved with the Zhao Family, and won’t refuse to cooperate with you just to avoid offending the Zhao Family."

"Because they themselves don’t have the opportunity to intersect with the Zhao Family. Let me put it this way, the Zhao Family and we belong to one circle, and you with those smaller companies to another circle. And these circles don’t intersect, so your worry is really unnecessary."

What truly should be worried is the Liu Family.

The Liu Family truly experienced it firsthand this time.

Those families feared offending the Zhao Family, thus dared not have any dealings with the Liu Family.

Leaving Liu Sixu unsure whether to be proud or sorrowful.

After all, they are, at least, within the same circle as the Eight Great Families.

Although saying that, Ye Ning indeed breathed a sigh of relief, at least not having to worry those families won’t cooperate due to fear of Zhao Family.

But hearing Liu Sixu say this, clearly looking down on her, Ye Ning still felt uncomfortable.

"So, do you agree? If you agree, I can help you with this. If you don’t agree, I won’t force it; following your original plan on the show’s recording day works too," Liu Sixu said.

Anyway, this incident wouldn’t implicate Liu Sixu.

Liu Sixu thought it through, he’s only bringing Ye Ning inside.

It’s Ye Ning who will speak up then.

If the Zhao Family truly pursues the matter, he’ll sever ties with Ye Ning and push Ye Ning forward.

Ye Ning thought about it, indeed didn’t want to miss this chance.

This is the opportunity she always wanted, now that Liu Sixu offered it, how could she not take it?

Anyway, if not at this banquet, she also planned to expose Ye Fei during the show recording.

No matter how it’s done, the Zhao Family will be offended.

Having thought it through, Ye Ning nodded to Liu Sixu, "Alright, let’s do it at the banquet as you suggested."

Liu Sixu was satisfied, "Good, wait for my message."

Then, he reminded her, "Prepare a formal dress."

"Don’t worry," Ye Ning felt belittled, and couldn’t help but respond sarcastically, "Even though I come from a small place and haven’t attended any of your high families’ banquets, I still know these basic things."

After Ye Ning finished speaking, she got up and left.

Seeing Ye Ning walk out of the teahouse, Liu Sixu then went to where Liu Pingyuan and Mrs. Liu were.

"Dad, it’s settled," Liu Sixu said.

Liu Pingyuan naturally heard it all. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Mrs. Liu then asked, "What should we do next?"

"To drive Ye Fei out of the Zhao Family, make her break with them, in such a way, Zhao Gushen would have no reason to make things difficult for us because of Ye Fei. This I understand," Mrs. Liu said.
