Finance is the pearl on the crown ofmerce, the highest form of business existence!


    Why is Country M generally considered the number one superpower? Besides their military and technological strength, finance is also a very important factor!


    Therefore, the financial summit held in Yandu also attracted the attention of all Huaxia, and only heavyweight figures could attend this summit!


    Even Belle Group, a star enterprise of Jianghai, got its invitation through some connections Lin Ruoxue pulled, which speaks volumes about its standards.


    Strictly speaking, it wasn''t really a summit, because generally summits include leaders, but tonight''s did not.


    So, calling it aworking event or aworking dinner might be more appropriate, but it was referred to as a summit because of the heavyweight figures attending.


    Lin Ruoxue and Yunlong, because they coborated in inte finance, also barely squeezed into this circle.


    However, their scale was still too small and their time too short, so they did not have much presence.


    .....


    The Royal Hotel was located in the bustling eastern part of Yandu city, a luxurious six-star hotel.


    Tonight''s financeworking dinner was held in the number one banquet hall of the Yandu Royal Hotel.


    It is said that the Zheng Family, the most extensivemercial entity among the Five Great Families, is the behind-the-scenes owner of this Royal Hotel.


    The Zheng Family and Jianghai''s Liu Family are bothmerce-based, only the scale and strength of the two arepletely different!


    The Liu Family once viewed the Zheng Family as a model, aiming to be an entity like them, but their ambitions were nipped in the bud by Su Chen, leading to their downfall!


    After driving for about half an hour, Su Chen and his party arrived at the Royal Hotel.


    After parking in the underground parking lot, they walked towards the hotel entrance.


    Lin Ruoxue was walking in front with her arm in Su Chen''s, followed closely by Yunlong.


    Upon reaching the door of banquet hall number one, Lin Ruoxue showed the invitation to the doorman and walked straight in.


    By then, many people had already arrived in banquet hall number one, the men in sharp suits and the women glittering attractively, all gathered in groups, chatting andughing heartily.


    These individuals were indeed the top tier of society, sometimes a single decision or thought from them could affect many people''s livelihoods.


    It has to be said, beautiful women always attract attention in such settings, especially someone as stunningly beautiful as Lin Ruoxue!


    Of course, Su Chen at this moment was no less striking than Lin Ruoxue. His demeanor was like that of a noble from the Middle Ages, filled with nobility and a mysterious aura!


    So when Lin Ruoxue walked into the banquet hall with her arm in Su Chen''s, they immediately attracted countless nces!


    "Who is this woman? She''s simply like a fairy descended to Earth!"


    "Yeah, when did Yandue to have such a stunning beauty? Howe I didn''t know?"


    "This woman, she isn''t any less than those big stars at all!"


    "What are you looking at? Those stars can''tpare to her. Whether it''s looks, figure, or demeanor, do they have what she has?"


    "Exactly, what are you looking at, she is absolutely a beauty that could topple cities! Perhaps only Miss Pei and Miss Qi Meng of Yandu could barelypare to her."


    ...


    These exmations were of course from the men, who were mesmerized by Lin Ruoxue the moment they saw her!


    Of course, the sensation that Su Chen caused seemed no less than Lin Ruoxue.


    "Wow, who is this man? He has such a great aura!"


    "Yeah, he doesn''t look very handsome at first nce, but on a closer look, he''s quite appealing and has a lot of charm!"


    "I feel like this man is like a cup of poisoned wine; although poisonous, one can''t help but want to taste it!"


    "You nympho!"


    "Are you saying you wouldn''t want to? This man has an aura of mystery, coldness, nobility, and allure all in one, harmoniouslybined in a perfect way—it''s truly unbelievable!"


    "Yes, those clothes look like they were made especially for him; I doubt anyone else could pull them off like this!"


    "Stop daydreaming. Have you seen the woman by his side? Can youpare with her?"


    "Can''t I even think about it?"


    When those women saw Su Chen, they immediately sparkled with stars in their eyes, wondering how there could be such a unique and perfect man!


    There were also some people from Jiangnan here, who quickly let everyone know through their introductions that the woman was the president of the Jianghai Belle Group, a powerful businesswoman.


    And that man, it seemed, was her husband.


    "Pei Man, he''s here."


    Not far away, Pei Jian also spotted Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue who had just walked in.


    "I see him."


    Pei Man gently swirled her ss and smiled slightly.


    "Do you have any thoughts?"


    Pei Jian looked at Pei Man and seemingly asked casually.


    "What thoughts do you think I should have?"


    Pei Man sipped her red wine and smiled:


    "He''s very attractive today, I doubt there''s a woman here who wouldn''t have thoughts about him right now."


    As she said this, a flicker of intrigue passed through Pei Man''s eyes; she indeed had not expected Su Chen to have such a side.


    "His wife is not bad either."


    Pei Jian stated meaningfully.


    "Indeed, even I feel somewhat self-conscious looking at such a woman."


    Pei Man nodded towards Lin Ruoxue standing next to Su Chen, her gaze also filled with admiration.


    Then she turned to Pei Jian and said:


    "But, what does that matter?"


    "Pei Man, if you were ying a game, I would tell you that a game is just a game, nothing more. But if you are serious, I want to tell you that love can be devouring!"


    Pei Jian stated earnestly.


    "Big brother, you don''t seem to have been in love much, have you?"


    Pei Man burst outughing:


    "Why have you suddenly be a love expert?"


    Pei Jian didn''t respond, but nced in a direction before speaking:


    "The way those Young Masters are looking at him doesn''t seem quite right."


    "It''d be strange if it were right. Forced to act like a dog on the ground, anyone would be intolerable, let alone these haughty Young Masters."


    Pei Man nced nonchntly at where the Young Masters were gathering.


    A ss has its own circles, just as a billionaire finds it difficult to mingle with millionaires, much like millionaires rarely mix with the mere wealthy.


    And as the Young Masters of the Five Great Families, which are of the utmost elite ss, naturally had their own circles and were naturally grouping together upon arriving here.


    Others knew this too, and usually, after a greeting, they would walk away from these Young Masters. Staying forcibly would not only fail to leave a good impression, but it would also be irritating.


    These shrewd businessmen had perfected this to an art!


    Those wealthy heirs and heiresses, sensing some unrest in the crowd, also casually nced toward the entrance.


    However, after seeing the appearances of the two newly arrived, many of their faces tightened, and their hands clenched into fists, their joints cracking with the strain!


    It seemed as if there was a zing fire burning in their eyes as they looked at the two...
