As I sat, one of the executive from our table stood up and said "Silence!.... Ladies and gentlemen I know what you are curious about! so let me introduce you the person in question" he said.
After pausing for sometime he pointed his hands at me and said "This is Mr.Lin Feng the second largest shareholder of our Country Garden Holdings". The room was full of surprised people. I just chucked and waved at them.
Before they could recover from their shock the door to the meeting room was opened and Chu Bai came in. One of the executives from our stood up to greet him saying "Mr. Chu Bai welcome, may I ask what brought you here" politely.
"No need to get worked up so much I came her specifically for Mr.Lin over there" he said pointing at me. "Eh!....Mr.Chu do you know Mr.Lin?" he asked stupidly. At which I just chuckled.
"Brother Chu you came too early to find me, I thought you'd take some time" I said laughing. Seeing me laughing "I don't want to loose my job, for some time delay" he said.
Hearing our conversation everyone was dumbfounded. "too early", "loosing job" everyone started muttering and whispering to themselves. Suddenly some asked "Mr. Chu who is this person and why would you loose your job due to him?, we all people know your reputation as you have connections with many big people".
Hearing the question everyone quited down eager to get the answer. Chu Bai just chuckled and said "Even I don't know his true worth, he has many properties and large amount of shares in many companies". "Even this Baiyun Hotel is solely owned by him, which means he is my direct boss".
It took time for everyone to take in the content revealed by Chu Bai. Everyone looked at me as if I was a limited edition object they wanted to own. "Boss why did you came to the hotel today" suddenly Chu Bai broke the silence.
"Ah nothing it's just my son's birthday in a week's time and I thought of inviting you" I said as if it was a normal thing. "Oh, by the way the cost of the meeting room today, don't take it", "I am also a shareholder in Country Garden Holdings" I said surprising him and Ms. Yang"
"Ms. You are also invited for the birthday party, so don't be late" I said. "Where is the party" she asked curiously. "Ah! yes it's at Guangzhou Dayi villas" I said. "which one" Chu Bai asked this time. I just simply smiled and said "villa unit 1 to 5, all are mine".
Everyone looked at me wide eyed and again started whispering "every unit there is approx 400 million yuan and he owns 5 of the best, each would cost at least 600 to 800 million plus the villa no. 1 costing at least 980 million or even a Billion" they said.
Hearing the locations Chu Bai and Ms.Yang just nodded. I just stood up and said "Everyone just submit your company data and material quality and capacity reports today, don't disturb Ms.Yang too much okay" I said. And Everyone just nodded.
I then left with Chu Bai to chat with in his office. After chatting a bit, I came to the entrance of the hotel and saw the group of people who came to the meeting waiting there silently.
Seeing me the rushed towards me and sweet talking me and gave me their buisness cards. Even Jiang Wei's new wife introduced herself saying "Hello I'm Ling Yurou CEO of Gangyu Construction Material Limited Company."
I just took her card and smiled politely, but had a brutal idea in my mind for her. As I gave a polite smile to her. Jiang wei's felt shivers sitting in the car and said "I guess the AC temperature is too cold".
As I was talking and shaking hands with everyone politely. A chauffeur brought my Brabus G 63 and gave me the key at the entrance politely. I took out my wallet and gave 5000 yuan to him as a tip.
Sitting in my car I drove out of Baiyun Hotel. Thinking of the previous meeting, I couldn't help but reflect on the dramatic turn of events. As I maneuvered my car through the bustling streets, I recalled the look of shock and yearning on everyone's faces. The air of mystery surrounding my wealth and influence had clearly left a lasting impression on them.
Arriving at my villa complex in Guangzhou, I parked my car and entered the opulent living room of my villa. The grandeur of the place never ceased to amaze me, even though I owned it. I called for my Shiyun, to go over the preparations for Juan's birthday party. "Shiyun," I said, as she entered the room, "ensure all the arrangements for the party are proceeding smoothly. I want this event to be perfect."
"Of course, darling," she responded, and kissed me lightly on my lips. "Everything will be ready in advance." said Ling'er and kissed me too while settling into my lap, while engrossed in thinking about todays events, my phone buzzed.
It was a message from Chu Bai, expressing his excitement and participation in the upcoming party and his gratitude for the invitation. I replied with a brief message, appreciating his enthusiasm.The week flew by with a flurry of preparations while I claimed my daily sign-in rewards.
On the day of the party, the villas were adorned with exquisite decorations, and a sense of festivity filled the air. Guests began to arrive, including high-profile figures from various industries I held shares in, eager to mingle and celebrate.
Chu Bai, Ms. Yang, Ms.Liu and Juan's classmates were among the first to arrive, followed by Ling Yurou and other notable executives. I didn't saw Jiang Wei with her at which I smiled. Each guest was greeted warmly, and the atmosphere was filled with lively conversations and laughter.
As the evening progressed, I took a moment to address the guests. Standing on a beautifully decorated stage, I looked out at the sea of faces, all eager to hear what I had to say.
"Ladies, gentlemen and all kiddos," I began, "thank you all for coming to celebrate my son's birthday. Even though he's not related to me by blood he quickly became an important and irreplaceable part of my life." I said ruffling his hair. "It's a pleasure to have you here, and I hope you enjoy the festivities."
"Today is not just about celebrating a birthday; it's also about building relationships and strengthening our bonds as friends and business partners." The crowd erupted in applause, and I could see genuine smiles and nods of agreement. I even got various system notifications for affinity from different people.
The rest of the evening was a resounding success, with everyone enjoying the lavish spread of food, and entertainment.
