He adjusted his cuffs dramatically and said with a superior smile, "So, your family is also into business? That's good to hear. If you need any help with anything — connections, introductions, even funding — just tell me."
"I have very strong connections with a lot of important people in the industry. Senators, real estate tycoons, even a few ministers… it might be really helpful in growing your little business."
He paused for dramatic effect, then asked with fake politeness dripping with condescension, "So, what is your business actually about? Imports? Exports? Some small startup, maybe?"
I kept my tone calm and deliberately understated. "Well… It's nothing special. Not really worth mentioning right now."
