"After I came back, I reflected on myself carefully. It was my fault. Everything has come to this because of me. I'm afraid you'll send me away." Su Yourong raised her head, her eyes reddening again, and said, "I just want to serve by your side."
Mr. Chen reached out and patted her head, then hooked her chin with his finger. This woman was truly endearing; she always had a knack for understanding people's thoughts.
"You could say it's related to you, but actually it's not. It's like when Wu Sangui entered the pass, he used Chen Yuanyuan's name, didn't he?" President Chen laughed, glancing inside her collar, and said with a smile, "You are also Yuanyuan."
"I'll do anything as long as I can stay by your side." Su Yourong changed her shoes, her gentle demeanor like that of a harmless kitten.
"Then have a couple of bites." Mr. Chen stood up and walked towards the dining table.
"Is everything alright with the company? He's a very capable person; he built a business empire from scratch in just a few years," Su Yourong asked worriedly.
"Where is this? He's a dragon on the mainland, but here he's just a worm at best." President Chen said proudly, "If I wanted to, I could gather tens of billions of yuan in a short period of time and build a Great Wall. What can he, with his paltry sums, possibly use to fight me?"
"Hundreds of billions?" Su Yourong had seen a lot in her life, but the sheer amount of money that had accumulated in such a short period of time still took her by surprise.
"Tens of billions is normal. For large financial companies, mobilizing a hundred or two billion is a piece of cake. This money doesn't belong to us; it belongs to our clients." President Chen looked at the food in front of him and praised, "I didn't know you could cook so well!"
“Mr. Chen, I also come from a poor family. I started helping my family cook when I was around ten years old. If you like it, I’ll cook for you every day.” Su Yourong filled a bowl with rice and placed it in front of Mr. Chen, tentatively asking, “So, does that mean he has no chance of winning?”
"Opportunities?" President Chen laughed and said, "He's just throwing an egg against a rock. If it were that easy, I wouldn't be able to keep this company. Don't worry."
"That's good!" Su Yourong smiled and sat down next to President Chen to serve her some food.
That night, discussions about Lu Feng in the financial industry reached a new peak. He was the talk of the town at various banquets and dinners, especially among the men, who mostly felt envious of him.
Su Yourong is a stunning beauty, and President Chen was also a beauty in his youth, so her daughter must be quite good-looking. As for President Chen, let's just forget about him.
Tang Zhongren sat at a table with a wine glass in his hand. Across from him sat several young women, all daughters of local financial tycoons.
"This richest man in mainland China is actually quite handsome."
"With so many women vying for him, how could he not be handsome? Plus, he's young. I noticed him last year; he's not even thirty yet."
"How big exactly?"
"It should be twenty-six or twenty-seven."
"So young, even younger than me."
"If he were to swallow up Chen's Capital, he would be the only one of his kind in the world at his age."
Tang Zhongren had been sitting there for several minutes. Today, apart from Lu Feng not being there, all he could hear in the room was Lu Feng. It was either gossip or finance. He had found a few girls to sit with and they were still talking about Lu Feng's appearance and age.
This made him extremely unhappy.
"If Chen's Capital were so easy to swallow, it would have been swallowed up long ago." Tang Zhongren took a sip of red wine and said with a look of disdain, "Chen's Capital Group's total market value should be around 17 billion, which would rank it among the top ten in Hong Kong's local financial industry. There are more than 30 board members, and President Chen holds less than 10% of the shares. What does he have to swallow it up with?"
“He’s very rich too, the richest man in mainland China!” a girl said, dissatisfied with Tang Zhongren’s way of speaking.
"What a load of rubbish, the richest man in China. He was almost bankrupt last year, and he's been swindling people here. He's probably gone broke lately and is causing trouble again." Tang Zhongren downed his wine in one gulp and said, "I wouldn't even look at this kind of trash, let alone President Chen."
"Are you cursing him so viciously because he stole your woman last year?" another girl sneered. "If you call him trash, then what are you?"
Several girls covered their mouths and laughed.
Tang Zhongren's expression changed drastically. He slammed his hand on the table and cursed, "Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with!"
"Who are you insulting?" a girl said unhappily. They were all in the same circle, and everyone knew each other's backgrounds.
Tang Zhongren ignored him and strode away. His hatred for Lu Feng intensified. If President Chen wanted to bankrupt Lu Feng, he would be happy to donate money to make him even worse off.
