Chapter 2270: Chapter 2271: A Big Shot is Coming

The man speaking was dressed in a dark suit, with a white shirt underneath, and wearing a Royal Oak watch on his wrist. Just standing there, he exuded an elite aura.

The man’s name was Xu Zhengchu. His family was in the food business, not only outstanding in Yang City but also a leading enterprise in all of China.

With a family fortune of tens of billions, it was enough to give him a sense of superiority that stood out from the crowd.

The girl he referred to as Little Yu was named Fang Yu. Her family was in the smart equipment manufacturing business, and their fortune was also in the tens of billions. Or it could be said that in their small circle, everyone’s fortune was about the same.

In today’s increasingly solidified social strata, they always maintained their superiority and were very resistant to outsiders entering their circle; they would not allow such a thing to happen.

In their view, mixing with those ordinary rich second-generation kids would lower their own level.

...

So for a long time, these people had been the most elite existence in Yang City.

Just like Qin Han and others in Zhong Hai.

The short-haired girl said, “It can’t be as bad as you’re saying, can it? The people who can come here tonight shouldn’t be considered poor. In Yang City, they’re all notable figures.”

“You’re wrong about that,” Xu Zhengchu retorted. “Normally, these two wouldn’t be able to get in. They aren’t qualified for such a high-end occasion.”

After Xu Zhengchu finished speaking, everyone’s gaze turned to him.

“What do you mean by that? Do you know them?”

“I don’t know them, but I have some impression of him,” Xu Zhengchu pointed at Qu Xuanhe and said, “I seem to have seen him once when I was coming off the race track. He was from another team, his family fortune seems to be just tens of millions, not even as much as the tip of our family’s wealth. Normally when I meet people like this, I can’t be bothered to give them a second glance.”

“Really? How did people like them get in, then?”

Everyone was somewhat surprised because today’s annual meeting was of very high standards. The people who could come had fortunes of at least several billion.

A person with a mere tens of millions in assets did not belong here.

“Who knows? Perhaps they sneaked in by using someone else’s connections,” Xu Zhengchu shrugged. “After all, it’s allowed to bring people in.”

“That makes sense,” the short-haired girl said indifferently, “The management of the annual meeting is getting laxer and laxer. Even such people can get in and lower the level of the event.”

“There’s nothing that can be done about that. But as long as we make sure that there’s no such trash in our own circle, that’s all that matters.”

“Do we even need to talk about it? Who wants to hang out with those low-level people? They can’t help with anything and only hold us back.”

After she spoke, the short-haired woman looked at Fang Yu and said, “Little Yu, just take a look; that’s enough. We’re not from the same circle, and you don’t need to demean yourself to strike up a conversation with him.”

Fang Yu nodded, without saying anything else, she gave up the idea of going forward to chat.

After all, what her companion said made a lot of sense; there really was no need for someone of her own family fortune.

Fang Yu sighed inwardly, wondering why there wasn’t a man of a matching family fortune who was also truly outstanding.

While they were talking, several middle-aged men walked over, whispering and discussing something among themselves.

Seeing the middle-aged men who had come down, Xu Zhengchu was a bit surprised and went forward to ask, “Dad, didn’t you say you were discussing business upstairs and would come down later? Why have you come down so early?”

“We just found out that Secretary Wu has invited a heavyweight guest to the annual meeting today, so we came down earlier to get ready,” said Xu Zhengchu’s father, Xu Jiaoyang.

“A heavyweight guest?”

Xu Zhengchu and the others looked at each other. In the Yang City circle, his father and uncles were among the top echelons, almost unbeatable.

So who could this heavyweight guest be?

“Dad, who is the person you mentioned? Do we know him?”

“You might have heard of him, but you don’t know him. We haven’t met him either, so we came down early to see,” Xu Jiaoyang said.

“There are still people we don’t know?”

“The individual is from Zhong Hai, you should know about Lingyun Group, right?”

“Of course, we know. It’s the leading enterprise in Zhong Hai, and also the leader of Huaxia’s semiconductor industry. It would be strange if we didn’t know them.”

“Wow, not bad, kid. You even know all this,” Xu Jiaoyang said with a smile, “It seems you do get some real work done.”

“That’s for sure,” Xu Zhengchu replied smugly, “I not only know this, but I also know the person in charge of Lingyun Group is named Qi Xianzhao. Could it be that he came today?”

Hearing Xu Zhengchu say this, Xu Jiaoyang and his friends all laughed.

“You were just praised and right away you gave yourself away.”

“Huh? Isn’t Qi Xianzhao the one who came?” Xu Zhengchu asked in surprise.

“Although Qi Xianzhao is the person in charge of Lingyun Group, he is not the real founder.”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengchu and the others were shocked.

Because of the great success of Lingyun Group, they had discussed it privately before. They had all agreed that he was the founder of Lingyun Group. They couldn’t imagine that there was actually someone else.

“Let me tell you the truth. The real founder of Lingyun Group is Director Lin Yi, and he’s about the same age as you guys,” said Xu Jiaoyang, “You should really learn from him in the future. He is the real role model for you to follow.”

Stunned!

Xu Zhengchu and the others were dumbfounded. No one had expected that the real founder of Lingyun Group was a peer of their own age!

This news was unexpected, even unimaginable.

In their private discussions, they had always believed that if Lingyun Group went public, it would surely become the largest financial unicorn ever, reaching trillions in scale, and even securing the throne of Huaxia’s richest man wouldn’t be a problem.

But they had never imagined that the other party could be of the same age as them; it seemed utterly inconceivable.

“This can’t be possible, right? How could someone so young have such substantial capital?”

“Don’t think of him the way you think of ordinary people. A person as proud as Secretary Wu admits he is a genius. So his abilities are beyond doubt, definitely surpassing everyone present here, even us. We might fall far short in front of him.”

As Xu Jiaoyang spoke, Fang Yu, who was standing quietly to the side, felt her heartbeat quicken.

For a long time, she had been looking for a boyfriend who was her match.

In this circle, the people had family fortunes that matched hers, but they were all nothing more than spoiled scions, far from truly outstanding.

Being friends with such people was fine, but definitely not suitable as a lover.

But today, Director Lin of Lingyun Group seemed like a very good fit!
