Chapter 38 - 30: A Shining Debut

Chapter 38: Chapter 30: A Shining DebutSpeaking of the Wancheng Elite Gathering, it is actually a venue for the rich second generation and offspring of officials in the Pearl River Delta, supposedly for socializing and making connections. In reality, it’s a business transaction meeting. Just imagine all these social elites from various circles in Wancheng gathered together—not only drinking, chatting, singing, and dancing but certainly also deciding on many business deals and transactions at this event. As a result, over time, the nature of the elite gathering has gradually changed, eventually becoming a trading platform and conduit for those second-generation elites of Wancheng’s upper class. The venue for the elite gathering is often the Golden Supreme Hotel, which is rumored to be the stronghold of the Huo Clan, a giant snake in the Pearl River Delta’s underground world. The Golden Supreme Hotel has seventy-two floors, making it the second tallest building in the Pearl River Delta after Yunhai Mansion. Moreover, before Yunhai Mansion was completed, the Golden Supreme was a landmark building in the Pearl River Delta, and the tallest in Wancheng. As night fell, Wancheng was ablaze with lights. Being a weekend, Golden Square beneath the Golden Supreme Club was already teeming with people, bustling with cars and crowds. Parking lots of all sizes and roadside spots were filled with eye-catching luxury cars, and even limited edition supercars were not uncommon, comparable to famous car exhibitions of luxury car clubs. On such a lively day, the wealthy of Wancheng also want to make an appearance, to check their standing in the Wancheng business world by seeing where they rank among the gathered tycoons! Although not all the VIP guests had arrived and the host had yet to take their seat, those elite figures who came early were not idle. They raised their wine glasses, mingled, and sought out old friends to chat about business and family matters. Few noticed that in the VIP room by the window sat a charming young man with a Korean flair. His androgynous and trendy aura gave him the captivating charm of a Korean male celebrity. His graceful and handsome face always bore a professional smile, amiable and warm, exuding the gentle elegance of a refined gentleman, leaving people feeling like a refreshing spring breeze. However, when he suddenly saw a stretched Lincoln emblazoned with the words "Su’s Great Enterprise" appear at the entrance of Golden Supreme, a flash of spite suddenly crossed his always poised and composed eyes. Staring at the stranger holding Sophie’s arm, he couldn’t help but mutter, "Hmph, how can someone like you, a mere newcomer, be worthy of someone as dazzling as Sophie?" Just then, from behind, a sweetly charming voice called out unexpectedly, "Chen Shiwei, Young Master Chen, the person you are waiting for hasn’t arrived yet?" Chen Shiwei turned around and saw a graceful beauty slowly approaching with leisurely steps. As she moved, her curvaceous hips lifted the hem of her short skirt connected by black silk stockings, her every gesture displaying an elegant and noble aura. Her seemingly cold and arrogant pretty face initially resembled an ancient iceberg, but upon closer examination, one could detect countless enchanting allure beneath her demeanor, with a delicate and alluring aura hidden beneath her elegance, leaving one in awe! "Oh, it’s Miss Bao from the Huo Clan. Long time no see, Miss Bao’s presence is increasingly ethereal!" The person who came was indeed Huo Baolian, the eldest daughter of the Huo Family, the giant snake of the Pearl River Delta’s underground world. Even as the head of Wancheng’s most prominent family, the Chen Family, Chen Shiwei dared not be careless, paying due respect, especially since the Huo Family had organized the elite gatherings over the years! "Young Master Chen, are you waiting for someone? Might it be me you’re expecting?" Huo Baolian teased. "Miss Bao is astute, the one Chen is waiting for is indeed you, Bao Bao!" Little did he know, just moments ago, Huo Baolian’s face, like a gentle spring breeze, swiftly turned cold as she said, "The name ’Bao Bao’ is only for those close to me. Please be respectful, Young Master Chen!" Women can change faces faster than flipping pages, especially beautiful women! Chen Shiwei immediately showed a look of embarrassment, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry..." "Hehe, it’s nothing!" In an instant, Huo Baolian’s expression turned gentle again, making one marvel at how women’s emotions can change as unpredictably as the weather in June, fluctuating between sunny and cloudy unpredictably! "Young Master Chen, Baolian indeed came specifically to see you, but alas, I know that in your heart, even ten Baolian’s cannot compare to the importance of one Sophie! Hehe!" "No, no..." Chen Shiwei’s thoughts were seen through by the woman before him, immediately revealing an awkward expression. Before this unpredictable woman of the giant snake, the imposing demeanor he once had in business debates had vanished! "Young Master Chen, I heard that Sophie brought her fiancé to this event. Is it possible that Young Master Chen heard this news, became wildly jealous, and locked himself in a small dark room to stew in anger?" Again, she hit the nail on the head. This woman seemed to be Chen Shiwei’s nemesis! However, the shrewd mind of Eldest Young Master Chen was not one to wear his heart on his sleeve. He now chuckled as if this had nothing to do with him, born purely from joking or idle gossip! "There’s no such thing. President Su has such high standards; everyone in Wancheng knows it. My qualifications are truly inadequate to catch President Su’s eye." "Well, that’s good. Sophie has arrived, so as the host, I need to go welcome this mistress of the Pearl River Delta, Empress Yunhai. Would Young Master Chen like to join us?" "Miss Bao esteems Chen so much that Chen must oblige!" Chen Shiwei remained as gentle and graceful as ever, as if the earlier awkwardness and discomfort had never happened. Golden Supreme Hotel is one of the few five-star hotels in Wancheng. The hotel is luxurious and elegant, employing a European architectural style, surrounded by broad floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a panoramic view of Wancheng’s dazzling lights. The inside is resplendent, with large LED screens displaying vibrant scenes, a masterpiece of light and shadow! Countless guide beams of magical light project onto the walls inside and outside the hotel, creating a harmonious and wonderful world!

The hotel was packed with distinguished guests, with glasses clinking, laughter resounding, and the scent of champagne, various fruits, and cheeses filling the air. A wide array of delicious pastries and dishes were available for tasting, and fresh flowers, fragrant tea, assorted drinks were aplenty, dizzying the guests’ senses. Soft music began to play as countless graceful dancers twirled around. Of course, the gathered elite were stylish gentlemen, dancing gracefully with their partners or friends, exuberantly expressing the passion of youth. The graceful bodies, elegant dance poses, and dazzling silhouettes collectively created an unprecedented festive atmosphere. LV, Hermes, Patek Philippe, crocodile leather goods, Leo Chun fashion, these limited edition global brands flooded the venue, the shine from gold and diamonds dazzling everyone’s eyes! Additionally, the host offered special tobacco, champagne, aged Rafael wine, and royal pastries, all spread out before the VIP tables. Upper-class figures from all walks of life mingled, clinking glasses, and appreciating each other’s achievements. At this moment, as the star of this elite gathering, the affluent Su Group’s leader made a dazzling entrance, with Sophie’s name being loudly announced in the hall! "Welcome, Miss Su from Su’s Great Enterprise, to this gathering! The Su Group is a prestigious brand in Wancheng, a bridge and window for the world to know Huaxia..." Wow, the door to the gathering opened ceremoniously and slowly, and to everyone’s surprise, a somewhat dark-complexioned man strode in confidently! "Who is he?" "Oh, isn’t he President Su’s bodyguard?" ...
