In France, Europe, on the glamorous Champs-Élysées, sat an incredibly opulent building. Beside it stood the Louis Vuitton Tower, a Cartier boutique, and various other high-fashion brands. This building was called the Cheryl Building, headquarters to a very famous local conglomerate. The Cheryl Group's businesses spanned across the world, covering various domains, and most of their ventures were closely linked with art. Relying on these, they had established a vast business empire, even ranking among the top 100 companies in the former world. The global peak art exhibition this time was a project they had crafted over a year, into which they had poured an unknown amount of human and material resources. Just managing to get the "Mona Lisa" from the Louvre had already consumed a considerable amount of resources. This touring exhibition would pass through over fifty countries and hundreds of cities. If they could complete it, it was expected to bring them several billion US dollars in direct revenue, not to mention the impact on other brand effects and cultural influence, which was immeasurable in terms of money. The company placed great importance on this project from top to bottom. "Audra, which country has the tour reached now?" Mossang, the CEO of the Cheryl Group, asked as he looked down at the glamourous Champs-Élysées from behind the glass. "Boss, it has now reached Huaxia. Today is the second day of the exhibition." "How is the financial report?" "So far, we have completed exhibitions in 12 countries, selling a total of 142 pieces of artwork; one-third of those were purchased by clients from Huaxia." "Huaxia indeed is a place of remarkable people and spirit," Mossang mused. "Boss, why do you say that? They are just a developing country." "Ha, Audra, you are still too young. Huaxia is a very mysterious country. If you only know the tip of the iceberg about it, you will understand just how unfathomably deep it really is." "Oh? Can you tell me about it?" "There are too many stories about Huaxia, but what most impacted me was a young Huaxian I met over twenty years ago," Mossang recounted, as if he remembered the fear of being dominated. "Is there someone that made such a deep impression on you?" "Have you heard about an auction held in Europe in '99, during the Century Auctions?" "You mean that one where the total transaction amount broke historical records by ten times?" "Exactly!" Mossang nodded. "You know, not a single item at that auction was passed on, yet still, it's impossible for the maximum amount to exceed the historical auction records by ten times!" "Were you at that auction?" "Ha, at that time, our Cheryl Group had just started, and I was merely joining in for the excitement," Mossang said. "Do you know why such a thing happened?" "Sorry, boss, I can't imagine it."Nôv(el)B\\jnn "They have all been transferred to our account." "The reason?" "I don't quite understand, something was mentioned about the Bradley family..." "What? Say that again?" Mossang's face showed fear as if he had heard a ghost story. "The... the Bradley family..." "Why?" Mossang's lips quivered slightly, "I have never provoked the Bradley family, why would they target the Sheryl Group?" "Boss, is the Bradley family that powerful? How come I have never heard of them?" Seeing Mossang's expression, Audra sank into deep thought, this was the first time she had ever seen her boss so alarmed. "Not just powerful," Mossang said with a bitter smile, "If the Bradley family stomps their foot, the whole of Europe feels an earthquake. They can even make a beggar become the president of any European country if they wish! Their power is beyond imagination." Audra's mouth dropped open, disbelief thick in her eyes, could a single family really do such a thing? Could they be the emperors of Europe? Even if Mossang racked his brains, he could not imagine the cause of such serious consequences was merely triggered by a minor employee in their company. "Investigate! I want you to find out which staff member in this exhibition tour has offended someone from the Bradley family!" It was clear that the target was this tour exhibition, so the cause must relate to it as well. "Yes, boss, I'll start investigating right away!" ... At that time, it had been less than ten minutes since they were at the Gusu International Convention and Exhibition Center. "Manager, something's happened!" Bruce was pondering how to resolve the issue, but Zhang Menglong had already completely lost interest in talking to him. "What's the big fuss about?" Bruce was in distress, and someone coming to him at this time was just adding insult to injury. "Just now, the head of the Gusu International Convention and Exhibition Center called us, they want to terminate our collaboration, telling us to clear out all our stuff and personnel within half an hour, or they will take forcible measures to expel us!" "How could this be?" Bruce was so surprised that he was speechless. This international convention isn't a private entity; it's a building of the Gusu Cultural Bureau, a national structure, even with Zhang Menglong's capabilities, how could he possibly influence people within the system? And forcibly evacuating in half an hour? That's certainly not something ordinary measures could achieve! Zhang Menglong showed a cryptic smile; their family had been around for 5000 years, and they possessed much more than just wealth...
