‘Right, Qinghan is also from the Shu Family, according to age, she should be Shu Jie, one of the so-called Four Young Masters of Binhai’s younger sister… I wonder how Qinghan is doing now.’
“Little Long, amongst the Four Young Masters of Binhai, Gao Tianxiang is renowned for being arrogant and domineering. As for Shu Jie, he is known to possess some talent,” Cui Feiyan patiently explained.
“The four major families of Binhai; the Shu Family boasts the strongest financial power. Shu Group, its presence in Binhai is immense, even nationally, it holds great influence.”
“Put it this way, Shu Group is the biggest listed company in Binhai, with the highest market value. And the industries that the Shu Family is involved in are very diverse including auction houses, jewelry, real estate, entertainment, catering, online literature…”
“Shu Jie, he is the CEO of the Shu Enterprise’s Jewelry Company! It is said that he is a master at gambling with stones and he himself is a master jade carver… In short, he is quite a talented person…”
“Oh? This is called talented?” Huang Xiaolong was somewhat speechless.
Good God, it’s nothing more than understanding some techniques of gambling with stones, being able to carve some jewelry; that’s nothing special!
At this point, Shu Jie walked over, his gaze greedily swept over Cui Feiyan’s exquisite figure, projecting a sense of possessiveness.
Being one of the Four Young Masters of Binhai and the outstanding figure among the Shu Family’s younger generation, Shu Jie had no formal girlfriend, therefore he was considered one of the most eligible bachelors in Binhai.
Countless ladies from wealthy families, dreamed of marrying him.
But Shu Jie held his head high, his standards for a life partner, were extremely high!
Cui Feiyan! He didn’t often see a woman in Binhai who caught his eye!
In Shu Jie’s eyes, Cui Feiyan’s face was delicate, her skin tender and white, her demeanor noble, her figure was impeccable, and she managed a family business worth billions in market value.
She barely qualified to be Shu Jie’s woman.
Of course, not as his main wife, but a concubine would be more appropriate.
“Mr. Shu, hello,” Cui Feiyan politely greeted.
“Mr. Shu…Hello,” Boss Miao hardly dared to breathe.
“Hmm, Mr. Miao, remember to come early to tonight’s charity auction dinner,” Shu Jie casually glanced at Boss Miao, a hint of disdain in his eyes. Then, without further ado, his gaze moved back to Cui Feiyan, staring at her stunningly delicate face.
“Feiyan, I heard your company had some issues.” Shu Jie smiled, “Cash flow problems?”
“This…” Cui Feiyan frowned slightly. “Many thanks for your concern, Mr. Shu. However, this is an internal issue of our company, I believe we will find a solution.”
“Hahaha Feiyan, your confidence is a good thing.” Shu Jie laughed, but his eyes held a hint of disdain. “By the way, Feiyan, didn’t you receive an invitation to the charity auction dinner hosted by our Shu Family tonight?”
Hearing these words, Cui Feiyan’s expression cooled a little, she was somewhat displeased.
The so-called charity auction dinner is a top-tier social gathering in Binhai’s upper crust.
Hosted by the Shu Family, one of the four major families, it invited the top figures from the business and political circles of Binhai.
However, Cui Feiyan had not received an invitation!
Theoretically, as a leading player among Binhai’s private enterprises, the Cui Group should have a representative in attendance.
However, ever since Cui Dong stepped back from the frontline, Cui Feiyan took over the family business. Despite her early successes, many people still doubted her ability!
After all, she’s quite young and a woman…
Moreover, the Cui Group encountered significant difficulties while exploring new projects. The capital shortage is quite severe, if the group can’t survive this, it will collapse!
Therefore, after evaluation, Shu’s Family had not sent an invitation to Cui Feiyan.
Being a stubborn girl, Cui Feiyan took it as a huge insult and vowed to make Cui Group grow stronger then slap those who looked down on her in the face!
Today, Shu Jie, right in the face of Cui Feiyan, brought it up; it’s undoubtedly throwing salt on Cui Feiyan’s wound!
“Mr. Shu, unfortunately, I didn’t receive the invitation.” Cui Feiyan was indifferent.
“Hahahaha What a pity.” Shu Jie pretended to shake his head regretfully: “Feiyan, I have some understanding of the current predicament of your company. If you could attend tonight’s dinner, you could meet many politicians, officials, bankers, wealthy businessmen…Perhaps getting you out of this predicament… It’s a shame, it’s a shame… By the way, Feiyan, I have extra invitations… Hehehe…”
Between the lines, there was a veiled insinuation!
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, Cui Feiyan knew this, so she promptly responded: “Mr. Shu, forget it. Since I was not invited, I will not beg for anything. One should never lose their dignity.”
Truth to be told, Cui Feiyan really wanted to attend the dinner. Not only could it potentially offer a solution to her problem, but it could also benefit the development of the Cui Group significantly.
However, if she had to fawn over someone or even sacrifice her dignity for an invite, she could not do it!
“Hmm?” Shu Jie did not expect Cui Feiyan to be so stubborn, his face darkened at once, chuckling coldly: “Feiyan, Binhai is a grand battlefield of fame and fortune. We are surviving in the most top-tier and competitive battlefield… many people are fighting hard, scrambling upwards in pursuit of fame and material gain… Feiyan, are you aware of how many people dream of receiving an invitation from our Shu Family? Well, we are all business people, I’ll give you a chance to become my woman, and provide you with an invitation, I can even help you plug the gap in your cash-flow! When I, Shu Jie make a decision I don’t procrastinate, I’ll give you a five-minute window to consider!”
Shu Jie held his head high, his tone was full of condescension!
“Pfft an invitation is worth nothing!” Huang Xiaolong finally lost his patience. “Wielding a chicken feather as a token of authority! What charity auction? If you were to invite me, I wouldn’t even care. Feiyan, ignore him. If you really want to attend that dinner, I’ll take you.”
“Huh?” Cui Feiyan was confused by Huang Xiaolong’s words.
‘Little Long, are you providing me with an invitation to the charity auction hosted by the Shu Family? Do you have an invitation? No! It’s impossible! So, how will you take me there? You must be bragging!’
“Who are you?” Hearing Huang Xiaolong’s defiant words, Shu Jie gave him a cold glance, when he observed Huang Xiaolong’s outfit, he burst into mocking laughter: “What dream are you selling? You’ll take Feiyan to tonight’s dinner? It seems, our Shu Family didn’t send an invitation to someone like you, did we!”
“Yes, I didn’t get any invitation, but I can still go,” said Huang Xiaolong earnestly.
