Inside the hall, a number of brightly dressed successful individuals were engaging in conversations. Each of them was impeccably dressed in suits, wearing high-end brands, looking distinguished, and most were accompanied by a lady in an evening gown.

Clearly, this was a very high-end gathering, and those who could attend were all well-known entrepreneurs from Jiangnan City.

"General Manager Wang, long time no see."

"Chairman Zhao, we should definitely strengthen the cooperation between our two companies."

"General Manager Zhou, I heard your company is about to go public soon, congratulations."

"..."

At this moment, these sharply dressed successful individuals were holding glasses of red wine, gathering in small groups, chatting with one another.

Some business collaborations were tentatively proposed during these casual conversations over drinks.

Thus, for gatherings like this, these executives would make time to attend even if they were busy, as reaching an initial agreement could eventually lead to a contract, which would be beneficial for their company. Additionally, it's also a networking opportunity.

At this moment, in the hall, Luo Guangwei was holding a glass of red wine, smiling as he moved around the hall.

Beside him was a woman with a curvaceous figure, a third-rate star he had recently started keeping.

"Chairman Luo, Luo's authentic Immortal Orange Wine is famous throughout Jiangnan, pleasure to meet you."

A middle-aged man said to Luo Guangwei.

"Haha, President Huang, you're flattering me."

Luo Guangwei smiled slightly and said.

However, deep in his eyes, the pride was hard to conceal. Since he began producing Immortal Orange Wine, his wealth had surged dramatically.

As a matter of fact, he really owed it to that little bastard.

On that day, not only was he fed shattered porcelain at Feipu Manor by that little bastard, but his legs were broken, clothes stripped, and thrown out of the mountain villa.

He, Luo Guangwei, had never been treated like this before. Later he went to find the people from the Bordeaux Clan, but those from the Bordeaux Clan were truly useless, as they hadn't been able to take care of that guy after so long.

Further ahead, with the explosive popularity of Immortal Orange Wine, Luo Guangwei decided to make counterfeit Immortal Orange Wine, and once implemented, the money came rolling in.

"Chairman Luo, don't be modest. In a couple of months, I'm sure your name will be on this year's Huaxia Forbes list."

The middle-aged man, referred to as President Huang by Luo Guangwei, laughed as he said this.

Although many wealthy people knew that while Luo Guangwei's Immortal Orange Wine was called "authentic Immortal Orange Wine," it wasn't the real Immortal Orange Wine. These wealthy folks understood that the real Immortal Orange Wine was produced by Feipu Manor.

However, in this era, people laugh at poverty, not at trickery. Luo Guangwei had the skill to produce low-priced Immortal Orange Wine, monopolizing a large market share, and that was his capability.

"Haha, President Huang, your chain of hotels is all over the country, any interest in collaboration?"

Luo Guangwei laughed loudly and said.

As he spoke, one of Luo Guangwei's large hands was wrapped around the waist of the third-rate starlet beside him.

"Then Chairman Luo must offer the best price."

Upon hearing this, President Huang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.

Although he knew in his heart that the "authentic Immortal Orange Wine" produced under Luo Guangwei wasn't the real deal, what did it matter, the key was to make money.

"Absolutely, absolutely."

Luo Guangwei said with a proud smile, envisioning his wealth pouring in.

Meanwhile, as the two of them were laughing and chatting, outside the hotel doors, a luxury stretch Lincoln limousine pulled up at the entrance, and a middle-aged man, escorted by several bodyguards, walked into the hotel lobby.

"Mr. Xu is here."

"It's true, Mr. Xu has arrived."

"..."

The guests who had been talking amongst themselves immediately stopped their conversations and turned to look at the entrance.

The Mr. Xu they were talking about was named Xu Xinghan. Since the grandfather's generation, the Xu Family had been a leading wealthy family in Jiangnan, and with the fortune passed down to Xu Xinghan, the amassed wealth had grown even larger, making him indisputably one of Jiangnan Province's richest.

The Xu Family's companies were involved in real estate, hotels, films, and several other fields. They held a significant position not only in Jiangnan's business circles but also had substantial influence throughout Huaxia. Business executives took pride in being able to know Xu Xinghan.

Under the gaze of everyone, a graceful middle-aged man smiled as he walked into the hall, followed by a young man and a woman who were his guards.

"Mr. Xu, good to see you."

"Mr. Xu, you look as impressive as ever."

"..."

The crowd immediately moved forward to greet him.

"Hello, everyone."

Xu Xinghan said with a smile, exuding an elegant and easy-going demeanor, full of charisma.

On the side, Luo Guangwei downed his glass of red wine in one go, his eyes gleaming with a passionate ambition. Hmph, one day, he too, would reach such a level.

Gatherings of wealthy entrepreneurs were naturally not just about drinking red wine and chatting. The theme of this banquet was a charity gala.

During the gala, some items would be auctioned off. Some celebrities would donate their belongings, or some wealthy attendees would auction off their collections, with the proceeds being donated.

Of course, in such charity auctions, some wealthy individuals would bid on one or two items. After all, such events would make it to the news, giving them a good reputation.

The arrival of Xu Xinghan signaled the official start of the gala, underscoring his status in Jiangnan Province.

After the gala began, a female host in an evening gown took the stage, and the first auction item was a Qing Dynasty porcelain piece, with a rather nice shape.

Some interested wealthy individuals bid eagerly, and the price easily broke through the ten thousand mark.

Although these auction items were not the most high-end, occasionally there were treasures. More importantly, if they fancied something, these wealthy individuals wouldn't be stingy.

"Boring."

In one corner of the hall, Luo Guangwei shook his head, finding it incredibly dull. Then, he glanced at the third-rate starlet beside him. After drinking some red wine earlier, he felt a need to relieve himself.

"Let's go, accompany me to the bathroom."

Luo Guangwei said, and then wrapped his arm around the starlet's waist and headed for the restroom.

As Luo Guangwei walked toward the restroom entrance, a youth with a sinister face followed him from the shadows.

Ever since suffering losses at Feipu Manor, Luo Guangwei spent a large sum of money and two rare herbs to hire this young man as his guard from an assassin company.

The young man was sensible enough, not appearing unless Luo Guangwei wanted him to, ready to show up when needed with just a call.

Jiangnan Grand Hotel's restrooms were naturally luxurious beyond compare. As they reached the restroom entrance, a leering glint appeared in Luo Guangwei's eyes.

"Wenwen, you come in too. We've never done it in a restroom before."

Luo Guangwei said.

The third-rate starlet named Wenwen smiled without showing any dissatisfaction, but she couldn't mess around with Luo Guangwei in such a place. She still had dreams of becoming a big star, and if someone captured them in the act, it would be a blemish on her record even after she became famous.

"Oh dear, Chairman Luo, there are other people here."

Wenwen immediately coquettishly said.
