Huaguo Grand Hotel.

The Huaguo Grand Hotel is located in the Beijing Business Center District and is managed by the Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. It has hosted dozens of heads of state and government leaders. Every year, it hosts hundreds of high-profile political and business guests, organizing numerous large-scale international business events, earning the nickname "the second state guesthouse."

The fact that it can bear the name of Hua Country and is so renowned shows the high-end status of this hotel.

However, at this moment, both the kitchen and service systems of the Huaguo Grand Hotel were fully operational.

Just a few minutes ago, a dozen of Hua Country's top business moguls had all arrived. Even occasionally having one of these magnates visit would draw immense attention, but now, so many of them were arriving together.

It's no exaggeration to say that the combined wealth of this group of moguls could influence the entire economy of Hua Country.

Outside the most exclusive suite in the Huaguo Grand Hotel.

All the bodyguards of the moguls were on high alert, with more than ten burly men in suits occupying the corridor, while the staff on the other side were trembling slightly at the sight.

Some staff who were not aware of the situation couldn't help whispering to the manager, "Manager, who are these people inside the suite? Even when we hosted foreign guests, it wasn't like this."

The manager turned his head and glared at the female staff member.

"Keep it to yourself, don't ask random questions."

Since the Huaguo Grand Hotel often hosts top figures from various sectors of society, confidentiality is a basic rule in staff training, so it's understandable that the manager was being cautious. With so many moguls gathering, who knows if it might attract attention. If word got out through their hotel and they were held accountable by the tycoons, the first to suffer would be him.

It wasn't long before the hotel's general manager came up with a young man in a black Zhongshan suit.

This usually serious and steady general manager wore a sycophantic smile that was seldom seen, one that the staff remembered he last showed when welcoming a high-ranking official.

However, when the staff saw the face of the young man, they instantly knew that the general manager's sycophancy was entirely appropriate.

This young man was none other than Gu Bai, who had just been named one of the top ten young leaders by the Hua Country Gala.

"Chairman Gu, President Wang and the others are waiting for you inside."

The general manager guided Gu Bai, speaking in a respectful tone.

Gu Bai looked straight ahead, not making many movements, just slightly nodding to acknowledge briefly.

Meanwhile, the line of staff all looked at Gu Bai with their hearts racing, hoping that Gu Bai might turn and glance at them.

All the staff at the Huaguo Grand Hotel were carefully selected, their appearance and figures superior to those of most ordinary women. Facing ordinary men, they might feel a sense of superiority, but facing Gu Bai, they didn't dare to have even a bit of thought. If Gu Bai would just pay them a bit of attention, it would leave them overjoyed.

After all, this young man could be called the most outstanding man among Hua Country's 20-year-old youth, bar none.

The corridor was not long, and the hotel's general manager soon escorted Gu Bai to the end where the suite was located.

The manager gently knocked on the door, and only after receiving a response from inside did he slowly open the suite's redwood door.

After opening the door for Gu Bai, he stood respectfully to the side.

"Chairman Gu, please."

Gu Bai nodded again, then said softly to him, "Arrange a rest room for my bodyguard."

After speaking, without waiting for a reaction, he stepped straight into the suite.

The hotel's general manager, like a service employee, dutifully closed the door softly behind Gu Bai.

Upon seeing Gu Bai enter, the most enthusiastic was Ma Yun, who stood up and said, "Chairman Gu, we thought you might take a while longer to arrive, didn't expect you to come so quickly."

Initially expressionless, Gu Bai's face broke into a smile, "Since this is an informal gathering, there's no need for you all to call me Chairman Gu. Principal Wang and I are good friends, and we're about the same age, so I'm considered your junior, just call me by my name."

The group of moguls exchanged glances, then Boss Huateng spoke.

"I have a daughter who's a few years older than Gu Bai; given the seniority, you wouldn't lose out calling me Uncle Hua."

"In that case, let's not be so formal, call everyone what you like, right, Old Wang?"

Xu Jiayin was also nudging Wang Jianling beside him with a smile.

The dinner currently felt exceptionally harmonious.

Wang Jianling also smiled and waved Gu Bai over, "Alright, come on over and sit, Gu Bai."

Gu Bai looked at the spot Wang Jianling indicated; it was right at the intersection of the two groups of moguls, with Boss Huateng on the left and the wealthiest Wang Jianling on the right, undoubtedly the prime seat.

He immediately declined, "I'm not suited to sit in that spot, you are all elders, how could I possibly take that seat? Sitting with Principal Wang is fine."

Boss Huateng also smiled broadly, "That's where you're wrong. Tonight, that seat is destined for you; besides you, no one else has the qualification to sit there, because everyone here tonight is seeking your help."

Wang Jianling: "Exactly, let Siming sit at the end alone; tonight, it won't be his turn to speak."

Principal Wang: "???

Principal Wang initially didn't want to attend this occasion, but he couldn't refuse Wang Jianling's request, who assured him that his presence would make Gu Bai feel less restrained. However, he didn't expect to be humiliated before the dinner even started, and even more so, by his own father.
