Chapter 216: Neither Humble Nor Arrogant

Seeing the old man who had suddenly appeared, Xiao Yufan immediately reined in his flamboyance. He was quite accurate in judging people. When he noticed the sudden shift to respectful glances from the others, he understood that this person must hold an extremely high status.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the elderly man, Xiao Yufan instantly toned down his flamboyance. He was quite accurate in judging people, and when he noticed the sudden shift to respectful gazes from those around, he understood that this man held a very high status.

“The Situ family truly has a wealth of talent. With such a grandson, I imagine Situ Lingyu must be secretly delighted. No wonder this business fox hasn’t been seen much; he must have already retired in glory!”

Before Xiao Yufan could speak, the voice of the housekeeper, An, slowly spread out. Upon hearing the mention of his grandfather’s name, Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, then a faint smile appeared on his lips…

“Perhaps it’s because you, sir, also rarely make public appearances, so you haven’t had much interaction with my grandfather. As for retiring in glory, that’s not something I can claim yet. I haven’t reached my grandfather’s level and still have much more to achieve!”

Unwavering and without any trace of emotion in his voice, Xiao Yufan’s calm demeanor made An nod in approval. In his view, Xiao Yufan at least now possessed the qualifications to reach the pinnacle.

Exchanging a glance, the old and the young burst into hearty laughter simultaneously, while others looked on in awe, completely unaware of the unspoken understanding between the two…

Soon, the group of five was led into the manor. Observing the extravagant Western decor, Xiao Yufan realized that his previous assessment of the Wolong Villa had indeed been too low. He could hardly imagine that such a luxurious estate existed in Beijing.

“I hope Mr. Xiao can seize the opportunity at this financial summit. I am very willing to believe that the person our young lady favors must possess extraordinary capabilities…”

After leading Xiao Yufan and his companions into the manor, An did not intend to continue further. Turning to look at Xiao Yufan, he spoke with deep meaning.

“Young lady?” Xiao Yufan keenly caught the old man’s words and felt a surge of surprise. Could the young lady he mentioned have some connection with him?

Searching through his memories, Xiao Yufan’s consciousness slowly focused on a perfect figure, but he quickly dismissed the thought, which only deepened his confusion and curiosity.

“I was merely entrusted by an old friend to look after you, Mr. Xiao. Don’t overthink it. You should be well aware of the nature of this financial summit. Its importance is undeniable, and everything now depends on you…”

Clearing his throat and realizing a slip in his words, he quickly continued. However, this simple action sparked endless speculation in Xiao Yufan’s mind…

The financial summit was an opportunity for many, which is why even the Beijing Club didn’t want to miss it. Although they were the leaders in Beijing’s business scene, at this financial summit, they had no reason to be complacent.

It was known that the attendees of the financial summit were not only prominent figures from Beijing’s business circle but also representatives from various families and clans, all of whom were significant factors in the business world.

The appearance of the five in the crowd once again caused a stir, especially the four stunning beauties, whose presence could only be described as breathtaking. Even among these business tycoons, it was hard not to be distracted.

The women seemed accustomed to such gazes and showed no emotional fluctuation. Surrounded by them, Xiao Yufan attracted all the attention, becoming the focal point of the event. These people were not foolish; they could see the intricate connections between the women and Xiao Yufan, though the exact nature of these relationships was hard to determine…

“Isn’t that the new chairman of the Glorious Enterprise? He’s really as young as the rumors say. No wonder he’s surrounded by so many beauties!”

Someone exclaimed, once again thrusting Xiao Yufan into the spotlight. Although the title of chairman of Glorious wasn’t a major identity here, the Situ family behind Glorious was certainly enough to command respect.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the gathering, a pair of beautiful eyes quietly observed everything, a self-mocking smile quietly forming on her lips…

Seeing the sudden appearance of the old man, Xiao Yufan immediately toned down his flamboyance. He was quite accurate in judging people, and when he noticed the sudden shift to respectful gazes from those around, he understood that this man held a very high status.

“The Situ family truly has a wealth of talent. With such a grandson, I imagine Situ Lingyu must be secretly delighted. No wonder this business fox hasn’t been seen in public—he’s already retired with his achievements!”

Before Xiao Yufan could speak, the voice of the steward, An, slowly spread. Upon hearing the latter mention his grandfather’s name, Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, but then a faint smile appeared on his lips…

“Perhaps it’s because you, sir, also don’t appear often, so you haven’t had much interaction with my grandfather. As for retiring with achievements, that’s not something I can claim yet. I haven’t reached my grandfather’s level—there’s still much more for me to do!”

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no trace of emotion in Xiao Yufan’s voice. His calm and composed demeanor made Steward An nod in approval. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan at least now possessed the qualifications to reach the pinnacle.

The two, one old and one young, exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously burst into hearty laughter. The others, however, watched them with a mix of confusion and awe, completely unaware of the unspoken understanding between them…

Soon, the group of five was led into the manor. As Xiao Yufan took in the opulent Western decor, he realized that his previous assessment of the Wolong Villa had indeed been too modest. He could hardly imagine that such a luxurious estate existed in Beijing.

“I hope Young Master Xiao can seize the opportunity at this financial summit. And I am very willing to believe that the person our young lady favors must possess extraordinary abilities…”

After leading Xiao Yufan and the others into the manor, Steward An showed no intention of continuing further. Turning to look at Xiao Yufan, he spoke with a meaningful tone.

“Young lady?” Xiao Yufan keenly caught the old man’s words and immediately felt a sense of surprise. Could it be that the “young lady” he mentioned had some connection to him?

As he searched his memory for every possible figure, Xiao Yufan’s thoughts gradually settled on a perfect silhouette, but he quickly dismissed the idea. This only deepened his confusion and curiosity.

“I’m merely entrusted by an old friend to look after Young Master Xiao. You needn’t overthink it. The nature of this financial summit, you should be well aware of—its importance is self-evident. Everything now depends on you…”

Clearing his throat, Steward An realized a slip in his words and quickly continued. However, this simple action sparked endless speculation in Xiao Yufan’s mind…

The financial summit was an opportunity for many, which was why even the Beijing Club didn’t want to miss it. Although they were the leaders in Beijing’s business scene, at this financial summit, they had no grounds for arrogance.

After all, the attendees of the financial summit weren’t just prominent figures from Beijing’s business circles—there were also representatives from various families and clans. These were factors that couldn’t be ignored in the business world.

These people weren’t foolish—they could see the intricate connections between the women and Xiao Yufan, though the exact nature of those relationships was hard to determine…

“Isn’t that the new chairman of Brilliant Enterprise? He’s really as young as the rumors say. No wonder he’s surrounded by so many beauties!”

Someone’s exclamation once again thrust Xiao Yufan into the spotlight. While the title of Brilliant’s chairman wasn’t a particularly grand identity here, the Situ family behind Brilliant was more than enough to command respect.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the gathering, a pair of beautiful eyes quietly observed everything unfolding. A self-mocking smile quietly curved her lips…

“It’s probably because you rarely appear in public either, so you haven’t had much interaction with my grandfather. As for the idea of having achieved success and stepping back, that’s hardly applicable yet. I still haven’t reached my grandfather’s level, and there’s still much I need to accomplish!”

Seeing the old man suddenly appear, Xiao Yufan immediately toned down his flamboyance. He was quite accurate in judging people, and when he noticed the sudden respectful looks in their eyes, he understood that this man held a very high status.

“The Situ family truly has a wealth of talent. With such a grandson, I imagine Situ Lingyu must be secretly delighted. No wonder this business fox hasn’t been seen in public—he’s already retired!”

Before Xiao Yufan could speak, the voice of Butler An slowly spread out. Upon hearing the latter mention his grandfather’s name, Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips…

“Perhaps it’s because you, sir, also don’t often appear in public, so you haven’t had much interaction with my grandfather. As for retiring after achieving success, that’s not something I can claim yet. I haven’t reached my grandfather’s level and still have much more to do!”

Unwavering and composed, Xiao Yufan’s voice showed no trace of emotion, his calm demeanor earning a nod of approval from Butler An. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan at least now possessed the qualifications to reach the pinnacle.

Exchanging a glance, the old man and the young man almost simultaneously burst into hearty laughter, while the others looked on in confusion, completely unaware of the unspoken understanding between the two…

“I was merely entrusted by an old friend to look after Young Master Xiao. You needn’t overthink it. The nature of this financial summit, as you should know, is of great importance. The rest is up to you…”

Clearing his throat and realizing a slip in his words, he quickly continued. However, this simple action sparked endless speculation in Xiao Yufan’s mind…

The financial summit was an opportunity for many, which was why even the Beijing Club didn’t want to miss it. Although they were the leading force in Beijing’s business scene, they had no reason to be arrogant at this summit.

It was worth noting that the attendees of the financial summit included not only prominent figures from Beijing’s business circle but also representatives from various families and clans, all of whom were significant factors in the business world.

As the five of them appeared among the crowd, they once again caused a stir, especially the four stunning beauties, whose presence could only be described as breathtaking. Even the business tycoons present couldn’t help but feel a stir in their hearts.

The women seemed accustomed to such gazes and showed no emotional reaction. Xiao Yufan, surrounded by them, became the center of attention. His appearance immediately made him the focal point, and while it was clear that the women were closely connected to him, the exact nature of their relationship remained unclear…

“Isn’t that the new chairman of Brilliant Enterprises? He really is as young as the rumors say. No wonder he has so many beauties around him!”

Someone exclaimed, once again drawing everyone’s attention to Xiao Yufan. While the title of Brilliant Enterprises’ chairman wasn’t particularly significant here, the Situ family behind Brilliant was more than enough to command respect.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the gathering, a pair of beautiful eyes quietly observed everything, a self-mocking smile quietly forming on her lips…

The two—one old, one young—exchanged glances, and almost simultaneously burst into hearty laughter. The others, however, looked on in confusion, completely unaware of what the two had silently understood between them…

Upon seeing the elderly man who had suddenly appeared, Xiao Yufan immediately toned down his flamboyance. He was quite adept at reading people, and when he noticed the sudden shift to respectful gazes from those around him, he understood that this man held a position of great esteem.

“The Situ family truly has a lineage of talent. With such a grandson, I imagine Situ Lingyu must be secretly delighted. No wonder this business fox has been keeping a low profile; it seems he has already retired with his achievements!”

Before Xiao Yufan could speak, the voice of the butler, An, slowly spread through the room. Hearing the latter mention his grandfather’s name, Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, but then a faint smile appeared on his lips…

“Perhaps it’s because you, sir, also rarely make public appearances, so you haven’t had much interaction with my grandfather. As for retiring with achievements, that’s not something I can claim yet. I haven’t reached the level of my grandfather and still have much more to accomplish!”

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no trace of emotion in Xiao Yufan’s voice. His calm and composed demeanor made Butler An nod in approval. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan at least possessed the qualifications to reach the pinnacle.

Soon, the group of five was led into the manor. As Xiao Yufan took in the opulent Western decor, he realized that his previous assessment of the Wolong Villa had been somewhat lacking. He could hardly believe that such a luxurious estate existed in Beijing.

“I hope Mr. Xiao can seize the opportunity presented by this financial summit. And I am quite willing to believe that the person our young lady favors must possess extraordinary abilities…”

After leading Xiao Yufan and his companions into the manor, Butler An showed no intention of continuing further. Turning to look at Xiao Yufan, he spoke with a meaningful tone.

The women seemed accustomed to such gazes and showed no emotional reaction. Xiao Yufan, surrounded by them, became the center of attention. His appearance immediately made him the focal point, and while it was clear that the women were connected to him in some way, the exact nature of their relationships remained a mystery…

“Isn’t that the new chairman of Brilliant Enterprises? He really is as young as the rumors say, no wonder he has so many beauties around him!”

Someone exclaimed, once again thrusting Xiao Yufan into the spotlight. While the title of chairman of Brilliant Enterprises wasn’t particularly significant here, the Situ family behind Brilliant was more than enough to command respect.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the gathering, a pair of beautiful eyes quietly observed everything, a self-mocking smile playing on her lips…

“I hope Master Xiao can seize the opportunity of this financial summit. And I’m more than willing to believe that someone chosen by the young miss must possess extraordinary abilities…”

Upon seeing the elderly man who had suddenly appeared, Xiao Yufan immediately toned down his flamboyance. He was quite astute at reading people, and when he noticed the sudden shift to respectful gazes from those around, he understood that this man held a very high status.

“The Situ family truly has a wealth of talent. With such a grandson, I imagine Situ Lingyu must be secretly delighted. No wonder this business fox hasn’t been seen in public; he must have already retired with his achievements!”

After leading Xiao Yufan and the others into the manor, Butler An showed no intention of continuing further. Turning to look at Xiao Yufan, he spoke with deep meaning.

“Young lady?” Xiao Yufan keenly caught the old man’s words and felt a surge of surprise. Could the young lady he mentioned have some connection with him?

Searching through his memories of everyone he knew, Xiao Yufan’s consciousness slowly settled on a perfect figure, but he quickly dismissed the thought, which only deepened his confusion and bewilderment.

“I was merely entrusted by an old friend to look after Young Master Xiao. You needn’t overthink it. The nature of this financial summit, you should be well aware of its importance. The rest is up to you…”

Clearing his throat and realizing a slip in his words, he quickly continued. However, this simple action sparked endless speculation in Xiao Yufan’s mind…

The financial summit was an opportunity for many, which is why even the Beijing Club didn’t miss out. Although they were the leader in Beijing’s business scene, at this financial summit, they had no grounds for arrogance.

It was important to note that the attendees of the financial summit weren’t just prominent figures from Beijing’s business circle, but also representatives from various families and clans, who were also significant factors in the business world.

The appearance of the five in the crowd once again caused a stir, especially the four stunning beauties, whose effect could only be described as breathtaking. Even among these business tycoons, it was hard not to feel a bit distracted.

The women seemed accustomed to such gazes and showed no emotional fluctuation. Xiao Yufan, surrounded in the center, garnered all the attention. His presence immediately made him the focal point, and it was clear to everyone that the women had intricate connections with him, though the exact nature of these relationships was hard to determine…

“Perhaps it’s because you, sir, also don’t often appear in public, so you haven’t had much interaction with my grandfather. As for retiring with achievements, that’s not something I can claim yet. I’m far from reaching my grandfather’s level—there’s still much more I need to do.”

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no trace of emotion in Xiao Yufan’s voice. His calm and composed demeanor made Butler An nod repeatedly. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan at least now possessed the qualifications to reach the pinnacle.

The two, one old and one young, exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously burst into hearty laughter. The others, however, looked at them with a mix of confusion and awe, completely unaware of what they were communicating…

Soon, the group of five was led into the manor. As Xiao Yufan took in the extravagant Western decor, he realized that his previous assessment of the Wolong Villa had indeed been too modest. He could hardly imagine that such a luxurious estate existed in Beijing.

“I hope Young Master Xiao can seize the opportunity at this financial summit. And I’m very willing to believe that the person the young lady has taken a liking to must possess extraordinary abilities…”

After leading Xiao Yufan and the others into the manor, Butler An didn’t seem inclined to continue. He turned to look at Xiao Yufan and spoke with a meaningful tone.

“Young lady?” Xiao Yufan keenly caught the old man’s words and felt a surge of surprise. Could the young lady he mentioned have some connection to him?

As he searched his memory for every possible person, Xiao Yufan’s thoughts gradually settled on a perfect figure, but he quickly dismissed the idea. This only deepened his confusion and curiosity.

“I’m merely acting on the request of an old friend to look after Young Master Xiao. You needn’t overthink it. The nature of this financial summit, as you’re well aware, is of great importance. The rest is up to you…”

Clearing his throat, realizing a slip in his words, he quickly continued. But this simple action alone sparked endless speculation in Xiao Yufan’s mind…

The financial summit was an opportunity for many, which was why even the Beijing Club didn’t want to miss it. Though they were the leaders in Beijing’s business scene, they had no reason to be arrogant at such an event.

After all, the attendees of the financial summit weren’t just prominent figures from Beijing’s business circles—there were also representatives from various families and clans, all of whom were significant players in the business world.

As the five of them appeared in the crowd, they caused quite a stir. The four stunning beauties, in particular, brought an effect that could only be described as breathtaking. Even among these business tycoons, it was hard not to feel a flutter of distraction.

The women seemed accustomed to such gazes and showed no emotional reaction. Xiao Yufan, however, standing in the center, became the focal point of attention. His appearance immediately drew everyone’s focus. These people weren’t fools—they could see the intricate connections between the women and Xiao Yufan, though the exact nature of those relationships was hard to pin down…

“Isn’t that the new chairman of Brilliant Enterprises? He’s really as young as the rumors say. No wonder he’s surrounded by such beauties!”

Someone’s exclamation once again thrust Xiao Yufan into the spotlight. While the title of Brilliant’s chairman wasn’t particularly significant here, the Situ family behind Brilliant was more than enough to command respect.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the gathering, a pair of beautiful eyes quietly observed everything, a self-mocking smile quietly forming on her lips…

Racking his brain through every memory, Xiao Yufan’s thoughts momentarily settled on a certain perfect figure. But soon he dismissed the idea, which only deepened his confusion.

“I merely promised an old friend to look after you, Master Xiao. You needn’t think too much into it. You should already understand the nature of this financial summit. Its importance goes without saying—it all depends on you now…”

Coughing dryly, realizing the slip in his words, he hastily continued speaking. Yet such a simple action only sparked endless speculation in Xiao Yufan’s mind…

The financial summit represented an opportunity for many. No wonder even the Capital Club didn’t want to miss it. Although it stood at the pinnacle of Beijing’s business world, at this summit, they had no grounds for arrogance.

After all, those attending the financial summit weren’t just influential figures within Beijing’s business circles, but also included representatives from certain families and aristocratic clans—key players in the business world that couldn’t be ignored.

The five of them appearing together among the crowd once again stirred a wave of commotion, especially the four peerless beauties, whose presence could only be described as breathtaking. Even in this gathering of business magnates, many couldn’t help but feel their hearts flutter.

The women seemed accustomed to such stares, showing no emotional reaction. The real attention-grabber at the center, however, was Xiao Yufan, who immediately became the focus of everyone’s gaze. These people weren’t fools; they naturally recognized the subtle connections between the beauties and Xiao Yufan, though they hesitated to guess the exact nature of those relationships…

“Isn’t that the new chairman of Glory Enterprise? So he’s really as young as the rumors say. No wonder he’s surrounded by so many beauties!”

Upon seeing the elderly man who had suddenly appeared, Xiao Yufan immediately toned down his flamboyance. He was quite adept at reading people, and when he noticed the sudden shift to respectful gazes from those around, he understood that this man held a position of great esteem.

“The Situ family truly has a wealth of talent. With such a grandson, I imagine Situ Lingyu must be secretly delighted. No wonder this business fox hasn’t been seen much; he must have already retired with his achievements!”

Unwavering and without any discernible emotion in his voice, Xiao Yufan’s calm demeanor earned a nod of approval from Butler An. In his view, Xiao Yufan at least now possessed the qualifications to reach the pinnacle.

Exchanging a glance, the old man and the young man burst into hearty laughter almost simultaneously, leaving the others bewildered, completely unaware of the unspoken understanding between the two…

Someone’s exclamation once again thrust Xiao Yufan into the spotlight. Although the title of Brilliant’s chairman wasn’t a major identity here, the Situ family behind Brilliant was certainly noteworthy.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the gathering, a pair of beautiful eyes quietly observed everything, a self-mocking smile quietly forming on her lips…

At this moment, in a quiet corner of the venue, a pair of beautiful eyes silently watched everything unfold, her lips curling into a faint, self-mocking smile…
