Chapter 216: Neither Humble Nor Arrogant

Seeing the old man who had suddenly appeared, Xiao Yufan instantly reined in his flamboyance. He was very accurate in judging people; when he noticed the sudden shift to respectful glances from those around, he understood that this person must hold an extremely high status.

The House of Situ truly continues to produce talents. With such a grandson, I can imagine that Situ Lingyu must be secretly delighted. No wonder the spiritual fox of the business world hasn’t been seen around lately—it turns out she’s already retired successfully!

Before Xiao Yufan could speak,管家 An’s voice slowly echoed out. Upon hearing the mention of his grandfather’s name, Xiao Yufan was first taken aback, then a faint smile appeared on his lips…

“It might be because you rarely appear publicly yourself, so you haven’t interacted much with my grandfather. As for retiring after achieving success, that’s not even worth discussing. I still haven’t reached my grandfather’s level and have much more to accomplish!”

Calm and composed, Xiao Yufan’s voice revealed no trace of emotion. His imperturbable demeanor earned yet another approving nod from Butler An. In the latter’s eyes, at the very least, Xiao Yufan now possessed the qualifications to set foot upon the pinnacle.

The two—one old, one young—exchanged glances and almost simultaneously burst into hearty laughter. The others looked on, puzzled yet sensing an unspoken understanding between them…

Soon, the group of five was led into the mansion. As Xiao Yufan laid eyes on the extravagant Western-style decorations, he realized he had indeed underestimated Wolong Villa. He could hardly believe that such a luxurious estate still existed, hidden somewhere in Beijing.

“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…”

After leading Xiao Yufan and the others into the mansion, Steward An showed no intention of proceeding further. He turned his head slightly, casting a glance at Xiao Yufan while speaking with subtle, meaningful undertones.

“The young miss?” Xiao Yufan敏锐ly caught the old man’s words, instantly feeling a tinge of surprise. Could it be that the “young miss” the old man mentioned had something to do with him?

Racking his mind through the images of people, Xiao Yufan’s thoughts gradually focused on a certain perfect feminine figure, but he quickly dismissed the idea. This only deepened his confusion further.

“I merely promised an old friend to look after you, Master Xiao. Don’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…”

Letting out a dry cough and realizing the slip in his words, he quickly continued speaking. Yet just this simple action triggered endless speculation in Xiao Yufan’s mind…

The financial summit represented an opportunity for many. No wonder even the Beijing Club didn’t want to miss it. Although it was the leading business organization in Beijing’s commercial circles, it still had no grounds for arrogance at this summit.

One must know that those attending this financial summit weren’t just influential figures in Beijing’s business world, but also representatives from certain aristocratic families and powerful clans—key players in the business arena that couldn’t be ignored.

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

The ladies seemed accustomed to such looks, showing no emotional reaction. However, the surrounding attention was all focused on Xiao Yufan at the center. He immediately became the focus of everyone present. These people weren’t fools; naturally, they could see the close relationships between the ladies and Xiao Yufan, though they couldn’t easily determine the exact nature of those relationships…

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

Not knowing who had murmured this, Xiao Yufan was once again thrust into everyone’s spotlight. Although the title of chairman of Glory might not carry much weight here, the Situ Clan behind Glory was more than enough to command respect on this stage.

At this moment, in a corner of the event venue, a pair of beautiful eyes silently watched everything unfold, a faint self-mocking curve appearing at the corner of her lips…
