"Who were those just now?"
After chatting with three won for two minutes, Chi Linyue said she wanted to go to the restroom.
Xu Lin understood imdiately and went with Chi Linyue to the restroom.
Actually, Chi Linyue simply didn’t want to continue chatting with those won.
"People I knew before, not too familiar though, just acquaintances."
Xu Lin instantly understood.
Chi Linyue added, "I don’t really have any friends now, though I have many business acquaintances. It’s hard to say if you understand, they’re all bound by interests, so they aren’t true friends. You never know when they’ll betray you."
"I can kind of understand that."
Xu Lin didn’t say much more.
Chi Linyue: "True friends often co when you’re penniless; the higher you climb, the fewer friends you have. As the saying goes, ’A gentleman’s friendship is as light as water.’ As you ascend, it’s hard to maintain such friendships, you need mutual interests. You use , I use you, you help , I help you, that’s called reciprocity."
Soon, the two arrived at the restroom.
After using the restroom, they walked up to the third floor.
They didn’t take the elevator but chose to use the stairs.
The staircase spiraled upwards with a red carpet laid on the ground, very beautiful and quite upscale.
Before long, they arrived on the third floor.
The banquet hall gathered many people. Won in various formal dresses, while n’s attire was more uniform, all in suits, though the styles varied, and so had different suit colors.
Without question, Xu Lin was the most dazzling.
He was only eighteen, in the pri of his youth, while the other n here all started at thirty.
n’s careers generally develop normally; very few are accomplished at a young age unless they rely on their family.
n typically establish themselves at thirty, it’s the age when they begin to stand firm in this bloody, cannibalistic society, to grasp the world’s workings and glimpse an everlasting iceberg’s tip.
The underworld is always a mix of fighting and worldly wisdom.
"Who is that young man?"
As Xu Lin entered, many imdiately noticed the tall and handso young man.
Of course, appearance was secondary. Everyone has been eighteen, everyone has had the youthful, high-spirited years.
But Xu Lin was different, his aura was exceptionally distinct, standing out from the crowd, drawing attention.
"He looks so special, whose son is he?"
"His na is Xu Lin, and he’s Chi Linyue’s fiancé!"
A woman who had chatted with Xu Lin earlier said.
"Miss Chi’s fiancé? I hadn’t heard she had one."
"You’ll never know when people get engaged."
"That’s true."
"Indeed, a match made in heaven!"
Crowds glanced over, focusing on the pair, but mostly on Xu Lin.
On the most remarkable young man in this whole venue.
Of course, many n felt heartbroken, after all, Chi Linyue is a great beauty; she is among the city’s most beautiful and outstanding won.
There are countless beautiful won in the world, money can buy many, power equates to money, which can buy people’s ti, and naturally, their freedom and loyalty too. Therefore, for n, having money equals having countless won.
But those won at the pinnacle, they possess exceptional looks, wisdom, and abilities. Your money, they have too, and they don’t buy it.
Chi Linyue is such a woman.
Many n didn’t expect Chi Linyue to already have a fiancé, inevitably sighing inwardly.
Looking at this young man, he’s undeniably an outstanding figure among his peers.
"How do I address you? I’m Zhao Ping!"
A man approached Xu Lin and extended his hand for a handshake.
Xu Lin smiled and shook his hand, "My surna is Xu, just Xu Lin, dashing and elegant."
"Haha, Mr. Xu, people say your na fits you perfectly, dashing and elegant!"
Zhao Ping handed over a business card to Xu Lin, who accepted it, realizing that Zhao Ping was a chairman of a company.
Though he hadn’t heard of it, XXX Technology Co., Ltd? Just by the company na, you can’t tell what it does, as for technology companies, it’s well known that dostically, they might not deal with technology, they could be gaming companies or do sothing else.
But Xu Lin wasn’t concerned, acquaintances are important for appearances.
Following that, many approached Xu Lin for a handshake.
It wasn’t entirely because of Chi Linyue’s influence.
In reality, Chi Linyue’s influence here wasn’t that significant.
Moreover, there were many influential people present, despite this being a gathering for young entrepreneurs under forty-five, even those over fifty were present.
Among them, a few were indeed quite influential in Jiangdu, Xu Lin had seen them in the news. So were rumored to have assets valued in hundreds of billions.
Chi Linyue wasn’t that wealthy.
Elder sister played on a small scale, her father was a high-ranking official in Capital City, and having a daughter who’s too involved in business is risky. Moreover, Chi Linyue didn’t aim to be big; discretion was necessary, and she did not disclose her family’s background.
So compared to these influential people, Chi Linyue was nothing much. In this land, those who make it big usually have significant backing, whose supporters behind them remain unknown, so these people truly don’t shy away from Chi Linyue.
Yet, these influential people all ca to shake hands with Xu Lin.
