The ti spent on spring dreams is always short. Just as the story was about to reach its climax, there was a knock on the door outside that pulled Lin Tian out of his spring dream. He still rembered that after finishing his training and going to bed last night, he finally had a spring dream, only for it to be ruined.
It’s bad enough being a virgin in real life, but even in dreams, I’m still a virgin. I’m really a failure at living, Lin Tian thought with great frustration.
Lin Tian reluctantly opened his eyes and got up to open the door. Even before the door was opened, he could sll it; he knew it was Yun Xiaotian outside. This guy is clearly a man, yet when he gets close, there’s this faint fragrance coming from him. How can other won live up to that?
The mont he opened the door, a scream of "Ah!" resounded. An Xiaoru covered her eyes, blushing, turned her head, and ran away, just like the last ti she ca knocking.
"Ha, sorry about that, I was having a spring dream last night." Lin Tian said carelessly. Although he said he was embarrassed, his face didn’t show it at all.
Yun Xiaotian tried not to look around, staring straight at Lin Tian’s face, and said, "Brother Lin, we’ll be leaving at nine. My mom asked to co over and get you ready."
"Alright, I’ll be quick." Lin Tian rembered there was a business association eting today. He hastily washed up in the bedroom, changed into that outfit, and put on a pair of decorative non-prescription glasses.
When Lin Tian arrived in the living room, Yun Xiaotian and An Xiaoru were stunned by his appearance.
"Lin... Brother Lin, you look really different today." Yun Xiaotian finally ca to his senses and stamred, while An Xiaoru nodded vigorously.
"This is an outfit designed by Sofia. The old man asked to wear it, so I did. It’s nothing special, but I do have so perks." Lin Tian chuckled.
Yun Xiaotian shook his head with a smile and said, "I was talking about your glasses. It’s just a little unusual to see you wearing glasses suddenly."
"What? I think I look pretty good with glasses, right?" Lin Tian said narcissistically.
"Brother Lin looks handso no matter what you wear, but with glasses, you seem less sharp and a bit more scholarly." Yun Xiaotian comnted truthfully.
"Sofia was right; it looks like these glasses are quite useful, hiding the sharpness and fitting my low-key style." Lin Tian said contentedly.
In response to Lin Tian’s remarks about being low-key, Yun Xiaotian just smiled, and then the two of them left Yunxiang Inn. After having breakfast with Yun Xiaotian, they arrived outside the garage, where Lin Tian saw Yun Haoyu and Wang Wanxi.
Both of them were dressed very formally. Yun Haoyu wore a suit and tie, looking both elegant and dignified, while Wang Wanxi wore a plain embroidered long dress, her elegance and charm setting her apart from young girls with a mature woman’s grace.
Seeing Lin Tian’s attire, both of them paused, just like Yun Xiaotian did.
"Lin Tian, you seem quite different today." Wang Wanxi said with a smile.
"I’ve already heard it once from Xiaotian." Lin Tian said helplessly.
"However, Sofia’s taste is truly unique." Wang Wanxi nodded in agreent.
As they spoke, three cars drove out of the garage. Lin Tian and the others got into the middle one, with the front and rear cars possibly being bodyguards. The three cars started and drove away from the Yun family, heading towards the business association eting place.
Looking at the street scenery outside, it seed like they were heading into the city. Last ti, he forgot to ask Miss about where the biannual association eting was held.
In the car, Yun Haoyu seed to have noticed Lin Tian’s confusion and smiled, "The location for this biannual eting is next to Qing Prince Mansion’s Ziwei Garden."
"Ziwei Garden?" Lin Tian asked in confusion.
Yun Haoyu nodded and said, "Ziwei Garden used to be the property of the Hua family. The Yunhua Comrce’s gathering place has always been there. Later, the Hua family declined, and Ziwei Garden couldn’t sustain itself. The association bought it to continue using it as a eting place, which is a bit of nostalgia for the old folks."
"It sounds like Ziwei Garden has so history." Lin Tian remarked.
"Exactly, Ziwei Garden originally belonged to a prince’s residence. After the dynasty fell, it was traded several tis before falling into the hands of the Hua family. To this day, Ziwei Garden retains its original appearance, which is quite rare." Yun Haoyu explained.
"I heard Yunhua Comrce was founded by the Yun family and the Hua family. What mbers are there in the association?" Lin Tian inquired curiously.
Yun Haoyu chuckled and said, "That’s not an easy question to answer. Yunhua Comrce is a business alliance that has seen new mbers join and old mbers fall out constantly. Still, overall, it’s quite a significant number."
"As you know, the Xiao Family in Xikou City is one of the older mbers, having started their business endeavors early. Although they’re sowhat confined, compared to large families and groups, there’s still quite a gap."
"The Bai Family in Xikou City, who made their start in jade, doesn’t have much comprehensive strength but is considered a prestigious family in the jade industry. These two families are both from Xikou City."
"Then there’s the Yun family from Jinghua City; you don’t need to say more as they’re in front of you. Another family worth ntioning is the Ning family, also from Jinghua City. The Ning family’s low-key approach belies their formidable strength."
"And then there’s the Qian family, the Zhao family, and the Shen family..."
Yun Haoyu gave Lin Tian a detailed introduction to the mbers of Yunhua Comrce, giving in-depth comntary on so notable families and groups.
Hearing about the Ning family again, Lin Tian was intrigued. To earn such praise from Yun Haoyu, the Ning family certainly wasn’t a minor family.
"Uncle Yun, among the families and groups you ntioned earlier, there are no major families like the Li family and the Ou family. Aren’t they mbers of Yunhua Comrce?" Lin Tian asked in surprise.
Yun Haoyu shook his head and said, "Of course not. Anyone might ally with the Yun family, except the Li family wouldn’t. The Li family and the Ou family belong to another major business association, the Sea Navigation Chamber of Comrce. Their strength is on par with Yunhua Comrce, and both chambers have business interactions. They also invite each other to annual etings."
"Therefore, for this biannual eting, the Sea Navigation Chamber of Comrce will also send representatives, especially since this gathering will elect a new president, which concerns them greatly. Even without an invitation, they’d co." Yun Haoyu said with a faint smile.
"Oh, I heard the old man say that in electing the new president, the current president has significant recomnding power. Uncle Yun, as the current president, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Lin Tian asked casually.
Yun Haoyu looked at Lin Tian in silence for a mont before smiling suddenly, "This matter is confidential for now. You’ll find out when the ti cos."
Seeing Yun Haoyu’s mysterious smile, Lin Tian couldn’t guess what he was planning. Logically, Yun Haoyu would surely recomnd soone beneficial to the Yun family as the new president.
However, Lin Tian had no understanding of the Yun family’s connections, so he’d have to wait until the recomndation to find out.
