Chapter 747: Chapter 596: As Rare as Morning Stars
"Thanks to all the bosses here." The beautiful eyes of the group of actresses instantly lit up.
Then, they all walked towards Shi Wangyue, their voices either coquettish, sweet, or elegant, greeting Shi Wangyue—
"Hello, Mr. Shi, I’m Zhang Yun."
"Mr. Shi, I’m Yu Xin."
"Mr. Shi, I’m Li Qiu."
"Mr. Shi, I’m..."
Shi Wangyue took a step back quickly as the group of actresses swarmed towards him like butterflies, the aura of distance around him growing stronger.
Seeing this, the actresses quickly halted, stopping a meter away from him, not daring to get closer.
Shi Wangyue nodded slightly towards them, but his gaze didn’t fall on any of them.
Instead, he looked past them at the group of bosses behind them, "I have some business to attend to, so let’s end the gathering here today."
Chairman Zhang immediately said, "Mr. Shi, it’s still early, and we’ve run into so many beauties here. Let’s have a drink together before going back to rest; it’s not too late."
Shi Wangyue said softly, "No, I’ve just made an arrangement with family to go home early and rest tonight."
"Mr. Shi, it’s rare for us to gather like this. Isn’t it boring for you to go back to the hotel so early alone?" other bosses urged him.
Shi Wangyue gracefully raised his Patek Philippe, "My car has arrived, everyone, I must apologize, I’ll take my leave first."
Saying that, he bypassed the actresses in front of him and walked towards the hall’s main entrance.
As the hotel’s electronic sensor door opened, his meticulous assistant Jin happened to appear outside the hotel door, "Mr. Shi, the car is ready."
"Let’s go." Shi Wangyue turned to wave goodbye to the bosses watching him from inside the hall.
Then he hopped into the black luxury car parked outside the hotel door without looking back.
"Chairman Zhang, Mr. Shi is really young and handsome," the actresses, once Shi Wangyue had departed, immediately started asking the familiar bosses about him.
"Mr. Shi is handsome, isn’t he? Haven’t you all been captivated by his outstanding charisma?"
"Oh gosh, who wouldn’t? From a distance, I thought he was one of our pretty colleagues."
"Colleague? That’s just you being oblivious."
"Yes, yes, it’s just us being oblivious, but isn’t that because our experience is limited? We’ll have to rely on the bosses to look after us and show us the ropes in the future."
"You lovely ladies should just focus on doing your work well and taking good care of yourselves; other matters are too complex, not advisable to engage more."
"This Mr. Shi, don’t be fooled by his youth and beauty, seeming unfamiliar in the industry, but in terms of investment projects, he can certainly rival old Zhang."
Old Zhang is another renowned figure in the Chinese capital field.
His name is not only famous within the industry but also known by many ordinary people.
These bosses are generally willing to chat with the pretty girls, as long as their questions aren’t excessive.
"He has practically invested in all the companies you’re familiar with, not only famous domestically but also quite well-known internationally."
"Young capable individuals like Mr. Shi are as rare as morning stars; if you get the chance, you should learn from him; his influence in the industry is this great!" A boss briefly introduces Shi Wangyue’s background to the eagerly listening actresses, "The ’Starlight’ he founded has been ranked first in China’s venture capital list for several consecutive years, totaling 900 projects invested, with nearly 300 successfully launched, and dozens valued at over 1 billion US Dollars...not to mention he also has ’MM’, which is even more extraordinary. Nowadays, almost any listed company may have ’MM’ and ’Starlight’ capital in its shareholder background."
"That’s incredible..."
"..."
"Mr. Shi." Rain poured outside, and Assistant Jin promptly opened the black umbrella when Shi Wangyue was about to walk out of the hotel corridor, "President Liang is already waiting for us at Golden Flower, it’s a twenty-five-minute drive from here without traffic."
"Not meeting him." Shi Wangyue stopped by the car door, with distant car lights just illuminating his face.
Assistant Jin’s heart sank, noticing that his boss’s complexion seemed colder than the autumn rain outside.
"Then we..."
"Head straight back to the hotel." Shi Wangyue bent over and got into the heated car, "Inform President Liang that our collaboration is canceled."
"Okay, Boss." Although Assistant Jin didn’t know why the deal decided before was suddenly canceled by the boss, he immediately messaged President Liang, whom they initially planned to meet.
After sending the message, he heard Shi Wangyue, seated behind him, say, "From now on, any business similar to President Liang’s company, our company won’t engage."
"Boss?" Assistant Jin’s heart sank, "Did you receive some new policy that is unfavorable to us?"
Sitting behind him, Shi Wangyue opened his previously closed eyes, a pair of profound eyes, sinking deep, "No, it’s my decision to not handle transactions in this area anymore."
"Boss..." Assistant Jin hesitated, "What about the shareholders of the company..."
It might be hard to explain.
Although not the main business of the company, such operations are indeed highly profitable.
"I’ll handle it." Shi Wangyue’s voice was calm yet decisive.
...
"Your dad often says it’s good you’re like this now as an adult." Ming Jinxin and Ning Youguang finished bathing and sat by the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city lights below, sipping fruit tea, and chatting.
—"But I think he says that because he can’t bear for you to get married."
"I haven’t thought about that issue yet." Ning Youguang snuggled comfortably in the recliner, "But I think it’s nice how Wangyue and I are now too."
"Wangyue doesn’t agree." Ming Jinxin laughed, "Last time he visited the house, he complained to me, saying ’a person’s life is incomplete without marriage and children’."
Ning Youguang pressed her lips, smiling but saying nothing.
Her meaning was very clear.
Ming Jinxin understood instantly and didn’t say more on the subject, "Your dad and I definitely respect your wishes."
After speaking, she noticed Ning Youguang pick up her phone and glance at it, then suddenly frown lightly, "What’s wrong?"
"At this time, Wangyue should have messaged me."
"He’s socializing outside, maybe something is holding him up."
"No." Ning Youguang got up from the recliner, "He is very punctual, and if we agree on a time, it’s never off by a minute." 1314
