I confess, I am the Mr. Richest

The visitor was none other than Chu Chen’s acquaintance, Yan Luoshui’s mother, Wei Zhiya.

“Auntie, what brings you to Donghai?”

Chu Chen walked over, asking curiously.

“It’s all about business.”

Wei Zhiya replied helplessly.

Yan Luoshui’s father was obsessed with research and paid no attention to the family business. Being a prestigious family, the Yan Family had stricter family rules.

Yan Luoshui’s uncles were all working for the family, and Yan Luoshui’s household couldn’t just do nothing and take money for free.

Therefore, Wei Zhiya also held a position in the group, but her title was far inferior to Yan Luoshui’s uncles.

“I’m here in Donghai because we’re negotiating a business deal.”

Yan’s mother shared the general situation with Chu Chen.

“Do you have time tonight, Little Chu?”

“I do.”

“Good, there’s an event tonight, come with me.”

Wei Zhiya invited.

In the future, after Chu Chen and Luoshui got married, they would need to handle these business matters as well. It was better for Chu Chen to get familiar with it sooner.

“Okay, Auntie.”

Chu Chen nodded.

In the evening, the two arrived at a small cocktail party.

Wei Zhiya’s arrival caused a minor stir, after all, she was backed by the prestigious Yan Family.

But as more big shots arrived, Wei Zhiya’s presence became less of a focal point.

Among these luminaries were even CEOs of companies worth hundreds of billions, nearing a trillion.

This was the gathering of Donghai’s elite, and everyone present was worth no less than ten billion.

“Well, if it isn’t President Wei?”

A wealthy woman, weighing at least two hundred pounds, wearing a luxurious pearl necklace, slowly approached after spotting Wei Zhiya.

“Oh, President Wu came too.”

Wei Zhiya replied coldly.

The two didn’t have a good relationship.

“And this is… your assistant?”

The wealthy woman pointed at Chu Chen, asking pointedly.

“He’s my daughter’s boyfriend, Chu Chen.” Wei Zhiya explained.

“So that’s how it is, quite a handsome young man, what a pity.”

The middle-aged wealthy woman shook her head and said with a sigh.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing, nothing.” The middle-aged wealthy woman sneered.

“By the way, have you bought your plane ticket for tomorrow yet?”

Suddenly shifting the conversation, the middle-aged wealthy woman asked.

“Tomorrow’s plane ticket?”

Wei Zhiya was a bit puzzled.

“Once tomorrow’s bidding ends, you’ll have to leave sulkily, better buy the ticket early.”

Sneering, President Wu turned and left.

“You…”

Wei Zhiya was infuriated.

“Auntie, who is she?”

Chu Chen asked.

“She’s Wuyue Group’s general manager. Her reason for coming to Donghai is the same as mine, which is to bid for a contract with Weiran Group.”

Wei Zhiya explained to Chu Chen that she and the middle-aged wealthy woman were essentially competitors, and the middle-aged wealthy woman’s advantages far exceeded hers.

“I see.”

Chu Chen nodded slightly.

As more big names made their entrance, the cocktail party grew lively.

It was then that a middle-aged man with glasses slowly appeared in everyone’s view.

Upon seeing him, both Wei Zhiya and the middle-aged wealthy woman brightened.

That middle-aged man was the chairman of Weiran Group, Chen Xuan, possessing a wealth close to fifty billion.

With Chen Xuan’s appearance, many who wanted to collaborate with Weiran Group rushed over to greet him and toast.

Wei Zhiya also stood up.

She was determined to nail tomorrow’s business deal; otherwise, her family’s situation would become even more difficult.

The Yan Family, being an established prestigious family, held traditional beliefs valuing men over women.

Since Yan Luoshui’s father was engrossed in research, Wei Zhiya replaced him in the family business, which had already sparked much criticism, causing displeasure among Yan Luoshui’s uncles.

Moreover, the branch company Yan Luoshui currently managed was one of the larger ones in the Yan Family, inciting envy among many. Not long ago, Yan Luoshui’s second uncle had suggested to the patriarch, Yan Lao Ye, that Yan Luoshui, being a woman, was unsuitable to manage such a large company and proposed to summon her back while having his own son take over the branch.

If Yan Luoshui were summoned back, her family, already at a disadvantage in the power struggle among the elite, would be in even more dire straits.

The worst outcome would be Yan Luoshui being forced into an arranged marriage with another prestigious family under the family’s arrangement.

That was the last thing Wei Zhiya wanted to see.

However, belonging to a prestigious family, Wei Zhiya was also helpless.

Only by gaining the upper hand in the elite power struggle or winning the ultimate victory could everything be resolved.

If tomorrow’s business deal failed, upon returning to the Yan Family, Yan Luoshui’s second uncle might confront her directly, persuading the somewhat wavering Yan Lao Ye to summon Luoshui back home.

Wei Zhiya also went forward to greet Chen Xuan.

Seeing Wei Zhiya’s expression, Chu Chen vaguely guessed what was happening. After all, which prestigious family didn’t have internal struggles?

Yan Luoshui had also mentioned some of her family issues to Chu Chen.

“President Chen.”

Wei Zhiya greeted Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan replied politely, but before Wei Zhiya could continue, the middle-aged wealthy woman, President Wu, approached them as well.

“President Chen, long time no see.”

Upon seeing President Wu, Chen Xuan smiled and replied,

“Truly a long time no see, President Wu.”

The two had collaborated before and were considered old friends.

Chen Xuan and the middle-aged wealthy woman chatted, leaving Wei Zhiya aside.

Seeing this, Wei Zhiya’s expression slightly changed as she finally realized why President Wu was so confident earlier.

“President Chen, shall we go over there and discuss the cooperation slowly?”

The middle-aged wealthy woman, President Wu, suggested.

“Okay.”

Chen Xuan nodded.

Casting a smug glance at Wei Zhiya beside her, the middle-aged wealthy woman, President Wu, walked over to the side with Chen Xuan.

Hearing this, Wei Zhiya was utterly despairing.

It was over, tomorrow’s bidding would surely fail, and naturally, the cooperation wouldn’t be possible.

Wei Zhiya’s face turned slightly pale.

She had even imagined the scene where Luoshui was summoned back to the Yan Family afterward.

At that time, their family would truly be on the brink of despair.

Although there wouldn’t be any life-threatening danger, they would completely lose their voice in the Yan Family!

After chatting with Chen Xuan for a while, the middle-aged wealthy woman walked over with a smile.

“President Wei, you didn’t believe me, now you understand.”

The middle-aged wealthy woman, President Wu, exhibited a bragging demeanor.

“Better to leave obediently.”

From a distance, watching as President Wu boasted, Chen Xuan remained silent.

He indeed intended to collaborate with President Wu because working with her promised maximum profit.

Friendship or not, in the business world, profit was paramount.

“Young man, I really like you. What’s good about the Yan Family women? I have a daughter, as beautiful as me. Would you like me to introduce her to you?”

The middle-aged wealthy woman, President Wu, extended an olive branch to Chu Chen.

You have a daughter as beautiful as you?

Hearing this, Chu Chen was instantly at a loss.

“You really think the contract is in the bag?”
