Inside the luxurious Bentley, Lin Ruoxi, Wu Xue, and Ye Feng occupied the spacious seats. The sleek black leather upholstery exuded elegance as the car guided through the city streets.

Ye Feng skillfully maneuvered the vehicle, his hands gripping the leather-clad steering wheel. Wu Xue, the trusted assistant of Lin Ruoxi, sat gracefully in the passenger seat, her gaze fixed ahead. Lin Ruoxi, the epitome of beauty and power, reclined in the back seat, her expression a mix of determination and concern.

"Sister beauty, do we really need to proceed with this deal?" Ye Feng inquired, his voice laced with worry. He stole a quick glance at Lin Ruoxi through the rearview mirror.

Lin Ruoxi's brows furrowed slightly, reflecting her contemplation. "Our real estate segment is expanding rapidly, and we're facing a capital shortage for our projects. Continuing our cooperation with the Wang Group seems to be the only viable choice."

"Beauty sister, I understand the circumstances, but can't we find someone else? That Wang Haoran seems like a scoundrel! He's merely lusting after you," Ye Feng voiced his concerns, his tone tinged with protectiveness.

Wu Xue, unable to contain her agreement, turned towards Lin Ruoxi. "I must admit, Wang Haoran's intentions appear dubious. However, unlike Ye Feng, I didn't dare voice my suspicions. Losing this crucial cooperation would solely be attributed to me."

Lin Ruoxi's eyes flickered with intrigue as she dismissed Ye Feng's warning. "Are you implying that you're any better? Haven't I caught you shamelessly staring at me countless times? How are you any different from him? Now, keep your opinions to yourself and drive us to the W-Hotel. Punctuality is of utmost importance."

"The young Master Wang Haoran has been a valuable asset to our company's real estate sector for years. Our collaboration is essential for the growth of our infrastructure division. Without the cooperation of the Wang family, everything could collapse," Lin Ruoxi explained, her voice carrying a hint of urgency.

Ye Feng's mouth twitched, a trace of sorrow in his eyes. He yearned to protect Lin Ruoxi from potential harm, but his words fell on deaf ears. Determined to fulfill his duty, he pressed the accelerator, propelling the car forward with increased speed.

As the city lights blurred outside the window, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. His fate seemed intertwined with sacrifices for Lin Ruoxi's sake.

Ye Feng silently vowed to protect her, regardless of the dangers they might face.

He clenched his fists, determination etched across his face.

All he wanted to do was warn her about the possible danger, but she didn't even listen to him.

What could he do?

Just protect her if something bad happens.

Ye Feng's fate was truly tragic.

The world is not chaotic until powerful people rule, but it becomes chaotic when powerful people start taking orders from the weak.

A similar situation was taking place here, where Lin Ruoxi was ordering Ye Feng and wasn't even ready to listen to him. After all, who told him to have such a pushover image in her mind?

"She is surprisingly obedient to you? What kind of magic did you perform on her?" Yu Lei muttered in astonishment as she witnessed the scene of Feng Xinyue gracefully carrying a tray with a teacup towards Zhang Wei.

Normally, the little girl would remain rooted to her spot, but when it came to Zhang Wei, she even took the initiative to serve him.

All Yu Lei had to do was mention that tea was ready, and Feng Xinyue stood up on her own accord, fetching it for Zhang Wei.

The sight was enough to make Yu Lei question the fabric of reality.

Zhang Wei chuckled, accepting the tray from Feng Xinyue's tiny hands and placing it on the table. He then scooped up the little Nizi and positioned her between his legs. "Why are you jealous of her? I didn't perform any kind of magic on her," he teased.

Yu Lei furrowed her brows, always feeling that something was amiss between these two.

However, she pushed that thought aside as Zhang Wei handed her an ancient-looking scroll and a vial filled with red liquid.

"These are for you. The scroll contains a cultivation technique, while the blood essence is for your bloodline. Drink the blood essence first before practicing the cultivation technique," Zhang Wei explained.

Yu Lei's eyes sparkled like crescent moons with excitement. However, before her enthusiasm could reach its peak, Zhang Wei added, "Don't use them now. It will take a few hours for your bloodline to consolidate. Save it for tonight."

There was still some time before they had to make their way to the W-Hotel for the dinner event. The hotel was located near the central parks in the north district, and they needed to traverse the distance.

The W-Hotel stood as a pinnacle of luxury, a five-star establishment crafted by the prestigious Wang Family Group.

In comparison to behemoths like the Wang and Song families, whose net worth reached hundreds of billions HLD, the Lin Group was still in its nascent stage, with a modest net worth of only 20 billion HLD.

It had humble beginnings as a small real estate company, worth a mere 10 million HLD, which Lin Ruoxi inherited from her grandmother.

However, Lin Ruoxi harbored grand ambitions for the company. After her studies abroad, she decided to expand the business by venturing into the realm of cosmetics, establishing Pearl Cosmetic International Ltd.

Within a few short years, Pearl Cosmetic International Ltd proved immensely profitable, generating hundreds of millions HLD in revenue and even venturing into overseas markets.

The profits reaped from the cosmetics company were then funneled into the development of Lin Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, the very real estate company that Lin Ruoxi's grandmother had originally started.

Presently, the Lin Group stood as an amalgamation of Lin Infrastructure Pvt Ltd and Pearl Cosmetic International Ltd, with various smaller companies operating under their prestigious banner.

Lin Ruoxi, the visionary leader, brought the headquarters of both main companies together, housing them within a singular tower.

Additionally, she established a private investment company to oversee and manage the various subsidiaries within the group.

To summarize, Lin Infrastructure Pvt Ltd focused primarily on real estate ventures, while Pearl Cosmetic International Ltd specialized in the realm of cosmetics. Lin Ruoxi held the esteemed position of CEO for both main companies, simultaneously presiding over the entire group as its President.

Yet, the arduous journey of building the Lin Group fell solely upon Lin Ruoxi's shoulders. It was a stark contrast to the Wang and Song families, which boasted a multitude of individuals with deep-rooted ancestral histories. The two couldn't be more distinct in terms of their origins and the challenges they faced.
