Chapter 405
Sitting in the luxurious car of the Qin Family, Old Qin and Wang Xian were exchanging conversations .
Xiao Yu and the rest did not attend the gathering this time, except for Lan Qingyue .
However, she was going with her family .
This was not the first time for a gathering of the super-rich in the Southern Province . Sun Kaian, the richest man, held it annually to recruit talents and investment enterprises .
That was the reason why he was in the top ten richest in the country with his assets . He was the true-blue tycoon and great entrepreneur .
No one was better than him in the entire Southern Province . Even Old Qin was a far cry from him .
However, Qin Family was still ranked in the top three in the entire Southern Province .
“Why would such gathering invite the Ancient Martial Art Families of the Southern Province?” Wang Xian asked puzzledly .
“There are some reasons for it . Mogul Sun was lucky enough to obtain an inheritance when he was young . It was part of Lu Ban’s inheritance . [1] So, he entered into the machinery industry and used thirty years to establish the largest machinery group within the country . Then, he took some prescriptions from the Underworld and set up his own pharmaceutical company . The rise of the richest man, Mogul Sun, has got something to do with Underworld . As a result, he invites Ancient Martial Arts Families to the annual gathering . ”
Old Qin smiled and explained, “Now, his company is based in Modu . There’s only a factory in the Flow City, and he only comes here every Chinese New Year . ”
Wang Xian nodded with surprise .
Using Lu Ban’s inheritance to set up a machinery factory and the prescriptions to set up a pharmaceutical group, Mogul Sun must be a genius .
The car was heading to the Southern Province First-level divisional area .
“Langhuan Manor . This is Mogul Sun’s manor in Flow City . It’s also the biggest manor in the entire Southern Province . ”
When they reached a manor that was near a lake, Old Qin walked down and pointed somewhere to the front .
“Indeed, the richest man in Southern Province!”
Wang Xian looked ahead with a smile on his face .
The entire manor was near a lake . Although it was known to be a manor, it could also be called a castle .
The estate spanned over an area of at least five thousand square meters . As it was close to the lake, the scenery was beautiful .
Just like what its name, Langhuan, suggested, the place was like a utopia .
“Hur?”
When Wang Xian and Old Qin were heading to Old Xue’s car after getting out of the car, Wang Xian spotted a familiar vehicle .
There were hundreds of luxurious cars parked in the lot beside the lake, and four to five helicopters at the side .
Amid those luxurious cars, Wang Xian spotted a heavy-duty motorcycle, the Harley bike .
“Isn’t that the one I gave Wang Dahai? Is he here?”
When Wang Xian saw the car plate number, he was slightly stunned . Wang Dahai’s family background was not bad . His family owned approximately millions of assets .
But they were still not eligible to be here for this gathering .
“What’s wrong, Wang Xian?”
Old Xue walked over he saw Wang Xian’s doubtful look .
“I saw a familiar vehicle . Let me make a call!”
Wang Xian laughed . He took out his phone and called Wang Dahai .
“Yo, Old Wang!”
“Dahai, where are you?”
“I’m attending a gathering . Why?”
“Is it at Langhuan Manor? Where are you? I’m at the entrance!”
“Really? You’re here too? Great, wait for me there . I’m coming!”
Subsequently, he heard Wang Dahai talking to someone .
“Why is Wang Dahai here?”
After Wang Xian hung up the phone, he raised an eyebrow . “Old Qin, Old Xue, you can go ahead first . I’m waiting for a classmate!”
“Oh? Okay, we’ll wait for you inside . ” Old Qin nodded .
“Sure, I’ll be there soon!” Wang Xian nodded as he walked to the entrance of the manor .
“This manor is quite impressive . ”
As he stood at the doorway, Wang Xian was observing the manor .
“Old Wang!”
Within minutes, Wang Dahai showed up, running to him while calling out for him .
“Dahai, why are you here?”
Wang Xian walked towards him .
“I’m here to visit my Grandpa since it’s the vacation now . It’s great, my Grandpa brought me here to broaden my horizons!” Wang Dahai was elated as he spoke . “Let’s go . I’ll take you inside . ”
“Your grandpa?”
Wang Xian was slightly taken aback .
“My grandpa used to be in the first batch of employees working for Mogul Sun . Now, he’s the vice president of the factory in Flow City . ”
Wang Dahai chuckled . “My dad was even more impressive . He came from the countryside and brought my mum down . But my grandpa looked down on my dad . ”
Wang Dahai then asked, “Why are you here then?”
“I’m here with friends!” Wang Xian replied .
“Tsk tsk, look at this manor . It’s simply beautiful . Sigh, how I wish I could stay in such a manor!”
Wang Dahai looked around the manor with an envious face . “Old Wang, don’t forget to invite me when you own such a manor!”
Wang Xian chuckled . He observed the manor, and it could not be compared to any average mansions .
The entire manor was filled with elegant and pretty pavilions . Just the maintenance alone would take a dozen workers .
Wang Dahai brought him to a huge banquet hall . The entire hall was luxurious, with hundreds of guests sitting inside, exchanging conversations .
Wang Xian looked around and did not see Old Qin or Old Xue .
“Let’s find a place to sit down and talk . The banquet will start later in the afternoon . ”
Wang Dahai led Wang Xian to a place and took two beverages from a waiter smilingly . Then they sat at a table .
There were other dashing young men and pretty babes at the table . The young men were in neat suits with stylish hairstyles .
The ladies were in evening dresses, exchanging conversations in an elegant posture .
“Cousin, is that your friend?”
A girl whose face was small looked over . As soon as she spotted Wang Xian, she asked this of him puzzledly .
“Yes, he’s my classmate . He’s awesome . Even though he is younger than me, he has made a fortune for himself!” Wang Dahai replied to that girl proudly .
“Oh?”
Wang Dahai’s cousin was sizing up Wang Xian with surprise . Dashing, with outstanding demeanor which was way better than her boyfriend . So she could not help but take a few more looks .
“Why did he dress so casually to attend such an event like this?”
At this time, a young man who was sitting by the side of Wang Dahai’s cousin was unhappy that his girlfriend was observing Wang Xian . He threw her a displeased look and fixed his eyes on Wang Xian .
Upon hearing what that young man said, the rest of them looked towards Wang Xian .
A sweater and ordinary slacks with a pair of sneakers . Such dressing was simply out of place in that environment .
Wang Dahai’s cousin noticed the displeasure of her boyfriend . She also spotted what Wang Xian was wearing .
“It’s a little inappropriate . Cousin, there’s still some time . Bring your classmate to change into formal attire . How can he be dressed so casually on such an important occasion? He would only make others feel that he isn’t showing them respect!”
