Chapter 343 Just mention my name!

Feeling that all eyes were on him, the young man sitting in the front row did not feel nervous at all. Instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As if victory was certain.

Looking at the young man's expression, the distinguished guests present all had different expressions.

Some people frowned slightly, sighing in their hearts that young people nowadays are so bold without considering the occasion.

But they were more in the mood to watch the show. After all, they had nothing to do with the young man, so they could just sit there and watch the show quietly.

There were only two people whose brows were furrowed so much that they looked like a small hill.

One of them was the VIP member who came with the young man. He naturally knew what the Guangming Club represented.

What he didn't expect was that this young man would refute the club's decision and look so smug about it, thinking he could make the club change its decision?
"Oh, this is really making me suffer. Who knows, tonight or tomorrow, all the nobles in Europe will know about my glorious world."

If he hadn't had a significant business partnership with the young man's father, he would have just walked away.

After all, he couldn't afford to lose face in front of this person, not to mention that this was a slap in the face of the Guangming Club!
The last person as brave as this young man must be several years old now.

As for the other one, of course it was Butler Hill, the head of the Bright Club branch. He never expected that such a farce would occur.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Hill's eyes on the stage, and he frowned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

He looked at the young man expressionlessly and asked, "Mr. Li Mingrui, do you have any objection to the decision of our Guangming Club?"

When Butler Hill mentioned the words "Bright Club", his tone became more serious.

The VIP members present suddenly felt the same way and goose bumps appeared on their arms.

They all saw that Butler Hill was really angry, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense.

Li Mingrui is from South Korea and is the young master of the Li Group in South Korea. His main purpose of coming to Manchester this time is to expand their family business in the European financial market.

His father had specifically asked him to come to Guangming Club, and for this purpose he asked a friend to act as a guide and bring him into the club.

As the young master of the Li Group, he naturally knew what role the Guangming Club played in Europe and even the world.

Even though Butler Hill was the head of the Manchester branch of the Bright Club, he was not someone he could easily offend.

When he came again, his father repeatedly told him to keep a low profile after arriving at the Guangming Club and it was best not to offend anyone, especially the people in the club!
Seeing Hill's cold expression, Li Mingrui's heart skipped a beat, knowing that his previous remarks had offended Butler Hill.

The smile on his face disappeared, and he bent down with a look of panic and said, "I'm very sorry, Butler Hill, I used inappropriate words just now, please forgive me!"

At the same time, Li Mingrui's guide also stepped forward to smooth things over, "Butler Hill, this young man is also here for the first time and doesn't know the club's rules!"

"Please forgive me and don't take it personally, kid!"

Hill looked at the middle-aged man who was speaking. He also knew that this man was the direct descendant of the Bouygues family, one of the largest families in France, so he had to give him the face he deserved.

Just as he said, this was Li Mingrui's first time here. Thinking of this, Butler Hill's expression improved a little.

But he still didn't give Li Mingrui a good look.

"Since Mr. Bouygues said so, I will not hold him responsible. However... Mr. Li should make his words clear, lest people outside think that I, Hill, am bullying others by relying on the Guangming Club!"

Hearing this, the guide Bouygues felt relieved. He looked at Li Mingrui who was still a little dazed beside him, touched him with his hand, and indicated that it was his turn to go on stage!

At this time, Li Mingrui's nervous heart calmed down. He knew that he would have to face Butler Hill eventually. He calmed his emotions and thought about it in his mind.

"Butler Hill, if I remember correctly, everyone who can come to the club is a person of status and strength!"

"But I don't know if that Su...Su Chen is qualified. Judging from his appearance, he should be an oriental person, but in my impression, there is no such Mr. Su in East Asia or even Southeast Asia."

"Of course, it's possible that they are a small family worth billions, but I definitely don't know anyone like that."

"If I remember correctly, the basic requirement to enter the club seems to be a net worth of more than 5 billion US dollars."

"I wonder if Mr. Su and his family have the ability to do this?"

Having said that, Li Mingrui looked at Su Chen not far away with a smile, his eyes full of coldness.

Because Su Chen made him lose so much face, if he didn't get it back, wouldn't those European families laugh at his Li family?

Whether for his own sake or for the future business landscape of the Li Group, he cannot afford to take a step back.

If they win this time, the Li Group's business in Europe will be unimpeded.

This is why he stood up and questioned so stubbornly. Of course... he also had his own selfish motives. Doris was so beautiful, and her family had a good influence in Europe. She would be a great help!
After he finished speaking, the VIP members who were watching the fun looked at Butler Hill with amusement, and then turned to look at the other protagonist - Su Chen.

But when they saw the two people sitting next to Su Chen, the playful expressions on their faces immediately froze.

Everyone present was a prominent figure in Europe. How could they not know John and Prince Sheikh of the Grosvenor family?

Especially Sheikh. When he came before, those sitting a little further back saw him, but there was no interaction between them, so they just glanced at him and didn't pay any attention.

Who would have thought that the other protagonist actually came with Sheikh, and it seemed that Sheikh was the guide of the man named Su Chen.

Su Chen noticed that the VIP members' eyes were all on him, so he prepared to stand up and give a brief introduction.

But Xie He at the side was even quicker than him. He pulled his clothes with both hands to straighten them, then stood up, looked at Li Mingrui calmly and said, "Can't I guarantee him?"

"Hi~"

As soon as these words were spoken, the members and VIPs who were watching the show gasped. Judging from the situation, it seemed that Sheikh was going to confront this young man from the Li family.

Li Mingrui was also surprised. He originally thought that Su Chen would stand up and confront him, but he didn't expect that it was someone else who stood up.

He also noticed that after that person stood up, the expressions of the members present changed, and they knew that the person who stood up was not a simple person.

It was normal that Li Mingrui did not know Sheikh. He used to stay in Southeast Asia. This was his first time in Europe, so he was naturally not very familiar with the situation here.

After all, in the eyes of these rich people, who would pay attention to people who have no connection with them?

Even if you have seen it once before on the Internet, you will most likely forget it the moment you turn around.

Li Mingrui exhaled a breath and was about to continue to refute. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt someone pulling the corner of his clothes.

Looking down, he saw his father's friend Mr. Bouygues, who was giving him a frantic look and muttering, "That's the Sheikh, the prince of Abu Dhabi. I advise you to stop making trouble and admit defeat!"

"The prince of Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh?"

Li Mingrui was completely dumbfounded. He naturally knew what Abu Dhabi and Sheikh represented, but he never thought that Su Chen would be his friend.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but when he saw the teasing looks from the VIP members around him, he could no longer remain calm.

Li Mingrui knew that in the eyes of those people, he was not much different from a clown.

For a moment, he was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to swallow his anger and sit down, or to confront Prince Sheikh and not care about the future business market of the Li Group in Europe.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw Hill on the stage out of the corner of his eye and an idea came to his mind.

Li Mingrui smiled, glanced at Sheikh, and responded loudly: "Prince Sheikh's guarantee is of course no problem, but... the rules of the Guangming Club are there..."

"If Mr. Su Chen doesn't meet the requirements, I'm sure... the club won't tolerate such a thing happening. Isn't this breaking the club's rules?"

"Is that right, Butler Hill?" Li Mingrui bent down slightly and said in a very humble manner.

He really couldn't handle the pressure from Prince Sheikh, but if it was the Guangming Club, that might not be the case.

Li Mingrui simply dragged the Guangming Club into the water. If Butler Hill did not stand up and speak out, it would only be the Guangming Club that would lose face.

But if he stood up, his goal would be achieved.

This operation is also a double-edged sword, and if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself. But now Li Mingrui has no way out, and perhaps this operation will be beneficial to him.

Anyone who is not afraid of power and stands up to say no will definitely be remembered.

"Brave! Really brave!"

This was the summary of Li Mingrui's remarks by more than a dozen members and distinguished guests present. No one expected that he would use the regulations of the Illuminati, and the key point was that they could not find a reason to refute it.

Even Butler Hill on the stage had a flash of surprise in his eyes and looked at Li Mingrui quietly.

I don't know where he got the courage to use the Bright Club as a knife.

However, Li Mingrui was not wrong, such a precedent should not be set.

If it happens once, there will definitely be a second time. By then, I wonder if the Guangming Club will become a hodgepodge.

Butler Hill simply allowed such a situation to occur, otherwise he would also be implicated.

He glanced at Li Mingrui with an unfriendly look, silently kept the grudge in his heart, then turned to look in the direction of Su Chen.

Butler Hill's face no longer had the previous coldness, but instead was filled with a faint smile.

"Excuse me, Prince Sheikh, you know our rules, please briefly introduce yourself, Mr. Su!"

It is said that you should not hit someone who smiles at you. Sheikh also understands this truth. What's more, verifying identity is also the rule of the club.

I looked at Su Chen with a bit of apology. I had originally wanted to bring him to the club to have some fun, but I never expected to encounter such a thing.

If he had known that such an unpleasant thing would happen, he would have gone back to his villa in Manchester.

"It's okay!" Su Chen patted Xie He's shoulder, stood up and straightened his clothes.

He scanned the scene, took a few more glances at Li Mingrui, and then said to Hill on the stage with a smile: "I am a shareholder of three world-class luxury groups: Louis Vuitton, Kering, and Li Feng!"

"By the way, let me add that he is the largest private shareholder!"

"I believe this identity is sufficient and there is no need to add any other information, Mr. Li Mingrui!"

After saying that, Su Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Li Mingrui with a playful expression.

"How big of a private shareholder is he, a shareholder of the world's three largest luxury goods companies?"

This information immediately set off the atmosphere at the scene. Most of the people present were from Europe, and everyone was not clear about what these three luxury companies represented...

This is all wealth, countless wealth.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could you be a shareholder of the three major luxury goods companies? You have to know that even Black Rock Group only holds 8% of the shares!"

"How is it possible that you have more than Black Rock Group and have shares in three luxury goods companies? You know it's impossible without even thinking about it!"

Li Mingrui was not shocked by this information. Instead, he was as happy as if he had caught Su Chen's tail.

Butler Hill, who was standing on the stage, frowned slightly. As the head of the Manchester branch of the Bright Club, one of the only two branches in the whole of Europe, he knew some things about the company.

"Mr. Su, what you said is true. It's still not too late to change it now!" Butler Hill said to Su Chen in a heavy tone.

As friends brought by Prince Sheikh, we still have to give them due face, but all this must be within the club's regulations.

"Of course, Butler Hill, if you feel at ease, you can call that old fox Arno and ask him!"

"If it doesn't work, you can call François Pinault, or just mention my name!"

The appearance of the names Arnault and Pinault was like a bomb exploding around the members and VIPs, and they all opened their mouths in shock.

Even Butler Hill was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close. Even Sheikh, who was sitting next to Su Chen, had his pupils shrank.

As for Li Mingrui, his face was pale without a trace of blood, he staggered and slumped in the chair with a dazed look in his eyes!

His guide, Bouygues, even moved a few steps towards the sofa next to him.

Everyone present knew that when Su Chen said these two names, he had already confirmed his identity as a shareholder of the world's three largest luxury goods companies.

No one would joke about this. The combined market value of the three luxury companies is nearly 600 billion euros. As the largest private shareholder, Su Chen is worth at least tens of billions of euros.

Not to mention his other industries. If all his net worth were added up, perhaps even the Sheikh prince sitting next to him would not be enough to beat him.

The scene was quiet for two or three minutes before returning to normal.

Everyone lowered their heads and discussed in a low voice, looking at Su Chen from time to time.

Butler Hill did not forget his duties. After coming to his senses, he smiled and said to Su Chen and everyone present: "Everyone wait a moment, I will immediately arrange for someone to contact the two people Mr. Su mentioned."

These words did not have much appeal to the VIP members. They all knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion. What they were curious about now was Su Chen's background.

The only person present who cared about Butler Hill's phone call was probably Li Mingrui.

He looked at Butler Hill who was whispering with the club staff, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that what Su Chen said was all lies!
Seeing Li Mingrui's praying look, Bouygues, who was standing by, was already thinking in his mind how to draw a line between himself and Li Mingrui and get closer to Su Chen.

Their family is in France. If Su Chen holds a grudge against him, with the influence of the Luwei Group in France, they will be able to bankrupt their family.

The club staff was very efficient and told Butler Hill the result in less than three minutes.

After hearing the exact news, Butler Hill's smile became even brighter, and he excitedly said to all the members present: "Our club has just contacted Mr. Arnault, and he confirmed that Mr. Su is indeed the largest private shareholder of the Luwei Group!"

"At the same time, Mr. Arnault also asked us to bring a message to Mr. Su, hoping that after you finish your work here, you will come to Paris to visit us!"

"Okay, I got it!" Su Chen nodded with a smile, "Butler Hill, if there is no objection, can this farce come to an end?"

"Of course!" Butler Hill responded immediately!

"Let us give a warm round of applause to congratulate our Mr. Su for winning Miss Doris's virginity!"

As Butler Hill finished speaking, Li Mingrui leaned back on the sofa with a deathly pale face. He knew that he had lost the gamble. Not only did he lose face, but even the plans of the Li Group would be affected.

No one around cared about Li Mingrui's reaction. They all clapped their hands and there was applause from the audience!
Doris, standing on the stage, looked at Su Chen with shining eyes. She did not expect that she would find such a prestigious person.

When Doris thought of her right to virginity, her pretty face instantly turned red, and the redness even spread to her neck.

Su Chen felt very embarrassed by Butler Hill's actions. He waved to everyone and sat back on the sofa.

Butler Hill on the stage whispered something to Doris.

Doris took a deep breath, walked down from the stage, and sat next to Su Chen in the envious eyes of everyone.

"Mr. Su~" Doris lowered her head shyly and called softly.

The sound made Sheikh and John present feel numb all over.

Two pairs of envious, jealous and hateful eyes fell on Su Chen so nakedly, making Su Chen feel very uncomfortable.

It was as if they were going to skin him alive and eat him.

"Ahem~ Watch the show, watch the show, the second half of the show has begun!"

Su Chen coughed twice awkwardly, and saw something being fiddled with on and off the stage from the corner of his eye, so he quickly changed the subject.

Hearing this, Sheikh and John took a look at the stage and found that it was indeed as Su Chen said, so they could only suppress their envy temporarily.

Little did they know that this was just the beginning of their suffering.
