"Tsk tsk tsk, as the group's vice president, he hasn't even arrived by the time the board meeting is about to start. Entrusting a project to someone like this is going to be difficult!"

A woman with long, flowing hair, head held high, nostrils pointing to the sky, spoke in a strange tone.

"Young Miss, since you suddenly requested that the board meeting be held an hour earlier, it's normal for the Second Miss to arrive a little late."

The person speaking was clearly a shareholder on Guo Kailin's side.

"Hmph, there's a banquet hosted by the Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Island this noon, and they've invited me and Pak-Shi. I definitely can't miss the banquet. Besides, I'm doing this for the group. If I can make connections with high-ranking government officials at the banquet, wouldn't our group be the one to benefit?"

Ma Wenfeng said with a smug look on her face.

It seemed that being able to attend the Westerners' banquet was a great honor for her.

“Ah Feng is right. I managed to get this banquet through my father’s connections, and we absolutely cannot miss it.”

After Ma Wenfeng finished speaking, a man sitting next to her, with slicked-back hair, around 30 years old, and a cocky look, also laughed and said something.

He was Xu Baishi, the son of Xu Huayan, the head of Xinji.

Sun Kee started out with the help of Lui Lok, the former detective with a net worth of five hundred million. After Lui Lok fled, Sun Kee quickly switched allegiance to foreigners, which allowed them to survive one storm after another and grow into a top triad in Hong Kong Island, on par with the Number Gang.

After saying this, Xu Baishi turned his head and gently kissed Ma Wenfeng on the cheek.

The Xu family now has people, money, and power, but they are still a little short of being considered one of Hong Kong's elite families.

Once Xu Baishi can win over Ma Wenfeng and the Guo Group, he can bridge this gap and elevate the Xu family into the ranks of the elite.

If it weren't for this reason, given Ma Wenfeng's willful, capricious, and arrogant personality, Xu Baishi, who had already killed hundreds of people, would have kicked her away long ago.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm late and I've kept you waiting."

Just as Xu Baishi and Ma Wenfeng were putting on their 'affectionate' act, a clear and melodious voice entered the ears of everyone in the conference room.

Xu Baishi immediately pulled his mouth away from Ma Wenfeng's face and turned to look at the beautiful figure who had just entered the conference room.

If Guo Kailin hadn't rejected him, Xu Baishi swore he would have chosen Guo Kailin.

With that figure and that face, she's truly a rare beauty. If I could get my hands on her, I could stay home at least three days a week, Xu Baishi thought to himself.

However, at that moment, Xu Baishi noticed something amiss.

Walking next to Guo Kailin, who was dressed in a black office lady outfit, Li Jun looked like he was on vacation.

Although Xu Baishi was jealous of how close Li Jun was to Guo Kailin, he didn't rush to speak until he figured out Li Jun's identity.

But just because he can endure it doesn't mean others can.

Sitting next to Xu Baishi, Ma Wenfeng immediately pointed at Li Jun and scolded, "Where did this brat come from? This is no place for you to come in!"

Upon hearing Ma Wenfeng's words, everyone present, including Guo Kailin's father Guo Yingcai, turned their attention to Li Jun and Guo Kailin.

As the center of attention, Li Jun ignored the stares and remained calm. However, Guo Kailin, who was standing next to him, showed a hint of nervousness in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she took Li Jun's arm and forced a smile: "Dad, this is my boyfriend, Li Jun."

'Wow~'

Guo Kailin's words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the people in the conference room, and everyone scrutinized Li Jun once again.

"Hmph, Karin, now that you've found a boyfriend like this, it seems you're prepared to admit defeat to me in front of all the board members!"

Ma Wenfeng said with a smug look on her face.

"I……"

Guo Kailin had just opened her mouth when Li Jun pulled her to his side, and then she heard Li Jun's voice in her ear: "Remember, boyfriends are a different price, you'll have to pay extra!"

After speaking, Li Jun shielded Guo Kailin behind him and glanced at Ma Wenfeng.

When Ma Wenfeng saw Li Jun looking at her, she immediately glared back, ready to embarrass the boy. However, the moment their eyes met, Ma Wenfeng instantly chickened out.

Li Jun's gaze was too terrifying for Ma Wenfeng. She was like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to look Li Jun in the eye for even a second.

Then, Li Jun's gaze swept over everyone in the conference room.

after that.

The meeting room was completely silent.

If previously these people stood in high positions, looking down on Li Jun, who was dressed casually, with disdain, then at this moment, they were like disgraced officials being summoned by their monarch.

Everyone fell silent.

Only then did Li Jun speak up: "Everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Jun. I am now the leader of the Hung Hing Society, thanks to the respect of my brothers."

'Boom~'

If Guo Kailin's statement that Li Jun was her boyfriend surprised the shareholders of the Guo Group, then they are now utterly shocked.

They never expected that the infamous "River Dragon" Li Jun was so young, and that he was the boyfriend of Guo Kailin, the second daughter of the Guo Group.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Ma Wenfeng again.

The meaning is simple: you found the son of a triad leader to be your boyfriend, and you're so arrogant. Now, Guo Kailin has directly found the triad leader to be her boyfriend. What do you have to offer in return?

"Hmph! Hung Hing Society, a second-rate triad, can't compare to Sun Kee."

Ma Wenfeng said with a feigned disdain.

But the hand she had under the table had almost bruised her thigh.

My younger sister has always been better than me in everything since we were little. She's prettier, has a better figure, is smarter, and has a higher education. Now she's even found a boyfriend who's better than me and so handsome! Damn!

Thinking of this, Ma Wenfeng was so jealous she was almost going crazy.

"Who is this?"

After Ma Wenfeng finished speaking, Li Jun turned to look at Guo Kailin and asked.

"My older sister, Ma Wenfeng."

Guo Kailin replied.

“Miss Ma, I heard from Kailin that your boyfriend is the son of the Sun Kee. Why don’t you have him repeat what you just said and tell me in person that the Hung Hing Society is a second-rate triad and can’t compare to the Sun Kee!”

Li Jun said to Ma Wenfeng with a smile.

"Shiraishi, talk to him!"

Ma Wenfeng immediately tugged at Xu Baishi's sleeve and said loudly.

Xu Baishi wanted nothing more than to slap the woman in front of him right then and there. Damn it, she was putting him on the hot seat.

If it were the old Hung Hing, it would be one thing, but the current Hung Hing has just wiped out Tung Sing, another of the six major triads, and is at the height of its power. If he said this in front of the head of the Hung Hing, wouldn't that cause an uproar in the Hong Kong underworld?

Xu Baishi isn't an idiot; he'd offend Li Jun for Ma Wenfeng.

"Shiraishi, what's wrong? Are you chickening out?"

Seeing that Xu Baishi hadn't paid any attention to her for a while, Ma Wenfeng raised her voice even higher.

"nerve!"

Xu Baishi pulled Ma Wenfeng away, then stood up and said to Li Jun, "Mr. Li, women are ignorant, please don't take it to heart. I'll take my leave now."

'Boom~'

Xu Baishi's words once again caused a huge uproar in the conference room.

No one expected that the dignified Crown Prince of the New Era would be so easily frightened away by Li Jun. What?

"Xu Baishi, try taking another step. If you dare leave here today, I'll break up with you immediately!"

Ma Wenfeng shouted loudly as she watched Xu Baishi's retreating figure.

"nerve!"

Xu Baishi stopped, cursed again, and then quickened his pace, heading towards the conference room door.

As he passed Li Jun, Xu Baishi said to him again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I absolutely did not mean to offend you or the Hung Hing Society."

“I know, Young Master Xu.”

Li Jun smiled and nodded at Xu Baishi.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

At this point, Ma Wenfeng went 'crazy'.

She kicked over both the chair she was sitting on and the chair Xu Baishi was sitting on, stomped her feet frantically on the ground, and let out a sharp scream.

Losing a boyfriend wasn't a big deal for Ma Wenfeng, since she had more than one boyfriend anyway. But Xu Baishi's departure meant she lost the opportunity to compete with Guo Kailin for the Guo Group, which was unacceptable to Ma Wenfeng.

"Someone, take the young lady away and let her rest properly."

At this moment, Guo Yingcai, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, could no longer hold back and had Ma Wenfeng pulled out of the meeting room.

After Ma Wenfeng left the meeting room, everyone's attention once again turned to Li Jun and Guo Kailin.

To be more precise, it should be applied to Li Jun.

They never expected that the succession struggle that had been raging in the Guo Group for months would be settled as soon as this man appeared.

"Kaylin, and Ah Jun, please sit down."

At this moment, Guo Yingcai's voice brought everyone back to their senses.

He then continued, "There is only one matter to be discussed at this board meeting, and that is the selection of the person in charge of the White Stone Island project."

After that, the board of directors of the Guo Group just went through the motions, since Guo Kailin was the only candidate at the moment.
