The wicked wife is pregnant again and again, and she takes her whole family flying with her spatial

Until the elevator doors slowly opened.

The complete layout of the seventh floor is now in sight.

This place is designed specifically for banquets.

Although it's called the seventh floor, this floor actually includes two levels of space.

If I'm not mistaken, those sitting upstairs are the people at the very top of the pyramid.

Following Ms. Samuel's description, Yu Lian went to the second windowsill to wait for her.

The design of the seventh floor is staggered and the clever height difference makes people almost forget that they are more than ten meters in the air.

"this……"

As soon as the two sat down, they were met with strange looks.

Yu Lian had just picked up a glass of wine when He Lin took it away.

"You can't drink it."

"Is juice alright?"

"Um."

Having finally attended such a high-class banquet, all she could do was drink juice. Ignoring the stares, Yu Lian lowered her head and took a sip.

It tasted sour and not good at all, so she promptly put down the cup.

Time passed slowly, and Samuel, having finished his maneuvering, finally returned to her side.

Yu Lian guessed correctly; those small, curved private rooms protruding from the walls were indeed the exclusive spaces for industry leaders.

All eyes were on Samuel.

They all wanted to see how this eccentric duchess would treat this guest from the East of unknown origin.

But those in the know were already aware that the couple were Samuel's honored guests.

So it wasn't surprising to see Samuel being so friendly to her.

There are no secrets in this circle.

Soon, their identities quietly spread.

Samuel is getting old, and rumors of her retirement and distributing her estate had already circulated two years ago.

Her children did not have a good relationship with her, and even stated in front of outsiders on several occasions that they would not want her property. Several collateral branches of the family were also plotting against her, both openly and secretly.

They want to get a share of the profits from this turmoil.

But no one expected that, under everyone's gaze, she would be reborn, regain her spirits, and be completely transformed.

She used to be more like an ordinary woman living a simple and frugal life; now, she is a true noblewoman and the widow of a duke in the eyes of outsiders.

Lady Samuel was the wife of the seventeenth Duke of Samuel.

The Duke died young, and she single-handedly made herself and the Samuel family famous throughout Europe and America.

She used money to the extreme; she could make the most of things that were just worthless paper in other people's hands.

After inheriting her husband's enormous fortune, Mrs. Samuel became like a wild horse.

On the path to freedom and success, one becomes increasingly composed.

Even now, though she is old and retired, the vast network of business interests behind her can still affect the lives of ordinary people with just a slight movement.

Everyone present, regardless of their seniority or ability, had to show her respect.

Yu Lian finally came to know this great woman, someone who could investigate events from over a decade ago in such detail, just how terrifying her strength was.

Her admiration for Ms. Samuel was almost impossible to hide.

She simply stood by the railing and made a gesture, and the entire room fell silent instantly.

When speaking her mother tongue, Ms. Samuel became more gentle.

After deciding to accept Ms. Samuel's offer, Yu Lian continued to learn another foreign language on and off.

The results seem significant now, but more practice is still needed.

We cannot let down Ms. Samuel's good intentions.

With just a few words, Mrs. Samuel set the tone for today's banquet.

It appears relaxed on the surface, but it's still a business transaction in reality.

People come here to make connections or to use the drinking party to achieve their goals with their silver tongues.

"Come on, follow me."

After Ms. Samuel finished speaking, the room gradually returned to its lively atmosphere.

Yu Lian took He Lin's hand and followed beside Ms. Samuel.

As I went up the side staircase, I was watched by everyone along the way.

Samuel pushed the door open: "Come on, let me introduce you..."

The group of people who had been chatting and laughing in their seats immediately stood up.

He spoke to the couple in a friendly manner.

In this situation, Yu Lian should have been fully focused on dealing with people and things.

But He Lin, standing beside her, spoke fluent foreign language, which completely stunned her.

Out of respect for Mrs. Samuel, the men were initially just politely talking to these two people who were, in their view, no big deal.

However, her attitude gradually changed because of He Lin's conversation.

Samuel saw through their thoughts at a glance and further explained, "The largest local investment company in Hong Kong, involved in hundreds of industries, started from scratch and only took five years."

Todd, sitting in the far corner, recounted in detail the journey of He Lin's company.

So much so that Ms. Samuel, who originally planned to stay only a few minutes before moving on to the next place, ended up staying in the first small private room for more than an hour.

For no other reason than that this seemingly inexperienced young man possessed such remarkable skills—which, for them, represented the greatest business opportunity.

He Lin could actually sense that although the people in front of him were very interested in his project, they were still hesitant.

Even though he is now very popular in Hong Kong, he is still just an unknown businessman in foreign territory.

Even if these people aren't included in the plans for the next five years, this is an opportunity his wife fought for him, and he can't let her down.

Yu Lian looked at the outstanding man beside her, who was still at ease even when facing an old family with a history of over a hundred years.

Despite being less experienced than others, I did not lose the upper hand in the conversation.

He handled the situation with ease, facing questions, rebuttals, and probing from three people all by himself, without making a single mistake.

During this time, Yu Lian was called outside by Ms. Samuel.

She whispered a reminder: These people are notoriously picky and demanding, and they don't give people a friendly look. It's impossible for them to easily agree to cooperate on the first meeting without any background check.

Even though He Lin's performance had already earned the approval of the others.

Yu Lian came with the mindset of seeing the world, and did not have high expectations.

"Ms. Samuel, thank you. We didn't mean that. It's just that He Lin might have misunderstood, and he didn't want to let down the opportunity I fought for him."

Yu Lian immediately guessed her concerns.

Mrs. Samuel covered her mouth and chuckled, "Alright, alright, go in."

"Duchess, this lady left her bag on her seat."

Yu Lian then realized that something had been wrong all along.

Thank you.

"It's our duty. Please check if anything is missing."

Yu Lian didn't have any valuables in her bag, just a wallet and some small items.

"No, thank you again."

Yu Lian generously offered a tip, but the waiter refused, saying that the guest had found it and given it to her.

The waiter turned and hurried downstairs, followed by a woman in a black dress.

The woman was dressed exquisitely and elegantly, like a character straight out of a movie.

After exchanging brief greetings with Mrs. Samuel, she gave Yu Lian a deep look.

Then he turned sideways and walked quickly past, entering the inner private room.

The woman entered and whispered something to the man in the private room. The man waved her away.

He then looked at He Lin and said, "Mr. He, I am very interested in your company. Before you leave, would you have the opportunity to discuss this project privately?"
