"Sheng, I really didn’t expect you to be friends with Luo Danlun from the Luo Family. You truly have hidden depths. Add to that your position as the Executive President of Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region, and this partnership holds great potential! Perhaps the favorable terms you’ve secured are even more generous than ours!" Soruns chuckled and said to Bai Xiaosheng with a smile. The last sentence was said half-jokingly by Soruns. Even with Bai Xiaosheng’s connection to Luo Danlun, it was impossible for him to secure more favorable terms than Soruns in the partnership. Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Soruns but didn’t say anything about the topic. Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying couldn’t help but exchange a glance behind Bai Xiaosheng, their eyes filled with amused helplessness. Soruns had probably misunderstood something... However, Bai Xiaosheng naturally wouldn’t explain it to him; there was no need. Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng was unwilling to talk more about his "friendship" with Luo Danlun, Soruns didn’t press further; everyone has their own privacy. Soruns naturally shifted the topic to the landscape and architecture of the Luo Family’s residence. The further they walked inside, the more impressive it felt. The view was expansive, with every step revealing a new scene. Although it was nighttime, the bright lights allowed everything to be seen clearly. Some places were slightly dim, but had a unique charm. The beauty of the architecture blended with nature and harmonized with the atmosphere. Even someone like Soruns, an outsider, couldn’t help but express admiration. Bai Xiaosheng also found the courtyard visually pleasing, and having once exchanged ideas on architecture and garden design with Master Song Kai, he was interested in these things. Bai Xiaosheng even introduced Soruns to the principles of feng shui in the courtyard. The landscaping of a Huaxia courtyard had many considerations, with intriguing philosophies and logic, which Soruns nodded to frequently as he listened. Finally, they reached outside a grand hall, which from the entrance, could be seen to host many guests inside. Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and Soruns’s assistant were stopped by people waiting outside and invited to an adjacent hall. Bai Xiaosheng followed Soruns inside. As soon as Soruns arrived, many guests noticed him and greeted him. Soruns also reciprocated the greetings. On the way there, Bai Xiaosheng had heard that the guests here all had respectable statuses, but they were not among the most prestigious guests. The most prestigious ones, including elders from the Soruns Family, were resting elsewhere. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Guests of different levels and ages wouldn’t be entertained together. Between them, there was no topic for communication, nor any need to communicate. Bai Xiaosheng was already aware of such differentiated guest arrangements. After all, he had attended quite a few grand occasions. While Soruns was busy interacting with people, Bai Xiaosheng politely declined his offer to introduce him and went solo to the bar to savor a drink slowly. At this moment, by the main entrance. Luo Danlun waved over a butler, called him to a secluded place, and instructed him thoroughly on some matters. The butler nodded repeatedly, remembering everything without needing a second reminder. After all, working for the Luo Family required that level of skill; otherwise, how could he survive? "Go ahead and take care of it. It’s late now, and most of the guests have arrived. Once that side is ready, I’ll join shortly!" Luo Danlun waved his hand, directing him to proceed. The butler nodded respectfully and left quickly. Luo Danlun looked towards the courtyard, a cold smile in his eyes, "Bai Xiaosheng! Coming to my Luo Family, thinking of doing business? Well, I’ll certainly entertain you properly!" Then, Luo Danlun muttered to himself, "However, Soruns’s status is notable, and I truly can’t afford to disrespect him. Well then, let Bai Xiaosheng sit for a while with my group of brothers!" Meanwhile, in the main hall. Soruns walked around with a glass of wine, greeted those worthy of conversation, and returned to Bai Xiaosheng’s side for a chat and another drink.

With a smile, Bai Xiaosheng nodded politely, playing along as if in agreement. Soruns glanced around and then at Bai Xiaosheng, laughing, "There are quite a few beauties here looking at you." "Beauties in their forties, huh?" Bai Xiaosheng replied in a low voice without looking. The prominent women here were at least in their forties. According to Soruns, in terms of level, the younger generation who relied solely on family to gain prominence were rarely qualified to enter here, and those who were, were generally not young anymore. Someone of Bai Xiaosheng’s age drinking inside was indeed a rarity. Naturally, many women were curiously observing him. Those women, though at least over forty, were all successful and well-off, well-maintained, even in their forties boasting slim waists and slender legs, with faces as youthful as those of young girls. This is the advantage of wealth. Riding in luxury cars, spared from the elements, enjoying beauty treatments during leisure times to pamper their faces and waists, they truly manage to diminish the ravages of time, sometimes even appear to age in reverse. Seeing them, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but have thoughts. However, these thoughts were naturally not of any sensual nature. Compared to these well-maintained women, Bai Xiaosheng fondly recalled Wei Xuelian, as if a celestial being descended to the mortal world, with unparalleled beauty. Beside him, he had an exceptional woman — Lin Weiwei, who could be both reserved and gentle or formidable and powerful!
