"Is this the venue for the party?" Hao Jian turned his head, looking at Shu Ya, as he gazed at the three-story villa sparkling with dazzling lights. "This is the place we're attending the party, where many influential figures will gather, discuss business," Shu Ya nodded, looking at Hao Jian, "Our goal this time is to get those East Ocean executives to nod and help our branch." Looking at the villa in front of him, Hao Jian's eyes slightly glinted, then he reached out to rub Shu Ya's hair, saying with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll definitely help you rope in those so-called influential figures." "I won't let our East Ocean branch have any errors." At this point, Hao Jian suddenly asked, "But are you sure you can do it?" Shu Ya squinted her beautiful eyes and said, "With the capabilities of my subordinates, they'll definitely make an impression at the party and gain something." "Since you're confident, I'm assured." This time, Shu Ya obtained a total of six invitations; she and Hao Jian each held one, while the remaining four were tossed to her subordinates she brought along. She let them mix into the party, intending for them to use their abilities, make an impression at the event, and strive to gain some connections. They also need to settle down in East Ocean because relying solely on Kuo Tianzheng is not enough for the branch's survival, and these people know their roles. Therefore, the tasks Shu Ya allocated them brought no dissatisfaction; instead, they were eager, brimming with confidence as they entered the party in advance. After checking the tickets at the entrance, Hao Jian followed Shu Ya into the villa. The villa is a three-story building, characteristic of East Ocean style, surrounded by small gardens and lawns on all sides. Simple white tables and chairs are placed on the lawn, adorned with various foods that tempt one's appetite. Illuminated by lights, the entire villa was bright as daylight, though Hao Jian and the others might have arrived slightly early, as a sparse group of people walked around, while some gathered on the second-floor balcony laughing and chatting. .............................. "Lord Yamamoto, it's truly astonishing to see you attending this event!" On the second-floor balcony, a crowd surrounded a man appearing around thirty-eight years old, faces filled with reverence and fervor, with one man smiling at him. This East Ocean party was indeed organized by this speaker; his name is Nakano Yuta, a neutral corporate president whose enterprise serves not ordinary people but companies reaching a certain scale. The main business of his enterprise is connection, that is, organizing various parties or exchange events to allow companies to join and potentially reach cooperation intentions. Of course, attending these exchange activities isn't merely based on willingness; first, you must be a legal corporate representative, as those present are corporate legal figures or representatives with significant power. Secondly, the most crucial aspect is money, with exchange fees collected according to your enterprise's strength. Generally, the weaker your company, the more money you pay, while companies reaching a certain level might receive travel expenses from Nakano Yuta instead of paying a fee. This travel cost is essentially an invitation fee, considering that companies are the key participants in such exchange meetings, especially those powerful enterprises! Every month before the exchange meeting commences, Nakano Yuta would meticulously gather information on various nearby enterprises within East Ocean, investigate carefully, and finally decide which companies to invite. This is why Shu Ya was able to obtain the invitation... However, although it's stated this way, today's party is not solely serving the growth of individual enterprises anymore; it's slowly evolving into a coalition-building venue for enterprises or political figures. Take the man standing in front of Nakano Yuta, whose status is arguably among the top in the area because he's one of the four most powerful figures in East Ocean. Yamamoto Ichiro is one of East Ocean's four experts, possessing unimaginable power, even more significantly, he's connected with countless East Ocean political figures. It's safe to say that in all of East Ocean, except for the Prime Minister, whatever issue he chooses to tackle can be resolved with a word from him, and alongside him, there are three others with similar power. Because they are the four strongest individuals in East Ocean, also serving as the main force in searching for various secretive information externally. "I'm here to see if there's anything worth playing around with." Yamamoto Ichiro arrogantly glanced at Nakano Yuta, looking down from the second floor, searching for his target of this visit. Upon hearing this, Nakano Yuta was momentarily stunned, then showed an understanding expression, while others around Yamamoto Ichiro displayed expressions of comprehension, and several even spoke up. "Lord Yamamoto, if you need beauties, just tell us, we'll help you get them!" "Indeed! With our power, what beauties can't we retrieve?" "Hehe, Lord Yamamoto, I have a beauty at home yet untouched; just say the word and I'll deliver her to you!" Yamamoto Ichiro has a habit, an affinity for women; the more beautiful they are, the more he desires them, wanting to possess them. From then until now, countless women have been ruined by him, yet he relishes it, indiscriminately capturing them for fun and discarding them afterward. Though angry, these women can't match Yamamoto Ichiro's level as one of East Ocean's top four experts; their efforts might be thwarted even before beginning due to his awareness. Thus, shielded by such a status, he consistently lives smoothly, playing with women one after another, while knowing his nature, political figures and corporate presidents exploit it as leverage. Anyone able to appease Yamamoto Ichiro, earning even a slight favor or receiving a promise from him, is undeniably assured of a secure position in East Ocean without many daring to offend them. However, causing them disappointment is Yamamoto Ichiro never accepting anything from them; everything he obtains is self-acquired, leaving them helpless and unable to act. Seeing him now, these corporate heads remain unwilling to give up, attempting to gain advantage from Yamamoto Ichiro, yet how could he, aware of their intentions, be ignorant of these businessmen's thoughts? Ascended among East Ocean's top four, Yamamoto Ichiro is not a fool nor a presumptuous simpleton; he knows these political figures and heads inten, aware that associating them could exploit his name for personal gain externally. East Ocean has many powerful individuals, not limited to merely the four; yet why do others fail to rise while only they ascend? The intricacies are many; just like Yamamoto Ichiro, although fond of women, he acquires them alone or relies on his power to attain them. He never requests others' assistance, avoiding indebtedness, knowing such favors could lead to turmoil and potentially entangle him in related mishaps. Numerous individuals perform deeds, while fools act recklessly; Yamamoto Ichiro consciously avoids certain interactions to uphold his status. While disdainful of these individuals, his previously half-closed eyes suddenly opened wide, face revealing shock, then unexpectedly extending his tongue to lick lips with fervor. Merely because he now spots a woman who captivates him deeply; instantly deciding to secure her under his influence! "Who is this woman, does anyone recognize her?" Unable to remain seated, Yamamoto Ichiro immediately turns, looking at these political and corporate leaders, pointing at the woman below, speaking with excitement. Upon hearing his words, they ponder momentarily, subsequently rushing to the balcony's edge, striving to focus their sight below, attempting to identify the woman Yamamoto Ichiro referred to. When gazing below, their eyes sparkled, merely because they now observed a beauty, a woman of heavenly allure. Seeing the woman triggered shock on Nakano Yuta's face, swiftly recalling something, displaying a troubled expression thereafter. "What's the matter? Speak!" Yamamoto Ichiro noticed Nakano Yuta's demeanor, growing anxious; is this guy courting death by daring concealing it from him?! Prompted, Nakano Yuta finally turns, facing Yamamoto Ichiro, appearing troubled, gesturing at the woman below, saying, "Lord Yamamoto, I'm not hesitant due to fear; it's just this woman's background is extraordinary..." "Initially, I didn't anticipate her return, merely probing by extending some invitations, yet seeing her now, I'm also stunned..." The rıghtful source is novel※fire.net In the woman's immediate recognition, Nakano Yuta's thoughts surged like a tidal wave; originally seeking experimental engagement, yet now realizing she truly arrived, he struggled articulating his feelings. After all, standing on that little lawn is a woman capable of stunning all of East Ocean, a global-level president, indeed! "This woman is none other than Shu Ya Group's president, Miss Shu Ya..."
