Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 651 - 652: Who Says I'm Not Qualified?

"I don't care, Cui Yongyuan, if you can't get the gem for me this time, I'll break up with you!" Cui Yongyuan's girlfriend glared at him fiercely.

"Don't worry, darling, I'm determined to win it!"

"That's more like it!" Cui Yongyuan's girlfriend gave a charming smile, "I'll take good care of you tonight."

Listening to their sweet whispering, Murong Bai felt an unusual sadness in his heart. He was now a cripple, unable to enjoy the joys women brought him. Otherwise, that diamond necklace would have surely been his today.

Seeing Murong Bai's pale face, a gleam of smugness flashed in Peng Fei's eyes. Since Murong Bai couldn't continue the Murong Family line, it seemed Peng Fei had a chance to compete for the Murong Family's fortune, even if he wasn't Murong Yunlong's son.

Speaking of which, Peng Fei had to thank Xiao Tianyu.

On the other side.

Murong Yunlong, exuding a cold aura, walked towards the front, but was surrounded by various media reporters. As the main figure of this financial conference, it was natural for these reporters to interview him.

Flashes from cameras continuously illuminated him, as if he were the protagonist surrounded by a halo. Of course, these flashes were from digital cameras.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Hong, a reporter from Eastern Weekly!" A reporter spoke, "May I ask, President Murong, what are your views on this financial conference?"

"President Murong, how confident are you in being elected as the financial chairman?"

"President Murong, did you join forces with several companies just for today?"

"..."

Various reporters from Eastern Weekly, Wind and Cloud Evening News, Fengzhou City TV station... began to question him. Suddenly, Murong Yunlong found himself the center of attention.

With deep eyes, Murong Yunlong glanced at the reporters and said calmly, "You're asking about my confidence? I've never considered this question, and whether or not anyone will support me, I'm also unsure!"

"Such an important position as financial chairman, President Murong, don't you have any confidence?"

"It's not that I've considered such confidence, but that doesn't mean the position of financial chairman is beyond my reach!" Murong Yunlong said calmly, "Not considering how much confidence I have and the position of financial chairman are two different things!"

"So you're saying..."

"Let me put it this way!" Murong Yunlong interrupted, "I haven't considered how confident I am because I don't need to. The position of financial chairman is mine. Is this answer satisfying?"

Silence!

With these words, the hall fell into an unexpected silence, clearly shocked by Murong Yunlong's words. So this is what it means to have never considered confidence? Speaking of showing off, the older ones are indeed more experienced.

Alright, I give full marks to him for showing off.

Many people secretly thought to themselves, they'd seen refined masters of showing off before, but someone like Murong Yunlong was a first.

Indeed, Murong Yunlong's words were quite arrogant.

Even the presidents of the other top ten corporations were shocked by Murong Yunlong's words. However, considering the background of the Murong Group, Murong Yunlong indeed had the clout to say such things.

Then, under countless gazes, Murong Yunlong took a step towards the head table and sat in the spot originally reserved for the four big corporations, including Nanfeng Group and Hengtian Shares.

Such a scene doesn't need further explanation.

With this, apart from the Gu Corporation, the chairpersons of the other nine major enterprises in Fengzhou City were all present. Of course, there were also some well-known companies, but without being among the top ten, they naturally had no right to be elected as financial chairman.

They only had voting rights.

After Murong Yunlong took his seat, a middle-aged man on the judges' table stood up and spoke into the microphone, "Since everyone is here, I now declare this financial conference officially open!"

"Is it starting?" Many business figures showed signs of excitement, as each financial conference kicked off with an auction, and the rumored Heart of the Blue Sea was the highlight.

"Wait..." Just as the conference was about to begin, a crisp voice came through, and many turned their eyes to see a stunning goddess standing at the hall entrance, holding an LV bag, dazzling everyone.

"Gu Yunxi, it's Gu Yunxi, why is she here?" Someone exclaimed, "The Gu Corporation has already collapsed, does she still qualify to attend the financial conference?"

No matter what, Gu Yunxi remained one of Fengzhou City's three goddesses. Her arrival drew an unknown amount of attention, overshadowing all the girlfriends of the rich heirs.

Today's Gu Yunxi wore a black professional outfit, with gorgeous curled hair draped over her shoulders, emanating an aura that kept people at a distance, allowing only admiration but not desecration.

This scene was puzzling because they detected no signs of despair in Gu Yunxi's eyes.

Moreover, beside Gu Yunxi stood an extraordinarily handsome young man, with an aura even surpassing hers.

"Who is he, and what's his relationship with Gu Yunxi?" Someone asked.

"He must be the mysterious boyfriend that Gu Yunxi announced at the press conference!"

"So handsome, such a perfect match with Gu Yunxi!"

"A perfect match?"

With these words, many people's eyes fell on Murong Bai. Everyone knew Gu Yunxi was once Murong Bai's fiancée, but now she had become someone else's girlfriend. This situation left one at a loss for words.

Feeling the strange gazes around him, a deep resentment flickered in Murong Bai's eyes, "A pair of cheating lovers, after today, it will be the day of your demise. After killing you, I'll strip you naked and hang your bodies on the city wall!"

"Murong Bai, what's wrong?" Murong Pengfei sneered, "Is having your girlfriend taken away making you feel bad? But I can't blame you, I'd feel the same if it were me!"

"Murong Pengfei, you!"

"Don't look at me like this. I'm now also one of the Murong Family's heirs, as for you, you're already finished!" With that, Murong Pengfei ignored Murong Bai.

He then turned his gaze towards Xiao Tianyu and Gu Yunxi. At last night's banquet, when he was showing off, Xiao Tianyu had given him a hard slap, a grudge he couldn't forget.

Then, Murong Pengfei sneered, "The Gu Corporation has collapsed, yet she still has the face to attend the financial conference? Not afraid of embarrassing herself!"

"Pengfei, with what you say, maybe she doesn't even have a ticket!"

"I think so too, the financial conference didn't invite her, where did she get the gold card?"

"..."
