Some people signed a few words and handed over their treasures, while others hesitated for three years, finally waiting for the opportunity to step from behind the scenes to the forefront!
To celebrate the arrival of this day, Ou Yunchen specifically held a grand banquet. He wanted to announce to the public that Xu Shuming was finished!
***
Su Ruiyi: "From now on, I will accompany you through every important moment of your life, okay?"
Su Ruiyi snatched a bow tie from her secretary and held it against Ou Yunchen's shirt, measuring until she was satisfied. Otherwise, she wouldn't let him go.
Ou Yunchen looked at himself in the mirror. After so many years of business wars, he had been completely reborn. No one would ever see his youthful immaturity again.
Now, Ou Yunchen was no longer a greenhorn fresh out of school, but a well-known and outstanding entrepreneur in the business world.
At this moment, he had established his position.
Su Ruiyi took out a pair of high-end custom diamond cufflinks and fastened them for Ou Yunchen.
Both of them stood in front of the mirror. Anyone who saw them would sincerely praise them, what a perfect match!
Ou Yunchen: "Ruby, you can leave now."
Now only Ou Yunchen and Su Ruiyi were left in the room. The pheromones in the air were gradually dissipating. He didn't keep Su Ruiyi by his side for romance.
Su Ruiyi: "Why so serious? Are you going to propose to me today?"
Ou Yunchen smiled. He wouldn't.
Ou Yunchen took Su Ruiyi's hand and apologized earnestly.
Ou Yunchen: "Yiyi, after today, the Su Corporation will no longer belong to Xu Shuming..."
Su Ruiyi: "I know."
Ou Yunchen: "And it won't be yours either..."
Su Ruiyi gave a wry smile. This was not the outcome she wanted, but in the entire plan, she was just a pawn. What right did she have to ask Ou Yunchen for the fruits of victory...
Su Ruiyi: "Is it for revenge? My mother didn't believe you back then and kicked you out of ATL?"
Ou Yunchen: "Not at all... From the day we met at the airport, you were part of my plan, including Mrs. Su's promise..."
Su Ruiyi's eyes turned red. She avoided his gaze. Now it seemed like she had Ou Yunchen, but also like she had nothing at all...
Ou Yunchen: "If one day you want to be my enemy, I hope you won't show mercy and will defeat me with any cruel and immoral methods."
Su Ruiyi: "You don't have to marry me either..."
Ou Yunchen: "Yiyi..."
Su Ruiyi: "Actually, nothing has changed. The Su Corporation didn't belong to the Su family to begin with. What I have now are the shares my grandfather left me, which are enough for me to squander..."
Su Ruiyi looked up and smiled, but that smile hid too much helplessness.
Su Ruiyi: "As long as you are willing to use me forever, I will dare to walk with you. When you get tired, old, and can't play anymore, I will take care of you."
Ou Yunchen sighed softly. He really wanted to embrace this fleeting happiness and do all the things he wanted to do but hadn't yet with this proud princess.
Su Ruiyi: "Alright, I've compromised, so don't sigh anymore."
"I'm not smart, so I could only help my mom kick that scumbag out. Taking back the Su Corporation after that is too difficult for me."
Ou Yunchen, hearing Su Ruiyi's voice slightly choked with tears, couldn't help but pull her into his arms.
The moment the doors were opened, the much-anticipated Ou Yunchen stood on a stage on the second floor, with a crowd of congratulators below.
He slowly raised his champagne glass, toasting all the guests, and also to his past self.
No wonder merchants always chased the feeling of success, because it was too dazzling!
Look, all those glittering, resplendent lights existed only to attract the king wearing a crown!
***
Just as everyone was raising their glasses to celebrate Ou Yunchen, Su Ruiyi, who stood by his side, couldn't help but arouse some suspicion.
This man had taken her father's group, so why could she still stand here and chat and laugh with everyone.
But she was willing. To be a woman by the king's side, one had to pay a price, right?
Z: "Brother, congratulations."
Ou Yunchen lightly clinked glasses with him.
Z: "Miss Su, you are truly stunning today."
Su Ruiyi straightened her chest. She had deliberately chosen a slightly off-the-shoulder gown, but Ou Yunchen, in front of Z, adjusted it for her.
Colin: "Bravo!"
Z: "Colin?"
Colin just glanced at Z and then focused all his attention on Su Ruiyi.
Colin picked up Su Ruiyi's hand and, like a gentleman, kissed the back of her hand. But Su Ruiyi recoiled her hand with disdain, hid it behind her dress, and wiped it repeatedly.
Ou Yunchen: "Welcome, Mr. Colin."
Colin: "Shall we take a photo together?"
Ou Yunchen: "Sure."
Ou Yunchen raised his hand, and the photographer quickly followed, taking a picture of them.
Now, Ou Yunchen had completely revealed his relationship with this distinguished businessman who had traveled from afar.
There were no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world.
He had once regarded both Ben and Colin as enemies, following Old Tang's orders. But now...
They could stand side by side and become a community of interest.
Colin: "Z, you've recovered well."
Z: "Thanks to O's help."
Su Ruiyi poked her head out, O? Z? What were these names?!
Ou Yunchen: "Yiyi, get me a glass of champagne."
Su Ruiyi understood. He wanted her to leave, as there were some things they couldn't say in front of her.
Colin: "Oh no, why do you always send my princess away?"
Ou Yunchen: "She's mine, not yours."
Colin made a puffing sound to express his disapproval.
Z: "Brother, why are you with Colin?"
Colin: "What about me? O likes me, right?"
Ou Yunchen went along with him and fist-bumped. He didn't want to embarrass Colin in front of so many people. Most importantly, he wanted everyone to believe that his relationship with Colin was closer!
Ou Yunchen: "Colin has helped me a lot. We now have common goals and will cooperate more happily in the future."
Z: "Although I don't like him, if Brother considers him a friend, then I..."
Colin was the first to extend his hand, and Z also fist-bumped him.
Colin seemed to be in good spirits today and in a great mood. He didn't show his perverted side, instead appearing more like a witty and humorous foreign gentleman among the group.
At this moment, Yao Qianxun walked over. She was also on the invitation list, but she was more interested in meeting Colin.
Yao Qianxun: "Mr. Ou, congratulations."
Ou Yunchen: "Thank you. I haven't seen you in a while. Where have you been?"
Yao Qianxun: "I went to Country M with my master."
Ou Yunchen briefly introduced Yao Qianxun and also mentioned Colin's name.
Colin: "Crypto?"
Yao Qianxun seized the opportunity to introduce Bitcoin to Colin. To her surprise, Colin burst into laughter, making everyone very awkward.
Colin: "Miss Yao, can I join you? I'm also very interested in this market."
Yao Qianxun: "Of course, as long as you have enough funds. However, the current price is a bit high."
Colin: "One million... dollars, is that enough?"
Yao Qianxun: "It's enough..."
Colin: "Mr. Ou, you should join too. I think this is something worth investing in."
Ou Yunchen: "Rather than becoming a leek, I'm more interested in finding out who the capital behind T-coin is."
Colin: "Look at him, always so humorless."
Colin casually put his arm around Yao Qianxun's waist: "Miss Yao, this is my business card. I think we have a lot to talk about."
Ou Yunchen and Z watched as Colin led Yao Qianxun towards a deserted corner, and could only pray that he wouldn't do anything excessive.
Z: "I don't think Colin is genuinely interested in crypto..."
Ou Yunchen: "One million dollars to buy a beautiful woman's favor, for him, that's the price of an encounter."
Z: "Brother, doesn't Su Ruiyi know who you are?"
Ou Yunchen: "No."
Z: "Aren't you planning to tell her? Aren't you planning to marry her?"
Ou Yunchen: "No plans. I can't guarantee my own survival, let alone promise her anything."
Just then, an uninvited guest arrived in the banquet hall!
