La forgeronne d'un autre monde

Chapitre 497

The moment they entered, they started flaunting their wealth!

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Ma Yunteng jumped directly off the helicopter. Then, the manager of the Pearl Hotel approached him and said, "Sir, please show me your invitation!"

The manager had to confirm whether this person was indeed the CEO of Calorie Group.

Ma Yunteng reached into his pocket, handed over the invitation, and then smiled slightly at the manager, saying, "May I go in now?"

The manager was taken aback, not expecting that the young man in front of him was actually the CEO of Calorie Group. He immediately gestured to Ma Yunteng with great respect, "Sir, please!"

"Hmm...not bad! Here's a tip!" Ma Yunteng smiled slightly, then took out a wad of US dollars from his pocket and threw it to the manager. The manager was overjoyed when he saw the US dollars. He had received countless big shots today, but no one had given him a tip. Those people seemed very arrogant. He felt that Ma Yunteng was much more honest!

"Thank you! Thank you, boss!" The manager looked at Ma Yunteng excitedly.

"Hehe, it's just ten thousand US dollars, no need to thank me." Ma Yunteng smiled slightly, glancing at the bosses standing on the high places, but not paying much attention to them. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and said, "Wow, the weather is nice today! Here! Another ten thousand!"

Ma Yunteng pulled out another wad of US dollars and tossed it to the manager. The manager was almost moved to tears. "Gift money for nice weather!" What a boss! This is a real boss!

Just then, a fleet of Mercedes-Benz cars arrived. The doors opened, and out stepped the ten school beauties that Ma Yunteng had previously rented.

When they arrived here and saw those big bosses they could only meet online, they were so excited they almost couldn't stand up straight!

"My God... what is this?"

"Ah! I really want to go over and get an autograph!" Several girls almost forgot what they came for, staring fervently at the business tycoons, wishing they could fly over right now to get their autographs or take a photo with them.

These are the richest tycoons in China. If they could take a photo with them, they could brag about it for the rest of their lives.

One of the school beauties immediately ran excitedly toward the CEO of Taobao.

"Come back here!" Seeing this, Ma Yunteng immediately frowned, glared at her, and said, "Can't you be a little more dignified? Go hold up the sign!"

Upon hearing this, the girl pursed her lips, then slowly retreated to the side of the car, took out the sign, and then walked shyly behind Ma Yunteng to form two lines, holding the sign in the air.

The sudden appearance of these ten school beauties had already attracted the attention of those big shots, but when they saw the words on the signs, they were instantly stunned!

What is this?

"Handsome and dashing?"

"Handsome and dashing!"

"Ma Yunteng, is he rich?"

"Haha! That's hilarious! CEO Calorie is so damn funny!"

"A nouveau riche, this is definitely a nouveau riche!"

"How poor did they have to be to do something like this?!"

“Showing off your wealth in front of us shows a lack of respect for us seniors.”

"Hmph! This kind of person doesn't deserve to be at our dinner party."

These bigwigs all felt that Jack Ma was being too high-profile, actually calling over a group of young and beautiful girls to hold up signs praising his wealth.

You might as well just have the word "rich" tattooed on your face!

"Brother, I'm the CEO of Tencent." The CEO of Tencent walked up to Ma Yunteng and introduced himself with a wry smile.

"Nice to meet you." Ma Yunteng extended his hand to shake his, and Ma Yunteng remembered his voice.

"Let's go in quickly, the speech is about to start!" the CEO of Tencent said enthusiastically.

"A speech?" Ma Yunteng was taken aback. "What speech? Isn't it just dinner?"

Ma Yunteng found it strange. The invitation clearly stated that this was a dinner party for China's top figures; how did it get involved in a speech?

"A speech?" Ma Yunteng was taken aback. "What speech? Isn't it just dinner?"

Ma Yunteng found it strange. The invitation clearly stated that this was a dinner party among China's top leaders, so how did it get involved in a speech?

“Brother, you don’t know this, this is your first time attending a dinner like this. Actually, every year before the dinner really starts, there’s a very formal round of speeches. Through these speeches, everyone will vote for their own richest person in China,” the CEO of Tencent patiently explained.

"Isn't it based on some kind of ranking list to see who is the richest person in China?" Ma Yunteng remembered that there was a Forbes list or something, which specifically counted how much money people had and who was the richest person in China.

"Hehe, those wealth rankings don't actually reflect who the real richest person is. The richest person we select ourselves is the most convincing," the CEO of Tencent said seriously.

Ma Yunteng nodded.

I was even more excited about this dinner party.

To put it bluntly, it's just a group of big shots bragging to each other. Whoever brags the best gets everyone's approval and becomes the richest person in China in everyone's eyes.

Ma Yunteng felt these big shots were boring, but thinking about it, they were also quite interesting.

Bragging to the big boss?

Who wouldn't want that?

"To put it bluntly, it's just bragging, isn't it?" Ma Yunteng said with a slight smile.

"Haha! You're quite perceptive, bro! That's basically how it works!" The CEO of Tencent laughed heartily. "However, bragging requires capital, you know. You have to show off your wealth, otherwise, people will just laugh it off. Last year at a dinner party, there was a boss who talked about how rich he was. After his speech, everyone thought that there probably wasn't anyone as rich as him in the entire galaxy. But guess what happened in the end?"
