Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

In the hotel, Li Jing sat on a single leather sofa, crossing his legs while watching a middle-aged man giving a talk, with a PPT projection behind him to complement his explanation.

Today, he was invited to attend a high-end private banking event.

According to the private bank, this was a gathering organized exclusively for its senior members.

Initially, Li Jing was quite curious and eagerly came over, only to find it was just a high-end version of a large auditorium set up in a hotel. After some small activities organized by the bank staff, the members began to share their entrepreneurial experiences.

The middle-aged man on the stage was wearing a shirt and trousers, sporting a Rolex on his wrist. He stood confidently sharing his entrepreneurial experience:

"I'm honored to share my experiences in chain restaurant management with everyone here.

I believe the brand is the soul of a chain restaurant. First, we need to clarify our brand positioning and identify our target customer group. For example, if we are targeting the young people…"

There were quite a few participants at this private event, and Li Jing looked around, spotting approximately a dozen or two people, mostly middle-aged men and women.

At a glance, Li Jing seemed to be the youngest among them.

He lazily listened to the middle-aged bald man's talk while munching on the exquisite desserts on the side table of his sofa.

He roughly understood that the bank organized this private event to create a circle of wealthy individuals to facilitate high-end members in sharing information and entrepreneurial experiences.

However, Li Jing had neither entrepreneurial experience nor valuable information to share.

So, after declining the bank's invitation to speak on stage, Li Jing sat bored on the sofa listening to various members' success stories.

Since they were not very familiar with each other, they naturally wouldn't reveal their real business secrets, so most of what was shared was just superficial.

Compared to the sharing, the more important aspect of this meeting was getting to know each other and expanding their networks.

Once the sharing part ended, simply sitting on the sofa was enough for several business owners to come over voluntarily to chat and exchange contacts.

"President Li, it's remarkable that someone so young has already become a black card member of the private bank."

A glamorously dressed middle-aged woman approached with a broad smile, showing great interest, "I wonder which industry President Li is in?"

"I'm not doing much, just a free spirit." Li Jing responded confidently with a smile, "Unlike President Zhang, who is both beautiful and capable, I can't compare."

Earlier, this President Zhang had also shared about her company and brand on stage, showing considerable strength.

Upon hearing this, President Zhang smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Li Jing's wrist, "A free spirit can't afford a Patek Philippe." Fi.nd the so-ur+ce of t-hi.s c-ha^p+t@e+r at M|V|L-&E-M.P+YR@.

Seeing that Li Jing was reluctant to say more, she didn't press further, instead taking out a business card to hand to him, professionally smiling, "President Li, if there's a need in the future, feel free to collaborate with our company anytime."

Such conversations occurred several times for Li Jing, and each time he gave similar answers. The constant fake smiling had even made his facial muscles a bit stiff.

Even though Li Jing bluntly stated he had no career, the other members didn't think the same.

On one side of the room, three members were holding wine glasses, chatting and complimenting each other, including the private bank's director, Yu Yang.

"President Yu, that young President Li is so mysterious, can't you give us a hint?"

The middle-aged woman who had spoken with Li Jing earlier seemed particularly interested in the young and promising Li Jing, and couldn't help but probe Yu Yang for information.

Yu Yang, knowing her interest in young and successful men, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "President Zhang, I really don't know President Li's situation, but I can tell you, President Li isn't easy to handle."

"Even President Zhang can't handle it?"

The middle-aged bald man who had shared entrepreneurial experiences earlier seemed quite familiar with President Zhang and exclaimed in surprise, "President Zhang's strength ranks among the top three in this group today. Could it be that President Li is even more powerful?"

"Gentlemen, I really can't disclose client information."

Yu Yang, repeatedly questioned by several people, looked helpless, "But I can guarantee that President Li's strength is definitely not weak, so if you can befriend President Li, you should. That's really all I can say."

Hearing the implication in Yu Yang's words, the bald middle-aged man and others had slightly changed expressions and looked at each other subtly, all casting glances at Li Jing, who was sitting alone on the sofa eating desserts, feeling increasingly intrigued at his simplicity.

Originally, Li Jing was just sitting there eating, but now, in their eyes, he seemed to have an extraordinary aura, becoming inscrutably sophisticated.

Thanks to Yu Yang, Li Jing had a few more rounds of fake smiling exchanges with several business owners, and then they exchanged contacts.

Subsequently, after the communication segment, the staff organized a meal at the hotel for everyone, which marked the end of this high-end members' private event.

Apart from gaining several contacts from Celestial Sea City in his WeChat friends, Li Jing's greatest achievement was the videos he recorded.

Following An Tong's suggestion, Li Jing shot some simple videos during the private event that didn't involve important information, sending them to An Tong for editing, with post-production and publishing all handled by An Tong.

Although it's Li Jing's account, his main role is just as an idle boss, simply capturing bits of his life.

...

At the hotel's hall where the private event was held.

Yang Xiaoxiu, dressed in a plain coat, hurried to the lounge area, and seeing the curly-haired girl among them, she was slightly delighted, immediately stepping forward and saying, "Huang Ying, I've finally found you."

Huang Ying, who was Yang Xiaoxiu's curly-haired roommate, wasn't surprised to see her, but instead, fished out a piece of key from her bag to hand over, frowning slightly, "I only have this piece, don't lose it."

"I'm really sorry, I've been helping out at the film set every day these days, I might have left the dorm key there."

After receiving the key, Yang Xiaoxiu repeatedly thanked her.

However, upon hearing her mention helping out on set every day, not being chosen by the film set seemed like a slight to Huang Ying, making her internally displeased as she retorted with a pout, "You're just playing a minor role, what's the point of going to the set every day? Someone who doesn't know might think you're the lead."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiu stiffened for a moment, then forced a smile, "It's not a bad thing to go to the set often and learn many things."

"You better not let going to the set every day interfere with your studies, the counselor has mentioned this about you."

Huang Ying looked at her makeup-free, plain face, shaking her head, "Xiaoxiu, this won't do. This is the best time for us girls. Instead of wasting time on that small role, you should dress yourself up and make connections with upper-class people. You should know, in this society, connections and money are what truly matter."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiu's expression was not too good, but she still stood firm, "I believe that sharpening one's skills on their own is necessary. Only when you are capable yourself can you better seize opportunities…"

"Pfft…"

Before she finished, Huang Ying covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh Xiaoxiu, your theories are so outdated. Look at our senior students, how hard they've been working on acting, but how many of them have succeeded?

And those who have resources and connections become famous all over the country even without acting skills, despite having expressionless faces."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiu initially wanted to argue back, but found she didn't know what to say, as what the other person said was indeed true.

Seeing her unable to respond, Huang Ying's lips curled slightly in satisfaction, "Therefore, you should listen to me, spend money dressing up, if necessary take a loan, refine your looks—that's a true investment in yourself, because only then can you attract more outstanding men."

As she spoke, she lifted her left hand to glance at the Longines watch on her wrist, with a hint of boastfulness, "My boyfriend will be down soon, he attended today's private banking high-end event, mingling with bosses whose assets range from millions to even billions.

You'll soon see those successful people coming down. If you follow my advice and dress up, maybe you'll have a chance later.

But with your current appearance…not to criticize, but with their perspective, they might not even give you a second glance."
