Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Now, with the other party sitting right beside her, Fang Nianhan felt as if she was floating on air.

"Nianhan, how has Guangsha Bodyguard Company been developing recently? Have you encountered any troubles? If you face any difficulties, just tell Uncle Yang, and I'll definitely resolve them for you. Rest assured, here in Capital City, Uncle Yang's words still hold power."

Yang Jianguo, once known for his sternness and dominance, showed a rare warmth when facing his younger relative, Fang Nianhan. Normally, the second and third generations in Capital City would tremble nervously in front of Yang Jianguo—even his son Yang Jianguo, the future heir of the Yang family, appeared cautious and respectful in front of his father.

This was the first time Fang Nianhan was having a one-on-one discussion with the head of the Yang family. Her heart thumped loudly, but her recent experiences had significantly matured her. Flattery and obsequiousness from countless people made her realize that she was no longer a naive girl to be easily manipulated, but a top-tier boss with enormous assets at her disposal, capable of determining the fate of numerous lives.

This awareness allowed her to stabilize her emotions when facing the head of the Yang family.

She took a deep breath and then seriously said:

"Thank you for your generous love, Uncle Yang. The company is doing well—both in terms of business development and management. We have hired very professional managers to hold the reins, and there have not yet been any problems. If the company encounters any issues, I will seek help from you at that time."

Dressed in splendid attire, Fang Nianhan smiled radiantly.

She was one of the four great beauties of Capital City. Though this title was merely a result of the frivolous selection by the local second and third generations, their high standards made this acknowledgment of Fang Nianhan's beauty noteworthy.

Her beauty score of ninety-eight might not compare with those of legendary goddesses, but it was enough to overshadow most people. Indeed, combined with her massive wealth and a formidable backing, Fang Nianhan was now undoubtedly the top beauty CEO in the entire Capital City.

Even compared to the renowned beauty Yang Duoer, the young miss of the Yang family, even if her perfect beauty overshadowed Fang Nianhan, in terms of overtly controlled assets, Fang Nianhan still had the upper hand.

Of course, this did not include the terrifying power that Yang Duoer had behind her.

Yang Jianguo gently nodded, treating her like a younger relative, always wearing a gentle smile on his face.

The performance on stage was nearing its end, and everyone was immersed in the beautiful music. Just then, seemingly casual, Yang Jianguo suddenly asked again:

"Nianhan, I've heard that your backer plans to establish the third branch of the Longevity Club in our Capital City?

I've also heard about the No. 1 Longevity Pill from the Longevity Club—it's quite effective. If Mr. Chu is interested in setting up the third branch here, I happen to have a good location to offer. It's beautifully located and secluded, with ample space. If Mr. Chu is interested, I can give it to him at a rock-bottom price; what do you think?"

The tall Yang Jianguo spoke calmly, but his sharp, eagle-like eyes gave Fang Nianhan a quick glance. Just that subtle look from him suddenly made her feel a faint pressure.

Her previously floating mood abruptly sank, and she sobered up from her airy state. In a very serious tone, Fang Nianhan slowly responded:

"Uncle Yang, as you know, Mr. Chu's plans—I don't yet have the qualifications to be involved. I've only just heard that Mr. Chu is interested in establishing a third branch in Capital City, but all such matters are handled by Jia Tianze, who is in charge here. I don't possess any authority.

Since Uncle Yang has mentioned it, I can only bring it up with Jia Tianze, but I can't guarantee how things will turn out."

With her calm voice trailing off, Yang Jianguo beside her immediately nodded with a smile, and said lightly:

"Then, I shall trouble you, niece Nianhan. Let's enjoy the opera; let's just focus on enjoying the opera!"

Afterwards, the two of them stopped conversing, but at that moment, Fang Nianhan was no longer in the mood to listen to any symphony. Her delicate face was filled with gravity, as she appeared deep in thought.

As the head of one of Capital City's eight great families, Yang Jianguo's words were definitely not spoken lightly, and although Fang Nianhan was young, she had, after all, been born into not just any family and had witnessed the deceit among the top bosses.

Yang Tianxia and the Mr. Chu behind him were like fire and water, and if Fang Nianhan didn't know that, she might as well jump into a river.

Not to mention distant matters, recently Yang's supported Shiyah Cosmetics Company and Mr. Chu's supported Human April Cosmetics Company were at each other's throats, the losses probably amounting to hundreds of billions, a sum that could bankrupt many top tycoons. Only those two top bosses could disregard such losses.

Yet even so, Fang Nianhan had heard that Yang's recent cash flow seemed to be encountering some problems, and they had even sold shares in some smaller companies. Although these were minor details, when all this information was combined, it wasn't hard to guess that Yang wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with Mr. Chu.

Fang Nianhan had even heard that the Fang family's old ancestor, who was also Yang Household's Family Head Yang Tianxia's biological father, was now ninety-nine, and had not been involved in worldly affairs for the past twenty years; his health seemed to be declining.

Connecting this to the Longevity Pill that had recently become hugely popular, Fang Nianhan was starting to form an answer in her mind.

Of course, as she said herself, she was just a chess piece casually placed in Capital City by Mr. Chu. On the surface grand and impressive, she actually had not much power.

As for the selection of the site for Longevity Club Branch Three, it wasn't something she had the authority to decide.

Amid Fang Nianhan's various conjectures, the stage performance finally came to an end, and as the last note faded, thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall.

Fang Nianhan clapped lightly as well.

After the performance, everyone was invited to a banquet where fine wines and an array of gourmet food surrounded them, and high-profile tycoons exchanged greetings to the soft strains of a violin.

Hardly had Fang Nianhan arrived at the banquet when a crowd of young scions gathered around her, most with flattering expressions on their faces.

If this had been a few months earlier, Fang Nianhan would have been just a peripheral figure amongst these scions, unable to penetrate the core.

But now, months later, wherever she was, there lay the center of the entire circle.

Even the top scions who used to be out of her reach, such as Yang Jianguo, Liu Wei, the future inheritors of billions and trillions, were now polite and even somewhat obsequious before her.

"Nianhan, your dress looks really stunning, and that crystal necklace around your neck, is it Heart of the Ocean? It's just so beautiful!"

Fang Nianhan's gaze followed the sweet voice and landed on a woman with equally striking features smiling at her from behind.

Amongst the four great beauties of Capital City, aside from Fang Nianhan and Yang Duoer, there are two others, and the fairy-like girl behind her was one of them.

Previously, Fang Nianhan and she were arch enemies, hurling cold sarcasms whenever they met, but now, Fang Nianhan was no longer the same person, and she didn't even bother to look at her opponent more than necessary.

Just offering a polite nod and smile, Fang Nianhan retracted her gaze.

People from different worlds, there was no need to waste time.

At this moment, as a bunch of scions were gathered around Fang Nianhan lavishing praises, in the center of the banquet hall, including Yang Family Head Yang Tianxia, Shangyuan Entertainment's Ren Wenxuan, Luo Family Head Luo Hao, a dozen top tycoons worth billions all turned their sights to her.

Then, as the center of everyone's attention, Yang Tianxia suddenly waved over to her.

Slightly startled, but quickly gathering herself, Fang Nianhan straightened her posture.

Ignoring the envious and fearful looks of the young scions around her, she held her head high, and with poised steps, she walked towards the circle representing the summit of power.
