Chapter 616: Funeral or business conference.
It was a part of their world which Alix had not experienced so far, an experience meant for only the top one percent in the country. The experience was not a celebration, it was not an occasion meant for dancing and drinking but rather a business meeting of sorts. It was also not a round table kind of business meeting but actually a funeral.
This funeral was not just any other ordinary one but the funeral for the Chairman of the Shen conglomerate, Shen Xiaoping.
The Shen family was the wealthiest family in the country and no surprise, involved in the world of systems.
Alix had not yet touched them or approached them physically, the only communication between her and the Shen’s was through the calls Shen Xiaoping had rejected. Alix had not seen his sudden death coming and she could not tell if it was a blessing or curse to her cause.
"Pay attention," Auntie Mo tugged on Alix’s dress and forced her to look at the sitting arrangement which was being shown to her by her mother’s assistant on a laptop.
"So, the Qin family will be seating to our left....."
They were in the car, waiting in line behind other cars that were going through security before being allowed onto the grounds of the Shen family.
Alix’s mind drifted off again to the day before, to the beginning of an experience into the world of the top 1%. The Zhang family and Tai family were also considered to be part of that world but never before had Alix seen or participated in a funeral for the two families. This was opening her eyes slowly.
It all started when she was taken out to shop for the appropriate dress for the funeral. As soon as the news of Shen Xiaoping’s death broke, all luxury shops in the city that sold clothes and jewelry were restocked.
