Chapter 325: The White-Haired Elder
Li Wei turned his head to glance at Liu Yunxi with a smile and said, "Yunxi’s father is the chairman of the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber in the Capital. In the Capital, any project that exceeds a billion requires approval from the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber. Moreover, the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber itself possesses a vast amount of commercial resources. Every major enterprise in the Capital maintains a good relationship with the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber. There’s even a widely known warning in the Capital: you could offend the leading enterprises in all industries, but never the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber!"
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows. He hadn’t expected Liu Yunxi to have such an impressive background.
No wonder she didn’t give Li Wei any face as an artist under Tianxing Entertainment. It turned out she had such a terrifying background.
Chen Fan smiled at Liu Yunxi and said, "I didn’t realize you were a wealthy lady."
Liu Yunxi didn’t show any pride. Instead, she seemed somewhat annoyed, as if she didn’t like to talk about her family background. She pouted and said, "Even if the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber has considerable influence in the Capital, in the end, it’s still just working for the King of Towers. There’s nothing to envy."
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows. "The King of Towers? What’s that?"
Li Wei, who was beside them, laughed and said, "The King of Towers is a legend that has been around in the Capital for many years. Rumor has it that he owns half of the commercial buildings and office towers in the Capital. Most of the office locations of Yunxi’s family are leased from the buildings owned by the King of Towers. The annual rent they pay is astronomical. Not just the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber, but many of Tianxing Entertainment’s office locations are also leased from the King of Towers’ commercial buildings."
"That’s why people often joke that most of the enterprises in the Capital are working for the King of Towers; after all, the money they earn has to be used to pay rent to the King of Towers."
"However, the King of Towers is very mysterious. Basically, no one has ever seen him, and some even suspect that the King of Towers is just fabricated. The real backers behind those office buildings might be multinational investment organizations. Whether that’s true or false is unknown."
Chen Fan hadn’t expected that such a powerful figure existed in the Capital, someone who owned half of the Capital’s commercial buildings and office towers.
