I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Completely immersed in the joy of acquiring that piece of land, how could one think of those trivial details from before with Penguin? Now that a new enterprise was to be started, the initial reaction was to politely decline. However, upon seeing Mr. Ma’s expression, it was clear that a refusal wasn’t an option; the offer would indeed provide an opportunity for self-promotion.

Getting up to speak would certainly allow the wealthy to recognize one better and more quickly integrate into the elite circles, which seemed pretty good. If one aimed to make money, it was essential to network with them. With connections established, making money would become much easier. After some thought, there seemed to be nothing much to say, so it’d be best to choose something simple to talk about.

Such as discussing the corporate logo—topics like these were certainly fair game. And so, standing up, the decision was made to proceed step by step onto the stage. Kang Yue also lifted a smile, watching Shen Dong grow step by step was like living her own life.

Mr. Ma watched Shen Dong approach and then voluntarily stepped down, leaving a spot for him. When Shen Dong stood at the top, he was a bit overwhelmed at first, but he quickly regained composure and began to address the crowd below.

"I’m also very grateful to Mr. Ma for his support and for adopting my proposal, which allows me to stand here today. I initially never expected to be up here speaking, given that I felt my efforts paled compared to Mr. Ma’s. But since Mr. Ma has offered me this opportunity, I’m here to simply share my summary and the future development of the enterprise.

All of this has been carefully outlined and planned, though whether it will be utilized in the end, I do not know. It’s all compiled in a proposal I’ve brought to Mr. Ma, and if he finds it useful, he can directly apply it. We don’t differentiate between interests or priorities in our partnership—it’s what enables our cooperation to last."

"Mr. Ma just said he was thankful for me, but in truth, I am extremely grateful to Mr. Ma. Had he not seen potential in me, I likely wouldn’t have had the opportunity to participate in this event, so I’m very appreciative of Mr. Ma’s kindness.

It’s the reason I’ve achieved what I have now. If anyone here encounters a project they’d like to work on, feel free to come to me. Naturally, if I find it suitable, I will invest, as I now have the capability to do so. Everyone is welcome to come and ’harass’ me."

Shen Dong amused the audience with his humorous speech, prompting applause from the distinguished crowd below. It was the first time they took notice of this impressive young man, who, despite his youth, had climbed his way up step by step on his own.

Some of the women below started whispering among themselves, not for any other reason than because this man was getting too close to Kang Yue. Everyone contemplated leveraging this man to their advantage, thinking that nobody wouldn’t want to look good. Thus, they turned to their husbands, urging them to swiftly befriend him.

Securing contact with that beautiful woman would naturally be ideal, eliminating future worries about hairstyles and makeup. These men, egged on by their wives, found it difficult to refuse.
