Chapter 253: On the Eve of the Celebration Banquet

Li Fuying continued excitedly, "Just now my butler told me that those British neighbors in our mountain‑top villa area looked at me differently today! Before they always acted all high and mighty, and today someone actually greeted me! A British old lady even asked if I knew that young man named Lu Qingshan! Hahaha, this feeling is just awesome!"

"Tonight's meal is not just a celebration banquet, it's our Chinese people's glory banquet! I will let everyone know that we Chinese are not easy to bully! We also have our own financial geniuses! We can also stir up the financial market!"

Lu Qingshan smiled, his voice carrying a mature steadiness, yet his eyes flashed with a king's light: "Uncle Li, this proposal is good. This time truly deserves celebration; we Chinese have finally proved ourselves in Hong Kong Island's financial market. However, we must stay low‑key, not boast in victory nor be discouraged in defeat. Today's victory is only the beginning; we have larger goals to achieve!"

His voice grew more resolute: "A rival of Wilson's caliber will never concede easily. Today we won one round, but the real contest is just beginning. The Yingzi Group has operated on Hong Kong Island for over a hundred years, with deep roots; they will certainly find ways to strike back. We must stay vigilant at all times!"

"Hahaha, Qing Shan, you're right!" Li Fuying laughed, her voice tinged with pride, "Then at seven p. m., I'll wait for everyone at my home. This meal is on me! I'll book the finest banquet, hire the best chefs! We will thoroughly summarize this experience and prepare for the next step! I will let everyone know that Chinese are not easy to bully! We Chinese also have grit!"

He hung up the phone, and Lu Qingshan looked out at Victoria Harbour. The setting sun sank, the harbor glittered, and the skyscrapers shone in the sunset as if celebrating the Chinese victory. Today Hong Kong Island was especially beautiful, the whole city seemed to boil with celebration of the Chinese triumph.

Chinese on the streets were discussing the matter, each face beaming with proud smiles. Those who usually kept their heads down while walking stood tall today. Those who usually dared not speak loudly were now loudly debating this victory.

"Did you hear? A Chinese youngster beat the British into a rout! He earned fifty billion Hong Kong dollars!" a middle‑aged Chinese said excitedly to his companion.

"Is it real? Fifty billion? That's even more impressive than Li Jia Zhen?" another person widened his eyes.

"Absolutely true! My friend works at HSBC, he said today the British executives in the bank went frantic! And other members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, together earned a hundred billion!"

"Oh my God! This is practically a legend! We Chinese finally vented our anger! Who would dare say Chinese are incapable now?"

"That young man is named Lu Qingshan, only in his twenties! He's literally a genius! The pride of us Chinese!"

Such conversations could be heard in every street and alley of Hong Kong Island, each Chinese feeling proud of this victory. In cha chaan tengs, owners treated everyone for free to celebrate; in factories, Chinese workers excitedly discussed the legendary story; in schools, Chinese students held their heads high, no longer fearing disdain from foreign classmates.

This national pride set the entire Chinese community ablaze. For many years, Chinese on Hong Kong Island have endured various discrimination and unfair treatment; today finally someone vented this anger for them!

But Lu Qingshan knows this is only the beginning. A rival of Wilson's caliber will never concede easily. Today's victory, though brilliant, may be followed by an even more perilous road. The Yingzi Group has operated on Hong Kong Island for over a hundred years, with deep roots; they will not be content with this failure.

He walked to the center of the Trading Room, looking at the subordinates who followed him to create miracles, feeling a strong sense of responsibility rise within him. These people are not merely his employees, but witnesses and participants in the rise of the Chinese. Their fate is now tightly linked with the fate of the entire Chinese community.

"Everyone," Lu Qingshan's voice rang in the Trading Room, everyone fell silent, focusing on him, "Today we created a miracle, but this is only the beginning. We Chinese have stood up on Hong Kong Island, but to truly stand firm we still need more effort."

His eyes flashed with profound light: "Wilson has been defeated, but the Yingzi Group's other forces remain. They will not be content with defeat and will certainly find ways to strike back. We must stay vigilant at all times, ready to meet the next battle."

Ye Ning excitedly raised her hand: "Boss, we're not afraid! With you leading, we fear nothing."

Zhang Qiming also exclaimed: "Right! We've proven the Chinese's strength! Whoever dares underestimate us, we'll let them know how powerful we are!"

Lin Yuchen shouted loudly: "Long live the Chinese! Long live President Lu! We will let the whole world know that the Chinese era has arrived!"

The Trading Room erupted with enthusiastic applause and cheers, each person's eyes burning with fighting spirit. They follow Lu Qingshan, not merely making money, but creating history!

However, the Chinese have already stood up in Hong Kong Island's financial market, a fact no one can deny. From today onward, Hong Kong Island's financial landscape will be completely transformed. Chinese are no longer a weak group to be bullied; they can also dominate the financial market.

Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with profound light. He recalled the humiliations of his past life, the countless injustices Chinese faced on Hong Kong Island. Today, in his own way, he vented this anger for all Chinese.

This victory is not only a financial win but also a triumph of dignity, a sign of Chinese awakening. From today onward, Chinese will write their own legend on Hong Kong Island! And Lu Qingshan will be the founder of this legend, the guide for the Chinese rise!

"Boss," Ye Ning walked to Lu Qingshan's side, her voice filled with admiration, "What are your next plans? We are already a legend in Hong Kong Island's financial world; what next?"

Lu Qingshan turned, looking at the people in the Trading Room who followed him to create miracles, his eyes flashing with resolute light: "Next? There are still many things to do. Hong Kong Island is just the start; our goal is the whole world! I will let everyone know that Chinese can not only dominate Hong Kong Island but also stir up the global financial market!"

His voice grew stronger, full of kingly dominance: "Today's victory is only the first step; next, we will make the Chinese name resound worldwide! We will let everyone know that the Chinese era has arrived! We will prove with strength that Chinese possess not only wisdom but also courage! We will shine for the Chinese on the global financial stage!"

He paused, his gaze becoming even deeper: "But remember, the more we are in this situation, the more we must stay calm and modest. Wilson has been defeated, but the Yingzi Group's foundation remains. They will certainly find ways to strike back; we must always be ready to meet the next, even more intense battle!"

Everyone in the Trading Room was inspired by Lu Qingshan's words, each person's eyes burning with fighting spirit. They understood that following such a boss, they are not merely making money, but creating history, fighting for the Chinese rise!
