Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Who is Miles? A top-tier talent of the Trency Family. And who are the Trencys? The most famous, most resounding aristocratic family in the entire West!

When Miles uttered the words "honored guest," not only Smith, but everyone present and all the reporters on scene were stunned — some reporters even started snapping photos.

Smith's face changed. Although he was also quite outstanding, compared to the Trency Family he was not worth mentioning at all. He had come this time hoping to chat with Miles of the Trency Family, to pry open a door of opportunity — yet he never expected his personal insistence to trigger such a chain reaction.

Miles's expression was also not good. Smith hurriedly stepped down from the platform and said, "Mi... Mr. Miles, they really are your guests? But they're Easterners!"

Miles's face darkened further. In a cold voice he said, "So what? Business knows no borders; friendship knows no race. Smith, conduct like yours is unworthy of a merchant!"

The moment those words fell, an uproar rippled through the crowd. Smith also knew that whether it was true or not, he likely had no future whatsoever with the Trency Family. He simply threw caution to the wind and snapped viciously, "Mr. Miles! Easterners lack the capability to become honored guests of the Trency Family — you're bringing disgrace on the Trency Family!"

Miles, who had already stopped wanting to bother with him, heard this and his whole aura suddenly shifted. His expression turned terrifyingly grim. This was the first time Li Chen and the others had ever seen Miles like this.

That elegant man suddenly changed. He stared dead at Smith and said, "Smith, speaking such words carries responsibility."

Smith immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "I'm not afraid! Since you, Miles, treat Easterners as honored guests, I doubt Trency Enterprises would allow you to do so!"

In fact, some people around them could no longer bear to watch. Although everyone did have a bit of prejudice against Easterners, it hadn't reached Smith's suicidal level — the man was a top talent of the Trency Family; even if he cooperated with Easterners, what business was it of his?

Therefore, at this moment many people were buzzing with discussion. Smith's words and deeds were exposed, but he no longer cared about anything else — better to raise his profile this way.

Miles took a deep breath, suddenly calmed again, cleared a space for Zhou Shi, Li Chen, and the other three, then stared at Smith and said, "Smith, do you know who these people are?"

Smith sneered, "I don't care who they are. Anyway, I don't know them. In my eyes, Easterners are all the same."

Miles ignored him and continued, "You don't know them. Then let me ask: do you know about a major project our Trency Family has recently undertaken?"

Smith replied calmly, "Of course I know. The Trency Family plans to recycle all kinds of damaged appliances in large quantities at quite reasonable prices — supposedly to prepare for a collaboration. The partner is said to be the number one talent in the appliance industry — what do you mean?"

The further he spoke, the more Smith felt something was off. Miles smiled faintly, then declared loudly, "You got it right. Our Trency Family is indeed collaborating with a certain talent. That talent's name is Jiang Wenyu. His company is called 'Miaoshou Jiang' Electrical Appliance Company. He is the most formidable, most outstanding technical talent I, Miles, have ever seen. The technology he employs even surpasses the current technological bottleneck. And these people behind me all come from 'Miaoshou Jiang' Electrical Appliance Company. They are not merely my, Miles's, honored guests — they are honored guests of my entire Trency Family!"

Hubbub—

At these words, the whole hall erupted. Chatter rose on all sides; camera flashes flickered nonstop.

In an instant, "Miaoshou Jiang" Electrical Appliance Company, Jiang Wenyu, and Trency — these three terms became the subject on everyone's lips and the big news in every reporter's eyes!

Zhou Shi, who understood what they were saying, finally relaxed. He turned and translated for the three. Li Chen and Bai Mulin also relaxed. Wu Miaomiao, however, stuck out her tongue and whispered, "I'm not from Jiang Ge's company..."

Zhou Shi smiled gently at her and said nothing more.

Ahead, Smith, having heard all this, stood frozen in place, utterly dumbstruck — a truly comical sight.

The commotion was so great that some people inside the Platinum Hall had already come out to watch the spectacle, and they too had heard Miles's voice just now.

Involuntarily, everyone's gazes and focus converged on the four — Zhou Shi and his group — some puzzled, some shocked.

Everyone knew about the major project the Trency Family had launched recently, yet no one expected to hear news of it here.

And Smith never imagined his stubborn insistence would not only offend Miles, but even the Trency Family.

They're actually all honored guests of the Trency Family?

Cold sweat streamed down his face. His whole body went limp; he nearly collapsed. He stared at Zhou Shi's group in disbelief, his expression growing uglier by the second.

But stubborn Smith still seemed unwilling to give up. Gritting his teeth, he finally asked, "Th... then what about the Jiang Wenyu you mentioned? Where is he!?"

Miles answered calmly, "Mr. Jiang Wenyu is currently with my Trency Family. If you still don't believe it, feel free to come back with me and see? But I must warn you in advance: your conduct right now is being watched by the whole world. I hope you know what's good for you."

Hearing this, Smith's face instantly tightened as he scanned the surroundings.

Everyone had begun buzzing, the topic shifting from before onto him. He hurriedly looked back — all the merchants inside the Platinum Hall were pointing and whispering at him.

He choked up. He had nearly forgotten — this was the sacred Platinum Hall. Once this got out, he'd probably never even get into a Purple Table.

About ten minutes later, with Miles's help, Zhou Shi and the others finally successfully entered the Platinum Hall and stood together at a Black Table, conversing freely.

As for Smith, he had long since left with his wife in a hurry. Though he left fast, his actions today had already been recorded by the media.

Even though the matter had settled and the group successfully entered the Platinum Hall, there were still quite a few people inside curious about them. The news that they were here for deep cooperation with the Trency Family had already spread everywhere.

Under so many burning gazes, the four were a bit unaccustomed for a moment.

Miles smiled. "It's fine. Although this is a very important place, there actually aren't too many restrictions. In the end it's just a channel for business talks."

Li Chen sighed, patted Miles's shoulder, and said, "Brother, I've never been abroad in my life. A scene this big really makes me uncomfortable."

The quiet Bai Mulin also said, "I'm a bit uncomfortable too."

The shy Wu Miaomiao also lifted her head and whispered, "I... I'm a bit... too..."

Hearing this, Miles couldn't help but laugh. Zhou Shi also shook his head helplessly. The former said, "Alright then. There's nothing much to see here anyway. I just wanted to bring you to see what the Platinum Hall looks like. Since you've seen it, how about we go get some late-night snacks? My treat — and we can wait for Mr. Jiang while we're at it."

The others immediately cheered. So, under everyone's gaze, the four left the Platinum Hall and headed to a quiet restaurant nearby.

But Miles's words today were bound to stir up a storm in the news world.

……

This was an extremely luxurious mansion — ordinary people might never have a chance to see it in their lifetime, let alone enter.

Night fell. A man walked out of that bright, luxurious estate, got into a car, and said in a not-very-fluent foreign language, "Shajin Port, thank you."

The car started; the night scenery fled.

"Mm, the talks went fairly smoothly, right? This time we have Miles to thank as well."

Jiang Wenyu was very satisfied with today's schedule. That mansion just now was one of the Trency Family's venues here. Jiang Wenyu spent an afternoon discussing deep cooperation details with certain people of the Trency Family, and it concluded perfectly.

All of this was also thanks to Miles's introduction.

In less than half a year, over ten thousand unqualified appliance products were swiftly repaired after the company expanded. A small portion sold domestically; the majority went overseas — via Miles into the hands of the Trency Family. Unexpectedly, these appliances sold like hotcakes locally!

Superb quality, prices far lower than conventional — people loved them!

Precisely because of this, Miles struck while the iron was hot and brought up Miaoshou Jiang Electrical Appliance Company and Jiang Wenyu to the family.

Upon receiving Miles's letter, the latter agreed without hesitation to accept the introduction! So after a month of preparation, Jiang Wenyu decided to bring Zhou Shi and the others along. And since Wu Miaomiao was a teacher, he also planned to bring her abroad to broaden her horizons.

Just like that, they arrived here.

The negotiation process went extraordinarily smoothly; after all, Miles had spoken highly of him beforehand, and on top of that Jiang Wenyu's technology was genuinely formidable — he even personally demonstrated it before the Trency Family's upper echelon, and the effect naturally left them stunned, one after another calling Jiang Wenyu's technology epoch-making and deciding without hesitation to sign a deep cooperation contract with him.

And once this contract was signed, the scale of Miaoshou Jiang Electrical Appliance Company would expand several times over because of it!

In fact, not only abroad — the appliances Jiang Wenyu sold domestically were equally well-received, their prices even somewhat lower than the former, and in the first few months merchants came knocking one after another seeking cooperation, while the company also welcomed a second batch of technical workers.

Compared to over half a year ago, the entire company's scale had already increased by a full fold, and technical workers were not few in number.

Jiang Wenyu's name had already taken the lead in setting off a wave domestically.

And his gaze, too, gradually turned from the domestic market toward the globe!
