Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Inside the banquet hall.

Bai Qianyue stood in the very center of the stage.

Her voice came through the microphone, very clear and very pleasant to hear.

She smiled and said to everyone in the audience:

"Thank you all very much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this dinner hosted by our Tianmu Group."

"Tonight, we have invited not only friends from the business community, but also important figures from various sectors. We hope everyone will have a pleasant evening here."

After saying a few simple words of welcome, Bai Qianyue stepped back from the center of the stage to the side.

Next up is the appearance of tonight's VIP guests.

As the host introduced them, one business tycoon after another walked onto the stage.

These big bosses are all top figures in the Chinese business world.

There are big names in internet technology, real estate tycoons, and leading figures in the physical manufacturing industry.

Each person who came out was greeted with a very enthusiastic round of applause from the audience.

Among this group of big bosses, Li Mengli and Li Menghan also saw Huo Qian's father.

When President Huo walked onto the stage, Huo Qian applauded happily from below the stage.

However, Li Mengli's attention was not on these big bosses at this moment.

Her eyes were fixed on the large screen next to the stage.

The large screen will display the name and introduction of each person who speaks on stage.

When Bai Qianyue was speaking, her identity was also displayed on the big screen.

It reads: Bai Qianyue, President of Dragon Kingdom Sky Curtain Group.

Li Mengli frowned deeply as she looked at the words "Tianmu Group".

She thought to herself:

"Sky Curtain Group? What kind of company is that? I've never heard of it before?"

Li Mengli is someone who really enjoys following the news.

Especially after learning that her father was the world's richest man, she became very interested in all kinds of large companies and conglomerates.

She knew the names of most of the famous large companies in China.

But this so-called Sky Curtain Group was something she had never heard of before.

Li Mengli took out her phone.

She opened the browser on her phone and typed "Dragon Kingdom Sky Curtain Group" into the search box.

Then she clicked the search button.

The page loaded in a few seconds, and the search results appeared.

Li Mengli stared at her phone screen, her eyes wide open.

There was nothing in the search results.

There is no official website for this company, no news reports about it, and not even a single related encyclopedia entry.

The page displays completely irrelevant content.

Li Mengli found it very strange.

How could a group that can invite so many top business leaders to a dinner party not have any information about it online?

This is completely illogical.

Li Mengli turned her head and looked at Huo Qian sitting next to her.

She lowered her voice and asked Huo Qian in a low voice:

"Qianqian, have you heard of this Sky Curtain Group?"

When Huo Qian heard this question, she frowned and thought about it for a moment.

Then she shook her head and replied:

"No. I've never heard of this group before. I only heard about it for the first time tonight."

Huo Qian looked at Bai Qianyue on the stage and continued:

"And just before my dad went on stage, I secretly asked him. Even my dad said that he had never dealt with this group before."

"My dad said that the invitation to this dinner party was delivered to his office first. The person on the invitation is someone of great prestige, and there could be serious consequences if he didn't come. That's why my dad canceled everything else and rushed over."

Hearing Huo Qian say this, Li Mengli felt even more uneasy.

Even Huo Qian's father, a tycoon with assets worth hundreds of billions, was unaware of the existence of this group, and dared not refuse to attend their banquet.

What exactly is the background of this Sky Curtain Group?

Who exactly is Bai Qianyue?

The more Li Mengli thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

She felt there must be a big secret behind this.

Moreover, this secret is very likely related to her father, Li Ze.

After all, Bai Qianyue had been trying to get close to her father for the past few days.

Li Mengli decided to find out the truth about this herself.

The dinner proceeded quickly.

After the above remarks, it will be time for everyone to freely exchange ideas and have lunch.

Very soft music filled the banquet hall.

The guests, holding their wine glasses, gathered in twos and threes to chat.

Li Mengli greeted Li Menghan and Huo Qian, saying she was going to get some food.

Then she took a glass of juice and left her seat.

Li Mengli walked through the crowd, her eyes constantly searching for those business tycoons who appeared to be of high status.

Soon, she spotted several big bosses who had spoken on stage earlier.

They were gathered in a corner, drinking and chatting quietly.

Li Mengli took a deep breath and adjusted her expression.

She walked over with a smile on her face, very naturally.

Hello, uncles.

Li Mengli walked over to them and greeted them very politely.

The big bosses stopped chatting and turned to look at the young girl who had suddenly walked over.

One of the shop owners looked at Li Mengli and asked with some confusion:

"Little girl, did you come with your elders?"

Li Mengli nodded. Without beating around the bush, she immediately revealed her identity.

She looked at these big bosses and said in a very calm tone:

"Yes.

My father couldn't come today, so I'm here on his behalf.

"My dad is Li Ze. He owns shares in companies like Apple, Porsche, and JPMorgan Chase. So I came over tonight to join in the fun."

Upon hearing Li Mengli say these words...

The expressions on the faces of those big bosses changed instantly.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Shareholders of Apple, Porsche, and JPMorgan Chase?

Moreover, judging from the girl's tone, her father's shares are definitely not just a small amount.

Those who own a large number of shares in these world-class companies are definitely among the world's top billionaires.

These people are considered top bosses in China.

However, on a global scale, they are still far behind the super-rich who truly control the world's economic lifeline.

The big bosses immediately became very polite.

They looked at Li Mengli with smiles on their faces.

The boss who had just asked the question quickly replied:

"Oh, it's Miss Li! My apologies for not recognizing you. We never expected Mr. Li's daughter to be here tonight. We are truly honored."

Seeing their polite attitude, Li Mengli knew that her identity was in effect.

She smiled and said:

"You're too kind, uncles. I'm here today to learn and get to know some more experienced people."

After exchanging a few polite words, Li Mengli naturally steered the conversation to the dinner party that evening.

She looked at the business owners, feigning great curiosity, and asked:

"Uncles, I actually have a question I'd like to ask you."

"The organizer of tonight's banquet is the Sky Curtain Group. I had never heard of this group before when I was abroad. I wonder how much you uncles know about this group?"

When Li Mengli asked about Tianmu Group, the expressions on the faces of those big bosses became somewhat strange.

They glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke immediately.

After a while, one of the owners, who looked older, looked around.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice and whispered to Li Mengli:

"Ms. Li, to be honest, we know very, very little about this Sky Curtain Group."

Li Mengli was very surprised when she heard this answer.

She asked:

"You don't know either?"

The older boss nodded and continued in a low voice:

"Yes. This group has almost never appeared in any public business activities. You can't find any information about them online either."

"However, within our circle, there's a saying that's been circulating."

The boss's voice became even lower, sounding very mysterious:

"Some say that this Sky Curtain Group is actually the most mysterious and secretive group within the Dragon Kingdom. It's not an ordinary commercial company, but rather controlled behind the scenes by a truly powerful and influential family."

Li Mengli was a little confused.

"Powerful families? Aren't you all powerful families too?"

A shopkeeper next to him shook his head, gave a wry smile, and said:

"Miss Li, you are unaware of the situation. To be frank, our so-called prominent families have only developed gradually in the last few decades since the opening up of China. Our history is very short."

"But those powerful families are different. I've heard that their families have histories spanning hundreds of years. Their foundation and strength are simply beyond our imagination."

Li Mengli was stunned when she heard this.

Hundreds of years? Several hundred years?

Didn't that already exist since the feudal dynasties and continue to this day?

How is that possible?

This is completely different from the history she learned in school!

Doesn't the history book say that those ancient feudal families disappeared long ago in the course of various historical changes?

How can it still exist now? And how can it control such a huge corporation?

Li Mengli stood there, her mind a complete mess.

She found the whole thing incredibly bizarre.

Who exactly is Bai Qianyue? What secrets are hidden behind her?

Why is she constantly pestering her father?

These questions kept swirling in Li Mengli's mind.

at the same time.

On the other side of the banquet hall.

There is a very spacious open-air balcony.

There were no lights on the balcony; only the moonlight shone in from outside.

Li Menghan stood alone by the balcony railing.

He was holding a glass of champagne in his hand.

He didn't go into the lobby to eat, nor did he go to chat with Fan Xi.

He stood there alone, looking out the window at the night view of the capital, feeling somewhat restless.

Just then, the glass door to the balcony was pushed open from the inside.

The sound of high heels clicking on the ground came over.

Li Menghan did not turn around.

He assumed it was a waiter or another customer coming to get some fresh air.

However, the footsteps stopped behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice rang out behind him.

That voice sounded very familiar and very pleasant.

But it made Li Menghan's heart skip a beat.

"Dream Cold".

Li Menghan turned his head and saw the woman standing behind him.

It was Bai Qianyue, the host of tonight's event, who was wearing a black evening gown.

Bai Qianyue looked at Li Menghan with a very gentle smile on her face.

She looked into Li Menghan's eyes and said in a very soft voice:

There is someone who wants to see you.
