The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Upon arriving in Beijing, at the small square in front of the main gate of the Central Secretariat.

The solemn and majestic central building complex stands at the horizon, its white walls and gray tiles exuding the grandeur of a great nation. The square is spacious and clean, and the security personnel stand tall and solemn, guarding the area with impeccable discipline.

Black luxury cars drove in one after another, their bodies solid and imposing, their matte paint gleaming with understated luxury in the sunlight. Each vehicle had a license plate that was exclusive and unattainable for the wealthy and powerful.

The four most powerful families in the Dragon Kingdom—Wang, Bai, Li, and Xie—were sitting in the car.

The first to arrive was the Bai family, whose heritage was unfathomable.

The car door slowly opened, and Bai Song, the old master with his white hair neatly combed, stepped out of the car. His plain brocade robe accentuated his dignified demeanor, and his expression was gentle and humble. There was no trace of sharpness or ruthlessness about him; instead, he exuded a sense of composure and tranquility.

However, this old man, who came from a family of military generals, was not as kind as he appeared; otherwise, he would not have been able to support the Bai family of the previous generation.

Bai Lingxi, who was standing beside him, had a slender and upright figure and a cold and aloof temperament. She was like a beauty sculpted from ice and snow, with an aura that kept strangers at bay. She was aloof and noble, and her beauty surpassed that of her peers. She outshone all the other young people present at a glance.

The Li family followed closely behind.

An elderly man with neatly combed white hair and a refined and dignified appearance stepped out of the car first. His aura was gentle yet extremely oppressive, and every gesture revealed the depth of his decades of accumulated power and wealth. He was none other than Li Zhuo, the head of the Li family.

Li Heng, the eldest son of the Li family, is tall and handsome. Wearing a limited-edition haute couture suit, he exudes arrogance and confidence. Every gesture he makes is full of the pride of a chosen one. His family background, appearance, and abilities are all top-notch among his peers, making him the best match in the hearts of countless socialites in the capital.

The last person to get off the bus was Xie Mingqiu, the eldest son of the Xie family, who had just entered the top circle.

Today, Xie Mingqiu was dressed in an impeccable black suit, with an upright posture, a calm demeanor, and a sharp glint in his eyes.

Compared to the other three families with their deep-rooted foundations, the Xie family's foundation was still shallow, which is why he always maintained a humble and respectful attitude.

Xie Mingqiu stepped forward first, bowing respectfully and politely in turn.

"Greetings, Mr. Li, and Young Master Li."

"Greetings, Mr. Bai, and Miss Bai."

He was impeccably polite and humble.

Seeing this, Li Zhuo nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the prodigy of the Xie family before him, his eyes filled with appreciation and deep meaning, and he slowly spoke.

"The Xie family has been lying low for ten years, and now they have taken off. It is truly remarkable that they have managed to squeeze into our circle with the background of a mere second-rate family. The Xie family has produced such a prodigy as you, and your future is promising."

Xie Mingqiu quickly bowed slightly and replied humbly, "Grandpa Li, you flatter me. I dare not take credit for this. It is only thanks to the family's dedicated cultivation and the guidance of my seniors."

Upon hearing this, Bai Song shook his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the silent and aloof Bai Lingxi beside him, his tone carrying a hint of deeper meaning.

"It's one thing for the family to invest heavily in your upbringing, but it's another to be able to access those resources and seize those opportunities. No matter how many resources you have or how big the platform is, if you lack the ability, it will all be for nothing."

These words resonated with everyone present, who unanimously agreed with them.

It is common knowledge in the industry that the Bai family has devoted countless resources, platforms, and connections to cultivating its direct male descendants over the generations. However, the disciples they have cultivated have all been mediocre and incapable of shouldering great responsibilities.

On the contrary, Bai Lingxi, who was rarely given special resources by the family and always grew up freely, relied on her talent, excellent vision and top-notch ability to crush all her peers and support the new generation of the Bai family.

Compared to her, all the carefully nurtured disciples of the Bai family were like fireflies compared to the bright moon, dim and without luster.

This is probably what it means to be hopeless.

After a brief silence, the elegant Li Heng took a step forward, his gaze falling on the aloof and stunning Bai Lingxi, his smile gentle and proper, and began to exchange pleasantries.

"Lingxi, I heard you accompanied Wang Zhaoyue on a trip recently. Did you have a good time during the long journey?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present instantly fell silent, their gazes all falling on the two of them, their eyes filled with knowing smiles.

The Bai family had always intended to seduce Bai Lingxi and Li Heng, making the two families in-laws. In addition, the Wang family and the Bai family had a long-standing friendship, and the Wang family was about to form a marriage alliance with the Xie family. Thus, the four families formed an alliance to jointly mitigate the unknown risks of the future, which would at least ensure that their families could continue for several hundred years.

However, Bai Lingxi was extremely proud and aloof, and had always been indifferent to various marriage proposals. The elders of the Bai family did not dare to pressure this exceptionally talented daughter too much, so the matter remained unresolved.

Faced with Li Heng's gentle greeting, Bai Lingxi's cool eyes flickered slightly.

For some reason, Qin Zihao's image popped into her mind.

It must be said that the chosen ones from the top families each have their own style. Li Heng, for example, is gentle, proper in his dealings, and comes from a distinguished family. He is always polite and courteous to her, and knows how to maintain proper boundaries.

In contrast, Qin Zihao, born into an unknown Qin family, was narrow-minded and arrogant. That night, he dared to speak rudely and disrespectfully to her in public.

In her view, the Qin family was nothing more than a flash in the pan, a nouveau riche who, even if they made a brief splash, would never amount to anything.

The Qin family could never have been invited to such a high-level occasion, personally summoned by the central government, in their lifetime.

This is the world of difference between truly elite families and ordinary nouveau riche.

At this thought, a few ridiculous ideas quietly arose in her mind.

Qin Zihao is truly too ignorant and arrogant, unable to distinguish his own level from the gap between his social circle and his own.

How dare the Qin family, a mere newly risen and unstable family, be so presumptuous in front of Bai Lingxi?

Not to mention compared to the four great families, even among ordinary middle-class families, the Qin family's current foundation is hard to match.

Moreover, the Qin family has a shallow foundation, and being summoned by the central government is an honor they would likely never attain in their lifetime.

This is the difference between a truly top-tier family and a rootless drifter.

Pulling herself back to reality, Bai Lingxi's icy gaze softened slightly, a faint smile curved her lips, and she responded softly, her tone gentler.

"Well, it's alright. This trip was just to accompany Zhaoyue out for a relaxing getaway, and also to check out the Ye and Chen families in Shanghai."

Seeing this, Bai Song and Li Zhuo exchanged a glance, and a knowing smile flashed in the eyes of the two old foxes.

There is a play!

Bai Lingxi, who is usually aloof and taciturn and distant from everyone, actually took the initiative to smile and respond gently to Li Heng today.

It seems that the marriage between the two families is imminent.

At the same time, another luxury car arrived, the door opened, and an old man and a young man got out of the car.

It was someone from the Wang family.

The elderly man at the head of the group was Wang Wei, the pillar of the Wang family. Although he was over seventy years old, he had a straight back and a steady gait. He wore a simple dark Zhongshan suit without any gold or silver decorations or embellishments, but he exuded a heavy and imposing aura of someone who had weathered many storms.

His eyes were slightly closed, but when he looked up, his sharp eyes were restrained. His aura of power and authority over all living beings was natural and unforced. Every word and action of his revealed the vision and majesty of the head of a top family.

Following closely behind is Wang Qi, the eldest brother of Wang Zhaoyue and the next core heir of the Wang family.

He wore a well-tailored black suit, with a tall and slender figure, a handsome and composed face, and an air of nobility and composure unique to the direct descendants of the Wang family. His demeanor was measured and measured, steady and reserved, and he exuded an aura of authority without anger.

Upon seeing Wang Wei, Xie Mingqiu immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and asked, "How have you been, Grandpa Wang?"

Wang Wei nodded slightly. "It's acceptable."

He then looked at Xie Mingqiu, a slight smile playing on his lips, his satisfaction evident in his eyes.

This was the husband he personally chose for his granddaughter, Wang Zhaoyue. In terms of family background, appearance, knowledge, and ability, few in the world could compare with him.

This is truly a perfect match.

Seeing this, Xie Mingqiu breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then he looked at Wang Qi, his future brother-in-law, and greeted him:

"Brother, it's been a long time. I've missed you dearly. How about we have a few drinks after the meeting?"

Wang Qi smiled and nodded, then said to Li Heng and Bai Lingxi beside him:

"It's too lonely with just the two of us. Lingxi, Young Master Li, why don't we go together and celebrate for Young Master Xie?"

Li Heng said boldly, "Alright, speaking of which, it's been a long time since our generation has gathered together."

Bai Lingxi was initially reluctant to agree, but after seeing her grandfather's expression, she thought for a moment, then parted her red lips slightly and said, "Okay."

Several older members of the family didn't want to get involved in the younger generation's gathering, so they just watched with smiles in their eyes.

Li Heng recalled that Bai Lingxi seemed quite interested in the Qin family during her stay in Jiangnan. He glanced at Xie Mingqiu and asked curiously:

"Young Master Xie, how is the matter concerning the Qin family?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Xie Mingqiu.

The Qin family's open provocation of the Xie family caused a stir in Beijing that was known to everyone in the industry.

The Xie family seems to have made a lot of noise but little action, which is not a good thing for their reputation or image.

The Wang family members, who were familiar with the inside story, and Bai Lingxi remained expressionless.

Xie Mingqiu felt bitter inside.

It wasn't that the Xie family didn't want to target the Qin family, but because Bai Lingxi had intervened at the time, and also because they had to consider Wang Zhaoyue's feelings, the Xie family couldn't make too big of a move.

Otherwise, the Xie family could have easily wiped out a small family like the Qin family, and the Qin family would not have survived to this day.

He chuckled awkwardly twice and said:

"The Xie family had already laid a plan against the Qin family, but the Qin family acted domineeringly. Even after arriving in the capital, they did not restrain themselves and brought about their own destruction. Now that the higher-ups have intervened, the Xie family no longer needs to take action."

"The Qin family is nothing but a flash in the pan, a mere ripple, not worth mentioning."

Wang Wei nodded and praised:

"Great talents are those who do not expend effort on trivial matters."

Li Zhuo looked at Xie Mingqiu with a hint of something else in his eyes, but he still echoed, "The Qin family is indeed just a small ripple."

Some things, those present see through but don't say, they have their own considerations.

As for the so-called Qin family, they are indeed, as Xie Mingqiu said, not worth mentioning.

Just as the atmosphere on the field was subtly easing, a black sedan with a license plate exclusive to the central government slowly and steadily drove into the entrance of the square and came to a stop beside everyone.

Everyone who saw the license plate assumed that Lu Zhou had arrived. They subconsciously stopped chatting and stood up straight, ready to greet him.

Upon seeing that unfamiliar figure, everyone except Bai Lingxi looked at the two of them with confusion.

The first person to step out of the car was an elderly man in his sixties.

Wearing a well-fitting, dark-colored Zhongshan suit, he stood tall and imposing, with calm and composed eyes, yet exuding an aura of indifference that looked down upon the world. His presence was heavy and dignified, unlike that of an ordinary public official.

Following closely behind was a young boy.

Wearing a pure handmade haute couture black suit, the tailoring perfectly fits his figure, making him appear noble and upright with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

The young man had sharp, clean features and clear, deep eyes. He possessed a composure and aura that came with maturity and experience. Despite his young age, he had a calm and noble demeanor that far surpassed his peers.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

All eyes turned to the two of them, their eyes filled with doubt and astonishment.

These two people were complete strangers to them.

Judging from their attire, they didn't seem to be officials, but rather... summoned by the central government like them.

Whether it's high-ranking officials or upper-class tycoons, they all know the answer, but they just can't find the corresponding face.

Most importantly, who are these two people who suddenly appeared? And why did they arrive in Lu Zhou's car?

Even the four great families had never enjoyed such an honor!

The crowd looked on with suspicion and uncertainty, secretly observing each other, hesitating whether to step forward to speak with them and inquire about their identities.

Just as the entire room fell silent, a cold and piercing female voice suddenly rang out, filled with disbelief, astonishment, and displeasure.

"Qin Zihao! What are you doing here?!"

Bai Lingxi frowned deeply, her eyes fixed on the young and tall figure, filled with shock, confusion, and anger.

She couldn't believe that Qin Zihao would actually appear at the Central Plaza, and even arrive in Lu Zhou's private car!

This treatment and honor far exceeded that of the four major families, so outrageous that she could not accept it!

Seeing Bai Lingxi's reaction, Qin Zheng glanced at his eldest grandson's expressionless face and looked puzzled for a moment.

Didn't his eldest grandson have a crush on the Bai family girl before? The way he looked at her, he was practically eyeing someone else.

What's going on here?

How come after such a short time apart, our reunion is so tense?

Faced with Bai Lingxi's questioning, Qin Zihao remained calm and composed, his eyes indifferent and unwavering. He glanced at her briefly and said:

"Whatever you come here to do, I will do."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lingxi immediately scoffed, her eyes filled with disdain and mockery, her tone brimming with contempt.

"Pretending to be something you're not. Do you even know what level this meeting is at? It's a top-level meeting at the central level!"

"Your Qin family is nothing more than a newly emerging, rootless force in Jiangnan. Do you even deserve to stand shoulder to shoulder with us four great families and enter the central council?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room instantly had their pupils shrink.

Qin family?

Is the visitor that newly rich upstart from the Qin family in Jiangnan?!

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, their faces filled with disbelief.

Upon hearing this, the people present all looked at Qin Zheng and Qin Zihao with sharp eyes, their gazes full of inquiry and scrutiny.

The Qin family from Jiangnan has recently caused quite a stir in Beijing, openly provoking the Xie family and being summoned for questioning by the Weiheng Supervision Bureau, a fact well-known within the industry.

To everyone's utter surprise, this emerging capitalist family managed to infiltrate the central meeting, which was truly unexpected.

Moreover, judging from Bai Lingxi's attitude, it seems that she has a grudge against that young man.

Qin Zihao ignored everyone's gaze and said calmly:

"Bai Lingxi, do you remember what I told you before?"

"One day, you will fully understand that the person who is not good enough for me has always been you."

"So, if you can attend a meeting, why can't I?"

boom!

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire room froze!

The faces of the Wang, Bai, Li, and Xie families all darkened.

This kid is too arrogant!

How dare a mere scion of a newly emerging capitalist family in Jiangnan publicly humiliate the proud daughter of the Bai family?

Especially Li Heng, after hearing Qin Zihao's disregard for Bai Lingxi, stepped forward and coldly snorted:

"What nonsense!"
