The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

Deep within Yueting Garden, in a luxurious and private room, the smell of smoke mingled with the scent of perfume, creating a unique atmosphere characteristic of Beijing's elite social circles.

Yan Hai sat imposingly in the main seat, one foot casually propped on the stool next to him, toying with an exquisite lighter in his hand, his gaze glancing sideways at Hu Sanshao, who was all smiles.

"Hu San'er," Yan Hai drawled, a hint of impatience in his voice, "what's the deal with you calling Lunjie and me here in such a hurry this noon? Spit it out, don't delay my lunch."

Hu Sanshao immediately moved closer, a near-fawning smile on his face, his voice lowered, tinged with mystery and excitement:

"Brother Hai! Here's what happened! Your sister—Ru Ge! Hasn't she just taken over as the domestic general manager of Longyu Group? She's in charge of trillions of yuan—that's something!"

He secretly gave a thumbs-up and continued, "We brothers may like to have fun, but we're not stupid or blind! This incredible wealth and opportunity is right in front of us, we can't just sit and watch, can we?"

He rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with ambition:

What I mean is, let's get a few of us together, and maybe we can bring in some trustworthy guys, and start a company together!

Once Longyu Group's industrial parks, R&D centers, and other facilities are built, it will need partners in the upstream and downstream sectors, right?

We're in a prime position to benefit from this opportunity; how could we not seize it?

"Yes, yes, yes! Third Young Master is absolutely right!"

"Brother Hai, let's work together!"

Several spoiled young men nearby immediately chimed in, their eyes gleaming with eagerness, as if they could already see mountains of gold and silver beckoning to them.

"Nonsense!" Yan Hai scoffed without any politeness, tossing his lighter onto the table with a crisp sound. He glanced around, his tone filled with undisguised contempt:

"What business acumen do any of us have? Besides knowing which club has a new top hostess, which venue has the strongest drinks, and which racetrack is the most exciting, what else do you know? Huh?"

His single sentence extinguished most of the enthusiasm that had just been ignited among the crowd.

Even if my sister is the general manager, so what?

Longyu Group is determined to get things done! How many top business giants and industry elites around the world are eyeing this lucrative opportunity?

Why should they choose to cooperate with a bunch of clueless spoiled brats like us?

What can we do? Can we do R&D or management? Yan Hai's questions were getting sharper and sharper:

"Furthermore, setting up a company? What type of company? What will be its main business? Who will be its target customers? What will its profit model be? Has anyone thought about these things?"

This series of questions was like several buckets of cold water, leaving Hu Sanshao and his companions speechless and exchanging bewildered glances, their earlier excitement instantly deflated.

They then realized that while the idea was wonderful, putting it into practice was a complete mess.

They are top experts when it comes to having fun, but when it comes to serious business operations, they are completely clueless and at a loss.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward and silent for a moment.

At this moment, Li Lunjie, who had been leaning against the window drinking his beverage, spoke up. He was slightly more composed than Hu Sanshao and the others, but he also possessed the nonchalant air typical of a playboy:

"Xiao Hai, although Hu San's suggestion sounds a bit nonsensical, the idea itself... is not bad."

He sat down next to Yan Hai. "We really can't keep drifting along like this. We have to do something serious, something to make ourselves and our families proud, right?"

He analyzed: "It's okay if we don't understand it ourselves! We can hire professional managers to handle it!"

With our family backgrounds and connections, even if we ultimately fail to connect with the Longyu Group, as long as we manage things properly, setting up a company and making some pocket money will be a piece of cake.

A shrewd glint flashed in his eyes:

Even if we take a step back and assume that we don't necessarily have to cooperate directly with Longyu Group.

Those companies that eventually manage to connect with Longyu will need some local resources, right?

Smoothing relationships, resolving problems, and facilitating communication...aren't these our strengths?

With Sister Ruge's connection, they should at least give her some face, right?

Li Lunjie concluded by saying:

So what I mean is, we can first raise some start-up capital, and then talk to Sister Ruge about our ideas and ask her what type of company would be most suitable and have the best prospects for someone like us.

She has a high vantage point and a wide view; even a few bits of information slipping through her fingers are enough for us to exploit. Wouldn't that solve everything?

As Yan Hai listened to Li Lunjie's analysis, his fingers unconsciously tapped the table, and the nonchalant expression on his face softened somewhat.

He touched his meticulously styled short hair and pondered, "Lenja, you kid... you really want to start a company for fun?"

"Of course!" Li Lunjie replied immediately, his tone unusually serious.

Xiao Hai, we are different from you. You have a wonderful older sister and a bright future ahead of you.

What about us? Go into politics when we grow up? With our intelligence and patience, we probably couldn't sit in an office for more than three days.

Joining the army? Forget about it, the discipline alone could drive us crazy.

He sighed, a sigh tinged with self-mockery and a hint of uncertainty about the future:

"So, while our family still has some influence, let's do something ourselves. It'll be a way to prove ourselves and our family, and pave the way for our future!"

Li Lunjie's words, which were based on realistic considerations, resonated with many of the spoiled young men present.

They may seem successful, but they are actually filled with uncertainty about the future.

Looking at the expectant eyes of his brothers, and thinking about Li Lunjie's words, Yan Hai finally nodded:

Alright! Since you're all interested, I'll find some time to sound out Brother Ao's opinion first.

My sister is so busy right now, she probably doesn't have time to deal with our "little things," but Ao Ge's words still carry weight.

"That's great! Hai-ge is so loyal!"

"Thank you, Brother Hai!"

Cheers and flattery erupted in the private room; the playboys' "grand business plan" seemed to have finally taken its first step.

In contrast to the playful "ambitions" of the playboys in the private rooms of Yuetingyuan, the Beijing offices of Tianguang Province and Haining Province were filled with a truly tense, efficient, and exciting war-like atmosphere.

The two provincial offices in Beijing, along with all the elite investment promotion teams that had been urgently dispatched, were operating at high speed in their respective fields, like tightly wound machines.

The sounds of keyboard typing, urgent telephone ringing, and heated discussions were incessant.

Everyone's face showed exhaustion, but their eyes were exceptionally bright, filled with the excitement and sense of mission of fighting a desperate battle.

Zeng Qiang and He Xing, the two chief officials in charge of investment promotion representing Haining Province and Tianguang Province respectively—

Like two commanders sitting in the central command tent, in their temporary command post, the Beijing office meeting room, they constantly listened to reports, reviewed materials, and offered suggestions for revision.

Their voices were hoarse, their eyes were red, but they were in a state of extreme excitement.

Upon receiving the "good news" that they had reached a preliminary agreement with the senior management of Longyu Group, the top leaders of their respective provinces were equally excited and, without any hesitation, immediately decided to personally travel to Beijing to oversee the project!

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must be ensured to be foolproof, and no mistakes can be tolerated at any stage!

A high-level political and economic synergy triggered by an investment from Longyu Group has quietly escalated.

At 5 p.m. sharp, Zeng Lingyu arrived at Yuetingyuan. She held tightly in her hands two promises that carried the hopes of the two provinces' economic development and the related official political future.

These are not just two thick investment promotion documents, but two heavy mountains of gold.

She arrived at the most secluded and luxurious private room that Zeng Long had reserved with practiced ease. Pushing open the heavy solid wood door, the scene inside came into view—

Zeng Long sat in the main seat, his posture relaxed yet exuding authority;

Ye Feng sat quietly to the side, like a drawn sword, silent yet sharp.

Tie Zhu seemed rather impatient, his eyes frequently glancing towards the door, as if anticipating a feast.

Lin Xiaoya was typing rapidly on her phone, probably still dealing with trivial matters in the financial market;

Teng Ao and Yan Ruge sat on either side, with laptops and documents in front of them, indicating that they had been discussing things for some time.

"You've all arrived?" Zeng Lingyu greeted her with a smile, her breath slightly ragged from jogging.

All eyes immediately focused on her.

Zeng Long looked at her with a gentle smile and pointed to the empty seat next to him: "Look how anxious you are, sit down and have some tea to calm down."

Zeng Lingyu nodded, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, she solemnly handed the two documents in her hand, which embodied the hard work and expectations of countless people, to Zeng Long:

"Brother Long, you've lived up to my expectations! This is the investment promotion plan from Tianguang Province and Haining Province."

Zeng Long took the document and could feel its weight as soon as he held it.

Without saying much, he lowered his head and began to quickly and carefully flip through the pages.

He reads extremely fast, with focused eyes, and his fingers occasionally pause on a page or tap it lightly.

The private room fell silent instantly, with only the rustling sound of Zeng Long turning the pages and the obvious or subtle breathing of the others, filled with tension and anticipation.

Teng Ao and Yan Ruge also stopped what they were doing, their eyes fixed on Zeng Long's expression, trying to glean some information from it. Tie Zhu even held his breath, afraid of disturbing his boss.

Time passed by, and for those waiting, it seemed to drag on endlessly.

Finally, Zeng Long closed the last page of the last document.

He raised his head, his gaze first falling on Zeng Lingyu's expectant face, and nodded approvingly at her before turning to Teng Ao and Yan Ruge.

His expression was calm, but his eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.

"President Teng, Ru Ge," his voice was clear and steady, carrying the certainty characteristic of a decision-maker.

"The investment promotion proposals from Thien Quang Province and Hai Ninh Province are quite well done. It's clear that they put a lot of effort into them and accurately grasped the spirit of our previous discussions."

He picked up one of the proposals and gave a brief review:

Based on the analysis in the plan and their own conditions—

Tianzhou City in Tianguang Province has significant advantages in its electronic information industry base and high-end manufacturing talent pool, making it ideally suited to host our group's planned electronic industrial park and drone industrial park.

Then, he picked up another one:

"Haining Province, on the other hand, has greater potential in terms of biomedical research foundation and supporting medical resources, which is highly compatible with our planned pharmaceutical R&D and production industrial park and welfare hospital project aimed at benefiting people's livelihoods."

Zeng Long pushed the two proposals toward Teng Ao and Yan Rugo:

"You two should take a close look at the specific details and subsequent negotiation standards. After dinner, we'll have another meeting to finalize the details."

His words were like the sound of a starting gun.

Teng Ao and Yan Ruge immediately took the plan and began to study it with serious expressions.

They knew that these were not just two documents, but the key to unlocking the future economic take-off of the two provinces, and the first crucial move in the Longyu Group's vast business empire.

All of these decisions stemmed from the man sitting in the main seat at this moment, a man who was excessively young yet already wielded astonishing power.

Yan Ruge knew even better that the two important figures from these two provinces were Zeng Long's uncle and maternal uncle.

Given Zeng Long's protective nature, he will definitely give strong support to these two provinces.
