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

Inside the state guesthouse, the lights were on, and the voices were low.

High-ranking officials and elites from various regions were already seated, the space filled with a dense crowd and flashing cameras. A silent tension permeated the air, as if even the drop of a pin could create ripples.

Suddenly, all the lights went out! The hall was plunged into darkness, with only a few spotlights like divine swords piercing the gloom with precision and coldness, focusing on the entrance to the side of the stage.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

"Tap...tap...tap..."

The crisp, steady, and rhythmic tapping of high heels approached from afar, neither hurried nor slow.

Each sound seemed to strike at the very heartbeat of the crowd, resonating deep within their souls.

A tall, elegant figure stepped into the dazzling spotlight circle against the backdrop of the light.

Yan Ruge.

She wore a custom-made deep-sea blue suit skirt, the cut of which was extremely sharp, outlining her tall and proud curves. Her long, black hair was meticulously tied into a low ponytail at the back of her head, and her smooth forehead and slender neck were like those of a swan, dazzlingly white under the strong light.

She didn't look at anyone in the audience, her gaze was straight ahead, and she walked steadily towards the isolated standing microphone in the center of the stage.

Stand still, look up.

The spotlight cast a deep shadow on her cool and delicate features. Her eyes were as calm as a frozen lake, yet beneath the ice, there seemed to be undercurrents and storms that could sweep everything away.

She didn't even need to speak. Her innate nobility, the profound knowledge and experience cultivated by the Yan family over the years, and the powerful aura she had honed herself, like a sword drawn from its sheath, spread out like an invisible tide, instantly enveloping the entire room, suppressing all noise, and capturing everyone's breath.

"Everyone."

The clear voice came through the microphone, not loud, but with a metallic quality and a cold penetrating power, clearly penetrating deep into everyone's eardrums.

"I am Yan Ruge, General Manager of Longyu Group (Domestic Region)."

There wasn't a single superfluous polite word, not a single wasted pleasantries; it went straight to the point, crisp and efficient.

She leaned forward slightly, her gaze like a high-precision scanner, slowly sweeping over the familiar or unfamiliar faces of those who held local power in the audience.

"Longyu is not a company here to add icing on the cake."

"We are here to create an era."

"What we carry is not cold, hard figures of capital lying on the books."

She paused deliberately for a second, the brief silence seeming to stretch out infinitely, her eyes sharp as knives.

"It is the spark that can ignite the future and reshape the industrial landscape!"

Below the stage, countless high-ranking officials subconsciously held their breath.

"Longyu is not investing in redundant factories, nor in low-end production capacity transferred from low-end industries."

Her voice suddenly rose, carrying an unquestionable, even cruel, resolve.

"It's wisdom! It's technology! It's the core competitiveness that can break down barriers and lead the world!"

"The 'Longyu City' we're building is no ordinary real estate project!"

Her arm suddenly rose, pointing into the void, her fingertips seemingly crackling with electric arcs, outlining an unprecedentedly grand blueprint.

"It's a signal! A declaration!"

"We declare that the companies of the Dragon Kingdom have both the capability and the vision to build an utopia for their followers and the elites of this era—a utopia where work-life balance is achieved, individuals and families are harmonious, and dreams and responsibilities go hand in hand!"

Her gaze deepened, scrutinizing and carrying a hint of barely perceptible pity as she swept over those who might still cling to outdated ways of thinking.

"Therefore, please put away those monotonous land incentives and tax breaks in your documents."

Her tone was undisguisedly cold.

"That won't attract Long Yu."

"Then, he's still not a match for Long Yu!"

"That is certainly not the core and soul that Long Yu, who strives for progress with the nation, shares prosperity with the people, and prospers with the people, seeks!"

Therefore, "Long Yu doesn't lack these things."

What we need to see is "the governing structure and vision of each locality! And whether each of you present possesses the determination and courage to create a future together with Long Yu!"

"Humanity is progressing, and times are changing. Only through sustainable innovation can Longyu break through the encirclement, reach the international stage, and shatter the technological blockade and monopoly of foreign forces!"

"To become a commercial behemoth of technological innovation, and grow into... an unshakeable giant!"

"But the road ahead is destined to be full of thorns!" Her eyes suddenly turned sharp, as if she could already see the bloodshed to come.

"Longyu will face brutal technological containment in the future. It will engage in fierce commercial competition and battles with the most powerful international companies in the same field!"

"This isn't a dinner invitation!"

Her question struck like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart:

"Then, it depends on whether your local plans are truly prepared to respond to and support Long Yu, and with the backing of strong capital, achieve genuine and sustainable development and counterattack!"

Finally, she took a deep breath, her voice resounding throughout the hall with powerful confidence and an almost religious appeal:

"so--"

Tell me, what about you...?

"Are you ready?"

"Are you ready to join Long Yu in breaking conventions and overturning traditions, to jointly write a business legend that belongs to the Dragon Kingdom and the world on this great land?!"

The moment she finished speaking, the spotlight erupted with the most intense and dazzling light on her!

She stood like a female war goddess descended from the heavens, wielding the power of commerce and change, standing in the center of the light, aloof, powerful, and unapproachable.

silence.

A deathly silence.

It was as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

immediately--

"Whoa!!!!!!!!!"

The applause was like molten lava that had been accumulating for thousands of years, suddenly breaking through the earth's crust and erupting with a thunderous roar! It was deafening, overwhelming, and seemed to lift the entire dome of the state guesthouse!

Enduring!

Below the stage, all attendees, regardless of their status or position, had flushed faces and excited eyes, deeply moved and utterly shocked!

The pen that Chen Jiping had been unconsciously twirling in his hand came to a complete stop.

Zeng Qiang's eyes gleamed with an unprecedented, sharp light, as if he had discovered a new continent.

With just one sentence, Yan Rugo elevated this investment promotion meeting to a whole new level. She not only ignited the atmosphere but also irresistibly drew all the provincial and municipal leaders and their teams into the higher-dimensional and more brutal battlefield she and Long Yu had set up.
