Starting with a Super Five-Star Hotel

Chapter 391 The Performance Begins_1


"Mr. Wang, Mr. Buffett will be here tomorrow. Have you prepared the venue?" Su Xuan asked Wang Junming after finalizing Buffett's itinerary.

"Ah... not yet," Wang Junming stammered. He had only submitted the hefty deposit for the dinner, but he hadn't received a clear response from Buffett, let alone a confirmation of the date. As a result, he was completely unprepared.

At the same time, Su Xuan taking the initiative to speak with him left him feeling unexpectedly flattered, making him a bit restless despite being on his own turf.

Seeing Wang Junming's demeanor, Lu Dachun couldn't help but gloat internally. You looked down on me before, didn't you? You wanted to outsource logistics to your relatives? Why are you so meek and obedient now?

"Let me recommend a place for you," Su Xuan said, pointing in a certain direction. "You can have dinner with Buffett at Lycar tomorrow night."

"Perfect, perfect!" Wang Junming nodded eagerly.

"Also, aren't you planning a press conference?" Su Xuan suddenly asked.

"Yes, yes!" Wang Junming hurriedly confessed. "I really can't hide anything from you. Our company's digital currency isn't very well-known. We wanted to use the dinner with Mr. Buffett to publicize it so we can sell more of our Rabbit machines."

"In that case, let us know when you're preparing the press conference," Su Xuan said enigmatically. "We'll attend as well."

"No problem at all! It would be my honor to have you!" Wang Junming was already grinning from ear to ear.

"Goodbye, then."

With that, Su Xuan left Rabbit Technology with Edward and Lu Dachun.

On the surface, the meeting seemed to have only facilitated a transaction. Su Xuan didn't appear to gain anything, merely helping a friend. But in the shadows, unknown to anyone, he had quietly achieved one of his goals...

That day, Buffett boarded his private jet and departed for Huaxia.

Su Xuan also informed Liu Ming to prepare the venue at Lycar. Strangely, Zhong Huilan's people, dressed in plain clothes, also participated in the setup...

The next day, Wang Junming held a press conference. He paid to invite several celebrities from the tech world and some well-known television media outlets, informing them that he would be hosting an astronomically priced dinner with Buffett at Lycar the following evening. He announced that his company's digital currency was about to become a blockbuster product, and press releases began to circulate online, on television, and in print media.

But to Wang Junming's surprise, Su Xuan not only attended himself but also brought two people of unknown origin.

One was a girl with an ethereal, fairy-like aura.

The other was a man as tall and solid as an iron tower.

These two even joined the group photo at the press conference.

Furthermore, Su Xuan mentioned that they would also be attending the dinner...

"A provocation!"

"They're provoking us!"

"How dare they show their faces in public! They clearly have no respect for us!"

In a nondescript hotel room in the city, five or six people were gathered, their expressions dark as they watched the news on television.

If Qi Li had been there, she would have instantly recognized them. They were the ones who had been hunting her, the very people who had given her the injuries she now bore.

"Confirm the location of Lycar!" one of them, who appeared to be the leader, commanded in a low, grim voice. "We're going to turn their dinner into a death trap!"

"Understood!"

The others immediately complied. They began searching for Lycar on a map, while some took out their weapons and began wiping them down, their faces twisted into bloodthirsty expressions.

But none of them knew that the moment they dared to set foot in Lycar, they would be walking straight into a trap laid by Su Xuan.

"Mr. Buffett, you must be weary from your journey!"

Buffett arrived as scheduled. He and his entourage had just reached the entrance of the Lycar Hotel when Wang Junming rushed forward to greet them, hands outstretched. In Wang Junming's eyes, Buffett wasn't a man but a stack of banknotes—a ladder to success.

"Mr. Wang, a pleasure to meet you."

Buffett gave him a polite but distant handshake. Then, led by Wang Junming, he entered the Lycar Hotel.

"Mr. Buffett, this place was specially chosen by Mr. Su," Wang Junming explained as they walked. "The entire hotel is empty of other guests; it has been prepared exclusively for our dinner. I trust you find it satisfactory?"

"Very satisfactory," Buffett replied, nodding as he took in the hotel's luxurious surroundings. He then asked, "And where is Mr. Su? Is he not joining us tonight?"

"He's already waiting for you in the private room."

Wang Junming led Buffett into a spacious private suite. Just inside the entrance was a lounge area furnished with several European-style sofas. Beyond the lounge lay the actual dining room.

In the lounge, Buffett saw his son, as well as Su Xuan. There were also two people he didn't recognize. After Su Xuan's introductions, he learned their names were Qi Li and Lu Dongshan, and they had prepared a special performance for the dinner.

"Mr. Su, you're far too kind!" Upon hearing there would be a performance, Buffett grasped Su Xuan's hand. "Actually, I'm the one who came to you for help. Your generosity is quite embarrassing!"

Seeing Buffett act so humbly before Su Xuan and hearing that Buffett even had a favor to ask, Wang Junming froze. This can only mean one thing: Su Xuan is far more formidable than Buffett! He's the real big shot at this dinner!

"Don't worry about it. This isn't our first meeting, after all. We're old friends," Su Xuan said with a smile. "Besides, I wasn't embarrassed when you treated me to a meal last time."

Wang Junming was stunned once more. Buffett, a man famous for selling his astronomically priced dinners, actually invited Su Xuan to a meal himself. In comparison, I, who paid a sky-high price to dine with Buffett, am just an insignificant nobody!

"That last meal was too modest. I'll have to treat you to a proper one later," Buffett said.

After the pleasantries, Buffett took his seat. Wang Junming took the seat of the secondary host, while Buffett insisted that Su Xuan sit at the head of the table.

"Mr. Buffett, our Rabbit digital currency is a new type of currency..."

After the opening toast, Wang Junming wasted no time launching into his pitch. His goal for the dinner was not only to create hype but also to get Buffett's expert opinion. After all, Buffett was a titan of the investment world; he would see more clearly than anyone whether the project had a future.

"Mr. Su, this wine is truly excellent!"

Buffett seemed uninterested in the digital currency. Amid Wang Junming's rambling presentation, he proactively raised his glass to Su Xuan and even glanced at his son, signaling for him to drink more with Su Xuan as well.

"If you like it, I'll send you a few bottles for your trip back. It just so happens to be produced by one of my companies," Su Xuan said as he refilled Buffett's glass.

After a few rounds of drinks, Su Xuan's phone suddenly vibrated. He opened a message and read it, his eyes narrowing.

It was from Zhong Huilan: "Su Xuan, they're here. The show is starting..."
