Chapter 320: A Stepping Stone

Cheng Yu didn't come back all night after he left, and I was somewhat curious about what exactly it was that held him up.

Having recently arrived in Shanghai, even if there were any issues with the collaboration with Lou Wenheng, it would at most just be a matter of considering whether or not to invest.

I always had the feeling that he was hiding something else from me.

When I woke up the next day, I received a message from Madam Yan, saying she wanted to take me to meet some good friends from the circle, an opportunity I naturally wouldn't refuse.

Before leaving, I made a point to bring along the gift I had promised to give to Madam Yan.

Getting on good terms with Madam Yan was just the first step. Through her, I could meet more people in the circle, which was important for expanding my network.

We met at a resort in the suburbs, where many people liked to go for barbeque gatherings when they had nothing else to do. Madam Yan rose enthusiastically as soon as she saw me.
