Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 387 - 272 Confrontation

Chapter 387: Chapter 272 Confrontation

Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel, located on the 50th floor in the Rose Garden Suite, was originally chosen by a group for the class reunion because it was the largest suite, with a minimum spending of 100,000 RMB for its hundred-square-meter space.

However, at this moment, the suite was filled with a table of exquisite delicacies, the price of which had already exceeded a million. If two bottles of red wine were added, the price of this meal would have reached a horrifying two million—something that the handsome young man, who’d barely scraped together a few hundred thousand to pretend to be a rich second generation in front of his classmates, could not afford.

Sitting on the main seat with an embarrassed look was Su Can, because right next to him sat Su Zhengxiong, the chairman of Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel.

Although both bore the surname Su, their statuses were worlds apart: one was the head of a corporation with a net worth of hundreds of billions, and the other was a salaried employee making thirty to forty thousand a month, trying to swell his face to look fat.

Of course, given Su Zhengxiong’s status, wherever he sat would become the focal point of everyone’s attention.

Aside from the dozen or so cheongsam-clad waitresses who stayed in the hall, the general manager of Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel and the heads of various departments were all present, standing respectfully around the room.

This year, fifty-three, with a pair of triangular eyes, Su Zhengxiong smiled broadly. He pointed to a fine dish in front of him, his voice jovial:

“Director Zhan, try our chef’s craftsmanship. This master chef is someone I’ve spent a lot of money to bring in from France, a Michelin five-star chef.

In our Demon Capital, there are quite a few Michelin-starred chefs, but there are only two five-star chefs—one at your Tianxiangyuan, and one here with me!”

The previously lively and cheerful atmosphere of the hall had become tense, and the twenty or so young classmates were all silenced.

They might not know who Su Zhengxiong was, but with the dozen waitresses bowing their heads in service and the twenty or so high-level hotel executives standing respectfully behind them,

and with several stern-faced black-clothed bodyguards in the corners of the room constantly surveilling the area, the solemn atmosphere had chilled these young people who hadn’t seen much of the world.

Aside from Su Zhengxiong, who wore a broad smile, the only other person who remained unaffected was Zhan Bingxue, clad in a red long dress.

As the chairwoman of Bafang International Chain Hotel, holding the reins of a conglomerate worth a hundred billion, Zhan Bingxue’s Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel was valued at 220 billion, more luxurious than Tengwang Pavilion beneath her feet.

In terms of net worth, Bingxue was no less than her counterpart; in terms of connections, although Su Zhengxiong had the moniker ‘King Su’ and solid roots in the Demon Capital, she, Zhan Bingxue, was not to be trifled with either.

Behind her was Mr. Chu, who could chat and laugh with the heads of the four major families of the Demon Capital. In a real power struggle, even the Demon Capital’s four major family conglomerates, each with a net worth of a hundred billion, had to bow their heads; the Su family, with only five or six hundred billion, couldn’t stir up much trouble.

It was precisely because of this confidence that Zhan Bingxue, although half the age of her counterpart, radiated an unparalleled powerful aura.

She elegantly picked up the fork and gently sliced the premium wagyu beef in front of her. The medium-rare beef was actually not to Bingxue’s taste, but she did not complain; instead, she picked up a small piece and tasted it.

The five-star Michelin chef’s skills were beyond question—Bingxue had thought the wagyu beef might be less palatable because it wasn’t fully cooked, but the Michelin chef had poured a layer of mushroom sauce on the steak.

This was a sauce based on cream, with some fungi and top-notch black truffle sauce added, which not only made the steak more tender, but once a bite was taken, the succulent juices seemed to explode in the mouth with deliciousness.

Although she admired the chef’s skill deep down, Bingxue showed no sign of it on her face.

She elegantly put down the knife and fork in her hands, and as she picked up the napkin next to her to wipe the corner of her mouth, her voice was cold:

“You’ve gone to great expense, Director Su!”

Su Zhengxiong burst into laughter, his triangular eyes unconsciously narrowing, exuding an intimidating aura that made one’s heart race.

“Director Zhan, to be frank, even if you hadn’t come today, I was planning to pay you a visit in the next few days.”

With an impassive expression, Zhan Bingxue slightly raised her eyebrows and spoke in a calm voice,

“Mr. Su, please speak your mind.”

Su Zhengxiong’s gaze swept over the group of restrained young people in front of him, but seeing that Zhan Bingxue was indifferent, he abandoned the idea of sending these troublesome youngsters away. After a moment of thought, the smile on the patriarch’s face slowly faded as he said casually,

“I’ve heard that in your office, Director Zhan, there is a master plan that includes eighteen five-star hotels in Lujiazui, among them Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel, Bafang International, Tianyi, and Tianhua Grand Hotel. You’ve already acquired five five-star hotels, and it seems that your next target is our Su family’s Tengwangge Hotel! Is there any truth to that?”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Bingxue’s brows furrowed slightly.

According to the original plan, Bafang International’s next acquisition was supposed to be the 72 billion RMB Modu International Grand Hotel. The preemptive acquisition of Tengwangge Hotel was an impromptu idea from Zhan Bingxue.

She truly hadn’t expected that just after her high-level meeting had ended discussing this matter, her opponent had already received the news!

At this moment, Zhan Bingxue’s face looked rather troubled, knowing that the only ones aware of the Tengwangge Hotel acquisition were the four confidants present that afternoon.

These four individuals were supposed to be her most trusted subordinates, and Zhan Bingxue had even planned to entrust the management of the Tengwangge Hotel, valued at 185 billion RMB, to one of them.

But now, it seemed she had been too naive.

Among the four close confidants, at least one was a spy. Her entire strategy had not yet been deployed, and her opponent already knew everything. The battle hadn’t even started, and Zhan Bingxue was already at a disadvantage!

Across from her, the relaxed Su Zhengxiong leaned forward slightly, exuding an oppressive air. Then he said nonchalantly,

“Director Zhan, Tengwangge Hotel is not Tianxiangyuan, and I am not the tycoon Zhang Dahua. Although Zhang Dahua is the richest man, within the Modu circle, he is but a foreign monk with an unstable footing.

Furthermore, for Zhang Dahua, his main focus isn’t in Modu. Losing Tianxiangyuan is no big deal to him, but Tengwangge is the backbone of the Su family, and my lifeblood. If anyone touches my Tengwangge, I’ll fight them with my life!

My family has been operating in Modu for decades. How about this, Director Zhan, you remove Tengwangge from your plans, and we keep our waters from crossing in the future!”

As Su Zhengxiong’s words fell, the atmosphere in the suite immediately grew heavier.

Zhan Bingxue, her expression calm, gently tapped her slender fingers on the tabletop. Her gaze turned slightly colder as she said,

“Mr. Su, I’ve already experienced your tactics! However, acquiring Tengwang Pavilion isn’t my idea, but Mr. Chu’s. If you’re interested, perhaps you should have tea with Mr. Chu and discuss it.”

The previously gentle-appearing Su Zhengxiong’s expression also turned solemn, his triangular eyes narrowing and gleaming with danger. His voice, now stripped of its prior warmth, warned,

“Director Zhan, this is your last chance. I advise you not to make decisions you’ll regret!”
