"Who is Boss Zhen?"

"The one who owns the Zhen De Group?"

"Zhen Jiulin of Chu Zhou City? Old Man Zhen! Why is he here?"

Before the youngsters outside the main hall realized what was going on, the adults sitting inside were agitated by the announcement. Compared to Yan Shigao whose influence only exerted out as far as the Chu Zhou City, Zhen Jiulin was a household name in the entire province. No doubt he was on the list of top fifty wealthiest men in the Hu Dong Province.

If not because of the Wan Rong Group who happened to reside in the same city, he might as well be the richest person in Chu Zhou City. No wonder his nickname was Half-City since he literally owned half of the city's properties.

Surrounded by his companions, Zhen Jiulin walked into the courtyard. The old man was wearing traditional Chinese dress and by the look of his silver hair, he ought to be in his seventies. However, he was as energetic as a young man.

"He is indeed Zhen Jiulin! I can't remember anyone in our family having any connection with him."

Chen An was surprised by the appearance of a tycoon from Jiang Bei in his family clan's gathering.

Chen Ning felt a nagging suspicion that this old man came here for Chen Fan just as the other strange guest from Chu Zhou City.

"Old Man Zhen, welcome! What brings you here?"

Second Uncle hurried to greet the old man at the door.

No one who attended the gathering could rival the wealth and power of Zhen Jiulin, therefore, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Auntie, and many other guests trailed behind Second Uncle to meet the old man.

The only people who remained in their seats were Chen Zhenxin, Billionaire Yang, Chen Xiao and a few other elders of the family.

"Hello, Boss Chen." Zhen Jiulin nodded.

Both Zhen Jiulin and Chen Qianxin managed large considerations in the province and therefore they had met each other during business conferences. However, unlike Second Uncle, Zhen Jiulin made his fortune from a humble beginning and eventually achieved greatness. He was much more respectable that Chen Qianxin, who simply inherited wealth from family.

"I am here to wish Mr. Chen a happy new year." Zhen Jiulin said in a deep and earnest voice.

"Mr. Chen?" Chen Zhenxin was confused. "But which one? Are you talking about my brother Chen Zhenxin?"

In Chen Qianxin's mind, Chen Huaian and Chen Zhenxin were the only two who command enough prestige to attract the attention of Old Man Zhen. However, Chen Huaian was already retired so it had to be Chen Zhenxin.

Inside the main hall, Chen Zhenxin started to get ready to meet the guest.

As he gathered himself, it occurred to him that the old man might have been here to give him a heads up about some of Zhen De Group's project proposals. After all, at Chen Zhenxin's level, it was not uncommon to have powerful men seeking a favor from him.

"It's true that our Big Brother is going to get promoted. Look! Even the billionaires from the Jiang Bei want to visit him." Fourth Auntie said jealously.

Hearing Fourth Auntie's words, Boss Yang congratulated Chen Zhenxin. "I have heard of Old Man Zhen's name and know he is a force to be reckoned with. He never easily visits anyone in person unless he believes it was worth his time."

"You think too highly of me." Chen Zhenxin said with a calm expression and a fake humbleness.

Meanwhile, a smug smile already bloomed on Great Auntie's face.
