Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 960: 960 Arrives

Yuanyuan also greeted everyone with a slight smile. Although the language barrier exists, a smile is the best way to bridge gaps.

The leader from Japan was even more displeased. Were they unsatisfied with them? If it weren’t for being in a foreign land, they would have surely dealt with this hateful woman.

Yuanyuan returned to her room to rest, as they had the entire First Layer to themselves this time. Convenient indeed.

Now that they’ve arrived safely, everyone relaxed. After all, flying over the sea carries unpredictable risks. Now that they’re on solid ground, they felt secure.

Yuanyuan had observed the surroundings earlier. To be honest, their underhanded schemes were truly unpresentable, yet they felt no guilt whatsoever.

If I have the power, I’ll bully you. You get hit because you’re weak and incompetent.

Yuanyuan smirked inwardly, thinking that whatever she does now won’t matter. Just follow their logic; if you’re weak, I can do whatever I want.

Chengzi was outside with a few bodyguards. To be honest, besides Chengzi, the others were quite tense. They held national and familial grudges, and didn’t regard these people favorably at all, considering them devoid of conscience.

Yuanyuan rested in the room, as there was a welcome event that night for the representatives from eight nations who had arrived.

The welcome event was perfect, as Yuanyuan hoped to meet their top officials to gather more information.

Seeing the travel brochures on the table was ideal. It allowed her to choose a remote place, and she needed to follow through with their plans and leave a psychological hint to those people. In over half a year, they just had to wait for the father and son to return.

As long as they’re here, everything is negotiable. Even if they forgot about Tan Shaoting, through some people’s thoughts, they knew he was formidable. He’d know what to do, and she would certainly get to meet him before their return.

Going through the travel records, she thought a sparsely populated place would be the safest, making any actions easier to execute.

While planning here, she figured the only way to get out was through the space, else it wasn’t possible. Considering her route, she thought she should find a detailed map for convenience.

The leaders were in a meeting, which Yuanyuan did not attend. Her mission here was different from theirs.

At five in the afternoon, someone came to inform them that the welcome banquet was being held at the hotel in a buffet style.

Honestly, Yuanyuan was quite disdainful of them. In her past life, she wasn’t completely uninformed about them; she viscerally despised and resented them.

She had no choice but to endure. There were no issues with food and drink; if there were, she’d cause them trouble.

Yuanyuan was still in her military uniform, looking heroic. She refused the alternative clothing offered earlier. This outfit wasn’t meant to flaunt, but it certainly aimed to unsettle them.

The five female bodyguards were similarly attired, as were Chengzi and the rest. The other leaders also wore coordinated outfits, looking particularly spirited.

Everyone gathered in the main hall in front. "Everyone, just relax, don’t be too formal. Let me know if anyone embarrasses us. Remember, I’ll back you up if anything happens, but those who act cowardly will face the consequences when we return."

Everyone knew her methods and her resolute style; her words were true, they’d not accept any disgrace.

The group headed downstairs, and several foreign leaders had already arrived.

Yuanyuan was quite popular among this crowd. After all, she was young, beautiful, and had a strong personality.

So many people proactively greeted her, and she greeted everyone with a smile.

The crowd grew, and by six o’clock, all the leaders had arrived. The leaders from Japan also very respectfully welcomed everyone.

Yuanyuan despised their hypocrisy, with so many reporters and flashing lights, her mood worsened.

The media were very curious about this leader, Yuanyuan. As a result, there were many photos of her, and some wanted to interview her.

This made them arrange an appointment, giving them this opportunity which Yuanyuan anticipated, creating a stance. She took the chance to exhibit herself.

From the outside perspective, Yuanyuan seemed like a dignified, beautiful young woman, very pleasing to the eye. Previously, she refused all interviews, and now unexpectedly there was a chance for one.

The speech was brief, with another seminar planned after the banquet, so the reporters weren’t in a hurry.

These were people long-term in charge of these affairs, so they recognized the foreign leaders.

Some even had good relations, so at the banquet, they gathered in small groups to chat.

Now wasn’t work time, so everyone spoke freely.

Yuanyuan was constantly listening to their thoughts, gathering a lot of useful information.

Chengzi and the others stayed by her side. She only had a piece of bread, a glass of milk, and some fruit.

She wasn’t interested in the other food. A few leaders came over, and Yuanyuan asked Chengzi to step aside. They sat together.

"Minister Su is as beautiful as ever, just like last year."

Yuanyuan smiled, "I’m still young."

This made everyone laugh, "Are we old? When will Minister Su visit us? I’ll host you."

"There will definitely be a chance."

The conversation was casual, and suddenly Yuanyuan noticed someone interesting. A young, handsome man, truly attractive. Is this a geisha? Could such people appear at such an occasion?

"Minister Su, this man is almost as good as you."

Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, thinking, "This was an insult, but such types don’t interest me at all."

"Minister Su, this gentleman is coming towards you, what great taste; you are indeed the most outstanding here."

"Haha, if you were female, they’d approach you too."

"Minister Su is joking. Even if we were women, by Minister Su’s side, no one would look at us."

Just then, the geisha gracefully approached Yuanyuan. "Greetings, leader. Am I honored with the opportunity to serve you?"

Yuanyuan smiled and shook her head, "You’re not honored. I’m allergic to rouge, sorry, please keep your distance."

Everyone was stunned at Yuanyuan’s bluntness, not expecting her to deny it so openly, leaving no face, a complete slap in the face.
