Large families do have a lot of rules, especially when it comes to dining. The saying "no rules, no order" seems a bit of a stretch.

Zhao An noticed something interesting about the seating arrangements. Women sat with women, men with men. Young people sat at one table, while the older generation sat at another, practically dividing the dining area by age.

The unique seating arrangement only made Zhao An realize how many ridiculously large family rules there were, but it didn't affect his eating speed.

Watching Zhao An devour his meal, the Qian family's core management staff were all puzzled and astonished. Had this guy been hungry for three days?

"Good appetite! I envy you young people." Qian Ben took a sip of his red wine. He was used to this kind of thing. As the head of a family, he should remain calm even in the face of adversity, remaining unperturbed by praise or criticism. Only then could he project a calm demeanor to those below him.

"Being able to eat proves good health. Without a healthy body, making a lot of money is meaningless." Zhao An was already full. He had practically devoured the entire meal, leaving others to eat only his leftovers.

"Indeed, I wonder what your thoughts are on future developments?" Qian Ben suddenly asked a slightly crucial question, one that made most people pause and listen intently. This was about making money, and this kind of information was worth a fortune!

Zhao An took out a cigarette and lit it, unfazed. "The future is the internet age. Whether it's mobile or fixed internet, it's the unstoppable trend. I prefer mobile internet. With the development and upgrading of mobile phones, the internet's methods can disrupt traditional industries. It's just that most people only see the surface, not the underlying essence."

"What is the underlying essence?" asked a bespectacled family member, dressed in a suit, leather shoes, and shorts, looking truly respectable.

Zhao An glanced at him. "Inner nature is the key to making money. I won't elaborate on that. Just explore it on your own."

"This!" Everyone was stunned. Was he kidding? It had come to this point. It was like soliciting prostitution. The prostitute was already at the hotel entrance, and you said you didn't want to play anymore? Isn't this a complete joke?

Qian Yuling couldn't help but laugh. She knew this was just male nature. He'd saved her mother out of respect, but he wouldn't necessarily treat the other members of the Qian family the same way.

"A few words won't hurt. Just think of it as a little inspiration for the younger generation of the Qian family. They all think of you as a star, a true genius." Qian Ben offered kind words. This was a rare opportunity, and if Zhao An could say a few more words, it would be a great inspiration to the Qian family members.

Feeling the gazes of the Qian family members present, Zhao An remained unmoved. He blew out a smoke ring, and the hall was filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs. Everyone, who had initially thought it was the stink of cigarettes, was also surprised. This cigarette seemed to have something special.

Zhao An took out a cigarette and handed it to Qian Ben. "I won't give it away. This one costs two hundred thousand."

This made everyone's eyelids raise. Two hundred thousand for a cigarette?

It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but that it wasn't necessary. They were all coal bosses, so how could they be short of money? Even coal bosses wouldn't be fooled. If they spent two hundred thousand on a minor celebrity, it would be considered great value. But two hundred thousand for a cigarette, for a matter of just one minute—that was a bit unreasonable.

"I recommend not smoking this kind of cigarette. It helps quit smoking. After you smoke this kind of cigarette, other cigarettes will become boring. So if you want to quit, give it a try. If you don't, don't try it." Zhao An puffed on his cigarette, one hand resting on the table, giving off a somewhat frivolous air.

"So, what are your thoughts on the development of the internet?" Qian Ben brought the conversation back to making money. If Zhao An weren't such a genius, he certainly wouldn't have continued to dwell on the issue.

Zhao An's eyes hinted at a hint of amusement. "Old Qian, I'll show you a clear path. Don't worry about internet trends. Focus on the logistics industry. I guarantee you'll still be profitable in the next 30 years. Not fabulously wealthy, but certainly enough to keep your Qian family on par with the rest of the pack."

"Don't say I'm not looking out for you. I wouldn't say that about ordinary people. Of course, a corresponding upgrade is necessary. Keep up with mobile internet trends and develop appropriate software to ensure you don't get left behind," Zhao An added, his smile enigmatic.

This statement made everyone present's eyes light up. It was obvious: just focus on the logistics industry.

If Zhao An hadn't created the mythical legend of earning tens of billions a month, no one would have paid any attention to what he said.

Qian Yuling sat nearby, calmly drinking her red wine, her expression unwavering. In reality, she was already feeling a little soft inside. She could feel the heat welling up inside her, eager to make love with Zhao An, the now talkative and powerful man, to mate with him, to let her young husband fuck her hard.

The reason was simple: Zhao An was just too handsome. A serious man at this moment was the most attractive.

"Thank you so much for your explanation. We've benefited so much. This way, please step into my study so we can discuss it in detail." Qian Ben stood up and gestured to Zhao An.

As Zhao An and Qian Ben disappeared from view, the living room returned to its lively atmosphere.

Some of the women in the Qian family began to pull Qian Yuling over to get close to them. They had mocked her when she was in debt. It was simply because Qian Yuling was so beautiful that they were jealous.

Now that Qian Yuling had become Zhao An's trusted partner, these female relatives changed their expressions again, one after another, wearing fawning smiles.

They weren't fools; they knew Qian Yuling was definitely making a lot of money, especially now that her new smartphone had already started shipping. Everyone who had used it praised it, and the price was very affordable, just 1,999 yuan, less than 2,000 yuan. Its performance far surpassed those phones costing 3,000 or 4,000 yuan, and its quality and affordability made it highly competitive.

The upper class was like that, a very realistic society. Money made the boss. As long as they could make money and benefited from it, they were brothers. If they couldn't make money and stood in the way of their wealth, they were enemies.
