A Promising Youth novel Chapter 24

There was silence on the other end of the line. Then Sienna took a long sigh.

“I've heard more or less about you, that formula is worth no less than 50 million, right?”

Sienna's tone of voice regained its calmness.

“Right.

I'll take this formula as collateral. If you have the money, please do me a favor for once for the sake of the Master. I will never let you lose out.”

Taking a deep breath, I didn't expect Sienna to be so well-informed.

“Matteo, I rarely persuade people, but for the sake of you being his disciple, listen to me, this is just a means to pull in foreign investors. After the auction, it won't take long for the land price to fall. If the investors' land can't go out, they can only come to R City to build their own houses and factories. This is the usual trap of business, don't fall for it!”

I said into the phone.

“Sienna, thank you for the reminder, but I still decided that I will do this. If I lose, the formula will be yours, and if I win, I will pay you double the interest.”

After a moment of silence, Sienna once again regained her coldness and said.

“You've really surprised me. Master was wrong at you. Send me the account number later. You can keep the formula for now. I'll take it when I need.”

She hung up the phone. I took a long sigh. Although everyone didn’t think the land of JB District was good, from the point of view of urban planning and investment, it was right to invest!

At noon Clara and I had lunch and she took to the mall to buy me a suit, which was as expensive as 5000, but Clara did not hesitate and said it looked good on me.

I asked Clara to take me to the bank to get a card, and then I sent the card number to Sienna.

Although Sienna and I had never met, her efficiency was fast. In less than 2 hours, the text message said the money had arrived.

The R City’s Government Enterprise Building was old, but it was a place of substance and majesty. It was held in the cafeteria, and I later learned that there were so many people coming this time that the normal meeting room failed to hold them.

The summit was officially opened at 1:30 pm.

It was the first time I had seen a crowd of people.

I was sitting in the corner with Clara excitedly and she pointed around and said.

“Any one of these guys is worth hundreds of millions!

If a bomb were to drop in, it could blow up billions at once!”

I snorted and laughed. Clara was interesting, optimistic and funny.

“Sis, don’t you want to marry a rich man? Look around, is there a man you like? I'll ask for a card for you.” I teased her on purpose.

“Go to hell! The factory isn't over yet. I will if it is over!”

She gave me a blank look, grabbed the water at the table and gulped it down.

I was right next to her, watching her quietly. Suddenly I realized that Clara had a special magic, as long as I was with her, I didn't feel too nervous or gloomy in my heart. I felt warm instead.

After drinking the water, she pouted with jealousy, looked at the front row and said,

“My mom used to sit in the third row, but now I'm in the corner. Matteo, am I useless?”

I shook my head and looked at her, smiling earnestly.

“Sis, one day, you'll have a front row seat, and it'll be the first row, the one in the middle!”

Just after the words were said, the whole venue suddenly fell silent. I thought that it was about to start, but it was not yet 2 o'clock.

Following the crowd's gaze, Clara and I turned our heads to look at the doorway. At that moment, I took a breath!
