Just as he expected... François Pinault’s voice became noticeably lighter when he heard this. Although he wasn’t a trailblazer like Arno, he didn’t want to seem weaker in comparison, lest he become a stepping stone for the Arno family.
"Mr. Su, I’ll have to trouble you with this matter then!"
Hearing Pinault’s words, Su Chen also let out a long sigh of relief and said with a laugh, "Hahaha~ It’s a small matter. In fact, I should be thanking you, Mr. Pinault, for returning our country’s cultural relics."
"Mr. Su, you’re being too formal. We’re friends, isn’t this what friends should do?" Pinault’s tone was much warmer than before.
The two of them discussed a few more details, but the specifics would have to wait until after Su Chen spoke with Xiao Chen to see how they would arrange things.
After hanging up, Su Chen didn’t call Xiao Chen right away. The previous call had lasted for about twenty minutes, and there was only half an hour left before the afternoon’s annual meeting.
"Let’s go!" Su Chen called to Chen Fei, and they took the elevator down to the underground garage.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, he saw three Rolls-Royces parked in front of him.
"Old Su, you’re finally down! We’ve been waiting so long the flowers are about to wilt!" Sicong complained upon seeing Su Chen’s figure.
"Something held me up. Let’s go!" Su Chen glanced around and saw that Deng Chao and Chen He were in the two Rolls-Royces behind.
This year, Yunmengze Capital’s annual meeting was held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Pudong. The venue was situated in the heart of the Lujiazui financial and business district, right next to the famous Oriental Pearl Tower. From the hotel, one could enjoy a panoramic night view of the historic buildings along the Bund.
It was only a three-to-five-minute drive from Su Chen’s residence at One Central Residences, and the group quickly arrived at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
"Whoa~ They’ve really gone all out. Red carpet, colorful flags, and even a signing wall," Sicong said with some surprise, looking at the setup at the hotel entrance.
As Su Chen got out of the car, he saw Pei Rang walking out from the hotel lobby to greet him, accompanied by several other people.
When he saw the three people beside him, a flash of surprise crossed Su Chen’s eyes. He muttered to himself, "Why are they here too?"
"What do you mean ’they’ are here too?" Sicong asked, confused.
Su Chen ignored him and strode towards the hotel lobby instead.
"Boss!"
"Mr. Su!"
Su Chen nodded slightly, his gaze falling upon the three people beside Pei Rang. They were none other than the heads of the Huaxia divisions for the three major luxury goods conglomerates: Emma from the Louis Vuitton Group, George from the Kaiyun Group, and Hamis from the Richemont Group.
