Chapter 281: 275: Open Your Eyes

Tianfu Lucas was left bewildered. When he was invited to this banquet, he was not given much information. All he knew was that it was a high-end gathering, so he brought his son along, presuming it would be good for him to network with some people. This company would inevitably be handed over to him, so the earlier he came to get to know some influential people within the industry, the better.

However, upon seeing the guests already there, he felt startled. Tianfu Lucas might not recognize the younger ones, but the slightly older guests, anyone of them, had a fortune that dwarfed his by several times, or even tenfold! These were people he would normally have difficulty getting to meet.

Despite having quite a fortune himself, Tianfu Lucas was regarded as a mere contractor in their eyes. The only difference was that he was somewhat a larger contractor. But amongst the guests present, there was no one who was on the same level as him.

Although indifferent about the developing situation, Tianfu Lucas was cognizant that this was an opportunity. For most people who attend such parties, the main objective is typically to network and connect with others.

When the clock struck the hour, Finn Lewis walked directly towards the podium. As soon as Finn ascended the podium, everyone below fell silent. Cora Franklin and Handsome Lucas were looking rather dumbfounded. Of course, they were familiar with Finn Lewis. Just yesterday, they had splashed two million on him, so how could Handsome Lucas be oblivious? Not to mention Cora Franklin.

The person standing there still had the same appearance, but the only change was the aura he exuded. Even though Finn looked exactly the same, Cora felt that he had become a different person. The reason behind her intense disdain towards Finn Lewis was due to the inexplicable jealously festering within her. Why was it that when I was by your side, you were dirt poor and down and out, hilt when I left. you became so successful? Why? If I’m not living well. von

shouldn’t either!

“Hello everyone, I am Finn Lewis and the proprietor of the establishment behind me, Moon of West Lake. I welcome everyone to the inauguration ceremony of Moon of West Lake today.” Finn Lewis spoke as he stood on the improvised podium. Despite the influential individuals standing around him, people who could shake up Celeston City by just stomping their feet, Finn showed no signs of being afraid.

“First of all, I want to thank Bank President Chan for helping me invite all of you. Secondly, I want to extend my gratitude to Miss Kay Lee.” Finn Lewis bowed slightly towards where Matthew Chan and Kay Lee were seated.

“This store was opened specifically for Miss Kay Lee. Regarding the reason, I believe all the men here understand that one should pursue a woman and not force her.” Finn said laughing softly.

The faces of the people below were all rather peculiar. All of them were meeting Finn Lewis for the first time. However, as the common saying goes, in the world of politics and business, everyone talks according to the person they are addressing. It was rather unusual to see someone as blunt and direct as Finn Lewis, who didn’t bother sparing someone’s feelings.

They were all aware of who Kay Lee was, and why she was targeted. But Finn’s open declaration of what had transpired had taken everyone present by surprise.

“So, I opened this store for Kay Lee. If, after visiting the shop, you are interested in becoming a member, please see Miss Kay Lee. Now, I know many of you are wondering why a young man like me thinks he can just command your presence at his store opening? What right do I have?” Finn Lewis paused.

A soft chuckle resonated amongst the crowd, Mr. Lewis too chuckled, this young man really did play by his own rules.

“Trust me, you will soon discover why this place is worth your visit. Also, note that we do not accept walk-ins. Now, everyone is welcome to take a tour.” Finn Lewis finished with a smile, and in an inviting gesture, the waitstaff promptly opened the doors of the shop.

Having already made it there, they had to give face. Though the exterior decor gave them an idea of what the interior would look like, it was not a reason enough for them to leave. Everyone walked towards the entrance, congratulated Finn Lewis with a smile, and then entered the shop.

Besides the dozen dining areas on the first floor, there were also areas with small tables set up for tea, and a large hall in the center. To accommodate all the guests, the place had to be sizable. However, upon entering, everyone looked around and found it somewhat strange. The place seemed too ordinary. Was this just another shop expecting them to spend their money here?

Bank President Chan, since you’re the one who invited us, why don’t you tell us what is so unique about Mr. Lewis’ shop?” a man who was quite familiar with

Matthew Chan asked suddenly. As soon as he said this, everyone turned to face

Matthew Chan.

Upon seeing everyone’s gaze directed at him, Matthew Chan gave a wry smile, paused, and then helplessly began, “Alright, I will share what I know. I can just say, every object you see here is rare, and given your vast exposure, you can have a look around this hall and may spot something distinctive?”

Hearing what Matthew Chan had said, everyone’s curiosity piqued. They immediately looked around the hall. Among these top-tier billionaires, many are ardent collectors. No sooner had Matthew Chan finished speaking than someone exclaimed, “This table… Is it made of Dalbergia odorifera from Cliff

State?”

Upon hearing this, someone immediately recognized, “Chairman Field Wilson, is this really Dalbergia odorifera?”

“I’ll inspect it again.” The person addressed as Chairman Field Wilson was a short middle-aged man in his fifties. He briskly walked over to a table inside and began examining it. With Chairman Field Wilson as a trigger, others also started looking at the objects.

A few minutes later, with a surprised look on his face, Chairman Field exclaimed, “There’s no mistake about it! The tables and chairs here are all made of Dalbergia odorifera, the top-quality ones from Cliff State at that.

Moreover, if I am correct, all these tables are antiques, probably dating back to

the Western Dynasty Period..”
