Chapter 766
Yurij guffawed in a loud, self- deprecating way. "Steffan, c''mon, don''t be like this!"
After saying that, Yurij took a step forward, approached Steffan, and spoke with a bitter expression.
"Steffan, you know that the current economy is not doing well. Ourpany in Capital City is mainly
focused on literary and artistic products. Not many people are interested in them these days. Plus,
the government has imposed heavy taxes on corporations. After Master Yintern passed away, our
regr patrons don''t visit us anymore. Our family is basically going broke soon, and it won''t be an
understatement to say that it would be a terrible sight."
Yurijined about his hardships. He was glib-tongued.
Steffan''s expression was getting colder by the minute. The only time Yurji woulde to look for
him was when he needed money. He would always make up all sorts of excuses.
Yurij was not cut out to be a businessman. He waszy but he was very good at sweet-talking. He
knew how to make Master Yintern happy, and that was why Master Yintern had left the best
company in Capital City to him. However, since he did not know how to manage apany and
loved indulging in sensual pleasures, he was soon going to run out of money.
Right then, the Yintern Group in Capital City was going downhill day by day. Only a handful of
people recognized the Yintern Group those days.
Steffan sighed inwardly. All said and done, they lived a separate life, and this was not his
responsibility. He did not want to meddle in other people''s affairs and wanted to avoid it if possible.
However, in the past year, it seemed that Yurij did not want to let him go. Every once in a while, he
woulde and extort money from him. This galled him to no end.
"As a president of thepany, you should devote your time and energy to thepany. You
should read up on how to keep up with thetest trends and reuse talents, and not spend your time
in nightclubs every other day." Since Steffan knew the reason he was here, he cut to the chase.
Master Yintern had a family motto. ''Brothers should live in harmony and help each other''. After all,
blood was thicker than water.
Steffan was not a person who valued money. He attached great importance to brotherhood. Since
thepany in Capital City was in financial turmoil, he would not turn a blind eye to it. He had
generously helped him the first couple of times. As time went by, even the wealthiestpany
would not be able to avoid bankruptcy. Gradually, Steffan not only became fed up but it became a
problem that he could no longer solve.
"Steffan, I''ve done my best. You also know that the business in Capital City is not good. It''s not our
fault that we have not been popr these days, especially after the Richards Group moved its
company headquarters to Capital City. Even ourpany, which used to be popr in cinema and
cultural studios, has almost been surpassed by Hansen Richards'' abundant financial resources. If it
goes on like this, then there will be no way out for us." Yurij wore a sad face and bemoaned the
situation.
Steffan listened to hisments and soon became impatient. He briefly nced at the watch on his
wrist and realized that Jenna should being out soon.
He neither wanted Yurij to see Jenna with him, nor did he want Jenna to know that he had a brother,
so he stiffly interrupted him, "Just tell me how much do you need."
When Yurij heard that there was hope, his eyes lit up. He immediately smiled and said, "Not much,
only 5 million dors."
Steffan''s expression was frigid. He did not want to argue with him any longer, so he took out his
cheque book from his pocket and wrote a cheque for five million dors. He said solemnly, "I''m
doing this for the sake of the Yintern family. This will be thest time I''m helping yourpany. I
hope you will buck up and put in more effort into managing thepany well."
"Alright, alright." Yurij''s eyes were bright. After epting the cheque and ncing at it, he carefully
tucked it in his pocket with a huge smile on his face. He then said, "Steffan, Grandma misses you.
She said it''s time for you to find a partner and settle down. You are already 38 years old. You''re not
getting any younger. She is looking forward to you bringing your girlfriend home."
After that, he looked towards the luxurious hotel again and said with a mysterious smile on his face,
"It looks like you''re here with your girlfriend, right?
A smile subconsciously appeared at the corner of Steffan''s mouth, but he declined to say anything.
The smile on Yurij''s face became even more apparent.
In order to prevent Yurij from ruining the atmosphere, he took out a card from his pocket and
handed it to him. He said, "There are a couple of thousands of dors in here. Why don''t you use
the money to get your kids some food and new clothes? I have something else to do, so I won''t
keep you here. And please pay more attention to thepany. The Yintern family has always been
very intelligent. People who earn sries are not rogues in the market. You have to be good-
tempered."
When Yurij saw Steffan offer him his bank card, his face blossomed into a wide grin. He quickly
reached out and epted the card as he said, "Yes, I will. Thank you on behalf of my kids."
"Then, you should leave now." Steffan took another nce at his watch and ordered him to leave.
"Alright. Steffan, you''re the best. Although this is an ind country, the Yintern Group has a good
reputation and status. The economy is pretty good and it''s quitefortable here." Yurij went on
before he left. However, he also reminded Steffan, "But now, you have to be careful. Hansen is now
in Srirano and that''s not a good thing. Now, all the popr industries in the country are inseparable
from the Richards Group. The current Richards Group is very popr and unrivalled. You must
keep an eye on them."
"Okay, I know," Steffan replied. He sounded a little unhappy.
Yurij got what he wanted and said courteously, "Then, I''ll be making a move. Don''t want to interrupt
you on your date, do we?" He then got into his car and left. Before he drove off, he did not forget to
remind him, "You need to bring a girl home as soon as possible."
As soon as Yurij left, Steffan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take care, Mr. Richards." Just as Steffan breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the sounds of footsteps
behind him. He could not help but to turn around.
He saw a handsome man dressed in a suit and tie surrounded by a throng of people as he exited
the hotel. He was wearing a pair of sses, his strides self-assured, and had no expression on his
face.
Needless to say, he immediately knew that this was Hansen Richards, the business mogul who was
the talk of the town.
He had seen Hansen in the newspaper headlines and TV news a couple of times, so he naturally
left an impression on Steffan.
His hands in his pockets, Steffan stood there with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
The hotel manager led a group of ministers and walked them out of the hotel.
It seemed that everyone put their loyalties where their interests were. When they saw that there
were rich businessmening over, their tters could echo for some distance.
Steffan had always been indifferent to these things. He had never paid any attention to these
sessful people. He raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the hotel.

He roughly knew that Dory was about toe out.
There was still some time until seven o''clock. He was nning to take her out for a walk before they
headed over to the banquet.
As soon as Hansen''s footsteps and the others passed by in front of him, his eyes lit up. Jenna,
donning a white dress, emerged from the hotel.
Her beautiful hair was styled into a bun. Her makeup was exquisite and she looked very elegant.
She stood in front of him like a proud peony. It was as if a wall had been erected around her,
separating her from the ordinary, leaving only her nobility and fragrance.
The distinctive scent wafting from her gradually drifted through the air.
