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 bestpany 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 itspany 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?C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    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 everyoneput 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.
