Fifty-two-year-old Huang Haoran was the chairman of Tiandi Culture Company, with the company鈥檚 market value at twenty-three and a half billion.
He personally held fifty-one percent of Tiandi Entertainment鈥檚 shares, making him the absolute authority figure.
Additionally, the man with a general鈥檚 potbelly and a pale, clean face was also involved in the jewelry industry.
He owned several jewelry stores in major cities across the country.
According to last year鈥檚 Forbes list, he was ranked 104th with a net worth of twenty-nine billion.
The man named Huang Haoran was none other than the biggest backer of Nangong Yi who stood behind him.
...
Sitting in the passenger seat of a McLaren priced at 6.5 million, Nangong Yi, in a European-style light silk red dress and long hair as smooth as black silk draped over her shoulders, was the epitome of elegance, looking every bit the high and mighty Persian cat.
With pearly white teeth and bright red lips, she wore a rare blue diamond necklace around her swan-like neck.
Her slender jade fingers were adorned with a dab of red plum blossoms.
Her entire presence was a blend of stunning beauty and understated grace, exuding both warmth and aloofness.
Forty-five-year-old Nangong Yi, dubbed the ageless goddess, had been a sensation in every street and alley of Hua Country over twenty years ago.
Her starring role in a TV drama had set multiple records upon release, and to say it emptied the streets was no exaggeration.
In recent years, Nangong Yi had retired behind the scenes, rarely seen in public within the entertainment circle.

However, her Nanhua Entertainment Company, which she founded, had some achievements 鈥 valued at two and a half billion, with six A-list celebrities and a dozen or so B, C, and D-listers, it held some influence in the industry.
Of course, those in the circle knew that Nangong Yi鈥檚 backer was the very old man before them, Huang Haoran.
In his presence, Nangong Yi was like a caged canary he kept. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
However, when Huang Haoran, with a net worth of twenty-nine billion, faced Mina Gong, a princess worth trillions and ranked among the three most powerful women in the world, he was the embodiment of humility.
The Wei鈥檈r-Mina before him had the power to influence his very livelihood.
After all, half of Huang Haoran鈥檚 fortune came from the jewelry industry, while Princess Mina controlled one-fourth of the world鈥檚 jewelry trade.
To put it bluntly, with just a word from the blonde, all his supply lines could be cut off.
Likewise, if he could seize the opportunity to gain Princess Mina鈥檚 recognition and favor, perhaps her word could catapult him to new heights of success and status.
This was why the middle-aged man took the initiative to come forward and greet her.
鈥淧rincess, I am Huang Haoran.
Three years ago, at the banquet at Alder Castle in Britain, I had the honor of glimpsing your grace.
To be able to meet Your Highness today is truly a blessing of three lifetimes!鈥
The middle-aged man stopped five meters away from the blonde 鈥 the furthest he could approach, as he was already targeted by dozens of bodyguards.
Without permission, five meters was his limit.
Should he proceed any further, just one more step would likely result in his immediate restraint by the bodyguards.
Princess Mina, led by Chu Mo, slightly narrowed her blue eyes.
She seriously reflected, but her mind did not hold the slightest impression of the portly man before her.
It was not that the princess had a forgetful nature, but rather that the man was simply too inconsequential to capture her attention, much like how an ordinary person could not possibly remember every passerby on the street!
To Princess Mina, Huang Haoran, with a net worth of less than thirty billion, was merely a nondescript passerby, insignificant!
But Chu Mo鈥檚 lips slightly curled.
Four months ago, at the grand wedding of Zhou Tianqi, the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, Chu Mo had purchased the Changshou Building 鈥 the second tallest in the Magic City 鈥 from the old Zhou family head, Zhou Shixing.
Accompanying him was his partner, Yang Xuan, who had an unpleasant conflict with someone.
Although Chu Mo had promised not to intervene, he had indeed investigated Nangong Yi and this Huang Haoran afterward.
A few months ago, when Chu Mo had just taken over the financial tower in the magic city and the Bafang International Hotel was barely on the right track, even Shi Yuan Entertainment was only a few billion in scale.
At that time, he didn鈥檛 have the strength to directly confront Huang Haoran!
But now, Huang Haoran, with a net worth of twenty-nine billion, was no longer regarded by Chu Mo!
Even Su Zhengxiong, the king of the magic city with a net worth of fifty or sixty billion, had been uprooted by Chu Mo.
And as for Huang Haoran, Chu Mo could easily make him disappear now!
However, Chu Mo didn鈥檛 do anything.
He had promised Yang Xuan before that he wouldn鈥檛 interfere at all in this matter, leaving the final decision completely up to Yang Xuan.
Naturally, Chu Mo wouldn鈥檛 go back on his word.
鈥淐hu, do you know this Mr.
Huang?鈥
Noticing the faint smile at the corner of Chu Mo鈥檚 mouth, Princess Mina, standing beside him, slightly raised her head.
Her gem-like blue eyes glimmered brilliantly, and standing in crystal high heels, the blonde just one notch shorter than Chu Mo seemed as noble as an angel.
On hearing this, Chu Mo鈥檚 smile grew wider.
He turned his head to glance at the middle-aged man opposite and said with a playful tone,
鈥淗ow to put it, if you鈥檙e talking about familiarity, we certainly haven鈥檛 met before鈥
but to say we don鈥檛 know each other also seems a bit ingenuous鈥︹€
Before he had finished speaking, the middle-aged man five meters away immediately nodded and said with a smile,
鈥淢r.
Chu, you鈥檙e too modest.
Your esteemed name is indeed thunderous to my ears, and I鈥檝e known of you for a long time!鈥
After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, it was then that Yang Xuan, standing beside, suddenly stepped forward half a pace.
Wearing an off-shoulder black lace dress complemented by a collarbone necklace, which made her neck look gracefully slender, Yang Xuan slightly bowed her head and said calmly,
鈥淢r.
Chu, Princess Mina, everything inside is ready.
Please, step this way!鈥
Chu Mo looked at the stunningly beautiful woman with jade-like skin in front of him.
He smiled gently and then without saying much, turned to the blonde princess beside him and said,
鈥淧rincess, let鈥檚 go inside!鈥
The blonde鈥檚 beautiful eyes were expressive, and her every smile revealed an indescribable charm.
She returned the smile gracefully, not bothering to give another glance at the middle-aged man across from her, and taking Chu Mo鈥檚 arm, the two walked hand in hand towards the Changshou Building!
Just then, the sound of high heels clicking against the ground began to echo as Nangong Yi, donned in a red dress, finally moved beside the co-driver鈥檚 seat of the McLaren.
Graceful and full of poise, she stepped forward, and the sweet sound of her voice, clear as a lily, slowly resonated in one鈥檚 ear!
鈥淢r.
Chu, Miss Yang, I鈥檝e caused offense previously and I, Nangong Yi, am willing to punish myself as an apology.
I hope you can forgive and forget鈥︹€
The woman in red was haughty, her voice detached as she walked without stopping.
But as she approached within five meters, in an instant, dozens to nearly a hundred black-clad bodyguards sprang into action.
Before the entrance of the Changshou Building, a storm was brewing.
