CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 385: AMONG THEM, MORE THAN HALF ARE AFRAID OF ME

Peace Hotel.

This city’s renowned luxury venue has specially prepared an exceptionally large conference room for this highly anticipated auction.

After meticulous renovation.

Originally just a regular conference room, it has now transformed into a venue filled with luxury and solemnity for the auction.

The lighting is soft yet bright, casting perfectly across the entire space, complementing the meticulously arranged decor around, revealing the care of the organizers everywhere.

Holding onto Xiao Fei’s strong and powerful arm, Yuxin stepped elegantly on exquisite high heels, her posture graceful yet unable to hide her curiosity, following Xiao Fei’s pace, slowly walked into the mysterious and alluring conference room.

"Mr. Xiao, please..."

"Boss, please..."

As the heavy doors of the conference room slowly opened, the various moguls who were already seated turned their heads in unison.

The expressions on their faces varied, some with confusion, others showing surprise, while some carried a hint of inquiry.

When they saw that it was Xie Qiang, the CEO of Shengshi Entertainment, known for his arrogance, these well-informed moguls all uttered a soft "Huh?" collectively, starting to think about who it could be that warrants such respect from Xie Qiang.

But soon, those who are extremely shrewd, having been through the ups and downs of the business world for years, with keen insight, quickly came to their senses.

Xiao Fei!

Mr. Xiao!

The rumored true owner behind Shengshi Entertainment!

The legendary figure in the business world.

Moreover, various circulated news indicated that Mr. Xiao’s business empire is far beyond just Shengshi Entertainment.

He is the largest shareholder in JPMorgan Asia Pacific, wielding enormous financial resources, holding significant standing in international finance;

He is one of the twelve directors of Walt Disney, involved in the decision-making of the global entertainment giant;

He holds 22% equity in BYD, having a profound influence in the new energy vehicle sector;

Wansheng Group, the country’s top-tier catering group, is also among his businesses, commanding authority in the culinary world;

Even more astonishing is that he surprisingly holds a share in the renowned tech entity Spacey.

Such a leading figure in the domestic business sphere, even holding a place on the international business stage, has always kept such a low profile it’s hard to believe.

Unlike Boss Ma of Ali, who frequently delivers speeches, captivating audiences, although those speeches are now quite controversial.

He’s even more low-key than Boss Ma of Tencent!

For years, amidst various business banquets, top-tier summits, and other significant social events for business individuals, this mysterious Mr. Xiao has never attended, leaving countless wanting to interact with or witness him disappointed frequently.

No one expected to see this mysterious Mr. Xiao at today’s auction!

"It’s really him..."

A hint of intrigue flashed in Boss Ma of Ali’s eyes.

That gaze held both surprise and a touch of probing at this enigmatic figure.

Not far from him sat Boss Ma of Tencent.

The two were seated in the most prominent positions in the front row, symbols of identity and status.

Yet, there was an empty seat between them.

Initially, they racked their brains trying to figure out whom this seat was reserved for.

After pondering for a long time, both Boss Ma and Boss Ma could only shake their heads in resignation, unable to guess the seat’s occupant.

Now, seeing Xiao Fei led respectfully by Xie Qiang into the room, both experienced and astute Boss Ma instantly realized.

Surely, only that person is qualified to sit in that seat, right?

With Xie Qiang’s guidance, Xiao Fei entered calmly, as if the eyes of those moguls around him had no impact.

He ignored the gaze of everyone in the conference room.

But beside him, Yuxin was feeling unsettled.

Several people here she could only see on television or news online before.

Especially those like the Boss Ma duo in the front row.

These were all super moguls with enormous influence in the business world, capable of chatting and laughing with presidents or prime ministers of various countries!

Yuxin felt her steps becoming stiff, and the confident smile on her face began to falter.

Her heart was filled with unease, with various thoughts flashing across her mind: What should I do, what should I do... Have I embarrassed my husband... Will they laugh at me... Wishing I hadn’t come to such a place...

"Don’t be afraid."

Suddenly, Xiao Fei’s familiar and warm voice sounded beside Yuxin’s ear.

Yuxin instinctively looked up and saw Xiao Fei’s eyes full of tenderness and adoration.

Those eyes, like deep lakes, instantly brought her a sense of calm.

For some reason, seeing Xiao Fei’s eyes made half of Yuxin’s panic dissipate.

Yes, with her husband by her side, there was nothing to fear.

No matter whom she’s facing, no matter what happens.

As long as her husband is there, there won’t be any issue.

She would be well protected, and so would their babies.

"Half of them fear me."

Xiao Fei continued softly.

The voice was only audible to Yuxin, with a low and magnetic sound almost magical, easing Yuxin’s heart further.

"A small portion will fear and also want to curry favor with me."

"Only a few at the end won’t fear or curry favor, but must show immense respect to me."

Xiao Fei’s tone was very flat, as if narrating something as ordinary as could be.

Yet from that flat tone, emerged a boundless charisma Yuxin had never seen before.

She blinked in confusion, her heart surging with complex emotions.

Husband...

Was he really such a person?

This time, the gentle husband at home, wearing an apron, always meticulously thinking of what dishes to please her and their babies, started merging in her mind with the commanding, peerless man in the business world.

Is this...

Really the same person?

Stirring waves arose within Yuxin’s heart.

She began to reassess the man beside her, with her feelings for him deepening and growing more complex.

She suddenly realized that her understanding of her husband might still be far from enough, but no matter what, she was willing to stay by his side and face the future together.

At this moment, the auction was about to begin.

The atmosphere on-site gradually became tense and exciting.

Yuxin took a deep breath, striving to calm herself.

She knew that with Xiao Fei by her side, she would surely face everything with composure.

And Xiao Fei gently tightened his grip on her hand, conveying silent encouragement.
