《Female Immortal's Return to Earth》0003 - The Long Heir
Advertisement
When the clock turns 18:30 all guest has all arrived at the venue. Only the hosts were the ones left. People were left chatting while waiting. Yun Feng, on the other hand, didn't try to make any conversation with anyone yet. She only stood in the corner of the hall identifying each guest one by one.
Suddenly the room turned quiet as a man looking about 50 years old with partly grey hair enters the hall. One could identify on his appearance that he used to be a really stunning man when he was younger. Beside him, while holding his arm is a beautiful 40 years old looking woman. He walks, together with the woman, down the stairs with a straight back, proudly looking over the guests.
Behind him is a tall about 20-year-old man, the young man shows an expressionless face. But even though it was expressionless it was stunning. One could really see that the young man and the older man and woman is family. The young man had mostly inherited the older man's features but he had the woman's eyes.
"Look it's Long Xiaogun and his family."
"Ah Long Jin is as stunning as always, his cold expressionless face really attracts me."
"Madam Long is beautiful as always, well worthy to be the wife of CEO Long."
"Look at how proud CEO Long looks, there maybe be more to this party than the successful deal with the military."
Quiet whispers rose in the hall as they reached the end of the stairs. The guests opened up a pathway as Long Xiaogun walked towards the platform at the end of the hall. He took the microphone off the stand and began with welcoming everyone and introducing himself.
"Welcome fellow businessmen and military men to this celebratory party. I am Long Xiaogun, the CEO of Long Corporation.

Long Corporation has existed for over 50 years and began as a small company in the food business. It was started in my father's time and has finally reached the place it has today. With the exclusive contract of selling the military food supplies in the times need it will surely rise even more and spread out even further in the future. Our aim is the same as anyone else, the international market.
We want to properly spread real Chinese cuisine all over the world and let our products be the talk of every town. It might sound like a big foolish dream, but in my own opinion this dream isn't at all impossible to fulfill."
A waiter came forward with a glass of water which Long Xiaogun took and drank off to moisten his throat a bit before he continued. He looked at his son and began introducing him.
"As many of you already know, this is my son Long Jin. He went the Major Business program at Y Business University, the best university in country Y for business management. Jin'er managed to graduate the university already now at the age of 22, two years early since one usually attends for 5 years but he only used 3.
Now I want to happily and proudly announce that my Jin'er is now planning to start his own! It will later be joined with the Corporation but it will be a great learning experience for him. Now I'll let Jin'er tell you the details."
Long Jin walks up to the platform after his father had stepped down and glances over the hall. His emotionless eyes stay on Yun Feng for a second or two before continuing on. Yun Feng noticed him looking at her for a bit but didn't take it to heart.

"I have yet as of this date decided what type of company I want to start but I'm going to continue in the line of food and beverage. I will start from the beginning with only a sum of 100 000 American dollars. This sum will separate into buying a factory, materials, machines, and salary for the workers. Please feel free to suggest what type of company I should start. If it is a good idea then I will use it and we will become partners with me doing most of the managing and you coming up with ideas."
When Yun Feng hears what he says she opens her eyes wide in her mind. To think there are such coincidences in the world! This is exactly what she needed!
"I will sit by that table over there, please feel free to line up and give your ideas while the party is ongoing. Now then, the party begins!"
The musicians begin to play some classic ball music while Long Jin walks to a table right by the stairs. While some of the guests partner up and dance many of the guests begins to line up to give their ideas. Yun Feng doesn't feel like there is a need to hurry so she ended up as the third person to last in the line. With her cultivation, her hearing was excellent so she could listen to the others ideas even from a distance.
"Mr. Long, I really admire your bearing. My idea is to start a company making packed lunch boxes. Every bite should be luxurious but still, be made of cheaper lower quality ingredients. The aim is low cost but high price. I have some great recipes on my hand that we can use."
Long Jin gives the young woman who was first to give an idea a small nod after writing it down on a paper prepared beforehand and giving it to the nearest waiter.
"Next."
