Rayna shook her head. “We are not sure whether the person Marcus mentioned is on Arnaud’s side. If that person isn’t aligned with Arnaud, Arnaud will definitely interfere with you knowing that you have not convinced Marcus. Keep an eye on Arnaud’s movements, and leave me in charge of dealing with Marcus.”

Jefferson said in distress, “I don’t want you to be so tired.”

“It’s okay. I’ve been doing this for so many days, so one night more won’t make a difference.” At the end of her reply, she beamed at him. Her radiant smile was alluring, instantly enchanting him.

There was nothing for him to be discontented about when he had such a gorgeous and brilliant lady by his side.

The car arrived at Atlantis Hotel at eight in the evening.

Atlantis Hotel was one of the few eight-star hotels in the world. The luxurious hotel hosted a lot of famous banquets and auctions. In fact, royalties even celebrated their birthdays here.

Rayna had stayed in a seven-star hotel before on a business trip, but it was her first time visiting an eight-star one. As soon as she got out of the car, she was shocked by the opulence of the hotel.

After following Jefferson into the elevator, she leaned closer to him and whispered, “I heard that this is a grand party, and almost all of the elites and politicians in the city are here. Is it true?”

He grunted an acknowledgment in response before saying, “At first, the party was hosted by royalty for entertainment purposes. Unexpectedly, some foreign businessmen view the party as an opportunity to gain fame and expand their businesses. Politicians also leaped at the chance to do networking. The royalty figured that this was a great chance for them to earn easy money and rope in foreign investment, so they decided to hold it every year. Since then, the number of guests has increased yearly, and the celebration has become increasingly grandiose.”

“Well, the royalty sure are very business-minded!” Rayna remarked. “If I were to spend one million to attend the party, I’d still be profiting from the networking opportunity even if I didn’t manage to negotiate a deal. I could call them when I’m free. No business person would miss a profitable business, right? If we couldn’t be business partners, I could still use them to expand my network further.”

“That’s a very astute analysis.” Jefferson nodded with a smile. “You make me want to entrust my business to you.”

Waving her hands as a sign of rejection, she muttered, “Please don’t! It was just the talk from a layman. Theory is very different from practice. Don’t think too highly of me.”

“It’s not that I think highly of you, but it’s that you are very smart and learn things quickly,” he said, his tone full of honesty. “I don’t mind suffering the loss of a few companies if you can learn something from it. I’d think it’s worth it.”

“We’re here.” As soon as the elevator doors were opened, Rayna strode out. “Let’s talk about this some other time.”

Jefferson’s eyes dimmed in disappointment at her forced interruption.
