The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd!

226 Becoming the Leader

“Mr. Zhou’s future development is limitless.” The curve on both sides of Charlie’s lips deepened. “Carter has already told me everything Mr. Zhou and Miss Shan have done. The two of you have such ability at such a young age. I can rest assured that I’ll hand that project to the two of you. However, I still have to apologize to the three of you on behalf of my eldest son.”

“Master Charlie, you’re being too serious. We’re not blaming Mr. Victor. He’s just thinking for the Smith family. He just chose the wrong method.” Zhou Xuan’s words were very serious. He would not offend anyone in front of Charlie. “Mr. Victor’s intention is still good. I hope you won’t blame him.”

“I’m still sorry. It’s everyone’s first time in Las Vegas and you’ve already experienced such a thing. Anyone would definitely feel uncomfortable.”

Zhou Xuan pursed his lips and said indifferently, “It’s a blessing in disguise. It’s also because of this that I can see the ability and determination of Mr. Carter and Master Charlie to cooperate. In the future, the Zhou Corporation will definitely cooperate with the Smith family in more projects. Both sides will benefit and develop together.”

Charlie’s thick lips curled even deeper. “I’m relieved to hear that, Mr. Zhou. Peter told me that according to the schedule, the three of you will be returning to the central city of the Federation tomorrow. Please have fun today.”

With that, Charlie led everyone out of the room. As the guests gradually arrived, Victor, whose face was still scarred, arrived. Charlie solemnly introduced Zhou Xuan and the other two to the guests present, then brought Carter to the front of the stage.

“I declare,” Charlie raised the microphone, his voice impassioned. “My second son, Carter, will be the next head of the Smith family.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the room led by Carter immediately applauded warmly. However, when some were happy, some would definitely be sad. Although Victor’s faction was extremely unwilling to celebrate, they were afraid that Master Charlie would cause trouble for them if he saw it, so they chose to clap a few times symbolically.

When the banquet began, Zhou Xuan and Shan Yue slowly relaxed. After three rounds of wine, Zhou Xuan found Shan Yue with a swaying wine glass in one hand.

“Time sure flies.” Zhou Xuan was slightly drunk, and even his words were not as cold as before. “In the blink of an eye, this Las Vegas trip is about to end.”

Shan Yue could tell at a glance that Zhou Xuan was pretending. She guessed that he was trying to test her again and smiled helplessly. “If Mr. Zhou hasn’t stayed enough, you can choose not to go back first.”

Hearing Shan Yue’s answer, Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment and did not know how to reply. Then, he shook the wine glass in his hand. “Although good wine is good, you can’t be greedy. The journey is like sweet red wine. The process is very beautiful, but you can’t live on the journey forever. That way, you’ll only be immersed in it.”

“Mr. Zhou speaks with self-restraint.” Shan Yue’s eyebrows were like a painting, and she looked very gentle. “As expected of a role model for the young people in Federal City.”

“Miss Shan, you’re wrong.” Zhou Xuan’s every word was slightly offensive and tactful. “What you taught me is that everyone will change. I wonder what kind of surprise Miss Shan will bring me when I return to the country?”

A smile appeared on Shan Yue’s cheeks and she raised her eyebrows. “It’s not a surprise, but there’s no harm in telling Mr. Zhou. It’s time to change the situation where the three major corporations of Federal City have always been side by side.”

Zhou Xuan had long known this news. From the moment Shan Yue wanted the land from the Dong Corporation, Zhou Xuan understood that the situation in the future would change drastically.

“I’m afraid Miss Shan’s ambitions are far greater than that.” Zhou Xuan stopped pretending. His eyes turned cold, emitting a chill. “There’s still a long way to go to reach the situation you want.”

“Of course I know. Don’t I still have Mr. Zhou?” Shan Yue casually chose a glass of red wine and took a sip. “I’ve helped Mr. Zhou so much. Mr. Zhou won’t ignore me, right?”
