Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 4)

Chapter 699 - Dinner Party

Nie Yan and his parents chatted for a while. They asked him about how well he was doing and his life in the Top Military Academy. After knowing everything was well, they could put their minds at ease. Mother Nie still had to sort out some financial matters. So, she headed back downstairs. Right now the only people left in the office were Nie Yan and his father.

Father Nie looked at Nie Yan, seemingly hesitating to say something.

Seeing his father's expression, Nie Yan immediately knew what he wanted to talk about.

Father Nie eventually seemed to make up his mind and broke the silence. "The company performance has grown by 50% in the second quarter. We're also making a lot of headway in expanding our businesses. Several big names in the industry such as East Stone and Sonic have sought us out for partnerships. Large companies like these, with their resources and influence, they would normally never put upstarts like us in their eyes. I was suspicious and wary at first, but so far we've been benefiting immensely."

Nie Yan immediately thought of those several people in Heavenly Kings. Sure enough, Mo Yuntian's words held a lot of weight. World Bloc was gaining more and more cooperative partners. With this, if they faced a crisis in the future, they wouldn't be so easily crushed like in the previous timeline.

"Did Heavenly Kings contact you recently?" Father Nie asked. From his perspective, Nie Yan being accepted as an external member would already be a wonderful thing.

Nie Yan's heart trembled. His father somehow knew. He nodded. "I was invited to join Heavenly Kings by a person called Lei Su..."

"Lei Su? It's him!" Father Nie couldn't help but get worked up. He shot up from his desk with an excited expression. "Did you agree? Did you!?"

Nie Yan nodded. "I've already joined Heavenly Kings."

"A-as a core member?" Father Nie asked, not daring to wish for too much.

Father Nie was a fairly solemn person. It wasn't often he lost his composure like this.

"What, are you saying your son is only capable of becoming an external member?" Nie Yan joked.

"You stinky brat! Is that how you talk to your old man? Such a big piece of news, and you only tell me about it now! Looks like someone's grown too big for their britches." Father Nie clonked Nie Yan on the head. However, his expression was full of smiles. World Bloc was nothing in the grand scheme of things. Nie Yan had relied completely on his own strength to enter Heavenly Kings. Thinking to this point, he couldn't help but feel extremely proud of his son. Being a member of Heavenly Kings was an enormous honour to common folk.

Nie Yan chuckled. This was his first time speaking to his father in such a tone. Ever since he was a kid, he always held his father in great reverence. But after returning to the past, he gradually realized that although he put up a strict appearance, neither laughing nor smiling, he was actually a kind and gentle person deep inside.

Nie Yan still hadn't informed Father Nie that Mo Yuntian had requested everyone in Heavenly Kings to look after and support World Bloc. He didn't want to show off with this matter. Heavenly King's influence on World Bloc would grow more apparent by the day, until the day would come where World Bloc grew powerful enough to surpass even Cao Xu's Century Financial Group!

"There's a dinner party tonight. Come along with me," Father Nie said.

"What dinner party?"

"It's being hosted by the high rank government officials in Huahai. All those attending are big shots in the city's political and business circles. Before these recent developments, World Bloc wasn't qualified to take part. But now, they've taken the initiative to invite us," Father Nie explained in high spirits. He could sense that the other powers slowly started acknowledging World Bloc.
