From Trash to Tycoon: The Shenhao Rise

Location: Private Skyline Restaurant, Lin Group Tower – Singapore

The entire top floor of the Lin Group Tower was shut down for one man.

Bai Chen.

A rotating view of the city lights surrounded the penthouse restaurant. Every table was empty—except one, near the glass edge, where Lin Yuwei sat in a shimmering black satin dress.

No bodyguards. No board members. No father.

Just her.

8:00 PM – Opening Moves

Yuwei didn't smile, but her tone was softer than usual.

"You embarrassed Obsidian in front of my father. That bought you this meeting."

Bai Chen leaned back, confident.

"I didn't come to buy favor. I came to build something bigger."

She raised an eyebrow. "I hope your ambition matches your appetite."

A butler poured wine. Dishes arrived: bluefin sashimi, wagyu steak, and iced lychee mousse.

But this wasn't a dinner.

It was a deal disguised as a date.

Mid-Conversation

Lin Yuwei tapped her finger on the crystal table.

"I'm offering you a partnership. 30% of Lin Group's East-Asia Fintech channels… if NovaVerse integrates our biometric blockchain engine."

Bai Chen didn't answer right away.

Instead, he looked her dead in the eye.

"You want a partner who obeys orders, or one who turns empires into legends?"

Silence.

Then, the faintest smile.

After Dinner – Rooftop Scene

They walked together, wind brushing past them as neon lights reflected off the glass.

"You handled my father well," she said.

"Most men break under his silence."

"I'm not most men," Bai Chen replied. "You're not most women either."

She glanced at him, eyes unreadable.

Then she asked quietly:

"Do you think power is lonely?"

He stepped closer, speaking low:

"Only if you have no one worthy beside you."

A long pause.

Then—she reached for his collar, pulled him in, and kissed him.

Cool lips. Soft breath. Silent surrender.

Not passion.

Respect. Desire. Alliance.

Final Scene – Lin Yuwei's Whisper

Before Bai Chen left, she placed a black access card in his hand.

"This gives you full access to LinTech's shadow server in Dubai. But be careful…"

"Why?"

"Because the people in that market… kill for fun and profit."

He smirked, slipping the card into his jacket.

"Let them try."
