He was upset, but there was nothing he could do. They weren't there, and even if they had a chance to go, they couldn't attend the exclusive Victoria's Secret party like Mavi.
Thirty minutes later, the Victoria's Secret female manager led Mavi into the decorated ballroom. He saw that the models had already changed into their evening gowns and were laughing and chatting, enjoying the music, wine, food, and relaxed atmosphere.
Each model's gown had its own unique style. Some had a low-cut back, while others were deep V-neck sheath dresses. The scene was a beautiful and dazzling spectacle.
"Mr. Mavi, I hope you have a wonderful evening," the manager said with a smile, then picked up two glasses of red wine from a waiter's tray and handed one to Mavi.
"Cheers." They clinked glasses and drank in one gulp.
Work is work, and relaxation is relaxation. It was clear that foreigners were excellent at separating the two.
"Girls, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Mavi, the chairman of the Ma V Group. The three jewelry lingerie sets you saw in the show were made by him," the manager said after finishing her drink, introducing him to the models.
They didn't really need a formal introduction. The models already knew through various channels that the man in the best seat at the show was the famous chairman of the Ma V Group. He was young, accomplished, worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and was even more of a catch than a regular billionaire bachelor.
"Hello, Mr. Mavi, it's so nice to meet you!" A Victoria's Secret model wearing a black, low-cut evening gown stepped forward with a beautiful smile to greet Mavi. It was an honor for any woman to meet a man like him.
"Mr. Mavi, you're so young and handsome," they said. As soon as Mavi appeared, the group of models gigglingly gathered around him. Each of these stunning beauties was a star in her own right, capable of captivating countless people.
With so many of them crowded around Mavi, he truly felt like he was at the peak of his life. No matter which way he looked, all he saw were the models' beautiful faces and their elegant, captivating figures.
"Ahem, thank you all for your hard work on the Chinese Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Please relax and have a good time tonight!" With so many beauties surrounding him, Mavi could only manage a few casual words.
As he spoke, almost every single one of the women looked at him with a mix of admiration and adoration. The feeling of being so intently watched and admired by so many beauties made him a little dizzy. It was understandable, after all. A man who was rich, handsome, and fit, and also young and accomplished, who had built a legendary business empire, was an extremely rare combination. As long as a woman's sexual orientation was not an issue, there was very little chance of her not liking him.
After Mavi spoke, the women in the room cheered and even immediately drank to his words, as if they planned to drink all night long.
"Mr. Mavi, I have a lot of questions for you! I was wondering if you would be willing to answer them?" A young model with long, flowing hair and a pink evening dress asked curiously. She had shiny, black hair and was of Asian descent with a stunning face.
"No problem, go ahead," Mavi replied. Although he was a prominent figure, he wouldn't be rude or disrespectful to anyone. He would always maintain his manners and composure.
"Could you tell us how you did it all? I'm so curious!" The question she asked was what many of her colleagues wanted to know. How had Mavi accomplished such amazing feats with companies like Google, V-tube, Marvel, and now the Google phone? Most successful people only excelled in one or two fields, but Mavi seemed to be an all-around genius. It was as if there was nothing in the world he couldn't do.
"That's a long story. I remember when I first started, I only had about a few dozen dollars in my pocket. My monthly salary was less than $400. After paying for rent, utilities, and daily expenses, I could only save about $80 a month. After a year of that, I saved almost $1,000."
"Then... I took the $375 million my parents left me, invested it, and grew it to what it is today," Mavi recalled. What he said was true. However, one part of the story happened before his rebirth, and the other happened after. He couldn't reveal the details of his rebirth, so he told the story in a slightly different way.
As soon as he finished speaking, the models standing in front of him were completely frozen and stunned.
"He saved $1,000 in a year, then used the $375 million his parents left him to invest... This..." Almost all the women standing around Mavi were confused by what he said.
They had expected a deeply inspiring story about a protagonist who started with only a few dozen dollars and grew his wealth to hundreds of billions. It was a story so amazing it could be turned into a movie. But they never expected Mavi's story to take such a hilarious turn at the end.
"Haha! Mr. Mavi, you're so funny. I think I understand what you're saying. You're being sarcastic about reality, right?" two Victoria's Secret models, holding glasses of red wine, giggled and asked. When a person reaches a certain level, many people will try to please them, even if they're just spouting nonsense.
Mavi simply gave a noncommittal expression. He had been surrounded by the women for over ten minutes now, and they still showed no signs of leaving. He just wanted to find a place to sit and have a drink.
Just then, a gorgeous American model with a curvy figure and blonde hair came up to him and quietly asked, "Mr. Mavi, I'd like to ask you something. After the party ends, would you like to join us for another celebration?"
The Victoria's Secret model asked him with a bold and lighthearted smile. After she spoke, a knowing smile appeared on her face.
"Another party?" Mavi looked at the blonde model in front of him. Compared to the other women, she had a certain charm and allure about her. It was clear she wasn't a "good girl."
