After seeing that the audience was quite eager to try the dance floor, Jack looked at Celine and said, "Let's have a chat, mmh?"

Celine looked back at him as she shrugged her shoulders. "Not a problem at all. But, where did you train those moves? After all, I found that they are exactly the same as mine, though they are the masculine part of it."

"I've been training back at home. But, I stopped about five years ago. As to why the moves are the same, I'm not sure about that." Jack replied honestly.

"I see." She was just about to say another word when she noticed that they were still in the middle of the dancing floor. She threw Jack a gaze before leaving.

Jack followed her. He was quite curious about this girl. How could he just let her go without satisfying his curiosity?

The two walked out of the hall and took an elevator to the roof. "That's a good place to relax and enjoy the cool night breeze. It's summer after all." Celine explained.

Jack nodded as he noticed that his body was sweating slightly. But, the good thing was the fact that, his suit was made of cashmere material. So, it was breathable.

He could now understand why this suit was expensive. It was flexible, not a type that would lead to a person's movements being constrained.

At this time, Jack took the opportunity of the lights being on in the elevator to observe Celine. Currently, her black hair, that was previously tied into a ponytail and had been let free during the dance, was quite messily lying on her back.

Although it was messy, it didn't diminish her beauty at all. Instead, this added with her current stone expression, it gave her a certain type of charm.

She was wearing no make up on her face. As for the dress, she was wearing a yellow long sleeved ballroom waltz evening gown. The gown was a reserved one as it only showed part of her neckline.

The gown showed the upper body figure, from the petite waist upwards. As for the lower part of the gown, it was enlarged and had a black helm.

Celine noticed Jack's gaze on her. But, this gaze was unlike those gazes that always fell on her, the gazes full of lust, full of obsession, full of greed. This gaze, was filled with appreciation.

So, instead of feeling repulsive as usual, she welcomed such a gaze. After all, what was wrong if a person genuinely appreciated her beauty?

Jack didn't know about Celine's thoughts at the moment. After looking at her for a moment, he realized that he had been staring for a while. He knew that it was quite inappropriate to do so. Thus, he turned his gaze away.

A smile appeared at the corner of Celine's lips without even her noticing it. In her heart, she thought to herself, 'At least he's a gentleman.'

Ding!

With that sound, the elevator opened. After getting out of it, they could see that there was a helipad on top of this eight-storey building. The duo didn't have the intention of appreciating the helipad.

Celine switched off the lights of the roof. Jack stared at her before noticing the reason why she did that after looking at the sky.

They went and sat on one of the benches that was placed on the roof. Of course, these benches were connected to the roof, just in case the winds from a helicopter's propeller would have the intention of blowing them away.

After sitting, they remained silent as the moonlight shone upon them. Today, the sky was cloudless. Thus, although the lights on the roof had been switched off, there was still a hundred or so meters visibility due to the full moon in the sky.

After a moment of silence, Jack took the initiative to speak. "What's that background of yours that brings all the big wigs of the city here with your invitation? I can guess it's nothing small."

Celine smiled and replied, "Leave that aside. I have no intention of using my family's influence here in Inchoate City. So, I can only talk about myself, just a little of course."

Jack nodded. They were talking for the first time. So, it was obvious that she wouldn't tell him things that weren't important for him to know. They had to have reservations.

"Yeah, you're right. I came here this week, on Monday. Today's the last day of my first week here. I'm planning to start something here." Jack stated after a moment.

Celine stared at him with a surprised gaze. After all, she hadn't thought that Jack wasn't a resident of this city. After all, she had seen him with the young masters of this city. And from the way that they treated him, she could tell that they respected him.

From this, she could infer that he was from a good background. But, from the way that Jack carried himself, he didn't look like a prodigal young master. He looked independent, responsible and…. charming?

And, from his expression, she could tell that, he wasn't a person that smiled so often. But, today, she had experienced his smile. So, she was quite proud of herself, forgetting that she too, had revealed her most dazzling smile.

"What do you want to start in such a small city?" Celine asked curiously.

"I'm just trying to build my foundation. I know that I can't start this in a big city. After all, the competition there is quite high. But, at the end of it all, I'm sure that I'll expand to other big cities. As for what I'm starting, it's my enterprise."

Celine was quite surprised that Jack was starting an enterprise all by himself. Considering the fact that he was starting this in a small city, it was obvious that he was depending on himself and not his background.

"You're quite ambitious I see." She muttered.

"No man lacks an ambition. If there's one, then he's an incomplete one. Even if your ambition is not towards getting rich, succeeding in business and whatever, a man must have an ambition. Maybe, going to the moon, being the first person to live on another planet and so on." Jack replied calmly.

Celine smiled at his words. "Well, I wish you luck. On my part, I'm starting a small company in the fashion and textiles industry. But, this company is not mine. It belongs to a friend of mine that's currently abroad. She should be back in about two months."

"She had capital to start. But, if she had to come back and start things by herself, it would take a long time. So, she asked me to help her in starting one here in Inchoate City. In this way, when she's back, she can have something to do while at the same time, have a source of income." Celine said.

Jack could hear that, in her tone, there was some kind of yearning. Jack was wondering, what was she yearning for? Going abroad? Starting a company of her own? Being independent? Although he was curious, he didn't ask about that.

"Well, starting a company surely needs dedication, capital and decisiveness." Jack stated. Even he, had it not been for the fact that he had the system, he surely wouldn't have dreamt of starting an enterprise at this moment.

He would have struggled to gain both connections and capital before trying that. After all, an enterprise would surely not lack competition. He, who was targeted by his half siblings as well as facing some veterans in the business sector, he would surely fall.

"So, that was the reason you were in the government building?" Celine asked curiously.

"Well, that can be considered as a reason. But, I was mainly there to acquire a few stores." Jack replied.

Celine chuckled when she heard this. She then asked, "You want to start an enterprise that's made of stores?"

"You can say that. In fact, they're grocery stores. But of course, if I'm starting an enterprise, I would do my best. So, the first thing that I'm starting with, is the grocery department. It will be in the form of chain stores. But, their level would be higher than normal." Jack stated.

"Oh I see. When are you starting?" Celine nodded before asking.

"The grocery department will be opened tomorrow." Jack stated.

"That fast?" Celine was surprised. After all, Jack had only been here for a week. But, he'd already established a department. One had to know that, a department of an enterprise couldn't have a weak foundation.

After all, if it was a weakness, there would surely be people that would exploit it to make sure that the enterprise falls.

"You can come and observe tomorrow. I'm not good when it comes to business. But, I hope that with you present, maybe you can give me some pointers." Jack said as he looked at the moon.

He was wondering if the income that came from the grocery store through the enterprise would have a monthly, season, semiannually or annual multiplication.

"Is that an invitation?" Celine asked with raised brows.

"You can say so." Jack replied as he turned his gaze from the moon back towards her.

"Then, where's my invitation card?" She asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jack was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought of how a banquet had been held today, to welcome a company to Inchoate City.

He had not made such an arrangement at all. So, on this question, Jack could only scratch the back of his head while responding. "Well, I never prepared anything like that. I wasn't going to make a grand entrance into the industry."

"Are you serious? You know, when you invite some people from the upper echelons of the city during the opening, they would surely boost the popularity and reputation of your company." Celine said seriously.

"Well, it's not like I'm starting something big, right? They're just grocery stores." Jack replied.

"How much capital have you invested in the grocery department?" Celine asked.
