Chapter 191 - 192: Reunion (4)
The atmosphere suddenly changed; Qin Weijian, who had his microphone taken away, naturally didn’t expect Qin Zhiyou to appear so suddenly. After the surprise had passed, his face quickly became rather unpleasant — this was essentially akin to a public slap in the face. However, with so many people watching, he felt it inappropriate to settle scores with him at that moment.
With Qin Zhiyou present, Qin Weijia immediately came out to defend her brother, saying, “Zhiyou, you’re late.”
Qin Zhiyou didn’t bother to pay attention to her and said in a clear voice, “On behalf of the entire Hanhai Group, I welcome everyone’s arrival.” He continued straightforwardly, “This year, Hanhai Group has established eleven major and sixty-three minor projects, involving contracts worth hundreds of billions. I welcome everyone to cooperate with us and make money together.”
As soon as he said this, applause erupted from the audience. The family dispute earlier was merely interesting for those below; this statement, on the other hand, appealed directly to the other guests’ interests. They would support whoever could establish a win-win cooperation with them.
As Qin Zhiyou grabbed the spotlight, Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia naturally became angry. Qin Zhiyou, however, didn’t even glance at them.
When it came time to cut the cake, he stood at the forefront alone, with Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia only able to stand beside him, like eunuchs and palace ladies next to the emperor.
His tardiness just now was mostly to irk his uncle and aunt and deflate their arrogance. Predictably, without him, the siblings of the second and third family branches would fight among themselves. If he had known this would happen, he would have prepared two microphones to watch the harmonious ‘play’ between the siblings.
Upon seeing Qin Zhiyou’s successful arrival, Lu Weixi felt a weight lifted off her chest; now, she could go find Boss Liao without worry.
While the lights still hadn’t brightened, she made her way over and noticed an extra young man at Liao’s table. His back was turned to her; he had short hair and wore casual clothes. Although she couldn’t discern much from his back, she had a familiar feeling about him – the kind of familiarity that set one’s heart racing.
Just as she was wondering about this, the cake from Hanhai was cut and the champagne of the crystal champagne tower was poured. Slices of cake and glasses of champagne were being distributed by waiters to every table. The banquet began introducing the visiting guests, however, only the business tycoons in the first two rows were named.
As each guest was introduced, Qin Zhiyou, as the host, would personally offer a toast at each table. Wherever he went, the spotlight followed, making him particularly noticeable in the dimly lit venue.
Lu Weixi originally wanted to retreat, but many spectators behind her were squeezing forward. After all, some people had spent two hundred thousand for tickets to expand their network – no one would back off.
Soon it was the second row’s turn, and Qin Zhiyou slowly made his way over with a glass of champagne. When it was Liao’s table’s turn, the host on the stage also introduced the guests, “Next up is Mr. Liao Siyi, the chairman of the Siyi company, and the internationally renowned architect, Simon White.”
The moment the spotlight hit them, it caused a stir!
Lu Weixi stood behind and watched as the casually dressed young man in front of her slowly stood up. The intense light traced his silhouette. Although she couldn’t see his face, he seemed taller than before, his body seemingly more built, with shorter hair. But she just knew, the man stood before her, Simon White, was Qin Zhisu!
