Just look at the massive backdrop of the Gangzhe Group, towering several meters higher than that of the Peak Group, clearly overshadowing the Peak Group.
Originally, the promotional board of the Peak Group looked quite grand, but in comparison to the Gangzhe Group's, it immediately appeared inferior.
San and the others' expressions changed upon seeing this. Just from this aura alone, their side had already been suppressed.
At this moment, Wang Yan and Ma Jun had already arrived nearby, and San and the others immediately looked at Wang Yan, showing a look of guilt on their faces.
Wang Yan only glanced, taking in the entire situation at the scene, especially after seeing the four words Gangzhe Group, immediately understanding what was going on.
Wang Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking to himself: I haven't even sought you out, yet you came to provoke me first, that's even better, saving me the trouble.
At the moment, Wang Yan remained calm, simply smiling faintly.
Since Wang Yan appeared, Zhao Xinyao had been observing him. Seeing Wang Yan so young, she held even greater contempt in her heart.
However, seeing Wang Yan showing not the slightest sign of anger, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, thinking: Although Wang Yan is young, he hides his emotions well, indeed incomparable to the profligate son Li Zhe.
Still, although Zhao Xinyao was slightly surprised, she didn't take Wang Yan to heart, for her subsequent plans were even sharper.
Zhao Xinyao was confident that even if Wang Yan kept his cool, she would certainly make him fly into a rage.
At this moment, a Bentley drove over and stopped in front of Wang Yan.
Upon seeing this Bentley, San joyfully said, "Sun Da has arrived."
Sure enough, as the car door opened, Sun Da, white-haired with age, stepped out of the car, approached Wang Yan, and said cheerfully, "Master, Vice President Zeng Deyi has already agreed to come, and last night, I heard that many prominent figures are also coming to show support. Some of those coming are really beyond my expectation."
Upon hearing this, San happily said, "Sir Sun, it seems you still have great influence."
Sun Da shook his head, saying, "Not at all, these people wouldn't have come if it weren't for luck on your part; unexpectedly, they agreed."
Zhao Xinyao, hearing the conversation among the crowd, was secretly triumphant, thinking to herself: What luck, when those people arrive, you'll understand the reason; haha, by then, you'll be the ones crying.
At this moment, a luxury car drove over.
Sun Da joyfully said, "This is Vice President Zeng Deyi's car, Master, let's go greet him."
Wang Yan nodded and went to the car with Sun Da.
The luxury car stopped, and a dignified middle-aged man stepped out of the car.
Sun Da hurriedly went over with a smiling face, saying, "Vice President Zeng, you've worked hard, this is the CEO of Peak Group, Mr. Wang Yan."
After speaking, Sun Da hurriedly introduced Wang Yan to Zeng Deyi.
Seeing Wang Yan so young, Zeng Deyi was taken aback, but out of respect for Sun Da, he didn't say much more; he reluctantly shook hands with Wang Yan and asked, "When does the ribbon-cutting ceremony start? Who else is invited?"
Sun Da was momentarily stunned, let out a dry laugh, looked around, and said, "Only you are invited."
Zeng Deyi was again taken aback and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. A ribbon-cutting ceremony reflects a corporation's connections, and only inviting him showed that the Peak Group was indeed lacking in connections.
Zeng Deyi somewhat regretted agreeing to Sun Da to come and immediately urged, "Let's start quickly then."
Sun Da and the others noticed Zeng Deyi's displeasure and dared not anger him further, quickly looking towards Wang Yan.
Wang Yan nodded and said, "The ancient saying goes: 'With sincerity, people are at peace; with laws, the populace is at peace.' As we sincerely operate, why worry about no friends? Even if friendships span the world, we'll remember Vice President Zeng as our Peak Group's first friend."
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Zeng Deyi couldn't help but turn his head towards Wang Yan, feeling waves of shock inside.
Zeng Deyi thought in surprise: This Wang Yan seems young, but he is well-versed and speaks with great precision. He seems not to be a person of ordinary caliber, and my decision to come today might not be a mistake after all.
What Wang Yan said seemed plain, but every sentence was a gem, not only revealing his grand ambitions but also subtly praising Zeng Deyi for his assistance at the startup of Peak Group, hinting at his deep sense of gratitude that he would never forget.
Zeng Deyi, as a Vice President of the Commerce Association, has encountered countless people in his lifetime, but in similar situations, there would be hardly a handful who could speak as elegantly as Wang Yan.
At once, Zeng Deyi put on a smiling face and said to Wang Yan, "CEO Wang Yan, indeed you are young and promising. I, Zeng, will also not forget the friendship forged with young friend Wang Yan despite the age difference."
Upon seeing Zeng Deyi smiling, Sun Da and the others immediately became happy; receiving praise from Zeng Deyi was indeed the greatest affirmation for Wang Yan.
Everyone was full of joy, ready to head to the stage to proceed with today's ribbon-cutting ceremony. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt
At this moment, another luxury car drove up from a distance and stopped in front of the crowd, from which a middle-aged man in a suit stepped out.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Sun Da joyfully said, "It's Leng Xiaojie, Chairman of the Wanghai City Commerce Association. He initially said he wouldn't come, but unexpectedly, he showed us this much respect."
After speaking, Sun Da went up to him and said with a smile, "Chairman Leng, I didn't expect you to grace us with your presence, thank you so much."
Upon seeing his superior, Zeng Deyi also immediately went to greet him with a smile, "Chairman Leng, I didn't expect you would attend the Peak Group's grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony?"
Chairman of the Wanghai City Commerce Association, Leng Xiaojie, coldly glanced at Sun Da and said dismissively, "What Peak Group, I've never heard of it."
Then, Leng Xiaojie said to Zeng Deyi, "Vice President Zeng, as the Vice President of our Wanghai City Commerce Association, if you are going to attend a ceremony next time, at least find a more decent corporation, unlike something like Peak Group, you can't afford to lose face ."
Leng Xiaojie's words turned Zeng Deyi and Sun Da red with embarrassment, leaving them momentarily stunned.
At this moment, Leng Xiaojie caught sight of Zhao Xinyao beside him, quickly changing his cold demeanor to a smiling one, saying, "Vice President Zhao, I hope I'm not late?"
Zhao Xinyao said, "Not at all, you're the first to arrive."
Leng Xiaojie asked, "Who else is coming?"
Zhao Xinyao said, "There are too many participants, such as Chairman Jia of the Maritime Transport Association, Chairman Mei of the Land Transport Association, Chairman Wu of the Medicine Supervision Committee..."
Zhao Xinyao continued listing one name after another, and Leng Xiaojie nodded repeatedly in astonishment, saying, "The Gangzhe Group indeed has wide connections to invite so many people."
Zhao Xinyao smiled slightly, provocatively glancing at Wang Yan, saying, "The people we invite are prominent figures, unlike some small businesses, who can only invite one vice president."
