Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Here they come, here they come, it’s the Shanghai A license plate!”
“Damn, isn’t that the ride of Zhang Liang, the boss of Modu Green Emperor? Could it be that Zhang Liang is here in person too?” exclaimed a local Modu journalist in disbelief.
“Why are there two cars together? Could they be executives from the Green Emperor Group?”
“Bro, could you stop bumping into me? I almost had a reaction from all your bumping. I thought you had a long dick, but it turns out you have a short one, outrageous!” The man glanced back with a hint of shyness.
Seeing this scene, the media reporters all stepped aside a few steps, wanting to distance themselves from this gay.
“Here they come, here they come, it’s Wang Jianlin and Si Cong from Yida! Lao Wang is even chatting and laughing with Zhang Liang. Could it be that Yida and Green Emperor have reached a cooperation? Is the person next to Zhang Liang Zhang Wenxuan, who has never appeared in public before?”
Unfortunately, no one answered his question. Everyone was busy taking pictures with their cameras, and the flashes didn’t stop.
“Welcome, welcome, Director Wang, Director Zhang, hello!” Ling Chen greeted Wang Jianlin and Zhang Liang, who had finished signing, with a smile.
The three of them shook hands amicably, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the venue. Si Cong looked at the three of them with a sneer, standing at the door of the venue, waiting for Zhou Chao. After all, there was no one to chat with him inside.
“Why are you standing here?” Zhang Wenxuan was about to walk in when he saw Si Cong stop.
“We’re waiting for someone. Young Master Zhou and Qin Fen haven’t arrived yet. Can you interrupt those old guys’ speeches when you go in?”
“You make a good point. I can’t find a reason to refute that.”
After waiting for less than two minutes, Si Cong saw a familiar figure approaching from the direction of the red carpet.
“Si Cong, Young Master Zhang, why are you two standing here? Why not go inside?” The newcomer was Brother Hu, the appointed spokesperson for the foundation by Zhou Chao.
“Because Young Master Zhou hasn’t arrived yet, so we’re just waiting here.”
Upon hearing this, Brother Hu also stopped in his tracks, and the three of them stood at the entrance chatting and laughing.
“What’s going on at the entrance of the venue? Si Cong, Zhang Wenxuan, and Brother Hu are all standing there. Why aren’t they going in? Are they waiting for someone?”
“Could it be that another young big shot is going to show up?”
“I’m getting more and more excited now. I thought it was just a photo shoot and a long walk, but it turns out that even the guests arriving now can blind a lot of people.”
“That’s just common sense. With just Lao Wang and Lao Zhang alone, they’re enough to attract attention, not to mention there are still people who haven’t arrived yet.”
“Here comes another car, quick, it’s someone important!” The whole media area became lively again.
At this moment, a Rolls-Royce stopped at the red carpet. Qin Fen and his father, Qin De, got out of the car, ignoring the cameras around them, and followed the hostess into the venue.
Meanwhile, Ling Chen also came out and quickly greeted Qin De before leading his group into the venue. Qin Fen, on the other hand, joined Si Cong and the others, standing at the entrance chatting.
“Why hasn’t Young Master Zhou arrived yet? Is he not coming today?” Qin Fen glanced towards the red carpet with a hint of disappointment.
“I don’t know. You know Young Master Zhou doesn’t like to be in the spotlight,” Zhang Wenxuan added.
Si Cong, however, casually remarked, “Don’t worry, Young Master Zhou will be here soon. We talked about attending when we had dinner together yesterday. I guess Young Master Zhou might be preparing to go onstage.”
“That shouldn’t be the case. Even Lao Wang and the others didn’t have this kind of security. Look, which handsome guy is leading Lao Wang and Lao Zhang out? And why are Si Cong and the other second-generation heirs walking behind them? The fact that the handsome guy is even walking ahead of Lao Wang and the others is terrifying to think about!”
People began speculating about Zhou Chao’s identity.
“Could he really be...” These journalists instantly remembered the words of the middle-aged reporter from Xinlang.
“Look, here come two more luxury cars. Could this be the climax of today?”
Everyone quickly grabbed their cameras and aimed at the luxury cars that had just parked.
“Huh, who’s coming now? It seems like no one else has been invited.” Zhou Chao looked puzzledly at Ling Chen beside him, who after a moment of thought, shook his head slightly.
The car doors opened, and two extremely familiar faces stepped out. “Why are they here?”
“Lao Ma, Xiao Ma, what brings you here?” Zhou Chao looked surprised at the two men in front of him.
“We’re also here uninvited. Why are you all standing here? You’re not waiting specifically for us, are you?” Lao Ma asked, somewhat surprised.
“Lao Ma, do you really think you’re so important that we’d all stand here waiting for you? Dream on.” Wang Jianlin retorted directly at Lao Ma.
“That’s right, Xiao Ma, come over here. Don’t stand next to Lao Ma with his big face.” Zhang Liang chuckled.
At this point, Lao Ma and Xiao Ma also understood. There must be more important figures coming later. Seeing the bodyguards standing around, with one every meter or so, the two of them also had some speculation in their minds. They quickly walked into the crowd and started chatting with Zhou Chao, Lao Wang, and the others.
“What’s going on? Both Lao and Xiao Ma are here. What’s the background of this Dragonfly Group that can make these domestic big shots come forward to support it? And it seems that there are still some big shots who haven’t arrived yet. If they can make Lao and Xiao Ma, along with Lao Wang and others, wait for them, then this person’s background must be extraordinary!”
Some experienced journalists had already started using their phones to write articles, waiting for the appearance of the final guest. They could then publish their articles first and attract traffic to facilitate subsequent reporting.
Twenty minutes quickly passed, and at this moment, a convoy approached the corner of the street, all adorned with red flags.
“Oh my god, things are about to get big.” The middle-aged journalist from Xinlang had his mouth wide open, unable to believe his eyes.
“Bro, what’s going on? You look so surprised,” the young guy from Phoenix still seemed oblivious.
Unfortunately, there was no reply. Instead, everyone around fell silent, quietly turning off their camera flashes.
Soon, the convoy stopped at the entrance of the red carpet. First, seven or eight black-clad bodyguards stepped out, looking more formidable than Zhou Chao’s entourage.
The car door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out. Everyone watching was shocked, unable to believe their eyes.
Even Zhou Chao was deeply shaken, suppressing his excitement as he walked briskly towards the man.
But he was stopped by a black-clad bodyguard after just a few steps.
“Let him come over,” a deep voice came through.
“You must be Zhou Chao, the one that Old Man Xiao often mentions. I didn’t expect you to be so young. Well done, talented and promising. Come on, let’s go inside first and talk.”
Zhou Chao quickly led the middle-aged man inside, leaving the others standing there, still in shock.
“Did you all hear what that man just said?” Lao Ma asked incredulously.
“We heard it.”
Everyone snapped out of their daze, feeling a mix of emotions, but they didn’t dwell on it too much and followed suit, walking into the venue.
