The two continued to chat for a few more moments, then hung up the phone.
Afterward, Fu Guoxiang, who had just hung up the phone, sent Su Yi an invitation to tomorrow's grand event.
Also receiving invitations were Qiu Guoyu, "God A," and Shao Zhengbang of "Huaxin Securities Shanghai Gubei Road," two renowned figures in China's speculative capital circles, personally invited by the General Manager of Huaxin Securities Shanghai Branch.
Additionally, prominent individuals from public funds, private equity firms, proprietary trading departments of financial institutions, foreign-funded institutions, and other asset management entities covering the entire Shanghai financial sector were invited.
Furthermore, many financial big Vs and well-known stock commentators active on the Eastmoney website platform, as well as scholars, professors in financial investment active in the Shanghai financial sector, and numerous institutional analysts and investment consultants within the industry.
Also received invitations issued by the two co-organizers, Huaxin Securities and Eastmoney.
Of course, many industry insiders who did not receive an invitation from the co-organizers but wanted to attend the event to gain exposure, network with industry leaders, or for various other purposes.
At this moment, they were all using their connections to find ways to attend this grand event.
Even, as the news of Huaxin Securities and Eastmoney, two major institutional platforms, jointly holding an offline financial event began to rapidly spread and ferment within the Shanghai financial sector.
In countless private small groups within the industry, people had already started selling admission tickets.
"Is anyone going to the financial event held at Shanghai Tianlai Hotel tomorrow? Invitations are 3,000 yuan each."
"An invitation for 3,000 yuan? Isn't that too expensive?"
"It includes the dinner banquet cost and the opportunity to meet countless bigwigs in our Shanghai financial sector. 3,000 yuan is absolutely worth it!"
"How many invitation slots are left? Give me one."
"I still have 4 here, not many left. Those who want to go, hurry..."
As such messages flew around in various small groups, both within and outside the industry.
Su Yi glanced at the address in the invitation sent by Fu Guoxiang, didn't pay much attention to it, then washed up and went to bed.
The next day, Saturday, September 12th.
After Su Yi got up, he had breakfast, accompanied Chu Wan to a training institution to practice singing for a while, then had lunch with her.
After a short rest, he finally arrived at the "Future Investment Star" stock trading competition awards ceremony, co-hosted by "Huaxin Securities" and "Eastmoney," which was also the venue for their joint investment strategy exchange conference, following the address on the invitation.
"General Manager Su..."
Seeing Su Yi's arrival, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been anxiously waiting at the entrance of the venue, hurried to greet him.
Su Yi noticed that she wasn't wearing professional attire today, but instead a beautiful long dress that was very eye-catching.
He couldn't help but smile and say,
"Miss Lin seems a bit different from usual today!"
"Different how?"
Lin Xiaoxiao asked, a little puzzled.
"You look even prettier than usual,"
Su Yi said with a smile.
"This dress suits you very well."
Lin Xiaoxiao had excellent features, both in terms of her face and figure, making her a standard beauty.
Su Yi was used to seeing her in professional attire and had never paid much attention to her personal image.
Now, by chance, he saw her in a different style; her tall, graceful figure was fully revealed beneath the long dress, and her already beautiful face appeared even more exquisite with makeup.
For a moment, he found her quite stunning.
"Thank you for the compliment, General Manager Su."
Lin Xiaoxiao's face lit up with joy upon hearing Su Yi's praise.
She then led Su Yi into the venue.
"Everyone should be here by now, right?"
Su Yi asked, seeing that it was almost 2:15 PM.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded gently and said,
"Indeed, most people have arrived. However, General Manager Su, you are a very important special guest at today's event, and many people are still looking forward to your arrival."
"Is that so?"
Su Yi replied indifferently, not paying much attention.
"Yes!"
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Before you arrived, many people were asking Mr. Fu of our sales department about you. Even our company's top leaders asked several times if you had come. It's clear that everyone is very, very much looking forward to your arrival, General Manager Su."
Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao recalled Su Yi's legendary trading experience at the sales department.
For more than a month, she had heard too many customers discussing Su Yi at the sales department.
Even her job transfer, her improved treatment at the sales department, and the recognition she received from her superiors—all these benefits were due to securing Su Yi as a super-large client.
As the two conversed, they had already entered the venue.
At this moment, the venue was bustling with people.
The main leaders, including the Deputy General Manager of Huaxin Securities Group (one of the organizers), the General Manager of Huaxin Securities Shanghai Branch, and the General Manager of Eastmoney, were giving opening speeches for the day's grand event with the assistance of the host.
Seeing that the event had already begun, Su Yi felt it would be inappropriate to disrupt the order of the entire venue due to his arrival.
So, he casually found an empty seat and quietly sat down.
Lin Xiaoxiao had originally intended to tell him that his special guest seat was in the front row of the venue, but at that moment, her company's senior leaders were speaking on the rostrum.
She didn't dare to simply lead Su Yi forward and abruptly interrupt their speeches.
She could only quietly sit beside Su Yi, feeling helpless, and secretly text her direct superior.
However, her direct superior was properly seated in the front, listening to the presentation, and had no time to check messages on their phone.
"Oh, Brother Su, it's you!"
Soon after Su Yi sat down, a slightly older man next to him glanced at him and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Su Yi looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw that the man sitting next to him had a somewhat familiar face, but he couldn't immediately recall who it was.
"You are..."
Su Yi asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Brother Su certainly has a lot on his mind,"
The man said with a smile.
"I'm Zhou Gucheng. Last time... at the Starbucks cafe, we discussed 'Teli A' stock together."
"Oh, I remember now,"
Su Yi said with a smile.
"So it was Brother Zhou. My apologies."
"No problem,"
Zhou Gucheng chuckled softly, then his gaze fell upon Lin Xiaoxiao.
"This must be Brother Su's girlfriend, right? So beautiful!"
"You've misunderstood,"
Su Yi lightly coughed.
"Miss Lin here is a gold-medal stockbroker at Huaxin Securities."
"Really?"
Zhou Gucheng was surprised that Lin Xiaoxiao was an insider at Huaxin Securities.
"Is Brother Zhou also invited to attend the event?"
Su Yi asked softly.
Zhou Gucheng chuckled softly and awkwardly, then paused and replied,
"How could I be? I don't have that qualification. I bought a ticket just to come and see. But Brother Su... having such a beautiful friend from within the company to guide you in, getting in without paying, that's truly enviable."
As he spoke.
Many people nearby who heard his voice instantly turned their gaze towards Su Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao beside him.
Their eyes revealed expressions of jealousy or envy.
