At this moment, in the lobby of Jiuzhou Group, some people were already waiting there; these people were all part of Jiuzhou Group's management.
Based on their standing positions, these individuals were roughly divided into three different circles.
"Everyone, this is Mr. Shen's successor, Qin Yi, Mr. Qin."
After entering, the man in the suit solemnly introduced Qin Yi to everyone.
The first circle was led by a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing silver-rimmed glasses and a faint smile on his face; the second circle was led by a silver-haired elder in his sixties.
As for the last circle, although it had a slightly larger number of people, they were very scattered.
"Mr. Qin, that middle-aged man is Sun Mingjie, the company's second-largest shareholder and your biggest future enemy; that elder is Yang Tai, the company's third-largest shareholder, and he is also not to be underestimated."
The man in the suit quietly introduced them to Qin Yi.
"The last group of people were mostly those promoted by Mr. Shen previously, as well as some neutral factions within the company."
When they saw the man in the suit bring Qin Yi in, the people from the last circle were the first to come over and greet Qin Yi warmly.
Most of these people had been promoted by Qin Yi's great-uncle, they were his confidantes, and they had a poor relationship with Sun Mingjie and Yang Tai. After Qin Yi's great-uncle passed away, they were worried. With Qin Yi's appearance, they felt as if they had a backbone and all gathered around him.
"Brother Qin is very young. I am Sun Mingjie."
At this moment, Sun Mingjie smiled and stepped forward to shake Qin Yi's hand. He was a notorious'smiling tiger' at Jiuzhou Group.
"General Manager Sun."
Qin Yi nodded.
Subsequently, Yang Tai also came over to greet Qin Yi, his attitude being relatively neutral.
"Alright, everyone, please return to your work. I will accompany Brother Qin on a tour of the company."
Sun Mingjie stepped forward and said to everyone.
Upon hearing this, Jiuzhou Group's management left one after another, leaving only Qin Yi's great-uncle's former confidantes, who remained on guard against Sun Mingjie.
Sun Mingjie also noticed this scene but did not drive these people away. Instead, he led Qin Yi on a tour of the company.
Sun Mingjie was observing Qin Yi, and Qin Yi was also paying attention to Sun Mingjie. Compared to an opponent who is arrogant from the start, this kind of smiling tiger is clearly more dangerous. As the old saying goes, "a biting dog doesn't show its teeth."
As they toured the fifth floor of the company, a group of people suddenly walked out of a conference room.
Leading this group was a cold and stunningly beautiful woman, with a flawless face, icy skin and jade bones, and beauty that could topple cities.
She wore a professional suit that accentuated her curvaceous figure, and her long, black legs drew glances.
However, she seemed to be in a very bad mood, as there was a hint of chill on the cold woman's pretty face.
Qin Yi, who was touring the company, instantly froze when he saw this cold woman.
"Bai Qingyue?"
Qin Yi subconsciously spoke.
On the other side, hearing someone call her name, the cold woman subconsciously looked up. When she saw Qin Yi clearly, she also froze.
"Qin Yi?"
Bai Qingyue was the aloof campus belle during Qin Yi's university days, a prominent figure across the entire school, and also Qin Yi's classmate. At that time, their relationship was quite good, but Qin Yi's eyes were filled only with his first love, Zhou Waner, completely ignoring other girls around him.
"Old classmate, long time no see."
Qin Yi stepped forward to greet her.
"Indeed, long time no see. Are you...?"
Bai Qingyue nodded. Her pretty face, which had been cold just moments ago, now showed a hint of a smile.
Seeing this, the people behind Bai Qingyue were astonished. So, General Manager Bai could smile too.
"The chairman of Jiuzhou Group is my great-uncle..."
Qin Yi gave a brief introduction.
Bai Qingyue was clearly surprised when she learned that Qin Yi was the largest shareholder of Jiuzhou Group.
"And you are?"
Qin Yi asked curiously, wondering if this former aloof campus belle was also his employee.
"I'm here to discuss business. I am currently the CEO of Bais Group in Nanzhou City."
Bai Qingyue replied.
"By the way, I heard that after you graduated, you married Zhou Waner?"
Bai Qingyue asked softly.
"We're divorced."
Qin Yi shrugged.
Divorced?
Upon hearing those three words, Bai Qingyue's expression clearly changed.
Subsequently, the two exchanged their latest contact information. Qin Yi still had a board meeting to attend shortly and couldn't chat in detail with Bai Qingyue for now. They agreed to have a meal together in a few days.
Under Sun Mingjie's guidance, Qin Yi continued his tour.
Watching Qin Yi's departing figure, Bai Qingyue's beautiful eyes lingered, wondering what she was thinking.
Meanwhile, the people from Bais Group behind her began to whisper. They were all experienced individuals, and the usually aloof General Manager Bai clearly treated this Qin Yi very differently. There might have been something between them during university.
Ten minutes later, after finishing the company tour, Qin Yi arrived at the board meeting.
At this moment, all the company's shareholders had arrived.
Soon, one of Mr. Shen's former confidantes proposed that Qin Yi, as the successor, take over the position of Chairman of Jiuzhou Group.
Instantly, Mr. Shen's former confidantes raised their hands one after another.
However, many others present looked towards Sun Mingjie and Yang Tai.
Especially Sun Mingjie's confidantes, who were ready for a fight. Yet, to everyone's surprise...
"I support General Manager Qin in taking over as Chairman of Jiuzhou Group!"
Sun Mingjie said with a smile, stepping forward.
As soon as Sun Mingjie uttered these words, the conference room erupted in discussion.
Sun Mingjie's confidantes were stunned. What was wrong with General Manager Sun? Such a good opportunity, why did General Manager Sun give it up? Had he not always wanted to be the company's chairman?
Although the confidantes were very puzzled, at Sun Mingjie's Indicate, they had no choice but to agree.
Seeing this, Yang Tai also expressed his agreement.
"I announce that Mr. Qin Yi, from now on, officially becomes the Chairman of our Jiuzhou Group."
The host announced.
A thunderous applause immediately erupted in the room.
After the board meeting, Sun Mingjie and Yang Tai both left with their people, while Mr. Shen's confidantes came over to congratulate Qin Yi.
While chatting with these people, Qin Yi also received good news: the market value of Jiuzhou Group had risen again recently.
Translated, Qin Yi's net worth increased by over 200 million again, instantly bringing his net worth to a staggering 11 billion!
At the suggestion of the man in the suit, in order to win over people and strengthen relationships, Qin Yi booked a top restaurant in Nanzhou City for the evening, hosting a dinner for all the leadership of Jiuzhou Group.
Time flew by. Around seven in the evening, Zhou Xiaorong, bringing the livestreamer Vivi whom she had finally managed to invite, arrived at Yunxi Pavilion for dinner.
Yunxi Pavilion, a renowned high-end restaurant in Nanzhou City, had an average per-person cost of five figures. If you ordered wine, it could easily go over a hundred thousand. At the same time, Yunxi Pavilion was the preferred venue for entertaining countless dignitaries, wealthy individuals, and big bosses in Nanzhou City.
If it weren't to win over Vivi, Zhou Xiaorong wouldn't have spent such a large sum.
Getting out of the car, Zhou Xiaorong's eyes sparkled as she looked at the ancient and elegant Yunxi Pavilion ahead, which resembled an ancient palace. It truly lived up to its reputation as a top restaurant in a first-tier city.
With that, Zhou Xiaorong pulled Vivi forward.
But before she could reach the restaurant's entrance, she was stopped by a staff member.
"We want to go in and eat. Why are you stopping us?"
Zhou Xiaorong asked with displeasure.
"I'm sorry, madam, but a very important person has booked the entire venue tonight. Yunxi Pavilion is not open to the public this evening."
The staff member said apologetically.
"Booked the entire venue? Someone can book the entire Yunxi Pavilion?"
Zhou Xiaorong was a bit dumbfounded.
"How much does it cost to book the whole place? Is one million enough?"
Zhou Xiaorong muttered dazedly.
"Ten million?"
The staff member cast a disdainful look, as if looking at a country bumpkin.
"Five million starting, with no upper limit."
"Gulp... gulp... five million..."
Zhou Xiaorong swallowed hard, utterly shocked.
To book the whole place, it starts at five million. Oh my goodness.
"Just how incredibly powerful is the VIP who booked this place? They're far too generous."
Zhou Xiaorong exclaimed.
The wealthy person who could book this Yunxi Pavilion was definitely a super important figure she needed to look up to, someone unreachable, right?
For a moment, Zhou Xiaorong was extremely curious about this VIP who had booked the venue.
Just as Zhou Xiaorong was about to leave, a large convoy of luxury cars slowly drove up. The leading luxury car was a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth tens of millions!
