Chapter 140 The Annual Ceremony Begins



Seeing herself in the meticulously edited photos on her WeChat Moments, Su Qingjiao really felt like she was a rich heiress. She should be admired and envied by everyone, instead of just using a rented luxury car to show off her wealth.

However, things will be different after today!

The old shareholders had promised her that they would implicitly acknowledge her as the eldest daughter of the Zhou Group at the banquet.

But at times, everyone looks at her with envy.

While Su Qingjiao was fantasizing about being the center of attention, Hao Min, wearing a black fitted halter dress, was also preparing to take a taxi from home.

This evening gown was a gift from a client after she had spent a week with him; it was also her most expensive and presentable dress.

Hao Min, who was keeping a close eye on Su Qingjiao, took a screenshot with a cold smile after seeing Su Qingjiao's post on WeChat Moments and forwarded it to Zhou Yi.

At that moment, Zhou Yi had just come out of his grandmother's hospital room when he received a WeChat message forwarded by Hao Min.

Seeing Su Qingjiao proudly showing off her luxury car on her WeChat Moments, Zhou Yi sneered and glanced at the time on his phone.

There's still half an hour until 3 o'clock!

No rush, let them get carried away for a while until the very last moment!

As Zhou Yi walked towards the ward and changed out of his hospital gown, he called his driver to pick him up from the hospital.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yi sat in the Bentley, instructing the driver to take him to the most luxurious shopping mall in Luzhou, while he began making phone calls.

"jingle--"

When the time came, the call was connected.

Zhou Yi raised his phone and ordered the people who were already prepared on the other end, "Time's up! Release the evidence! Inform the police and release your aunt!"

"Yes, Young Master Zhou!"

"Received, Young Master Zhou!"

All the evidence had already been collected and was in Zhou Yi's hands. He was just waiting for Zhou Yi's order to act simultaneously with the hospital and the police station, catching the people arranged by the shareholders off guard.

By this time, the shareholders had already entered the room, and their mobile phones were handed over to their secretaries.

Zhou Yi exploited this time difference!

The shareholders were unknowingly drawn into Zhou Yi's trap. Just when he was gloating and thought he was the winner, Zhou Yi caught him off guard, leaving him no chance to find connections or backers.

The car stopped at the mall, and Zhou Yi took the elevator to the top floor to the luxury boutique.

The usually bustling top-floor boutique was serving only one person today.

As the elevator doors opened with a ding, several shop assistants stood at the elevator entrance to greet customers.

"Young Master Zhou, your formal attire has been prepared for you."

Time passed slowly.

Undercurrents are swirling in Luzhou.

The company executives attending the annual ceremony today all had mixed feelings.

At the same time, during the Zhou family's annual ceremony.

"My God, this is the Affiliate Hotel! It's the only six-star hotel in Luzhou, and there are no more than five in the whole country. It has even hosted heads of state before."

"My goodness, when I saw this magnificent gate, I almost knelt down in its presence."

"I experienced the bustling traffic firsthand today; I never knew there were so many wealthy people in Luzhou."

Three girls with exquisite makeup stood at the entrance of the parking lot of the Affiliate Hotel, looking up at the high-end and elegant six-star hotel.

The luxury cars parked at the entrance were all different models, which was enough to show that each car was very valuable.

Moreover, there were no Audi or BMW logos that they were familiar with, as if those well-known brands were not qualified to enter such an occasion.

"drop--"

A sports car behind them honked its horn.

The three girls quickly snapped out of their daze and hurried away from where they were standing, moving as far to the side as possible so as not to block the luxury car and drive straight towards the hotel entrance.

"Luckily, the three of us came together, otherwise we would have seen everyone else getting off at the hotel entrance."

"We were the only ones getting out of the car outside the parking lot. I felt really nervous being alone."

The other two nodded in agreement. They had come with invitations from Su Qingjiao. Coming from ordinary families, they were delighted to be able to broaden their horizons at such an event, and their faces had been beaming with joy ever since they got out of the car.

Even before the banquet started, the parking lot in front of the hotel was already full.

After arriving at the hotel, guests toss the keys to the hotel's chauffeur and ask him to park the car in the underground parking lot.

The three of them walked to the hotel entrance together, and just as they were about to go in, they were stopped by the hotel staff.

"Sorry, the hotel is booked out for the whole day."

Stopped by someone, the three looked embarrassed. They took out the invitation to the Zhou family's annual celebration from their bags, waved it in front of the hotel staff, and boasted:

"We are invited guests."

The hotel staff carefully checked the three people's invitations, and after the electronic verification was completed, they spoke with a softened expression:

"Excuse me, ladies, please come in."

"The banquet hall is on the first floor lobby. The second floor has a lounge area prepared for you. If you need to rest, please ask a staff member to escort you there..."

As the hotel staff led the three inside, they explained the hotel's procedures and services for the day.

As 3 o'clock approached, almost everyone had entered the banquet hall.

The invited teacher, upon entering with the invitation, was stunned and took a deep breath upon seeing the incredibly luxurious banquet hall.

The hall stretched as far as the eye could see, with a ceiling nearly six meters high. The ceiling was carved from a dazzling, gem-like material, making it feel like stepping into a world made of crystal.

The teacher took off her glasses and wiped them to calm herself down before looking around at the guests.

A real estate tycoon with influence over both the legitimate and criminal worlds of Luzhou, a rising star in the financial sector, and a veteran actor in both film and television...

Today, we are fortunate enough to meet these people who only exist in the news.

They wore bespoke suits worth millions of dollars, chatting and laughing with those around them, each one appearing so composed.

The teacher swallowed hard, nervously picked up a glass of red wine from the table, silently recited the words he had already memorized, and then prepared to find someone to sponsor him.

Many people are just as nervous as the teacher; at the Zhou family's annual celebration, many middle and senior managers also have the opportunity to witness such a scene.

Some people were engrossed in eating various delicacies, completely oblivious to whether the people at the banquet were celebrities or socialites.

Some people, like the teachers, are constantly looking for opportunities to strike up conversations with others.

The most nervous person at the entire banquet was Xu Yan.

As the planner of this banquet, he managed to make it so luxurious with minimal funds, naturally cutting corners on some equipment as much as possible.

now--

As the banquet planner, Xu Yan was on high alert, watching every possible mistake and using a walkie-talkie to direct all the hotel staff to make timely adjustments.
