They flew half a circle around the huge statue of a celestial being, and then stopped in front of a crowded hotel. This was the venue of the Autumn Chamber of Commerce.
It is called a chamber of commerce, but in fact it is more like a cocktail party, where wine is used instead of friends. It provides a platform for many companies in Sanriku to communicate with each other, with the aim of promoting economic development.
A red carpet had been rolled out in front of the lavish hotel, and crowds of people and luxury cars surrounded it. Besides the onlookers, there were also many journalists with handheld devices, and the white lights flashing non-stop at the entrance were constantly shooting photos.
Several people parked their car in the designated area and then walked towards the gate.
The security guard held them back. Chen Qingyu presented the invitation, and Chu Yao and the other two walked onto the red carpet, surrounded by several bodyguards.
Chu Yao was in the middle, Xiaoran and Qingyu were on her left and right, and they were surrounded by beautiful bodyguards. As soon as this combination appeared, there was a noisy discussion among the crowd, and everyone turned their eyes to the radiant Chu Yao.
There's a reason for that... because she looks so young.
"Hey, new faces? Who are these people? I don't think I saw them last year."
"Besides several familiar 'old friends' at this Liberty City Autumn Chamber of Commerce, many emerging companies have also made their mark. For example, the directors and managers of the Cattail Group are approaching us now. This company has achieved considerable success in the field of new pharmaceutical industrial technology, injecting new vitality into the market development of the Third Continent... Cyberbird Weekly reporter Aina reports to you."
"Maowei Group, their heat-relief lozenges are incredibly effective! I just bought some a few days ago."
"Is the guy in the middle the chairman of Maowei Group? He looks too young, like a student."
Those who can participate in this chamber of commerce are basically business tycoons, and the youngest one is in his twenties. Chu Yao, who still looks like a girl, naturally became the focus as soon as she appeared.
Her bright and mature makeup couldn't hide her slightly thin figure. In addition, Chu Yao was a little shorter than Xiaoran and Qingyu. The three of them walked side by side, like a family of three...
However, Chu Yao didn't care what these people were talking about. In terms of age, she could be the grandmother of everyone present.
She was simply enjoying the occasion.
Chu Yao walked slowly and gracefully on the long red carpet, responding to every glance cast upon her. She proudly raised her head in front of the crowd of reporters and cameras, a confident smile on her lips.
Confident, generous, and a bit arrogant.
As such, she is bound to become the focus of the crowd wherever she goes.
This is true in the world of cultivation and in the society of gods and immortals as well.
"Don't judge a book by its cover. Maowei Group is a large company with a market capitalization of tens of millions. This President Chu must be quite capable."
"Hey, I heard that the Maowei Group isn't so clean. Do you know how they made their fortune?"
"Hush—you dare to bring this up in a situation like this? You're asking for your life."
"What's there to be afraid of? But then again, how many of these big companies are clean..."
Chu Yao, always attentive, naturally heard these words. She calmly cast her gaze at the passerby who had spoken these words. The moment their gaze met, the indifferent coldness in Chu Yao's eyes made the man shudder, shrink his head, and remain silent. The contrast between the two made those around him confused.
"Okay, okay, stop showing off. It's time for us to go in." Gong Xiaoran whispered softly and tugged at the corner of Chu Yao's clothes.
Chu Yao stuck out her tongue. This micro-expression naturally didn't escape the sharp eyes of the reporters. Many people captured this moment, but who knew what kind of article they would use this photo for.
After lingering at the door for a long time, Gong Xiaoran finally dragged Chu Yao, who was still reluctant to leave, into the hotel lobby.
The well-dressed service staff bowed to greet them and took them to the lobby on the first floor, which was the main venue of the Chamber of Commerce.
The spacious conference hall came into view, but it didn't seem particularly large. Chu Yao estimated that it was only about five or six hundred square meters.
A long table covered with a white cloth embroidered with gold stood in the center of the venue. Several emerald chandeliers on the ceiling shone brightly, making the crystal cups and silver plates on the table shine.
Entrepreneurs in formal suits stood in groups of three or five around a long table, some chatting animatedly, while others sipped wine in silence.
Seeing Chu Yao and the others coming, many people turned a blind eye, but there were also many people who gave them kind glances.
It's normal to turn a blind eye. After all, they are "newcomers" who have just arrived.
No matter where you go, strength is king. If it weren't for Maowei Company's impressive performance, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have goodwill.
These people's "goodwill" comes at a price.
Many more people came one after another, both men and women. Each of them was as radiant as the protagonist, with pride on their faces.
There are not only corporate representatives, but also some aristocratic families, most of whom are local forces on Lingyuan Star.
When everyone was almost there, there was a soft applause from the center of the venue. The noisy talking stopped abruptly, and Chu Yao looked towards the center along with everyone else.
The man who was clapping was only wearing a white shirt without even a tie. He seemed to be the only one present who was not wearing formal clothes, but no one dared to look down on him because of his attire.
Chu Yao recognized that face. He was Gao Yunkuan, the general manager of Yali Company stationed at Lingyuan Star.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, old and new, welcome to the annual Liberty City Business Reception. On behalf of the entire Yali Company, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the distinguished guests from various companies..."
Gao Yunkuan held a glass of wine and talked freely. It was obviously not the first time he hosted such a cocktail party. He spoke in a proper and measured manner, with the temperament of a successful person.
