At the headquarters of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, Fan Zhengbin froze, as if struck by lightning, upon seeing the message sent by his own people.
Nearby, Wu Wendong was celebrating with his men, mocking Ye Chen as an idiot, when he suddenly noticed Fan Zhengbin's unusual behavior and asked in surprise:
"Old Fan, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy? We successfully stopped Old Luo and that guy surnamed Ye from giving their speeches. We should celebrate!"
"We stopped it, we stopped loneliness."
Fan Zhengbin gave a wry smile and then handed the phone to Wu Wendong.
Wu Wendong took the phone, puzzled. He looked down and his smile froze instantly. He could hardly believe his eyes.
"Ye Chen's speech has begun. They've moved to a different location; they're not at headquarters anymore?!"
Wu Wendong screamed out.
Upon hearing Wu Wendong's words, the others who were still celebrating were equally stunned.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? When did they change the venue? How come we didn't know?"
Wu Wendong couldn't believe it and asked in great confusion.
Just then, Wu Wendong's phone rang, and his people sent him a message.
"It is said that the venue for the speech was changed today, and that Mr. Luo personally sent people to pick up the members of the Chamber of Commerce, preventing them from contacting the outside world."
Fan Zhengbin said angrily.
"However, I think that guy surnamed Ye had planned this all along. His talk about holding a speech at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters was just a smokescreen to distract us."
The thought of how they had just been celebrating and mocking Ye Chen made Fan Zhengbin and Wu Wendong feel ashamed. It turned out they were the ones being played.
"Damn it, damn it!!!"
In a fit of anger, Wu Wendong smashed his newly bought phone onto the ground.
Wu Wendong and Fan Zhengbin were furious, but Shen Yizhe had already taken action. The moment he saw the news, Shen Yizhe ordered the driver to go to the Hilton Hotel where Ye Chen was giving his speech at all costs, regardless of red lights or speed limits.
Although his reaction speed was much better than Wu Wendong's, Shen Yizhe's face was extremely grim at this moment.
Shen Yizhe always considered himself clever and believed that victory was within his grasp. He thought that whether it was Luo Lao, Ye Chen, Wu Wendong, or Fan Zhengbin, they were all playthings in his hands and would all be defeated by him.
But now he was being told that he, so clever as he was, had been made a fool of by Ye Chen. Shen Yizhe felt insulted. He, who had been so clever all his life, had actually been tricked by a twenty-year-old. This was an utter disgrace!
Thinking it over, Shen Yizhe immediately called Jiang Songmai, the confidant of Luo Lao whom he had bribed, to ask him what was going on.
Jiang Songmai was the bald man that Elder Luo met with Ye Chen last time. Elder Luo trusted him a lot, and at that time, Elder Luo enthusiastically introduced Jiang Songmai to Ye Chen.
It was Jiang Songmai who told Luo Lao about Wu Wendong and Fan Zhengbin's collaboration.
Of course, the reason why Jiang Songmai told Luo Lao and Ye Chen this news was entirely arranged behind the scenes by Shen Yizhe.
Shen Yizhe had always thought he had everything under control, but now, things were completely out of his control!
"What?! The location changed?! The speech was held at the Hilton International Hotel?! How could this be?!"
After hearing Shen Yizhe's explanation, Jiang Songmai was also stunned, not understanding what had happened.
"You mean you didn't know about this?" Shen Yizhe asked, puzzled. Jiang Songmai was Luo Lao's confidant. How could Luo Lao not tell Jiang Songmai such an important matter?
"I really don't know, Boss Shen....................."
Jiang Songmai immediately protested his innocence: "I also received Luo Lao's message yesterday, but I didn't pay attention to it because I was out of town."
"How could this be? Old Luo didn't even tell you, his trusted confidant?"
Shen Yizhe asked angrily.
Ye Chen had specifically instructed Elder Luo not to tell Jiang Songmai about the matter yesterday. When Ye Chen first met Jiang Songmai, he vaguely felt that Jiang Songmai was a little abnormal and overly enthusiastic.
To ensure that nothing went wrong with this important speech, just in case, Ye Chen specifically instructed Luo Lao not to tell Jiang Songmai or any of his other confidants; only the two of them should know.
Although Elder Luo was somewhat surprised by Ye Chen's reasons for doing this, he still agreed.
"Alright, you should return to the capital as soon as possible and stay by Elder Luo's side. I need your news."
When Shen Yizhe spoke up, he thought that it might be because Jiang Songmai was out of town that Elder Luo hadn't told Jiang Songmai, and he didn't suspect that Ye Chen had noticed Jiang Songmai's unusual behavior.
"Hurry, hurry up! I need to get to the Hilton International Hotel within half an hour!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yizhe told the driver to keep accelerating. Speeding and running red lights didn't matter; speed was everything now.
He needed to get there as soon as possible and ruin Ye Chen's speech!
As Shen Yizhe accelerated, Wu Wendong and Fan Zhengbin also realized what was happening. They immediately brought over several high-speed supercars and sped towards Ye Chen's Hilton International Hotel, also intending to stop Ye Chen.
Unfortunately, the headquarters of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce was too far from the Hilton International Hotel where Ye Chen was staying.
As they continued their journey, Ye Chen's speech had already gotten to the main point.
Time passed slowly, and after thirty-two minutes, Shen Yizhe finally arrived at the Hilton International Hotel where Ye Chen was.
After getting out of the car, Shen Yizhe and his men rushed into the hotel as fast as they could and headed straight for the hotel's large conference room.
Three minutes later, Shen Yizhe suddenly pushed open the conference room door.
Almost simultaneously, Elder Luo also stepped onto the stage to announce his crucial decision to ensure Ye Chen's early appointment as the next president of the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce!
