October 1st, the nation's birthday, was also the date of Chen Yun and Wen Maidong's engagement. Held at the capital's largest hotel, even though only a few people were invited, many still flocked to the event, hoping to build relationships.
Don't underestimate the people who attended; there were many evildoers in the capital. Even those who were well-known and thought they had a wide network of connections were shocked by the scene.
The military, the political world, and more importantly, the business world. The connections in these three worlds were immediately exposed at this moment. No one dared to say that they had such a network of connections.
"This is... Commander Chen..."
"Dean Wang is also here..."
"Dean Tian, and Commander Li. Mayor Cheng."
The chattering crowd was no longer as carefree as before. They were all on high alert, wondering if they had offended the Shen family in some way. Look, Wen Maidong and the Shen family's engagement had already been brought to such a state.
"Oh my god! These people showed up en masse."
"Yeah! I can't imagine it at all. Where did he come from? Didn't he say he was just an ordinary person?"
Is this the rhythm of an ordinary person? Is this the behavior of an ordinary person? This? They couldn't believe it at all, and confusion was written all over their faces. They said they were completely confused.
What should they do? In the future, should they support the Shen family? Their background is unimaginable, and they are not a group they can reach.
Given such a platform, why not seize it? Try to build a good relationship. Even if that's not possible, at least make it less awkward. They never know when they'll need help from others. Then, what will they offer to build a relationship? Sell a favor?
With mixed feelings, everyone expressed their surprise. They hadn't expected this to happen. Initially, they hadn't considered the engagement at all, but now that the invitation was in hand, it was hard to refuse. Now, everyone couldn't help but dread the thought: if they didn't come, if they had declined, wouldn't they have missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"When I go back, I must have a good exchange with those who didn't come."
"They'll probably beat their chests and stamp their feet."
"Haha... That's what we should do. Seeing them behave like this makes us feel comfortable."
Many people gloated over their misfortune, saying they just wanted to see those people's expressions of regret, saying it was their own fault for turning down such a good opportunity. In the future, even if they came, it would only be a courtesy, and they wouldn't be treated with the same respect as they were. Just thinking about it made them feel relieved.
"That's right...it makes me feel better just thinking about it."
It's so comfortable! Just like drinking a glass of ice water in the summer, that refreshing feeling.
"Haha...it's rare to feel the same way."
The group chuckled, eager to see the regretful expressions of those who hadn't come. Yes, gloating over someone else's misfortune was a common thought, but they were the most perverse.
"But, does anyone know where the Shen family came from?"
They had doubts in their hearts, and they felt uneasy until they resolved them. They only knew that Shen Feng and Shen Yu, the two younger generations, were thriving in the business world, and even the older generation had to admit it. Young people were just enterprising and had the ambition to strive for success, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
"Well, where does the Shen family come from?"
If you understand it more clearly, you will avoid hitting reefs in the future. No one wants to capsize in the gutter. Even such powerful people are so low-key. Is there any way for these people to survive?
"It seems to have developed in recent years. Do you know Xiashan Village? It's the village that cooperated with the military to set up a factory. The Shen family is from that village."
"Then...it's impossible for so many people to give him face, right?"
Politicians had also arrived. Although there weren't many, they were all high-ranking figures. The slightest movement was enough to spark speculation, enough to get everyone thinking. These people wouldn't just come here for no reason; they must know something, but they simply didn't know the inside story.
"Yeah! Tell me, what's going on?"
"Well, well, what's going on?"
Different circles were in different places, and the three circles were particularly conspicuous. Shen Chenfeng was also helpless, but there was no way out. Who could connect them? His two children were too young, they were not qualified enough.
"It seems... because of Chen Yun."
A person who obviously knows something about the situation can't help but share the latest information with people around him. They all have their own channels and have obtained the information they want.
"Chen Yun? That girl?"
It's unlikely! Because Wen Maidong, because Elder Wen might be able to explain it more clearly, but what about Chen Yun? They all expressed their doubts. It's unlikely! How could a girl have the ability to attract so many people? Seeing that she just graduated and her background is clear, this... is unlikely!
"how do you say?"
"It seems that she is Master Wen's last disciple, and she is even better than him. Also, she is the one who researched the rebirth potion, and she is also the developer of the antidote."
The man standing beside her was clearly well-informed; he was naturally well aware of Shen Yun's abilities and background. She was the one truly favored, but she was so low-key that they didn't even realize there was such a prominent figure around. This time, he came here to test the waters and see if she was willing to step out from behind the scenes and take the lead.
"That's awesome! Oh my god!"
"Oh my God!"
"No?"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise; they hadn't expected this outcome. Could this be true? The rebirth potion—it was the one everyone desperately wanted. Despite all the money and connections, they still couldn't get it. It was all controlled by the military and the government, making it incredibly difficult to obtain.
"Really?"
Really? Is it true? Why does he know so clearly? The people around him couldn't help but look at the person who spoke. What did he mean? How could he understand so clearly?
"Of course, this is her information. Since I was able to find it, I believe you will be able to find it later."
If he could find out the information, he believed that these people would be able to find it. As for why they were able to find it, everyone immediately thought of a reason: the Shen family would not tolerate them being offended. They wanted them to understand clearly so that they could better control the people around them.
