After CCTV arrived, soon, other media outlets followed.
Southern Metropolis!
Economic Weekly!
Mango Media!
…
In just half an hour.
More than a dozen national media outlets and forty to fifty provincial media outlets arrived, along with several major domestic portal websites.
Among them, some media outlets even sent their directors and chief reporters!
Xu Minghui’s face looked grim.
He had thought that with a little maneuvering, he could make Lin Jingzhi the laughingstock of the industry, but the development of events far exceeded his expectations.
Or rather, he was somewhat dumbfounded.
How could Lin Jingzhi, in just one night, manage to invite so many heavyweight media outlets to support her?
How did she do it?
Could it be Ye Qiu?
Xu Minghui glanced at Ye Qiu, then dismissed the thought, not believing that a gang leader could invite so many media outlets.
After all, many of those present today were official media.
This must be Lin Jingzhi’s ability!
In fact, not only was Xu Minghui shocked, but even Lin Jingzhi herself was astonished.
She was already surprised that Ye Qiu could invite CCTV and Dong Si, but what was even more surprising was that dozens of national media outlets showed up all at once.
You must know, usually only when the country holds major events would these media outlets gather together.
Lin Jingzhi dared not even dream that so many media outlets would come here today just to cover the opening of her new company.
For a moment, she was so touched that she wanted to hug Ye Qiu and kiss him hard.
“Darling, thank you.”
Lin Jingzhi, without caring about the people present, said affectionately to Ye Qiu.
“Sister Lin, between you and me, no thanks are needed, this is what I should do.”
Ye Qiu glanced at Xu Minghui and said with a smile, “It’s just that some people who wanted to see you become a joke might be disappointed.”
Hmph!
What’s there to be smug about?
Xu Minghui said indifferently, “President Lin, I really underestimated you, I didn’t expect you to invite so many media outlets, impressive.”
“But President Lin, don’t forget, media alone isn’t enough.”
“If the opening ceremony doesn’t even have a single guest, you’ll still become the laughingstock of the industry.”
Lin Jingzhi said coldly, “No need for President Xu to worry, the guests will be here soon.”
Xu Minghui sneered, “Where are the guests? Why don’t I see them?”
“Are you blind, can’t you see the guests have arrived?” As Ye Qiu spoke, a Maybach stopped at the entrance of the group.
The car door opened.
A young man helped an elderly man step out.
Xu Minghui narrowed his eyes.
Although he didn’t recognize the two, seeing the elderly man dressed in a black Tang suit, holding a dragon-headed cane, with an extraordinary aura, he realized this old man had some status.
“President Lin, congratulations.”
“The Dragon King graces us with his presence, welcome.”
The newcomers were none other than the Dragon King and Zhao Yun.
The Dragon King took out a cheque from his pocket, handed it to Lin Jingzhi, and said, “A small token, please accept it, President Lin.”
Lin Jingzhi looked down and saw the cheque was for 100 million, quickly refusing, “Dragon King, I’m already grateful that you came, how can I accept your money, please take it back.”
The Dragon King smiled, “President Lin, this is a small gesture from me, please accept it!”
Lin Jingzhi glanced at Ye Qiu, who nodded, and only then did she take the cheque, “Thank you, Dragon King.”
“No need to be polite, President Lin, you go ahead with your work, I’ll have a word with Ye Qiu.” The Dragon King walked up to Ye Qiu.
“Master!”
The Dragon King said, about to bow.
Ye Qiu quickly supported the Dragon King, saying, “Dragon King, in your presence, I will always be the junior, you don’t need to bow.”
“Looking back, if it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
“I will always remember your kindness.”
The Dragon King was very pleased, sighing, “Back then, I only thought you were a very promising young man, I didn’t expect that in such a short time, you’d become the master of Dragon Gate.”
“Little Ye, you’re truly remarkable.”
“By the way, there’s something I’d like to ask of you.”
Ye Qiu asked, “What is it?”
The Dragon King said, “Zhao Yun is a rare talent, it’s a waste for him to always stay by this old man’s side, I’d like to ask you to find a role for him.”
Ye Qiu understood, the Dragon King wanted Zhao Yun to work under him.
“Brother Zhao, what do you think?” Ye Qiu asked.
Zhao Yun replied, “I want to stay in Jiangzhou, so I can take care of the Dragon King.”
Ye Qiu immediately had an idea, saying, “Brother Zhao, how about I put you in charge of Jiangzhou?”
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Qiu in shock, “You mean you want me to be the boss of Jiangzhou?”
“Yes.” Ye Qiu nodded with a smile.
“No, no.” Zhao Yun said, “I’ve never been a boss before, I’m afraid I won’t manage well.”
“Brother Zhao, don’t be afraid, I hadn’t been a master before either, had I?” Ye Qiu smiled, “Besides, the Dragon King used to be the boss of Jiangzhou, he has experience, he can guide you.”
“Dragon King, what do you think of my arrangement?”
The Dragon King laughed heartily, “I think it’s good.”
“Since the Dragon King also thinks it’s good, let’s happily settle it.”
The reason Ye Qiu made Zhao Yun the boss of Jiangzhou wasn’t just to give face to the Dragon King, he had his own considerations.
First, Zhao Yun had helped him before, and doing this was to repay Zhao Yun’s kindness.
Second, Zhao Yun was a loyal person and wouldn’t betray him.
Then, most of the Dragon Gate disciples in Jiangzhou were former subordinates of the Dragon King, Zhao Yun was familiar with them, making management easier.
Finally, Dragon Gate was in need of talent, and as long as someone capable wanted to join, Ye Qiu naturally welcomed them.
“Zhao Yun, Little Ye has made you the boss of Jiangzhou, why aren’t you thanking him?” the Dragon King reminded.
Zhao Yun said gratefully, “Ye Qiu, thank you.”
“Zhao Yun, what’s with the way you talk?” The Dragon King’s face darkened, “Call him Master!”
Zhao Yun then realized he had misspoken and quickly said, “Thank you, Master.”
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Brother Zhao, whether I’m the master of Dragon Gate or a doctor, you can call me by my name, because in my heart, you’re my brother.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yun felt a warmth in his heart.
Business done.
“Dragon King, I have things to attend to, so I won’t keep you, I’ll come to your place for a drink another day.” After Ye Qiu finished, he instructed Sun Mengjie, “Xiao Jie, take the Dragon King and Brother Zhao to the guest seats.”
“Alright.” Sun Mengjie led the Dragon King and Zhao Yun away.
As soon as they left, Xu Minghui’s voice rang out:
“I thought it was some big shot, turns out it’s just a street thug.”
“President Lin, can’t you find any guests?”
“Otherwise, why would you invite such low-class people?”
Before Lin Jingzhi could respond, suddenly, a car stopped at the entrance.
Immediately after, someone stepped out of the car.
In an instant, Xu Minghui’s face changed.
