Chapter 1 The Grand Opening

The headquarters of Daybreak Group had its doors wide open.

On either side of the entrance stood two rows of tall figures. On the left, all were slender beauties in qipaos (traditional Chinese dresses), while on the right were security personnel in formal black suits.

At the main entrance, Ye Wuhen, Ye Haitang, Ye Wei, and others were dressed in magnificent formal attire, clearly having taken great care with their appearance.

In the outermost area, a dense crowd of reporters had gathered, snapping photos incessantly. Unfortunately, they were all blocked by dedicated security personnel, unable to push their way through no matter how hard they tried.

Many reporters were even doing live reports on the spot.

"Dear viewers, we are currently at the entrance of Daybreak Group's headquarters. As you can see, the entire Daybreak Group is under tight security. It is said that a VIP will be arriving to present awards to Daybreak Group!"

......

At this moment, Ye Tian, dressed in a black suit, wearing white gloves and a bow tie, walked over with imposing momentum, followed by a group of Ye family executives.

"Father!"

Ye Wuhen and the others greeted him respectfully.

"Hmm, all of you perk up. The guests will be here soon, don't tarnish our image."

"Yes!"

Ye Wuhen and the others responded in unison.

Standing in the back row, Lin Zinuo was frantically sending messages to Su Mo, feeling anxious and irritated.

She muttered to herself, cursing Su Mo.

"Damn it, answer your messages! Come back quickly!"

......

At this moment, a long, understated, and luxurious business car drove in.

The door opened, and a fiery-tempered, tall middle-aged man stepped out.

"Brother Ye Tian!"

"Brother Zhang, haha! I didn't expect you to come in person, you're giving me too much face."

Ye Tian laughed heartily. The person who came was none other than Zhang Qiwai, the patriarch of the Zhang family and the controller of Scorching Sun Group.

Zhang Qiwai raised his hand and patted Ye Tian on the shoulder.

"You're really not being a good friend, hogging all the credit, making me nothing but envious."

"Haha, you flatter me. Your Zhang Ru is also quite good. After being defeated, he didn't back down, and single-handedly led people to support us. The higher-ups have taken notice of that."

"Zhang Ru is alright, but he can't compare to you. Forget it, let's not talk about that. Anyway, congratulations."

"Thank you!"

Ye Tian responded in a very good mood.

"Hey, Ye Tian, aren't you going to welcome us?"

A sudden voice rang out.

Ye Tian looked over. Just now, a row of specially modified luxury cars had parked next to them.

Distinguished people stepped out, and the one who spoke was a rather old man.

This old man was none other than a member of the Xiao family, and the others were representatives of other families.

"Elder Xiao!"

Ye Tian stepped forward very politely and shook his hand.

"You're too kind, but you really did a great job this time."

Elder Xiao smiled amiably.

"You flatter me, it was just luck."

Ye Tian responded calmly. Although he was very happy, he didn't feel arrogant at all.

Just then, a manager of Daybreak Group ran over, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and hastily reported.

"They're here!"

"Roll out the carpet!"

Ye Tian's eyes sharpened.

Immediately, Daybreak Group employees rolled out the red carpet. The reason they hadn't done it earlier was to keep the carpet in its cleanest state to welcome the VIPs.

Before long, a row of military vehicles drove in.

Then, the doors opened, and soldiers in uniform stepped out, scattering to stand on either side.

Afterward, the doors of the middle vehicle opened, and Xiao Wen and Chen Shan, dressed in proper formal attire, stepped out with straight and forceful strides.

"Lord Xiao Wen, Lord Chen Shan! Welcome!"

Ye Tian and the others straightened their expressions and immediately went to greet them.

"Mr. Ye Tian, Elder Xiao..."

Xiao Wen and Chen Shan extended their hands and shook hands with Ye Tian and the others.

"It's truly an honor for Daybreak Group to have you two here in person. We are extremely grateful."

Ye Tian said with a beaming smile.

"There's no need to be so polite. In fact, we should be the ones thanking you. Without your support, things would have been troublesome."

"You're too kind, we just did what we could. It's just a pity that we couldn't help more in the end, a task left undone."

"Let's not mention that matter, you've already done your best."

Xiao Wen directly interrupted Ye Tian's words, a trace of imperceptible strange emotion flashing in his eyes. However, he concealed it very well, and it disappeared in an instant.

Not everyone is so magnanimous. For example, Xiao Wen couldn't get over that hurdle, he just suppressed it.

"Alright, then let's go inside, everything is ready."

Ye Tian responded with high EQ.

"Please!"

Xiao Wen and the others nodded in response.

So a large group of people marched towards the tallest building in the center of Daybreak Group.

A moment later, the group arrived at the banquet hall on the top floor of Daybreak Group's headquarters.

The entire banquet hall was decorated in gold and splendor, with extremely luxurious natural crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

All the tables were made of the finest rosewood, covered with white tablecloths, and the tableware on top was all made of pure gold.

Even the chairs were golden, with golden dragon patterns carved on the backrests.

At this time, young and beautiful women brought up sumptuous and luxurious food and wine in an orderly manner.

After entering the banquet hall, everyone naturally picked up their wine glasses and began to chat with each other.

Apart from Ye Tian, the most popular were Ye Wuhen and Ye Wei. Many younger members of the visiting families came up to congratulate them.

Ye Wuhen and Ye Wei greeted them warmly.

After all, as the eldest son, Ye Wuhen held a pivotal position in the Ye family, which others could not compare to. Moreover, it was said that they had made the greatest contribution this time, and were about to soar to great heights.

"Congratulations, Brother Wuhen, we brothers are really envious. Maybe you will receive meritorious service this time."

"That's right, you've made such a great contribution out of nowhere. I heard that you also rescued Lord Zhang Wei. That's simply an incredible figure. When that old man sneezes in the scientific community, the entire scientific community trembles!"

"It's really incomparable, our elders haven't stopped scolding us."

"You're too kind, it's hard to say about this time's meritorious service. Maybe it will be awarded to my younger sister Ye Wei. Actually, it doesn't matter, we are all family."

"What's the difference between younger sister Ye Wei getting it and you getting it?"

Of course, although Ye Wuhen and Ye Wei were chatting with these people, their minds were not here at all, but on Xiao Wen and Chen Shan. But the two were chatting with their elders, and they couldn't find a suitable opportunity to interject.

However, there has always been an iron rule: someone's happiness is someone else's unhappiness.

Ye Haitang and other siblings stood not far away, looking at Ye Wuhen and Ye Wei busying themselves, their expressions also displeased.

There was even a hint of jealousy, but due to the importance of today, no one dared to speak up and make a scene.

As for Qian Chengxue, she stood aside with a very cold expression, holding a wine glass in her hand, sipping it from time to time.
