Chapter 174: The Enemies Have All Arrived

"Let's go, let's go, the alumni association meeting is about to start."

Several of them walked together to the school's broadcast hall, which could hold several thousand people.

"Hey, who do you guys think the school will invite this time?" Yu Nana asked.

Yebei University had many distinguished alumni. In the past, the school had invited executives from Fortune 100 companies, executive directors from JD, deputy directors from TX Group, and even a vice president surnamed Li from a certain mobile phone brand known as 'Youth Quality.' Each of them was a successful person worth hundreds of millions who had long achieved financial freedom.

In the past, everyone would have known through various gossip channels who the alma mater was inviting.

Unexpectedly, the school was quite tight-lipped this year, and they still didn't know who was invited.

In about ten minutes, the entire broadcast hall was filled.

After everyone was seated, a young female teacher from the administration office, wearing light makeup, walked onto the stage with a microphone and began her opening remarks.

Lu Shanshan recognized that this was the female teacher who had been looking for Zheng Qian everywhere in the hallway.

Could it be...

"Let us invite our distinguished alumnus from the Class of 2016 of Yebei University, Senior Zheng, Zheng Qian!"

Zheng Qian walked onto the stage from the left with a smile on his face.

As he went on stage, several men in suits wearing headsets and black sunglasses kept guarding around Zheng Qian to ensure no strangers approached him.

Pfft!

Cui Jinghui spat out a mouthful of his drink.

"Damn it!"

"What the hell."

"Is this a joke? He actually got selected by the alma mater as a distinguished alumnus?"

The classmates accompanying him all started cursing.

Among those sitting there, who wasn't better than Zheng Qian?

Was the alma mater serious about selecting him as a distinguished alumnus to give a speech to the juniors?

What kind of knowledge could he possibly have? To teach the juniors how to be a kept man?

Who was the blind one who picked him!

In fact, the person who had called Zheng Qian earlier was today's female host, Song Qingli.

Song Qingli had also studied at Yebei University, but after graduation, she chose to stay at the school as a teacher. She was from the Class of 2017, actually a year younger than Zheng Qian.

Song Qingli began to introduce Zheng Qian's identity: "Mr. Zheng Qian is a senior from the Class of 2016. After graduation, he worked diligently, strove for success, started from scratch, and carved out a world of his own in Yebai. He is now one of the directors of Qianhe Group."

"Next, I will pass the microphone to our Senior Zheng and let him share his inspirational story!"

After Song Qingli, representing the school, invited Zheng Qian to the school, Zheng Qian corrected his identity, saying that he was not the chairman of Qianhe Group, just a small director, and hoped that when introducing him, they would be careful to correct it and not get it wrong.

The school didn't understand what Zheng Qian meant. Did he want to keep a low profile, or was their investigation really wrong, and he was just a director?

Zheng Qian promised that he would donate a large sum of money to his alma mater.

Once this was said, the school didn't care whether Zheng Qian was a director or a chairman; they just had to follow instructions and be done with it!

The first thing Zheng Qian said after taking the microphone was: "Everyone, don't be nervous, and don't misunderstand. I'm definitely not a gangster."

He joked and explained, referring to his bodyguards.

Hahaha.

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"My name is Zheng Qian, a graduate of the Class of 2016, your senior."

Zheng Qian didn't feel stage fright after getting the microphone.

"I heard that Xiao Song only graduated in 2017 and stayed on as a teacher. I want to ask you students, is what she said true or false?"

Zheng Qian pointed the microphone at the students in the audience.

The students cheered in unison: "True!"

Song Qingli was a well-known goddess when she was in school. She was only one year younger than Zheng Qian, so it was impossible for Zheng Qian not to have heard of her.

The reason he did this was just to warm up the crowd.

Zheng Qian had participated in two speaking events in total: one was the Maritime Trade Summit, and the other was the recent Kyushu Bidding Conference.

In both cases, the people sitting in the audience were tycoons worth over a hundred million.

Although there were more people today, Zheng Qian didn't show any stage fright. The pressure was not as great as the previous two times; on the contrary, he felt relaxed and at ease.

As soon as Zheng Qian spoke, Song Qingli was deeply impressed.

This was a typical tycoon!

The tycoons the school had invited before were in a similar state to Zheng Qian—quite relaxed, with absolutely no sense of nervousness.

It was obvious that they were tycoon-level figures who frequently gave speeches and reports on stage. The people sitting in the audience were all underlings, and there was no feeling of stage fright at all.

Song Qingli already knew that Zheng Qian actually just wanted to keep a low profile.

This point was different from the tycoons the school had invited before.

Those people wished they could brag about themselves as CEOs or founders.

It was truly rare that Zheng Qian, being so young, already understood this principle.

After a simple warm-up, Zheng Qian began to talk about the "arduous process" of his entrepreneurship.

When Zheng Qian was a freshman, he had been addicted to novels for a while and had some ability to fabricate stories.

Of course, he wouldn't talk about the system, but instead focused on his battle of wits with Yamei Group, Jiyuan Woodworking, and Dafu Timber.

After he finished speaking, the juniors in the audience all looked at Zheng Qian with admiration and reverence.

"Is this guy in a pyramid scheme? How did he make people so stunned?"

"I don't believe a single punctuation mark of it."

Lu Shanshan hesitated for a moment.

She had heard her mother talk about some business matters in Yezhou and knew that a Qianhe Group had indeed emerged recently.

But what Lu Shanshan didn't expect was that Zheng Qian was a director of Qianhe Group?

Lu Shanshan couldn't guarantee whether the processes Zheng Qian described were true, but Yamei Group, Jiyuan Woodworking, and Dafu Timber had indeed become subsidiaries of Qianhe Group now.

Besides that, Qianhe Group also had deep cooperation with Jinxiu Group.

If Zhengxin Shipyard could be compared to the biological son of Qianhe Group, then Jinxiu Group was the goddaughter of Qianhe Group.

Adding all these companies together, the market value was at least over a billion.

As a director of Qianhe Group, Zheng Qian must have had some shares in his hands. He would get so many dividends every year that his hands would go soft, and he was far better than her.

Qianhe Group?

Tang Xingyu lowered his eyebrows and eyes.

He had also heard of this company; it had just emerged recently and was regarded by Tang Xingyu's father as the biggest competitor.

Yuehua Shipping, a subsidiary of Xingyao Group, was recently in a cold war with Qianhe Group.

In other words, before Tang Xingyu had even graduated and started his career, Zheng Qian had already become his father's competitor? Rolling in the vanity fair of the business world?

When Zheng Qian was in school, his grades were indeed at the top, but not outstanding.

He actually had this kind of business acumen and outstanding ability?

Why didn't he see it before?

Everyone had always thought that Zheng Qian was a gigolo who lived off women, but they never expected that he was actually a director of Qianhe Group!

When Zheng Qian took Lu Shanshan away, Cui Jinghui had already quietly told his men to bring some people over, preparing to surround Zheng Qian.

He didn't expect that Zheng Qian, fearing trouble, would bring a few people disguised as his bodyguards.

Cui Jinghui recognized that the man closest to Zheng Qian was the one who kicked and broke his hand that night.

Alright, the enemies have basically all arrived.

Cui Jinghui quietly sent another text message, telling his men to bring more people. He was determined to beat up Zheng Qian and that guy surnamed Duan.

If he couldn't kill them, he would at least skin them alive.
