262: Chapter 262 Mr. Qin, is he available?
Shen Shihua was the second son of the Shen Family. His father, Shen Rongguang, had two sons and one daughter in total, named Shen Shihui and Shen Qing.
Shen Shihui was involved in politics; although his official rank was not high, the Shen Family still valued him relatively more.
In this day and age, officials always hold a higher status than merchants.
Moreover, Shen Shihua's business was not large, and compared to the true big shots in Qingyun City, the gap was still very significant.
However, this time, Shen Shihua had invited He Long, who possessed a net worth of one hundred billion, to preside over the event, so the situation was quite different.
A big shot of the level of someone with a one hundred billion net worth—even if Shen Shihui saw him, he would have to receive him with the utmost courtesy.
If he happened to invest in Qingyun City, that would be a solid achievement.
To show his respect, Shen Rongguang specially brought the entire Shen Family to the entrance of the ancestral home to welcome them.
A black Maybach soon drove up and stopped at the entrance of the Shen Family's ancestral home.
As He Long and He Rui got out of the car, Shen Rongguang's aged face was filled with smiles.
"It brings light to my humble dwelling! It truly brings light to my humble dwelling!"
"President He, quickly, please, come inside!"
Most of the time, the Shen Family's annual meeting was just a gathering of their own Family members; when had a one-hundred-billion-net-worth big shot ever visited?
Of course, the reception of He Long and his son was mainly led by Shen Shihua, after all, he was the one who had called them over.
"The second son's branch of the Family has made something of themselves."
"Indeed, he was even able to invite a big shot like He Long to attend our Family's annual meeting."
"No wonder the annual meeting had to be postponed; if I could invite such a big shot, I would certainly have the privilege of postponing it too."
"..."
Many people in the Shen Family were discussing this with envy.
Shen Shihua was beaming with radiance; he felt that he could finally be valued by the Family one day, and he had even surpassed his older brother.
Today, he was destined to be the most dazzling person in the Shen Family.
Entering the Shen Family's ancestral home, over a dozen tables had already been set up, which had never happened before; in the past, there were at most three or four tables.
But with He Long here to preside, it meant that the number of people coming to attend the Shen Family's annual meeting today would definitely not be small.
"President He, are the others on their way?" Shen Shihua asked cautiously.
"Rest assured, with one phone call from me, they will naturally have to come and attend," He Long said arrogantly after sitting down.
Shen Shihua was immediately much more at ease, and the smile on his face could simply not be suppressed.
"Young Miss Shen, what about that person called Qin Chuan?"
He Rui specifically scanned the area, looking for Qin Chuan's figure, but failed to find him, so he immediately asked Shen Wangshu.
"Didn't he say he was going to call half of the Dragon Kingdom's influential figures here?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Meng felt extremely awkward and explained, "That was all just his nonsense; there is no need to take it seriously."
Shen Shihua snorted coldly; in such an occasion, he did not want to mention this person named Qin Chuan at all.
Shen Wangshu just smiled lightly, "He should be here soon, but he might not necessarily have the time."
The way she said that made it sound as if Qin Chuan was busy with a thousand tasks every day.
He Rui always felt that Shen Wangshu was defending Qin Chuan a bit too much. If he didn't know Shen Wangshu's capabilities, he would have probably thought she was a love-struck fool.
As for that kind of nonsense from Qin Chuan, who would believe it?
He Rui teased, "Is it that he doesn't have time, or is it that he doesn't dare to come?"
Shen Wangshu did not want to argue too much with He Rui; in any case, time would prove everything.
In the next twenty minutes, people arrived one after another—either this president or that president; none of the people at the Shen Family event had a net worth of less than one billion!
In just twenty minutes, the Shen Family's ancestral home was already packed with guests.
"Hahaha..." Shen Rongguang's smile never stopped, "Shihua, today you are a great contributor!"
"Father, this is only right."
Shen Shihua waved his hand dismissively, "Today, while everyone is here, I also have an important matter to announce."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's gaze turned toward Shen Shihua.
Aunt Meng knew what was going to be announced, and she glanced at her daughter, not knowing what to say. She hoped her daughter wouldn't resent it.
"My daughter, Shen Wangshu, will be engaged to President He's Young Master, He Rui, next month!" Shen Shihua announced directly.
He hadn't consulted with Shen Wangshu at all.
But Shen Wangshu naturally knew about it; when her parents were talking in the room earlier, she had already heard it from outside the door.
Therefore, she was not at all surprised by this announcement, and her beautiful face remained as calm as an ancient well.
As soon as these words were spoken, many people were filled with envy. This is what it means to marry into a wealthy Family!
"Good, good, good..." Shen Rongguang said "good" three times in a row.
Shen Shihui was a bit depressed; once this marriage alliance was finalized, he would have no role in the Shen Family in the future. Although he was involved in politics, his official rank was unfortunately not high.
"A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!" "Congratulations, congratulations!" The sounds of congratulations were endless.
"Mayor Tang has arrived!" Just at this moment, a shout rang out.
Everyone was stunned. Mayor Tang?
"Eldest son, did you call him?" Shen Rongguang looked at his eldest son.
Shen Shihui was also a bit surprised; how could someone of his rank have the qualifications to have contact with Mayor Tang?
However, he was the only one in the entire Shen Family involved in politics, so it must be because of him.
Therefore, Shen Shihui adjusted his suit and tie, coughed twice, and then stood up to welcome him.
"Mayor Tang..." Seeing Mayor Tang, Shen Shihui quickly went up to welcome him, "It brings light to my humble dwelling; I really did not expect that you would be able to come and attend my Shen Family's annual meeting."
Mayor Tang glanced at Shen Shihui, "Oh, it's little Shen."
However, he did not chat much with Shen Shihui, but instead bypassed him and came before Shen Wangshu.
"Young Miss Shen." "Is Mr. Qin present?"
Huh? Mr. Qin? Everyone was stunned.
Originally, when Mayor Tang walked over, He Long had thought he was coming for him. It turned out it was for some Mr. Qin. By the way, who is Mr. Qin?
"He is not here." Shen Wangshu shook her head. Mayor Tang looked slightly disappointed.
"Mayor Tang, please sit." Shen Rongguang said hurriedly. Someone immediately gave up their seat.
"It's bad, it's bad..." Just at this moment, a shout rang out again, but the voice sounded a bit panicked.
"What is the matter, why are you panicking?" Shen Rongguang was a bit displeased. Today was the Shen Family's annual meeting, and there were one-hundred-billion-net-worth tycoons like He Long, as well as Mayor Tang, and various big and small tycoons; to be so panicked, wouldn't that make people laugh at them?
"Master, a lot of cars have arrived outside, and they are all luxury cars!" The person who shouted said nervously.
Shen Rongguang and the members of the Shen Family were all startled upon hearing this, and then quickly went to the entrance of the ancestral home. Even He Long and He Rui ran out to take a look.
Indeed, there was a long motorcade, and one could not see the end of it at a glance. There were far too many.
"That is..." He Long recognized the license plate of the car at the very front. "That is the vehicle of the richest man in Qingyun City!"
The richest man in Qingyun City? Subsequently, as one car after another approached and they saw the license plates clearly, everyone exclaimed repeatedly.
"That is the vehicle of the Chairman of Baotai Group!" "That is the vehicle of the Municipal Party Secretary!" "..." "Ahhh... that military vehicle's license plate... is the vehicle of a Major General from the military!!!"
