Upon seeing the luxury car convoy, the lobby manager, who had been waiting at the restaurant entrance, quickly spoke up:
"The distinguished guests have arrived! Quickly!"
At the lobby manager's command, countless security personnel rushed out, standing respectfully on both sides of the road, followed by more than twenty young and beautiful ancient-costumed waitstaff, who quickly came out to greet the distinguished guests, creating a grand spectacle.
"Such a grand display, what's going on?"
Seeing this, many passersby gathered around, curious to see.
At this moment, the luxury car convoy had stopped, and Qin Yi, along with the executives of Jiuzhou Group, stepped out of the cars.
Surrounded by a crowd, Qin Yi headed towards Yunxi Pavilion.
In the crowd of onlookers, Zhou Xiaorong finally managed to push her way to the front.
Zhou Xiaorong stood on her tiptoes to look ahead and happened to catch a glimpse of a profile in the center of the crowd.
How could that profile look like Qin Yi?!
In an instant, Zhou Xiaorong felt as if she had been struck by lightning, frozen in place!!!
"Qin Yi?"
"The important person who booked Yunxi Pavilion is Qin Yi?!"
Zhou Xiaorong was dumbfounded.
How could this be?!
Yesterday, Qin Yi just divorced Wan'er; how could he have the money to book Yunxi Pavilion?
When he left, Qin Yi didn't even take the one million his father gave him as if he were a beggar. With Qin Yi's financial status, let alone booking Yunxi Pavilion, it's questionable whether he could even enter Yunxi Pavilion for a meal.
Zhou Xiaorong was stunned. After a while, she recovered.
No, she must have been thinking about Qin Yi too much recently and mistaken him for someone else.
Zhou Xiaorong speculated internally and looked forward again; everyone had already entered the restaurant.
"It must have been an illusion."
"How could that poor Qin Yi turn his life around in just one day?"
Zhou Xiaorong muttered softly, certain that she had mistaken him for someone else.
Without further thought, Zhou Xiaorong took the live-streaming host Vivi and went to another high-end restaurant for dinner.
In the restaurant, the man in the suit had made excellent arrangements.
Just then, the man in the suit came up to Qin Yi:
"Mr. Qin, you have already taken over all the inheritance. I have successfully completed the task Mr. Shen entrusted to me, and it's time for me to leave."
The man in the suit came to bid farewell to Qin Yi.
No sooner had the man in the suit finished speaking than the system's voice suddenly rang out.
[Ding]
[Mission Issued: It won't do to have no trusted aides or subordinates when you've just joined Jiuzhou Company. Retain the man in the suit.]
[Mission Reward: Master-level Art of Managing People]
[Mission Reward: 15 Experience Points]
[Mission Reward: 10 Rise Points]
The system had a new mission.
"Master-level Art of Managing People?!"
Qin Yi exclaimed internally; this time, the system actually rewarded such an amazing skill!
He liked this mission reward very much. He had no experience in managing people, at most only a few. Soon, he would have to manage a large group with a market value of 30 billion and thousands of employees, and his experience was clearly insufficient.
The Master-level Art of Managing People rewarded by the system now was truly a timely help.
With it, Qin Yi would manage Jiuzhou Group and deal with other shareholders with ease and enhanced capability.
Moreover, after interacting for the past two days, Qin Yi was very satisfied with the man in the suit's abilities and efficiency. Retaining him would also be good for him.
"Brother Wei, have you thought about what you'll do after leaving Jiuzhou Group?"
Qin Yi asked.
"What to do?"
Wei Xinghuai, the man in the suit, didn't know what he would do for a while.
He had followed Mr. Shen for ten years and was Mr. Shen's confidant. Now that Mr. Shen had passed away, as the saying goes, a new emperor brings new courtiers; he had no reason to stay.
Most likely, after he left, he would look for a new job.
"Brother Wei, if you are willing, I would like to invite you to continue serving as Chairman Assistant, with your salary doubled."
Qin Yi extended an olive branch.
"Ah?"
Wei Xinghuai was stunned; this was something he had never expected.
Seeing that Wei Xinghuai didn't immediately agree, Qin Yi played the emotional card again:
"Brother Wei, you were once my great-uncle's confidant, loyal to him. Now that I have taken over his business, I am alone and have no one I can trust in the company."
Even though his great-uncle's confidants supported him now, it was uncertain what would happen over time.
Hearing Qin Yi mention Mr. Shen, Wei Xinghuai pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind.
"Since Mr. Qin thinks highly of me, I am willing to serve Mr. Qin."
Wei Xinghuai agreed.
"That's excellent."
Qin Yi responded with a smile.
[Ding]
[Mission Completed: It won't do to have no trusted aides or subordinates when you've just joined Jiuzhou Company. Retain the man in the suit.]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Master-level Art of Managing People]
[Congratulations on obtaining: 15 Experience Points]
[Congratulations on obtaining: 10 Rise Points]
In an instant, a vast memory flooded into Qin Yi's mind.
After digesting it for a while, when Qin Yi opened his eyes again, he had mastered the Master-level Art of Managing People.
The socializing continued; many company executives, with various motives, came to toast Qin Yi, and Qin Yi quickly got to know the executives of Jiuzhou Group.
With Wei Xinghuai introducing them to Qin Yi, Qin Yi learned more about these old foxes.
Two hours later, Zhou Xiaorong successfully negotiated with the live-streaming host Vivi, with only the contract left to sign. Zhou Xiaorong was very proud; she had secured a "major sales general" for their family.
After seeing Vivi off, Zhou Xiaorong called her younger sister, Zhou Shiyu.
"I came to Nanzhou today, why didn't you pick me up?"
As soon as the call connected, Zhou Xiaorong questioned her with extreme dissatisfaction.
On her way, she had specifically messaged Zhou Shiyu, asking her to pick her up at the train station, but she didn't see Zhou Shiyu.
"Also, when you do something wrong, you should know to apologize."
"Did something wrong?"
Hearing her older sister's accusation, Zhou Shiyu couldn't help but retort:
"Even now, do you still think I did something wrong? Isn't it you who values money more than anything else, ungratefully driving away my brother-in-law?"
"Zhou Shiyu, how dare you speak like that?!"
Zhou Xiaorong angrily reprimanded her younger sister.
"Doing this is for our Zhou Family, for your second sister's good. How can that good-for-nothing Qin Yi be worthy of being our Zhou Family's son-in-law?"
Zhou Xiaorong still felt that what they did was absolutely correct.
Moreover, with Vivi signed, their company's development would flourish even more, and their company's assets breaking through one billion would be a matter of the near future.
"Come back to Linhai with me tomorrow and apologize to Mom and Dad,"
Finally, Zhou Xiaorong commanded.
"I'm not going back; I have something to do tomorrow."
Zhou Shiyu refused flatly.
"Something to do? Aren't you off tomorrow? What could you have to do?"
Zhou Xiaorong was puzzled.
The next second, Zhou Xiaorong heard an answer that almost made her vomit blood from anger:
"I'm going to chase brother-in-law, no, I mean, Qin Yi Gege. My second sister has already divorced Qin Yi Gege. She doesn't like Qin Yi Gege, but I do!"
Listening to her younger sister's answer, Zhou Xiaorong trembled all over with anger.
"If you dare to chase that good-for-nothing Qin Yi, believe it or not, Mom and Dad and I will break your legs!"
Zhou Xiaorong angrily scolded.
"Hmph, we'll see."
Zhou Shiyu already had a plan to pursue Qin Yi. With that, she hung up the phone directly.
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry…"
Zhou Xiaorong cursed loudly; Zhou Shiyu was truly a disgrace to their Zhou Family.
On the other side, Qin Yi's socializing also ended, and Qin Yi and the company executives left one after another.
The second largest shareholder, Sun Mingjie, gave a look to a few of his trusted aides, who immediately drove after Sun Mingjie to his villa, clearly to conspire about something!
