Chapter 1016: Chapter 1010 Cooperation Conference Begins

Upon hearing Shen Manjun defending Lu Tianxing so fervently, Yang Tiansi frowned slightly, glanced at Lu Tianxing, and said in a solemn tone, ”Mr. Shen, there’s an old saying that goes, you can know a person by their face but not their heart. Some people might use this chance to get close to you on purpose, so you need to be careful.”

”There’s no need for your concern, Young Master Yang. If there’s nothing else, I would appreciate it if you could leave now as I would like to speak with my friend,” Shen Manjun cast a glance at Yang Tiansi and said indifferently.

”Well, since you’ve said that, Mr. Shen, then I’ll take my leave.”

Yang Tiansi glanced at Shen Manjun and then swept his gaze over Lu Tianxing, his expression unchanged. However, once he turned around, his original smile turned into a livid expression as he clenched his fists tightly. He, Yang Tiansi, had never been so ignored in his life; he had to pay back this grudge.

”Oh, Young Master Yang, I have something to tell you.”

Shen Manjun suddenly called out to Yang Tiansi just as he was about to leave.

Yang Tiansi turned around, and his gloomy expression disappeared instantly, replaced by a faint smile on his face, ”Mr. Shen, what else do you have to tell me?”

”Nothing much; I just want to let you know that Mr. Lu is my friend. I promised to ensure his safety in Beijing. If anything unexpected were to happen to Mr. Lu in Beijing, I might get angry. Wouldn’t you agree, Young Master Yang?” Shen Manjun said deliberately, glancing at Yang Tiansi.

”Hehe, you’re right, Mr. Shen. If something were to happen to a friend of mine, I would be angry too.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Tiansi turned and left. Nobody noticed that as he turned, a strong sense of resentment flickered in his eyes, clearly showing his animosity towards Lu Tianxing and Shen Manjun.

Watching Yang Tiansi leave, Lu Tianxing sighed and said, ”Miss Shen, was that really necessary? There’s no need for you to do this; I’m not afraid of the Yang Family. By doing this, you’re putting yourself against them, and Yang Tiansi is someone who lacks magnanimity, which won’t do you any good.”

”Hehe, Mr. Lu, you must be joking. You saved my daughter’s life the day before yesterday, so of course, I must repay you. Moreover, even the Yang Family can’t touch the Shen Family, let alone a small direct descendant like Yang Tiansi. He doesn’t represent the Yang Family, so don’t worry about it.” Shen Manjun looked at Lu Tianxing with a clear gaze, devoid of any teasing or affectionate tone.

If it weren’t for the hint of repressed tenderness deep in Shen Manjun’s eyes, Lu Tianxing would almost suspect that the events of last night were just a dream.

After glancing at Lu Tianxing, Shen Manjun’s gaze fell upon Bai Zhiqing, ”Mr. Bai, congratulations.”

Upon hearing Shen Manjun’s words, Bai Zhiqing was slightly taken aback but replied with a faint smile, ”Congratulations to me? Mr. Shen, I’m not sure what you’re congratulating me on.”

”What am I congratulating you on?”

Shen Manjun glanced at Lu Tianxing and softly said, ”Mr. Bai, if I am not mistaken, no matter how fierce the upcoming bidding event may be, the Angel Group’s chosen partner will ultimately be Bai’s Group. Am I right, Miss Bai?”

”Mr. Shen, what are you talking about? How could that be possible?”

”Hehe, Mr. Bai, you don’t need to deny it. After all, I am the Sect Leader of the Shen Family, so I have some discernment. However, rest assured, I’m not a gossip; I won’t spread the word.” Shen Manjun said with a light chuckle.

Just then, a master of ceremonies stepped onto the front platform of the hall and adjusted the microphone.

”Welcome, everyone, to the Angel Group’s business cooperation conference...”

A voice resonated through the hall, immediately drawing everyone’s attention to the front.

Shen Manjun swept his gaze over Lu Tianxing, said his goodbyes to Bai Zhiqing, and quickly returned to his seat.

Following this, people from various departments in Beijing gave brief speeches.

After several leaders had finished speaking, the host began, ”Now I announce the official start of the cooperative conference. Let’s give a warm welcome to the Angel Group’s chairman, Angel, as she comes up on stage.”

”Woooosh!”

Suddenly, thunderous applause erupted, and all eyes immediately focused on the stage. The previous murmurs vanished instantly, and a look of sternness and solemnity appeared on everyone’s face.

Angel was dressed in a red evening gown. Her golden hair was not tied up but rather let loose, and the crystal necklace on her neck complemented her fair skin. The tight evening dress perfectly accentuated her alluring figure.

Despite the crowd’s gaze, Angel showed no signs of stage fright. Instead, she walked to the podium with a faint smile.

Angel’s appearance instantly drew everyone’s attention; wealthy, powerful, and beautiful, she was undeniably the ideal woman in every man’s heart.

Abby followed closely behind Angel, standing a meter away from her. Her gaze was coldly surveying the surroundings, ready to handle crises from all directions.

Angel approached the podium and smiled slightly at the crowd, her voice enchanting as it resonated in everyone’s ears: ”China is a nation with a five-thousand-year history, a country full of mysteries. In our Western words, the Eastern China is like a sleeping dragon, resting on the land and nurturing the descendants of the dragon. It might be unbelievable, but in my heart, I have always longed to come to China, to understand this mysterious country, and even hope that one day, I can find a man here whom I love and who loves me...”

”I hope to become a genuine cooperative partner with the companies here, sharing blessings and hardships. Now, I would like to see the proposal documents from various companies and hear about your expectations for the future.”

Angel’s voice echoed through the hall via the microphone, clearly transmitted to each person’s ears.

As Angel’s voice fell, representatives from various companies began to step onto the stage, handing their proposals to Angel and presenting their company’s vision and future development plans.

Ten minutes passed, with one person stepping down and another stepping up, repeating the cycle.

Time ticked away, and every face was filled with tension. Even those veteran company presidents could not suppress their anxiety, frequently casting their gaze toward Angel to observe her expression.

They knew well that regardless of who ended up as Angel Group’s partner, the company’s development momentum would be unstoppable for a while, beyond anyone’s control.

Because Angel Group is one of the world’s top groups, its partners are spread globally. If you dare to harm its partners, it’s akin to going against Angel Group itself. Faced with Angel Group and its alliance, how many companies could withstand it?
