The hall was very lively, filled with desserts and red wine.
Beautiful waitresses walked through the crowd with trays. With a wave, they would provide service.
Wu Tian couldn't help but say, "How is this an opening ceremony? This is clearly a party!"
Tang Qi smiled and replied, "It's pretty much like a party. It's just a formality anyway."
"The most important thing isn't the opening ceremony, but that the daughter of the Tianbao Group will come out to speak."
"Most of us haven't even seen this daughter before, so of course, we have to come and get a glimpse of her."
"The daughter of the Tianbao Group?" Wu Tian was slightly taken aback, and his expression turned a bit unpleasant. "So that's how it is."
"Speaking of which..." Tang Qi asked Wu Tian again, "I remember that the reason the Tianbao Group wanted to befriend you was at the suggestion of that daughter, right?"
"Since that's the case, have you met her in private?"
Mentioning this reminded Wu Tian of their previous meal, and his heart felt even more uncomfortable.
He said coldly, "I have never met her."
"It's good that I'm here today. Let me see what kind of extraordinary abilities she possesses to be so secretive."
Wu Tian's reaction made Tang Qi pause.
She asked doubtfully, "What happened between you two? Why do you seem angry?"
"You don't need to worry about that," Wu Tian said coldly. "Look, someone is coming to find you over there. You should go deal with them."
"How strange," Tang Qi muttered, but she didn't have time to dwell on it and soon went to greet others.
The waiting time passed quickly.
The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and Old Bai walked onto the stage.
Old Bai was usually responsible for the external dealings of the Tianbao Group, so everyone recognized him.
As soon as Old Bai stepped onto the stage, he was met with warm applause.
Old Bai greeted everyone and gave a speech, essentially saying that they were new to the area and hoped for everyone's support, and that they would do business together and make money, urging everyone not to be polite.
Such words were basically pleasantries.
If other groups were to set up in the county, they might need to pave the way.
But what was the scale of the Tianbao Group? With its arrival, everyone else would come to curry favor with it.
Because such speeches were essentially no different from meaningless talk.
Everyone just clapped their hands as a gesture of acknowledgment, but their minds were still focused on the daughter of the Tianbao Group.
After finishing his speech, Old Bai smiled and bowed to everyone, finally getting to the main point.
He said to the crowd, "I know what everyone is waiting for. So, without further ado, let us invite our daughter to the stage!"
The lights in the entire hall suddenly turned on.
Everyone erupted in enthusiastic applause, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"Here she comes!"
Tang Qi exclaimed excitedly, as even she had no prior information about the daughter of the Bai family.
Wu Tian, however, did not respond to her. His gaze remained fixed on a corner of the stage.
He had a lot of grievances against this so-called young lady who had previously played him, and today he would finally get to see what kind of person she was!
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, from a corner of the stage, a girl in an evening gown, with the crisp sound of high heels, slowly walked onto the stage.
And the moment she appeared, everyone involuntarily let out gasps of amazement.
She was a girl who could not help but be admired.
She wore a white evening gown, spotless from head to toe, like a pure white orchid.
She was exceptionally beautiful, her beauty almost indescribable.
In short, anyone who saw her would think they were witnessing a fairy descending to earth.
"My heavens, she's so beautiful..."
Even a beauty like Tang Qi couldn't help but exclaim.
She looked at Wu Tian and said, "See? She's so beautiful!"
But then she froze.
Because Wu Tian didn't answer her. Instead, he stared intently at the stage, his body beginning to tremble slightly.
"What... what's wrong with you?" Tang Qi found Wu Tian's reaction very strange.
Wu Tian still didn't answer Tang Qi.
He looked as if he had seen something terrifying, his eyeballs trembling, and even his aura became unstable.
"How can it be her..." Wu Tian said tremblingly, "This is impossible, this is impossible! Bai Ruoqi... how can it be Bai Ruoqi?"
Wu Tian truly couldn't believe what he was seeing.
If the person on stage wasn't Bai Ruoqi, then who else could it be? It was undoubtedly Bai Ruoqi!
"Bai Ruoqi... Bai Ruoqi... surname Bai..." Wu Tian continued to murmur, "So that's how it is. No wonder you refused to see me. You... you have this kind of identity!"
The past events flashed through Wu Tian's mind.
He finally understood. No wonder Bai Ruoqi had suddenly disappeared before, and no wonder Bai Ruoqi could destroy a company worth hundreds of millions with a single phone call.
She was the daughter of the Tianbao Group!
In this world, were there any things she couldn't do?
Waves of shock crashed upon Wu Tian's Baihui acupoint.
Wu Tian felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
Such a sight made Tang Qi's face turn pale.
Tang Qi quickly supported Wu Tian and asked nervously, "Wu Tian, Wu Tian, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Wu Tian shook his head at her. With great effort, he circulated the spiritual energy within his body and managed to stand firm.
On stage, Bai Ruoqi was delivering her speech.
She was calm and composed, her every move exuding nobility, truly no different from the legendary goddess.
But Wu Tian didn't hear a single word she said.
His mind was in chaos, and he had almost lost the ability to think.
He had been wondering why the Tianbao Group had suddenly become involved with him.
Now it seemed that it had nothing to do with the Tianbao Group; it was entirely Bai Ruoqi's idea.
After a long silence, Wu Tian's thoughts finally began to return. He couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
He still had many questions, and only Bai Ruoqi could help him answer them.
It seemed he had to go and have a good talk with Bai Ruoqi.
He wanted to ask this woman why she had concealed her identity so thoroughly, and also why she had played him like this.
He had to get to the bottom of everything before he could rest!
