Chapter 37 So you really are the mastermind behind it all!
The wind blew through Su Yunxi’s beautiful black hair, exuding a captivating aura.
Chen Xuan subconsciously asked, "Yunxi, why are you here?"
As expected, Su Yunxi shot him a disdainful glance and said, "I was afraid you'd break your promise, so I came to pick you up. Besides, do you even know where the opening ceremony for Yi Shen Pharmaceutical is being held?"
Chen Xuan was immediately embarrassed.
Last night, he had only agreed to attend the opening ceremony with Su Yunxi, but he hadn't asked where it was being held.
"Get in the car. The opening ceremony for Yi Shen Pharmaceutical is about to begin. You're the main character today..."
Su Yunxi stopped mid-sentence, realizing she had let slip a secret, and immediately closed her mouth.
But Chen Xuan was still flustered and hadn't understood what Su Yunxi meant.
Seeing that Chen Xuan seemed not to have heard clearly, Su Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, a surprise gift was more meaningful when it came with both surprise and joy.
Following this, Chen Xuan got into Su Yunxi's car, and they headed for the Sihai Grand Hotel.
The Sihai Grand Hotel was one of Jiangzhou's top hotels. Hosting a banquet here wasn't just about being rich; it required a highly distinguished status.
Even wealthy families like the Li family wouldn't be allowed to hold a banquet here, as the hotel feared it would lower its prestige.
At this moment, the parking lot in front of the hotel was filled with luxury cars. If Chen Xuan's Audi A8 were parked here, it would be completely unremarkable.
However, the red Ferrari supercar speeding towards the venue was still a striking sight!
Su Yunxi led Chen Xuan through the hotel's back entrance directly to the venue.
At the entrance to the venue, a crowd had already gathered.
Everyone was dressed in suits and ties, appearing exceptionally distinguished.
These were all core leaders of Yi Shen Pharmaceutical and, by another identity, major figures in Jiangzhou's local pharmaceutical industry.
They were all waiting respectfully at the entrance to the venue!
When they saw Su Yunxi and Chen Xuan approaching, they all swarmed forward.
"Hello, Miss Su!"
"Miss Su, you've finally arrived!"
"Miss Su, please come in quickly!"
Su Yunxi wore a faint smile, waving to greet all the magnates. Facing so many influential figures, she showed no sign of being intimidated!
Soon, the magnates noticed Chen Xuan and rushed over, "You must be Mr. Chen. We've heard so much about you."
Chen Xuan glanced at these pharmaceutical industry magnates, thinking, *Do I know you? And you've heard so much about me?*
But he still smiled and said, "Hello, I've heard so much about you too."
He knew that these people were greeting him only because of Su Yunxi, so he shook hands with each of them in response.
These magnates, whom he usually only saw on financial news, were now looking at him with such enthusiasm. This was something Chen Xuan wouldn't have even dared to imagine a few months ago.
Chen Xuan frowned, then seemed to understand something. Staring at Su Yunxi's retreating back, he said with a wry smile, "No wonder even Fan Jin and Hei Hu had to seek you out. So you're the mastermind behind Yi Shen Pharmaceutical!"
"Yunxi, you've made me suffer quite a bit!" Chen Xuan complained.
Su Yunxi, who was close to Chen Xuan, heard his words and turned her head to give him a sly smile, pouting, "I didn't intend to hide it from you. It's you who's too slow, are you blaming me?"
Facing the playful Su Yunxi, Chen Xuan shrugged helplessly.
He was indeed too slow; otherwise, he should have figured this out long ago.
At the same time!
Inside the venue, the buffet tables were laden with many precious delicacies: '82 Lafite, caviar, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, truffles, top-grade steaks... all available without limit.
"Wow, top-grade caviar! They say a spoonful costs thousands!"
Li Jiajia's eyes lit up as she stared at the caviar placed nearby.
She had only had the good fortune to eat a small bowl of caviar once, and it was a subpar product.
Looking at the unlimited supply of top-grade caviar, she couldn't help but lick her lips.
Without delay, she eagerly scooped herself a large bowl and began to eat ravenously.
Xu Shijie gazed at the grand banquet hall, which resembled a palace, and sighed, "Indeed, Doctor Li is just a minor shareholder of Yi Shen Pharmaceutical. That medical gathering can't even compare to the opening ceremony of Yi Shen Pharmaceutical."
"In the future, if I work hard, figures like Doctor Li, let alone that good-for-nothing Chen Xuan, will all be trampled under my feet!"
Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Xu Shijie felt his future was incredibly bright and clenched his fist tightly.
At this moment, he was even more eager to curry favor with the new president. If he could gain the favor of the new president, he could climb higher faster.
Currently, Xu Shijie had been promoted to director, and many of his subordinates began to fawn over him. He waved them away like he was swatting flies.
Just then, a voice with a hint of a smile sounded, "Xu Shijie, I heard you have many connections? You've already reached the director position before Yi Shen Pharmaceutical has even opened?"
Xu Shijie looked up and saw a middle-aged man approaching.
He immediately put on a fawning smile.
Xu Shijie quickly tugged at Li Jiajia, who was eating ravenously, and introduced the middle-aged man, "Jiajia, let me introduce you. This is General Manager Han. He's not only the General Manager in charge of sales at Yi Shen Pharmaceutical but also a member of the top-tier Han family!"
He then pointed to Li Jiajia and said, "General Manager Han, this is my fiancée, Li Jiajia."
Top-tier family?
Li Jiajia's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Hello, General Manager Han!"
General Manager Han glanced at Li Jiajia, who hadn't even wiped her mouth clean, and a hint of disdain appeared in his heart.
Although her figure was alright, she was just a country bumpkin.
The news of Xu Shijie replacing Fan Jin as director made many people wary of Fan Jin.
However, this General Manager Han was not afraid, as he was himself a member of Jiangzhou's top-tier Han family!
Xu Shijie was also tactful and flattered, "General Manager Han? What connections do I have? I just know a few good friends. But even if I knew more people, I would still be at your service!"
"Then follow me and work hard," General Manager Han said.
Xu Shijie had a sudden idea and asked, "Um... General Manager Han, do you know who the new president is? Can you reveal it in advance?"
He wanted to give a gift to the new president but was afraid he wouldn't be able to meet the new president privately. Knowing that General Manager Han was resourceful, he asked.
If he knew the president's identity in advance, he could present his gift discreetly!
General Manager Han glanced at the jade box in Xu Shijie's hand and said with a playful smile, "Are you preparing a gift for the new president?"
Seeing that he had been found out, Xu Shijie could only nod awkwardly.
"What kind of gift?"
"A pill I bought at an auction."
General Manager Han chuckled, "So it's that miraculous pill. You're quite a thoughtful person. I wanted a pill like that too, but unfortunately, I didn't get one."
No wonder this guy was promoted so quickly; he was so good at pleasing others.
Xu Shijie quickly said, "General Manager Han, if you tell me the identity of the new president, I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you!"
General Manager Han was slightly tempted but shook his head, "Unfortunately, I don't know the identity of the new president either. However, later, a distinguished figure from our Yi Shen Pharmaceutical will announce the identity of the new president."
"Ah? You don't know either?"
Xu Shijie frowned immediately, feeling a bit disheartened. But he still said, "General Manager Han, I'll give you a pill another day."
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly echoed through the venue.
"The Chairman has arrived! Go and welcome them!"
The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and then, many wealthy individuals threw their plates or wine glasses onto the tables and rushed in a frenzy towards the venue entrance.
General Manager Han's expression changed, and he hurried out.
Xu Shijie was greatly shaken and excitedly said, "Let's go, we must go and welcome the Chairman!"
