The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Upon hearing the sound, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Yan's eyes, and he immediately turned his head to look.

Upon seeing the person approaching, he quickly stepped forward, extended both hands, and warmly shook hands with them.

"Mr. Li, why did you come in person?"

The newcomer was a portly man, clearly suffering from overnutrition.

This person is very famous in Guangzhou.

He was considered one of the wealthiest businessmen in Guangzhou.

Li Yan never expected that his business opening would attract such a big shot.

Seeing Li Yan shake hands with him so warmly, the obese man showed no disgust on his face. Instead, he smiled and shook hands with Li Yan in a friendly manner.

Congratulations on your grand opening!

"You gave up your noble status to go into business, don't you find it tiring?"

"If you need anything in the future, just tell me, and I'll do my best to help!"

The obese man raised his hand and patted Li Yan on the shoulder, speaking in a serious tone.

The obese man had naturally heard about Li Yan's situation.

Moreover, he was extremely envious of Li Yan's baronial title.

These merchants naturally paid attention to the affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

What these people value most is profit.

Wherever there is profit, there they are.

Although he was of average appearance, he was extremely shrewd in business.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty first appeared, he felt it was a project with great potential, but he just hadn't had time to take action.

By the time he realized what was happening, all the baronial titles in the Great Zhou Dynasty had already been snapped up, and Li Yan was one of the beneficiaries.

He did this today to gain an advantage.

If he could get closer to Li Yan, he should be able to find out immediately when Li Yan sells titles again and have the opportunity to buy one.

He doesn't lack money at all; what he lacks is this sense of novelty and fun.

That's why he suddenly appeared outside Li Yan's company today.

Seeing the obese man being so polite to him, Li Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he responded warmly with a few words.

People who have been through the ups and downs of the business world generally possess this level of emotional intelligence.

He naturally knew the obese man's intentions.

With just a few words, he skillfully defused the other party's probing.

The obese man didn't mind and warmly walked into the lobby with Li Yan.

"You'd better give me the head seat at this ribbon-cutting ceremony, so I can share in your good fortune. Maybe I'll have such a good thing happen to me next time!" the fat man said to Li Yan as they walked.

"Of course, it's an honor for our company to have you here for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and I certainly won't refuse!" Li Yan readily agreed.

Having this man cut the ribbon would only generate publicity for the company.

Why not do something that benefits you?

He didn't care what the man was planning.

All he wants now is to get his company back on track.

He won't lose out if this kind of thing, which is consensual, happens a few more times.

The obese man's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction at Li Yan's sensible manner.

Such a person is indeed very suitable for development in the business world.

Once everyone had arrived, Li Yan naturally stood at the very front.

When the guests in the audience saw Li Yan standing on the stage, they all showed a hint of envy in their eyes.

They are now lamenting why they don't have such good fortune.

If they could have bought the baronial title in the Great Zhou Dynasty, perhaps they would be the ones standing on that high platform now.

Li Yan is not very well-known in Guangcheng City.

Moreover, within Li Yan's circle, everyone knows that he was once destitute and had no investment value whatsoever.

However, to their surprise, Li Yan would rise again.

Now, when they see Li Yan standing on the high platform, looking down at them with a superior attitude, they feel not only jealousy but also an undisguised envy.

Li Yan's identity is now completely different from theirs.

Even the wealthiest businessmen in Guangcheng City have sided with Li Yan, so how could they possibly have the power to take action against him?
Those who had grudges against Li Yan turned pale upon seeing this scene.

They are now filled with regret, realizing they shouldn't have attacked Li Yan in the first place. Seeing Li Yan's comeback fills them with mixed emotions.

They came to Li Yan's company this time to make up for the mistakes they made back then.

Seeing Li Yan's current success, they felt both envious and secretly pleased.

They now only hope that Li Yan can forget about them, these insignificant people.

If Li Yan really wanted to retaliate, they would be powerless to stop him.

On the other side, those who were unaware of the situation were shocked to see the most powerful person in Guangcheng City appear there, and they began to whisper among themselves.

Why would the richest man in Guangcheng come to Li Yan's company?

"Didn't you say this was just a small company? How come they have such a big reputation?"

"What is Mr. Li trying to do? Does he want to marry his daughter to Li Yan?"

"..."

People around them were talking and speculating about the relationship between President Li and Li Yan.

Those in the know, upon hearing these discussions, flashed a hint of disdain in their eyes and said indifferently, "Don't speculate if you don't know!"

"Don't you know anything about the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Go back and spend more time online to catch up on the latest news!"

"Once you know what kind of existence the Great Zhou Dynasty is, you'll understand why even the most powerful people would appear in Li Yan's company!"

After the person next to him finished speaking calmly, he turned his gaze to Li Yan.

Li Yan can now be considered the most powerful person in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

These people could not even see the face of the rulers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, these people were able to receive an audience with the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is a very memorable event for them, modern people.

Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty is fictional and a lie.

However, their identities have now been recognized by the Kingdom of Kyushu.

In other words, Li Yan is no longer on the same level as them.

If we oppose Li Yan now, we are making an enemy of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, or even the Nine Boat Kingdom.

Those who oppose the Nine Boats Kingdom cannot gain a foothold here, let alone do business.

Therefore, after hearing the explanation from those around them, they patiently added another sentence.

Upon hearing this, the people nearby all took out their phones and started searching.

When they saw the words "Great Zhou Dynasty", their eyes showed shock.

Their opinion of Li Yan changed once again.

While these people were discussing amongst themselves, Li Yan had already stood next to President Li on the platform. President Li, meanwhile, held scissors and looked at the red ribbon in front of him.

With that one cut, his company and Li Yan's company were connected.

By making contact with Li Yan, we might be able to establish some connection with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had just been established, and it was a time when everything needed to be rebuilt.

Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a newly established dynasty. If one can do business in the Great Zhou Dynasty, one will surely make a fortune.

Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has suddenly appeared in his field of vision, President Li feels full of energy, as if he has returned to the time when he was young and starting his own business.

"Can I cut it now?" President Li turned to look at Li Yan and asked with a smile.

“We’re really destined to meet, we both have the surname Li, and we might even have been family hundreds of years ago. If you ever need anything in the future, just come to me. I’ll definitely help if I can!” Mr. Li said warmly.

Li Yan did not refuse Mr. Li's kindness, nodded to him, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"It is truly an honor for our company that Mr. Li could visit today. We cannot keep him waiting any longer; let's begin the ribbon-cutting ceremony now!"

"After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, we have prepared some drinks and food for everyone in the hall. Thank you all for coming today. Li Yan is very grateful!"

"I hope to cooperate with everyone more in the future!" Li Yan said very politely to the people below.

His expression showed no trace of the superiority complex one might expect from a nobleman.

This made the people below breathe a sigh of relief, and their opinion of Li Yan changed once again.

People like Li Yan are sure to make great strides in the business world in the future.

Given his current status, he has indeed become someone no one dares to mess with.

With such a person, how could they not prosper and thrive?

After what happened today, everyone present has made their own plans.

However, no one present had bad intentions.

After all, Li Yan's current position is what it is.

If they continue to engage in such underhanded tactics, the company and its business could very well be completely ruined.

All they can do right now is to maintain a good relationship with Li Yan and avoid upsetting him.

Standing on the high platform, President Li naturally had a clear view of the expressions on everyone's faces below.

Seeing these people staring at Li Yan with such eagerness, President Li couldn't help but worry about himself.

Although these people are not as strong as I am, the power behind them should not be underestimated.

If they really cooperate with Li Yan, what chance will I have left?

He was the first person to know Li Yan's true identity, and he even canceled several meetings in order to meet with Li Yan today.

Li Yan is indeed very much to his liking, and there will definitely be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

If we could use Li Yan's identity to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty, that would be perfect.

But now that he sees these people have similar thoughts, Mr. Li feels somewhat unhappy.

But he couldn't show his displeasure in front of everyone, so he could only suppress it, pick up the scissors and cut the red ribbon in front of him.

After cutting the ribbon, General Manager Li said to Li Yan with a big smile, "We must drink to our hearts' content today!"

"Please come in, Mr. Li!" Li Yan politely invited Mr. Li into the room.

Those behind them saw Li Yan and President Li being so polite and a strange look flashed in their eyes.

They really didn't expect that President Li would value Li Yan so much, and even have the intention of grooming Li Yan.

Mr. Li's actions just now are undoubtedly a declaration of "ownership" of Li Yan.

Li Yan is now on the same side as General Manager Li.

If they want to get involved in the relationship between these two, they should probably first weigh their own strength.

Some of the weaker individuals looked dejected when they saw President Li and Li Yan enter the hall.

Their companies are too small to even catch the eye of those big shots.

Now they can only hope that Li Yan can give them some small opportunities to make a fortune.

Just as everyone was enjoying their meal in the lobby, a car horn suddenly sounded outside the company.

The people inside didn't seem to care much about the car horn.

After all, it's normal for vehicles to come and go outside the company.

But the horn kept going on and on.

Upon hearing the commotion outside, the people inside involuntarily stood up from their seats.

Then he turned to look outside the gate.

But they saw nothing outside the door, and no one came in.

This left everyone quite puzzled.

Even President Li, sitting in the main seat, looked at Li Yan with curiosity.

Why are there still people coming at this time?
Almost everyone who received the news that Li Yan was opening a company came; there shouldn't be any omissions.

The banquet has already started, so why are there still people outside Li Yan's company? Could they be from the Great Zhou Dynasty?
When Mr. Li thought of this possibility, his heart started racing, and then he turned to look at Li Yan.

"You're now a nobleman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, these people aren't here for you, are they?" President Li asked excitedly.

Upon hearing what President Li said, Li Yan's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he stared blankly at the company gate.

Will the Great Zhou Dynasty send someone to congratulate me? How come I have no idea?

Although he is a nobleman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he cannot rely on the Great Zhou Dynasty for everything.

Especially when it comes to starting a company, there's no need for the Great Zhou Dynasty to get involved; with his abilities, he can completely revive his company.

As for today's scene, it's merely due to the influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, without the Great Zhou Dynasty, the possibility of him achieving what he has today would be extremely slim.

Therefore, he was still grateful to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"It shouldn't be them. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty values ​​our safety, they won't interfere in our lives!"

“The Great Zhou Dynasty will naturally not interfere in business matters, much less come to my aid!” Li Yan said.

"Who are those people outside the company? Judging from the loudspeaker, it seems like quite a few people are coming!" General Manager Li was also very curious, turning to look at Li Yan with a look of disbelief.

Li Yan naturally noticed President Li's expression as well.

Seeing Mr. Li looking at him like that, Li Yan shook his head helplessly, then stood up from his seat and walked towards the door.

When Li Yan walked towards the door, everyone inside held their breath.

Then he silently stared at the company entrance.

They also wanted to see what the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked like.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty is truly that powerful, then their investment must be a good one.

Just as everyone was looking on in confusion, a person in military uniform suddenly walked in from outside.

Judging from their attire, they are clearly from the Kingdom of Nine Boats.

Why has the army of the Nine Boats Kingdom come here?
In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Li Yan also looked at the group of soldiers with a blank expression, completely baffled.

"Excuse me, what brings you all here?" Li Yan asked, looking flustered.

He thought he had done something wrong.

However, remembering the messages he had seen in the group chat earlier, he gradually relaxed. (End of Chapter)
