Chapter: 4004
As Queen Victoria entered, Ye Zhongquan's face was full of reverence as he said to Lai Qinghua outside: "Mr. Lai, we've finally met again!"
Lai Qinghua nodded politely and said: "How have you been, Mr. Ye?"
Ye Zhongquan smiled slightly: "There were some issues earlier on, causing me some trouble, but after my son returned to Yanjing, many of the problems were resolved, thanks to his blessings. Not only did our family safely pass through the crisis, but we also took advantage of this opportunity to further develop our business. As for me, I'm finally able to retire and enjoy a peaceful life, so I've been feeling very pleased recently."
Lai Qinghua laughed: "It's indeed fortunate that Ye Family has someone like Young Master Ye, who is truly a human phoenix. With Young Master Ye around, Ye Family will rise to the top of the world, ready at any moment!"
As Ye Zhongquan nodded hastily, he said: "Then let me borrow your auspicious words, Mr. Lai!"
Just as he finished speaking, they could hear the announcements from the banquet hall: "From now on, please welcome our second guest with warm applause, the esteemed Song Dynasty Feng Shui Master and descendant of the Song family, over a hundred years old, Mr. Rui Qinghua!"
Ye Zhongquan was taken aback by this, his heart suddenly feeling a surge of surprise. He had originally thought that he should be the one to take the stage next, while Mr. Rui Qinghua would be the last guest to appear.
But little did he know, Ye Chen had arranged for Mr. Rui Qinghua to make an appearance first and himself to follow, which made his heart beat rapidly with excitement.
Mr. Rui Qinghua didn't seem surprised by this arrangement at all, since Ye Zhongquan was not only his father-in-law but also the patriarch of the Ye family in name, so he must have been arranged to appear last. This would allow the Ye family's reputation to skyrocket globally overnight.
So Mr. Rui Qinghua smiled and said to Ye Zhongquan: "Mr. Ye, I'll go ahead first!"
Ye Zhongquan hastily executed a polite bow and said with reverence: "Please, Mr. Rui!"
Mr. Rui Qinghua nodded slightly and strode confidently into the banquet hall.
At this moment, those people in the banquet hall who had just gotten up to welcome Queen Victoria stood up again.
These people were almost all wealthy individuals from North America and Asia.
They were many people who had heard of Rui Qinghua's introduction and were eagerly expecting the Spring Autumn Elixir, and they also always highly respected Rui Qinghua's expertise in Feng Shui. Seeing Rui Qinghua enter, it was natural for them to rise up to greet him.
However, those Europeans who had just bowed down to welcome Queen Victoria hardly got up at all.
Europe and North America are actually quite different. North America is a melting pot of immigrants, with diverse beliefs, nationalities, and tolerance. In contrast, the Europeans have retained many traditions inherited from medieval times, so they tend to be more stubborn and conservative. They would pay respects to an already fallen royal family, but treat Rui Qinghua, this Feng Shui master, with disdain.
However, Rui Qinghua didn't seem to care about these peculiar gazes, his expression was always calm and light-hearted, with a hint of nonchalance.
Rui Qinghua walked up to the central three VIP seats in front of him, where Queen Victoria from North Europe had already taken her seat on the right-hand side. At this moment, an event staff member came forward, indicating that Rui Qinghua should take his seat on the left-hand side.
Just then, Song Wan Ting loudly declared: "From now on, all present personnel are requested to rise and applaud warmly to welcome our third VIP guest of the evening, Mr. Ye Zongquan, Chairman of the Ye Family Group!"
Ye Zongquan never thought that his son would give himself such a bold face at this auction.
Letting oneself participate as a VIP in an auction had already made him very surprised and delighted. He never expected that Ye Zongquan wouldn't only grant himself VIP status, but even let himself be the last to make an appearance.
The unexpected surprise was that Song Wen Ting, at the moment she walked out onto the stage, would require everyone to stand up and applaud in unison to welcome her entrance. This was simply the highest level of treatment for someone like this situation!
To be aware, there were no exceptions inside the auction hall, as all participants were top-tier tycoons with economic strength far surpassing the Ye family.
However, even these people had to stand up straight and applaud with reverence to welcome her, Ye Zhongquan's entrance. JrNovels.com
