Just then, He Qi suddenly appeared.
Upon seeing this, several important figures from Kyoto who had been chatting amongst themselves stepped forward.
He Qi used to be just a young nobleman, but it is said that he personally led the He family to go public, so he is destined to achieve great things in the future.
They might be the future head of the He family, so how could they not come and make their faces known?
These industry giants are no match for the He family, the local tycoon of Kyoto.
He Qi was well aware of these people's true nature, and while he responded politely on the surface, he actually despised them quite a bit in his heart.
"President He!"
A voice rang in He Qi's ears.
He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a large belly walking towards him.
The middle-aged man had dark skin and wore a large gold chain around his neck.
Those prominent figures from Kyoto around them all flashed a hint of disdain in their eyes upon seeing this.
Ke Heqi, however, shook hands with him warmly.
"Chairman Lei, it's been a long time."
The other party was none other than Lei Manniu, from the Lei family, whom He Qi had discussed with at the bar last time.
The Lei family are typical nouveau riche.
Having accumulated a substantial fortune during the coal boom, and riding the wave of a new economic boom, the family's net worth has risen to the forefront of China's economy through real estate, with a conservative estimate exceeding 300 billion.
Such people are the most despised by those self-proclaimed noble Kyoto tycoons.
There was nothing they could do; a few years ago, the Lei family had spent hundreds of billions to acquire one of the five major ports in Kyoto.
The five major docks are controlled by the four major families and the Lei family, one of each.
The largest dock was in the hands of the government, that is, the Yang family.
Therefore, these merchants can only utilize four of them.
Now, Lei Manniu controls one of the major maritime logistics empires in Kyoto, and those once high-ranking figures can only greet him with smiles.
After all, no one has trouble with money.
"Chairman Lei, the bet you made on me back then didn't back out, did it?"
He Qi leaned against Lei Manniu and said softly.
Lei Manniu looked around.
The gathering of prominent figures from all walks of life was a grand event he had never heard of before.
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You've only been here a short time, but you've already caused such a commotion."
Lei Manniu grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
He Qi suppressed his nausea and continued, "This is nothing. Once it's officially listed, you can pour all your liquid funds into He family stocks. The more you invest, the more you can get back."
Lei Manniu nodded thoughtfully.
The He family's explosive growth after its listing was almost inevitable.
Given the true strength of the He family, he could understand why their stock price doubled in a short period of time.
If supporting He Qi before was a huge gamble, then investing heavily in the He family next is simply a small-scale operation.
It's basically a sure-fire way to make money.
“With you, He Qi, in the He family, I am very relieved. From now on, I, Lei Manniu, will be the He family’s most loyal ally. If there is anything I can do, just say the word.”
Lei Manniu slapped He Qi hard on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
He Qi staggered and laughed awkwardly.
But just then, a noisy discussion suddenly broke out in the crowd.
Everyone looked at the sound.
A Maybach drove into the park and parked directly on the side of the road.
Many prominent figures in Kyoto recognized the car.
As soon as the Maybach stopped, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie with a dignified face got out of the passenger seat, went to the back, and opened the car door.
All eyes turned to them at that moment.
A leather shoe slowly landed behind the car door.
Spotless and shiny.
The dark blue suit trousers were crisp and smooth.
"Boom!"
Before the person even appeared, a slender silver cane slammed violently to the ground.
On the cane, a domineering tiger head roars angrily at the sky, its mouthful of fangs making everyone's heart tremble.
A pair of slender, bony hands held it tightly.
A young man, holding a cane with both hands, slowly stepped out of the car.
A group of seemingly indifferent yet subtly authoritative eyes swept over the crowd.
Although this glance carried no hidden meaning, it gave others the feeling of being scrutinized.
The younger generation in the crowd observed this extraordinary-looking peer.
Short, neat hair; sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
His features were like an ancient sculpture, with distinct angles on his face.
His expensive, custom-made suit accentuated his imposing and extraordinary presence.
Dressed in blue, he appeared otherworldly, with a cool and elegant demeanor.
Not long after.
A stunningly beautiful woman in an elegant dress stepped out of the other car door.
The black dress perfectly complemented her figure, outlining her elegant silhouette, like a noble black swan accompanying the young man.
Her face was like a painting, her demeanor ethereal and otherworldly.
It made countless noblewomen present feel ashamed of themselves.
The woman came to the young man's side and gently took his arm.
"Who...who is this? I don't know that there is such a person in the Dragon Kingdom?"
"You must be from abroad, you don't even know him."
"That's right, the place you're in right now is his family's property!"
"Luckily you're not from Kyoto. If people in Kyoto didn't know Young Master He, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?"
Upon seeing He Qinzhou's arrival, everyone present stepped forward to exchange pleasantries.
These people went to great lengths just to make He Qinzhou remember them.
Even He Qi, who was originally the main character, was neglected.
He stood alone not far away, with only Lei Manniu by his side.
"Don't these guys even know who's in charge of the He family right now?"
"That good-for-nothing He Qinzhou, what makes him..."
He Qi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He had put in so much effort to do so much, yet even the highly respected He Lintian dared not speak out against his actions.
How could He Qinzhou possibly steal my thunder?
He sneered and stepped forward.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on He Qinzhou, a mocking voice full of contempt suddenly rang out.
"This is a press conference for the He family. What is a cripple doing here?"
Upon hearing this, the room fell into a deathly silence.
If it were someone else who spoke up, they could lend a hand.
But that's He Qi!
They are also members of the main branch of the He family!
During this period, he was at the height of his power within the He family.
It is said that he orchestrated the He family's listing on the stock exchange.
People are still speculating about how this succession dispute will strain the relationships among the younger generation of the He family.
But now we see this scene!
The crowd that had been surrounding He Qinzhou slowly dispersed, making way for him.
This is Heqin Prefecture.
On the other side was He Qi.
"If even I'm not qualified to be here, then what are you?"
He Qinzhou looked at He Qi quietly, his eyes calm as still water, without the slightest ripple.
"you?"
He Qi smiled dismissively.
"Do you really think you still have a place in the He family?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at He Qinzhou in disbelief.

These words caused a huge uproar.
What do you mean?
Has He Qinzhou lost power in the He family?
How can this be?
Kehe Qinzhou leaned on his cane, remained silent, and did not refute He Qi's words.
Looking at He Qinzhou at this moment, everyone had a vague feeling.
It seems that he has become quite down and out.
"Until the succession competition ends, I will remain the president of the He Group. Even if your father comes, he won't dare to stop me from entering the He family!"
He Qinzhou slammed his cane on the ground, his voice low and domineering.
But to the others, this sounded weak and even a bit like a sign of anger and embarrassment.
Everyone knows that in a group, one must rely on ability to maintain one's prestige.
President?
Without ability as a foundation, a position is the most useless thing.
He Qi scoffed at these words.
When he saw He Qinzhou appear, he was genuinely worried that the other party had brought his trump card.
With so many guests today, given He Qinzhou's abilities, it's easy for him to lose face.
Never thought about it.
How could someone as powerful as He Qinzhou keep saying, "I'm the CEO"?
What a joke!
"He Qinzhou, I personally pushed for the listing of the He Group. The He family is able to usher in an opportunity for reform because of my wisdom, He Qi. You are outdated. I advise you to get out of here and not disgrace our He family!"
"you……!"
