The next morning at half past eight, Song Yun slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Ye Qingqing, whose hand was resting on his neck, and smiled adoringly.
"Lazy bug, it’s time to get up."
"Mmm~ no, please~ you go do your thing, I want to keep sleeping~"
Ye Qingqing shifted slightly, finding a more comfortable position to lie in.
"Then remember to get up for breakfast later, dad and I are off to take care of some stuff."
Song Yun kissed Ye Qingqing’s forehead gently, then got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs.
Downstairs at the dining table, Qingqing’s father was already seated, eating breakfast while looking through the morning paper.
"Dad, you’re up early."
Song Yun greeted him and asked, "Where’s mom?"
"When you get older, you tend to sleep less. Your mom’s gone out with her girlfriends for a beauty treatment. I don’t know what they find to do so early in the morning."
Her father put the newspaper down on the table and said, "Have some breakfast. We leave at nine sharp."
Song Yun nodded and sat at the table, quietly eating breakfast.
After eating, Huang Baoding drove the two of them to the venue.
It must be said that one’s first impression of this diamond supplier is: wealthy! Solid foundation!
They had rented out a five-star hotel in the center of the Magic Capital, which isn’t something you can just do with money alone; if you don’t have the status, the hotel wouldn’t be willing to offend their other guests just to accommodate your company.
The venue was located on the top floor of this five-star hotel.
Song Yun and his father rode the elevator to the top floor where they saw forty-five companies already waiting quietly.
And the press area was packed with journalists, but as soon as they saw Song Yun and Qingqing’s father, their eyes lit up, and they rushed over with their microphones.
Who is the hottest figure on the internet right now?
Of course, it’s Song Yun!
He had gained tremendous fame from the competitive gaming match with Yu Xiaogen and Han Ye!
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
And after the match, he disappeared from the public eye, leaving everyone feeling itchy with curiosity!
Everyone wanted to know what Song Yun was doing now!
Seeing Song Yun here today, one must admit these journalists were incredibly fortunate!
"Mr. Song, are you attending the press conference with an interest in expanding into the domestic jewelry market?"
"Mr. Song, why did you disappear after the Go competition? Everyone is eager for an interview with you."
"Mr. Song, can we schedule an exclusive interview with you?"
"Mr. Song..."
So many journalists coming over with their flashing cameras truly startled Song Yun, but he took a moment to smile and said, "I’m just here to have a look today; please don’t misconstrue my intentions."
"Are you planning to collaborate with the Derulo Diamond Group? From what I know, this diamond supplier is very powerful. Entering Hua Country this time, they aim to choose the most capable company for a strong alliance. In my opinion, you are undoubtedly the best candidate!" Discover hidden tales at freewebnovel
"I’ve said it before, I was just invited to attend the press conference, no other intentions. Now, I need to take my seat, please feel free to do as you please."
Song Yun walked towards the front with Ye Qingqing’s father, smiling.
He had always maintained a mysterious identity in the public eye, which suited him just fine. He didn’t want his photo plastered all over the streets, nor did he want any keen individuals digging too deeply into his past.
Seeing that Song Yun had politely declined the interview, the reporters could only regretfully return to their seats. However, their eyes occasionaly strayed towards Song Yun, casting looks of reproach that made him feel like some heartbreaker.
At ten o’clock, the press conference officially began.
By then, the venue was packed with individuals - all the most capable and promising entrepreneurs who had been thoroughly vetted by the DeRue Diamond Group.
The main representative from the DeRue Diamond Group this time was a vice president from headquarters. After he and his colleagues took their seats at the front, they began the Q&A with the reporters.
This was standard procedure; the focus would never be here, this was just for show.
After half an hour of Q&A, every reporter received a generous "tip".
Then, it was time for the entrepreneurs, including Song Yun, to participate in the second event.
This was the main event. Through continuous assessment, the DeRue Diamond Group would secretly score each group, and those with the highest scores would receive their partnership letters.
The second venue was very spacious, easily a thousand square meters, and it was laid out with an array of snacks and drinks for the guests.
However, everyone here was focused on partnership and profits. Eating? That can be done anywhere!
"Hello everyone, I am the vice president of the DeRue Diamond Group. I believe many of you have heard my name. That’s right, I’m the appraiser known as the most stringent in the diamond industry: Wayne!"
Wayne, the vice president, held the microphone with a smile. "I’m truly delighted to have invited so many distinguished socialites. During our upcoming interactions, I believe our understanding of each other will deepen, until we reach the threshold of cooperation!"
"Right, Mr. Song Yun?"
Song Yun hadn’t expected that he would be the first person the vice president wanted to get to know!
At that moment, all eyes in the room were fixed on Song Yun, who had become the center of attention.
"Heh, Vice President Wayne is kidding. Everyone’s strength is actually quite similar. I don’t have a jewelry company under my name, and I’ve never entered the jewelry market. Compared to companies that have worked in this industry for years, I am still a novice."
Song Yun continued with a laugh, "In my opinion, there are too many established jewelry companies in Magic Capital. They have the channels and the connections. Your partnership with them would be the most perfect."
Ever since Song Yun learned that this company liked to absorb and then kick out partners, he wasn’t too fond of them.
Please don’t come to me with a pitfall. Find someone else!
Song Yun’s humble words warmed the hearts of the owners of many established jewelry companies. Despite being wealthy, this young man wasn’t out to make just any money.
When they had come, they had also felt somewhat apprehensive; after all, the DeRue Diamond Group had stated they were looking for the most capable company, which meant their original advantages were nullified.
"No, no, no! Mr. Song, in my opinion, your channels and connections are much more important than theirs. In fact, before we even start scoring everyone, you already have a very high starting score with me. A young man who can create such a vast enterprise from scratch is truly astounding to me."
Vice President Wayne was like a persistent plaster, sticking closely to Song Yun.
This left Song Yun somewhat at a loss for words.
After all, it’s hard to scold someone who greets you with a smile. When someone is praising you cheerfully, you can’t just bluntly say: Get lost, I don’t want to cooperate with you!
Just as Song Yun was pondering how to respond, a voice emerged in his mind.
"Ding! Host detected at the jewelry cooperation site, would you like to sign in?"
