After two days of fun, the honeymoon in South Korea didn't end in a miserable state.
However, before leaving Korea, Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi still had to attend the Park family's official succession ceremony.
Park Cheon would leave his position as president, which meant that the position of CEO would be handed over to Zhenxiu. It might seem a little exaggerated for a girl who was not even twenty years old to be the CEO of such a world-class company, but the outside world knew that Park Cheon would still teach Zhenxiu step by step. Zhenxiu was only in name for the past few years and was still in the learning stage, so it was not too shocking.
What intrigued the outside world the most was that the Park family's succession ceremony was not only about the inheritance of the company's assets, but also the Park family's inheritance of Starmoon that had been passed down from generation to generation.
Some of the older members of the wealthy families in Korea only knew that the head of the Park family was the only one who knew the true use of Starmoon. Outsiders were completely unaware of it.
Some speculated that it was a rare treasure, some guessed that it was a secret formula, and some even speculated that it was a large amount of gold and gems buried by the Park family's ancestors as a foundation for the Park family to rise again in the event of its downfall …
However, all of these were just speculations. No one really knew what kind of family secrets were hidden in it.
On the eleventh of the Seoul Hotel Shilla, which was owned by the Starmoon Group, the largest auditorium of the entire hotel was booked by the Park family. The fact that the Park family was able to occupy such a place where the leaders of Korea entertained their distinguished guests was a testament to the influence of the Starmoon Group.
Yang Cheng wore a suit prepared for him by Lin Ruoxi. When he and Lin Ruoxi appeared in the auditorium, there were already hundreds of upper-class guests waiting for them.
Some mainstream media reporters were also arranged to film in the front. The family succession ceremony of the Starmoon Group was also a piece of upper-class news that the outside world was paying attention to.
The waiters who were shuttling back and forth were all dressed in the most quaint of Korean clothes, highlighting the solemnity of the ceremony.
Since Yang Cheng had specifically requested that the couple be left alone, Park Cheon did not come to greet them to avoid attracting attention.
At noon, Park Cheon strode onto the stage with a flourish accompanied by the sound of music.
Everyone gasped in awe at the sight of the well-dressed and ruddy Old President. Everyone knew that Park Cheon had just recovered from a serious illness. They thought that he would be sickly, but they did not expect him to be in such good spirits.
Such a scene was enough to send Starmoon Group's stock price skyrocketing on the internet. After all, Park Cheon was the founder and pillar of the company. His influence as long as he was healthy was immense.
Park Cheon displayed a powerful aura at that moment. With just a glance, the hundreds of guests below the stage fell silent. Regardless of whether they were from the same generation or the younger generation, everyone began to listen respectfully.
Apart from the flashing lights and the sound of cameras, the venue was completely silent.
"Thank you, everyone, for coming to the Park family's handover ceremony today. At the same time, this is also the day when the CEO of the Starmoon Group will be officially announced.
Those who know me well know that I'm not a person who likes to beat around the bush, so I'll be straightforward with what I want to announce.
I, Park Cheon, have decided to hand over the position of the head of the family to my eldest granddaughter, Xu Zhenxiu, in accordance with the principle of seniority in the family and the principle of bloodline inheritance.
Zhenxiu is the biological daughter of my eldest daughter, Park Jiyi. Although her surname is Xu, she is indeed the flesh and blood of the Park family. I hope that the family can provide sufficient support. Zhenxiu is still young and needs the guidance of the uncles. I will also supervise her from the sidelines to become a qualified successor as soon as possible.
Furthermore, Starmoon Group is the main company of the Park family and the result of decades of hard work. I've been the CEO of the group for more than thirty years and I'm tired.
I've weighed the talents and wisdom of all my children and grandchildren and have decided to hand over my position to Zhenxiu.
You don't have to worry about Zhenxiu being too young to manage the company. My old bones are still very strong. After the handover, I'll retire behind the scenes and continue to be the CEO … "
Park Cheon's announcement in high spirits was almost the same as what everyone had guessed.
Previously, some were worried that Zhenxiu would not be able to withstand such pressure due to her young age. But now, it seemed that the handover was only in name. Since Park Cheon was in such good health, it was more likely that he would be 'managing the affairs from behind the curtains'.
However, it also put an end to the thoughts of the other Park family members and collateral descendants. At the same time, it also served as a warning that something similar to Park Jonghyun's should never happen again.
After announcing these two matters, Park Cheon smiled amiably and waved at Zhenxiu, who was behind the stage, to invite his granddaughter onto the stage.
Zhenxiu was wearing a white lace ruffled princess dress. The round collar in front of her chest outlined the perfect curve of her chest. Her beautiful collarbone and delicate waist made her look particularly youthful and dazzling.
Her silky black hair was scattered over her shoulders and looked particularly attractive under the spotlight. Her delicate skin and beautiful features made the eyes of many young playboys below the stage glow.
These people were used to playing with female celebrities who had undergone plastic surgery. Naturally, they had no resistance against this natural beauty who had no signs of surgery.
Below the stage, there was a burst of applause, cheers, and praises.
Many people could not help but sigh. This was what it meant to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Whoever married her would not only have a beauty in their arms, but also a mountain of gold!
Even Zhenxiu herself would never have imagined that she, who grew up in an orphanage and lost both her parents at a young age, would one day become the focus of the upper class's attention and envy. She would become a rich woman who could own tens of billions of assets without having to do anything.
If she had once fallen into depravity, drug addiction, or murder, none of this would have happened. She would not have met the person she wanted to meet, and everything that happened later would not have happened. She would not be where she was today.
Life was built by all kinds of coincidences and accidents, but it was also like a little bit of self-persistence and adherence to principles.
Park Cheon was pleased with the crowd's praise. Although it was directed at Zhenxiu, as an elder, Park Cheon was particularly pleased.
For an old man who did not have long to live, a child who could inherit his will and legacy was the greatest work of art he needed to create in the final stage of his life.
There was no doubt that Zhenxiu, who he had gone through so much trouble to find, had enough potential even though he had yet to finish carving her.
"Zhenxiu, say hello to everyone." Park Cheon smiled.
Zhenxiu was a little nervous, but she still greeted the people below the stage according to etiquette, treating it as a formal meeting.
Park Cheon held Zhenxiu's small shoulders to reassure his granddaughter.
"Everyone, I actually have one more thing to announce today. It's something that I've never mentioned before …"
Below the stage, there were all kinds of guesses. They did not understand what Park Cheon was up to.
Zhenxiu also looked up curiously. Her grandfather had never mentioned this before.
Park Cheon was unmoved. He said in a clear voice, "In order for our Zhenxiu to Anxin as soon as possible and start learning how to manage a company, I have arranged a beautiful marriage for her …"
"Wow!! — — "
The crowd was in an uproar. Most of them were shocked.
Zhenxiu's pretty face was pale as she stared at Park Cheon. She could not believe that such a thing would happen!
"Grandfather … why are you …"
Without waiting for Zhenxiu to say anything, Park Cheon frowned at the girl and whispered into the microphone, "Let's talk after we get off the stage."
Yang Cheng, who had been listless all this while, looked over in confusion. Lin Ruoxi, who was beside him, asked, "Hubby, Zhenxiu's marriage? Is it a marriage with the Gong family? "
Yang Cheng shook his head. "I don't think so. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said it so suddenly."
For some reason, Yang Cheng felt nervous, but he did not know what he was nervous about.
Closer to the stage were the father and son, Gong Gyechung and Gong Woo of the Gong family. Their brows were tightly furrowed and their eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
Park Cheon continued, "I believe many of you know that the legal counsel of Starmoon Group has always been Lawyer Kim of the Kim family. Lawyer Kim's beloved son, Kim Jip, has always been my most trusted bodyguard.
Rather than a bodyguard, he is more like a grandson that I have watched grow up. I have seen Kim Jip's character and talent. Coincidentally, Kim Jip and Zhenxiu are of similar age.
Although the Kim family has always been in the legal profession, they have been on good terms with the Park family for generations. Lawyer Kim and I are good friends. The two of us hit it off and have decided to have a marriage between Zhenxiu and Kim Jip! "
