As the Third Young Master of the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce, Ouyang Yi naturally had a lot of face. However, those who were able to come here all had high statuses, so Ouyang Yi politely returned their greetings. When the crowd noticed Liu Yi beside Ouyang Yi, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
So beautiful.
Many of them came from other cities in the Montenegrin Empire. They had heard that Ouyang Yi had a new lover, but this was the first time they saw her. Everyone said that the Third Young Master was more serious than before, but the woman this time was indeed stronger than before.
"Let me introduce her to everyone. This is the President of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce, Liu Yi," Ouyang Yi introduced her to everyone.
When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately cupped their hands towards Liu Yi and said, "This is the first time I've met President Liu. Please take care of me in the future!"
"Everyone is too polite. My Chamber of Commerce has just started, so I need everyone's care," Liu Yi replied politely with a smile.
"Everyone, don't stand outside. Let's go in and talk," Ouyang Yi said as he led Liu Yi into the courtyard.
Everyone quickly entered. There were many people present today, much more than last night's banquet. Many people from the Four Great Chambers of Commerce were present, but the presidents weren't present because they had already attended last night's banquet. In other words, the Four Great Chambers of Commerce were represented by their children. As for the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce, Ouyang Yi was naturally in charge.
Ouyang Yi had two sisters. The eldest was called Ouyang Qing, and the second was called Ouyang Yan. Ouyang Qing was a simple person. She liked to cultivate, so she basically didn't ask about the affairs of the family or the Chamber of Commerce. She also rarely appeared in public, so she didn't come this time. Ouyang Yan was in charge of managing the Chamber of Commerce. She handled all the big and small matters, so she would definitely come this time.
In fact, compared to the two sisters, Ouyang Yi's cultivation talent was not inferior to the eldest sister's, and his business acumen was not inferior to the second sister's. It was just that he was too dissolute, and his mind was not on these things at all. Therefore, every time the two sisters saw him, they would scold him, making him not dare to see them.
The Alkaid Chamber of Commerce was not invited to this banquet. Therefore, Liu Yi could only come because she was related to the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce. She could only sit where the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce was. When Ouyang Yan saw her brother and Liu Yi together, she immediately frowned.
She was very angry with her brother. She didn't know how many times she had talked to him. This matter made her father very angry. If he had the heart of the princess, why did he give up the princess and go for a woman who had nothing?
However, her brother had talked to her today, so she couldn't lose her temper at Liu Yi. She had to endure it. She looked at her brother in front of her and said, "You're finally here."
Ouyang Yi nodded and said, "Sister."
Liu Yi also knew the etiquette and said, "Greetings, Sister Ouyang."
Ouyang Yan was indeed older than Liu Yi. She glanced at Liu Yi, nodded and said, "That's your seat. The banquet hasn't started yet. Go and walk around on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce. You can't break the relationship with these people."
"Okay." Ouyang Yi nodded and said, "Leave it to me!"
With that, Ouyang Yi turned and left with Liu Yi. Liu Yi naturally followed. After all, the purpose of her coming here was to meet more useful people.
Ouyang Yi looked at Liu Yi. He knew what she was thinking, but he was willing to help her do anything she wanted.
"Third Young Master!"
"Third Young Master!"
"… …"
Many people left with Ouyang Yi in a row. Liu Yi also said a few words, but she didn't remember the names of any of these people, because they were useless to her. At this time, a forthright voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
"Brother Ouyang, long time no see!"
Ouyang Yi's body shook when he heard the voice. He immediately turned his head and looked back. He was stunned and said happily, "Wang Jingzhan, you're back too!"
"Haha, yes! I haven't been back for several years, so I have to come back and have a look! " Wang Jingzhan said with a laugh. Then he looked at the woman beside Ouyang Yi. His eyes lit up and asked, "This girl is …"
"Liu Yi, the president of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce!" Ouyang Yi immediately introduced, "This is Wang Jingzhan, the son of General Zhenyu. He has been solving crises at the border all year round. Even I haven't seen him for several years!"
General Zhenyu?
Liu Yi was slightly startled. She had heard of this name before. She was no longer the person who didn't know anything when she first came to the Montenegrin Empire. On the contrary, in order to do business, she desperately tried to learn a lot of things. In particular, it was very important to know who could not be offended. General Zhenyu was one of them.
General Zhenyu was one of the three generals of the Montenegrin Empire. Each of the three generals guarded a border alone. The four empires bordered each other, which meant that each general was responsible for the security of the other countries. General Zhenyu was responsible for all the wars with the Heavenly Dragon Empire. His status was very high.
As his son, his status was naturally imaginable. Liu Yi's heart moved. She knew that a useful person had finally come. She smiled and said softly, "Greetings, General Wang."
"Hey, don't say that!" Wang Jingzhan waved his hand and said loudly, "You're treating me like an outsider. If you don't mind, you can call me big brother Wang!"
Hearing this, Liu Yi's heart slightly tightened, but her expression did not change as she smiled and said, "How would I dare? Only when my Alkaid Chamber of Commerce grows will I be qualified. For now, I'll just call you General Wang."
Hearing Liu Yi's words, Wang Jingzhan thought that Liu Yi was being shy, and he couldn't help but laugh as he said, "That's fine. Don't worry, with me and the Third Young Master, your Alkaid Chamber of Commerce will definitely grow quickly!"
Liu Yi smiled and bowed as she said, "Thank you, General Wang."
At that moment, a voice sounded out from the distance, "Brother Wang, why didn't you tell us that you were coming back? Looks like you don't treat us as brothers!"
Hearing this, everyone turned around and saw that it was the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce's Liu Shou and the Bright Prince Chamber of Commerce's Eldest Young Master Chu Shanhe and Second Young Miss Chu Yun. The two of them walked towards Wang Jingzhan. These people had been close to each other since they were young and played together, so they naturally had a good relationship. Wang Jingzhan smiled as he said, "How would I dare? Didn't I just happen to meet the Third Young Master? At most, I'll just drink a few more cups as punishment!"
Hearing this, everyone laughed. At that moment, the Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce's Second Young Master Gao Liwen and Third Young Master Gao Liwu had also arrived. These two people had always been sinister and cunning, with Gao Liwen being crafty and scheming while Gao Liwu being vicious. Even these people didn't like them, but they could still tolerate them.
Gao Liwen and Gao Liwu looked at the people from the other three families, and Gao Liwu asked his big brother, "Big brother, should we go and greet them?"
Gao Liwen shook his head and said, "They look very close, but they all have their own agendas and are all very fake. I don't want to be as fake as them."
As he spoke, Gao Liwen and Gao Liwu went to their seats and sat down. By now, everyone had arrived, and it was time for the banquet to begin. Immediately, a deep voice sounded out.
"The Esteemed Prince has arrived!"
Hearing this, everyone trembled and immediately stood up to look at the stage. Sure enough, under the crowd's escort, an extremely noble man dressed in brocade walked out. He was the Emperor's younger brother, the Esteemed Prince Gao Zhi.
The Montenegrin Empire's imperial family was surnamed Gao, and the Emperor was also surnamed Gao. As the Esteemed Prince, Gao Zhi's status could be said to be second only to the Emperor and above tens of thousands. His status was even higher than the Three Great Generals. When everyone saw Gao Zhi, they all saluted and said respectfully, "Greetings to the Esteemed Prince!"
The Esteemed Prince walked up to the stage and looked down at everyone. He raised his hand and said, "Rise!"
"Thank you, Esteemed Prince!"
Everyone stood up and looked up at the Esteemed Prince. The Esteemed Prince looked around and nodded slightly when he saw that everyone who should have come had arrived. He said loudly, "Today is the third day of the New Year, and everyone is gathered here again. In my eyes, everyone here is the future of the Montenegrin Empire. Whether or not the Montenegrin Empire prospers in the future will depend on everyone. For this reason, everyone must work together and not have internal strife. Do you understand? "
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
"Everyone, sit down!" The Esteemed Prince waved his hand and everyone sat down. Soon, the song and dance performance began. Following that, it was time to interact with each other and line up to congratulate the Esteemed Prince.
However, not long after the banquet started and the second song and dance performance ended, the Esteemed Prince seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and asked the crowd below the stage, "Who is Liu Yi?"
Once he said this, everyone was shocked!
Liu Yi, who was chatting with Chu Yun and the others, was also stunned. She even suspected that she had heard wrong and immediately looked towards the stage.
The gazes of the people around her told her that she hadn't heard wrong. She immediately stood up and saluted towards the stage, "I am Liu Yi."
