Jiang Lan left the matter of inviting guests entirely to Lu Ming, focusing only on the grand opening ceremony for the next day. She had no other choice but to trust Lu Ming at this point.
Lu Ming, meanwhile, didn't seem to make much of an effort, merely making a few phone calls at the entrance.
Jiang Lan harbored some doubts. Could a few phone calls really invite important guests?
Perhaps they were just ordinary friends?
If the guests on the second day lacked substance, it would be a disastrous start. If Xun Rong stumbled on its first day, its future path would likely be very difficult.
In extreme anxiety, Jiang Lan had a restless night, waiting anxiously for the next day.
The next day.
The entire street leading to Xun Rong was adorned with arched gateways and various colorful banners, with firecrackers continuously being set off, creating a lively atmosphere.
Many passersby also came to watch.
However, as expected, the Jiang family members did not attend, nor did any of the business partners.
The scene felt somewhat awkward.
The employees of Xun Rong were also whispering among themselves, feeling that the new company wasn't very impressive.
"Our new company doesn't seem to be taken seriously. The Jiang family didn't send anyone, and neither did the business partners. Do we really need such a grand promotion?"
"You don't understand. This new company is actually a cold palace. Anyone who disobeys in the future will be sent here. It has no future."
"Alas, following the second young lady, I thought we could achieve great things, but who knew we would end up in such a situation? We are truly miserable."
The employees had little confidence in the new company, let alone others.
In the president's office of the Jiang Corporation.
Jiang Mengxin sat quietly on the sofa. Xu Qin sat beside her and said with a chuckle, "Xun Rong's grand opening ceremony has already begun. Just as we predicted, no one went. Hahaha, Lu Ming and the others are utterly disgraced."
Jiang Mengxin said, "Of course. I've already contacted the business partners and Jiang family members in advance, so no one will go. Whoever goes will be going against me, Jiang Mengxin. I call the shots in the Jiang family now. I believe anyone with a brain wouldn't oppose me."
Xu Qin continued, "That's right. In the future, everyone will have to fawn over my daughter. Lu Ming and Xiao Lan will become like rats crossing the street, hated by all. Let's see how they dare to show off in front of us again."
Thinking of how smug Lu Ming and the others used to be, Xu Qin's anger flared, and her teeth itched with hatred.
Jiang Mengxin said, "Don't worry, Mom. I've already made plans. In three months at most, I will suppress and ruin Xun Rong, and then I can legitimately get rid of Lu Ming and Xiao Lan."
Ousting them wasn't the ultimate goal; Jiang Mengxin's heart was truly black.
She wanted to completely drive Lu Ming and Jiang Lan out of the Jiang family.
Just like Jiang Yang, they would be removed from the Jiang family registry.
Xu Qin clapped her hands and said, "Good daughter, Mom supports you!"
On the other side.
Xun Rong.
Jiang Lan stood at the entrance, unable to even force a smile. Today, she was quite dejected.
She glanced at Lu Ming beside her and asked, "Lu Ming, where are the guests you invited? Why... haven't they arrived yet?"
Lu Ming calmly replied, "Let's wait a bit longer. They'll be here soon."
"Oh," Jiang Lan replied listlessly, no longer holding any hope. In her opinion, Lu Ming was unlikely to be able to invite any important guests.
Sigh...
Just as Jiang Lan was feeling dejected, a red Ferrari drove over.
The car stopped, and the door opened.
A stylish, youthful, and beautiful woman stepped out. It was the eldest daughter of the Yuan family—Yuan Keying!
She said cheerfully, "Good brother, I'm here to support you~~"
As she spoke, several people carried flower baskets out.
Jiang Lan's eyes widened upon seeing Yuan Keying. A woman as beautiful and sexy as her wasn't someone one could meet often, especially since she was the eldest daughter of the Yuan family.
Jiang Lan offered an awkward smile.
Yuan Keying's status was neither extremely high nor low. Her coming to support them was acceptable.
It was better than no one coming.
Following closely, another car drove over.
This time, it was the head of Ren Zhi Pharmacy—Qiao Ling!
"Lu Ming, I heard you opened a new company, so I came specifically to support you. I hope you will do better and better."
Qiao Ling brought a large group of people, with endless flowers and the sound of music.
The atmosphere immediately became lively.
Yuan Keying glared at Qiao Ling and whispered, "How can this woman be shaken off wherever she goes? She's always trying to steal my good brother. It's infuriating."
Next, a motorcade arrived.
Three cars in front, three in the back, with an Audi black sedan protected in the middle.
With such a formation, it was clear that these were important figures.
Indeed.
When the car doors opened, out stepped the mayor's son—Xu Jun!
Jiang Lan was somewhat surprised, "Young Master Xu? You're here too."
Seeing such an important figure as Xu Jun arrive, Jiang Lan finally showed a rare smile. However, what surprised her even more was yet to come.
Xu Jun was not the 'main course.'
After stepping out, Xu Jun bent down and helped an elder out.
The appearance of this elder caused the entire scene to erupt!
It was none other than the Mayor of Jinling—Xu Zhijian!
"Wow, no way, the Mayor himself is here? My heavens, am I seeing things?"
"It's the Mayor, it's indeed Mayor Xu!"
"Oh my, I thought our new company was an insignificant little business, but who knew that Mayor Xu himself would personally come to support us. This is incredible."
"We are truly fortunate to be able to work in such a new company."
Xu Zhijian slowly walked over.
Jiang Lan dared not be careless and quickly went to greet him. Her distressed expression completely eased, and she smiled, "Mayor, how come you're here too?"
Xu Zhijian said, "Little brother Lu Ming's new company is opening, so I came to show my support. What, you're not welcome?"
"Welcome, welcome, very welcome," Jiang Lan was too excited to know what to say.
Even Yuan Keying and Qiao Ling were greatly shocked.
One had to know that the Mayor's status was extremely noble. For the opening of an ordinary company, it was impossible to invite him.
His presence was a great honor.
They didn't know what kind of relationship he had with Lu Ming to come and show his support personally.
This time, it had brought tremendous prestige to Lu Ming and Jiang Lan.
However, the real climax had not yet arrived. The scene that followed stunned everyone present.
Then, a large motorcade arrived, stretching as far as the eye could see, like a train.
A vast throng, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Even more important figures had arrived!
