Chapter 918: Contest in the Business Arena

Yan Zhengxiong still had a laughing expression, but it was the face of a smiling tiger.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Lu, the theaters that Yan’s Enterprise is collaborating on with Fenghua Real Estate are about to open simultaneously across the entire Imperial City. Could we invite you and your wife to cut the ribbon?"

Yan’s Enterprise and Mainland Group are both developing theaters, but they take different approaches.

Mainland Group has strong financial resources and was the first to enter this field as a major group.

Therefore, Mainland Group holds a higher starting point and has developed the Imperial Capital Grand Theater, which covers hundreds of acres.

The Imperial Capital Grand Theater mainly hosts international events such as concerts by large orchestras, plays, world-famous musicals, and concerts by world-class musicians.

Whereas Yan’s Enterprise took a different path.

They collaborated with Imperial City’s top real estate firm, Fenghua Real Estate, to invest in several medium and small theaters, occupying an entire floor in various major commercial districts.

Their performances are mostly popular domestic productions and recently trending shows, primarily focusing on small theater plays.

Of course, they also host solo concerts for the public.

Though the starting point is low, the audience is wide.

Therefore, the first theater Yan’s trial opened in the center of Imperial City had a very successful business.

Afterwards, they quickly invested in developing branch theaters in various other commercial areas, creating a flourishing situation.

For Mainland Group, even though Yan’s Enterprise’s involvement in this field isn’t enough to overturn their leading position, it still caused a considerable stir.

At this moment, when Yan Zhengxiong mentioned the opening event, to Lu Jihan, it undoubtedly sounded somewhat provocative.

Lu Jihan looked at Yan Zhengxiong’s fox-like smiling face, slightly pressing his thin lips together.

His gaze swept over and he immediately noticed across the room was Yan Kejun, whose lips were tightly pressed, jaw clenched, with a very unpleasant, bitter expression.

He must have already known about Yinyin’s and his upcoming marriage.

Lu Jihan smirked in his heart and said with a smile, "Chairman Yan values this so highly, let me first thank you on behalf of Yinyin."

Beside him, Yan Kejun had already been unable to hold back, his hand at his side tightly clenched, teeth grinding audibly against his thin lips.

Seeing the woman he loves marry another man, and her wedding news splashed across the front pages of newspapers and magazines, was already a form of torture.

And now, he still had to invite her and her husband, feigning goodwill, to attend his own company’s ribbon-cutting ceremony...

If it weren’t for his uncle Yan Zhengxiong being there, he probably would have exploded by now.

He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, clenching his jaw tighter and tighter.

At this moment, Yan Zhengxiong’s gaze was fixed on Chi Wen across from him, saying, "Oh, Mr. Lu, this lovely lady is..."

Lu Jihan responded with an oh, and introduced, "This is my secretary Chi Wen. These gentlemen are Mr. Yan Zhengxiong, chairman of Yan Group, and Mr. Yan Kejun, general manager."

Pausing for a moment, he then said to Chi Wen, "Yan’s development is rapid, and they are planning to implement a new marketing management system, which is really exciting."

Chi Wen smiled and nodded, "In the future, I hope Chairman Yan and General Manager Yan can offer more guidance and advice."

Yan Zhengxiong responded with a smile, "Chi Wen? Ms. Chi, your name is truly distinctive."

Yan Kejun looked at Chi Wen in front of him, somewhat dazed.

He didn’t know if it was just an illusion, but he felt that this woman’s demeanor, her speaking tone, and her way of talking looked somewhat familiar.

He furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, but couldn’t recall where he had seen this woman named Chi Wen before.
