After Listening to What Inside My Mind the Female Leads Want to Flung Into My Harem -
Chapter 248 – What you’re drinking is not wine, but culture
Upon hearing that the matter concerned the position of the president, everyone perked up their ears.
The vice president smiled slightly and said, "As per tradition, the president's position is decided by a vote from all of you. However, before we proceed with the voting, I have an announcement to make."
"We have a new core member joining us, and it's Mr. Ye, who is seated beside me."
"Mr. Ye is young and promising, with an impressive net worth. Both I and the other three vice presidents unanimously recognize Mr. Ye's qualifications."
"Now, let's invite Mr. Ye to speak."
After saying this, he began to lead the applause, and everyone followed suit.
Ye Qiu smiled calmly, stood up, and said, "I'm delighted to join the Pearl Chamber of Commerce and look forward to working with all of you."
After his brief speech, he sat down, indicating he was done speaking.
He really couldn't be bothered to waste words with these people.
The ten most core families were already under his complete control.
Even if he wasn't the president of the chamber, he still called the shots here!
"Alright, let's proceed with the voting to select a talented president who can lead us to continue making money."
The vice president smiled and said, "My vote goes to Mr. Ye."
"I also vote for Mr. Ye."
"Mr. Ye is a rare business genius, and I think he's very suitable to be the president."
The heads of several other families all expressed their intention to cast their precious votes for Ye Qiu.
Seeing these family heads begin to vote, the remaining core members naturally followed suit and voted for Ye Qiu.
Thus, Ye Qiu, a newcomer who had just made his appearance, was unanimously elected as the president of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce.
Many core members were extremely envious of this.
What they could only dream of obtaining was effortlessly within his grasp!
Seeing the envious and respectful gazes directed at him, Ye Qiu felt a thrill from head to toe.
In Yanjing, he was famously known as the King of Soft Rice, stepped on by everyone.
But in Pearl, it only took him a few days to reach the top!
Just as he was about to stand up and give a speech, a series of footsteps sounded from outside the door.
Yang Zhilan walked in with a frosty expression and said, "I am here to veto the election of the president on behalf of my father."
Upon seeing Yang Zhilan, everyone in the chamber turned their gazes towards her, then curiously looked at Yang Chongshan.
What was going on with the Yang family?
Wasn't Yang Chongshan supposed to be the representative?
Yang Chongshan stood beside Ye Qiu with a gloomy face and whispered, "Sorry, Young Master Ye, I had her locked up, but someone in the family must have helped her."
"No worries."
Ye Qiu shook his head with a smile. After all, she was the woman he had his eyes on, and she did have some tricks up her sleeve.
Then he looked at Yang Zhilan and smiled.
"Zhilan, is there any point in struggling at this point? Your father is almost done for, right? The chamber wasn't founded by him, and it's certainly not up to you."
"Don't call me Zhilan. Hearing you say my name makes me sick."
Yang Zhilan said with a displeased expression.
Now, just seeing Ye Qiu made her feel nauseated!
Ye Qiu chuckled and walked up to Yang Zhilan with a confident expression.
"Don't worry, you'll soon be begging me to call you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhilan's phone rang.
After answering the call, her face turned ashen.
It was a call from the company.
They said that the stock price, which had been painstakingly raised today, was suddenly slammed down by a large amount of capital.
Moreover, the opponent was coming on strong, and with the Yang family's current financial resources, they could only barely hold on!
She glared at Ye Qiu, knowing this was the Ye family's revenge against the Yang family!
Ye Qiu's smile grew even wider; this was indeed a meticulously planned show by him.
The previous days' stock price suppression was just a minor pressure, giving the Yang family a little stress.
The real show was just beginning today!
Today, the Dragon Soul organization and the other nine great families would mobilize massive funds together!
They would crazily suppress the Yang family's stock price, paving the way for his low-cost acquisition!
"You'll soon be begging me on your knees to take you."
After taunting her, Ye Qiu shook his head and turned back.
He no longer had any affection for Yang Zhilan in his heart.
Only hatred, which is why he wanted to toy with her like a plaything!
"Zhilan, leave now, don't disgrace our Yang family here."
Yang Chongshan seized the opportunity to sternly reprimand her, his face dark.
Then he placed the specially brought tribute wine on the table and said, "To celebrate Young Master Ye becoming the president of our Pearl Chamber of Commerce, I have specially brought our Yang family's treasured wine. Let's all have a drink to celebrate."
With that, he had someone bring clean glasses, opened the bottle, and poured a glass for everyone.
With the advancement of brewing technology, people in China had become accustomed to drinking baijiu.
Seeing the yellow wine in the glasses, they felt a sense of novelty and anticipation.
This was the Yang family's long-preserved fine wine!
Last time, a great family offered a million to buy a bottle back but couldn't get it.
Only when there was a great celebration in the Yang family did people have the chance to taste it.
Rare things are precious, and for such fine wine, everyone's expectations were naturally high.
"Young Master Ye, please."
Yang Chongshan held the wine glass with a respectful and flattering expression, handing the filled glass to Ye Qiu.
"You're too kind."
Ye Qiu laughed heartily, seeing the flattering expressions on these people's faces, and then seeing Yang Zhilan's bitter and helpless face.
He was ecstatic inside.
Holding this glass of tribute wine, which could be called liquid gold.
He raised his glass and smiled, "Come, everyone, let's drink this cup."
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
With a look of delight, they savored the taste of this century-old tribute wine.
Ye Qiu held a sip of wine in his mouth, using his tongue to carefully savor it.
He loved drinking, especially these precious aged wines.
In his words, he wasn't just drinking wine.
He was savoring the history and cultural sediment of the wine!
To put it bluntly, he was drinking status!
Why do rich people like luxury goods? Is it really because luxury goods are useful?
To be frank, it's just for showing off.
Drinking is the same principle.
After being a son-in-law for five years, he now desperately needed to show off to satisfy his empty heart!
This yellow wine, unlike baijiu, had a relatively lower alcohol content.
The taste was softer, smoother, yet rich.
The rich aroma gradually spread in the mouth.
"Not bad, truly good wine."
After finishing it in one gulp, he poured himself another glass from the bottle and continued to savor it.
This yellow wine, stored for many years, had a lower alcohol content but an excellent taste, making it an ultimate enjoyment to drink.
