I'm back in 1990

Chapter 827: Nan Hui's Speech

Taking advantage of the break, Huang Xiaochuan picked up a beautifully illustrated booklet in front of him and started looking at it. It was a promotional and investment brochure for the Pudong International Financial Center project.

According to the brochure, the entire project is a complex consisting of two twin towers and a large multi-story podium. One of the twin towers is a Grade A office building, and the other is an internationally renowned luxury hotel, which is currently under renovation. In addition, some floors are luxury serviced apartments, providing a high-quality living experience for high-end residents.

The massive podium section is used as a shopping mall, and it was originally designed to be the scale of the world's most high-end shopping mall. Therefore, in the near future, this will be a very high-end commercial center in China, and all the world's luxury brands will move in here.

The investment promotion work is currently underway, but Huang Xiaochuan never gets involved in these specific small matters; he just casually flips through the brochures.

Not long after, Gao Song came over to remind him, "Mr. Huang, they say the leaders have all arrived. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan put down the picture book, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Let's go!"

Just as they reached the door of the lounge, they bumped into another group of people.

Huang Xiaochuan spotted a familiar face, the old man's grandniece, Yu Yazhi, and greeted her naturally: "What a coincidence!"

Yu Yazhi was completely taken aback to see her Uncle Xiaochuan here, and was momentarily stunned. But she quickly recovered and greeted Huang Xiaochuan, "Hello, Uncle Xiaochuan!"

The people walking with her were all colleagues from Ellison Architects, many of whom were foreigners. So they didn't recognize who was talking to Yu Yazhi at first. Moreover, it is said that foreigners always think that Chinese people look alike, so they are definitely face-blind.

However, among Yu Yazhi's colleagues were also Chinese, and they felt that Huang Xiaochuan looked familiar, but they just couldn't remember who he was for the moment.

"Uncle Xiaochuan, what are you doing here?" Yu Yazhi didn't know that Guangda Real Estate Group also belonged to Huang Xiaochuan, which is why she asked this question.

Huang Xiaochuan countered, "Oh, you're here for the completion ceremony? And you?"

Yu Yazhi quickly replied, "This was designed by our company, so I'm here to attend the completion ceremony."

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Really? What a coincidence!"

Yu Yazhi's colleagues didn't wait long, leaving her alone to chat with Huang Xiaochuan while they headed towards the completion ceremony site.

Seeing that her colleagues had already walked away, Yu Yazhi quickly said goodbye to Huang Xiaochuan: "Uncle Xiaochuan, I'm sorry." As she spoke, she pointed apologetically at the backs of her colleagues.

Huang Xiaochuan understood perfectly, and waved to her with a smile, "Go on ahead!"

"See you later, Uncle Xiaochuan!" After saying that, Yu Yazhi ran off to catch up with her colleagues.

After Yu Yazhi caught up with her colleague, Qi Xiao, one of her closer colleagues, asked her, "Yazhi, was that your uncle? He looked so young! And he seemed familiar too. What does he do?"

"Oh! He's my great-uncle's last disciple, so according to seniority I have to call him uncle." Yu Yazhi didn't reveal Huang Xiaochuan's identity to her colleagues; in her opinion, there was no need to.

But by this time she had a rough idea of ​​why Huang Xiaochuan was here. If she wasn't mistaken, this super commercial complex might be Xiaochuan's uncle's property. Otherwise, why would he be here? He's a well-known low-profile person.

"Wait a minute." Qi Xiao seemed to have realized something. "I heard you call him Uncle Xiao Chuan just now, so is his name Huang Xiao Chuan?"

Yu Yazhi was unsure whether to say yes or no, her expression hesitant. But it was precisely because of this expression that Qi Xiao concluded that the person who had just spoken to Yu Yazhi was Huang Xiaochuan, Asia's richest man. After all, this man was a frequent figure in financial news. Although there weren't many photos of him, the person in the photos looked very similar to the one in the photos.

She covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "My God! Yazhi, I never expected you to know Huang Xiaochuan, and you even call him uncle?"

At this moment, some colleagues couldn't help but look at the two of them. Qi Xiao quickly composed herself and whispered to Yu Yazhi, "What's he doing here?"

Yu Yazhi shook her head and admitted, "I really don't know." But Yu Yazhi didn't realize that by answering like this, she was admitting that the person she had just spoken to was Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia.

The completion ceremony was held in the entrance hall of the International Financial Center. The lights above the hall illuminated the entire hall very brightly, and a huge red backdrop was erected in front of it, with the guest seating area in front of the backdrop.

Guided by staff, Huang Xiaochuan discreetly sat in the first row of the guest seats, next to several leaders from the city and district.

When the leaders met Huang Xiaochuan, they shook hands with him and exchanged a few pleasantries, which caused the reporters present to point their cameras at them, and the flashes almost blinded Huang Xiaochuan.

At 10:00 AM sharp, the ceremony began on time. The host was a vice president of Guangda Real Estate. After giving a warm and enthusiastic opening speech, he solemnly invited Ms. Nan Hui, the president of Guangda Real Estate Group, to the stage to deliver a speech.

Having always been good at socializing, Nan Hui has honed her skills in the business world over the years, and now her every move is very methodical. In her speech, she thanked the government for its support, her partners, and her team for their efforts, and she exuded a strong presence.

In the last few rows of the guest seating area, Yu Yazhi sat with her colleagues. Qi Xiao, who was sitting next to her, had been in a state of excitement ever since he learned Huang Xiaochuan's identity.

"Yazhi, your uncle is sitting with the city leaders! My goodness! He looks even younger than in the magazine photos!"

"Can you please keep your voice down?" Yu Yazhi looked around at her colleagues with an embarrassed expression, while reminding Qi Xiao to shut up.

"What's there to be afraid of! It's not a bad thing!" Qi Xiao said dismissively.

Yu Yazhi quickly grabbed Qi Xiao's arm: "Okay, okay! Let's get down to business in the meeting."

After Nan Hui's speech, city leaders spoke, followed by the completion and ribbon-cutting ceremony. Huang Xiaochuan was invited to the stage to join city and district leaders, Nan Hui, and several other important guests in completing the ceremony.

After the ceremony, the city and district leaders left first, and Huang Xiaochuan said a few words to Nan Hui.

Gao Song was standing not far from the two of them with a phone in his hand. Huang Xiaochuan knew at a glance that there was an important call coming in. After he finished speaking to Nan Hui in a few words, he gestured to Gao Song.

Gao Song quickly jogged over and handed the phone to his boss: "Mr. Huang! He's calling for you."
