202: Chapter 202: The Brilliant Opening Show_1 202: Chapter 202: The Brilliant Opening Show_1 Xiangdong Plaza, officially Xiangdong Fashion Shopping Plaza, is rather a shopping center than a square.
Despite being a comrcial project, after excluding the landscape and green belts, the number of people the outer square can actually accommodate is limited, at most two to three thousand.
However, Xiangdong removed all the landscaping fountains and green belts on the outer square for the successful holding of Wei Moran’s concert, and since the neighboring piece of land also belonged to Xiangdong, they managed to expand the space into a square capable of accommodating ten thousand people.
Ten thousand people is already the limit, the limit of the venue, the limit of security.
Any larger, even the public security authorities would not agree.
At the entrance to the outer square, there were complicated flow-limiting fences set up like a maze, and just entering took at least three to five minutes.
The people coming to watch the concert this ti did not need tickets.
Those who had bought tickets could process refunds online, with a validity period of two months.
With two hours left until the grand opening of the project, all entrances opened simultaneously, and the security staff let people in batch by batch.
Those who didn’t follow the order, cut in line, or climbed over the fences, once found, were imdiately expelled and not allowed entry.
Even so, it still took a full two hours, with several batches of security staff shouting themselves hoarse, to let everyone in.
Those who ca later could only stand regretfully at the curb, looking on with binoculars.
Inside the square, tal barriers divided the area into over a dozen large sections, each filled with a sea of people.
Between the sections, there were passageways with nurous staff mbers running back and forth, maintaining order.
The stage, several ters high, was majestic and spectacular.
Directly in front of the stage, there were seats reserved for leaders and guests.
At this mont, Sun Xiangdong and his son were full of vim and vigor, greeting one business leader after another from Tiannan, and even so enterprise owners who had made the trip from other places.
“Li, welco, thanks for coming!”
“Boss Zhang, ah, long ti no see!”
“Mr.
Zhao, I was just ntioning you!”
Sun Xiangdong bead with smiles, continually greeting people.
The other bosses also had smiling faces, heaping praises on Sun Xiangdong without pause.
“Boss Sun, this is a really big move this ti.
After today, your project will gain fa throughout Tiannan, a landmark in its own right!”
“Manager Sun, to be able to invite Wei Tianhou is really sothing!
We’ll need to support each other more in the future!”
“Manager Sun, I want to reserve a floor in the office buildings you’ll be developing later, to bask in the ambiance of this place!”
One after another, these prominent people were chatting and laughing with Sun Xiangdong.
Dozens of dia reporters, jostling to get to the front, continuously snapped photos with their caras, flashes going off non-stop.
This was not rely an opening; it had turned into a grand business event.
Sun Yiran followed by Sun Xiangdong’s side, responding appropriately, receiving continuous praise from the bigwigs, his eyes excited and cheeks slightly flushed with excitent.
“Deputy Director Wang Liangbei of Tiannan City Investnt Promotion Bureau has arrived!”
…
“Director Zhao Donglai of Tiannan City Urban Planning Bureau has arrived!”
…
Whispers of awe spread through the crowd.
The bigwigs present all were moved.
The arrivals were none other than senior leaders.
Sun Xiangdong’s eyes sparkled as he quickly led Sun Yiran to greet them.
Such leaders were usually too busy; when attending a comrcial event, they would only arrive just as it was starting and would leave after staying a short while.
But this ti, the leaders had actually arrived early!
Sun Xiangdong felt honored, his face beaming with pride.
After the leaders from the Investnt Bureau and district-level leaders, so city-level leaders also arrived.
“Secretary Zhang Qian from the mayor’s office is here too!”
The multitude of bigwigs exclaid in surprise.
To have the mayor’s top secretary attend was like the mayor himself had co in person!
The guests and leaders in the VIP seats all stood up to greet them.
Reporters bustled about, frantically capturing the highlights.
“Please, everyone take a seat.” Zhang Qian, the mayor’s secretary, said with a smile, warm and easygoing.
Sun Xiangdong bowed slightly, respectfully ushering Zhang Qian to the pri seat.
When all the leaders were seated, Sun Xiangdong was surprised to find that there were still ten minutes before the event started!
The leaders were truly giving face!
“Boss Sun, the mayor has entrusted to relay a ssage to you.
Tiannan’s economic developnt needs courageous and enterprising doers like you.
He wishes your project complete success!” Zhang Qian said to Sun Xiangdong with a smile.
“I thank the mayor for his care.
Xiangdong will certainly contribute its modest efforts to the economic developnt of Tiannan!” Sun Xiangdong quickly stated his position.
The surrounding bosses couldn’t help but click their tongues in secret upon hearing the conversation between the two.
This ti, Xiangdong Group might truly be unstoppable, soaring to the skies.
Sun Xiangdong was overjoyed, and Sun Yiran by his side was even more full of pride.
This was the might of the Sun Family.
Thousands gathered for the opening ceremony, a host of business magnates, and governnt officials convened—could ordinary people even aspire to this?
“Bai Xiaosheng, even if you work hard for another ten years, you might not reach my current height!
A person’s abilities are nothing compared to a good background!” Sun Yiran laughed wildly in his heart.
Now, to him, Bai Xiaosheng was nothing more than a re mortal, hardly worth a sneer.
Next on the opening ceremony agenda was a speech by Zhang Qian, followed by a ribbon-cutting by the leadership guests.
Sun Xiangdong had specially invited the city’s top-tier acrobatic, dance, and vocal troupes to support the event.
Although the performances were also incredibly spectacular, as ti went on, the scene beca sowhat restless; after all, the ten thousand people were here for Wei Moran.
Finally, a series of loud noises erupted from above the crowd, the sound of the wind roaring.
Four helicopters flew in from four different directions, forming a circle directly above the square, hovering over the heads of the crowd.
Colorful petals fell from the sky, actual flower petals, and then another helicopter flew in from the outskirts, carrying a vine-woven chair with a woman in a white dress like snow, making her descent to the stage!
Although it was dayti and there were no stage lights, this shower of flowers from the sky and the unique way of making an entrance stunned the crowd.
After the helicopters dispersed.
The plaza of ten thousand people boiled over.
“Wei Moran, Wei Moran!”
“Goddess, Goddess!”
The excited shouts rged into a tidal wave, echoing through the sky.
Wei Moran, in a flowing white dress, bowed to her fans on stage.
For a mont, screams rose and fell, and many fans were moved to tears.
Even the leaders and guests were srized, inwardly exclaiming, “What an opening show, what a Wei Tianhou, a celestial being descending to the mundane world!”
Sun Yiran’s eyes burned with intensity as he gazed at Wei Moran, reluctant to even blink.
“I’m so close to the goddess!
Bai Xiaosheng, you could never reach this distance in your lifeti!”
Whenever Sun Yiran encountered anything exciting and joyous, he would think of that boy who had humiliated him, and such thoughts gave him imnse satisfaction.
One at the apex, the other ordinary and plain.
There’s no comparison!
Sun Yiran smiled proudly.
After Wei Moran greeted everyone, she said so words of thanks, and then the concert officially began.
As the singing started, the entire place fell silent.
Ten thousand people were enraptured.
When the song ended, ten thousand cheered.
Their voices shook heaven and earth.
In comparison to this place, Teles Square was utterly desolate.
So much so that when Han Shuying reached Bai Xiaosheng’s office, she couldn’t help but make a comnt.
“Did your people sneak off to Xiangdong to watch the concert?”
