Upon hearing this, he and Qiu Deming exchanged a knowing smile.
In fact, the reason Chen the Second attended today was because Qiu Deming invited him.
The intention behind Qiu Deming inviting Second Master Chen was simple: to create montum for Qiushi.
Qiushi had been back for quite so ti, but still couldn't take control of Qiu Company, which made Qiu Deming very anxious.
What worried him was that the position of the future heir of the Qiu Family might not fall to his son.
This was because when the old patriarch of the Qiu Family was alive, he set a rule that the heir, regardless of gender, must be the most capable.
As a result, the competition for the Qiu Family heir beca so intense.
But none of the other heirs had an advantage. In the Qiu Family, the only two truly qualified to inherit the family's assets were Qiu Qianyu and Qiushi.
Because Qiushi was the eldest son of the Qiu Family and was favored by Old Mrs. Chang Lan, inheriting the family's assets seed legitimate.
However, Qiushi was widely acknowledged as a playboy in the Qiu Family, with no skills or learning.
Yet, Old Mrs. Chang Lan simply adored him.
As for Qiu Qianyu, although a girl, her abilities were undeniable.
Over the years, she had managed the family's assets in an orderly manner.
Even Old Mrs. Chang Lan, in fact, highly praised Qiu Qianyu's abilities.
But there's no way around it, Old Mrs. Chang Lan just preferred Qiushi, which was an unchangeable fact.
Therefore, she's been suppressing Qiu Qianyu vigorously, solely to help Qiushi rise to beco the successor of the Qiu Family.
However, Old Mrs. Chang Lan was always in a passive position.
Because Qiu Qianyu had been in charge of Qiu Company for so many years, her position was extrely stable.
Even though Old Mrs. Chang Lan was the patriarch of the Qiu Family, she couldn't replace Qiu Qianyu directly.
And today presented an opportunity for Qiushi.
Because, above Old Mrs. Chang Lan, there were three top figures in the Qiu Family.
If they could clearly support Qiushi, then his rise to power would be a breeze.
Thus, under Old Mrs. Chang Lan's benefit, Qiu Deming personally took action and invited many influential figures on the day of the Qiu Family's ancestral worship.
The presence of these powerhouses, besides bringing prestige to the Qiu Family, served as implicit support for Qiushi.
This way, when the Qiu Family's three elders saw Qiushi's strength, their inclination would tilt towards supporting him.
This was the cunning plan of Old Mrs. Chang Lan and Qiu Deming.
And Second Master Chen was rely the first distinguished guest to arrive.
Just at that mont, the steward reported again.
"President Feng from Fenggong Group is here!"
Another heavyweight figure arrived, causing another stir in the Qiu Family.
Fenggong Group was a major local conglorate, and President Feng was a well-known figure in the region.
The Qiu Family was rely a small second-rate local family, yet they managed to invite a personage like President Feng, no wonder it caused such a commotion.
President Feng's status was no less than that of Second Master Chen, so even he had to stand up to greet the newcor.
"President Feng, didn't expect you to co. You must be very busy!"
Second Master Chen laughed and greeted President Feng.
President Feng walked over, smiling as he patted Second Master Chen on the shoulder, and said cheerfully, "Second Master Chen, you're here too."
"As for being busy, of course. But no matter how busy, I must co over to give Lao Qiu so face."
Qiu Deming was beaming with pride, reveling in the envious glances from the surrounding Qiu Family mbers.
The Qiu Family indeed felt envious.
Although the Qiu Family wasn't large, it had quite a few mbers.
After all, who among them had the skills of Qiu Deming, being able to invite big figures like Second Master Chen and President Feng?
"Elder Qian, Vice President of the Hai Zhou Chamber of Comrce, has arrived!"
Another loud announcent stunned everyone in the Qiu Family again.
Subsequently, the entire Qiu Family was in an uproar, buzzing with excitent.
Elder Qian, Vice President of the Hai Zhou Chamber of Comrce, was a leading figure in the local business world.
Moreover, Elder Qian was notoriously hard to impress and typically didn't attend events.
It truly was a surprise that the Qiu Family's ancestral worship could actually bring him here.
Qiu Deming's mouth spread into a wide grin as he eagerly led Qiushi out to greet and deliberately let Qiushi make an impression in front of Elder Qian.
"Haha, this young man is the most outstanding and promising Mr. Qiushi. I must congratulate the Qiu Family for having such a dragon among n. The Qiu Family is surely on the rise."
Elder Qian smiled broadly, showering Qiushi with complints.
Of course, Elder Qian was pleased as well.
After all, Qiu Deming sent him a generous gift last night, which he greatly appreciated.
