After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

The top floor of the commercial building.

This place is not usually open to the public, but today the higher-ups are holding a meeting here, so the highest level of access has been specially granted.

After Lin Fan and Lin Shuying took the elevator up, the first thing they saw was rows of seats, with a total of nearly two or three hundred seats.

Then there was a row of ten seats on the booth, all covered with red cloth and set with tea. These were probably where the leaders would sit later.

Despite realizing that there would be a lot of competitors today, Lin Fan still unconsciously frowned as he looked at the vast exhibition hall.

He wasn't sure if the assurances given to him by his supervisor were valid.

However, Lin Fan didn't dwell on it too much. That's just how things are in this world; do your best and leave the rest to fate.

I've already tried my best, and if it really doesn't work, there's nothing I can do.

"Honey, come sit here!"

Lin Fan and Lin Shuying walked into the hall, where at least half of the seats were occupied.

Moreover, the vast majority of them were middle-aged men and women, with very few as young as Lin Fan and his group.

In addition, the two were very good-looking, which made people in the exhibition hall take a second look.

Lin Fan led Lin Shuying to sit in a corner by the window.

Lin Shuying was quite nervous, as it was her first time in such a place and the first time she had worn such beautiful clothes in front of so many people.

So after sitting down, Lin Fan held Lin Shuying's hands and patted them gently to encourage her.

Before long, more and more people entered the exhibition hall, and the leaders also began to enter one after another.

Unsurprisingly, Deputy Director Fu was among them, and he was one of the two sitting in the very middle of the ten seats.

After entering, the deputy leader scanned the crowd and quickly spotted Lin Fan.

Lin Fan also cooperated by showing a surprised and nervous expression, as if he hadn't expected that the deputy leader would be the judge today.

"Old Ye, there are quite a few people here. I heard that at least twenty companies from Liangshan County alone are coming. Are you really confident?"

Ye Fuhai and Wang Shuping arrived relatively late.

Since there were only a few seats left in the exhibition hall when they arrived, they had no choice but to sit at the very back.

Looking at the densely packed crowd ahead, Wang Shuping spoke again with concern.

Hearing his wife's words, Ye Fuhai couldn't help but lean close to Wang Shuping's ear and whisper, "To tell you the truth, I've already spoken to three of the ten judges on stage this time."

"In short, we paid a considerable price to gain their firm support. That means that when the vote comes later, at least three people will support our Ye family and be elected as a government-supported enterprise in Liangshan County."

"Plus, given the Ye family's own seniority, there are few in the entire Liangshan County who can compare to us. There are definitely many leaders who already have their eyes on us. In short, this matter is absolutely a sure thing!"

Hearing her husband's words, Wang Shuping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's election process was very simple. Each county had a list of participating companies, and the leaders at the top supported a particular company. When the company's name was called, everyone simply raised their hands to vote. Each person only had one vote.

In other words, more than 20 companies in Liangshan County were competing for only 10 votes, and they immediately got 3 votes, which gave them a huge advantage.

This is the advantage of receiving advance notice; it gives you time to deal with things and make necessary arrangements.

Most people here only received the government's notice yesterday, and then rushed to the county town today without any preparation. No wonder they can't compete with them.

"what!"

Just as Ye Fuhai was feeling somewhat smug, he suddenly heard Wang Shuping exclaim in surprise.

Ye Fuhai couldn't help but glare at his wife and whispered, "Alright, stop shouting. Just keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone else."

Ye Fuhai thought Wang Shuping was surprised that he had arranged everything in advance.

However, upon hearing Ye Fuhai's words, Ye Shuping stammered, "No, no, Lao Ye, look at that person by the window, he looks kind of familiar."

"He does... he does look a bit like Lin Fan..."

Ye Fuhai was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously retorted, "How could that be?"

"To participate in this summit, you have to be a well-known local company. Lin Fan just runs a few small shops and does some small business. What qualifications does he have to receive an invitation?"

Although Lin Fan had made quite a name for himself, in Ye Fuhai's eyes, Lin Fan was still just running a small business. Putting aside everything else, just comparing the number of employees under their command, how many employees could Lin Fan's few small shops possibly have? At most, less than ten.

And he, with all his businesses, various factories, workers, salespeople, etc., employs at least several thousand people.

Only people of this size are qualified to be invited by the government to participate in this summit.

Furthermore, only enterprises of this caliber deserve government support. You can't possibly let the government use such a valuable quota to support a small street stall, can you?

At least in Ye Fuhai's eyes, the businesses Lin Fan ran were no different from street vendors, at most just slightly more upscale ones.

"You, see for yourself!"

Wang Shuping spoke with a slight stutter.

Ye Fuhai sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Then he froze on the spot, his face full of disbelief.

"This...this really is Lin Fan? How is this possible?"

Not far away, a young couple sat in two seats by the window. The man was dressed in a well-fitting suit, his hair was neatly styled, and he always had a calm and serene smile on his face.

Those sculpted features and handsome face—who else could it be but Lin Fan? He couldn't possibly be mistaken!

"Impossible! How could this be? He's not even qualified to be here. There must be a mistake!"

Ye Fuhai's face was grim as he muttered to himself.

Lin Fan's sudden appearance gave him an extremely ominous feeling.

He never took Lin Fan seriously. He acknowledged that Lin Fan was exceptionally talented and had the potential to surpass him in the future, creating a business empire even larger than the Ye family's.

However, that's all for the future. Right now, Lin Fan is just a young dragon that hasn't grown up yet, and he's not qualified to be compared to him at all.

But now, he's sitting right next to me at the same trade summit, competing for the same spot. Doesn't that mean he's now on equal footing with me? How absurd!
