The award ceremony for outstanding entrepreneurs took place as scheduled at the Municipal Committee Reception Center. The four-story building of the reception center looked unremarkable from the outside, and even appeared a bit old. The decoration of the award hall was also very simple. At first glance, it might not even compare to an average three-star hotel; it was just neater.
But it was only after Nangong Yan mentioned it that Suming realized the unimpressive decorations in the hall were actually mostly imported goods. To use a rather vulgar phrase, it was low-key luxury.
As the ceremony was for private entrepreneurs, there wasn't an overly serious official atmosphere at the event. It was more like a small wine party held by a business association. Besides a few government officials, most of the attendees were social elites from Yangchuan City. Before the ceremonial event began, they naturally formed small groups here and there, chatting in corners of the venue.
