The hour drew closer to nine o'clock in the evening.
More and more people arrived to attend the banquet.
Among them were quite a few heads of major families and leaders of various industries, as well as some heavy-hitters wielding significant power, who gathered together in small groups, whispering among themselves.
Chu Yang and Qin Mengyin sat on the high platform, watching the crowd below.
A smug smile played on the corner of Qin Mengyin's lips as she said, "Mr. Chu, I just took a rough count, and nearly all the heads of small families and medium-sized families in Yunshui City have arrived."
"Quite a few of the major family heads, industry leaders, and the bigwigs holding real power have also come."
Chu Yang nodded indifferently.
Suddenly, Qin Mengyin's expression darkened as she continued, "However, there are still a few who have not attended."
Chu Yang said expressionlessly, "Don't bother with them. Nine o'clock has arrived, close the doors on time."
