The first three rows at the venue were empty but had nameplates on them—these seats were reserved for high-profile individuals, well-known names that Lin Feng recognized from television news broadcasts.
The invitation from Gu Lin placed them relatively near the front, yet they had no opportunity to sit in the very first rows. Lin Feng glanced around and noticed Li Haoyun and Ally not far away in the same row.
When Lin Feng looked over, Ally and Li Haoyun noticed and saw that it was him. Ally frowned, evidently thinking that Lin Feng, with his status, shouldn't be seated near the front.
As more people entered, the leaders, all major political and business figures, typically seen only in the news by the general public, made their entrance only after the venue was almost fully occupied.
