Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn-Chapter 274 Yan Shixiu is my uncle.

The announcement of Shuangshi Establishment was indeed a grand event in Yancheng, as this powerful emerging group would have significant influence on Yancheng and even the whole country in the future.

Yan Shixiu’s inaugural press conference was scheduled to be held at ten in the morning in the banquet hall of Shuangshi Building. Today, business media and reporters were set to broadcast live the grand occasion of the Shuangshi Establishment.

The banquet hall of Shuangshi had been decorated into a highly technological modern exhibition hall, completely themed in blue, and the large screen behind the podium continuously flashed Shuangshi’s brand-new logo.

Seats for guests filled the area below the stage. It was clear that the guests who arrived today were no ordinary individuals.

At nine thirty, Shi Lan was led by her assistant into the banquet hall and placed in the most secluded corner.

"Miss An, I might not be able to attend to you later, you’ll have to bear with it," Xun Yinghua told Shi Lan, "If you’re bored, you can have some tea or enjoy the buffet."

"You don’t need to look after me, go ahead," Shi Lan picked up the promotional brochure of Shuangshi Group and started reading.

"If you need anything, remember to give me a call," Xun Yinghua said as he backed away, instructing Shi Lan.

"Mm," Shi Lan nodded her head. In fact, she barely had any issues that would bother Xun Yinghua; she knew how busy Yan Shixiu would be today.

Soon, guests began to arrive one after another. Most of them were familiar faces to Shi Lan, including, of course, the elegantly-dressed parents of the Yan Family and Yan Ziqing.

At that moment, Shi Lan finally understood why Yan Shixiu had concerns about her wanting to leave. She had underestimated her disdain for these three people. It wasn’t just because they were greedy; the deepest thorn in her heart was the fact that Yan’s father had turned Yan Shixiu into a commodity for business. And now, he was enjoying the glory brought by his son.

Guests gradually took their seats afterward.

Although curious about the young girl tucked in the corner, they simply assumed she was a family member of one of the guests, and did not associate her with Shuangshi. Because of this, they were relaxed enough to freely discuss today’s protagonist.

"The Yan Family really has good fortune. Look at Miss Yan, busy taking photos with everyone, as if she’s afraid people won’t realize she’s the younger sister of Shuangshi Yi Yuan’s president."

"A female tycoon in Asia, so what? After bustling about for half her life, in the end, the inheritance all goes to someone else. I really feel for Miss Shi’s grievances."

"Despite Shuangshi’s outward splendor, it’s a mess inside. After all, the president previously was engaged in practical industries. Although he took over Miss Shi’s businesses, how could he grasp it all immediately? I heard competitors are eyeing this chance, conspiring with raw material suppliers to drive up prices, whether it’s timber, steel, or stone, all eyeing this big cake at Shuangshi."

The young lady seemed to be scrolling through her phone, but in reality, she listened to all their gossip throughout.

Shi Lan had already seen it in the financial reports of Yan Shixiu’s company.

The opponents were doing this solely to slow down the progress of Shuangshi’s establishment.

But Yan Shixiu was never a procrastinator. Under high pressure, like having practiced iron-head skills, he did not delay the plans at all.

"I also heard that the Yan family goes to ask for authority every two or three days..."

"It’s not just today; the Yan family has always been like this. Even when Miss Shi was around, they loved playing these tricks. With their half-baked skills, they aren’t afraid of losing face in the circle."

No wonder, Uncle Yan had given a special instruction last night, no matter how harsh the words she heard today, she shouldn’t take them to heart.

The Yan Family, no matter how much they were cursed, it had nothing to do with her, but when the Yan Family, including Yan Shixiu, were despised and looked down upon together, she felt a fire in her heart.

Shi Lan had been listening to such rants for nearly half an hour.

Finally, a lady sitting next to her couldn’t hold back anymore and asked her softly, "Young lady, which family’s daughter are you?"

"Yan Shixiu is my uncle," Shi Lan replied succinctly.

Other people at the table: "..."

Finally, when the clock struck ten in the morning and after the host’s professional opening remarks, the main event of the day arrived—Shuangshi’s youngest chairman—Yan Shixiu! Such a peerless being, walking at the peak of the business world, was the center of attention in the entire circle.

Shi Lan sat in the corner watching her uncle on the stage, shining brightly, and suddenly felt a twinge of sourness in her heart.

Her man, why should he be admired by other women!?

"Welcome everyone, I am Yan Shixiu."

After saying this, Yan Shixiu swept his gaze across the audience from left to right, eventually stopping at a certain corner for a few seconds before nonchalantly shifting his gaze away.

"As everyone might know, a few months ago, my wife Shi Lan had a car accident in Thailand. Her departure placed a massive burden on my shoulders. Everyone thinks I’m very lucky – having lost my wife at my golden age, I inherited a fortune of hundreds of billions, instantly taking her place to become the richest man in Asia, enjoying wealth and fame. But you wouldn’t understand what is most precious to me."

"As of now, I announce my assumption of the chairman position of Shuangshi, and I will lead Shuangshi to expand territories. Here, I want to make a special announcement: I will not allow the Yan Family members to enter Shuangshi’s management. Nepotism is not my criterion for choosing people... I hope all Shuangshi employees remember my bottom line as well."

When Yan Shixiu’s words landed, everyone turned their gaze to the Yan Family members, who were just moments ago enjoying their limelight.

At that moment, Yan Shixiu’s slap, in front of everyone, landed hotly on several faces.

Yan’s father wanted to leave immediately, but was stopped by Yan’s mother, "Let’s speak nicely, why get so angry? Our son wants you to retire and enjoy life."

"I think he wants to anger me to death," Yan’s father couldn’t sit still anymore.

"Mom, the eldest brother is really too much! How can he treat our whole family like this? Isn’t he a member of the Yan Family?" Yan Ziqing also complained loudly, "It’s so humiliating, we came here to support him, but he treats us like this."

...

Yan Shixiu on the stage discussed the future direction of Shuangshi, and unveiled Shuangshi’s new technologies, new projects, and the focus on the forthcoming era of 5G. Even if people within the industry had heard of his capabilities, the fact that he could integrate Shuangshi and bring out so much in such a short time showed his capacity and ambition were not beneath that of his deceased wife.

Yan Shixiu stood on the stage for forty minutes, while Shi Lan listened for forty minutes from below.

It might sound particularly boring to outsiders, especially girls, but to Shi Lan, it represented Shuangshi’s grand future ambitions.

Shortly after Yan Shixiu stepped down, Yan Shixiu’s assistant walked over to Shi Lan’s side, and in front of the guests at their table, whispered to Shi Lan, "It’s over, Miss An, Mr. Yan asked me to take you back to the drama group."
