Volume One, Chapter 12: A Grand Entrance
In the resplendent and magnificent banquet hall of the Tianlong International Hotel, the atmosphere was both lively and solemn.
Standing on the stage, Li Dingguo curled a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth.
That smile carried the pride of having precisely grasped the situation.
He took in the astonishment, regret, and curiosity mingling on the faces of the guests below.
Everything unfolded exactly as he had anticipated, even surpassing his expectations.
He understood that in this arena where commerce and socializing intertwined, capturing attention was only the first step.
And Ye Tian was his trump card.
Ye Tian’s stunning entrance was undoubtedly like a heavy bomb dropped into a still lake, instantly stirring up countless waves and successfully locking everyone’s gaze upon him.
For the soon-to-be-launched Dingyan Elixir, this was an exhilarating fanfare to herald its arrival.
It was an exceptional opportunity for promotion, bound to elevate the elixir’s marketing to new heights.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ye Tian, Mr. Ye,” Li Dingguo said, raising his chin slightly. His voice suddenly soared, ringing through the hall like a mighty bell.
Each word carried solemnity and reverence.
His gaze slowly swept across every guest, emphasizing the importance of this name.
Without a doubt, Li Dingguo was an excellent orator.
All the guests were drawn to his voice.
Ye Tian?
The rumored creator of the Dingyan Elixir was indeed a man named Ye Tian?
It seemed the rumor was true!
The Li family had indeed put Ye Tian forward!
All the guests became alert.
The hall fell into silence.
A faint smile appeared on Li Dingguo’s lips.
He continued to introduce Ye Tian to the guests.
“Though young, Mr. Ye Tian’s achievements in medicine and pharmacology far exceed common imagination…”
As he spoke, Li Dingguo turned slightly, extending his arm in a gesture inviting Ye Tian to step forward.
Ye Tian felt a bit helpless.
But since he was already on stage, he had no choice but to cooperate.
He took a steady, confident step forward.
His confidence radiated from his very bones.
Only those truly powerful possessed such an aura of assuredness.
No detail on stage escaped the discerning eyes of the seasoned guests.
At this moment, all eyes in the hall were fixed on Ye Tian.
They seemed eager to uncover more mysteries from his expression and demeanor.
“The Dingyan Elixir is primarily the crystallization of Mr. Ye Tian’s wisdom,” Li Dingguo continued passionately.
“He is the founder of Dingyan Elixir!”
His voice brimmed with an unmistakable pride, as if proclaiming a great discovery to the world.
A ripple of excitement swept through the audience.
All rumors had finally been officially confirmed.
The guests were thrilled, their gazes on Ye Tian burning even hotter.
Li Dingguo’s voice went on.
“This elixir combines multiple precious medicinal ingredients…”
“Every ingredient we use has been meticulously selected…”
“The sources of these ingredients are strictly controlled, some coming from remote, seldom-trodden mountains or distant, mysterious foreign lands…”
“And the method of refining Dingyan Elixir is truly unique.”
“It is the product of countless experiments and research by Mr. Ye Tian, blending ancient secret recipes with modern technology to create a one-of-a-kind process.”
Li Dingguo paused briefly, a hint of mystery in his eyes, whetting the appetite of the audience before continuing:
“The Dingyan Elixir boasts astonishing beauty-enhancing effects…”
“Not only does it delay skin aging, as if pressing a pause button on time, making the traces of years difficult to etch wrinkles upon the skin…”
“But it also improves skin texture, whether dry and rough or dull and lifeless, under the miraculous effect of Dingyan Elixir, the skin gradually radiates youthful brilliance, becoming delicate, smooth, fair, and translucent, as if returning to the days of youth…”
As Li Dingguo painted a vivid picture, the audience gradually recovered from their initial shock.
The sharp-eyed, meticulous business elites instantly shed their astonishment, replacing it with focused and serious expressions, listening intently to every detail about Dingyan Elixir.
They understood perfectly well that this seemingly lavish launch was far more than a mere social gathering; it was laden with immense commercial interests and cooperation opportunities.
The Li family wielded immense influence in the business world, and the Dingyan Elixir was placed under great expectations, its market potential boundless.
This event was a crucial juncture in their future commercial layout—a key step to expanding the market and increasing profits. The depth and breadth of cooperation with the Li family might well be established at this very launch.
Thus, they dared not slacken in the slightest.
Every detail and every piece of data at the event could become vital for their decisions.
Yet the reactions of the female guests were entirely different from those of the male business elites.
Of course, they understood the enormous commercial value behind Dingyan Elixir and dreamed of the wealth it could bring them.
For example, the generous profits from becoming its agents.
Moreover, they wondered if using Dingyan Elixir themselves would make them more beautiful and captivating, able to enchant men even more deeply...
But most importantly, it was Ye Tian.
The female guests’ thoughts were captivated more by Ye Tian himself.
Before learning his identity, they might have seen Ye Tian as just an inconspicuous stranger in the crowd.
Mistaking him for a freeloading petty thief wouldn’t have been surprising.
But now, in their eyes, Ye Tian seemed instantly enveloped in a dazzling halo, radiating irresistible charm.
After all, Ye Tian was the true creator of Dingyan Elixir.
He was almost like a treasure trove, possessing the magic to turn stone into gold.
Since he had forged the Li family’s current glory and paved a broad avenue to the pinnacle of wealth, naturally he had the power to bring immense fortune to other companies as well.
In the minds of these female guests, the wonder of Dingyan Elixir had already stirred their hearts, and Ye Tian, its creator, had become a rare gem in their eyes.
They firmly believed that such an extraordinarily talented man surely had more than one masterpiece.
This priceless treasure of Dingyan Elixir might have a second or third version yet to be discovered under Ye Tian’s hands...
Suddenly, Ye Tian seemed much more appealing.
Tall, handsome, composed, and wise...
He was undoubtedly a sight to behold.
Damn it!
Who was it that called Ye Tian a thief just now?
They were utterly blind!
Such a handsome and outstanding young man could never be a thief!
Even a blind person wouldn’t have made such a mistake!
The female guests felt a twinge of regret.
How had they been so wrong earlier?
Yet more than regret, their eyes now sparkled with excitement.
That light shimmered with admiration and greed.
They were already coveting Ye Tian eagerly.
In their hearts, they quietly schemed how to win him over.
