n169 Regret, Sadness!

nIn the venue, the crowd surged, and it was extremely lively.

nEveryone chatted as they walked, not willing to miss any opportunity to make friends.

nAfter all, such an opportunity was too rare.

nA moment later, everyone found their seats and sat down.

nAt this moment, a man in a suit with smooth hair and a medium build slowly walked onto the stage.

n“Welcome, everyone. You’ve come from all over the country and from thousands of miles away to participate in the Internet Conference…”

nThe man in the suit first gave an opening speech on the stage.

nHe seemed to have noticed that no one was interested in his words.

nHence, he quickly got to the main topic.

n“Perhaps, some people are not very clear… More than ten years ago, President Da Ma of Little Tanuki Group and President Xiao Ma of Penguin Group also participated in the Internet Conference. Moreover, they even chatted on stage for a long time.

n“Today, we’re fortunate enough to invite both presidents again. I wonder what they’ll say today? President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma, please come on stage.”

nImmediately, the entire venue erupted into extremely enthusiastic applause.

nDa Ma and Xiao Ma could be said to be legendary people.

nThe reason why many of them chose the internet industry was because of their admiration for them.

nNow that their idols were about to go on stage, they naturally welcomed them.

nMore people wanted to get the favor of both presidents, wanting them to invest in their own companies.

nClapping might deepen their impression of them, so naturally, the harder they clapped, the better.

nAmidst everyone’s cheers, both presidents finally walked onto the stage.

nDa Ma said, “The host was right. President Xiao Ma and I did stand on the stage together more than ten years ago. It’s fate that we can come up again today.

n“But there’s something different.” Back then, President Xiao Ma and I were just newcomers to the internet world. We didn’t chat on stage for long. We only said a few words before we were chased aside.”

nThe crowd immediately burst into laughter.

nIt had to be said that the fact that Da Ma could become a big shot in the current internet industry was indeed due to his ability.

nWith just a few words, the originally serious Internet Conference became much more relaxed.

nXiao Ma said, “President Da Ma is right. If I remember correctly, we probably just exchanged four sentences. After that, we went down. It can also be considered as us just showing our faces.

n“We showed our faces and spent more than ten years to reach our current level… Therefore, the Internet Conference is a very good platform.

n“Today, if you have the chance, come and show your faces and say a few more words… You’ll definitely be better off than us in the future…”

nThe two of them chatted for a while on the stage before getting ready to leave.

nAt this moment, there was the sound of brisk footsteps in the distance.

nLin Fan walked in slowly.

nSeeing this…

nDa Ma and Xiao Ma’s eyes lit up slightly.

nThey had always been curious about the person who had bought 5% of their company’s shares.

nHe had long wanted to meet him.

nThen, Da Ma and Xiao Ma walked up together and took the initiative to extend their hands. They smiled and said, “Hello, Mr. Lin.”

nThis scene…

nEveryone in the venue saw it.

nEveryone was shocked and guessed Lin Fan’s identity.

nHe was greeted by two internet tycoons at the same time, and he looked so young?

nIt was hard to imagine.

nActually, this was normal.

nAfter all, President Da Ma only held 8% of his company’s shares while Lin Fan held 5%. He became the third largest shareholder!

nPresident Xiao Ma only held 4.8% of the company’s shares while Lin Fan held 5%. From this point, Lin Fan even held more shares than President Xiao Ma and was the second largest shareholder of the company.

nLin Fan’s principle was that he would respond to how others treated him.

nNow, both presidents greeted him and took the initiative to shake his hand.

nIn that case, he definitely could not be rude.

nHence, Lin Fan stretched out his left and right hands at the same time and shook hands with the two presidents.

nQiao Shiya, who was sitting at the back, had seen the entire process of President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma walking off the stage and Lin Fan shaking hands with them.

nHer eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.

nWhat was the status of Da Ma and Xiao Ma?

nThey were the undisputed leaders of Hua Nation’s internet industry. They were super-rich men worth hundreds of billions!

nThey actually took the initiative to welcome Lin Fan and shake his hand?

nWhat was going on?

nThen, Qiao Shiya suddenly thought of the first time they met—the blind date. Lin Fan drove a Lamborghini and said that it was his car, but she thought that it was rented.

nThe second time they met, it was at Lianjia Real Estate Agency. Lin Fan took out a pile of real estate certificates for Washington Palace and said that the houses were his, but she thought that he was a real estate agent.

nThen, in front of the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex, Lin Fan said that all the villas were his…She just thought that he was bragging.

nHowever, now, President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma were treating him with respect…

nPerhaps, perhaps… Was what Lin Fan said true?

nIn an instant…

nRegret!

nEndless regret!

nLike a tide, it surged into Qiao Shiya’s heart.

nEndless sadness spread throughout her entire body.

nIf she had not despised Lin Fan during the blind date, she would not have had to work so hard these past few days.

nIn fact, she would already be driving a luxury car and living in a villa. She would be greeting and shaking hands with President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma.

n“Shiya, you’re next. Get ready.” The bald man beside her reminded her in a low voice.

nHowever, at this moment, Qiao Shiya’s heart was filled with regret and sadness. She did not hear the bald man’s words clearly.

nAt this moment, the round-faced man standing on the stage said, “Thank you, everyone.”

nImmediately, the crowd burst into loud applause.

nThe bald man saw that Qiao Shiya was still in her seat and did not move. He could not help but push her and say, “Why are you still sitting? It’s your turn. Go up quickly.”

nOnly then did Qiao Shiya react. However, her expression was still a little wooden, and she did not have the enthusiasm she had at the beginning.

n“Next, let’s welcome Qiao Shiya, the spokesperson of Kemo Software, onto the stage,” the host said.

nQiao Shiya was like a walking corpse. After spending a lot of effort, she finally walked onto the stage with difficulty.

nShe looked down and easily saw Lin Fan sitting next to President Da Ma and President Xiao Ma in the first row.

nInstantly, the bitterness and regret in her heart became even stronger.

nQiao Shiya had something on her mind and was in no mood to give a speech.

nThe effect of her speech was self-evident.

nShe stuttered and even said the wrong numbers often.

nWhen she left the stage, if not for some people’s politeness, there would have been a burst of sparse applause.

nIf the audience had not bothered to be polite, her speech would probably be ignored.
