All the attention of the entire population of Jingdu was focused on this election. It was almost as popular as a presidential election. All the major media outlets were already waiting at the conference venue.

The meeting was being held at the Jingdu Hotel. This historic hotel had hosted the elections before and was selected to be the election venue again. This hotel had witnessed the changes in history and the development of Jingdu over time.

The entrance of the hotel had been swarmed by reporters from all the major media outlets since early in the morning. All the major families had arranged for security personnel to maintain order. Only a few of the financial media and newspaper reporters had received admission tickets to enter the hotel to conduct interviews and cover the election.

There were quite a number of people attending the meeting. Every family had sent two representatives. From the Han family, Han Hongbin was the first to arrive with Han Yaotian.

Initially, they had thought that if they arrived early, there would not be so many reporters chasing after them, and there would not be so many questions directed at them. However, they did not expect that the reporters would arrive even earlier than they had. By the time they arrived at the front of the hotel, it was already completely packed.

As soon as they got out of the car, the reporters aimed their cameras and long lenses at the father-and-son pair. The questions they asked were harsh and pressing.

They were either asking about the inside information related to Han Wanling, who was behind an attempted murder, or pressuring the duo about the current situation of the Han family. No matter which subject they asked about, it felt as if they were stabbing daggers into Han Hongbin and Han Yaotian’s hearts.

The Jiang family sent Master Jiang and Jiang Qilin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, as their representatives. Once Jiang Qilin appeared, he immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

After all, ever since Jiang Qilin’s legs had become paralyzed, he rarely appeared in the media and kept a low profile.

The outside world was saying that the successor of the Jiang family was about to change hands. Now that Jiang Qilin had appeared at such an important meeting, even if his legs were paralyzed, he still attracted a lot of attention. The bodyguards on both sides struggled to maintain order.

Chen Yichen brought his secretary with him to attend the event. He greeted the reporters warmly and reminded everyone to be careful not to step on each other..

The Eldest Heir’s aristocratic demeanor had always been the focus of the media’s attention. This reminder simply made all the reporters present clamor to take good shots of him.

The last of the VIPs to arrive were Su Donglin and Su Ximan. The siblings were especially eye-catching on the red carpet.

Su Ximan, who had black wavy hair, wore a long red trench coat, high-heeled shoes, and pants of the same color. She stood on the red carpet with a strong presence and did not show any signs of fear, attracting many reporters to hit their shutter buttons.

If Han Wanling had been the most outstanding eldest daughter of one of the big four wealthiest families, then Su Ximan was the next in line as she was equally eye-catching. Now that Han Wanling was imprisoned, Su Ximan was able to lead the show.

After the representatives of the big four wealthiest families arrived, the leaders of the three noble families also arrived.

Compared to the other families, the leaders of the three noble families had only brought their secretaries. Other than Mu Feichi, who had brought his executive director, the rest had brought their secretaries.

Mu Feichi was the last to arrive. As soon as he got out of the car, the media rushed forward to take photos and tried their best to ask him a few questions.

The bodyguards and security guards, who had gotten out of the car before him, surrounded the reporters on both sides, allowing Mu Feichi to arrive safely on the red carpet.

Many female reporters in the crowd saw Mu Feichi and screamed, “Young Commander! Young Commander…”

Mu Feichi stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the flashing lights behind him. He smiled and said, “There’s only Mu Feichi here today, not the Young Commander.”

He was the only person with a double identity among the three noble families. But today, he was merely Mu Feichi, the person in charge of the Mu Corporation, and not Mu Feichi, the Young Commander.

“Chairman Mu, will there be any special surprises today?”

“Chairman Mu, will this election of the big four wealthiest families cause a huge blow to Jingdu’s economy?”

“…”
