After the divorce, I became a god that my ex-wife couldn’t reach.

While Zhou Hexu and others were chatting, the convoy of Zhao Gaoming and Pi Yangyang arrived.

The three of them hurried over, and when they saw Zhao Gaoming and Pi Yangyang getting off the car, they quickly greeted them respectfully.

Zhao Gaoming asked in surprise: "Boss Zhou, since you are here, why don't you go in?"

Zhou Hexu said, "You are the host of this discussion. Since you haven't arrived yet, of course we have to wait here."

Zhao Gaoming smiled calmly, "Okay, let's go in together."

Then, he turned to Zhao Hu and said, "Please arrange for Master Chu and the others to go to a teahouse and entertain them first. I will notify you when they are needed to appear."

Zhao Hu agreed respectfully and waited outside for Chu Ge and others to arrive.

The discussion meeting was crowded with more than a thousand people sitting there.

Almost all the big and small families in the capital sent representatives.

In addition to these families, some companies also sent representatives.

The business of these companies is almost tied to the family, so they paid special attention to this seminar.

Among those sitting there, some were happy and some were sad.

Those who were happy were because they had no connection with the Qi family before, and they even had no intersection with families like Cao and Li that were allied with the Qi family.

The Qi family was defeated this time, and the business circle in Beijing was reshuffled. They felt that their chance had come.

The ones that are worried are naturally the companies that were deeply tied to the Qi, Cao, and Li families.

As these families fell, their operations also fell into trouble.

Now, they have no choice but to change their flags and open up the market again.

However, during the business war, they almost always chose to support the Qi family. Even if they did not take sides, they also expressed their support verbally.

Therefore, they were very sure that they had been blacklisted by the Zhao family.

Although there were many people in the venue, they were naturally divided into two parts, each sitting on one side, with a Chu River and Han River separating them in the middle.

Just as everyone was discussing this, someone suddenly shouted in surprise, "Why are the Cao family here too?"

The people sitting in the back turned their heads and saw Cao Chengwang, Li Taiding and others striding in.

The scene suddenly became quiet, and all eyes fell on Cao, Li and others, as if they should not be here at all.

After Cao Chengwang came in, he looked around.

The seats in the venue were almost full, with only the last two rows still somewhat empty.

He didn't think much about it and just walked over.

However, there were also a few people sitting in the back row, looking at them curiously.

A person who came in with Cao Chengwang immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Didn't you see that Mr. Cao is here? Why don't you get out of the way?"

Those people were stunned and looked at this man in astonishment.

One person said disdainfully: "What's wrong with Mr. Cao coming? This seat is not reserved for him. We arrived first, can't we sit here?"

"Who do you think you are? Even if you got here first and Mr. Cao arrived, you should have gotten out of the way immediately!"

This man is very arrogant and looks like he will attack you if you don't move out of the way.

"What a joke! You think you are still the head of the five major families? Do you know what this discussion meeting is about? It is to re-evaluate the five major families in the capital. Do you think your Cao family still has hope of keeping your position?"

The person sitting on the chair was also quite stubborn and was not willing to move away. Instead, he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Cao Chengwang's face turned a little ugly, and his lips trembled a few times.

If it were in the past, anyone who dared to speak to him like this would have been slapped in the face.

But things are different now. Cao Chengwang has become a fallen chicken in distress. How dare he cause trouble in the Zhao family's villa?

The person who spoke up was very angry and immediately stepped forward to pull the person who talked back away.

But as soon as he walked up, Cao Chengwang shouted, "Boss Lu, forget it, just find a place to sit down."

Then he turned around and sat in the corner of the last row.

The man who came forward had to give up, stared at the person sitting on the chair and said: "Don't think that the Cao family has really fallen! When the Cao family makes a comeback, you will cry!"

The man curled his lips in disdain and said, "We'll talk about it when that day comes."

"It's really outrageous that even a small person like this dares to bully Mr. Cao."

After sitting down, Li Taiding said indignantly.

Cao Chengwang shook his head and said, "Be patient for a while and the situation will be peaceful. There is no need to bother with such a villain."

"But, Brother Cao, what method do you have? Can you reveal it a little?"

Li Taiding was feeling depressed, wondering how Cao Chengwang could turn the situation around.

Unexpectedly, Cao Chengwang smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "What else can we do? Let's try it out. Whether it will work or not, I can't say for sure."

Li Taiding's heart was beating fast, and he said nervously, "If it doesn't work, then we... are really finished..."

Cao Chengwang's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you are willing to humble yourself, this may not be impossible."

Li Taiding had a lot of questions, but since Cao Chengwang didn't say anything, he had no way of asking further.

"Okay, we have already humbled ourselves enough. In every business meeting in the past, we always sat in the front row. Now we are forced to this corner."

Li Taiding sighed and felt very depressed.

The first three rows are equipped with tables, and there are people who serve tea.

The seats in the back do not have such specifications and treatment.

"By the way, Brother Cao, who do you think that big shot will be?"

Li Taiding felt uneasy and couldn't help asking again.

Cao Chengwang narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "I hope it's not him."

Li Taiding was startled and asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about... Pi Yangyang?"

Cao Chengwang nodded. "In the final analysis, this business war was actually instigated by him. I always feel that he has been setting a trap for the Qi family from the beginning. If the big man behind this is really him, this matter will be a bit difficult to handle."

Li Taiding was stunned for more than ten seconds before shaking his head and saying, "Impossible! How could he have such great power at such a young age? The Chen family was also involved in this business war. This is unbelievable!"

"He is young, but I always feel that his background is not simple. Perhaps... he is the young master of a hidden family, and this time he is ready to make it public."

Cao Chengwang guessed in his heart.

"A hidden wealthy family? Is there really such a family?"

Li Taiding said in surprise.

Cao Chengwang shook his head again, "I don't know either. I just heard Qi Xiaolin mention it once, saying that in China, in addition to these big families in the open, there are also some hidden wealthy families. They act low-key and have dispersed assets. Moreover, there must be meritorious officials in their families, and they are also a barrier for the country at critical times.

"They usually keep a low profile, but if the family encounters a problem, they will immediately come together and pool their resources to solve the problem..."

Li Taiding was stunned.

Because it was the first time he heard of such a wealthy family in the world.

Just then, someone shouted, "Mr. Zhao is here!"

Following the shout, the whole audience stood up and applauded.

Zhao Gaoming, accompanied by Zhao Fan and Zhao Pu, walked briskly into the venue and came onto the stage.

Immediately afterwards, Miao Zeyu, Zhou Hexu and Han Handong also came in and sat down in the middle of the front row.

Zhao Gaoming walked onto the stage, glanced at the audience, and then raised his hand to suppress the protest.

The applause stopped and the whole audience fell silent.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

Zhao Gaoming said.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Gaoming spoke up, "I'm sure you all know that this year's conference was brought forward because a major event happened in the Beijing business district during this period..."

According to convention, the annual business district meeting is scheduled to be held at the end of the year. This year it was held earlier because the business war between the Zhao and Qi families had thrown the Beijing business district into chaos, so re-coordination was necessary.

Although everyone knew the cause of the incident, Zhao Gaoming still took the trouble to explain it in detail.

“Therefore, the first purpose of this discussion meeting is to re-determine the ranking of the five major families in the capital, as well as the first-tier families, so as to facilitate the development of the Chamber of Commerce’s work and the allocation of resources in the future.”

Finally, Zhao Gaoming made a summary and talked about the first agenda of this meeting, which was also the issue that everyone was most concerned about.

"However, before we discuss this, I would like to introduce someone to you all."
