Chapter 481 - Unexpected End Result
Tristan was done with his presentation. The emcee announced that the esteemed guests could book a reservation in advance if they wished to visit the Heavenly Star Enterprise.
The usherettes roamed around the venue, collecting the response of the other guests. After a few minutes, the lead usherette handed the result to the emcee.
The Heavenly Star Ent higher-ups were not expecting any more. They now realized that their CEO and Chairman were no longer competing with the other companies.
Their main goal changed. It looked like the Heavenly Star just became a charity organization for giving 500 vouchers to the people in Empire City Plaza.
They also felt content after knowing that Tristan would be the one shouldering those expenses. At least Heavenly Star would lose nothing.
The directors had stopped complaining already. They didn't want to ruin Chairman Lu's mood. He looked so happy when his granddaughter-in-law was introduced to the public.
Soon, they heard the voice of the emcee, announcing the result of how many people wanted to book a reservation for visiting the Heavenly Star Enterprise.
"There are 15 people who want to visit the Heavenly Star Enterprise next month," The emcee declared.
The members of the Sy Cord laughed out loud after hearing that. They mocked the Heavenly Star because only 15 guests wanted to visit their newly established resort.
"Hahaha, too much generosity. I think they intentionally decided to distribute 500 vouchers because they already anticipated that the guests here would not be interested to check-in and visit their resort."
"Wow, only fifteen people! Hahaha, what a record! They got the lowest number of clients among all the companies who participated!"
"This is too embarrassing! Hahaha."
Unlike Sy Corp, their limited edition jewelry collections were sold out right away. That's the reason why they were boasting.
But little did they know, the emcee was not yet done with her announcement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we still have more here. I am so happy to announce that there are also fifteen people here who want to invest in the Heavenly Star Paradise!"
"They want to work with the Heavenly Star Enterprise in developing the Heavenly Star Paradise by giving more funds in the construction of the resort!"
"They are willing to become a VIP member of the Heavenly Star Paradise as well and experience the amazing accommodation the resort will give them."
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen hugged each other after hearing that announcement. They didn't expect that fifteen special guests wanted to invest in their resort. They were so happy.
Aside from them, the directors of the Heavenly Star Enterprise who were sulking in their respective seat moments ago suddenly became lively the moment they heard that unexpected result.
Even though there were only a few people who made a reservation, getting fifteen investors that night was considered a big victory for the Heavenly Star Enterprise! They were the only company that got the highest number of people who wanted to invest in their resort.
"Oh my God! Did we hear it right? We got 15 investors!" Director Go stood up excitedly from his seat asking the other directors.
"Yes, we got them!" Another director confirmed it.
Grandpa Lu and Tristan's parents were just looking at Tristan with so much pride in their eyes. They were so happy with the end result. They didn't aim for this but Tristan was able to pull it off.
"Oh EM GEE! Andrew! No one saw this coming! I know you and Tristan put a lot of effort into this. I'm so proud of you. Congratulations!" Alveena couldn't hide her happiness.
Though she was not a real employee of the Heavenly Star Enterprise, she felt so blissful knowing that they succeeded in tonight's product showcasing event.
She knew that her brother had done something to sabotage the Heavenly Star Enterprise but in the end, he still failed. Heavenly Star Enterprise was not defeated. Tristan Davis was still the one who got the real victory.
"Thank you, Alveena," Andrew responded, smiling faintly at her.
Grandpa Lu turned to Andrew and patted his grandson's shoulder.
"Grandson, you made me proud. I know Tristan and you worked hard to earn this. I'm so lucky to have intelligent and capable grandsons." Grandpa Lu also praised and acknowledged Andrew's hard work.
"Yes son, we are proud of you," Lucas also complimented his son.
"Andrew, my son, congratulations. Thank you for assisting and helping your brother," Isabelle said, feeling grateful to Andrew.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa… thank you. My brother and I are so glad to know that you are proud of us. We will make sure that no one will bring down the Heavenly Star Enterprise without putting up a fight."
"No matter how many times our competitors will try to sabotage our company, my brother and I will not let them bully us. We are Davis. We will show them our true power." Andrew said, cracking some jokes to further lighten the mood.
Grandpa Lu, Lucas, and Isabelle ended up laughing because of Andrew's last remarks. Soon, Andrew joined them as they laughed together.
Alveena couldn't help but smile. She could see that the Davis Family had a harmonious relationship. They took care of each other. They could see the love in their eyes. They were a happy family.
Unknown to Alveena, Andrew and Tristan were not acting like this before. They were like enemies, competing with each other who was better than the other. They fought and became distant from one another when they fell in love with the same woman.
But everything changed ever since Zhen-Zhen came into their life. It seemed that her presence was the reason why the Davis Family had become closer to each other once again.
The two brothers had finally reconciled with one another and now their relationship had improved a lot. It was all thanks to Zhen-Zhen.
It did not take long when Tristan and Zhen-Zhen joined them at their table. Matthew was following them behind. Zhen-Zhen immediately greeted Grandpa Lu and her parents-in-law.
"Oh Moh, Finally, my granddaughter-in-law can join us here. I waited for you. I didn't know that you were surprising this old man. But you didn't fail, my dear. I was not expecting that I would see you at the front stage," Grandpa Lu said, feeling enthusiastic.
"I'm glad to know that grandpa. Little Davis is also happy knowing that grandpa was surprised."
"Oh-Moh, Now that you mention my great-grandchild, I become more excited to see Little Davis, sigh."
Zhen-Zhen and others just laughed at Grandpa Lu's remarks. He was always eager and excited when it came to his great-grandchild. The directors had no idea what the family was talking about so they decided to stay silent.
"Tristan, good job! You nailed it tonight!" Lucas wrapped his arms around Tristan's shoulder while congratulating him.
Meanwhile, Isabelle walked towards Zhen-Zhen and hugged her. "Welcome to Davis's Business World, my daughter-in-law! Now, everyone knows that you are part of the Davis Family."
"You don't have to worry, Lillie, the Davis Family will always be here to support you. Everyone who will try to insult you again just like the director of the Sy Corp did moments ago, the Davis Family will teach them a lesson," Andrew joined the conversation.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Alveena arched her eyebrow when she recalled that moment. She already made a mental note that she would talk to her brother to give that director a punishment he deserved. She wanted him to be demoted or fired.
She also didn't like the way he insulted Zhen-Zhen moments ago. So as soon as she would go back to Sy Corp, she would make sure that person would never become a director again.
Meanwhile, while the Davis Family were happily conversing at their table, the reporters were observing them from a distance.
After seeing how Zhen-Zhen was very close to Tristan's family, they were now a hundred percent convinced that she was Tristan's lawful wife. It seemed that the family was very fond of her.
Now, they were really curious about how Tristan and Zhen-Zhen met. They wanted to know how they fell in love with each other.
They were also wondering if Zhen-Zhen was aware of the reputation of her husband. They were dying to interview her to know her thoughts and opinion about Tristan's past. However, the Davis Family brought a lot of bodyguards tonight.
It seemed that they already anticipated that reporters would try to get Tristan's and Zhen-Zhen's statements after the event. Tristan didn't want Zhen-Zhen to be surrounded by reporters. He requested the assistance of the Davis Family bodyguards to protect Zhen-Zhen.
Meanwhile, aside from the reporters, there were also several pairs of eyes watching the Davis Family right now, especially Zhen-Zhen and Tristan. There were some women who belonged to Tristan's flings before who attended that event.
They were shocked beyond belief after knowing that Tristan was already married. No wonder, they hadn't seen him for so many months now. They didn't even hear anything about Tristan having another scandal with women.
Now, they were looking at Zhen-Zhen with jealousy and bitterness in their eyes. They already hated her for stealing Tristan from them.
