Chapter 179 The Hidden Tycoon
However, what surprised them even more at this moment was that, even someone with the status of Shen Wenjun seemed utterly inconsequential in Han Dong's eyes.
He simply hadn't remembered him, whereas Shen Wenjun was seizing this opportunity, tirelessly pitching himself and his company's products.
He spoke with great enthusiasm, completely oblivious to the displeasure on Han Dong's face at that moment.
At that moment, Han Dong felt that Shen Wenjun had wasted too much of his time, so without hesitation, he said directly, "Sorry! Sir, if there's a chance, we can talk next time, I have other matters to attend to now!"
Han Dong outright rejected Shen Wenjun and walked away.
Hearing this, Shen Wenjun could only stand there, dumbfounded.
At that moment, he was extremely embarrassed. The surrounding crowd was staring at him, and the manager Han in front of him didn't give him any face and just strode away.
And at that moment, Han Dong approached Lin Yi, who also looked surprised, frowning at Han Dong.
He had seen what Han Dong said to Shen Wenjun, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.
Nevertheless, he hadn't expected Han Dong to rush over so hastily, as if it really was for himself.
At that moment, Lin Yi genuinely had forgotten about Han Dong; he never made an effort to remember people's faces, and he met far too many people every day.
Seeing the expression on Lin Yi's face, Han Dong naturally guessed that Lin Yi had forgotten about him. Very respectfully, he said directly, "Hello, Chairman Lin Yi, I am the junior manager who met you last time at Wenqu Mall."
At this moment, Han Dong referring to himself as a junior manager also shocked Shen Wenjun.
The surrounding crowd also showed expressions of amazement, while Lin Yi just then remembered their previous meeting. That manager had handled matters quite cleverly.
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding crowd revealed their astonishment. They really hadn't expected Lin Yi to be the chairman of Wenqu Mall.
Everyone knew that Wenqu Mall was a mall specializing in the sale of luxury goods!
Everyone was speechless with shock, for Lin Yi had brought them not just one or two surprises that day.
At this time, Han Xuewei was also very shocked. Lin Yi took Han Xuewei's hand and stood in front of Han Dong, saying, "Why would you be here?"
Lin Yi frowned, his own movements were always quite careful, and unless there was some matter, he wouldn't likely go out of his way to find him.
Hearing this, Han Dong also nodded and said, "Actually, I've been looking for you since this afternoon. I didn't leave a way to contact you, and just today someone informed me that you were in this hotel, so I made a special trip here. I want to talk to you about the new product launch that is being held tomorrow. I wanted to ask whether the chairman plans to attend..."
As Han Dong spoke respectfully, Shen Wenjun's face went completely pale. He hadn't expected Lin Yi to be the owner of Wenqu Mall! Then, what was there to talk about any cooperation now?!
At this point, Lin Yi spoke up, "That man just now, what's your relationship with him?"
He had just seen Shen Wenjun and Han Dong chatting, so he made a point to ask.
Hearing this, Han Dong simply said, "Chairman, the gentleman just now has been seeking a cooperation with our mall, but I don't think it will work. Our mall only accepts high-end cooperations, and his brand is too minor, probably a generic one without any credibility. We cannot cooperate. However, if he is a friend of yours, then we could certainly give him some support."
Han Dong said respectfully, knowing that if Lin Yi wanted to cooperate, then he naturally had no right to object.
However, Lin Yi simply shook his head upon hearing this.

"A brand that can't make money, what's the use of keeping it?" Lin Yi's voice was very cold, and upon hearing this, Shen Wenjun's eyes widened, her teeth clenching with a gritting sound, yet there was nothing she could do.
And everyone present heard these words. Explore more at empire
All of them showed surprised expressions, never having expected Lin Yi to have such a status.
And to think that Shen Wenjun was nothing more than a lackey to him, it was truly shocking.
Now it seemed that Lin Yi was a hidden big shot, whereas Shen Wenjun was just a fool who tried to swagger but ended up being screwed over instead.
At this moment, seeing Han Dong's expectant look, Lin Yi could only shake his head helplessly.
"I won't be going to the new product launch. You can lead it just the same. I need to go home to take care of my child; I don't have time to go over there."
Lin Yi said brazenly, and upon hearing his words, Han Dong immediately nodded, not daring to say anything more.
Ever since their chairman took over the mall, he had hardly managed it, just letting it develop smoothly, as if he didn't care at all about such a small business.
After Han Dong was done speaking, he took his leave, and Lin Yi just smiled faintly.
At this point, the atmosphere of the entire gathering inexplicably changed.
All of them showed surprised expressions again. Lin Yi turned to look at Han Xuewei and noticed that she too was completely baffled.
Lin Yi could only awkwardly say, "Wife, I'll explain to you when we get home."
Lin Yi felt a bit guilty at this moment. This feeling of keeping his relatives in the dark and letting his family know nothing made him feel a sense of guilt.
Moreover, since Han Xuewei was his wife, his silence could make her feel that he didn't trust her.
So he decided that once they got home, he would definitely come clean to Han Xuewei. She just nodded calmly and smiled lightly, "Husband, I never imagined you'd be such a business tycoon."
Han Xuewei felt extremely proud at this moment, although she did not know where all these assets that Lin Yi had popped up from.
Yet she was sure that Lin Yi must have acquired them through legitimate means, and that was something to be proud of.
The people at the scene were all stirred up, looking at Lin Yi with disbelief.
It was truly astonishing; to be so young and yet the chairman of several companies, it was completely beyond their imagination.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu was also somewhat unable to react. She had been incredibly shocked when she spent money at Wenqu Building, because the mall had been so generous to give them ten million for their expenditures.
Now thinking back on Lin Yi being the chairman, it all made much more sense.
Hence, Qin Xiaoxu immediately grabbed Lin Jie's arm and pulled him aside, exclaiming, "Oh my gosh, your family's business is doing so well now? Lin Yi is actually the chairman of Wenqu Mall!!"
Hearing this, Lin Jie was also completely baffled at the moment. He himself didn't know and could only furrow his brows.
"I honestly didn't know this, he never mentioned it before. The only thing I knew was that my brother had a stake in the Supreme Grade supermarket since our parents were helping to run it, but as for Jinguo Hotel and Wenqu Mall, I really had no idea..."
