“Now, please welcome the president of Yinghao Media, Xia Yu, to the stage.”
A burst of enthusiastic applause filled the venue as everyone eagerly looked around, eager to catch a glimpse of this mysterious president.
Xia Yu slowly rose, brushed off some melon juice stains from his clothes, and walked toward the stage.
“Hey, where do you think you’re going?”
“Do you really think the Mr. Xiao mentioned Xia Yu is you?”
“I’m just telling you, as a lowly driver, know your place and stop embarrassing yourself!”
Seeing him stand up, Siyan shouted in frustration.
Wang Dong and Wu Tian glared at him angrily. Was this useless dog going to the restroom?
Lily secretly watched him with excitement, her face full of anticipation.
“Yu Ge, where are you going?”
Even Zhao Sijie couldn’t quite believe he was the Xia Yu that Xiao Jun had spoken of.
“He invited me on stage. Wait for me a moment, I’ll be right back,” Xia Yu smiled at him.
When he truly walked onto the stage, Xiao Jun personally greeted him and politely extended his hand, a shock like a thunderbolt striking everyone, leaving them trembling.
The wine glass in Siyan’s hand dropped to the floor.
“R-Really... it’s him.”
“The Xia Yu Xiao Jun mentioned is really him!!”
Everyone, including Zhao Sijie, was dumbfounded.
Only Lily’s eyes shone brightly, knowing she hadn’t guessed wrong. His background was indeed formidable. She still remembered that night at the resort hotel when the general manager bowed and attended to him attentively.
“Master Yu.”
Such an honorific was reserved only for true scions like Xiao Jun and Liang Zichao.
Liang Zichao and Lin Yuxin, among others, were equally stunned.
“How could it really be Xia Yu?”
“No, this can’t be...” Lin Yuxin shook her head frantically, unable to believe it.
Liang Zichao’s face darkened deeply, his hands trembling slightly.
Chen Fei’s mouth remained agape in disbelief. She couldn’t accept that the Xia Yu on stage was the same one she had just ordered the security guards to kick out!!
Only when Xia Yu stood before the microphone did she gradually come to her senses, grabbing Li Hao beside her: “You... you’re friends with him, right?”

“Wasn’t he supposed to be just a driver? How did he become the president of Yinghao Media?”
“I don’t know either...” Li Shen looked dazed. He had always thought Xia Yu was unemployed. He never imagined he had quietly made such a big move to become president of Yinghao Media.
What kind of concept was this? While other companies might be uncertain, everyone knew Yinghao Group was the Xiao family’s enterprise.
With that alone, Xia Yu instantly ascended to the top tier of the business world, becoming one of the so-called upper-class elites.
“Heh, finally can’t sit still, huh?”
Miya in the crowd smiled subtly, casually sending a text on her phone to someone.
On stage, Xia Yu was even more composed and confident than Xiao Jun. A faint smile played on his lips as he took the microphone and said:
“Hello everyone, I am Xia Yu!!”
All eyes fixed on him, expecting more, but before he could say another word, he put down the microphone and stepped back.
Everyone recovered from their shock, applauding again, buzzing with speculation.
“This president is so young and handsome.”
“Yeah, I wonder what kind of background he has to earn such importance from Mr. Xiao.”
“Jealous! I wonder if he has a girlfriend. I’ll try to flirt with him later.”
Many women gazed at Xia Yu with envy, their eyes sparkling green—such was the allure of status.
For those with wealth, charm naturally radiated to others.
Some had already recognized Xia Yu and were stunned.
“Isn’t he that useless son-in-law from the Lin family?”
“Right, I remember him. At Liang Shao and Miss Lin’s wedding, he caused quite a scene.”
“Tsk tsk, this is interesting. Mr. Xiao invites Mrs. Liang’s ex-husband as president, what does that mean?”
Many sensed a different tone and were eagerly awaiting what would come next.
“So, how does it feel to be surrounded by the spotlight again? Feels a bit unfamiliar, huh?”
Xiao Jun watched him playfully from the side. Back in the Northern Territory, Zero was a name known to all—wherever he went, he was revered and respected.
Countless powerful factions sought to marry their daughters to him.
Numerous forces tried every means to flatter and win him over.
He was the King of the North, a warlord with supreme divine authority, and that year, he was only twenty-one!
“What do you think?”
Xia Yu glanced at him and stepped down from the stage.
Xiao Jun smiled quietly and hurried to follow. For him, this was probably just a trivial affair.
“Mr. Xiao.”

“President Xia.”
“A pleasure to meet you.”
As they stepped down, countless people surged forward to toast them.
“I appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, but please keep some distance. I can barely move now,” Xia Yu politely said to those offering drinks.
At this moment, he exuded the aura of a king, effortlessly handling these so-called elites, his presence subtly overshadowing everyone else.
Xiao Jun stayed by his side, helping him navigate the scene.
“Zitong, didn’t he just say he would help us?”
Father and daughter Chu Bin and Chu Zitong had witnessed everything firsthand. Seeing Xia Yu surrounded by admirers, they gradually recovered.
“Mm-hmm, Dad, our company is saved.”
Chu Zitong’s delighted smile was captivating.
“Haha, let’s hope he remembers what he just said.”
Chu Bin also laughed, secretly acknowledging his own earlier misjudgment. He had thought Xia Yu was arrogantly blind, but now it seemed he was completely mistaken.
This young man was no ordinary figure. At least from Xiao Jun’s attitude, he was highly valued.
With the Xiao family connection, he certainly had the capital to disregard Zhang Jialong.
Wherever Xia Yu and Xiao Jun went, they were toasted with compliments.
Fortunately, both had good tolerance for alcohol and barely drank—just the customary gestures.
Others didn’t mind and even finished their drinks, as everyone understood the etiquette.
Unconsciously, Xia Yu walked over to Li Shen and the others. Seeing Li Shen look at him excitedly yet shyly, he smiled and stepped forward.
“Dazed? Not going to have a drink with your brother?”
Hearing the word “brother” warmed Li Shen’s heart. He immediately replied, “You’re President Xia now—I’m afraid I’m not worthy.”
“Then I’ll toast to you,” Xia Yu teased.
“No, no, I’ll do it. Brothers drink three cups at once, you’re free to join.”
Li Shen promptly raised his glass and downed three cups.
Beside them, Xiao Jun couldn’t help but laugh: “Zero... President Xia, your friend is quite straightforward.”
“He’s only good at drinking,” Xia Yu chuckled.
“I’ll have to drink with him sometime,” Xiao Jun joked.
“Oh, President Xiao, I’d be honored if that chance comes,” Li Shen said excitedly.
