Xiao Jun's death was officially announced as a suicide due to depression, unable to bear the pain, he jumped from the thirtieth floor.

However, the sharp-eyed people in Liancheng City knew there was more to it than met the eye.

The mystery surrounding the new chairman only fueled various speculations among the people of Liancheng.

Different versions of the story circulated in the streets, and no one knew the truth.

At Ye Feng's table, his classmates, eager to show off their knowledge, began discussing the Yunfeng Group incident.

This topic also piqued the interest of many female classmates, including Su Weiwei, who eagerly awaited more details.

"Xiao Jun's death is not as simple as it seems!"

A male classmate sitting across from Ye Feng said with a smile he thought was quite gentlemanly.

Although these classmates had achieved a lot, they were still insignificant compared to the upper echelons of Liancheng.

The information they had access to was limited, and news from the upper levels often became their table talk.

Generally, the closer one is to the upper echelons, the more comprehensive the information.

Therefore, such matters often became a way for some people to flaunt their knowledge and show off their status.

The speaker was named Su Yun.

Among the classmates, he was considered quite outstanding, as gathered from their conversation.

Over the years, Su Yun had relied on family support to start a building materials business and was thriving in Liancheng.

He had already established a building materials company with assets worth tens of millions, earning the envy of many classmates.

Having developed in Liancheng for years and due to business reasons, he had contact with people from the upper echelons of Liancheng.

Thus, he had more information at his disposal.

"Su Yun, tell us more!"

Some female classmates eagerly urged Su Yun to continue.

Su Yun smiled slightly, satisfied with the attention, his vanity greatly fulfilled.

After a pause, he continued, "It's said that Yunfeng Group has been undergoing board reforms in recent years, involving some power struggles."

"Most likely, Xiao Jun lost and was forced to jump to his death."

"Many reports suggest that on the day Xiao Jun jumped, many mysterious people appeared, infiltrating Yunfeng Tower and taking control of the entire Yunfeng Group."

"To this day, Yunfeng Group has kept a tight lid on what happened that day, with very limited information available, leaving everything to speculation."

Su Yun's lengthy explanation gave everyone at the table plenty of gossip to indulge in, especially such juicy tidbits about top figures.

Ye Feng, who had been having a pleasant conversation with Tu Liguo, couldn't help but listen intently to Su Yun's words.

He hadn't expected his own affairs to become the main topic of conversation among others.

Despite having taken many precautions, it was nearly impossible to keep everything completely under wraps.

In this era of conspiracy theories, even simple matters could be complicated.

They became the kind of gossip people relished discussing over meals.

Just as Ye Feng wanted to hear more, the door to the private room opened.

A man dressed in luxurious clothing walked in!

Ye Feng looked up and saw it was He Chunqing.

"You should ask Chunqing; he's a manager at Yunfeng Group and should know more about their internal affairs."

Su Yun quickly said upon seeing He Chunqing.

He didn't dare to show off in front of He Chunqing.

He Chunqing was a bona fide mall manager at Yunfeng Group, on the same level as the former Zheng Guozhong.

However, he managed a mall in another city under Yunfeng Group, not Liancheng Mall.

He had quite impressive connections within Yunfeng Group, with a promising future.

Although Su Yun had gradually built a foundation in Liancheng and achieved significant success,

he couldn't compare to He Chunqing.

At this moment, everyone greeted He Chunqing warmly, saying, "Manager He, why are you so late?"

"Come, come, let's all toast to Chunqing."

As soon as He Chunqing sat down, Fu Hai led the group in toasting him, and everyone raised their glasses to toast He Chunqing.

It was a stark contrast to the cold reception Ye Feng received when he first arrived.

No matter how glorious Ye Feng's past was, it was all in the past.

In the future, it would be hard for him to make a comeback, given his criminal record; finding a job would be fortunate enough.

He Chunqing, on the other hand, was different. He was now a mall manager at Yunfeng Group, holding significant resources.

No matter what industry one was in, they might need to interact with him in the future, and he could be of great help, making He Chunqing's role even more significant.

People are so realistically cruel; without value, not even a dog would spare you a glance, let alone a person.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, He Chunqing quickly raised his glass and said, "Just a gesture, everyone. I just finished drinking at a group gathering, had quite a bit with our president, and can't handle much more!"

Although He Chunqing's tone was humble, it was more of a boast.

He also achieved quite an effect, as some people showed a hint of surprise.

The president of Yunfeng Group wasn't someone just anyone could meet.

That He Chunqing could drink and chat with the president showed his significant standing within Yunfeng Group.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be transferred back to Liancheng next year to become the general manager of Liancheng Mall."

The elated He Chunqing dropped another bombshell.

Liancheng Mall, worth nearly a billion, was one of Yunfeng Group's most valuable assets.

The mall's space was incredibly valuable, far surpassing other malls.

The profits were immense.

When Ye Feng went to see Zheng Guozhong, he saw many people going to the mall, willing to give gifts to management just to secure a shop.

It was evident.

In a way, if He Chunqing became the general manager of Liancheng Mall, although his position hadn't changed,

it was a promotion in disguise, at the very least showing he was highly valued by the company, with a truly promising future.

Especially since Liancheng Mall was right there, accessible to everyone, it meant even more.

If one could establish a good relationship with He Chunqing, they could easily get some business in the future, which would be very profitable.

Everyone wanted to get on good terms with He Chunqing, raising their glasses and saying, "Let's celebrate Manager He's continuous success and congratulate him!"

At this moment, everyone stood up, clinking glasses with He Chunqing.

Seeing this scene, He Chunqing beamed, quickly responding to everyone's congratulations.

The room was bustling with people, creating a lively atmosphere.

Tu Liguo, with his bad leg and being a teacher, was too lazy to get up.

Ye Feng simply stayed seated with Tu Liguo; He Chunqing hadn't noticed Ye Feng in the corner since he entered.
