Watching everyone in the hall rush towards Wu Li, Zhang Daolong scoffed.
Qian Kun glanced at him and said, "Wu Li’s fa is indeed great now, so don’t underestimate him."
Zhang Daolong shook his head disdainfully and remained silent.
In his opinion, if he wished, he could have the sa or even greater fa; he simply disdained to seek it.
At the entrance, Wu Li hadn’t expected such enthusiasm from the crowd as he greeted each Boxer in turn.
After greeting the Boxers, led by Liu Jiande, the president of the East Cape Chinese rchants Association, a dozen leaders of the Chinese community approached.
"President Wu, this is President Ma from the Western Chinese rchants Association."
"This is President Li from the Beidao Association."
...
Liu Jiande, beaming, introduced Wu Li to these community leaders one by one. Originally, his East Cape rchants Association wasn’t among the top in Southern F’s Chinese community. However, having dealt with the Mandela family and helping the East Cape rchants Association control them afterward elevated Liu Jiande’s status significantly.
Earlier, during casual conversation, several higher-ups, whom he usually couldn’t even speak to, approached him warmly, hence Liu Jiande’s cheerful deanor now.
"President Wu, truly a young and formidable leader!"
"We hope President Wu will look after us in the future."
"President Wu, you must visit us when you have ti."
...
The presidents said one after another. Although they were all leading figures in Southern F, at that mont, they were very humble towards Wu Li, a man not yet thirty.
"Haha, you are too kind," said Wu Li.
After exchanging a few courteous words, Wu Li gestured for everyone to follow him into a tiered conference room.
At the front of the conference room was a rectangular stage with a large projection screen above.
Wu Li motioned for everyone to sit down before he took his seat at the center of the front row.
Xing Jun’s seat was to Wu Li’s left, while on the right were Zhang Daolong and Qian Kun, among others.
In Hua Country’s tradition, seating arrangent is taken seriously: the highest rank sits in the principal seat, with the second highest on the left and the third highest on the right.
It was indisputable that Wu Li, being in the principal seat, was the highest ranking. Everyone already knew Xing Jun, sent from Hua Country as an instructor, who was reputedly very strong and rumored to have alongside Wu Li eliminated Celeon, hence nobody found it odd for Xing Jun to sit on Wu Li’s left. Conversely, stares of curiosity were directed towards the newly appeared Zhang Daolong, as many wondered what rited his position on Wu Li’s right.
In each corner of the conference room were caras from the "Seeking Martial Arts" program team.
Previously, details on how Hua Jian Security dealt with the Mandela family could not be broadcast; only a brief recording was made to give the audience a rough idea, but today’s event was undoubtedly ant to be live-stread.
Soon, the lights in the conference room dimd and the big screen lit up.
"As the number of overseas Chinese continues to grow, security has increasingly beco a major concern..."
Background music and narration began, outlining the current state of overseas Chinese and the safety challenges faced by many industries: supermarket robberies, jewelry store heists, high-value cargo thefts, etc.
It then highlighted the current state of the security industry, ntioning the lack of specialized personnel, security staff shortages, and the high costs of many security firms.
"Hua Jian Security was established in response to these circumstances. We are committed to addressing the safety concerns of overseas Chinese, providing high-quality and professional security services to Chinese communities, business associations, and individuals in need..."
The screen finally introduced the founding purposes of Hua Jian Security, displaying footage of their mbers training at a dostic base and well-edited clips that appeared highly professional and well-trained.
"That looks impressive."
"There isn’t a professional security company like this dostically yet."
"That’s true, the top ones are all abroad."
"Now Wu Li has filled that gap."
"Exactly, Hua Jian will definitely beco a world-class security company!"
"Wu Li really is a big shot now, commanding hundreds of gunn."
"Hahaha, that’s a true big shot for sure!"
"Looking at it this way, starting a security company really is incredible."
"Wasn’t there a news story before, about a young guy from our country who went to Africa after graduation, started his own security company and within a few years had hundreds of n, going out with AKs for fights, so thrilling!"
"Wu Li has been a big shot for a long ti, okay? Bo Yuan Martial Arts Hall already has over 200 branches worldwide, and Yanhuang Technique is nearly spreading beyond Asia. It’s just that now Wu Li is also laying out in the security industry, without a doubt, he’s going to be a new big shot in the security field!"
...
Inside the live chat, the viewers started joking around.
"Next, please welco the founder and current chairman of Hua Jian Security, Mr. Wu Li, to give a speech!"
As the video on the big screen concluded, an invitation for Wu Li to speak echoed.
Amidst roaring applause, Wu Li calmly walked onto the stage, stood behind the left podium, and began his address through the microphone:
"First of all, thank you everyone for attending the opening ceremony of Hua Jian Security’s Southern F branch..."
"Hua Jian Security boasts top Martial Arts masters, the most professional training teams, and the most advanced equipnt..."
Following the prepared script, Wu Li spoke briefly on stage, thanking everyone and then discussing the advantages of Hua Jian Security.
"To better serve everyone and deepen Hua Jian Security’s cooperation with various Chinese communities in Southern F, Hua Jian Security has decided to establish a branch here."
"Now, I declare, Hua Jian Security’s Southern F branch is officially established!"
As Wu Li’s voice fell, the room erupted into enthusiastic applause.
Wu Li looked at the people below the stage, feeling this unprecedented sensation.
From their eyes, he perceived admiration, respect, and even so awe.
Wu Li knew that these people respected not only his own formidable personal strength but also the power behind him.
Just as viewers in the live chat said, Wu Li now commanded hundreds of gunn and could mobilize the resources of almost all Chinese communities in Southern F. With such power, along with his inhuman personal combat abilities, it demanded respect from others.
Moreover, Hua Jian Security was just starting, and it had essentially unified Southern F’s Chinese communities; who knew how far Hua Jian would go?
Such a future was of great importance to the community leaders present; hence they personally attended this opening ceremony. They wanted to forge good relations early with Wu Li, who had beco a major figure whose actions could influence the entire region.
