The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 475 Powerful Families In The City

Tristan joined his family and colleagues at their assigned table. He sat down next to his grandfather. Grandpa Lu immediately asked Tristan about Zhen-Zhen's whereabouts.

"Where's Lillie? Why did you come alone?" asked Grandpa Lu, peering at the entrance while searching for Zhen-Zhen.

Grandpa Lu, Tristan's parents, and the other directors had no idea that Zhen-Zhen would be the one representing their company for the product showcasing event. Only Andrew was aware of this.

Tristan also changed their initial plan at the last minute without informing Grandpa Lu and the directors. Matthew and Andrew were the only ones who helped him in the preparation.

Grandpa Lu entrusted this event to Tristan so he didn't intervene at all. He wanted him to accomplish this task independently, not relying on the Chairman.

"Grandpa, be patient. You will see your beloved granddaughter-in-law later. Remember, I will announce our marriage tonight so she should be by my side once I do that."

Grandpa Lu nodded his head. He smiled after hearing that. He was excited because finally, the public will know that Zhen-Zhen was part of the Davis Family.

A few minutes later, the emcee for tonight's event had called the attention of everyone, telling them to get ready and settle down as the program was about to start.

The Mayor welcomed everyone and acknowledged every guest especially those who came from the prominent families in the City of Empire.

There were nine most powerful and influential families in the City of Empire. Most of them were businessmen, some were part of the military while others engaged in politics.

Aguirre Family and Tang Family were known for their military power and influence.

The Aragon Family and Ellison Family were focused on politics. The Mayor of the City of Empire belonged to the Aragon Family.

Sy Family, Cullens Family, Anderson Family, Chou Family were into business. The Sy Family and Cullens were very close to each other, that's why Alveena's parents were trying to set her up with Brandon Cullens.

If the two families would combine power through marriage then the Sy and the Cullens would dominate the business world in the City of Empire.

The Davis Family was the rare case here because the Davis Family was not only focusing on business. They also had great influence from the military and politics.

Though they were low profile and not flexing their power, others believed that the Davis Family was the most powerful and influential among those nine families mentioned above.

That was one of the reasons why no one wanted to offend or be on the bad side of the Davis Family. Only fools would dare to challenge them especially if that person didn't have a strong backup with the other big influential families.

In the case of Angelique Rioz, she had nothing to worry about because she had the Sy Family supporting her now.

The Mayor was done with his formal greetings with everyone as he gave the microphone back to the emcee.

Many celebrities from the entertainment industry and fashion world were also mentioned. They were the hottest celebrities right now.

They had separate tables for them. Ordinary citizens wanted to watch the live broadcast of the Gala because of their favorite celebrities who attended the event.

After an hour, the most awaited part finally had arrived. The product showcasing of the top companies in the City of Empire.

The Mayor explained the rules, flow, and the goal of this activity to everyone.

"As you all know, I invited special guests for this event. They are our visitors from the other cities and foreign countries."

"They came here, especially for this event. They can buy and order the items they want after the showcase. The earnings for this activity will be divided."

p "50% of the earnings will be donated to development programs of the City of Empire and other charity works."

"Another advantage is that our special guests can show their interest to invest in those companies they will likely choose after the showcase."

"Aside from that, our citizens who are watching this right now in the plaza will also have the chance to receive these items via raffle draw."

"We have staff administering this raffle draw event in the plaza. Everyone had the chance to win the products but only 200 lucky people will be able to get them."

"And now, let's the showcase begin!"

Loud cheers reverberated in the Big Dome after the Mayor declared the start of the product showcase.

Each company would be represented by one company model. He or she would come up the stage, showcasing the items and products.

The CEO would join the model and talk about the product, giving everyone a short background or overview of the product.

The CEO should emphasize the unique feature of their items to convince the special guests to buy or invest in their company.

Competition between the top companies would be fun to watch. Almost everyone was excited, anticipating the duel between the Sy Corp and the Heavenly Star Enterprise.

Everyone knew that there was ongoing competition happening between the Sy Corp and Heavenly Star Enterprise.

With that, the Mayor personally arranged their numbers to be the last and second to the last company that would showcase their products.

Heavenly Star Enterprise got the last number so Sy Corp would go first before Heavenly Star.

This was what Clifford wanted since their product themes were almost the same. He intentionally did it after knowing what items the Heavenly Star Enterprise would be using during the event.

Angelique Rioz was the one who informed him about this.

It did not take long when the other companies were done. It's now Sy Corp's turn to showcase their product on Stage.

Everyone gasped in admiration when Angelique Rioz started walking across the stage wearing the sparkling jewelry.

The 12 new jewelry collections of Sy Corp were also being flashed on the screen.

The directors of the Heavenly Star Enterprise couldn't believe this. They had the same product and theme as Sy Corp.

"Damn! How could this happen? We are at a disadvantage now! We might become a laughingstock here and people might accuse us of copying Sy Corp!" One director blurted out, feeling worried.

"True, they are the first ones to showcase before us. Aside from that, Angelique Rioz is representing Sy Corp. We can't outshine them!" Director Go also lamented to them.

Grandpa Lu's expression remained neutral. He was not alarmed because he believed Tristan had a solution for this. He trusted his skill and intelligence.

On the other hand, Isabelle and Lucas were the ones who were panicking and worrying about Tristan.

"Son, what are you going to do now?" Isabelle asked him, her face was painted with concern.

"Son, what are you thinking? Do you have an alternative plan for this?" Lucas also expressed his concern for his son.

Alveena couldn't help but clench her fists. She knew that this was not a pure coincidence. Her brother had intentionally done this.

'Brother… you are so cunning. How can you shamelessly copy the Heavenly Star's theme and items for this event?'

Alveena had the urge to nag at her brother right now.

Meanwhile, Andrew and Tristan just exchanged meaningful glances with one another.
