Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1340

The citizens had long known that the grand opening ceremony of Arkadia Plaza, the largest plaza in Asia, would be held today!

Atlas had conducted substantial publicity, and the event was very impactful. There were no discounts on Arkadia’s products, but everyone had a chance to join the lottery to win jewelry from Sautoir Fine Jewelry. When you entered the square, you would use your identity card to receive a number from the lottery machine automatically. This was the most direct way to calculate Gerby's customer flow data.

Today's event had also attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the province, and this was unprecedented in Gerby.

I really only understood what unprecedented meant once I arrived at the scene.

There were just so many people in the stage area. Still, the crowd was handled systematically to prevent any mishaps. The city had sent many police units to keep the area under control.

We entered the building through a special passage, where many official representatives were already waiting.

I knew Atlas's true purpose was not in Arkadia Plaza, but in the mineral resources hidden in the mountains within Gerby.

In the temporary lounge, I saw Poppy, who had arrived yesterday.

Poppy had already put on makeup and was waiting in her best outfit, like a proud peacock. It seemed that she had a place at today's event. Several other glamorous stars were also waiting with her.

When Poppy saw us come in, her face lit up with a charming smile, and she approached me pleasantly. "Mr. Atlas, Ms. Chloe! You're here!"

She greeted me first, but her eyes were fixed on Atlas, who exuded an aura of regal aloofness.

"You're here early." I replied with a perfunctory greeting.

I glanced at the sheet. Besides provincial and municipal officials, the ribbon-cutting guests included a rising star of the Gerby tax industry, Finn from Jaxford Doors, and Beatrice from Keller’s Dairy, who had made outstanding contributions to Gerby.

I silently approved. Well done!

I hadn't expected this, but I was satisfied. Atlas was thoughtful and eager to show off. This move secured a place for those two families in Gerby and enhanced their status by leveraging ATL Empire’s background.

The Gerby business community would change forever after today when they saw them in an important position at such a significant occasion.

A staff member rushed past me at that very moment. Because he was rushing, he ran into Poppy, who was standing next to me. She gave a startled yell and staggered toward me on wobbly feet.
