As one would expect, such an outcome was within Lin Yi's anticipation.
The distribution of over three hundred invitations precisely matched the list he had prepared.
As for everything prior, it was merely a strategy of his.
After all, having grown up in the 21st century, he was quite adept at simple business hype techniques.
Should Lin Yi have sent invitations to everyone, many likely would not have attended.
Sending out a thousand invitations and having a hundred show up would already be an overachievement.
But now, the situation was different.
After such maneuvering, the invitation had become a public face for some dignitaries.
It had become a symbol of status and identity.
Of course, for those officials whose status was already high, though they did not need the invitation to gain face,
if their subordinates had it, they could not afford to be without it.
