Chapter 421 Why Are You Here?
"I asked Xiaofei, is there any falsehood in that?"
"Tch, isn't it just being able to fight a bit?" Bai Erye's pupils contracted slightly, but he still retorted stubbornly.
Bai Ye smiled, "It is said that it only took him more than ten seconds."
Bai Erye fell silent. Fifteen seconds was a bit terrifying.
Bai Ye continued, "In the Bailong Chamber of Commerce, perhaps only that person can achieve this."
"You mean Bai Wushen?" Bai Erye's gaze instantly sharpened.
"That's right."
"No... no... it can't be? That's our Bailong Chamber of Commerce's top fighter?"
Bai Ye said confidently, "Perhaps not now, but Mr. Chen is so young, his future is boundless, and he might even surpass Bai Wushen. Such a person, tell me, is he worth befriending?"
Bai Erye nodded subconsciously, "Of course he is worth it. Bai Wushen alone has gained so much status and shown so much face for that guy. If you,大哥, had a Bai Wushen by your side, why would you be stepped on by him?"
Bai Ye nodded in agreement, clenched his fists, but a hint of hope flickered in his eyes.
Could Chen Xuan be his Bai Wushen?
A moment later, he said to Bai Erye, "Alright, when we reach the front, you get out and take another car back. I still have to attend the banquet hosted by Director Yu of Hongqi Bank."
The car stopped, and Bai Erye got out. He stared at the receding taillights, lost in thought.
But could that kid really become someone like Bai Wushen?
His elder brother had always been a good judge of character, but Bai Erye felt that this time, his elder brother might have misjudged.
...
Back at the villa, Chen Xuan changed his clothes in the bedroom and then hurried downstairs.
"Yunxi, I have something to do, I won't be eating at home!"
Seeing that Su Yunxi didn't respond, Chen Xuan called out a couple more times. He didn't see Su Yunxi, but his future mother-in-law, Jiang Biyun, walked out of the room.
"Stop howling. Yunxi has a social engagement today and won't be back tonight."
Jiang Biyun's impression of Chen Xuan had improved somewhat, but she still couldn't bring herself to show a kind face and remained sarcastic. "Yunxi is busy with her career. You're in the provincial capital without a job, just running around aimlessly."
"Yunxi went out? Okay."
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. He didn't think much of it and strode out.
Jiang Biyun watched Chen Xuan's retreating figure, a thought crossing her mind, "It seems I need to find you a job, so you don't loaf around."
More than half an hour later, Chen Xuan drove to the magnificent Jiutian Grand Hotel and was stunned by the scene.
Exquisite and expensive red carpets were laid out from inside the hotel to the outside. Maybachs and Ferraris were everywhere, with people coming and going.
Compared to the Jiutian Grand Hotel, Jiangzhou's most prosperous hotel paled in comparison, both in terms of surrounding environment and decoration.
The guests here were all dressed elegantly, with women adorned in jewels and men in suits. Everyone seemed to be of considerable status.
Although Chen Xuan was wearing clean and neat clothes, compared to these people, he looked like a country bumpkin.
However, Chen Xuan didn't feel inferior at all. He took his invitation and strode into the venue.
Inside, the spacious venue was already filled with many people, most of whom seemed to be influential figures from the provincial capital.
Having exerted himself in a fight earlier, Chen Xuan felt a bit hungry and headed straight for the food area.
"Wow, isn't that Mr. Wang from Yanzhao Group?"
"The King of Glass, Zhao Qiankun!"
"And the catering giant, Niu Deshun!"
Zhen Xiaoqiong scanned the crowd, her eyes sparkling as she spotted many famous figures.
Around Zhen Xiaoqiong stood several men and women, all dressed in extraordinary attire, appearing to be socialites and young masters.
A man in a suit, in his twenties, standing beside her, glanced at Zhen Xiaoqiong and said casually, "Miss Zhen, I have had some interactions with these people. If you'd like to meet them, I can introduce you."
"Really, Young Master Qian? Thank you so much."
Zhen Xiaoqiong's eyes lit up. "Our Zhen family wanted to cooperate with you, and I didn't expect you to help me so much."
The Zhen family ran a medicinal materials business, primarily responsible for the secondary processing of medicinal materials collected from medicinal gardens before reselling them to the Su family's pharmaceutical companies in the provincial capital.
Recently, the Su family had encountered problems, causing the Zhen family to lose a large sum of money. To find a way out, the Zhen family began to develop other clients.
This Young Master Qian was one of the clients the Zhen family had found, the young master of Qianling Pharmaceutical.
Zhen Xiaoqiong accompanied Young Master Qian to this banquet, hoping to promote cooperation between the two parties.
This Young Master Qian was a notorious rake who had been with no less than eight hundred women. He saw through Zhen Xiaoqiong's intentions, which was why he offered to help.
"It's because Miss Zhen is so beautiful," Young Master Qian whispered into Zhen Xiaoqiong's ear, chuckling softly.
The hot breath from his nose sprayed onto Zhen Xiaoqiong's face, making her cheeks flush, and she felt a flutter in her heart.
She responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's whine, "Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Qian."
"Hilton Hotel, Room 608," Young Master Qian whispered.
"I..."
Zhen Xiaoqiong struggled internally, but still didn't agree. "I'm going to get some food."
With that, Zhen Xiaoqiong turned and walked away.
Young Master Qian showed a hint of disappointment, but remained confident.
"I didn't expect there to be a woman even Young Master Qian can't handle!" A tall and handsome man carrying a wine glass walked over and nudged Young Master Qian with his elbow.
Young Master Qian stared at Zhen Xiaoqiong's graceful silhouette and said confidently, "I'll get her into bed sooner or later."
"As for you, Young Master Yan, you don't even have a female companion. Don't tell me you still like the Su family's eldest daughter? She's already engaged." Young Master Qian teased.
The young man called Young Master Yan clenched his fists upon hearing this.
Among the young masters of the provincial capital, eight out of ten liked Su Yunxi. The remaining two, one harbored a secret crush, and the other was gay.
Coincidentally, this Young Master Yan was the one with the secret crush. He had met Su Yunxi once at a large banquet and fallen for her.
When the news of Su Yunxi's engagement to Chen Xuan spread to the provincial capital, this Young Master Yan directly jumped into the river from the provincial bridge, becoming infamous overnight!
"Young Master Yan, don't be discouraged. I heard that the fiancé is just a second-hand security guard. The Su family was very strong before, but now their situation isn't great. Your Yan family is considered a suitable match." Young Master Qian chuckled.
Young Master Yan's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Young Master Yan, why would I lie to you? If it weren't for your fondness for the Su family's eldest daughter, I would also try my luck. Besides, how would I dare to fight with Young Master Yan for a woman?" Young Master Qian said with a smile.
The Qian family was not as powerful as the Yan family, and many businesses depended on the Yan family's support. Therefore, Young Master Qian naturally treated Young Master Yan with deference.
"Ah!"
Just then, Zhen Xiaoqiong, lost in thought, accidentally bumped into someone, knocking over the tray of food they were holding.
"S... sorry..."
Despite her assertiveness in the Su family, Zhen Xiaoqiong was quite reserved when she was outside.
She knew that anyone invited here was a distinguished figure.
"Xiaoqiong, I didn't expect you to be so polite."
A familiar voice suddenly rang out.
Zhen Xiaoqiong found the voice familiar and was startled. When she looked up and saw Chen Xuan standing in front of her, her eyes widened. "Chen Xuan...?"
She had apologized to this cheap security guard, and her face turned even uglier than if she had eaten a fly.
"Why are you here?" Zhen Xiaoqiong asked in shock.
