Chapter 893 The Thank You Banquet
"Uncle, you're with the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, what are you afraid of!" Cao Junda looked down on this newly risen Chen Xuan. Merchants after all were not as influential as officials!
Wang Mingrui frowned and said solemnly, "You don't know, the son-in-law of the Su family in the provincial capital is not simple. The Su family is very strong now, and they have a good relationship with the Wei family."
"The Wei family..." Cao Junda's face darkened. The Wei family had controlled the Yanhuang Iron Brigade for many years, and his uncle Wang Mingrui was also trained by Wei Changgeng. How could he compete?
"Uncle, can't I get revenge for this?" Cao Junda was very dissatisfied.
Unexpectedly, Wang Mingrui sneered, "If it were before, I would have accepted this matter, but now it's different!"
"Hmm?" Cao Junda's hope reignited: "Uncle, do you have another idea?"
Wang Mingrui slowly said, "Junda, although the Su family in the provincial capital is currently in the spotlight, the Su family from the capital has now come to the provincial capital, with the intention of suppressing the Su family in the provincial capital. As for the Wei family... hehe... they shouldn't have offended the Su family from the capital. According to reliable news, Wei Changgeng is about to be investigated, and I will be appointed as the person in charge of Jiangnan Province."
Wang Mingrui had been away for some time regarding the investigation of Wei Changgeng and did not know the truth. He had just received a transfer order to bring people back. In Wang Mingrui's opinion, the investigation into Wei Changgeng had come to a conclusion, otherwise, he would not have been recalled. If Wei Changgeng was removed from office or demoted, wouldn't the position of head of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade in Jiangnan Province fall into his hands? Thinking of this, his heart burned.
"Uncle, congratulations, congratulations!" Cao Junda quickly clasped his fists and thanked him.
"However, this matter still needs to be handled cautiously. You have someone investigate Chen Xuan's whereabouts first, and then we'll deal with that guy!" Wang Mingrui narrowed his eyes. Wang Mingrui had originally planned to take swift action to deal with the person who had beaten Cao Junda, but now that the protagonist had become Chen Xuan, he had to be a little more cautious.
"I'll have someone do it right away!" Cao Junda immediately nodded.
In the evening. Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi drove to the Longquan Hotel to attend the banquet. As soon as they got out of the car, Su Yunxi said to Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, is someone following us?"
Chen Xuan glanced at a commercial vehicle behind them and smiled slightly, "Yunxi, even you noticed?"
"Mmm..." Su Yunxi rolled her eyes at Chen Xuan. "It's okay, it should be a small matter."
Chen Xuan was unconcerned, "Anyway, this is Wei family's territory, no one should dare to cause trouble." There was one more thing Chen Xuan didn't say: since even Su Yunxi noticed they were being followed, it must not be any powerful figure. As for who it was, Chen Xuan had already guessed about eighty percent of it; it was probably Cao Junda's people. He wouldn't care about such insignificant figures.
Su Yunxi heard this and nodded, tapping her fair chin, and walked into the Longquan Hotel holding Chen Xuan's arm. As soon as they entered the Longquan Hotel, someone in the parked commercial vehicle said into a walkie-talkie, "Mr. Cao, they've gone to the Longquan Hotel!"
Soon, a response came from the other side: "I know. Keep an eye on where they've gone, and I'll bring people over immediately!"
"Yes!" someone on the other end said in a deep voice.
...
At this time, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi had already entered the Longquan Hotel.
"Welcome!" As soon as they entered the Longquan Hotel, the welcoming lady waiting in the lobby greeted them with a smile, "Mr. Chen, Miss Su, Mr. Wei and others have already gone to the private room. I'll take you there!"
"Lead the way!" Chen Xuan nodded faintly. The welcoming lady led the way, with Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi following closely. Along the way, Su Yunxi held Chen Xuan's arm tightly, not showing any arrogance, but rather a delicate, dependent demeanor. Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. Miss Su of the Su family in the provincial capital actually showed such an expression? Many people felt envious and jealous of Chen Xuan, while many others had a look of great admiration on their faces! For a man to achieve this was truly amazing!
At this moment, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi had arrived at the private room. In the private room, there were a few familiar figures: Wei Changgeng, Wei Changzhe, and Wei Linlin. Besides them, sitting next to Wei Changgeng was a burly, square-faced man whom Chen Xuan did not recognize.
"Sister Yunxi, Chen Xuan!" Wei Linlin stood up from her seat and ran over with joy, hugging Su Yunxi tightly.
"Linlin!" Su Yunxi hugged Wei Linlin.
"Yunxi, Chen Xuan, please sit down quickly!" Wei Changgeng personally stood up, inviting Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi to sit. The square-faced man next to him frowned deeply at this scene.
"Uncle Wei is too kind!" Chen Xuan smiled, holding Su Yunxi's hand, and sat down. Wei Changzhe then signaled the waiter to start serving the dishes.
"Chen Xuan, let me introduce you. This is Xie Wei from the Yanhuang Iron Brigade!" Wei Changgeng extended his hand and pointed to the square-faced man next to him, introducing him. Chen Xuan's eyebrows rose, quite surprised. He had thought Xie Wei was a relative of the Wei family, but he didn't expect him to be from the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. Although Xie Wei was on good terms with Wei Changgeng, this was a thank-you banquet, a family gathering. Xie Wei's appearance made Chen Xuan feel something unusual.
"Xie Wei is one of my three top subordinates. You should get along well in the future," Wei Changgeng said with a smile. These words were clearly meant to introduce someone to Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan, giving Wei Changgeng face, extended his hand and said, "My name is Chen Xuan, the son-in-law of the Su family. Hello!"
Xie Wei remained seated and motionless. However, after Wei Changgeng glanced at him, his expression changed, and he reluctantly stood up and extended his hand: "Xie Wei!" These two words were filled with disdain. Clearly, this guy also looked down on Chen Xuan.
"Big Head Xie, how can you talk to Chen Xuan like that?" Wei Linlin stood up, hands on her hips, and said indignantly. Xie Wei immediately looked embarrassed. Although he considered himself extraordinary, he found the princess of the Wei family to be quite troublesome and had suffered losses many times.
"Ahem..." Wei Changgeng, unusually, stopped Wei Linlin: "Linlin, how can you talk to your Elder Brother Xie like that?"
"But how can he talk to Chen Xuan in that tone? He saved your life; he's the benefactor of our Wei family!" Wei Linlin said unwillingly. Wei Changgeng glared at Wei Linlin, who then begrudgingly closed her mouth, but secretly glared at Xie Wei. Xie Wei noticed Wei Linlin's gaze and looked rather unnatural.
Wei Changgeng glanced at Chen Xuan and Xie Wei: "You two should get along more in the future!" Xie Wei was reluctant, but he did not dare to disobey Wei Changgeng's orders. He immediately nodded, "I understand, Mr. Wei."
"Everyone, please sit!" Wei Changgeng said, and everyone sat down. At this time, fine wines and delicacies were quickly served. They were all the best dishes from the Longquan Hotel, prepared by the hotel's master chef. This was probably the most dishes the master chef had made in the past few months.
Bang! Suddenly, a loud noise erupted, and the door was violently pushed open.
