After connecting the call, Wang Guodong said with a face full of apologies, "Uncle Ye, I’m sorry to have let you down."

Wang Guodong also had a benefactor.

This person ca from the provincial capital and held a certain influence there.

The reason why Wang Guodong had a certain status in Jizhou was thanks to this person’s help in earlier years; otherwise, he would never have been able to beco the president of the Jizhou Chamber of Comrce.

Now, having been removed from his position, Wang Guodong felt he had let down Uncle Ye’s nurturing.

On the other end of the line, an elderly voice ca through, "Guodong, I’ve heard about your situation. It’s not your fault. If I were you, I would have maintained your attitude too."

The voice then changed the subject, "By the way, have you t so important person?"

Wang Guodong, looking puzzled, replied, "Uncle Ye, what do you an by that?"

The elder said, "I just received a ssage that soone recomnded you to beco the vice president of the Provincial Comrce Association. If nothing goes wrong, you should receive the appointnt letter from the Provincial Comrce Association tomorrow."

"What?" Wang Guodong stood up in disbelief, "Soone recomnded

as the vice president of the Provincial Comrce Association? How is that even possible?"

Wang Guodong was utterly bewildered, his eyes wide with shock, as he had no significant backers.

Qian Feng was also greatly surprised.

It was known that the Provincial Comrce Association had only three vice presidents, each holding significant power.

He had never dread that Wang Guodong would soon beco one of them.

And just then,

Wang Guodong and Qian Feng, as if thinking of the sa thing, simultaneously turned to look at Chen Nan, seeing his smile, their inner doubts dissipated.

At that mont, they finally understood why Chen Nan had confidently told Wang Guodong that he would definitely not choose to retire.

Qian Feng also understood what Chen Nan ant by his words "Your road has broadened and extended."

Because he had known before that Wang Guodong was about to beco the vice president of the Provincial Comrce Association.

After a brief chat with Uncle Ye, Wang Guodong hung up the phone, his face animated as he turned to Chen Nan, "Chen Nan, what exactly is going on? Did you secretly support Uncle Wang?"

Chen Nan smiled bitterly, "I don’t have that kind of ability!"

Pausing, he continued, "However, you should be able to guess who it is."

Unable to restrain himself, Wang Guodong blurted out, "Miss Yang?"

"Yes," Chen Nan said with a smile. "She doesn’t like owing favors to others, so she can only repay the favor for that piece of ambergris this way, provided that you have the capability and a good reputation."

Overwheld, Wang Guodong gulped, unable to stop himself from exclaiming, "What does my ability have to do with this? It mainly depends on your face!"

Wang Guodong wasn’t foolish; he knew why Yang Ruoshui would help him in this way—

Purely for Chen Nan’s sake.

A captivating smile played at the corners of Chen Nan’s mouth, "Uncle Wang, can you help

take care of Chen Group now?"

Wang Guodong nodded solemnly, knowing that if he beca the vice president of the Provincial Comrce Association, his status and position would rise significantly, thus aiding Chen Group’s ascension would not be difficult.

After a few more rounds of drinks,

Wang Guodong’s phone rang again. Seeing the number displayed, a sneer appeared on his face, "If I’m not mistaken, the people in the Chamber of Comrce must have heard sothing."

With a smile, Qian Feng said, "The news of President Wang becoming the vice president of the Provincial Comrce Association must have leaked, and certainly, so are trying to make ands with you now."

Wang Guodong grunted in acknowledgent and then pressed the speaker button.

The next mont,

A sycophantic voice ca through, "President Wang, I hope calling this late hasn’t disturbed your rest?"

Wang Guodong, feigning surprise, responded, "President Liu is being too polite. Having such an important person like you call

is an honor; how could it possibly affect my rest?"

Beside him, Chen Nan almost spit out his food, not expecting the usually stoic Wang Guodong to display such a sense of humor.

On the line, President Liu seed to have not picked up on Wang Guodong’s sarcasm and continued, "President Wang, you truly are magnanimous. About that Chamber of Comrce election issue, it was just a temporary confusion on our part, and I really hope you don’t take it to heart!"

The corner of Wang Guodong’s mouth twitched slightly, a look of disgust flashing across his eyes, but his tone remained exaggeratedly enthusiastic, "What are you talking about, President Liu? How could I harbor any thoughts?"

"As for the election, it was everyone’s choice. Why would I take it to heart?"

President Liu laughed dryly, "You are indeed broad-minded."

"It’s like this, I heard you’ve got so good news coming! Let

congratulate you in advance!"

"You see, there might have been so misunderstandings before, but from now on, the developnt of the Chamber of Comrce still depends on you!"

Wang Guodong, with a look of disdain in his eyes, replied, "President Liu, you flatter

too much."

"I’m just an ordinary person; I don’t have the ability to influence the Chamber’s developnt."

"Besides, back when I was president, I didn’t see you actively supporting ."

President Liu laughed awkwardly, "President Wang, I was blind not to recognize Mount Tai before. You are a great man, don’t stoop to my level."

"When are you free? How about we have a al together and talk in person?"

Wang Guodong snorted disdainfully, "You idiot, can’t you comprehend? What’s your status? What right do you have to dine with ?" and with that, he hung up.

He had no fondness for President Liu.

Even when he was serving as the president of the Jizhou Chamber of Comrce, President Liu had always opposed him.

And this election was also sabotaged by him.

Otherwise, Wang Guodong would never have been removed.

"That felt great!"

After the outburst, Wang Guodong instantly felt a refreshing sense of relief wash over him; his spirit and body imnsely soothed.

"Co on, let’s continue," Qian Feng laughed, raising his glass.

"I can’t handle anymore, you drink!" Chen Nan laughed bitterly, shaking his head, having already drunk over a pound and a half of white wine at lunchti, not to ntion Wang Guodong and Qian Feng’s huge alcohol tolerance.

If he continued to drink, he would surely vomit.

Wang Guodong and Qian Feng did not insist further and each drank another two glasses before ending the dinner, although, they still wanted to drink longer, but didn’t want Chen Nan to sit through it.

"Where are you headed, Uncle Wang can take you," after dinner, Wang Guodong, slinging his arm around Chen Nan, left the private room.

Chen Nan courteously said, "Uncle Wang, I’ve already checked into a room here. I won’t be going back tonight; you and Mr. Qian should head back and rest early!"

"Alright, we’ll talk over the phone if anything cos up." Not standing on ceremony, Wang Guodong left with Qian Feng.

As Chen Nan was about to head to his room to rest, his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID, a sudden jolt of anxiety and unease surged through him...
