Chapter 270: Looks & Wealth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The atmosphere seed to have frozen the mont this man sat down.

Xiang Wan looked at Bai Muchuan.

His casual greeting indicated that he didn’t seem surprised to see this stranger.

“Let’s all sit down.

“Get them to serve the dishes faster.

“The guests are hungry!”

The owner, Abdul, instructed the waitress outside the private dining room and joined them by taking a seat with the beautiful girl sitting beside him.

As they were not familiar with each other, it was especially awkward to sit together.

Thus, although the hotpot before them looked good, it seed to suddenly lose its flavor.

Apparently, the amount of curiosity was greater than hunger. Everyone was guessing the identity of this man and did not feel hungry at the mont.

Was he Brother Steel? Or soone from the Dark Clan?

They were quiet as they were filled with questions in their stomach.

Bai Muchuan had a calm expression and would definitely not open his mouth first.

It was as though a battle of silence in that few seconds till Abdul broke the ice with his laughter.

“Hahaha, my distinguished guests, I almost forgot—”

Abdul got up from his seat and pointed at the graceful, well-dressed man. “This is my friend, Mr. ng Chi.”

He added after a montary pause. “CEO of the ng Entertainnt Group.”

What the! Domineering CEO?

This was the first reaction of Xiang Wan.

She had read too many romance novels that she was very sensitive to the title of CEO.

Almost imdiately, she glanced at the calmly seated CEO as fast as she could.

He did not look at Xiang Wan and remained as composed as he was. Although he looked approachable, at the sa ti, there seed to be a distance that was hard to close.

Well...

Bai Muchuan saw her reaction.

In that split second, Xiang Wan did not notice that there was a slight change in Bai Muchuan’s expression.

...

Abdul laughed again when he finished the introduction of ng Chi and looked at Bai Muchuan and his group before sitting down.

He was a friend of ng Chi and did not know about Bai Muchuan.

However, under his expectant glance, Bai Muchuan did not seem to have any intention of giving a proper introduction of himself.

“Nice to et you!”

Bai Muchuan only said that as a response, showing an appropriate smile as he stroked his glass slowly.

“So CEO ng will be buying us dinner tonight!”

“...”

Just earlier, Abdul had already said he would give a 50 percent discount for them.

In the end, Bai Muchuan directly made ng Chi bear the dinner expenses.

Moreover, he did not ask why ng Chi was there...

“My pleasure!” ng Chi laughed. “I’ve long heard about Captain Bai’s na. It is my honor to be able to dine with Captain Bai tonight!”

Thump! It was as though Xiang Wan heard her own heart sank.

ng Chi directly addressed Bai Muchuan as “Captain Bai”, that ant he knew who Bai Muchuan was.

In other words, this guy could easily turn the plans that Bai Muchuan had so far to naught.

The tension in the room suddenly seed to have increased.

For a good while, nobody spoke a word.

The electromagnetic cooker below the hotpot had been turned on and the soup in the pot was beginning to boil, the faint aroma of the boiling soup started to fill the room.

This was supposed to be a regular dinner, but the current atmosphere was so nervous as though they were on a battlefield.

“I didn’t expect that I would be recognized by soone after traveling so far away from ho.”

When it cos to manners and adaptability, Bai Muchuan was second to none. Even though ng Chi called him “Captain Bai” openly, there was no nervousness on Bai Muchuan’s face.

Instead, he asked ng Chi a question, “CEO ng, what do you want?”

“I don’t have any other intentions.” ng Chi looked at him. “I just happened to be your fan, wanting to treat my idol to a al since I t you here. But I don’t want to appear as too abrupt, so I got my friend here to help out.”

A fan...

Everyone looked at Bai Muchuan.

Bai Muchuan showed a half-smile, his eyes slightly darkened.

When he looked at ng Chi, it felt like a dagger trying to pierce through ng Chi’s eye.

The two of them looked at each other for almost half a minute long.

Bai Muchuan took a bite of the food on the table, as well as a sip of the soup. His movents were elegant and relaxed, yet his aura started to be imposing.

“CEO ng flattered too much. But from your looks, you don’t seem like a person who’s worried about being abrupt?”

Is this the battle between two formidable rivals?

ng Chi showed a smile. “It’s natural to feel uneasy when facing one’s idol.”

One was unable to tell if he was being truthful due to his emotionless tone.

From the beginning till now, even though this whole thing was filled with strangeness, they found no flaws in his words.

He knew who Bai Muchuan was. It could be due to this case or they knew each other further back. They happened to bump into each other at Nanmu and he wanted to give a treat... It sure sounded reasonable.

Nevertheless...

For soone who didn’t seem to be a friend that knew Bai Muchuan’s real identity in Nanmu, that sohow made Xiang Wan felt chilly all over.

“I see.” Bai Muchuan just smiled and did not pursue further.

“So is CEO ng here in Nanmu for a holiday?”

This was such a remote place, certainly not a good place to go to for a holiday.

ng Chi sighed a little helplessly. “I’m here for work. Just like you, Captain Bai.”

The way ng Chi put it would make one chew over his words.

If he didn’t include the latter part of the sentence, the first half would have sounded normal.

The addition of the latter half of the sentence sohow just gave the creeps.

Bai Muchuan remained silent, but Quan Shaoteng couldn’t hold back his tongue anymore.

He couldn’t stand the enigmatic aura of this man. “How could you know about Captain Bai’s purpose in Nanmu? This is confidential.”

Quan Shaoteng was also not soone to be trifled with. He imitated ng Chi’s style of talking thoroughly.

His sentence, coupled with the last few words, was enough to frighten the other party.

ng Chi’s eyes shifted slowly onto Quan Shaoteng’s face. There wasn’t much change in his expression besides his eyelids twitching a little.

“Friend, I know the job nature of Captain Bai. This is just a wild guess of mine. I do not want to get myself involved in any confidential matters.”

“Oh, this is just my wild guess, too.” Quan Shaoteng laughed coldly. “And by the way, we’re not friends.”

He was a person who did not care about the embarrassnt his words could cause to another.

Most people would not be able to tolerate such tone and would normally end up fuming with anger.

ng Chi, however, rely laughed and didn’t have much reaction.

“Please excuse for being abrupt.”

With that, he ignored Quan Shaoteng and shifted his focus back on Bai Muchuan.

“I ca to Nanmu because of an important project on hand! Nanmu happened to be the filming location.”

Project? Filming location?

When Xiang Wan connected the na of ng Chi’s company with these words, her heart skipped a beat.

True enough, in the next mont, Tang Yuanchu raised his doubt.

“You’re the investor of ‘The Grey List’?”

“...”

Tang Yuanchu’s interruption was sudden and unexpected.

The rest of the group gave him a weird stare.

Most people only knew the actors and actresses of “The Grey List”, yet Tang Yuanchu actually knew about the investor.

From what Xiang Wan knew, Tang Yuanchu was not soone to follow closely on entertainnt news. How did he know so much about “The Grey List”?

Tang Yuanchu probably noticed his abruptness and laughed to save so face.

“I’ve always been a fan of Second Young Master Mu. I pay close attention to his works and that’s why I know about all this.”

Xiang Wan felt like frowning at him.

They had been colleagues for so long, yet she never knew he was a fan of Second Young Master Mu.

This fellow was more likely to be a fan of Xie Wanwan!

He must have watched all this news about “The Grey List” closely because of Xie Wanwan.

For him to know this much, it clearly showed that he was really into Xie Wanwan.

Maybe Xie Wanwan was also in Nanmu? Xiang Wan took a deep look at Tang Yuanchu.

She didn’t want to diss him in front of outsiders, so she kept quiet.

At that mont, ng Chi suddenly let out a chuckle. “What a coincidence! too!”

His laughter successfully alleviated Tang Yuanchu’s awkwardness. Everyone didn’t think much of it but instead find this handso and rich CEO to be a thoughtful and considerate person.

They even started to feel that this dinner did not seem to be that strange anymore.

“This brother is right,” said ng Chi who took a glance at Tang Yuanchu, “however, I’m not only the investor of ‘The Grey List’, my company also handles the production and distribution of the film as well. ‘The Grey List’ is the biggest project that our company has taken on this year as we single-handedly took care of all aspects of the project.”
