Chapter 731 He Helps Chen Jianguo?
Jianguo Group was an enterprise that strictly abided by laws and regulations, including both him and Chen Jianguo; they’ve hardly ever involved themselves in any illegal activities. Over the years at Jianguo Group, no matter what the matter was, or which departnt ca knocking, he always cooperated imdiately, taking the most accommodating asures possible, doing his utmost to assist them.
But this ti, the incident involved Xiao Yi and could potentially harm Jianguo Group’s reputation. To minimize the damage as much as possible, he had to adopt so PR maneuvers that weren’t entirely aboveboard.
An hour later, the racing incident on the airport highway, which had already been a hot topic online and in the dia, finally reached a conclusion. The traffic police departnt, which had been silent all this ti, at last made a statent.
The driver of the car did not have any major background nor was they a wealthy second-generation individual, but an employee of a subsidiary company of Jianguo Group. They were desperately rushing for an urgent matter, had already turned themselves in, and taken the appropriate responsibility. Considering the panic they caused on the roads, a series of punishnts were to be administered.
Once this explanation was released, it caused an imdiate uproar online. Countless people expressed their doubts and disbelief, and all sorts of conspiracy theories began to circulate. However, these statents were quickly refuted one by one and various pieces of evidence were brought forward. Moreover, several celebrities began to voice their ’objective’ comntary on the incident...
Under the influence of these public opinions, the narrative finally started to sway to the other side, and people began to criticize and rebut the skeptics and conspiracy theorists...
In an office in G City, a man holding a mouse looked at those comnts online and couldn’t contain his anger any longer. He slamd his fist on the table and started swearing loudly.
At the entrance of the office, several police officers, hearing the cursing coming from inside, glanced cautiously inside and then prudently lowered their heads.
They all knew what their boss was raging about, and they all felt a sense of helplessness inside. The boss was good in all aspects, but he had one flaw: he was too stubborn...
In fact, the situation regarding today’s incident was crystal clear. Although he also felt that Jianguo Group’s explanation was sowhat unreliable and even though they hadn’t clearly seen the real face of the main culprit at the ti, they had caught a glimpse of the figure, which definitely wasn’t the person they had in custody now. But what could they do without evidence? Their word couldn’t serve as evidence, and besides, the person had already actively admitted their mistake and co forward...
Moreover, the higher-ups of Jianguo Group showed their sincerity, not only admitting mistakes and accepting punishnt willingly but also offered to compensate for the accident to the best of their ability. They pledged to donate ten million for the repair of several major roads in G City...
Besides, although the act was despicable, it hadn’t caused any fatalities or traffic accidents, had it? With such a result, it was a win-win situation for everyone involved; what else was there to worry about? But their boss just couldn’t accept this outco and had even quarreled with the higher-ups, all effort wasted without gaining any favor...
"Kid, I won’t let you escape the law. One day, I’ll catch you and bring you to justice. I’ll severely punish you. Don’t think you can escape the law by pulling so strings and spending a little money. It’s because of people like you that there’s so much disharmony in the world’s traffic and so many accidents!"
Inside the office, the man clenched his fists, his eyes filled with stern determination.
........................
Xiao Yi was unaware of how Liu Yuan had handled the previous incident, nor did he know about the massive uproar that had occurred online...
Returning to Azure Waterfront from the airport, Xiao Yi had been pondering one issue: the safety of Chen Jianguo. He knew he couldn’t possibly be Chen Jianguo’s personal bodyguard, but he also knew that so of the bodyguards Chen Jianguo had hired, though fairly decent against average people, were definitely not enough against truly professional assassins, especially those who had surpassed the Bone Tempering Period and were of a higher caliber.
Had it been before, he certainly wouldn’t have cared about this, but now, with the unstable factor of Li Zhengyi, he couldn’t help but prepare for the worst.
However, after thinking long and hard, he still couldn’t devise a perfect solution. He could certainly borrow soone from a friend, such as Situ Qingfeng; to the Situ Family, a Bone Tempering expert would surely not be missed, but he did not want to ask for that favor...
He was not soone accustod to seeking help. More often than not, the concept of asking for assistance didn’t even exist in his thoughts. His mindset was more about what he could do for others, rather than what others could do for him...
After returning ho, he finally decided to temporarily set aside the issue and confront sothing that was more pressing for him at the mont: the end-of-term exams.
After all, with Li Zhengyi back in M country, even if he had to take action against Chen Jianguo again, it likely wouldn’t happen so soon...
But Xiao Yi’s plan to review his books in peace and quiet for the end-of-term exams still failed to materialize, because Chen Jianguo did indeed make a phone call. The banquet that had not happened in the morning was finally realized that very evening.
After receiving a call from Liu Yuan at noon and hearing his report, Chen Jianguo, who had almost fully recovered, instantly decided to be discharged that afternoon, as he felt he could no longer stay in the hospital.
And he decided that in the evening, he would host a proper banquet, gathering the entire family. Of course, the most important aspect was to express his gratitude to Xiao Yi. He was extrely thankful to Xiao Yi. Since Xiao Yi had arrived in G City, apart from initially arranging his enrollnt and providing accommodation, Chen Jianguo felt he had hardly helped Xiao Yi at all. On the contrary, Xiao Yi had helped him ti and again.
His emotions were far from calm. Although he knew such a banquet was absolutely inadequate to express his gratitude and repay Xiao Yi, he felt he at least needed to convey his sentints. He couldn’t just do nothing.
Xiao Yi, of course, was unaware of Chen Jianguo’s complex feelings and thoughts. Chen Jianguo’s invitation was sothing he naturally couldn’t decline; moreover, he believed there would be no more accidents this ti. After studying at ho for over two hours in the afternoon, he headed to Jianguo Building. However, since the "culprit vehicle" had been directly confiscated by the Traffic Bureau at noon, and it was likely to be scrapped, and a new car, Liu Yuan had said, would be delivered, but would take so ti, so he was without a car and had to resort to taking taxis again.
The banquet was held at Jingyue Pavilion. In addition to Xiao Yi, Chen Jianguo also invited Wang Dawei’s family, including Wang Qingqing. As for other guests, not a single one was invited, even those from the Han Family with whom he had a close partnership.
For Chen Jianguo, this banquet was defined as a family feast.
At the table, Chen Jianguo, completely disregarding his recent recovery, kept toasting Xiao Yi and Wang Dawei’s family to express his gratitude. Chen Xue couldn’t stop him, which made her constantly pout and look displeased. It wasn’t until Xiao Yi said it didn’t matter that she sowhat cald down.
At the banquet, the most shocked was undoubtedly Wang Qingqing.
Seeing how polite Chen Jianguo was towards Xiao Yi, continuously raising his glass and expressing his gratitude, she felt as if her entire worldview had been overturned. To her, Xiao Yi had already held an unbelievable position due to his relationship with the highly esteed Chen Jianguo. But now, it seed that Chen Jianguo’s attitude towards him wasn’t one of condescension, but rather a respectful looking up. From Chen Jianguo’s eyes, she sensed a deep, genuine respect for Xiao Yi!
And as for Secretary Liu, it goes without saying—it could simply be described as reverence!
What shocked her even more was that their respect and gratitude towards Xiao Yi was not because of his status, or at least not fully because of it, but due to Xiao Yi’s help to them!
Helping Chen Jianguo?
What a joke, who was Chen Jianguo? What was there that he couldn’t do? If he couldn’t manage sothing, how could this junior be able to? He had that much capability?
Throughout the entire banquet, Wang Qingqing’s mind was in turmoil, constantly pondering this question. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to cast your recomndation votes and monthly votes at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
