Everyone knew that Jiang Hanwen had two precious daughters who were still unmarried.
Could it be that he was intending to have Zhang Xiaoshan as a son-in-law?
If so, they would have no hope at all.
The flattery toward Zhang Xiaoshan deeply wounded Zhang Jian’s heart.
He felt his dignity being trampled upon.
The key issue was that he couldn’t even compare to Zhang Xiaoshan.
It was truly tornting.
His staying here was simply self-degrading.
With a dark face, he twisted his body and walked away.
"Zhang Jian, what are you hurrying off to do?"
Zhang Xiaoshan called out.
Zhang Jian’s emotions were already on the brink of collapse, and Zhang Xiaoshan’s shout pushed him over the edge.
"You little brat, I’ve put up with you for a long ti, don’t push people too far."
"Don’t think just because you have Jiang City’s chief backing you, you can humiliate . If you push to the edge, we’ll both be dood, and no one will be better off."
Zhang Jian shouted furiously.
His eyes were filled with red.
He was too aggrieved.
Today he truly faced a great humiliation; he couldn’t swallow this grievance.
He was like a barrel of gunpowder ready to explode at any mont.
Seeing that things were taking a bad turn, everyone began to smooth things over.
"Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. Let’s just make peace."
"Yes, yes, while Yang City is neither too small nor too large, we see each other regularly. It’s really not good to have such a strained relationship."
Everyone was trying to console Zhang Xiaoshan.
Even Jiang Hanwen, after hesitating for a mont, couldn’t help but speak.
"Little Shan, I understand you feel aggrieved having been bullied, but today’s occasion isn’t right, and there are still important matters to attend to. Why not let Zhang Jian leave first? After all, the Zhang family has so foundation in Yang City over these years. Don’t press them too hard, or else..."
Jiang Hanwen clearly had his own concerns.
He controlled the power of life and death, but such power wasn’t to be used carelessly, especially for personal interests.
Luo ili was also urgently persuading Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Little Shan, it’s enough, really enough."
"Don’t be angry anymore."
"The bigger picture is more important."
Zhang Xiaoshan, however, responded with a carefree smile.
"Ladies and gentlen, you’ve misunderstood my intent."
"My calling for Mr. Zhang to stay wasn’t to embarrass him."
"It was because I wanted to seriously tell him sothing."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned, very curious.
Zhang Jian also had a confused expression.
At that mont, they heard Zhang Xiaoshan, with a loud and clear voice, say.
"Mr. Zhang, your elder, tonight, really brought a ’lady’ with him."
The entire room went silent in an instant.
Soon after,
"Hahaha..."
Thunderous laughter erupted.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, I’m f*cking..."
Zhang Jian completely broke down.
This was a slap in the face that split his skin open and then sprinkled salt in the wound.
"Pfft."
All of a sudden, Zhang Jian covered his chest and staggered, then a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out and he collapsed on the ground.
Died from anger?
"Young master, young master?"
"Quick, send the young master to the hospital, save him, save him!"
The butler hurriedly called people to carry Zhang Jian to the hospital.
Lu Qian nervously tried to slip away but was caught and pulled away by the Zhang family’s bodyguard.
"Butler, no need to worry, Zhang Jian just had a surge of anger; he won’t die right away. But really, your young master’s tolerance is too low. I was kindly helping him to expose the fraud, and yet he is still angry."
Zhang Xiaoshan said sarcastically.
The butler’s face turned green with anger.
But he still gritted his teeth and said,
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, on behalf of my young master, I thank you for your great kindness and grace. Rest assured, my Zhang family will rember this forever and will surely repay you properly when the opportunity arises."
This statent was like a threat waiting for the Zhang family’s retaliation.
Zhang Xiaoshan wore a look of disdain.
"Alright, I’m always available."
"Good, let the green mountains never change and the clear waters flow forever, until we et again!"
The old butler also hurried away.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, you are indeed powerful, even the notorious Zhang Jian could be subdued by you."
"Hey, young man, let’s add WeChat, let’s make friends and get to know each other first."
A group of heiresses rushed toward Zhang Xiaoshan as if they were crazy.
Zhang Xiaoshan quickly looked to Jiang Hanwen for help.
Jiang Hanwen smiled.
"Alright, ladies and gentlen, you should be well-acquainted by now. Let’s move on to the charity auction segnt."
"After the auction is over, you can discuss cooperative matters further."
The excited crowd began to quiet down.
The crowd was led into a small auditorium that had been set up earlier.
Jiang Hanwen gave a speech, mostly official rhetoric, and then Director Han took over and started the auction.
The items up for auction were various kinds of jewelry and antiques.
But the transaction prices were about twice the normal price.
Because this was a charity sale.
All the money would be donated to children in mountainous areas.
Everyone was partly participating in charity and partly showcasing their wealth, also giving face to the municipal governnt.
Zhang Xiaoshan conveniently bought two pieces of jewelry.
Since he was there, he participated.
However, at the end, an unexpected event occurred.
A short sword covered in copper rust was brought up to the auction stage.
The short sword was a bit more than a foot long, its body covered in green copper rust, severely weathered already.
"What’s this for?"
"It better not be dug out from a grave. Too ominous, I don’t want it."
Everyone shook their heads.
Only Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes lit up.
