Chapter 926: Chapter 931: The Youngest Leader
Lin Feng knew why there were so many attendees. Although the current hall master of Longfeng Martial Hall was Lin Feng, the investor was the Ning Corporation, and it was also one of the Hong Sect’s chain martial halls. Whether it was the Ning Corporation or the Hong Sect, in Jiangzhou, or even the whole of China, they were renowned names!
Furthermore, Zhu Xiuyue had previously contacted dozens of media outlets to place a large number of advertisements. The martial hall’s opening attracted countless enthusiasts and curious onlookers, making the crowds even larger!
At this moment, under Lin Feng’s watchful eye, dozens of guests had already gotten off their cars and, led by the welcoming staff, arrived at the sign-in area in the martial hall lobby to sign in and wear bright chest flowers.
These people were prominent figures in Jiangzhou’s business community. Their purpose for attending was clear—to make friends and seek opportunities. However, the vision of these business moguls was not very discerning. Many simply smiled and nodded at Lin Feng, who stood watching them from the stairs, without realizing Lin Feng was the new martial hall’s hall master!
Lin Feng actually didn’t mind not being recognized. In fact, if Zhu Xiuyue hadn’t given him a task, he wouldn’t want to appear in such bustling and crowded places...
Speaking of which, Lin Feng’s task was simple—welcome some influential guests. But Lin Feng was the only suitable candidate to do this because besides him, it was difficult for others to easily converse with Ning Fuxun, Lin Zhonghua, Cao Tiannan, Bai Yuanshan, Xu Yishan, Long Shaotian, and those old folks...
In truth, Zhu Xiuyue was astonished after hearing the guest list. When Lin Feng finished listing the names, Zhu Xiuyue was almost scared to death by Lin Feng... She finally understood why Lin Feng was not afraid of Jiang Youdao at all. Lin Feng didn’t even want to bother with Jiang Youdao because their levels were just too far apart!
After standing for a while, Lin Feng finally found his first target—a Hummer with Jiangzhou Military Division plates, which was his father Lin Zhonghua’s specialized vehicle. Without hesitation, Lin Feng scurried over.
As Lin Feng approached Lin Zhonghua’s vehicle, he saw that not only Lin Zhonghua was sitting in the rear seat, but also Cao Tiannan, which made Lin Feng show a strange smile.
Wasn’t Cao Tiannan a rival in love with his old man? How could they appear in the same car?!
"Mayor Cao is attending today in his personal capacity, so it’s inconvenient for him to use his own vehicle. Please understand, Boss Lin!" Li Jiawei, Cao Tiannan’s secretary beside him, explained promptly upon seeing Lin Feng’s peculiar expression.
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke sarcastically, "Cowardly, evasive... definitely not a good person!"
Although it wasn’t explicitly named, it was easy to hear that the sarcasm was directed at Cao Tiannan. Li Jiawei’s face instantly darkened, but he couldn’t react because the speaker was Lin Feng’s father, Jiangzhou City Military Division Commander Lin Zhonghua!
In the co-pilot seat, Lin Zhonghua’s guard Luo Yang gave a helpless smile. The mouth is on the commander’s face, which he couldn’t control. Although the commander was sarcastically critiquing the mayor of Jiangzhou City, Luo Yang found it somewhat inappropriate as well. However, in front of so many people, it wasn’t appropriate for him to advise Lin Zhonghua lest he gets beaten.
"Heh, Lin Dapao! I only hitched a ride from you once, and how come your mouth stinks so bad?" Cao Tiannan lightly patted Li Jiawei’s shoulder to comfort him and retaliated against Lin Zhonghua without any politeness.
"You’re disgusted by my smell, yet you still decided to ride my car..." Lin Zhonghua sneered at Cao Tiannan, without any courtesy, "You’re afraid of being accused of misusing public vehicles. I’m not! How about you give me some fare as gas money, and I’ll let it slide..."
Everyone present, including Lin Feng, fell silent; the commander had merely given someone a ride, and yet had the cheek to ask for fare: it was truly beneath his dignity...
A few dozen bucks, do you have the nerve to ask?
Lin Feng felt his face heat with embarrassment...
However, Cao Tiannan’s response was even more jaw-dropping.
"What fare, wasn’t it agreed to offer a free ride to friends? If you dare charge fare, you’ll become an illegal taxi!" Cao Tiannan chuckled, "And I’ll fine you for being an illegal taxi..."
What kind of people are they?! How could one be thicker-skinned than the other?! Lin Feng had come to realize that apparently, to climb higher, one needs sufficient thick skin. Cao Tiannan and Lin Zhonghua vividly demonstrated this point in front of him.
After dropping the two big shots at the fifth-floor VIP event area, Lin Feng received a call from the security downstairs that Qingzi Sect Jiangzhou Hall Master Long Shaotian had arrived, and asked Boss Lin to go meet him...
When Lin Feng rushed to the parking lot, Long Shaotian, along with Yan Su and Long Xiaoyun, had already disembarked from his stretch Lincoln and were walking along the red carpet into the martial hall.
Long Shaotian making this gesture showed that in his heart, he didn’t think his identity was much superior to Lin Feng’s, which was an expression of humility...
Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel a twinge of emotion; Long Shaotian was indeed not an ordinary person. Even though he now had the status of a Hong Sect martial hall leader and was on equal footing with him, he was still a junior. Long Shaotian making such a gesture was clearly paying respect to Lin Feng.
It seemed Long Shaotian’s mindset had shifted somewhat after the recent tumultuous events.
"Lord Dragon, Little Yun, Yan Su!" Lin Feng delightedly greeted them with a smile and called out to them.
"Lin Feng!" "Brother Feng!"
Long Shaotian and Long Xiaoyun were quite excited to see Lin Feng, though Long Xiaoyun felt gratitude towards him, while Long Shaotian’s eyes held a more complex emotion.
As for Yan Su, he merely silently glanced at Lin Feng, leaving a look without speaking; everything was understood without words.
"Unexpected... Unexpected!" Long Shaotian excitedly sized up the still-unofficially-opened Longfeng Martial Hall with some sentiment and said, "Lin Feng, I previously thought you were destined for something with my Qingzi Sect, but unexpectedly, you finally joined the Hong Sect and became the youngest leader in over two hundred years, which is truly impressive..."
Long Shaotian’s words seemed to be casually chatting like talking about home, but Lin Feng’s gaze suddenly fixed, sensing something was off...
Joining the Hong Sect shouldn’t be too difficult for Long Shaotian to understand, since the Hong Sect was filled with martial arts masters, and it had a better reputation than the Qingzi Sect. Choosing the Hong Sect wasn’t a problem, but the issue lay in Long Shaotian’s latter half-sentence!
The youngest leader in over two hundred years of Hong Sect!
That statement had a problem!
