Chapter 424: Chapter 424: The Actor You Hired?
At the mont, Tong City’s Tycoon, Guo Jun, appeared extraordinarily respectful in front of Lin Dong.
Lin Dong frowned and asked, “I don’t seem to recall inviting you?”
“Mr. Lin, I heard about it on the wind and made a special trip to celebrate Elder Qiao’s birthday,” Guo Jun said, ingratiatingly.
Seeing Lin Dong was sowhat displeased, he felt extrely nervous.
Fearing that his actions had angered Lin Dong.
“I see,” Lin Dong said, nodding indifferently.
Tong City’s Tycoon, Guo Jun, quickly asked, “Mr. Lin, may I offer my birthday wishes to Elder Qiao?”
He feared he did not have the status to do so.
Lin Dong waved his hand and said, “Since you are here, you are a guest!”
Upon hearing this, Guo Jun’s face lit up with joy, and he imdiately brought out his gift, glancing towards Qiao Guoting at his side.
Then he stepped forward and asked very politely, “Are you Elder Qiao?”
Qiao Guoting numbly nodded.
“Elder Qiao, I am Guo Jun from Tong City. I’ve co especially to wish you a happy birthday.”
“May your fortune be as vast as the East Sea and your life as enduring as the southern mountains.”
“Here is my gift; please kindly accept it.”
After saying this, he handed over the gift.
Qiao Guoting felt as if he were in a dream and still couldn’t quite believe it until then.
Guo Jun’s hand, holding the gift, was becoming stiff, and only then, as if awakening from a dream, did he say,
“Then… Thank you very much, Mister Guo.”
Guo Jun gave a faint smile.
At the side, Lin Dong suddenly muttered, “I wonder if we’ve prepared enough tables for today.”
Guo Jun naturally heard this remark and imdiately spoke up,
“Elder Qiao, I ca today specifically to wish you well, and I don’t dare to impose any further. So I’ll take my leave now!”
Having said this, he turned his head towards Lin Dong to take his leave.
“Mr. Lin, I’ll be taking my leave now,” Guo Jun said.
He had achieved his goal and, very tactfully, chose to leave.
Seeing this, everyone from the Qiao family tried to detain him. However, since Lin Dong did not speak up, Guo Jun naturally chose to persist in leaving.
He wasn’t foolish. Mr. Lin Dong had already said the tables were scarce, clearly indicating that many other big shots were invited.
In front of those big shots invited by Mr. Lin Dong, Guo Jun could not assu a place. It was better to exit early.
Moreover, he had not received an invitation from Lin Dong and had taken the liberty of coming, so how could he presu to stay and dine?
It was best to stop while he was ahead!
This gesture of leaving right after presenting his gift pleased Lin Dong imnsely.
By leaving imdiately after delivering the gift, Guo Jun left a good impression on Lin Dong without inviting his displeasure. Indeed, to beco a local tycoon, it wasn’t enough just to have strong martial power; emotional intelligence was also important.
“Guo Jun, is it? I will rember your na this ti. If you ever need anything, you may co to ,” Lin Dong said casually.
These offhand words hit Guo Jun like a huge pie in the sky.
“I hit the jackpot this ti, gaining a favor from Master Lin!” Guo Jun thought to himself, elated.
He then respectfully bowed to Lin Dong and left, beaming with joy.
After his departure, everyone present was still deeply shocked.
mbers of the Zhou Family, mbers of the Qiao Family, everyone fell silent for a while.
It took several minutes before they began to co back to their senses.
Zhou Ming frowned and said, “What’s going on here?”
“Why would Tong City’s Tycoon, Guo Jun, act so respectful in front of that boastful person, Lin Dong?”
“Is this for real?”
Zhou Na also chid in, “He must have hired an actor, right? How could soone like Guo Jun have such an attitude?”
“Is he really the fad tycoon with thousands of “little brothers” in Tong City? Because that looked more like a toadying flunky than any big shot.”
Upon hearing these words, many nodded in agreent.
“This must be an actor; how could Guo Jun possibly act like that?”
However, as these doubts were raised,
soone imdiately said, “That Humr car, that’s definitely Guo Jun’s ride. The license plate is correct!”
“License plates can be faked, too! And you can rent a Humr!” Zhou Na continued to argue.
Hearing this, others also felt there was so sense in her words.
Compared to the behavior of Tong City’s Tycoon, Guo Jun, just now, they were more inclined to believe that Lin Dong had faked the license plate and rented the Humr to hire an actor!
Because in their eyes, how could Tong City’s Tycoon, Guo Jun, possibly co and offer birthday wishes to the Qiao family like so ‘lackey’?
That was too preposterous!
Zhou Na then looked around at everyone and asked,
“Has anyone here ever seen Tong City’s Tycoon, Guo Jun? Was that his true self? Can soone answer that?”
“Never seen him!” everyone replied in unison.
“We’ve only heard of him and his license plate number!”
“However, it’s said he indeed has a scar on his face, inflicted by Zhao Heilong back in the day.”
“…”
Clearly, none of those present had ever encountered Guo Jun before.
Seeing this, Zhou Na beca even more certain.
“That clinches it, Lin Dong must have hired that actor!” she declared.
Then, with a look of utter disdain towards Lin Dong, she sneered,
“Lin Dong, are you so desperate to show off that you’d risk your life?”
“How dare you hire an actor to impersonate Tong City’s Tycoon, Guo Jun?”
“Moreover, you even go as far as to rent a car and forge its license plate. Just for that alone, they could catch you!”
Upon hearing this, mbers of the Qiao Family, including Chu Yunxiu and Chu Lan, also looked towards Lin Dong.
Their faces were extrely ugly, clearly believing Zhou Na’s words.
They thought that the Tong City’s Tycoon, Guo Jun, was an actor hired by Lin Dong.
“Lin Dong, is he really an actor you hired?” Chu Yunxiu urgently questioned him, visibly nervous.
If he was, then the Qiao Family would be in trouble should the real Guo Jun find out.
