"My friends and I want to sing; please arrange a private room for us," Ge Dongxu said.
"Certainly, Mr. Ge. One mont," Brother Wolf respectfully replied. He then called the front desk manager to inquire about the availability of rooms, and upon learning that the Emperor Hall was free, he promptly arranged for Ge Dongxu and the others to use it.
...
Charm Ginza, Chairman's Office.
Bald Qiang looked at Chen Jiaxiang, whose hair had started to grey, showing signs of aging, but who still emitted a dignified aura befitting a superior. He said with a troubled expression, "President Chen, I really know very little about that Mr. Ge."
"Wang Qiang, after all, we're both part of Qin. You wouldn't deny this favor, would you?" A man in his fifties or sixties with a goatee beside Chen Jiaxiang spoke unhappily, a powerful presence emanating from him.
When one's wealth and power reach a certain level, the desire naturally arises to associate with extraordinary individuals for the purpose of extending one's life and preserving prosperity.
The Chen Family was no exception. Over the years, they had spent wealth generously and made inquiries widely, managing to connect with so such individuals. Although most were just seeking fa, a few genuinely had remarkable abilities.
This ti, one such truly capable magician had co with Chen Jiaxiang.
Although Bald Qiang's status could not compare to Chen Jiaxiang's, he still had so influence in Linzhou, and given the current sensitive period, it was not appropriate for Chen Jiaxiang to pressure Bald Qiang too forcefully. Thus, he had brought the magician, thinking that if Bald Qiang refused to disclose insider information, the magician could apply so pressure to make him comply.
However, what Chen Jiaxiang had not anticipated was that Bald Qiang was also a mber of Qin, and the person he had brought recognized Bald Qiang.
"Sun Yunyang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I truly have limited knowledge. If you really want to know, you should ask Xu Lei," Wang Qiang said, irritation flickering in his eyes as he faced the formidable aura of the goateed man, Sun Yunyang, but his expression eventually turned into a bitter smile.
In terms of cultivation, he was one small realm below Sun Yunyang, and in terms of techniques, Sun Yunyang was much more skilled than him.
Because Sun Yunyang was a mber of the Golden Mountain Sect, which, although not as prominent as Dragon Tiger Mountain or the Kunlun Sect in Huaxia Country, is still a sect with considerable strength and its own transmitted techniques. Wang Qiang, being a loose cultivator with familial traditions, couldn't compare in background or inheritance.
"Which Xu Lei are you referring to?" Sun Yunyang frowned upon hearing this.
"Which other Xu Lei in Jiangnan Province could have connections with both of us?" Wang Qiang replied with a bitter smile.
"You an Xu Lei! Is he also a mber of Qin?" Sun Yunyang's expression shifted slightly.
"That's all I can say. You should understand that my knowledge as an outsider definitely has limits when it involves that departnt," Wang Qiang said, glancing sideways at Chen Jiaxiang, then addressing Sun Yunyang.
"Given it involves that departnt, your knowledge would indeed be limited," Sun Yunyang nodded, his aura unconsciously subduing.
"Master Sun, what departnt are you referring to?" Chen Jiaxiang asked, frowning slightly.
"For people like us, the state has a specific departnt to oversee and regulate us. The Xu Lei we just ntioned is the official head of this departnt in Jiangnan Province. It seems that the person Chen Longyou offended last night must also belong to this departnt, which explains why the special police were involved. Since this departnt relates to national security, it does possess certain privileges. As for the province's later response, it was probably just seizing the opportunity to admonish your Chen Family," Sun Yunyang replied.
"If that's the case, it's easy to handle." Chen Jiaxiang nodded upon hearing this, his expression visibly relaxed.
After the incident last night, the Chen family held an ergency eting imdiately and used many connections, also expressing their stance indirectly. But as the day went on, the situation seed to escalate, prompting Chen Jiaxiang to seek out Bald Strong.
"Nine tis out of ten, it should be this way, otherwise, I'll go directly to Jiangnan University this afternoon and ask that Ge Dongxu to clarify and confirm it. We all belong to the Qin, and our Golden Mountain Sect still holds so influence," Sun Yunyang said, his face showing a trace of pride.
With the influence of the Chen family, the overt identity of Ge Dongxu—they could inquire into it, as it was no secret.
But regarding Ge Dongxu's other identity, including roles like chief consultant, and the behind-the-scenes owner of Qinghe Herbal Tea and other companies, even the influence of the Chen family wasn't enough to dig these out.
The reason Chen Jiaxiang ca to Bald Strong instead of going directly to Ge Dongxu was that he was worried about Ge Dongxu's additional identity, lest they ss things up.
Looking at it now, it seems he was overconcerned. Although Ge Dongxu's identity is a bit special, for the Chen family's influence, there's nothing to be afraid of.
"That's good! It's better to resolve grievances than to let them fester. Since this person is also from your Qin, it's better to let this grudge pass and also show our stance to the province," Chen Jiaxiang nodded and said.
As he spoke, Chen Jiaxiang stood up and cupped his hands toward Wang Qiang, "Mr. Wang, I've caused you trouble. I'll treat you to tea another day."
"Mr. Chen, you're too polite. I'll see you out," Wang Qiang hurriedly got up and said.
The three of them left the director's office together and as they passed the lobby, they happened to et Ge Dongxu and his group, who were about to go to Emperor Hall.
Seeing it was Ge Dongxu, Wang Qiang's body shook involuntarily, wondering whether it was appropriate to greet him at this ti, when Ge Dongxu had already smiled and extended his hand, "Mr. Wang, hello."
"Hello, Mr. Ge!" Wang Qiang quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Ge Dongxu.
"Could you be Ge Dongxu?" Sun Yunyang asked, his face carrying a hint of pride.
In the world of Qin, the main principle followed is that of respecting the strong. Putting aside Xu Lei's official capacity, in Qin, Sun Yunyang's status was in no way inferior to Xu Lei's. In fact, because of his age and sect, he was even more established than Xu Lei. It is just that Xu Lei was a "governnt" person and also the head of the Special Ability Managent Bureau in a province, which made people treat him with deference, even though they were just polite on the surface.
However, Ge Dongxu, being only in his twenties, seed to Sun Yunyang just a junior, even if he had joined the Special Ability Managent Bureau. As a predecessor of Qi Cultivation Third Layer and a disciple of the Golden Mountain Sect, he naturally couldn't lower his status just because Ge Dongxu was a "governnt" person.
"Correct." Ge Dongxu nodded, then turned to Liu Manman and the others and said, "You go ahead, I'll be there shortly."
"Alright." Liu Manman and the others nodded obediently. Before leaving, Liu Manman and Wu Shiyi both gave Chen Jiaxiang a surprised look.
As the leading actresses at the provincial entertainnt station, they often attended high society banquets and naturally recognized Chen Jiaxiang, the billionaire.
However, Chen Jiaxiang's attention was all on Ge Dongxu at the mont, and since Liu Manman and the other were wearing sunglasses, he didn't recognize them imdiately.
