103: Chapter 103: Three Bumpkins Appear 103: Chapter 103: Three Bumpkins Appear Liang Zi saw his beloved car being driven away by Xiang Yu and others, and his heart ached, but he had no choice.
If he asked for the car back now, the boss would definitely be unhappy, especially since the benefits Xiang Yu had promised far outweighed a single car.
“Shi Jian, investigate the background of this Liang Zi tomorrow morning,” Xiang Yu instructed while lying in the car.
Then he took out his phone to make a call, noticed the lateness of the hour, and finally decided against calling.
When they returned to the villa, it was already past midnight.
The next day, when Xiang Yu ca downstairs, Shi Jian had already left.
Sitting on the sofa, Xiang Yu took out his mobile phone and dialed Wu Jing’s number.
“What’s the situation there?” asked Xiang Yu.
“Everything’s fine; they’ve all settled down.
Brother Yu, I have an idea but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to share,” Wu Jing said hesitantly.
“Speak,” Xiang Yu said succinctly.
Wu Jing shared his thoughts.
He was hesitant because his suggestion required a lot of money, and he wasn’t sure if Xiang Yu would agree.
Xiang Yu liked the suggestion and agreed imdiately.
He trusted Wu Jing’s capabilities; otherwise, he wouldn’t have assigned him such an important task.
“Once everything is stable there, leave the brothers there and co back yourself.
I have sothing for you to do,” Xiang Yu said succinctly.
Wu Jing didn’t ask what it was and agreed imdiately.
After hanging up the call, around noon, Wu Haotian called, saying there was an event he hoped Xiang Yu would attend.
Xiang Yu initially planned to refuse, but then thought it harmless and agreed.
In the afternoon, Shi Jian hurried back and gave Xiang Yu the detailed information about Liang Zi.
The information matched what Xiang Yu had surmised.
About six in the evening, Xiang Yu arrived at a hotel per Wu Haotian’s arrangent.
By then, the hotel’s exterior had already been filled with cars, each worth millions.
Xiang Yu’s car seed sowhat shabby compared to the others.
Upon entering the hotel and reaching the top floor, they were just about to enter a room when soone stopped them.
“Excuse , sir, do you have an invitation?” asked a young, fairly handso man.
“No invitation, but Wu Haotian asked us to co,” replied Xiang Yu.
He glanced into the room, which was large and already filled with many people holding wine glasses and chatting.
Their gestures and deanor marked them as people of status.
“I’m sorry, but this area has been reserved.
If you don’t have an invitation, you may not enter,” the attendant apologized.
Noticing that the attendant, despite his humble appearance, did not show any disdain, Xiang Yu didn’t make it difficult for him.
Just as he was about to call Wu Haotian, Wu Haotian ca out.
In fact, Wu Haotian had seen Xiang Yu as soon as he arrived, but decided to trouble him a bit due to their mismatched attire.
“Xiang Yu!” Wu Haotian called out and walked over briskly.
The attendant, seeing that Xiang Yu was indeed a friend of Wu Haotian’s, nodded and walked away.
“Big brother, what is this place, and why did you call here?” Xiang Yu asked as he walked in.
By then, Xiang Yu and his two companions had attracted the attention of those around them.
Wu Haotian felt slightly embarrassed standing with Xiang Yu and quickly pulled him into a corner.
“Haven’t I reminded you about dressing up?
Why are you still wearing these clothes?” scolded Wu Haotian with a frown.
As Xiang Yu was about to speak, Wu Haotian quickly gestured with his hand, “Nevermind, just stand here and don’t move around.”
After speaking, Wu Haotian took a glass of wine and left.
“Boss Wu, who is that?
He seems quite familiar with you,” asked one of the young n.
“Oh, so brothers from the countryside.
I invited them here today to see the world,” Wu Haotian replied with a chuckle.
“No wonder,” the others nodded in understanding.
“Brother Yu, everyone here seems to be very wealthy,” said Tie Zhuzi.
At that mont, Xiang Yu and his companions were standing beside the buffet, eating, with Shi Jian even holding a bottle of wine.
“Don’t worry about them; we are wealthy too.
That dish is really good,” Xiang Yu said, pointing to a dish, and Tie Zhuzi and Shi Jian hurriedly devoured it.
By then, the surrounding people had noticed Xiang Yu and his group, so even showing looks of disdain.
Who are these three country bumpkins, dressed like that and eating as if they’d never seen food before?
Seeing this, Wu Haotian could only sigh silently, regretting inviting Xiang Yu.
He wished to intervene, but with everyone’s attention on Xiang Yu and his group, he couldn’t act rashly, as everyone would realize that he, Wu Haotian, had invited these country bumpkins.
Xiang Yu and his friends, oblivious to the others, continued to feast and chat as if they were at ho.
Just then, soone couldn’t stand it anymore and ca over.
The man was quite tall, with a beer belly and a chubby face.
“May I know how to address you gentlen?” the man asked politely, though his words carried a tone of disrespect, as if talking to Xiang Yu and his friends was beneath him.
Xiang Yu looked at the chubby man, simply nodded, and continued eating without speaking.
The chubby man’s self-esteem was wounded by Xiang Yu’s ignorance.
He had lowered his status to speak to them, and they didn’t even acknowledge him.
“Judging by your appearance, you must be owners of a big company.
I generally know all the reputable ones, but I’ve never seen you before,” the man said, losing his smile and looking at Xiang Yu and his friends with so hostility.
“Who are you to speak so impolitely?
Can’t you see I’m eating?” Xiang Yu frowned and retorted.
The man internally snorted, thinking to himself, Who am I?
If I told you, it would scare you to death.
But he had to pretend to be modest; revealing his identity too eagerly would seem unseemly.
Just then, Wu Haotian laughed and approached.
“Brother, you probably don’t know him yet.
Let introduce him.
This is Zhang Lei, a titan in the real estate industry.
He’s quite a remarkable figure.”
While Wu Haotian was praising Zhang Lei, his words were laced with sarcasm.
After all, Wu Haotian was also in real estate, and although the two appeared amiable on the surface, they were actually competitors.
Zhang Lei felt smug inside.
Although Wu Haotian was usually dismissive, he was showing discernnt now by stepping forward to introduce him.
He wondered how those country bumpkins would react upon hearing his na, whether they’d be so amazed they couldn’t speak…
