Chapter 986 - 985
Zhan Hongjun’s relationship with the Hao family was average. In the past, he didn’t think much of these business families, after all, they weren’t even publicly listed companies and were a bit unqualified.The Hao family knew this as well, so Hao Jiacheng was surprised by Zhan Hongjun’s arrival. This man was not just an ordinary second-generation official; he had significant connections and was someone many business people wanted to associate with.
Although surprised, there was also a sense of inevitability. Without saying anything else, just the cost of inviting a house full of Mystic Doctors would indicate how much money was being spent. This not only proved his strength but also showed that he had a certain amount of connections and means.
The biggest reason was that they had invited Beisitian, the leader of Qingyu, yesterday!
Who in Jiang City didn’t know about the frenzy of the three people, Zhan Hongjun included, trying to locate Qingyu’s people, even going to the extent of creating commotion daily at the Heavenly Blessing Hotel? Now they learned that Qingyu’s leader had been invited, they were bound to appear!
Hao Jiacheng felt surprised because he thought Zhan Hongjun should have come earlier. Arriving now did not fit his style. Even now, he was accompanied by the usual two young gentlemen.
As soon as Gu Haiqing walked in and saw Chu Fenglei, he squinted, "Why are you here?"
Everyone was astonished that the young gentleman next to Young Master Zhan actually knew the Mystic Doctor, and by the looks of it, seemed to be acquainted for some time.
Chu Fenglei looked at him coldly, "Consultation, rather than wandering around like you."
Gu Haiqing’s face sank.
Only then did Hao Jiacheng realize that the young gentleman next to Zhan Hongjun was actually a Mystic Doctor! True to Young Master Zhan’s style, having such a formidable person by his side was never even mentioned.
But what’s up with these two clashing the moment they meet...
Even though hearts were ablaze with gossiping curiosity, no one dared to ask about others’ private disputes, finding it too easy to get involved.
"Three of you please come in!" Hao Jiacheng quickly took over the conversation, as it was his house, it would not be good to have a fight.
Luo Yirui noticed Zhan Hongjun didn’t even glance at him and realized he had overthought, feeling relieved at heart.
In the Hao family, they wouldn’t stay long. Their aim was to enter the gathering area, those Mystic Doctors were extremely proud, and sometimes didn’t even respect the sons of high officials, so they had to roundaboutly find the Hao family.
"Thank you, Boss Hao, Zhan will remember this favor." Zhan Hongjun raised his eyebrows and said.
Luo Yirui had never seen Zhan Hongjun in such a superior demeanor, around his mom, he was always cheerful, without a trace of airs, it seems it all depended on the person’s identity and status.
He began to gradually understand the adult world.
The group soon set off, with Chu Fenglei and Gu Haiqing staying far from each other, looking as though avoiding each other forever was the best choice.
Although the Hao family had another child with them, Zhan Hongjun and the others didn’t even glance at him, their main target was Qingyu’s grand leader!
Thinking they finally found the person, all three were elated. No matter what, they were determined to meet them, with no interest in anything else.
The group of people, in five cars, soon arrived at a five-star hot spring center on the outskirts of Jiang City. The venue for the gathering was temporarily changed here because Beisitian was coming.
The Hot Spring Memories Center was completely booked by Zhang Taihe. Although it was just for an afternoon, the venue fee alone cost tens of thousands, not including food and drinks.
Everyone had arrived early, including Zhan Hongjun. Before Qingyu’s grand leader, he absolutely could not be presumptuous. Not only did she have connections in military, government, and business sectors, but also ones she could utilize. As a city committee secretary’s son, he was nothing before her.
He had a clear positioning, which was why Zhan Hongjun could have his current connections and influence, although he still needed his father’s shadow, it was much stronger than most second-generation officials. Even if his father fell, he wouldn’t be seriously harmed.
In the little time at the Hot Spring Memories Center, a good dozen luxury cars had already parked. There were those understated and luxurious, and those flamboyant and lavish, the hotel valets couldn’t keep up, so the car owners ended up parking themselves, not wanting to waste time.
The crowd entered the inner hall, the venue had long been set up, though not an evening affair, the tables around were equipped with self-service snacks, beverages, and drinks for guests to help themselves.
In this regard, despite tight timing, Zhang Taihe still put in considerable effort, after all, those coming had varied identities, with experts like the Heavenly Blessing, being too frugal would leave a bad impression on Qingyu’s grand leader, which would be foolish.
You never know if he might even make some connections here.
Once everyone had arrived, they exchanged pleasantries, waiting for the main guest to arrive.
Zhang Taihe maintained contact with the people at the door, and upon hearing about a black Jeep arriving, he knew it was Qingyu’s people.
Most knew that Qingyu’s black Jeeps were all fitted with bulletproof glass, and rumored to have other security measures unknown to outsiders. Although it might be the cheapest here, its safety was undoubtedly the highest.
Sometimes, driving a luxury car can symbolize one’s status, but if one’s status reaches a certain height, external objects become unnecessary to show off, rather, even the most modest of things, once used by them, can multiply in value.
No one looked down on this black Jeep, and as it slowly drove in, Zhang Taihe immediately led people out to greet it.
The guests naturally didn’t need to do this, and while Zhan Hongjun actually wanted to go meet them, he hesitated for his father’s reputation and refrained. In reality, not going to greet was not impolite, but Zhang Taihe was so obsequious, making everyone else seem less respectful of Qingyu’s grand leader.
Of course, there were some guests who wouldn’t hold back and went out too, some to greet, some to see what Qingyu’s grand leader looked like, and some purely to watch the spectacle.
The black Jeep drove up the steps, a young man got out from the driver’s seat and quickly went to open the rear door.
A woman stepped out of the black Jeep, wearing a subtle lotus-colored long dress, draping straight to the floor, with nothing particular about it, but Beisitian’s extraordinary aura gave the impression of an ethereal being.
This dress accentuated the whiteness and translucency of its wearer’s skin, making her look even more appealing.
Hao Jiacheng observed from behind the crowd, and at the first glance of Beisitian, he sincerely thought she was truly a beautiful woman. It’s not just about her appearance, but her aura was something most people lacked; all the stars and celebrities seemed dull before her.
Zhang Taihe rushed forward, also shocked by Beisitian’s youth, hearing about it was one thing, but seeing was another.
"I’ve long heard of Doctor Bei’s name, and finally seeing you today, it truly lives up to the reputation!" Zhang Taihe said with a smile.
