Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Greeting Personally_1

“Tsk, tsk!”

“Old Song, your blade hasn’t dulled a bit!”

“It’s indeed the same old Song.”

Zhou Xian and the others laughed as they commented.

“Two pieces of trash, a total embarrassment.”

The middle-aged man cursed inwardly, his face contorted distastefully. Seeing Song Qingshan’s unfriendly gaze come his way, he gritted his teeth, put on a forced smile, and pulled a business card from the glamorous woman’s expensive purse, saying with a smile:

“Brother, you’re formidable, clearly a master. They say people aim high and water flows low; with your skills so strong, you must be lacking a good place to use them. Why not work for me? I guarantee you’ll live a hundred times better than you do now, never short of cars, houses, or cash!”

Song Qingshan snorted contemptuously and bluntly said to the middle-aged man, “Go to hell—scram!”

“Heh heh, quite the temper!”

It was unclear whether the middle-aged man was mocking or praising, but he still said with a smile, “Bro, to put it bluntly, no matter how good your kung fu is in modern society, what does it amount to? You still need food, clothing, housing, and transportation. In this day and age, no one complains about having too much money. I, Li Yecai, don’t have significant abilities, but I’ve made a name for myself in Zhonghai. Guaranteeing you a life filled with delicacies and fine drinks isn’t a problem.”

“Don’t overestimate yourself. My boss is much stronger than you,” Song Qingshan said, his gaze turning towards Xu Fan on the steps.

“You have a boss already?” Li Yecai was taken aback, followed Song Qingshan’s gaze, and turned to look. He spotted Xu Fan almost immediately, his brows furrowing slightly, somewhat doubting Song Qingshan’s words.

He couldn’t help it; he always judged people by their dress. Xu Fan was clothed from head to toe in street market goods, and his face was unfamiliar, not looking like someone with money.

Li Yecai immediately felt emboldened and couldn’t help but show his palm arrogantly as he said, “Your boss looks like a construction contractor. How much can you make a month working for him carrying bricks? I can offer you fifty thousand. And him?”

Song Qingshan shook his head dismissively.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Seeing him, Li Yecai trembled, tore away the hand of the woman clinging to him, and ran up the steps to pay his respects.

Li Yecai was nearly fifty years old, but in front of the barely thirty Gu Chengyuan, he had to obsequiously call out “San Ye,” highlighting the huge gap in their statuses.

Gu Chengyuan glanced at Li Yecai and didn’t bother with him; instead, he walked straight up to Xu Fan, laughed heartily, and said, “The boss called me, and the banquet is all set up. Shall we go up now?”

Xu Fan smiled and nodded, then walked side by side with Gu Chengyuan into the hotel. His bodyguard also warmly invited Bull Demon, Zhou Xian, and the others inside.

After a while, everyone had entered the Jun Tian Grand Hotel, leaving only Li Yecai standing there dazed, his face full of annoyance and regret.

He took a sharp breath of cold air, his face pale, a trembling hand holding his phone to dial that number again. As soon as the call connected, Ah Biao’s excited voice came through, “Brother Li, we’re about to get in the car, we’ll be there in twenty minutes. Don’t worry, I’ve called over fifty guys, all skilled...”

Li Yecai interrupted him with gritted teeth, “Don’t... don’t come, I can’t afford to mess with this guy!”

“What? I’ve already called everyone.”

“No need to come, I’ll transfer the money to you later.” Li Yecai hurriedly finished speaking and then hung up.

He walked down the steps like a lost soul, and the coquettishly dressed woman ran over with a flattering smile, trying to clasp his arm. He slapped her away, furious, and snapped, “Get the hell away from me, you troublemaker!”

Having said that, he walked quickly to his car and called his assistant on the way to prepare a generous gift to be sent to the Jun Tian Grand Hotel immediately.

He was now deeply uneasy, his heart pounding. Could someone who received a warm welcome from Gu Chengyuan possibly be ordinary? The person’s influence could probably crush a hundred like him. Without showing humility and apologizing, he was sure to face unbearable consequences later.

Inside the Jun Tian Grand Hotel, Gu Chengyuan led Xu Fan and the others to a prestigious large private room with two big round tables set with exquisite tableware, where appetizers and drinks were already prepared, and four beautiful waitresses in stunning cheongsams were waiting.

Gu Chengyuan was very gracious, warmly inviting everyone to take their seats. He then instructed the waitstaff to serve the food and poured himself a drink as a self-imposed penalty, apologized, and then left the room.

Xu Fan and the group had gathered for a meal and possibly to discuss matters; it wasn’t appropriate for him to stay.

As soon as he left the room, Gu Chengyuan’s expression turned somber. He waved his bodyguard over and said, “Li Laoda is blind to who he’s dealing with and has offended Younger Brother Xu. Teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he’ll eventually die because of this kind of thing.”

“Yes.” The bodyguard immediately left to carry out the order.
