First Uncle approached him with a stunned expression.
“President Qi, why are you bowing to him? You are the president of Qi Technologies, he’s just a lowly dog! Aren’t you lowering your own status by bowing to greet a dog like him?”
President Qi’s face twitched. He looked at First Uncle as if he were looking at a lunatic.
You dare call Xiao Chen a dog? Are you trying to die? Don’t take me with you!
Thinking of this, President Qi immediately frowned and coughed lightly, scrunching his face.
“Mr. Xiao, do not speak nonsense. Mr. Xiao is a special figure to the Qi family! If you have any other disrespectful things to say, I will rip out your tongue!”
First Uncle’s face was even more confused now. He began to worry.
“President Qi, are you sick? He’s nothing but a small pest, how could he be special to your family? What is he compared to you? What is he…”
Before he could finish, President Qi came forward with a slap.
“Shut up!”
This slap was enough to silence First Uncle.
Before he could ask, President Qi had already turned to Xiao Chen with a pale expression, bowing once again.
“Mr. Xiao, I’ve only done business once with this lunatic here! Before I go back, I will immediately terminate our contract. We are not close, please do not blame this on me, Mr. Xiao!”
First Uncle was stunned. Not only him, but Third Uncle, First Madam Xiao, Third Auntie, and all their children were stunned as well!
What’s going on? That’s President Qi over there! The Qi organization’s president had a networth of over twelve billion! But in front of Xiao Chen, he was nothing but a cowardly dog!
Xiao Chen calmly began to speak.
“No worries. I know right from wrong.”
President Qi was relieved as he wicked the sweat from his forehead.
“Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your understanding.”
Afterward, he raised his head and stared at First Uncle.
“Xiao, the collaboration between our companies will end here. From now on, I won’t be joining you on anything.”
First Uncle clenched his fists.
“You’re going to break off relations with me because of him?”
“That’s right!”
President Qi’s attitude was firm and almost made First Uncle explode with anger.
“Good. Good! These are your words. You think I care about you breaking our contact? Hmph!”
Afterwards, a Bentley Mulsanne pulled into the village. After seeing the license plate, First Uncle’s mood brightened.
“It’s President Jiang from the Jiang Corporation! That’s a wealthy mogul with a net worth of over forty billion. Xiao Chen, even if you have that Qi guy supporting you, it means nothing. You… You’re still no match for me!”
After his words fell, he quickly approached to receive President Jiang.
President Jiang was a tall and slim man, aged sixty or so with mostly white hair. Because of his status, there was a hint of seriousness wedged between his eyebrows.
“Ah! President Jiang, you’ve arrived after our prayers. Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to attend my father’s eightieth birthday!”
President Jiang frowned. He did not shake hands with First Uncle and searched among the crowd until he saw Xiao Chen. He immediately headed over.
“Mr. Xiao, my apologies, I’m late!”
When he reached Xiao Chen, he bowed deeply just like President Qi had.
This time, the entire village quieted down. Their expressions were frozen.
If one wealthy man bowed to Xiao Chen, it didn’t mean much; the audience was only momentarily shocked at most.
But if two wealthy men bowed to Xiao Chen; it meant something completely different!
Xiao Chen’s lips formed into a smile as he calmly turned to First Uncle.
“Uncle, why are you so attentive? If you want to get close to them, just wait for them to come over!”
This blatant remark made First Uncle Xiao’s face turn pale.
“Xiao Chen! Don’t be too smug! I don’t know what methods you used to fool Qi and Jiang over there into treating you like so! But it’s not over yet. Who is the victor and who is the loser hasn’t been decided yet.”
Xiao Chen did not respond and only looked at him with a smug smile. Following after, a few more luxury vehicles pulled into the village.
“Chen Shijun, from Chen Technologies is here to wish Grandfather Xiao a happy birthday. Wishing you all the blessings from the east seas and longevity like the southern mountains!”
…
“Yang Caili of the Jiangbei Yurun Organization, here to celebrate Grandfather Xiao’s day of birth.”
…
“Zhou Ming of the Zhou Organization in Jiangbei wishes Grandfather Xiao a happy eightieth birthday. May you live in happiness and prosperity!”
…
One after the other, several of Jiangbei’s most notable elites stepped up to give Grandpa Xiao their blessings. The first thing they all did after greeting the old man was step up to Xiao Chen and bow to him in greeting.
But this wasn’t the end; it was just the beginning!
Soon, more and more wealthy elites began to flow in.
Those familiar with Jiangbei’s top elites knew that they were almost all present!
This lineup was shock-inducing, not only to First Uncle and his family but also to the villagers present and Grandpa Xiao as well!
In the end, Grandpa Xiao turned to Xiao Chen, trembling.
“Little Chen… This… Are they all invited by you?”
Xiao Chen smiled calmly.
“Of course! Don’t get anxious grandpa, there are more to come.”
“M-more?”
Grandpa Chen’s face twitched fiercely.
In such a short time, more than a hundred wealthy elites from Jiangbei had shown up. You could say this was over half of Jiangbei’s entire upper class society!
But this wasn’t the end.
My god. Did Xiao Chen manage to bring the entire upper class society of Jiangbei here?
First Uncle and Third Uncle started to panic.
Third Uncle particularly could feel the sweat on his back and face.
He wiped away the cold sweat and gulped. Trembling, he asked:
“B…Big Brother, how does he know so many wealthy elites from Jiangbei?”
First Uncle was stunned as well.
“Shut up! How should I know? This kid is cursed. Five years ago, he had his limbs broken and was tossed into the Yangtze. How could he have possibly lived? Now, he’s not only still alive, but he’s recovered as well. And he’s able to call on all the wealthy elites of Jiangbei! Is this kid a human or a monster?”
First Madam Xiao spoke fiercely through her gritted yellow teeth.
“Afraid of him? So what if all these wealthy elites listen to him. We still have the Lu family backing us! One Lu family is enough to wipe away these idiots easily!”
Third Auntie nodded in agreement.
“That’s right! These guys are no match for the Lu family.”
Before she could speak, two Rolls-Royces pulled into the driveway, one after the other.
First Uncle and Third Uncle glanced at the license plates and began to tremble, almost fainting in fear.
“Elder Chen from the Chen family?”
“And… Elder Physician Tang from the Tang Corporation?”
“My god, are these people all crazy?”
