"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I'm Xu Linwei from the Jiangning Xu Group. It's a pleasure to meet you. Would you mind having a meal with me sometime?"
Xu Linwei said very politely.
Xiao Siyuan glanced at Xu Linwei and smiled slightly.
"You must be Mr. Xu. My apologies for not recognizing you. I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy lately. Let's schedule another time."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Mr. Xiao..."
Xu Linwei was about to try to persuade him to stay when Chen Yi stopped her.
He said, "Wife, no need. He'll come back and beg us."
Xiao Siyuan heard Chen Yi's words, turned around, looked at Chen Yi, and gave a slight cold smile.
"This gentleman seems very confident. I, Xiao Siyuan, have never asked anyone for help in my entire life."
Chen Yi smiled slightly: "Mr. Xiao, there is a sick person in your family. It should be your son. He fell ill within the last half month."
"You...you investigated me!"
Xiao Siyuan's expression changed slightly.
"Does not exist."
Chen Yi calmly said, "President Xiao's eyes are dark and bluish, which is the palace of children. There will definitely be an illness or calamity for his children within half a month."
Xiao Siyuan scrutinized Chen Yi closely, his eyes becoming wary.
"So what? What do I have to ask of you?"
Chen Yi said, "I am a specially appointed expert in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Jiangning City Hospital. Mr. Xiao can contact me if needed."
"Oh!"
Xiao Siyuan sneered, "A mere local TCM expert shouldn't be so arrogant."
"That's all I have to say, Mr. Xiao. Hope we meet again someday."
Chen Yi smiled faintly.
He turned to Xu Linwei and said, "Wife, let's go."
The two turned and left, Xiao Siyuan's eyes blazing with anger as he watched Chen Yi's retreating figure.
This kid dares to investigate my family affairs and wants me to cooperate with him? Dream on!
He still believes that Chen Yi was investigating him, which is why he knew his son was sick.
The person investigating behind the scenes was a huge offense, and Xiao Siyuan was extremely annoyed with that kid.
On the other side, Chen Yi and his companion met up with Lu Jie.
Xu Linwei asked, "Honey, is Mr. Xiao's son really seriously ill?"
"Um."
Chen Yi nodded. "He'll be begging us soon, so you don't need to worry."
Xu Linwei felt a little more at ease upon hearing this.
"Miss Wan has arrived!"
Just then, someone suddenly shouted.
Thousands of eyes turned to the entrance.
But then they saw a woman in her early thirties, wearing a long red dress and with her hair styled in a high bun.
Tall and slender, with a cold and aloof face, towering like Mount Everest, and walking with a firm and resolute gait.
A young man followed closely behind her, with eyes like a hawk and eyebrows as sharp as a knife.
Chen Yi stared intently and was astonished to see that it was a Grandmaster at the peak!
Lu Jie leaned closer to Chen Yi and said, "This is Wan Zitong, the eldest daughter of the Wan family. What do you think? Pretty cool and domineering, right?"
"It's alright, I guess." Chen Yi smiled slightly.
"Miss Wan!"
"Miss Wan!"
……
Everyone stepped forward to greet them.
Wan Zitong nodded slightly, but his feet did not stop for a moment.
Just then, a man jogged over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Wan Zitong's expression turned even colder after hearing this, and she looked towards Chen Yi.
Lu Jie was immediately startled.
"Why is she looking at me? I have no relationship with her."
"Is it possible that she's looking at me?"
Chen Yi said coldly.
Uh!
Lu Jie was immediately speechless.
But then Wan Zitong and her entourage walked quickly over and stood right in front of Chen Yi.
"You must be Chen Yi! I've heard so much about you!"
Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly.
"Miss Wan, is there something you need?"
Wan Zitong's expression turned slightly cold:
"Mr. Chen, you haven't forgotten about my brother Wan Zilin's matter so quickly, have you?"
"No, I've always had a good memory, so what do you think?"
Chen Yi's expression was disdainful.
A hint of anger flashed in Wan Zitong's eyes.
"It's good that Mr. Chen remembers, as my memory is also very good. It's a pleasure to meet you in Beijing today. I heard that Mr. Chen wants to expand his market in Beijing, and I welcome you."
Thanks.
Chen Yi's nonchalant attitude only fueled Wan Zitong's anger.
"Mr. Chen, you are unaware of the Wan family's standing in Beijing's business world. You will not be allowed to intrude on my territory!"
Chen Yi sneered: "Then what if I insist on barging in?"
"That depends on how tough you are. If you try to force your way in, you might get snapped in two!"
Wan Zitong made a harsh statement.
The young man behind her stepped out.
"Young Master Chen, I am Yan Wuhen of the Yan family of Yanshan. Young Master Chen, you are quite famous among the eight great families."
Yan Wuhen of Yanshan is a member of an ancient martial arts family.
Chen Yi looked at Yan Wuhen,
No wonder he has reached the peak of the Grandmaster level at such a young age.
He killed so many people from the ancient martial arts families; it seems they remember him.
Chen Yi said calmly, "I've never liked to show off, but some people always like to act arrogantly in front of me, so I can't keep a low profile even if I want to."
"Young Master Chen has a strong personality; I hope you can always maintain that."
A hint of disgust flashed in Yan Wuhen's eyes.
Then, the group turned and left.
Because the Wan family's entourage separated them, everyone only saw Chen Yi and Wan Zitong talking for a while, but no one knew what they talked about.
No one present knew about the feud between Chen Yi and the Wan family.
Lu Jie looked worried: "Brother Yi, this Wan Zitong is not easy to deal with. Be careful."
"It's alright, if she dares to show herself, just wipe her out!"
Chen Yi said casually, his expression indifferent.
Lu Jie was surprised.
Just how powerful is Brother Yi that he looks down on the mighty Wan family?
"Young Master Chen!"
Just then, a voice called out.
Chen Yi turned his head and saw a young man and a young woman walking over.
It was Ye Cheng and Ye Shuang, a brother and sister.
"Sister Wei, you've finally come to Beijing!"
Ye Shuang's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran up to Xu Linwei, pulling her along with great joy.
"Young Master Ye, you're here too." Chen Yi greeted him with a smile.
I introduced myself to Lu Jie.
Ye Cheng quickly clasped his hands in greeting: "You must be the young master of the Lu family. I've heard so much about you."
Lu Jie had only been back in Beijing for a few months, and many people only knew his name but not his face.
He knew this Young Master Ye; he was the eldest son of the Ye family, one of the three major martial arts families in Beijing, alongside the Wan family.
"Young Master Ye, I have long admired your name!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Cheng asked, "Does Young Master Chen know Miss Wan?"
Chen Yi told him about Wan Zilin's matter.
Ye Cheng's expression darkened, and he said:
"Recently, the Wan family and the Yan family of Yanshan have formed a marriage alliance. Did you see that young man? Yan Wuhen, the son of the Yan family patriarch, is Wan Zitong's fiancé."
The Wan family has the support of ancient martial arts clans, and their strength should not be underestimated. Young Master Chen must not be careless.
"An ancient martial arts family?"
Chen Yi sneered, "I've wanted to pay a visit for a long time, and this might just be a good opportunity."
Ye Cheng was extremely shocked by Chen Yi's reaction.
This young master Chen doesn't even respect ancient martial arts families. Is he arrogant or confident?
He continued, "Is this your first time attending a charity gala, Young Master Chen? There will be an auction later. If you can win the bid, it will greatly help you establish yourself in Beijing."
An auction?
What auctioned off would be extremely helpful in establishing a foothold in Beijing?
Chen Yi was puzzled.
"What's being auctioned?" he asked.
Ye Cheng said, "This auction is different from other auctions. The companies themselves put up their treasures for auction, and all the proceeds are donated to charity projects."
The person who contributes the highest amount will be appointed as the honorary president of this chamber of commerce.
It turned out to be the case.
Chen Yi nodded.
Having received the title of honorary president, one's level of trust naturally increases dramatically when going out to conduct business.
This is indeed a good thing.
Xu Linwei frowned immediately.
"Honey, we didn't bring anything. We should have brought a precious item with us."
"Don't worry, no one can compare to our treasures," Chen Yi said confidently, holding her hand.
