Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk! - Chapter 161
Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Personally Greeting
“Chen Ankang’s son, huh.” Wang Xiaocong took a look at Chen Guanglei and burst into laughter. “I heard that your dad was initially keen on the aluminum mine of Fengkai Mining, but after listening to your sweet talk, he invested in acquiring Jia Sheng Guild instead. As a result, someone else took over the mine and made a whopping 1.55 billion, while your dad became the laughingstock of the investment world, frequently ridiculed and even called a father-betrayed by his own son.”
Wang Xiaocong didn’t know Chen Guanglei was acquainted with Xu Yang, so he didn’t mention Xu Yang’s name.
This matter became hot gossip in the investment world, with Xu Yang regarded as a very insightful up-and-comer.
Any person in their right mind wouldn’t think Xu Yang made those billions by sheer luck.
They believed that Xu Yang must have conducted thorough investigations and meticulous analysis before taking over the mine.
In contrast, Chen Ankang had become a cautionary tale.
If it had been anyone else who said such things, Chen Guanglei would have definitely flipped out.
But when Wang Xiaocong said them, Chen Guanglei didn’t dare to lose his temper, and could only force an awkward smile, “Who would have thought that a mine written off by Fengkai Mining could still find so many aluminum resources? Luckily, my investment in Jia Sheng Guild also made a good profit.”
Wang Xiaocong nodded, “That’s true, I also had no intentions of investing when I saw the news, after all. If a professional company like Fengkai Mining had given up, who would still have the confidence to find aluminum? Perhaps this is the difference between us and them. They deserve to make money.”
Qin Feiyang then introduced, “Chen Guanglei, this is Young Master Jiang, and this is Young Master Su.”
Chen Guanglei hastily greeted them in an ingratiating manner, “Young Master Jiang, Young Master Su, nice to meet you.”
He had already heard of their identities from Qin Feiyang just a moment ago.
As for Jiang Yuheng, he knew a little about him since Jiang Yuheng was touted as the most outstanding rich second-generation in Jiang City. He had seen Jiang Yuheng from a distance before.
But regarding Su Wenbin, he was not so familiar, thankfully Qin Feiyang had filled him in.
Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin looked at Chen Guanglei with unfriendly eyes.
This hostility was even reflected on their facial expressions.
It was as if there was a deep conflict between Chen Guanglei and the two of them.
This left Chen Guanglei completely baffled.
He hadn’t had any interaction with these two men.
Why, when they saw him, did they look at him as if they had seen an enemy?
It was utterly incomprehensible to him.
“Young Master Wang, Young Master Jiang, Young Master Su, you guys go ahead and chat, we’ll be leaving first.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was unfriendly, Qin Feiyang greeted the three and then led his group away.
Once they were at a distance, Qin Feiyang asked, “Chen Guanglei, have you offended Young Master Jiang or Young Master Su?”
“Not at all.” Chen Guanglei felt quite dejected.
He simply could not recall when he had ever offended these two young masters.
It could be said that he hadn’t even had the chance to meet them, let alone offend them.
“No? Then what on earth is going on? They seem to have a grudge against you,” Qin Feiyang said with a furrowed brow.
“I really don’t know,” Chen Guanglei said with a bitter face.
He truly didn’t know. This kind of resentment, without knowing the cause, he couldn’t even begin to resolve it.
“Are you sure you don’t know? Or could it be that you’ve forgotten? Think carefully, have you offended them somewhere?” Qin Feiyang pressed.
“Young Master Qin, I really haven’t. I haven’t even had close contact with them. Today is the first time I appeared in front of them to greet them. I’m not stupid, how could I possibly offend them? To offend them would be seeking death, right?” Chen Guanglei said bitterly.
“That’s true, alright. I’ll find a time to ask them. But before I get it clear, you shouldn’t show your face around them; otherwise, it will only provoke their dislike,” Qin Feiyang warned.
“Young Master Qin, I understand.” Without Qin Feiyang’s admonition, Chen Guanglei already knew how to act.
Seeing the murderous look in Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin’s eyes, he was already panicking and frightened—how could he dare to show up in front of them again?
On Wang Xiaocong’s side.
Wang Xiaocong asked, “What’s with you two, do you have some history with this Chen Guanglei?”
Jiang Yuheng said, “We don’t have any history with him, but Xu Yang does.”
Wang Xiaocong was startled, “Let’s hear it, what happened?”
He genuinely didn’t know about this matter; he only had a rough understanding of Xu Yang, knowing that the Fengcai Guild and “river fishing” were Xu Yang’s and that Xu Yang had purchased an aluminum mine and made a profit of 1.55 billion, invested in Wu Jing’s “War Leopard,” making a fortune, and had a clash with Hua’an Film and Television.
As for other things, he really didn’t know.
“During last year’s Chinese New Year, this Chen Guanglei poached a female broadcaster from Xu Yang’s Fengcai Guild and instructed her to falsely accuse Xu Yang of breaking unspoken rules…” Jiang Yuheng briefly explained the incident.
In fact, there were other matters between Xu Yang and Chen Guanglei, including Chen Guanglei’s disrespectful comments towards Xu Yang at the Haicheng Jade Trading Center and the celebration party of “War Leopard,” acting like a clownish jack-in-the-box, jumping around in front of Xu Yang.
However, Jiang Yuheng was unaware of these incidents.
“I see, during last year’s New Year, I was abroad and didn’t follow domestic news. So quite a bit happened, there really is no need to show any courtesy to this Chen Guanglei. The guy is just trouble, flaunting his minor wealth everywhere, not worth treating as a friend,” Wang Xiaocong said.
“Indeed,” Jiang Yuheng nodded in agreement.
The group chatted for a while longer and, checking the time, felt Xu Yang should be arriving soon, so they got up to go out to meet him.
Wang Xiaocong needed to be attentive to the others, and turned to the crowd, “Everyone, please enjoy yourselves, I’m going to welcome someone at the entrance.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Who could it be that warranted all three of them to go out to welcome?
“Wang, are you going to welcome Yu Yan?” a wealthy and beautiful woman asked.
This wealthy beauty, named Meng Qingxue, was a close friend of Shen Yuyan. She had just called Shen Yuyan and knew about the car accident Shen was involved in and was now on her way in a different vehicle.
Moreover, it was about time to arrive.
Aside from Shen Yuyan being late due to the car accident, nearly everyone else had arrived.
“No, you guys go ahead and talk,” Wang Xiaocong shook his head and didn’t reveal whom he was going to meet, as he, Jiang Yuheng, and Su Wenbin went out.
“Man, who are Wang and the others actually going out to welcome?”
“I can’t figure out who could have such influence.”
“Couldn’t be an older, rich tycoon coming to the birthday party, could it?”
“No way, the guests today are all young people. Wang wouldn’t invite an older rich person, that would just dampen the spirits, wouldn’t it?”
“Could it be the child of some high-ranking official from within the country?”
“Possibly, otherwise why would the three of them condescend to greet the guest.”
“Let’s go, let’s go out and see, we’ll find out who it is soon enough.”
The crowd was buzzing with speculation and followed suit heading outside.
Zhao Yulu and Chen Guanglei were also very curious about who the three were going out to welcome.
The three were already among the top rich second-generation elites, and ordinary wealthy offspring would unlikely necessitate such attention from them.
Could it really be, as some people guessed, a high-ranking official’s son or daughter?
But upon reflection, it seemed improbable.
Children of such figures were unlikely to appear at Wang Xiaocong’s birthday gatherings.
That would be too ostentatious, not in line with the profiles of those official’s offspring.
If it got out, it would be a big problem for those individuals.
Arriving at the entrance, before long, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan slowly drew up and stopped at the doorway.
“Could this be the person Wang is about to welcome?”
“It must be, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan is befitting in stature.”
“Are we finally going to see the true face of Lu Mountain?”
The crowd buzzed with talk, their eyes glued to the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, eager to glimpse the arrival first-hand.
