Chapter 19: Arrogance
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chu Xiu looked at the center of the hall. There were a few round tables there.
In the period after the apocalypse, he had carefully inquired about the location of the spirit origin pearl.
One would appear in the room he had ordered, and the other in the toilet on the fourth floor.
Another one would appear under a table in the hall.
However, he only knew that the one in the hall had appeared under a table, and not which table it was.
Because a long time had passed at that time, there had been no way to speculate.
However, now that he had been reborn, Chu Xiu could use the current information to speculate.
It was said that the first spirit origin pearl had been discovered by the eldest son of the Ye Family.
At this moment, the other party was talking to some people. At the same time, he was leaning against the table by the window.
However, Chu Xiu did not think that the other party had discovered it at any table.
He guessed that the other party might have discovered it under the table near the center.
‘If the information I received before my rebirth is correct, then there won’t be many locations that it can appear.
‘As long as I find an opportunity, I can snatch it directly!’
Chu Xiu quickly made a decision in his heart, and quietly waited for an opportunity to appear.
“Yo, isn’t this Chu Xiu? I didn’t expect you to come here to attend the banquet.”
A familiar voice with a strange tone sounded.
Hearing the voice, Chu Xiu turned around, and saw Chu Xinghe in a suit walking over.
The other party seemed to have put in a lot of effort for today. Even his hairstyle was slicked back.
Beside him were a few lackeys.
When Chu Xinghe saw Chu Xiu, a mocking expression flashed across his eyes.
During this period of time, he had been in the limelight.
Ever since he and his father obtained the shares in Chu Xiu’s hands, the level they were at immediately rose!
Even his right to speak had become stronger. He could do whatever he wanted in the company.
Over the past few days, countless people had curried favor with him, making him satisfied.
Even the invitation to this banquet would not be issued to him under normal circumstances.
The normal banquet notice had already been distributed.
However, three days before the banquet, they also received an invitation to the banquet.
This was enough to show that they had already squeezed into the upper class of West Rainbow City!
Seeing Chu Xinghe’s smug and arrogant look, Chu Xiu did not feel that there was a problem.
Chu Xiu knew this person very well. Chu Xinghe was just a despicable person.
If Chu Xiu were to pay attention to him, the other party would be even more smug.
Seeing that Chu Xiu was ignoring him, Chu Xinghe felt offended.
One had to know that other than money, Chu Xiu had nothing in his hands.
What right did he have to ignore him like this?
Didn’t he know that his status had changed?
“Hey, isn’t this Chairman Chu? Why aren’t you interacting with us old friends?”
At this moment, a short and fat middle-aged man walked over quickly.
He was the one who spoke loudly to Chu Xiu. When Chu Xinghe heard this, he immediately felt angry.
Chu Xiu didn’t even blink when he saw the person. He knew that the other party didn’t have good intentions.
One had to know that his company had not started steadily.
Instead, he relied on the trends to fight step by step and trample on countless people to get up.
This led to him being an anomaly in the upper echelons of West Rainbow City.
And the short and fat man who greeted him was not his friend. He could be said to be a competitor.
Chu Xiu knew at a glance why the other party came to greet him.
The other party was here for Chu Xinghe. He was just holding back for now.
As expected, after the short and fat man walked over, he suddenly thought of something.
He slapped his head, and said loudly, “Aiya, how could I have forgotten? The current Director Chu of the Dragon Cauldron Group is this person.”
With that said, the short and fat man hurriedly came to Chu Xinghe’s side, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Chairman Chu. I mistook someone else for you. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault.”
Hearing the short and fat man’s words, Chu Xinghe’s expression improved a little, but he was also dissatisfied.
Upon seeing this, a trace of mockery flashed in the fat man’s eyes. Then, he said sincerely, “Chairman Chu, hello. I’m the director of Dingmao Group1, Zhang Lizheng. I’ve offended you previously.”
After Chu Xinghe heard the fat man’s introduction, his expression changed because he had heard the other party’s name before.
The other party’s identity could be said to be the same as Chu Xiu’s. They were both leaders of a corporation.
Moreover, the other party was a director of a local corporation, which was completely different from their Chu Family.
“No, no. It’s understandable that Chairman Zhang recognized the wrong person because he was indeed the previous chairman.
“But it’s different now. My father and I are in charge of the company now.”
When Chu Xinghe said this, his face was already filled with smugness.
“Yo, Director Chu is so young, but he’s already in a high position. He’s simply talented!”
Zhang Lizheng kept praising Chu Xinghe with an exaggerated expression.
At the same time, he used those words to mock Chu Xiu. The entire scene was very happy.
Chu Xiu saw that other than Zhang Lizheng and Chu Xinghe, there were also some people around.
When these people saw this scene, a portion of them laughed.
There were also some people who looked over coldly and mockingly.
No one stood up for Chu Xiu.
‘Tsk, tsk, it looks like I lived a miserable life a few years ago, before the apocalypse. As soon as there are no benefits to associating with me, suddenly everyone left,’ Chu Xiu praised his pitiful popularity inwardly. It was not like he had not attended banquets in the past.
At that time, every time he had appeared, he had been surrounded by people.
All of them had had friendly smiles on their faces, and their words had been pleasant and moving.
They had wished they could have had a lifelong relationship with Chu Xiu.
But now, after knowing that Chu Xiu no longer had any shares in the Dragon Cauldron Group, the people who had surrounded him previously all left one by one.
There were even a few who had shouted the loudest previously among those that turned around and started to suck up to Chu Xinghe.
Furthermore, all of them could not wait to leave a good impression in front of Chu Xinghe.
Now, they were even belittling Chu Xiu crazily, even though he was beside them.
It could even be said that it was precisely because Chu Xiu was beside them that they belittled him even more.
Chu Xiu was not angry with these people’s crazy behavior.
It had to be known that they were all doing this for money. The unforeseen event in a while would make them crazy.
Chu Xiu only had one goal here, and that was to snatch the spirit origin pearl!
As for Chu Xinghe and the others, when they saw the indifferent expression on Chu Xiu’s face, they immediately felt as if they punched air.
Chu Xinghe saw that Chu Xiu did not care at all.
In fact, he seemed pretty carefree instead.
At this moment, Zhang Zhisheng rolled his eyes and had an idea.
He whispered in Chu Xinghe’s ear, and Chu Xinghe’s eyes immediately lit up.
It was obvious that the other party had a new idea.
