Chapter 6 Bumped into a Familiar Face

  • At the same time, inside the most luxurious box of the villa, a middle-aged man with arched eyebrows and superior presence was having a social meeting with a group of well-known people.
  • He was none other than Li Zhenguo, the General Manager of the Jin Ling Commercial Street, who was also a rich tycoon in Jin Ling.
  • A weird thing happened that made everyone confused.
  • General Manager Li went out for a phone call and all of a sudden his hair stood up. He then dashed out of the box wildly.
  • “What is going on with General Manager Li?”
  • Everyone was clueless.
  • In the meantime, Li Shangtian saw Chen Hao entering the front lobby. He could not help but step forward to assist Zheng Yue in resolving the matter.
  • “Miss Zheng Yue, just call for the guards. There is no other way to settle issues with a barbarian!”
  • Li Shangtian gave a cold smile.
  • Zheng Yue nodded and a few guys came rushing over to surround Chen Hao.
  • “Stop right there!!!”
  • At this moment, Li Zhenguo had rushed to the reception lobby as quickly as he could.
  • The roar from him shocked everyone in the vicinity!
  • “General Manager Li?”
  • Zheng Yue and the others were quick to stand respectfully in front of him.
  • Li Shangtian also respectfully said, “Hi Mr. Li, I am Li Shangtian and my dad is Li Jian. You met me previously at the business banquet…”
  • Li Shangtian approached him hurriedly to greet him.
  • To his surprise, Li Zhenguo did not even cast him a glance.
  • General Manager Li walked toward Chen Hao and stopped in front of him.
  • He even pushed Zheng Yue and the others out of the way rudely.
  • “Are you Chen Hao?”
  • Li Zhenguo asked respectfully.
  • Chen Hao nodded. “Yes, I am.”
  • “How is CEO Chen Xiao related to you?”
  • “She is my sister!” Chen Hao replied.
  • Li Zhenguo immediately stooped over and bowed to Chen Hao.
  • “Hello, Young Master Chen! I am Li Zhenguo!”
  • ???
  • Everyone was bewildered.
  • Zheng Yue was also confused.
  • This scene completely stunned Zheng Yue and the rest of them.
  • Li Shangtian’s eyelid even twitched.
  • General Manager Li actually bowed to this bumpkin?
  • Who is he?
  • Chen Hao was also dazed. He knew that his sister was the CEO of this commercial street. However, he did not expect his sister to have such reputation to the extent that the General Manager would treat him this way.
  • To be honest, Chen Hao was still not used to being a wealthy person of a rich family!
  • Furthermore, it was unbelievable that the entire stretch of the commercial street was owned by his family.
  • Chen Hao lightly coughed. He then politely said, “General Manager Li, my sister asked me to come over and sign something!”
  • “Young Master Chen, it is a renewal contract. The entire commercial street including this villa is owned by you and the CEO. Half of them are under the CEO’s name and the other half is under yours! I have always wanted to pay you a visit, but the CEO did not allow me to!”
  • Li Zhenguo wiped off the sweat on his forehead.
  • He was thrilled after Chen Hao responded so politely.
  • On the other hand, Zheng Yue, Li Shangtian and the others were completely dumbfounded.
  • What!
  • This entire stretch of the commercial street was owned by his family?
  • This poor dude was the actual CEO of the businesses?
  • Li Zhenguo snorted. “Who was the one that stopped Young Master Chen from entering?”
  • Li Zhenguo turned his head around and glanced coldly at the group of people in the reception lobby.
  • CEO Chen Xiao’s identity was extremely special. The reason Li Zhenguo got to where he was today was due to Chen Xiao promoting him.
  • The second CEO had arrived and he couldn’t believe that he was nearly chased out!
  • If CEO Chen Xiao found out about this, then wouldn't I be fired and thrown back to where I was before?
  • Zheng Yue’s face turned red and she quickly kept her head low, not daring to speak.
  • Li Shangtian, who was standing next to her, questioned, “Mr. Li, are you sure about this? This poor dude is the owner of the commercial street?”
  • A loud slap could be heard.
  • Upon hearing those words, Li Zhenguo slapped Li Shangtian. “You bastard, what did you just say?”
  • “Mr. Li, I did not say anything…”
  • After getting slapped, Li Shangtian covered his mouth and felt wronged.
  • However, as rich as his family might be, it was nothing compared to Li Zhenguo.
  • “Guards, throw this guy out of here!” Li Zhenguo ordered the group of security guards.
  • “Yes, sir!”
  • The group of guards came up and surrounded Li Shangtian and the female celebrity. They then shoved and chased the both of them out.
  • I feel so ashamed! What happened today was just too embarrassing!
  • Chen Hao looked on and did not stop the guards.
  • He did not expect Li Zhenguo, who looked honest and considerate, to have such a strong character.
  • If only I could be this domineering someday in the future! Chen Hao sighed.
  • He followed Li Zhenguo into the villa.
  • Li Zhenguo introduced himself.
  • Chen Hao learnt that back then, Li Zhenguo and his wife were just selling buns in a small shop.
  • His sister, Chen Xiao, was also raised in a poor household back then.
  • His sister was so poor that she almost had to resort to begging for food. It was Li Zhenguo and his wife that gave his sister a job.
  • After her sister climbed out of poverty, she managed to collect assets and continued to grow them. That was when Li Zhenguo was promoted and got to where he was today.
  • No wonder Li Zhenguo was so respectful toward his family!
  • Next, Chen Hao proceeded to sign the documents. As mentioned by his sister, most of the shops in Jin Ling Commercial Street were registered under his name.
  • It would not be wrong to claim that he was the owner of Jin Ling Commercial Street.
  • Chen Hao would never have dreamt that he could be this powerful!
  • After that, Li Zhenguo prepared a banquet specifically for Chen Hao.
  • Chen Hao had not had anything to eat from the morning, at Ma Xiaonan’s party and up till now. He was in fact famished.
  • As he was finishing up his meal, Li Zhenguo smiled. “Young Master Chen, when you are done with your meal, you can take a look and visit all your different businesses around here. That was what CEO Chen Xiao instructed me to do. This is to enable you to familiarize yourself with the businesses within your family. That way, you would be able to get rid of the habits from being raised in a poor environment!”
  • As he said that, a quick idea flashed through his mind.
  • “Young Master Chen, excuse me for a minute!”
  • He then walked out and made a phone call. He merely said, “All of you, come up!”
  • Then he sensibly left and walked downstairs.
  • Chen Xiao had no idea what General Manager Li was up to. Being famished, he gobbled down the big Australian Abalone down as an appetizer.
  • Just as he was enjoying his meal, the door of his private room suddenly opened.
  • Then, Chen Hao saw five to six girls walking in.
  • They turned out to be Zheng Yue and the other beautiful receptionists.
  • This time around, they looked at Chen Hao differently.
  • Zheng Yue smiled seductively. “Young Master Chen, I apologize for my actions just now!”
  • “Young Master Chen, I am sorry!” The other receptionists were also perturbed and they apologized as well.
  • “What are you all doing?”
  • Chen Hao wiped his mouth clean.
  • To be honest, even though they looked at him with disdain at the reception lobby, Chen Hao had no intentions of taking revenge.
  • He just wanted to resolve the issues for his sister as soon as possible.
  • Then he could leave.
  • By the looks of it, Li Zhenguo must have reprimanded them just now.
  • “The six of us are here to specifically accompany Young Master Chen. As long as you accept our apology, we would do anything to please you…” Zheng Yue said charmingly.
  • Being the receptionists at Hot Spring Villa, they all had one ultimate motive which was to date a rich young master. That way, they could get married into a wealthy family.
  • General Manager Li had intentionally arranged for them to come up and apologize. But even if he didn’t, Zheng Yue and the others could not wait to barge in.
  • What did it mean to be rich?
  • This young person in front of their eyes was a young master! An extremely wealthy young master!
  • After understanding their intentions, Chen Hao was shocked.
  • Damn, six of them?
  • That would be too...
  • Chen Hao was zoning out.
  • A ringtone could be heard.
  • Just as Chen Hao was coming up with a reason to chase them away, his phone rang.
  • It was from his sister.
  • Chen Hao calmed down and said, “Ladies, I need to make a move first!”
  • Then, Chen Hao rushed out.
  • It turned out that his sister wanted to check in with him about the status of the contract. She also informed Chen Hao to get rid of the habits from being raised in a poor manner as soon as possible.
  • In general, she talked about a bunch of things.
  • After he hung up, Chen Hao smiled bitterly as he thought about the scenario just now.
  • Chen Hao was already twenty two and yet he was still a virgin. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted by the girls.
  • Although he used to date Yang Xia and he really loved her back then, he was also respectful toward her and they had no physical intimacy.
  • As he thought of Yang Xia, he winced as his heart was in pain.
  • If Yang Xia knew that he was rich, would she change her mind?
  • Chen Hao sighed.
  • He recalled the various memories he had while he was with Yang Xia. They held hands in the canteen, the library, the park and many other places. They hung out and joked around at all these places.
  • Chen Hao’s rising temptation cooled down. I cannot lose my virginity just like that, could I?
  • Chen Hao decided to leave the villa. He called Li Zhenguo and told him that he was going to take a walk.
  • After he left the villa, he walked to Jin Ling Commercial Street.
  • The people that came and went were all young people or bosses that were dressed up well.
  • Chen Hao, you cannot feel inferior! You own this commercial street!
  • Chen Hao reminded himself.
  • At this moment, he heard a voice that called out his name. “Chen Hao!”
  • Chen Hao turned around and saw a karaoke bar named 'Imperial'. In front of the entrance were Ma Xiaonan, Zhao Yifan and the rest of the group.
  • Xu Nan and the rest of his dormitory mates were also there.
  • “Chen Hao, it really is you! Didn't you say that you were returning to the dormitory? Why are you at the commercial street? You must be lying to me!”
  • Ma Xiaonan pretended to be angry and came running to Chen Hao upon seeing him.
