Things calmed down even faster than Xu Keke and the others had anticipated. They had expected that much earlier.

To have been able to act lawlessly for so many years, Mr. Guo must have some skill or influence.

Miss Guo had been waiting at the club for several days. Upon seeing Chen Ming and his group, her first words were...

"I can't get through to the phone number on your business card. I've been trying to call you for days."

Chen Ming and Xu Keke exchanged a glance, and Chen Ming smiled and said to Xu Keke, "That's where we stayed when we first arrived. We've been staying at No. 28 Xiangzhang Road for the past few days."

"Xiang...Xiangzhang Road, No. 28?" Miss Guo's jaw nearly dropped in surprise. She had lost some weight after all the commotion these past few days. And with that wide stare, her eyes looked even bigger than before.

"You, you and Brother Long are very close?"

Chen Ming smiled modestly, "I wouldn't say that, I'm just a junior."

It was clear that Chen Ming had no intention of going into details, but what need was there for such a thing? "Junior, it's simply a matter of family ties."

Besides, what kind of question is that? They're all staying at Brother Long's villa, how could their relationship not be good?

You should know that villa is very famous. A couple of years ago, just mentioning No. 28 Xiangzhang Road would send shivers down everyone's spine.

Rumors are circulating that Brother Long's current wife didn't like the place, so he moved there.

Another version of the story is that Brother Long had a feng shui master who always followed him. That master said that the feng shui of No. 28 Xiangzhang Road had been bad in recent years.

That's why Brother Long moved away.

"Is there something you need from me?"

Chen Ming waved to Kang Wei in the distance, then looked at Miss Guo, his posture conveying only one message: "Hurry up and tell me so I can come over; I have an appointment over there."

"I've been considering the collaboration you mentioned last time..."

Before Miss Guo could finish speaking, Chen Ming interrupted her, "No need. I already knew you weren't interested after you said that last time. So it's fine."

Miss Guo panicked, "You didn't hire Kang Wei, did you? You're new here and don't know the situation. Let me tell you, he's a complete wastrel who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. If you cooperate with him, he doesn't know anything and will only hold you back."

That's how people are. If you give someone something for free, they'll doubt it and hesitate. But if you give that same thing to someone else, they'll get anxious and try to take it back.

Xu Keke looked at Kang Wei, who was looking impatient in the distance. He was unaware that he was being disliked by the tomboy he always looked down on.

Seeing that Conway had already gotten up, Chen Ming quickly said to Miss Guo, "It's really inconvenient right now. How about this, tomorrow afternoon, you can come to No. 28 Xiangzhang Road to find me. We can talk in detail then."

That's a good idea. Miss Guo just wanted to probe their situation further. She couldn't just believe everything others said. She readily agreed.

Seeing that Kang Wei was approaching, Miss Guo hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Ming, picked up her walking stick, and left in a hurry.

"What does she want with you?" Conway asked, watching Miss Guo's retreating figure. "Does she know about the Fang family's collaboration with the business?"

If she dares to bother you again, don't hold back. Tell her any one of their family's problems, and she'll run away.

Xu Keke then realized that the reason why Miss Guo ran away when she saw him was because she was frightened by his sharp tongue.

Ever since Kang Wei helped his friend, Young Master Fang, establish a connection with Li Shi, Li Shi has introduced several more clients to the Fang family.

The Fang family offered fair prices and good quality. They also gave considerable incentives to secure the business. As a result, they quickly secured several orders.

This completely opened up the Fang family's sales channels.

Young Master Fang is now highly valued at home, which makes Conway happy for him.

Therefore, Conway and Chen Ming have an exceptionally good relationship now.

"Last time, you said you'd bring me a few bottles of good wine. If it's convenient, could you have someone deliver them to me tomorrow afternoon? I bragged to Brother Long that my friend has some good wine and that I'd send him a few bottles sometime."

Conway's eyes lit up. "Don't even mention Brother Long, it's convenient for me to drink it myself. We're brothers, why are you being so polite? You know me, I'm always so bored."

"If Brother Long is enjoying his drinks..." Chen Ming asked tentatively.

"I'll do it. I can deliver it on time and I promise I won't embarrass you," Conway assured, patting his chest.

"Then it's settled. I'll tell Brother Long that if there's no problem."

Conway couldn't suppress his smile any longer. "It's settled, it's definitely settled. Chen Ming, from now on we're brothers. You've helped me so many times, don't worry, I know everything. If you need anything, just let me know."

No one really wants to be a spendthrift. But he has a capable older brother, and no matter what he does, the family always criticizes him.

Conway owns a distillery. He originally bought it for convenience when the distillery owner was about to abscond.

He didn't expect that when he casually mentioned it to Chen Ming, Chen Ming would find an opportunity to bring it up with Brother Long when he went to see Brother Long.

Although he had never dealt with Brother Long, this circle is only so big.

He already knew that Brother Long was famously a heavy drinker. If he could get on Brother Long's good side, things would be much easier for him in the future.

Suddenly, a gasp came from the front row.

Xu Keke turned her head to look and saw that a magic show was being performed on the stage. The magician was wearing a tuxedo and a black bow tie. He sprayed something at the iron rod, and then suddenly bursts of fireballs appeared.

This startled several ladies nearby.
