Chen Yun and Long Pingting returned to Zhonglong Group and had just entered Long Pingting's office.
Liang Chenglong, one of the group's directors, rushed over in a hurry.
He knocked on the door and came in. When he saw Chen Yun and Long Pingting, his first words were full of concern: "Mr. Chen, Ms. Long, I just heard that you got into a fight with the people from the Junan Hotel across the street. Are you alright?"
Long Pingting shook her head: "It's nothing."
Chen Yun laughed and said, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast! We just got into a fight, and you've already heard about it, Lao Liang."
Liang Chenglong laughed and said, "I just came to the company to confirm the list of guests invited to the port opening ceremony tomorrow with President Long. I didn't expect to hear about this as soon as I entered the company gate. It really startled me."
Chen Yun said, "Old Liang, you're making a fuss over nothing."
Liang Chenglong nodded, but then said with some concern, "As far as I know, the Jun'an Hotel across the street is owned by the Chu family of the provincial capital."
"Chu Longxiang has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. He has dominated Jiangnan for decades and is known in the martial arts world as the King of Jiangnan."
"If we smash up their hotel, won't they be upset and come after us?"
Chen Yun said calmly, "A mere greenhorn dares to call himself the King of Jiangnan."
"If he is the King of Jiangnan, then what is my brother Huo Guanying?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Chenglong's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Mr. Chen, the Huo Guanying you mentioned, is he the Commander-in-Chief of our Jiangnan Military Region, Commander Huo?"
Chen Yun laughed and said, "Besides him, who else is worthy of being called the King of Jiangnan?"
Liang Chenglong slapped his forehead and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I was foolish. The only one who can be called the King of Jiangnan is Commander Huo. Besides, how many people can be on friendly terms with you, Mr. Chen? I should have realized it was Commander Huo a long time ago."
He's right.
Chen Yun has many friends.
But there are very few people that Chen Yun can call brothers.
Long Pingting was also stunned to learn that Huo Guanying, the commander of the Jiangnan Military Region, was Chen Yun's brother.
The young master's strength is far greater than she imagined!
No wonder the young master just told the Chu family, "The big shots in your hearts are nothing but ants that I can crush with a flick of my wrist."
No wonder the young master just told Chu Jianfei to go home and tell Chu Longxiang to stop calling himself the King of Jiangnan.
So the real King of Jiangnan is the young master's brother!
Just then, Chen Yun's phone rang.
Chen Yun took out his phone and was stunned when he saw the phone number displayed on the screen.
Long Pingting and Liang Chenglong noticed Chen Yun's unusual behavior.
Liang Chenglong couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"
Chen Yun's expression was strange: "Speak of the devil and he appears. I just mentioned Old Huo, and he actually called."
Liang Chenglong and Long Pingting were both taken aback upon hearing this.
Chen Yun had already answered the phone and said with a smile, "Old Liang, what brings you here to call me?"
A loud and forceful voice came from the phone: "Chen Yun, you bastard, after the Northern Army retreated, you ran off to live in seclusion in Zhonghai in the south for so long, and you haven't come to see me for a drink. You really don't treat me like a brother!"
Chen Yun laughed and said, "I've wanted to invite you for a drink several times, but I thought about how important it is for you to guard the South Gate. You can't be negligent in the slightest, so I gave up on that idea."
Huo Guanying retorted angrily, "Bullshit! At the celebration banquet for the joint exercise a few years ago, I lost to you in a martial arts contest, and then I lost to you in a drinking contest. I've been looking for revenge ever since!"
"You've been living in seclusion in Zhonghai for so long without coming to find me. Do you not want to give me a chance to win back?"
Chen Yun laughed and said, "How could that be?"
"Then let's do it tomorrow! My friend Zhonglong Group's port is having its opening ceremony tomorrow. Why don't you come over and join in the fun, Lao Huo, and have a couple of drinks?"
Huo Guanying lowered his voice: "Chen Yun, it's not that I'm not giving you face, it's just that I have work to do tomorrow."
"But I'm on vacation today, so let's just do it today."
"You pick a place, and tonight we brothers will meet up, have a couple of drinks, and catch up."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun said, "Alright, let's go with the Guolong Hotel in Zhonghai. It's our own hotel, so we can drink more freely."
Huo Guanying readily agreed, "Okay, I'll be there on time tonight, and we won't leave until we're drunk."
Hang up the phone.
Chen Yun looked at Long Pingting and Liang Chenglong: "Old Huo asked me to have a drink. We agreed to meet at the Guolong Hotel. You two should tell Lin Le to make the arrangements later."
"You two should come tonight too, and while you're at it, invite Tang Shirong, Lu Yaonan, and Wu Haidong as well, so they can get acquainted with you."
Long Pingting wasn't particularly interested in cultivating relationships with powerful people, so she simply nodded and said, "Yes!"
Liang Chenglong was much more excited and repeatedly said, "Yes, Mr. Chen!"
After explaining.
Chen Yun then left Zhonglong Group and returned to Shu's Company.
I returned to my small office.
I was just about to take a nap.
His phone rang again. When he answered, a strange man's voice came through the phone: "Chen Yun?"
Chen Yun frowned: "I am, and you are?"
The man on the other end of the phone said arrogantly, "I am Chu Jiangfeng. You smashed my family's hotel and injured my brother. I want to meet with you so we can sit down and talk."
People from the Chu family?
Chen Yun said coldly, "I have nothing to talk about with your Chu family. I have already given you an ultimatum. Just do as I say, sell the hotel, and get out of Zhonghai."
Chu Jiangfeng was displeased: "Chen Yun, even if you are the true owner of Zhonglong Group, our Chu family will not be afraid of you, nor will we do as you say. So you'd better meet me and sit down to talk, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Chen Yun said indifferently, "I'm waiting for you to be impolite!"
After saying that, he slammed down the phone and muttered, "What a piece of junk!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Shu Tangyin knocked on the door and came in with a cup of coffee, scolding, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Chen Yun laughed and said, "Some ignorant fools are threatening to cause me trouble."
After saying that, he glanced at the coffee in Shu Tangyin's hand: "You have so much free time to come see me?"
Shu Tangyin's pretty face flushed slightly as she said, "When I ordered coffee earlier, I also ordered one for you, so I brought it over for you!"
Actually, she hadn't seen Chen Yun for half a day and missed him, so she made an excuse to come and see him.
Chen Yun had no idea what Shu Tangyin was thinking about the girl she was in love with.
He casually took the coffee, took a sip, and said with a smirk, "I don't like it. I prefer tea!"
After putting down his coffee, he smiled at Shu Tangyin and said, "By the way, Zhonglong Group is holding its port opening ceremony tomorrow. Will you come with me to show your face?"
Shu Tangyin sat down on Chen Yun's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and nodded gently: "Okay!"
Chen Yun added, "Also, a brother I haven't seen in years invited me to dinner tonight, why don't you come along too!"
Shu Tangyin readily agreed: "Okay!"
...
Zhonghai City.
In the VIP ward of the hospital.
Lying on the hospital bed, Chu Jianfei looked at Chu Jiangfeng, who had just finished a phone call, and hurriedly asked, "Second Brother, what did that kid Chen Yun say?"
Chu Jiangfeng's face turned pale and then red, and he said angrily, "That kid refused to meet with me to negotiate, saying he was waiting for me to be rude to him."
Chu Jianfei was taken aback: "Then what do we do?"
"What should we do?" Chu Jiangfeng said with a sinister expression, "If he's avoiding us, then I'll just take some men and go find him. We're in the underworld; we rely on ruthless methods. Are we afraid we can't deal with these merchants?"
