Chapter 644: 524 Fairies_2
This fellow’s tone was quite beguiling, and he treated everyone as if they were old friends, one wonders how many girls he had wooed with this act.
In a certain sense, if what this fellow was saying was true, then Jiang Chen and he could be considered peers.
Models, internet celebrities, stars... The thresholds are different, but each is tougher to succeed in than the last.
It’s like this in the business of relying on one’s looks: filled with unwritten rules. Stars have it a bit better, out of reach of any petty figure.
But it’s different for models.
Jiang Chen drank his coffee, watching this boastful guy with a meaningful look.
Without any surprises, if Lan Peizhi agreed, next this fellow would probably ask her for a private photoshoot.
But one had to admit.
This fellow did have a good eye.
However, sometimes having a good eye isn’t necessarily a good thing.
"Miss, here is my business card."
Perhaps knowing that empty promises lacked persuasive power, the fellow fished a business card from his pocket. Even though Jiang Chen couldn’t see its contents, it felt high-quality,
as he extended his hand toward Lan Peizhi.
Lan Peizhi stayed motionless, treating him as if he were air.
"Miss..."
The fellow was persistent, still not planning to give up, oblivious to the great risk of his behavior.
Jiang Chen had already started to silently mourn for him.
Just at that moment, a military-green jeep drove up.
A Hummer, rarely seen in the country.
Its rank was not extraordinarily high, but it was undeniably imposing.
The door to the Hummer opened.
The first thing to step out was a pair of Martin boots, followed by a young man in casual wear, with a pair of sharp sword-like eyebrows, a firm look in his face, muscles bulging under his clothes filling them out nicely, exuding a manly presence.
He walked over here, unconcerned by the stares of the onlookers.
"Miss, if you don’t believe me, you can visit my company and see for yourself, I guarantee..."
While that fellow was prattling on, a hand pressed down on his shoulder from behind.
"Excuse me."
The fellow froze, displeasure on his face, but upon turning and seeing the solid physique of the other person, his confidence waned, and then, spotting the imposing Hummer and its commanding license plate, he faltered.
In a first-tier city like Jinguan City, and especially in a place like Chunxi Road, there were no shortage of flashy cars, but anyone with a little knowledge understood that the most important part of judging a car wasn’t looking at its price.
Seeing the glaring white-on-red license plate on the Hummer, the fellow’s heart skipped a beat, and he broke out into a cold sweat on the spot.
"I—I’m sorry...I didn’t mean to disturb you."
Without another word, he took off, his steps rushed and chaotic.
The owner of the Hummer paid him no mind and looked toward Lan Peizhi, lifting a charming smile.
"Lan Jie, when did you come back?"
"Just arrived."
The owner of the Hummer sat down.
"You just arrived and you’re already treating me to coffee, I’m honored."
This kind of disparity in his surroundings made his ingratiating words seem somewhat jarring.
Jiang Chen quietly observed, still not intervening.
"If you want coffee, you can buy it yourself."
Lan Peizhi calmly stated.
The owner of the Hummer’s face stiffened, and he forced a smile, then actually went and bought himself a cup of coffee.
"I’d like to introduce someone to you."
Following Lan Peizhi’s gaze, the owner of the Hummer seemed to only just notice Comrade Jiang Chen sitting beside her.
"Hello, Jiang Chen."
The one who had been feigning deafness all this time finally spoke at the right moment.
Albeit surprised, the owner of the Hummer still quickly replied with a smile and a friendly demeanor, "Wang Heting."
Wang Heting.
Jiang Chen took mental note of this name.
For Lan Peizhi to wait so seriously for so long just to meet this man indicated his extraordinary status.
And that Hummer’s license plate.
Clearly, it came from the military.
"Lan Jie, are you planning to visit the old Taoist priest since you’re back?"
After greeting Jiang Chen, Wang Heting redirected his attention to Lan Peizhi.
"What, you want to go?"
"If Lan Jie is going, I can drive you there."
"I can hardly afford the luxury of having a Lieutenant Colonel serve as my driver."
Lan Peizhi said tranquilly.
Lieutenant Colonel?
Jiang Chen’s eyebrows twitched sharply as he looked in amazement at the man from Shenzhou that he was meeting for the first time.
Looking at his age, he must not be over thirty, right?
A lieutenant colonel under thirty?!
"Sister Lan, you’re mistaken, he’s already a colonel. He just got promoted not long ago."
Wang Heting said with "modesty".
"Tsk."
Lan Peizhi smiled faintly, "Already a lieutenant colonel, in another couple of years, wouldn’t he be a general by then."
"No, no, no, that’s too exaggerated, under forty, don’t even think about it."
Watching Wang Heting sip his coffee with his head down, Jiang Chen’s heart surged.
The conversation between the two seemed nonchalant, but if it got out, it could probably shock people’s jaws off!
Even though Jiang Chen had known early on that this man was extraordinary, he didn’t expect him to be so fierce.
His family background was clearly distinguished.
Otherwise, such a terrifying speed of promotion would not be possible.
But at the same time,
Such a terrifying speed of promotion couldn’t be achieved by background alone!
Shenzhou’s youngest general was during the founding era, at thirty-three years old.
Considering Wang Heting’s age and under normal circumstances, even if he couldn’t break the record of thirty-three, he probably wouldn’t have to wait until the forty he mentioned!
"Sister Lan, if you don’t want me to send it, that’s fine. Come back with me later for a meal, and by the way, I promised the old Taoist master a good jar of wine last time, just so happens my dad recently got a few bottles, you can take one so the old Taoist master won’t keep nagging that I’m not trustworthy."
"You’re giving away your father’s things as favors?"
"Aren’t my father’s things mine too?
Wang Heting, holding his coffee cup, smiled and said, "And I already talked to my dad about it, he couldn’t be happier when he heard it was for the old Taoist master, he even told me to take a few more bottles, but I know the old Taoist master’s character, he wouldn’t accept too much."
Lan Peizhi laughed without saying a word.
She really was a woman with an interesting flavor, just having a simple coffee, and yet she exuded infinite charm.
There were many beautiful women outside the coffee shop, even foreign beauties, but she, with her light makeup and natural look, stood out like a crane amongst chickens, always attracting people’s gaze first.
"Sister Lan, are you going? If you are, I’ll call home in advance to get things ready."
Lan Peizhi shook her head.
"Sister Lan, you won’t even give that bit of face? You know I rarely ever ask for this."
Although it was their first time meeting, Jiang Chen absolutely believed this statement.
A lieutenant colonel under thirty.
One can only imagine what kind of family he comes from.
How high is the threshold of such a family?
People who want to get in could probably wear down the doorstep.
"Is your sister at home?"
Lan Peizhi asked casually.
Wang Heting hesitated, then honestly replied, "Yes. My sister and I are both on a short leave."
"And you still invite me to go?"
Wang Heting smiled bitterly.
"Sister Lan, you know my sister’s temperament, she’s just competitive like a fanatical tiger, don’t hold it against her."
Fanatical tiger.
Jiang Chen finally heard a somewhat familiar name.
Shenzhou is vast and rich in resources.
Jiang Chen realized that he might have come into contact with a top-tier family power that rivaled those wealthy families in the Capital City.
"You’re already a lieutenant colonel, what about your sister?"
Lan Peizhi asked softly.
"She’s slated for promotion to senior colonel by the end of the year," Wang Heting replied, sipping his coffee without any arrogance, as if he was discussing an insignificant matter, just casual talk with the person next to him, but Jiang Chen was already somewhat disconcerted.
Siblings.
One a lieutenant colonel, the other a senior colonel?
Doesn’t that mean that in the future, we’ll have two generals from the same family?!
Lan Peizhi gently swirled her coffee.
Wang Heting turned his head, looking towards Jiang Chen, whom he was meeting for the first time.
"Mr. Jiang, have you ever met the old Taoist master?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, "No."
Wang Heting expressed his admiration, "Then you should meet him, he’s a real immortal."
"An immortal?"
"Think about it, who else but an immortal could have taught Sister Lan to become what she is now?"
Jiang Chen paused.
He had always been curious how Lan Peizhi could have grown from an ordinary country girl into what she was today.
Now, it seemed like he was finally uncovering a corner of the mystery.
