Chapter 753: 576 Visiting

Ten Miles of Foreign Market.

East Sea.

A bar named TD officially opened, adding a new haunt for the nightlife crowd and casting a dazzling neon glow on this city that never sleeps.

"Look, is that Kim Joohyun?!"

"Yes! It’s really Kim Joohyun!"

"Oh my god! Is this a coincidence, or did she come specifically to support the event? Who is the owner of this bar, to have such clout!"

Bai Haoran was lucky, just one in the vast sea of people trying to make it in East Sea, he owned his bar by the age of thirty, and choosing to open it on his birthday made it a gift to himself in the glittering city of splendor and vice.

Without a doubt, Jiang Chen wouldn’t miss it, not only did he show up himself, but he also brought along Luo Peng, Bai Zheli, Li Shao, and even the reclusive Kim Joohyun, who was deeply invested in studying Shenzhou culture with Xia Wanqing.

Work and pleasure should go hand in hand.

Even if the other person had no objections and might even enjoy it, you couldn’t treat them like canaries, cooped up and never seeing the light of day.

Moreover, it could definitely boost the fame of Bai Haoran’s bar.

If it weren’t for Pei Yunxi and Ning Hui being abroad for filming, Jiang Chen wouldn’t mind calling everyone together to support the bar.

After all, CX Entertainment, adhering to the principle of quality over quantity, had signed only these three artists so far.

"Pretty lively, isn’t it?"

Being fully booked on opening day exceeded Jiang Chen’s expectations for the bar’s success.

"It’s all friends showing support, and there’s also Mr. Liao’s help."

Bai Haoran reserved the best spot for Jiang Chen.

"Liao Ge is here too?"

Jiang Chen asked in surprise.

"Hmm, Mr. Liao said he’s waiting specifically for Young Master Jiang since he heard you were coming."

"Alright."

Jiang Chen nodded, then said to Luo Peng, "You guys have fun, I’m going to meet a friend."

Arriving at the bar seemed to awaken something in his genes, and Luo Gongzi, once passionate about clubbing, was back, waving his hand nonchalantly, "Go ahead."

Kim Joohyun glanced at him and obediently did not speak, after all, Xia Wanqing was present.

Jiang Chen left, and under Bai Haoran’s guidance, made his way to the bar.

Liao Xiangdong was sitting there alone.

Opening a bar naturally involved pretty ladies, and it wasn’t because Bai Haoran didn’t arrange them, Jiang Chen knew that Liao Xiangdong peculiarly abstained, almost ascetic when it came to women.

"A whiskey."

He sat down next to Liao Xiangdong.

Bai Haoran silently left.

"Liao Ge, thank you for going out of your way to come here."

Jiang Chen knew that Liao Xiangdong’s presence was to support Bai Haoran, but also for whom.

"It’s been nearly a year since we’ve known each other, yet you’re still so formal."

Liao Xiangdong lifted his glass to clink with Jiang Chen’s.

The two of them took a sip of their drinks.

The bar was exceptionally noisy, a tumult of voices and pounding music, but it seemed to have nothing to do with them.

"How did it go with Geng Long regarding that matter you discussed last time?"

Jiang Chen held his drink, "Since Mr. Geng didn’t agree, I’ll have to do it myself."

Liao Xiangdong said nothing.

"Liao Ge, are you and Mr. Geng on good terms?"

Jiang Chen ventured to ask.

Liao Xiangdong drank, not directly answering, but merely saying, "Many years ago, Geng Long also wanted that underground boxing ring. However, Miss Lan gave it to me. Then he went to Jiangnan."

Though a simple statement, Jiang Chen discerned plenty of significant details.

Liao Xiangdong and Geng Long were both associated with Lan Peizhi, a conjecture he had, but now it seemed that there might also be a rivalry between Geng Long and Liao Xiangdong.

That made sense.

After all, even subsidiaries of the same company face internal struggles for power and profit.

Even blood brothers sometimes engage in underhanded competition.

"Everyone wants to make money, but given Mr. Geng’s status, he shouldn’t be short of it. Liao Ge, I think his methods of money-making are a bit too aggressive."

Liao Xiangdong nodded, "I didn’t expect his loan shark interest rates to be so exorbitant."

Liao Xiangdong’s dealings were certainly not all above board, for him to describe it as excessive spoke volumes of the outrageousness of the loan’s interest rates.

"Have you spoken to Miss Lan about it? She probably doesn’t know about this issue."

Jiang Chen shook his head, "I called once, but no one answered."

Liao Xiangdong took a calm sip of his drink, "Miss Lan must be very busy these days."

Very busy?

Jiang Chen picked up on something and asked with a smile, "During Miss Lan’s time in Korea, there must have been a lot of excitement back home, right?"

Liao Xiangdong turned to look at him, neither confirming nor denying.

Jiang Chen quietly drank, not probing further.

Without a doubt.

Lan Peizhi was surely tied up with settling scores and eliminating dissent, needing to vent the frustration she’d pent up in Korea.

It was uncertain how many had jumped at the opportunity to show their disloyalty during the period of Lan Peizhi’s troubles.

"I’m not in a position to intervene in this matter, whatever you decide, keep in mind that Mr. Geng was brought up by Miss Lan, and you should inform her about it."

A person like Liao Xiangdong wouldn’t speak much, but whenever he did, it was meaningful.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Liao Ge, I understand."

Liao Xiangdong finished his last sip, put down his glass, stood up, and patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder, "I’m going now, enjoy yourself."

Jiang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony.

Suddenly.

Liao Xiangdong paused mid-step, turned his head, "Yun Xi is overseas, she’s doing okay?"

Jiang Chen was momentarily startled, then quickly replied, "She’s doing very well, and I’ve given specific instructions to the director, Liao Ge can rest assured."

Liao Xiangdong nodded and left the bar.

Jiang Chen watched his agile figure blend into the dim light and then pulled out his phone, intending to call Pei Yunxi, who was thousands of miles away.
