Chapter 133: Chapter 136 Quickly Kicked Him Out

Watching Chen Jianguo speak with such momentum to a group of rich second-generations, Xiao Yi’s impression of him underwent a huge change. At the same time, he began to understand why the old man had chosen him.

Besides the smoothness of a businessman, Chen Jianguo’s mind also harbored something that many businessmen, especially great merchants and the wealthy, lack—edges and vitality!

Xiao Yi knew just from the way Chen Jianguo did not hesitate to wage war against these rich second-generations that his support last night was not in vain!

Had Chen Jianguo not acted as he did, choosing instead to come to him and attempt to sweep the matter under the rug with a compromise, he decidedly would not have let it go. He would have forced him to sever ties completely with these rich second-generations and would thereafter sever all ties with Chen Jianguo, offering him no more help.

No matter if Chen Jianguo was an old acquaintance of the old man or whatever the relationship they had, Xiao Yi would no longer bother with him.

He believed the old man would no longer bother with him either.

Fortunately, Chen Jianguo did not disappoint him and made the right choice. Therefore, he could not let him fall into trouble. Xiao Yi had always known that Li Ziming’s identity was not simple. Although he did not know how powerful exactly, he was aware that if Chen Jianguo were to head-on clash with them, at the very least it would end in mutual destruction. This was something he did not wish to see. So, as Li Ziming spoke, he chose to step forward and speak up.

Li Ziming and the group of rich second-generations turned red-faced from Chen Jianguo’s words, yet none dared to speak. Chen Jianguo had just agreed to drop the issue, and no one wanted to provoke his wrath. If he truly took the matter seriously, it wasn’t they who would find themselves in the right.

After Chen Jianguo went in to relieve himself, Li Ziming, with a gloomy face and a hint of venom in his eyes, gave Xiao Yi, who was wearing a faint smile, a cold snort through his nostrils and briskly left the restroom.

The other rich second-generations, too, followed Li Ziming with mixed expressions of embarrassment and anger and soon vanished from Xiao Yi’s sight.

Xiao Yi was already accustomed to Li Ziming’s venomous gazes. From their first meeting onward, every encounter was met with similar looks with no signs of improvement.

...

"Young Master Li, that old bastard Chen Jianguo is detestable."

"Yeah, Young Master Li, it’s one thing to disrespect us, but to not give a damn about your face either!"

"..."

As soon as they returned to the dining area, those rich second-generations immediately revealed expressions of extreme indignation as they recounted the incident to a stone-faced Li Ziming.

Although these rich second-generations were foolish, they still had a slight sense of self-awareness. They knew that to deal with Chen Jianguo, Li Ziming would have to act, as their families, though somewhat wealthy or influential, could at best only match Chen Jianguo. Their elders would definitely not risk a life-and-death dispute over them, and even they themselves knew this was not a matter to be addressed by them.

"Hmph, Chen Jianguo won’t be able to maintain his arrogance for long," Li Ziming said with sheer disdain.

Just now, Chen Jianguo indeed had not given him any face, siding entirely with Xiao Yi, that country bumpkin, and this had already bred some resentment in Li Ziming. Hearing his peers’ remarks, the corners of his mouth lifted in a slight cold smile.

Chen Jianguo, oh Chen Jianguo, you old bastard, since you’re seeking your own demise, I, young master, will just have to grant you that wish!

Li Ziming sneered inwardly, thinking to himself that he should call his third maternal uncle when he got back.

And Xiao Yi, that country bumpkin, I’ll see how long you can keep hopping around!

Thinking about that person’s terrifying strength, all the gloom in Li Ziming’s heart was swept away instantly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master Li, what do you say? Are you planning to make a move against that old coot Chen Jianguo?"

At Li Ziming’s words, all the heirs’ faces turned red with excitement, their eyes shining bright.

"Hmph, soon, my third uncle should be able to take control of Jianguo Group. Then, we can tell that old coot to hit the road."

Li Ziming’s face wore a smug expression as if he could already see Chen Jianguo leaving in disgrace.

"So that’s how it is; we almost forgot that Young Master Li’s uncle is the vice president of Jianguo Group."

"Cheers!"

"Here’s to Young Master Li’s uncle taking control soon, and to making that old fart Chen Jianguo scram as soon as possible. When that time comes, I’ll spit right in his face!"

"..."

The atmosphere among them quickly shifted from the previous gloom, as they once again raised their glasses enthusiastically.

...

After this interlude occurred, Chen Jianguo apologized repeatedly upon returning to Emperor Hall and drank several more glasses. Already seven parts drunk, he soon collapsed into a stupor. Fortunately, Liu Yuan, who had also had quite a bit to drink, retained some degree of sobriety. Although he couldn’t drive Chen Jianguo back home himself, he had no problem calling a driver.

After dialing for a driver and repeatedly entrusting him to carefully escort Xiao Yi back, he personally apologized to Xiao Yi several times and only then escorted Chen Jianguo away.

When the driver Liu Yuan found sent Xiao Yi back home, it was nearly midnight. After a quick shower, Xiao Yi hurriedly began his cultivation for the day.

Xiao Yi had never been a lazy person. Apart from occasionally slacking off when he was very young, which resulted in punishment from the old man, he had been diligent in his kungfu training for many years, regardless of the circumstances. Moreover, he had now crossed paths with an enemy in the Bone Tempering Period, and the strength of the forces behind him was still unknown. Xiao Yi dared not slack off in his cultivation.

Quietly reciting the incantations of the Carefree True Scripture, Xiao Yi soon felt the familiar True Qi and began controlling the faint strands of it, circulating them through his body.

...

"You little beast, look at the mess you’ve made!!"

In the largest villa in Half Mountain, G City’s richest residential area, Gao Junjie was bowing his head obediently, without any trace of the arrogance he exhibited at school. He stood wilted in the center of the hallway, as if frostbitten. Sitting on the sofa opposite him were several middle-aged men with dignified demeanors.

Next to them, a middle-aged man in his early forties, displaying a commanding presence and bearing a strong resemblance to Gao Junjie, was pointing at him with a red-faced, exasperated expression and berated him.
