Chapter 398: Chapters 397-400 Director Chen Is Angry_2

But all these did not affect his influence in G City in the slightest.

Some people, like Chen Jianguo, do not require media to boost their influence; they are influential by their mere presence.

The extent of Jianguo Group’s influence in G City was immense. Whether it was the iconic Jianguo Building, the significant business district of Righteousness Square, or the omnipresent Jianguo Group products filling supermarkets and department stores, all signalled the Group’s and its low-profile founder and chairman Chen Jianguo’s status in G City.

Perhaps, many ordinary citizens still might not recognize Chen Jianguo, but people like Boss Zhang could not possibly be unaware of him.

He never expected that Chen Jianguo, an influential figure whom he would not normally have the chance to meet, would suddenly appear here, standing beside Xiao Yi with a murderous look, glaring at him furiously, which sent an ominous premonition surging from the depths of his heart, causing his hand holding the gun to tremble involuntarily.

In the crowd, a woman with half of her face covered by a pair of glasses but whose exposed contours still hinted at a ravishing beauty, paused mid-step as she saw Chen Jianguo appear on the scene. The tension on her face relaxed, a slight smirk lifting the corners of her mouth as she crossed her arms over her chest, ready to watch the excitement unfold.

"Quite an imposing figure, this boss," she quipped.

Chen Jianguo looked at Boss Zhang, whose face had turned pale and had a sizable belly, and his eyes revealed a mocking sneer, speaking in a manner far removed from his usual low-profile and modest demeanor, decidedly unapologetic.

His humility was reserved for those who deserved his respect, his colleagues, and his friends.

But when it came to his bottom line, he would never mince words or show any politeness, and unfortunately for Boss Zhang, Xiao Yi was one of his bottom lines. When the Young Master of the Li family had attempted to suppress Xiao Yi, Chen Jianguo had not hesitated to confront him, so how much more for someone like Boss Zhang?

It was at this moment he deeply understood why Xiao Yi, who rarely asked for help, had hastily reached out to him for assistance!

He also realized why Xiao Yi had made that seemingly bizarre request for him to contact the most just official he knew in the area because this time, Xiao Yi wasn’t facing ordinary thugs.

Almost everyone there could feel the towering rage emanating from Chen Jianguo; everyone’s heart trembled, especially Boss Zhang’s legs, which began to shake involuntarily.

As for Director Li and the others who started the trouble, their faces had gone pale, cold sweat breaking out on their palms. The man hit by Xiao Yi’s iron rod had even forgotten the excruciating pain, only feeling cold sweat emerge unceasingly as his lips turned blue.

Even those with the least bit of intelligence would now know that Chen Jianguo wouldn’t step forward without good reason. He was taking a stand for Xiao Yi. They could hardly believe that Xiao Yi, a kid who wore clothes from the street stalls that cost no more than a few hundred yuan, would be involved with someone like Chen Jianguo. Deep inside, they were just praying that Xiao Yi and Chen Jianguo didn’t have too deep of a connection. After all, it didn’t seem likely that the two of them would have much to do with each other.

Though they considered themselves to be somebodies in this territory, their tough act while speaking to Xiao Yi and Li Xiaomei just now had been convincing. But they were acutely aware that compared to Chen Jianguo, they were nothing more than insignificant small-time hooligans. If he wanted to crush them, it would be as effortless as pressing an ant to death with a finger.

It took a while for Boss Zhang to forcibly calm himself. Still, his voice trembled as he looked at the imposing Chen Jianguo and said, "Director... Director Chen, is this... is he your friend? That... there was... some misunderstanding! We... were just joking around!"

After speaking, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t manage a smile at that moment, as if his facial muscles had suddenly lost control. The sweat on his forehead had also begun to appear.

In his heart, he was the same as Director Li and the others beside him, continually praying that there was no profound connection between Chen Jianguo and Xiao Yi. If that were the case, giving Chen Jianguo enough face, he should not pursue the matter further.

Observing Boss Zhang, who had just now acted all high and mighty, now looking pale as death, like a mouse before a cat, people’s glances towards Chen Jianguo became curious. In private, they began to discuss in hushed tones.

"Who is this guy, so imposing!"

"Yeah, who is he... they call him Director Chen, which Director Chen is so powerful... could it be Chen Jianguo, the Director of Jianguo Group?"

"That’s right, it’s him. I’ve seen him on ’First Finance’ celebrity talk show once. I can’t be wrong; he looks exactly the same as on TV..."

"Wow..."

As Chen Jianguo’s identity spread among the crowd, there were occasional exclamations of awe. The general public might not usually pay much attention to what Chen Jianguo looked like, but his fame was equally well-known!

Looking at Xiao Yi’s slender figure in the center, they all couldn’t help but come to a realization. No wonder he dared to stand up to these people; it turns out he knew a big shot like Chen Jianguo!

"Just a joke?"

Hearing Boss Zhang’s words, the anger in Chen Jianguo’s heart was finally fully ignited. His brow shot up, and his eyes, as if they could breathe fire, directly stared down Boss Zhang. It seemed as if his gaze could transform into a tangible sword, piercing straight through Boss Zhang’s heart. If he had been in his office at that moment, he would have already expressed his fury by slamming his desk, but there was no desk now, and standing in the open space, he skipped the first two steps and pointed his finger directly at Boss Zhang, "Do you think I’m blind, or do you think I’m an idiot? Tell me, just a joke? Would you like me to ’joke’ around with you?"(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
