Chapter 523: Chapter 520: Where is Your Invitation?

"Xiao Yi!"

Just as the security captain’s worry was at its peak, another somewhat anxious voice also rang out during this moment of utter shock for the others.

"Uncle Wang, I’m here!"

Xiao Yi glanced indifferently at the security captain. He had been about to say something but, hearing this somewhat anxious call, he immediately looked up and waved in the direction of the voice, smiling as he went forward to meet him.

As Xiao Yi parted the crowd, he saw Wang Dawei wearing a suit, looking as though he had completely transformed into someone else, his face adorned with an even brighter smile.

He had never imagined that Wang Dawei would be present there, nor had he expected that Chen Xue had asked someone to pick him up, and that it was Wang Dawei.

"It’s good that you’re here, hehe, Miss Chen sent me to bring you in."

Seeing Xiao Yi, Wang Dawei’s face immediately showed a kindly smile. His expression appeared simple and honest. Having been with Jianguo lately, his status had almost completely changed compared to before. Under the influence of Jianguo, his temperament also significantly transformed. Typically, while working closely with Jianguo, he would remain silent; anyone dealing with Jianguo in business could hardly imagine that this man was once just a simple, honest townsman who had been a driver all his life.

It was only when he faced those closest to him and bore that simple, affectionate smile on his face, that people could see he was still the same old Wang Dawei.

"This......"

Gao Junjie and the other Four Young Evil Masters didn’t recognize Wang Dawei. Seeing this middle-aged man appear, they felt a bit surprised, but it didn’t strike them as anything special. However, the security men, seeing Wang Dawei dressed in a black suit, instantly gasped in shock once again! Especially the guard who had been injured and had previously stopped Xiao Yi, was now visibly frightened.

This man was none other than Wang Dawei, the new driver Jianguo Group had recently hired!

Ever since he joined, wherever Director Chen went, Wang Dawei was almost always by his side, even more so than Secretary Liu Yuan, who now spent far less time with Jianguo than he did.

It was being said within the company that he was Jianguo’s new favorite and might even replace Liu Yuan soon!

And this man, not only knew Wang Dawei but, more crucially, had just offended him and even prevented him from entering!

Suddenly, a realization flashed across his mind; recalling the phone call Xiao Yi had made, he had mentioned a nickname, "Xue"!

Among today’s guests, there was no little girl, but the main character of today’s party was indeed a small girl named Chen Xue. It was Xue, the name often used by Director Chen and the others!

This man... not only knew Wang Dawei but also knew miss... He was genuinely here for the banquet!

He wasn’t uninvited, rather, he was more important than invited guests—the kind who didn’t need an invitation!

Realizing this, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, momentarily forgetting even the excruciating pain coming from his fingers.

"This man, no need to work at Jianguo Group anymore!"

Xiao Yi took a few steps, then suddenly turned his head and said indifferently to that particular security guard.

"Please rest assured, Young Master Xiao, I will handle it, definitely handle it well. I absolutely won’t allow such a harmful person to stay at Jianguo Group!"

The leader of the security hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead while nodding vigorously.

The guard who had just collapsed upon hearing the chief’s words suddenly blacked out and fainted completely.

But the other guards, who had just been fiercely ready to defend him, now didn’t even give him a glance, let alone show any sympathy. Indeed, they even felt some resentment toward him.

This guy had troubled such a formidable figure and almost dragged them down with him!

Xiao Yi looked at the chief of security; knowing he was not one to be negligent and would likely carry out his orders well, he said nothing more, gave a dismissive glance to the other guards, and then turned and left.

The few guards touched by Xiao Yi’s gaze all broke out in cold sweat, fearing that he might also direct a sentence their way. They believed that their usually kind chief of security would definitely not be lenient!

Fortunately, Xiao Yi said nothing further...

Watching Xiao Yi turn and walk away, all the guards couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted, yet the sight of their grim chief of security caused some nervousness on their faces, deterring any display of relief.

Wang Dawei watched Xiao Yi with a slight surprise, but said nothing, just followed by his side as they walked inside.

Gao Junjie and the other Four Young Evil Masters were almost stunned. What was happening?

Xiao Yi had not started a fight with them?

And these people seemed quite afraid of Xiao Yi?

He even swaggered in?

How could that be possible?

Could it be that he actually had some strong backing?

Who on earth was that middle-aged man? Could he be someone extraordinary?

It took a while for Gao Junjie to snap back to reality, and his face involuntarily shifted from pale to flushed.

"Young Master Gao... let’s go."

Wang Qiang and Li Han were the first to recover. Watching Xiao Yi’s retreating figure, they quickly nudged Gao Junjie and whispered.

Gao Junjie nodded and then prepared to head inside.

"Gentlemen, please wait a moment. Where are your invitations?"

The security guard, who had just been scared into a cold sweat, came to his senses and saw Gao Junjie and his group heading inside. Recalling that he almost laid hands on Xiao Yi partly because this young man had spoken up, and now thinking about it, the young man’s tone seemed somewhat provocative, he suddenly frowned unpleasantly and blocked their path.

They had clearly seen that these young men had arrived in that BMW. Although it would be considered a good car in the eyes of the average person, worth nearly a million, these security guards accustomed to seeing the bigger picture regarded it merely as a low-class car and would not take it seriously.

Moreover, this guy almost cost them their jobs. And the jobs at Jianguo Group weren’t that easy to secure!

"Here is my invitation," said Gao Junjie.

Never did Gao Junjie imagine that these security guards would give him a hard time. Seeing the disdainful and proud expressions on the faces of the guards, his face suddenly turned shades of green and white, and a surge of anger welled up uncontrollably within him. He had never been so insulted all his life.

They were just ordinary security guards after all!

Although he desperately wanted to slap the security guards hard, his rationality made him suppress the impulse. With an awkward expression, he took out his invitation and handed it over, knowing that this was no ordinary place to act recklessly.

Moreover, it was perfectly normal to be asked to show their invitations.

The other three men quickly bowed and hurriedly produced their own invitations.

"Hmph."

After scrutinizing the invitations carefully, the security guard finally returned them to the group, snorted coldly through his nose, waved his hand, and signaled them to go in.

Initially, when that security guard had stopped Gao Junjie, the security team leader was about to speak up and reprimand him for greeting guests with such attitude, but then another security guard informed him that these guys had just been agitating and almost caused a conflict with Xiao Yi. He immediately held his tongue. Such fellows, daring to oppose Young Master Xiao, deserved a slap for not doing worse—why defend them?

"Xiao Yi, Director Chen is upstairs now. Would you like to meet him first, or would you rather look around on your own?"

After entering the villa, Wang Dawei asked Xiao Yi with a somewhat inquisitive tone.

"I’ll just wander around on my own. There’s no need to bother Uncle Chen right now," Xiao Yi smiled.

He knew that Chen Jianguo must be busy at the moment. Going up there would certainly disturb him, and he had fully understood Chen Jianguo’s temperament by now. No matter what he said, Chen Jianguo would drop everything to accompany him.

"That’s fine, too. I need to go over there and be ready to help at any moment, so I can’t stay with you," said Wang Dawei, nodding. He knew that Xiao Yi was Chen Jianguo’s relative, and his own opportunity to enter the Jianguo Group and serve as Chen Jianguo’s driver was entirely thanks to Xiao Yi. He thought Xiao Yi must be very familiar with this place and almost regarded as half the host, so there was no need for formalities.

Besides, his presence wasn’t for attending the banquet. Although he was Chen Jianguo’s driver, he still didn’t qualify to join such a banquet as a formal guest; he was just a staff member.

He had duties to attend to, ready to await orders, to see if Chen Jianguo had any tasks for him.

He had only come out to receive Xiao Yi because Chen Xue had called him to escort Xiao Yi inside.

Furthermore, honestly, even if he were invited to such a banquet, he wouldn’t feel comfortable. The people entering the hall were either rich or noble, and although his demeanor had somewhat changed from being around Chen Jianguo for a while, he still lacked the deep-seated confidence necessary for such occasions. Some things rooted deep within him were not so easily altered. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
