Chapter 714: 709 Tenth Anniversary Celebration

These days, it’s not uncommon to travel by plane.

Even though the train is still the primary mode of transportation.

After all, there aren’t as many discounts on airfare now, and it’s impossible to get ridiculously low prices like ten or twenty percent off.

Old Yuan and Gu Chen boarded the plane.

The passengers in the seats around them were mostly business owners.

Company employees couldn’t afford to fly at this time.

"I’ve made contact with a friend in Haicheng, let’s meet up with him first," said Old Yuan, sitting next to Gu Chen, speaking softly.

Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this, although he was curious about whom Old Yuan had contacted.

However, he was certain that it must be someone who could offer assistance.

The total flight duration was only three hours.

After those three hours, the plane gently touched down on the runway.

Haicheng, a place that truly could be called an economic center.

Even in today’s age, Haicheng remains the gathering place for the wealthy.

Almost every well-known rich person in society chose to come to Haicheng.

Here, not only is there the highest concentration of resources, but it’s also easy to meet like-minded partners for collaboration.

Therefore, all the rich aspire to come to Haicheng.

This city is practically a paradise for the wealthy; as long as you have money, anything is possible.

This was also Gu Chen’s first visit to Haicheng, and even in this era, Haicheng’s airport is the largest amongst all cities.

From the skies above the city, one could behold the magnificent scenery of Haicheng.

Perhaps every rich person fantasizes about Haicheng on their first visit, and Gu Chen was no exception. When he saw the landscapes of Haicheng, he inexplicably felt a sense of conquest in his heart, wanting to dominate this city and stand out within it.

Gu Chen and Old Yuan disembarked from the plane and as soon as they stepped outside the airport, a black Mercedes-Benz came to pick them up.

A bald man stepped out of the black Mercedes-Benz.

This bald man looked quite young, seemingly in his early twenties, probably younger than Gu Chen.

"Boss Gu, let me introduce you. This is my younger brother, you can just call him Xiao Wang."

Old Yuan introduced him to Gu Chen by his side.

After hearing this, Gu Chen smiled and said, "Hello, Gu Chen."

"Nice to meet you, Boss Gu. I’ve heard about you from my brother, and I really admire you," Xiao Wang said, very politely shaking Gu Chen’s hand, with a genuinely admiring expression on his face.

Gu Chen was curious as to what there was to admire about him, wondering what shining points he possessed to be worthy of such admiration.

Gu Chen just smiled, taking it as a mere courtesy.

"Everything is prepared at the hotel; we can head over now. This afternoon we can go straight to the hotel they mentioned. I’ve checked, and it’s a nice place, currently the only five-star hotel in Haicheng, a spot where those wealthy types like to go."

Xiao Wang was telling Gu Chen at this moment, having arranged the entire itinerary, and naturally, that so-called hotel was precisely the location arranged by Qianyang Commerce Association for their meeting.

Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this but didn’t say anything.

They proceeded to the hotel that guy had arranged.

Upon arriving at the hotel, they conveniently had a casual meal.

The quality of Haicheng’s hotels had drastically improved, climbing more than just a rung or two on the ladder.

It was Gu Chen’s first time feeling that this could truly be called a hotel.

Compared to this, the hotels he had visited before seemed too childish, almost like large hostels.

Many services you’d expect from a hotel were often absent.

Yet, they charged the same fees as hotels, with quite expensive rates.

"I inquired a bit, and today seems to be the internal meeting of the Qianyang Commerce Association.

It’s mainly a gathering, and I hear it’s their tenth anniversary.

So today is quite important for them, they’ve invited a lot of wealthy people, even those powerful individuals are all present.

Attending today’s banquet, theoretically speaking, if they really wanted to coerce Boss Gu into joining, they should have picked another day.

I don’t know why they chose today but it’s good, Boss Gu can be cautious when going and they probably won’t and dare not do anything."

At this moment, Xiao Wang was explaining the main focus of today’s event to Gu Chen.

It turned out that today’s event organized by the Qianyang Commerce Association wasn’t for anything else but their internal celebration.

This came as a surprise to Gu Chen; he had thought it might be some secretive location where everyone would sit down to discuss affairs, not expecting that they would choose such a place, so their intentions were now unknown.

After all, it was unlikely they would try to coerce or entice him to join their commerce association in front of everyone.

"No worries, when the time comes, I’ll go in with you. We’ll see whether it’s a mule or a horse; pull it out for a walk and we’ll know. No matter what their motives are, we won’t let them succeed," Old Yuan said to Gu Chen, sounding quite relaxed.

The impression felt as if they didn’t take the Qianyang Commerce Association seriously at all.

But Gu Chen was fully aware that, given the circumstances, there really wouldn’t be any trouble today.

Of course, Gu Chen also reckoned it could be that they didn’t consider him significant at all; perhaps for them, it was sufficient to casually chat with someone of his stature at any event, which was why it wasn’t so formal.

Gu Chen truly felt that it might just be as he conjectured; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so frivolous.

"No matter what they think, we must be careful and cautious. Offending them isn’t scary, but the most important thing is to make sure we return home safely," Old Yuan expressed his core thoughts at the moment.

Regardless of the outcome or what they do, being able to return home safely is best, and there’s no need to worry about the rest.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded seriously in agreement.

"Rest assured, no matter what happens, our goal is to return home. We’re mainly here to see their attitude this time. If their attitude isn’t right, then there’s no need to talk. I’m not willing to give up even a penny of interest in the bar," Gu Chen said, after which Old Yuan nodded.

Having known Gu Chen for such a long time, Old Yuan understood what kind of person he was — unyielding to force but willing to listen to reason. If they were planning on being tough with Gu Chen, he would certainly not agree.

"I will wait outside for you. In Haicheng, I have a few brothers. Though not particularly influential, they certainly can exert some effort when needed," Xiao Wang said at that moment from the side.

What did this mean? Of course, it was quite obvious.

Exerting effort basically meant fists. In other words, what he was offering was security services.

"As much as possible, I’d prefer not to start a conflict; after all, it wouldn’t look good if so many people really started fighting."
