Chapter 719: 714 Haicheng Buddha Jumps Over the Wall

Seeing him so calm and collected.

It was quite different from what Gu Chen had imagined before.

At this moment, Gu Chen didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

Xiong Qianyang gave him an even more mysterious feeling.

Right at that moment, Old Yuan came to Gu Chen’s side.

After he arrived, he asked Gu Chen, "I saw him looking for you just now, what did he say to you?"

"He didn’t say much, just apologized to me, said that the owners of those three nightclubs did wrong, and that he had already criticized them severely. Then he said he owed me a favor and to not leave when the banquet ends later, as he wants to talk again."

After Gu Chen finished speaking, Old Yuan instantly understood what he meant.

"This guy values your potential, it’s obvious he’s planning to recruit you into the fold."

He too was rather familiar with Xiong Qianyang.

Thus, he could see what Xiong Qianyang was really planning to do.

At this point, Gu Chen was also quite surprised; in fact, he hadn’t thought that much earlier.

He didn’t expect Xiong Qianyang to be so magnanimous.

However, he could guess that Xiong Qianyang’s true purpose was definitely not just that. There must be other thoughts behind it, perhaps it was all just part of his scheme.

"When dealing with someone like him, we should be more careful and not fall for his tricks."

At this moment, Old Yuan kindly reminded Gu Chen, worried that Gu Chen might believe him because of that sentence,

"Don’t worry, I’m not a fool, nor do I believe whatever he says. I just find him quite interesting, different from what I had previously thought,"

Gu Chen casually laughed at this point, knowing full well that such people were impenetrable to him.

They appear when there is profit to be made, and will certainly disappear when one has no value to them,

So dealing with people like him was not a good thing for oneself.

"I saw quite a few people from the business association today, two of them were quite surprising."

Old Yuan suddenly said this to Gu Chen, who became curious after hearing it, not understanding what he meant.

"Look over there, do you see that person in the red clothes?" Old Yuan pointed toward the distance at that moment.

Gu Chen glanced over and indeed there was a very young man in red clothes.

"This person is named Tong Jingxin." Old Yuan introduced him to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was taken aback upon hearing this.

"What does he do?" Gu Chen was curious.

He was very clear that the person before him was no ordinary individual, otherwise, Old Yuan wouldn’t have gone out of his way to mention him.

"This person is far from simple. The Tong Family has their own business in Yancheng.

The people of the Tong Family are all either rich or noble, and even the relatives of the Tong Family have their connections spread across various cities, all leading enterprises.

Theoretically, their family wouldn’t have any contact with Qianyang Commerce Association.

However, I didn’t expect him to come. I heard from others before that he seemed to be studying abroad.

He hasn’t come back for a long time; he should be in his thirties by now.

But he still looks very young. If he has come to Xiong Qianyang, and if I’m not mistaken, there will soon be a big move."

As he said this to Gu Chen, Gu Chen also understood what he meant.

According to Old Yuan, the backgrounds of the people surnamed Tong are quite exceptional.

However, this seemed to have nothing to do with Gu Chen. It was also highly unlikely for Gu Chen to come into contact with such people.

"He shouldn’t have anything to do with us, right?" Gu Chen had said at the time.

"Right, he really doesn’t have much to do with us, but if you want to try connecting with him, you could give it a shot. Look over there, so many people are fawning over him, trying to win him over. His family’s background is something many people want to draw close to."

After he said that, Gu Chen let out a chuckle.

"Don’t you know me by now? Do you really think I would go look for him?"

After Gu Chen said that, he just laughed. After all, Old Yuan had simply mentioned it casually to Gu Chen.

He surely knew that Gu Chen would never go looking for that guy. Given Gu Chen’s personality, he disdained to solicit such relationships.

On the basis of his own personal capabilities, Gu Chen had so many options available to him that there was simply no need to curry favor with such a person.

And Gu Chen was also proud and self-confident.

"If a company wants to develop healthily, in the end, it relies on its products and capabilities. What’s the use of just ingratiating oneself with these people?"

At this point, Gu Chen let out a helpless sigh, even finding these people slightly pitiful. The pitiful aspect was that every entrepreneur seemed to regard networking and expanding their connections as the magic spell for their business.

Yet in reality, for a company to truly grow, it should focus on improving is products, instead of centering all its efforts on this.

Gu Chen thought they were quite pitiful, but he kept these thoughts to himself.

He was very clear that everyone has their own choices to make.

And companies like theirs would sooner or later be eliminated.

In today’s conditions, many people undoubtedly depended heavily on such deeds.

For them, relying on such means was the only way to carve out a path for themselves.

Even if it was an unhealthy practice.

"Ah well, you and I talking won’t change anything. Let them do whatever they want. We should just do our own thing without minding them," he said with a smile to Gu Chen at this point.

Gu Chen nodded when he heard this, understanding the point.

One can manage oneself, but cannot control what others choose to do.

"Let’s just eat and drink lightly since it’s all free anyway," he suggested to Gu Chen at that moment.

Gu Chen chuckled upon hearing this and then ignored everything else, beginning to stroll around the banquet with Old Yuan.

They ate what should be eaten, drank what should be drunk, just as Old Yuan had said, since it was indeed free.

Of course, the two of them were not there to take advantage of this; they had been in such a rush when they arrived, only having lunch in the morning and actually going on an empty stomach in the afternoon.

Sampling the banquet’s cuisine, Gu Chen was actually somewhat surprised.

It could be said that in Chuan City, he had tried all sorts of restaurants and hotels, and the taste was really indescribable, at least compared to his own restaurant, it was a world apart.

But Haicheng was indeed worthy of its name,

The food at the banquet, compared to his Qiwei Vegetarian, whilst it wasn’t better, definitely wasn’t inferior to Qiwei Vegetarian either.

It also gave Gu Chen a bit of a shake regarding his own future.

There was one dish that Gu Chen felt was pretty innovative when he ate it at the hotel.

It was the famed dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

After trying it, Gu Chen thought to himself that the ingredients used in Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were essentially all delicacies from the mountains and seas.
