Chapter 770: 765 Mysterious guest stealing the spotlight

If any normal person dared to curse like that, they’d probably face revenge from that guy we just saw.

But since the one who made the remark was the Chairman, it seems like nothing will come of it.

"Let’s go, we should head into the banquet and take a look, there should be something different there."

He said this to Gu Chen at that moment.

Immediately, the two of them headed straight inside.

The chubby kid didn’t continue to follow them at that time, looking like he was a bit busy, so he left early.

Upon entering the banquet hall, they saw that it was truly a sea of people.

It could be said that everyone who came to the banquet was gathered in this very hall.

And inside this banquet hall was where the real main event seemed to take place.

When the Chairman arrived, a lot of people immediately surrounded him, each bearing a look of joy on their faces as if they were about to clink glasses with the Chairman and have a heart-to-heart conversation into the night.

However, faced with so many people, the Chairman seemed to be slightly troubled.

"Who would’ve thought, here it comes again, it’s like this every day."

At that moment, the Chairman whispered to Gu Chen, speaking so quietly, but Gu Chen heard everything.

After hearing the Chairman’s words, Gu Chen immediately understood what the Chairman’s everyday life must be like.

If he wasn’t wrong, the Chairman probably encountered endless people putting on acts in front of him, all trying to cozy up to him.

Observing such a scene, Gu Chen realized everything in his heart.

Thinking about it, Gu Chen felt it was very normal after all, given the Chairman’s status and standing.

It was perfectly normal for locals to want to get close to the Chairman, as there was no downside for them.

"Long time no see, long time no see! I’ve missed you so much. We agreed to go fishing last time, and you didn’t show up. Let’s make a plan to swim together this year when we get the chance."

"Oh my, let me see who’s here. Come on, announce yourself! You don’t call for such a long time, really..."

"Right, I came well ahead of time just to wait for you, what else do you think I’d be here for?"

...

At that time, Gu Chen just quietly listened to each person who approached the Chairman to strike up a conversation, and those who spoke.

Gu Chen could clearly see two words etched on each of their faces.

Lying.

Yes, everything they said was a lie, not a single word genuinely came from the heart.

Yet, it appeared that day by day, they didn’t realize this at all and were deeply immersed in such a way of interaction.

Observing this, Gu Chen closed his eyes and thought carefully.

He had wanted to give a reminder, but soon Gu Chen thought of the story of the big fish eating the little fish.

He had once conducted an experiment where he saw a big fish eating a smaller one. He tried to rescue the little fish.

But Gu Chen quickly discovered that the little guy bit his finger so hard it bled.

At that moment, Gu Chen seemed to suddenly understand what "survival of the fittest" meant.

So at this moment, Gu Chen didn’t think too much about it.

Because he was very powerful, he believed he had the strength to get involved, but precisely because he was so weak, he couldn’t stop others from hurting him.

And while they were busy flattering the chairman incessantly, the chairman himself wasn’t idle either.

He kept introducing Gu Chen to the people around him, as if he wanted the whole world to know who Gu Chen was.

When Gu Chen saw this scene, he felt somewhat uneasy, and there was even a bit of small embarrassment.

He rarely frequented such high-end venues, and now faced with the spotlight and the warm applause from everyone, he was slightly incredulous.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the second person in charge of Maotai Liquor, Gu Chen."

Gu Chen suddenly blurted out such a sentence at that moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, it immediately drew the very serious gazes of those people.

The feeling was as if they were trying to see whether Gu Chen was feigning illness or not.

And if they were feigning illness, those people would turn around and leave without even looking back.

They were all well aware of who the real person in charge of Maotai Liquor was.

For a long time, Maotai Liquor had only one person in charge, and that was the chairman himself.

Now, Gu Chen suddenly claimed that he was the second person in charge, which naturally made it difficult for everyone to be convinced.

However, at this moment, the chubby kid hurried onto the stage.

As soon as he got there, he eagerly said, "Let me say a few words first. Our Mr. Gu is not only the second person in charge of Maotai Liquor, but he also has many businesses overseas. It can be said that his business is worldwide, not to be underestimated at all."

After he stepped up and said these words, the originally strange gazes from those looking at Gu Chen gradually began to change.

If the chubby kid said it, it certainly wasn’t a lie, this situation must be true.

It made them feel extremely amazed.

Gu Chen completely emerged out of nowhere; they hadn’t even heard of the name Gu Chen before this.

So for the moment, it seemed they were all still struggling to accept it.

"And tonight, Mr. Gu Chen brings us a major surprise for this banquet. His arrival lights up our gathering.

But this is not the highlight of our banquet tonight.

In the real highlight of tonight, there will be a mysterious guest joining our banquet soon.

I’m telling you, this mysterious guest is the one who proactively reached out to us, not someone our banquet invited.

It’s not that the mysterious guest isn’t qualified, but the scale of our banquet just isn’t there yet."

"However, this mysterious guest insisted on attending our event.

By this, it is evident just how important our many years of hosting banquets, time and again, have been."

He became somewhat excited as he said this to everyone present at that moment. Initially, everyone was curious about the identity of Gu Chen and wanted to know what kind of person he was.

But now, his few words had completely diverted everyone’s attention; no one cared about what the deal with Gu Chen was anymore.

Everyone started to wonder, who was this so-called mysterious guest?
