Chapter 772: 767 Auction Live

With the current strength of the Tong Family, even the slightest foot movement could shake the local landscape.

At this moment, Gu Chen had to say to him, "If you can come here, why can’t I?"

"With your abilities, you’re just here to freeload food and drink at this banquet.

Do you have any other capabilities?"

He said directly to Gu Chen at this time.

It felt as if he was looking down on Gu Chen, barely worth his notice.

The disdain was so intense that he seemed as if he wanted to deal with Gu Chen right then and there.

Just then, the chairman sitting beside Gu Chen suddenly stood up.

"Mr. Tong should mind his words and his actions when he’s outside.

Even though we are not in Yancheng, we can still treat guests with courtesy,

but if Mr. Gu seeks trouble, we will have no choice but to respond accordingly.

We hope Mr. Gu understands that your current actions are very dangerous."

The chairman addressed him very formally at this time.

The feeling was as if he was dealing with him right there and then.

Tong Jingxin, upon hearing the chairman speak this way, was somewhat surprised; of course, he knew who the chairman was, as well as his status—he just didn’t expect the chairman to assist Gu Chen under these circumstances.

"I didn’t see that coming. It looks like your old tricks of deception are at play again," he suddenly said to Gu Chen.

Out of the blue, he accused Gu Chen of bluffing and deceiving.

"Please, don’t spout nonsense, Mr. Gu is our company’s second-largest shareholder.

Mr. Gu’s trouble is our company’s trouble.

If you wish to avoid unnecessary troubles,

please return to the homepage at this time and stop the ongoing disputes. If you continue this contentious stance, we do not rule out the possibility of suspending today’s banquet to address your disputes," the hotel staff interjected at this point.

The hotel staff, after all, felt anxious that the situation was escalating as if a fight was about to break out.

When Tong Jingxin learned that Gu Chen owned a 20% stake in Maotai Liquor, his eyes lit up.

A full 20%—that’s worth how much money, and what kind of status and attitude does such a significant stake confer in a company.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why the old chairman had been so discourteous in speaking to him—it seemed he was indeed only aiding Gu Chen.

"Even if it’s your Maotai Liquor Company, so what? Do you know the feud between this kid and me? Let me tell you, not even two Maotai Liquor Companies would be enough to quell my rage!" he said with a very tough demeanor to the chairman.

The chairman was somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

The onlookers around them also gasped in astonishment.

No one expected that under such circumstances, Tong Jingxin would flatly disregard the chairman’s Maotai Corporation.

"This kid has offended me, and I have beaten him to the point where he can’t even leave his local area.

Now it turns out you’re aiding and abetting him.

If you love helping so much, it won’t be long before you pay the price," he suddenly said to the chairman at this time.

He was a very astute man, discerning at this point what Gu Chen’s visit really meant.

Previously, Gu Chen’s liquor subsidiary in Haicheng did not launch successfully, so now he’s here, but he hasn’t been a fool over these ten years; he also figured out what this means.

He guessed that Maotai Liquor might be helping Gu Chen weather this crisis.

It was at this juncture that the original instigator, the chubby little fellow, quickly spoke up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let’s stop here. There’s no need to continue arguing. Today is a day for us all to be joyful — why make everyone unhappy?"

He said this to everyone present at the time.

Upon hearing this, everyone indeed had no objections because there were no conflicts among them; however, the real crux of the matter did not lie with them, but rather with the individuals at the forefront: Chairman Gu Chen, Tong Jingxin, and the three of them.

"It’s utterly ridiculous — I can’t believe you Maotai Liquor would dare to meddle in these affairs.

Do you have any idea what price you’ll have to pay to withstand the foolishness you’ve just committed?"

At this time, Tong Jingxin said with a sneer beside them.

It felt as if he had Gu Chen completely figured out.

He was eager to know what was going through Gu Chen’s mind, hence his confidence.

Upon hearing his words, Gu Chen just laughed coldly.

"You’re so confident in yourself, don’t you ever leave yourself a way out?"

Gu Chen also chose to confront head-on at this time.

The reason was straightforward because from the words that guy had just spoken,

Gu Chen could basically tell that he was not taken seriously at all.

The tone of his speech was incredibly arrogant.

That is to say, there was simply no possibility of reconciliation between him and that guy.

When two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt.

Now, Gu Chen hoped the injured one wouldn’t be himself.

"Tong Jingxin, don’t think that just because you have some clout in Yancheng, you can throw your weight around here.

Today I put my words here: Our company has already entered into a very deep partnership with Gu Chen.

And we have bound ourselves together.

If you insist on looking for trouble,

then you’re looking for trouble with Maotai Corporation.

We’ll just wait and see who can outlast who in the end."

The chairman spoke with great aplomb but also very solemnly at this time.

It seemed as if what he had just said was beyond question.

After hearing the chairman’s words, that guy’s face also looked grim with clenched teeth.

"Fine, you’re the first to dare threaten me like this."

At this time, Tong Jingxin’s face was nearly turning green with fury.

Seeing that they were clearly about to come to blows, the chubby little fellow hurriedly intervened once more.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let’s leave it at that for today. We can slowly discuss any matters in the future.

By the way, Mr. Tong, haven’t you forgotten what you said?

Your favorite jewel, the one from overseas that has just arrived — weren’t you planning to auction it? Let’s start the auction right now."

The little guy addressed Tong Jingxin in this way at this moment.

After hearing this, Tong Jingxin’s expression gradually regained a rational look.

As if he recognized what was more important.
