Chapter 475: Chapter 475 The Big Shots of Lin Jiang_1

Early the next morning, Fang Qing came to Su Chengyu’s house, indignantly demanding, "When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?"

"I forgot." Su Chengyu said as he lay on a lounge chair beside the swimming pool.

"You! Indeed, you’ve never cared about me!"

Fang Qing stomped her foot, turned around in a huff. Su Chengyu got up and hugged Fang Qing from behind, she struggled and said, "Let go of me."

"No."

"Rascal!" Fang Qing cursed.

"Then why don’t you arrest me, Officer Fang." Su Chengyu responded playfully.

"Hate! All you know is how to bully me." Fang Qing said, puffing up in anger.

Su Chengyu turned Fang Qing towards him and said, "I came back quite late the day before yesterday, then spent yesterday dealing with the Lin family’s affairs. Someone might be coming to cause me trouble today, so I need to wait at home."

"Who is causing you trouble?" Fang Qing asked.

"You’ll know when they arrive." Su Chengyu laughed.

At that moment, Yu Yanshu came out holding a plate of fruit for Su Chengyu. After she left, Fang Qing hastily asked, "Who is she?"

"My apprentice."

"Who are you trying to fool?" Fang Qing, much like Liu Yan, knew Su Chengyu too well. Su Chengyu had no choice but to explain Yu Yanshu’s background to Fang Qing again.

Fang Qing was somewhat skeptical. She sat next to Su Chengyu, peeled a tangerine section, and put it in Su Chengyu’s mouth, asking, "Where have you been this past while?"

"Traveling around."

"Have you gathered all the medicinal herbs needed to revive Chu Xue?" asked Fang Qing.

"Only the last kind of herb is missing." Su Chengyu answered.

"Then why did you suddenly come back? Just for the Lin family’s affairs?"

"I only found out about the Lin family’s situation after I came back. Obviously, I came back because I missed you." Su Chengyu said, lifting his hand to pinch Fang Qing’s cute nose.

"Sweet talker, I’m not going to believe your nonsense. You’re such a philanderer, who knows how many women you’ve been flirting with while you’ve been away!" Fang Qing retorted coyly.

With Su Chengyu’s return, Fang Qing didn’t feel like going to work anymore and stayed at his villa to keep him company.

"Wasn’t villa No.2 always vacant? Why is it so lively today? I think I saw Zhou Chaoming’s car driving in."

Nearing noon, Su Chengyu stood on the third-floor balcony, looking a distance away towards villa No.2. It was festively decorated and bustling with activity. The entrance was filled with luxury cars, and many more kept arriving.

"A big shot has moved into villa No.2. They officially moved in today, so all the influential people in Linjiang are rushing to give their gifts. My father was going to come, but this big shot’s birthday celebration is in a while, and by then, all the high-profile people from Jiangdong should come to congratulate him." Fang Qing said..

"Even your father wanted to come personally? Who is this big shot? Such a high-profile person, why would he move to Linjiang?" Su Chengyu asked.

"His name is Xu Shenghe. He’s originally from Linjiang and used to serve as head of Linjiang City. He subsequently rose steadily through the ranks to become the top official in Jiangnan, then moved to Kyoto for a few leisurely years at a very high level. He’s been retired for several years now. He’s probably nostalgic in his old age and wants to return to his roots, so he moved back to Linjiang."

"Elder Xu is probably the most accomplished person to come out of Linjiang. Now that he’s returned, he is highly esteemed, and the common people all line up to welcome him." Fang Qing said.

Su Chengyu gave a small nod and said, "This is indeed some major figure, no wonder everyone is lining up to ingratiate themselves."

"Do you want to prepare a gift and pay a visit too?" Fang Qing asked.

"I think I’ll pass. I don’t have any ambitions in officialdom," Su Chengyu laughed.

"My father’s point is, this could be an opportunity for you. Elder Xu is not just a man with vast connections in politics. His eldest son is the Deputy Grand Airspace Officer of Jiangnan Dragon Soul. His daughter is married to Duan Changkong, the Sect Leader of Jianghuai’s top sect, the Unparalleled Sect. His nephew, Duan Tianyang is considered the top young talent in Jianghuai and also the youngest Great Grandmaster."

"Elder Xu’s other son is also a high-ranking official in Jiangnan and there’s a strong chance he’ll take over from Xu, becoming the head of Jiangnan. If you establish a good relationship with Elder Xu, the Black Dragon Commerce Association couldn’t touch you. The Xu family is a dependable and solid backing in the Four Provinces of Longjiang."

Upon learning that Xu Shenghe was moving back to Linjiang, Fang Zhenhai phoned Fang Qing and asked her to relay this suggestion to Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu had heard of the Unparalleled Sect’s reputation back in Jianghuai, as well as Duan Tianyang. He just never met them before in person.

He didn’t expect such figures from Linjiang.

"My future father-in-law is thoughtful, even pointing out a clear path for me. Be sure to express my gratitude to him," Su Chengyu said.

"Who’s your future father-in-law? Everyone in Linjiang knows it’s Lin Zhiyuan!" Fang Qing retorted with a pout, though she was secretly pleased.

Su Chengyu smiled, saying, "I won’t be joining the fray today. When Elder Xu holds his birthday banquet, I’ll prepare a grand gift and pay a visit then! By that time, your father will be there too, it’d be better if he were the one to introduce me."

"Alright then," Fang Qing responded.

"Will you stay here tonight?" Su Chengyu whispered into Fang Qing’s ear.

Fang Qing, of course, understood his intent. She pressed her lips together and hummed a soft affirmation.

At Yulong Bay Villa No.2, there were numerous guests and the gifts were piling up. Xu Shenghe came out of the house, followed by two people, his nephew Duan Tianyang, and his granddaughter Xu Qianxue.

The mayor of Linjiang City, Feng Qian, along with several subordinates, hurried to greet Xu Shenghe, hoping to butter him up for a chance at promotion.

Stone Sword Edge also brought a Deputy Grand Marshal to present a gift and offer congratulations.

Stroking his beard, Xu Shenghe said, "I am from Linjiang. Now that I’m old, I want to return to my roots, to spend my remaining years back in Linjiang, living a peaceful life. I am very gratified. The people of Linjiang have welcomed me warmly and all of you have been enthusiastic. You are all prominent figures in Linjiang. The future development and construction of Linjiang will still rely on you."

"Elder Xu, you don’t show your age at all! You’re in better shape than those twenty years your junior," Week Chaoming flattered.

"Elder Xu, your choice to return to Linjiang is our fortune. In the eyes of the people of Linjiang, you are our pride," Feng Qian also chimed in quickly.

Xu Shenghe smiled in satisfaction and said to Feng Qian, "Mayor Feng, I don’t know anyone present here today. You can introduce them to me."

Feng Qian introduced some of the important leaders of Linjiang City to Xu, followed by those from Dragon Soul, Zhou Chaoming, the Lin family, and other influential figures in Linjiang.

All came forward to greet Xu Shenghe, but in reality, Xu didn’t remember many of them. He let Feng Qian do the introductions, simply to go through the motions.

Feng Qian understood this, introducing only around twenty people. The rest were not even afforded the honour of an introduction.

"I’m old and my memory isn’t what it used to be, we will have time to become acquainted later. Right, I heard there is an exceptional young man in Linjiang recently, what’s his name... I can’t remember!" Xu Shenghe said.

"Elder Xu, are you referring to Su Chengyu?" Zhou Chaoming promptly said."

"Yes, him! Has he come yet? Let me have a look at him. I appreciate young talents with high potential the most!" Xu Shenghe said.
