Chapter 188: Chapter 0188: The Show Begins

"I..."

Faced with the questioning from the crowd, Zhao Wuji was utterly helpless. He looked at Chu Ge and said with a bitter smile, "I never thought there would be a day when I couldn’t even prove my own identity."

"Didn’t you still have your ID card?" Chu Ge said with a smile.

But Zhao Wuji shook his head with a smile and closed his eyes in the same way Chu Ge did.

After all, for people of their standing, these things were at most a quaint topic of conversation, something they might chuckle about when brought up, and certainly not something they’d seriously pull out their ID card to prove.

As the two parties involved fell silent, the whispering around them eventually faded away after a little while.

"Yo, Li’s back!" At that moment, Zhang Cheng suddenly turned his head towards the aisle and said with a smile, "Li, you came back too late; you missed a good show."

"A good show?" Li Guangcheng smiled and sat down next to Xiao Jie, "What good show?"

"You don’t know." Zhang Cheng leaned in, seeming very serious: "It’s still that same poor kid. Just now, a middle-aged man walked over, probably with him, and that kid actually claimed that the middle-aged man was Zhao Wuji. The key thing is, that middle-aged uncle didn’t even admit it. He shamelessly claimed to be Zhao Wuji, without an ounce of shame!"

"Hm?" Li Guangcheng’s brow slightly furrowed upon hearing this.

Unlike the onlookers, Zhao Wuji was, after all, his direct superior, especially having shaken hands with him and personally complimented him.

Thus, in Li Guangcheng’s heart, Zhao Wuji was already his idol, naturally intolerant of any disrespect towards him.

At that moment, he slapped the armrest and turned around: "Friend, you can brag all you want, but isn’t it a bit much to involve Mr. Zhao?"

However, just as Li Guangcheng was about to say more, Zhao Wuji happened to open his eyes, and their gazes intertwined in midair.

"Li, it’s this man," Zhang Cheng pointed at Zhao Wuji beside Li Guangcheng, saying, "It was him, who shamelessly claimed to be Zhao Wuji just now!"

"Shut your mouth!" To Zhang Cheng’s surprise, instead of confronting the man, Li Guangcheng turned and scolded him.

"Li..." Zhang Cheng’s face changed.

However, Li Guangcheng had no time for anything else and stood up directly from his seat, circled around, and came next to Zhao Wuji, "Mr... Mr. Zhao, what brings you here?"

"Mr. Zhao?"

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a second, but seeing Li Guangcheng’s respectful manner and thinking of this honorific, he then seemed to realize something, his face turning pale.

Not just Zhang Cheng, everyone present was stunned.

What did that young man just say? Mr. Zhao?

Zhao Wuji looked at Li Guangcheng with some confusion and asked softly, "You are?"

"I am Li Guangcheng, that Xiao Li from the Tianrui Group, the assistant manager of the financial department!" Li Guangcheng quickly introduced himself, looking at Zhao Wuji and saying, "After your speech, you shook hands with me, saying that I should work hard for a bright future!"

"Oh, Xiao Li, I remember now!" Zhao Wuji appeared to suddenly realize, although it was uncertain whether he actually remembered or was just pretending.

"Yes, that’s me, you actually remember me?" Li Guangcheng was so excited his face flushed, and his hands clenched into fists.

"Nonsense." Chu Ge slightly opened his eyes and muttered, "With just the information you gave yourself, I could say I remember you."

Of course, Li Guangcheng, in his excitement, could not hear these words. At this moment, he was basking in the surprise of meeting his idol.

The murmurs from the bystanders also started again; they never imagined that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man was actually the chairman of Tianrui Bank, known as God of Wealth Zhao, Zhao Wuji!

Suddenly, those in the vicinity looked over differently, some even itching to move closer, not for anything else but for the opportunity to exchange a few words with Zhao Wuji, even just to pass him a business card would be good.

Zhao Wuji seemed to have anticipated this situation and cleared his throat, saying, "Alright, I don’t want to talk about anything on this outing. Everyone, please mind your own business, no need to come over and introduce yourselves."

Hearing this, many were reluctant but chose not to approach.

Of course, making an impression on Zhao Wuji would be great, but if they ended up Botching it and earning his dislike, that could truly spell trouble.

"Now do you believe me?" Chu Ge opened his eyes, looking at Li Guangcheng with a sly smile, "I told you, I know our big chairman Mr. Zhao, and I even borrowed twenty billion from him. It’s just that I don’t know when Mr. Zhao would like me to repay it."

Upon hearing Chu Ge’s words, Zhao Wuji gave a wry smile and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Oh my, what is Mr. Chu talking about? Consider those twenty billion my welcome gift to Mr. Chu, please never mention repaying it again!"

The subsequent events were much simpler. Everyone involved was essentially good-natured, just a bit too proud.

Seeing this, they all apologized openly. As for Xiao Jie, ever since she saw that Chu Ge truly knew Zhao Wuji, her eyes couldn’t help but shimmer with admiration when she looked at him.

However, to her chagrin, after Chu Ge briefly chatted with a few people, he started to rest with his eyes closed.

As for Li Guangcheng and the others, with the actual person of interest here, they naturally paid no more attention to Chu Ge, all trying desperately to showcase their talents to Zhao Wuji in hopes of making a lasting impression. Chu Ge, of course, relished the peace and quiet.

The plane that took off in the morning didn’t land at the airport until around three or four o’clock in the afternoon. When the broadcast announced the arrival, the young people finally stood up and reluctantly bade farewell to Zhao Wuji.

Outside the airplane, there was a buzz of noise, and even someone as composed as Chu Ge couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

Outside the airport, a fleet of black sedans, dozens of them, formed two lines. Beside each car stood two sturdy men in black clothes and sunglasses, one a driver, the other a bodyguard.

Watching Zhao Wuji and his entourage being escorted by the group, Li Guangcheng couldn’t help but exclaim, "A true man indeed! Worthy of Mr. Zhao!"

However, the next scene nearly made his jaw drop.

Zhao Wuji personally opened the car door for Chu Ge, then stood nearby with a slight bow. Chu Ge nodded at him and then sat inside the vehicle.

On Li Guangcheng’s side, there was silence.

Finally, after dozens of seconds, Li Guangcheng turned and asked dully, "He is... that country bumpkin from before?"
