Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Suyun Province Number One and Number Two!

Swipe, swipe, swipe, Gu Chen sent out several messages in quick succession.

"Don’t make a fuss, everybody, listen to me."

"I met Xu Qianli at the Shangri-La Hotel in the capital of Suyun Province, and this guy was surrounded by a whole bunch of beauties."

"He brought some beauties to the hotel, claiming he had arranged to meet friends, you know who they were? He boasted he was dining with our Provincial Party Secretary and Governor of Suyun Province. Isn’t that laughable?"

"Even if he really made it smoothly onto the political path, given his age, at best he might be a head of a department, how could he qualify to dine with the first and second in command of the province?"

"What’s more, I arrived at the hotel first, only to find out the restaurant was booked exclusively for VIP guests, not serving the general public."

"So I’m guessing, Xu Qianli couldn’t possibly be starting a business as a pimp, or specifically ferrying women into the hotel to entertain the rich, could he?"

"He was caught by me and lost face, so he blurted out whatever came to mind, and ended up boasting too much."

"I secretly took photos and have already sent them. Take a look for yourselves, how provocative these women are, especially the one with the white flesh all over her body and the tall ones, they’re outrageously provocative, obviously hookers, I’m absolutely sure."

Gu Chen typed swiftly, sending out a flurry of messages, making no attempt to hide his suspicion of Xu Qianli.

Just now, upon their meeting, seeing the stunning women with Xu Qianli, he immediately thought of this possibility.

With someone like Xu Qianli, how could there possibly be so many top-notch beauties around him if not for pimping?

This guy used to be the talk of the school, and now he’s reduced to pimping—it’s hilariously pathetic.

He wanted to laugh himself, but more importantly, he wanted all the alumni to know the current status of Xu Qianli, so he could never hold his head up again!

Gu Chen was fully expecting the alumni to join him in mocking Xu Qianli, but when his messages went out, the first reply made his brow furrow.

"Gu Chen, keep a respectful tone. It’s okay if you dig your own grave, but don’t drag us down with you! Do you know who the tall, leggy beauty you called provocative is? She is the precious daughter of the top-ranking Lin Family from Beijing, named Lin Monong! If you dare call her a whore, are you looking for death?"

"Among these women, aside from the one covered in white flesh, which one isn’t distinguished in temperament? Especially the sweet-faced beauty holding Xu Qian’s arm, her demeanor even outshines Miss Lin herself, she cannot be just anyone."

"I knew it, how could Xu Qian possibly be pimping? Gu Chen, you are really courting death, to slander someone like that! I’m done with you, I’m seriously ending our friendship!"

"I recognize the person holding onto Xu Qianli’s arm, she resembles the wife of Commander Ye Zhanhua of the East Sea Theater who once appeared at a banquet. I saw it in the news; she’s like a carbon copy of Mrs. Ye, it’s very likely she is Commander Ye’s daughter!"

"So, Xu Qian managed to court Commander Ye’s daughter. You actually slandered the daughter of the East Sea Theater’s commander as a whore, and the potential son-in-law of the commander as a pimp, Gu Chen, your audacity knows no bounds. I’m amazed, I’ve never seen someone so eager to die!"

"Gu Chen, you better watch yourself. We dare not associate with someone like you. From today onward, I’m cutting ties with you too!"

"Same here."

"Same here."

"..."

In just a short amount of time, nearly all the alumni had declared they were cutting ties with Gu Chen.

You couldn’t even imagine how ugly Gu Chen’s face became.

He should have known how crucial the Peking University alumni network was, a treasure trove of connections that could offer him unimaginable assistance in his future endeavors. And now, just because he targeted Xu Qianli, he had botched it all. What a loss.

Impossible, how could Xu Qianli possibly be the son-in-law of Commander Ye, and that tall beauty, how could she be the Lin Family’s heiress? There must be a mistake, definitely!

Gu Chen refused to believe it, no matter what.

The elevator had already reached the floor where the restaurant was located. Xu Qianli, leading the way, headed for the restaurant, where the secretaries of the Provincial Party Secretary Meng Yi and the Governor Sun Qiuyuan were already waiting.

Upon Xu Qianli’s arrival, the two secretaries immediately greeted him with smiles and respectfully ushered Xu Qianli and his party into the restaurant.

Gu Chen, who did not recognize the two high-ranking secretaries, swaggered along after them and soon entered a room.

In the spacious room, Meng Yi and Sun Qiuyuan, along with their families, were waiting with anticipation.

As Xu Qianli made his entrance, the two men immediately approached, exchanged warm pleasantries with him, and busied themselves introducing their respective families to Xu Qianli.

Xu Qianli, with a smile, shook hands with them in turn and also introduced Ding Meixin and the others to them.

Even in the presence of the number one and two of Suyun Province, Xu Qianli remained composed and at ease.

Xu Qianli was calm; Gu Chen was completely flabbergasted.

He had wholly doubted that Xu Qianli’s meeting was with the top two officials of Suyun Province, but now, seeing them in person, he had no choice but to believe it.

The VIPs in the private room were indeed Provincial Party Secretary Meng Yi and Governor Sun Qiuyuan.

Moreover, they had arrived first, with their families. This was the utmost respect shown to Xu Qianli.

Watching them greet Xu Qianli with such humility, without showing any airs of their high positions, was like watching elders warmly receiving a younger family member. It was excessively cordial.

Witnessing this scene, Gu Chen felt like his teeth were on edge, wishing he could slap himself.

He had paraded his own sense of superiority in front of Xu Qianli, while relentlessly mocking him.

And now, he found that Xu Qianli’s background was so formidable, with close ties to Meng Yi and Sun Qiuyuan. The fact that he had boasted and ridiculed Xu Qianli, even sharing it in the alumni group, was utterly laughable.

Gu Chen felt like a complete clown.

At that moment, Meng Yi’s gaze fell on Gu Chen as he asked Xu Qianli, "Who is this gentleman?"

Xu Qianli said, "Not very well-acquainted."

With that statement, "Not very well-acquainted," Meng Yi understood and signaled his secretary with a glance.

Meng Yi’s secretary, who had initially thought Gu Chen was invited by Xu Qianli, realized now he was an uninvited guest and approached him with a cold demeanor, "This is a private gathering, irrelevant individuals, please excuse yourselves!"

Seeing the golden opportunity to align himself with Meng Yi and Sun Qiuyuan slipping away, Gu Chen quickly addressed Xu Qianli with eager words, "Xu Qianli, Xu the Phenomenal, we’re old classmates after all. You can’t just ignore me upon seeing me, can you? Could you not invite me for a meal? If I offended you before, please be magnanimous and forgive me. After all, we’re old classmates, aren’t we?"

Xu Qianli replied indifferently, "No, I’m just a matchmaker, I can’t afford to be classmates with a tycoon who owns over a billion in assets and has such powerful connections."

Gu Chen was shocked to his core, chilled to the bone.

Xu Qianli wasn’t added to the alumni group, so how did he know what he had said in there?
