Chapter 340: Chapter 341: Blocked by Someone
Gu Changsheng smiled helplessly, even though Gu Qing’er was being stubborn, she was still thinking about Su Changfeng. The incident at Xianwu Mountain earlier that morning had dealt her a heavy blow, but she showed no signs of giving up.
“He can handle it on his own, Grandpa doesn’t need to do this.” Gu Changsheng said.
“Hmph, Grandpa, how could he be so capable? Those guys from the Hai City Go Association all have quite large corporations there. It’s impossible for Su Changfeng to handle it alone.” Gu Qing’er said disdainfully.
Gu Changsheng sighed inwardly; Gu Qing’er didn’t believe Su Changfeng had the ability to solve this, but this time she would definitely be impressed by him. However, if this continued, Gu Qing’er’s good impression of Su Changfeng would definitely gradually increase.
Unfortunately, Gu Changsheng had no way to hide Su Changfeng’s excellence.
Gu Changsheng knew a bit about the Beijing Su Family’s affairs. He knew that Su Changfeng was initially not valued by the Su Family, but earlier Shangguan Feihong had personally come to Hai City.
This meant the Su Family had changed their view of him, but how exactly Su Changfeng did it, what he did, Gu Changsheng was still unclear.
But he was certain that Shangguan Feihong’s willingness to leave Beijing for Hai City proved Su Changfeng’s capability.
“My dear granddaughter, Su Changfeng is no pushover, you’ve underestimated him.” Gu Changsheng said.
Gu Qing’er pouted, what’s so great about that guy? He’s just a bit better at martial arts and knows how to play Go. He’s been living off the Tang Family, relying on Tang Qiulu for support, where’s the capability in that?
Hai City Airport.
The luxury cars lined up outside the airport, and bystanders, whether locals or outsiders, were stunned by the spectacle, wondering what kind of bigwig they were receiving.
Most of the luxury cars were Bentleys and Rolls Royces, recognizable by the locals of Hai City, and the owners of these cars were mostly pillars of the city’s business world, except for a few even more prominent figures who hadn’t come, the rest had arrived.
“What on earth is going on? Who are they welcoming to warrant such a grand display?”
“Probably the Gu Family folks, only they could command such a reception in Hai City.”
“Judging by the level, it would at least be Old Master Gu from the Gu Family, but there’s been no mention of him traveling out of town recently.”
Gu Changsheng was famous in Hai City; almost everyone had heard of him. However, they all knew that since stepping down from his position as chairman of the Gu Family, he had never left Hai City, so the crowd definitely wasn’t here for him.
Some who should have been leaving at this time were now standing and waiting to see what kind of important person could be receiving such a grand welcome.
At this moment, a young man, accompanied by a young girl and an old man on either side, emerged from the airport, and the luxury cars all opened instantly upon seeing the three.
The scene was spectacular, as the total value of these cars was in the tens of millions.
“So many people welcoming this young man, who is he?”
“I haven’t heard of such a figure before, it’s really curious. Could he be a significant figure from elsewhere?”
“You’re right, just look at the young man in the middle; his presence is different, he’s definitely not an ordinary person.”
The spectators whispered among themselves, but the faces of the three emerging from the airport were not good, especially Liu Chen.
The luxury car arrivals were all people from their Go Association, and the reason for their presence was obvious to Liu Chen.
Su Changfeng lost, disgracing the association along with himself, bringing humiliation to these people too. Given how much these old folks cherish their reputations, they wouldn’t let Su Changfeng off the hook easily.
“Su Changfeng, you’re really something. Not satisfied with us forcing you to participate, you deliberately lost the match so we all lose face with you, is that it?”
“You scoundrel, you’ll regret your decision to go against us. Do you understand what kind of consequences you’ll face?”
“If you didn’t want to go, we wouldn’t have forced you, but you went and deliberately lost the match, as if you’re dismissing us!”
A few angrily accused Su Changfeng, who showed no change in expression, not even glancing at them.
Liu Chen had heard from Gu Changsheng that Su Changfeng wasn’t to be messed with, so Liu Chen didn’t want the old guys to provoke Su Changfeng and face the aftermath. He immediately stepped up to mediate.
“Su Changfeng didn’t lose the match on purpose, there were some reasons involved. I’ll explain properly when we return to the association. Everyone’s watching now, let’s go back first.” Liu Chen said.
“Liu Chen, everyone respects you as our president, but that doesn’t mean we’re afraid of you. Don’t you know where you stand?”
“Don’t think that just because you’re president, we always have to cater to you. Check out your status first!”
“With your clout, you want us to let him off? Don’t even think about it.”
Liu Chen was highly esteemed in Hai City, mainly due to his recognized Go prowess. However, these older folks had no means or hobbies to pass the time after retirement.
That’s why they joined the association, but like they said, given their status, they indeed didn’t feel the need to give Liu Chen face.
Liu Chen hadn’t expected this situation. Long-time friends were now saying such things, clearly intent on making him lose face in front of everyone.
“Hmph, fine, then go ahead with your antics.” Liu Chen snorted coldly.
“Everyone come over and have a look, here’s our famous coward Su Changfeng of Hai City. I’m sure everyone’s heard of him; now you can see exactly what the coward looks like.” someone shouted to the crowd.
Su Changfeng was a well-known figure in Hai City, and upon hearing this, the onlookers burst into laughter. They’d heard of Su Changfeng before but were seeing the ‘coward’ for the first time, considering it quite a spectacle.
“Didn’t expect it to be him, how amusing. At first, I thought it was someone important.”
“Judging by the looks of it, he’s offended quite a few people this time. Leaving aside him living off the Tang Family, he actually got the Tang Family into trouble with so many people.”
“Sigh, Tang Qiulu is really unfortunate, being married to such a coward.”
