Chapter 431, is this your trump card?

Chapter 431: 431, is this your trump card?

"Mayor Fang manages countless affairs every day, how could someone like him appear here?"

"And he’s not here to celebrate the Zhou Family’s anniversary, instead, he’s here for the Qiao Family’s celebration?"

"Could it be that he’s here because of Lin Dong’s face again?"

"..."

At this moment, everyone present was incredibly surprised.

Whether they were guests of the Qiao Family or the Zhou Family, they all looked at each other in disbelief.

Most of them understood the strength of both the Qiao and Zhou Families.

They thought that if Mayor Fang were to come, it would most likely be for the sake of Lu Feng from the Zhou Family and to celebrate Zhou Shichang’s birthday.

"It must be because of Lin Dong again!"

At this moment, all eyes turned to Lin Dong.

Zhou Na initially thought to herself that Lin Dong couldn’t possibly invite an official big shot, but who would have thought, the very next moment the man himself showed up.

"Dudu～～～"

At the moment, a low-profile black office car pulled up in the Qiao Family’s parking lot.

After parking the car, the imposing Fang Rujing arrived with his wife.

"It’s really Mayor Fang in person!"

"Good heavens, I actually thought the MC had gotten it wrong."

"Mayor Fang, good to see you."

"..."

At this time, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to greet Fang Rujing.

In Jianghai, who wouldn’t want to make an impression in front of Mayor Fang? At this moment, forget about the Qiao Family’s guests, even the Zhou Family’s guests couldn’t manage so much decorum.

They didn’t think about whether it would offend Zhou Shichang, the birthday star, and simply stepped forward to clear the way for Fang Rujing.

Even Zhou Shichang himself hurriedly walked over.

"Mayor Fang, good day. Whose birthday banquet are you here to attend?"

At this moment, Zhou Shichang was still holding onto a last glimmer of hope, wondering if perhaps the MC had made a mistake and Mayor Fang was not here to attend the Qiao Family’s banquet but his Zhou Family’s celebration instead?

However, Fang Rujing quickly shattered that notion.

Fang Rujing said softly:

"I am here to attend Elder Qiao Guoting’s birthday banquet!"

"This..." Zhou Shichang sighed, his last hope dashed.

By this time, Fang Rujing had already spotted Lin Dong.

He didn’t pay much attention to Zhou Shichang but instead walked toward the Qiao Family.

Elder Qiao quickly led the Qiao Family forward a few steps.

Then Elder Qiao hurriedly said with folded hands:

"Mayor Fang, your presence truly graces our Qiao Family’s celebration."

Chu Yunxiu, standing by, excitedly inserted:

"If we had known you would come, we would have surely swept the paths and rolled out the red carpet."

She might lack in other skills, but she certainly knew one set phrase after another for flattery.

Hearing this, Fang Rujing waved his hands and said:

"You’re too kind, too kind. It’s my honor to be invited by Mr. Lin Dong to this birthday celebration."

Saying this, he walked up to Lin Dong, smiled, and said with folded hands:

"Mr. Lin Dong, it’s been more than a month since we last met, and you still look as distinguished as ever."

He naturally had heard about the things Lin Dong did in the Provincial City, thus he gave Lin Dong all due respect.

Whooosh!!!

The crowd stirred with a burst of exclamations.

Although everyone had previously guessed that Mayor Fang came because of Lin Dong’s face, they had not anticipated his utmost respect for Lin Dong.

This did not seem like an equal treatment.

But more like one would treat a superior.

At this moment everyone’s gaze was fixed on the twenty-something young man.

He appeared calm and composed.

He was not flattered or overwhelmed like others were upon seeing Mayor Fang, nor was there any cringing or bowing.

Chu Yunxiu stood with her mouth agape, frozen in place, wanting to ask what was going on, but ultimately, she did not dare to. How could she presume to intrude on such a scene?

Chu Lan’s gaze shifted to Lin Dong, shining even brighter than when she saw the big brother from the list gift him several hundred thousand. Her face carried a sycophantic smile as she secretly said to herself:

"From now on, Lin Dong is going to be my closest relative, and I must cling to his coattails."

Over at the Zhou Family, the level of astonishment was even greater.

Zhou Ming felt as though he was witnessing the most incredible thing in the world. Lin Dong was younger than him, so how did he manage to earn Mayor Fang’s respect? He himself probably wouldn’t get such an opportunity in his whole life, would he?

Zhou Shichang’s body stiffened where he stood. He was initially holding a thermos, but at that moment, it slipped from his grasp with a ’pop’ and smashed onto the ground.

"I misjudged this young man before. My grandson Zhou Ming is no match for him! But why, why does he receive such respect from Mayor Fang?"

Zhou Na’s gaze towards Lin Dong was also filled with bitterness.

"So this is the basis for your disregard of us? Your trump card is Mayor Fang!"

At that moment, even if she tried to remain defiant, she had to admit that Lin Dong was indeed extraordinary.

At least, he now had a standing that could be compared with her fiancé, Lu Feng.

And just then, Lu Feng suddenly answered a phone call.

"Hello, General Instructor? What? You’re in Jianghai? Here for a mission and you’re stopping by to wish Grandpa Zhou a happy birthday?"

"Of course, General Instructor, you’re most welcome..."

After he hung up, Zhou Na eagerly asked, "Feng, what’s going on?"

Lu Feng replied, "It’s the General instructor of our War Dragon Special Forces. He is carrying out a mission in Jianghai and heard that Grandpa Zhou is having a birthday, so he decided to stop by and wish him well."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Na was overjoyed.

"That’s perfect, Feng, let him come over quickly."

This truly was a timely help.

Not only did it delight Zhou Na but also excited Zhou Shichang to no end.

At that moment, Zhou Na once again looked towards Lin Dong, her confidence restored, and silently scoffed:

"Lin Dong, you brought Mayor Fang, and that’s your trump card. But he’s just confined to the humble Jianghai. My fiancé’s reach is definitely not confined to just one city."

"The General instructor of the Jiangbei War Dragon Special Forces is no less in status than Mayor Fang. And this is not even my fiancé’s trump card."

"You still can’t compare with my fiancé!"

With this thought, Zhou Na straightened her back, and her lips once again curled into a smirk that declared her superiority...
