Chapter 383: Chapter 185: She... Suddenly Transformed?
As for himself?
’In Jiangcheng, I’d probably be less than a small fry.’
’If I get beaten up then, so be it. I’ll just have to endure it like President Xi.’
Faced with Manager Huang’s enthusiasm, Xu Yun chatted with him for a while, casually mentioning that Song Xiaowei was also there to buy a car.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of Manager Huang and the salesperson, he drove home in the first RV of his life.
After parking in the garage at Jiangcheng Heaven and Earth, Xu Yun loaded the vehicle with all the equipment and supplies he had bought over the past two days.
After a busy morning, Xu Yun was finally ready. He drove to a restaurant, planning to treat himself to a nice meal.
But as luck would have it, he unexpectedly saw Chen Jiang’s car at the entrance. Just as Chen Jiang got out, a woman with her back to Xu Yun walked up to him, trying to start a conversation.
However, Chen Jiang seemed rather impatient and continued walking into the restaurant.
The woman kept following him, not giving up.
Xu Yun watched for a moment before heading inside as well.
’Since we’ve run into each other, I should have a little chat with him.’
’A guy who deliberately leaks my information to Xi Wei is definitely not on my side.’
"President Chen, what a coincidence."
Xu Yun called out from behind. When the other man turned around, Xu Yun gave him a meaningful smile. "You’re eating here too? Or did you come because you knew I’d be here?"
"President Xu?"
Chen Jiang was also taken aback for a second, then he smiled and walked over. "Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we eat together?"
"Sure. That way I can save some money on a meal."
After his playful jab, Xu Yun looked at the woman who had been pestering Chen Jiang, only to realize he knew her.
She was Yang Siqi, the owner who had signed a contract to supply his fitness center with equipment.
When Yang Siqi saw Xu Yun, she was also surprised and subconsciously called out, "President Xu?"
"President Yang, long time no see."
Xu Yun smiled and asked, "You know our President Chen, too?"
"No."
Yang Siqi said awkwardly, "This is only the second time we’ve met. I have something I want to discuss with President Chen, but I haven’t had the chance."
Seeing how familiar the two seemed, Chen Jiang asked Xu Yun, "A friend of yours?"
Xu Yun replied, "You could say that."
Chen Jiang said, "Since she’s your friend, she can join us."
Yang Siqi was a little delighted to hear this.
She’d had a hard time just getting a meeting with Chen Jiang before. Today, she’d only managed to catch him by getting a tip-off in advance, and it had looked like she was about to fail.
She never expected to run into Xu Yun and get a chance to have a meal with Chen Jiang.
The three of them went to the private room Chen Jiang had already booked.
During the meal, Xu Yun took the initiative. "I met the person you recommended. She’s great."
"As long as you’re satisfied."
Chen Jiang smiled. "Lin Wanzhou is very professional in this area. She should be able to save you a lot of trouble on the road."
"It seems you trust her a lot."
Xu Yun asked probingly, "Does she tell you everything?"
"Not really."
Chen Jiang picked up on the implication in Xu Yun’s words and admitted frankly, "I was just curious about where you were planning to go, so I asked.
If that upset you, I’ll drink an extra glass to apologize."
"Next time, you can just ask me directly. It’s not like it’s a secret."
Xu Yun said with a smile, "What else do you want to know? Ask me everything today. I’ll hold nothing back."
"Nothing else."
"Really nothing?"
Xu Yun said, "Don’t go saying I’m stingy later. You’re the one who isn’t asking.
If I find out later that you’re still secretly digging into my affairs, I’ll get angry.
And when I get angry, I tend to get impulsive.
Take President Xi, for example. He accidentally provoked me yesterday, so I cornered him in his office and gave him a good beating. He’s much more behaved now."
"!!!"
Xu Yun’s words left Chen Jiang utterly stunned.
’This guy actually beat up Xi Wei!’
He had been planning to use the matter with Xino to get Xi Wei to target Xu Yun, which would allow him to gauge Xu Yun’s strength.
’And what happened? The guy just went straight to his door, cornered him, and beat him up?’
’This guy is too savage, too formidable.’
’One disagreement and he just starts throwing punches!’
’The key thing is, after beating the guy up, nothing happened to him at all!’
He knew full well the connections and power the Xi Family wielded in Jiangcheng. While not a top-tier power, they were definitely in the second echelon.
’And he just beat one of them up so brazenly?’
’And now he can still sit here and tell me about it with such a nonchalant look on his face!’
’He’s warning me!’
’If I provoke him, he’ll beat me up just like he did Xi Wei!’
At this moment, a genuine fear crept into his heart.
He knew his own family’s power couldn’t compare to the Xi Family’s.
’If he decides to beat me up, he’ll really do it!’
People of their status usually fought each other with schemes and strategies. Who would resort to brawling like a child, getting into a physical fight right away?
"President Xu, you must be joking."
Chen Jiang said, starting to back down, "We’re all friends here. Let’s not ruin the harmony over some small misunderstanding."
"Of course."
Xu Yun chuckled. "I’m generally a very reasonable person. But if reason doesn’t work, I also know a little something about using my fists."
"..." Chen Jiang was speechless.
Yang Siqi, sitting on the side, had thought this was a friendly gathering. How did the conversation suddenly start to feel like a trap?
’Was Xu Yun just threatening President Chen?’
’Who is President Chen? What’s his status!’
’His family’s company is a big name in Jiangcheng!’
’And now, someone was brazenly threatening him right in front of me.’
Suddenly, Yang Siqi started to regret coming to this meal.
’You know, I don’t really need to make this deal.’
