Chapter 636 Like Flies
Southeast?
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, feeling he could help.
A few days ago, Ma Dazhuang had bragged to him that the Profound Yin Sect had already dominated the entire southeast region and invited Chen Xuan to visit. However, Chen Xuan had declined.
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said nothing, deciding to first see how Su Yunxi was doing.
As they spoke, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi arrived at the banquet.
This banquet was one of the top events in the provincial capital. The women at the banquet were all exquisitely dressed, adorned with jewelry, wearing custom evening gowns, and carried themselves with elegance.
However, Su Yunxi's appearance immediately overshadowed all the other women. Those women were like stars surrounding the moon, or rather, they served to accentuate Su Yunxi.
Su Yunxi wore a blue long dress, her makeup was delicate, and she sported a pair of silver high heels.
Her hair was styled up, revealing a fair and graceful neck, making her even more elegant and capturing the attention of all the men present.
Many wealthy individuals, especially men, toasted Su Yunxi. This was partly due to the Su family's influence, and partly because Su Yunxi was a stunning beauty. Chen Xuan, on the other hand, was pushed to the side.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, acknowledging the immense charm of his fiancée.
At this moment, Su Yunxi seemed to exchange a few words with someone in the crowd, then walked out from the parting guests, took Chen Xuan's hand, and announced to the toasting wealthy individuals, "Everyone, allow me to introduce Chen Xuan, my fiancé, Su Yunxi!"
Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent.
All the wealthy individuals stared at Chen Xuan with trembling gazes, their eyes burning with jealousy. Those men who secretly admired Su Yunxi felt their hearts shatter into countless pieces!
On another note, they were also shocked. Su Yunxi introducing Chen Xuan in such a setting indicated that Chen Xuan was about to represent the Su family in entering the provincial capital's upper-class circles.
A live-in son-in-law representing the provincial capital's esteemed Su family?
Many exchanged glances, surprised and finding it somewhat unreliable.
Afterward, Su Yunxi proceeded to introduce these wealthy individuals to Chen Xuan one by one: "Chen Xuan, this is Mr. Wang from Xinhua Technology, and this is..."
Out of respect for the Su family, these wealthy individuals were quite accommodating and did not act overly arrogant. After all, even if the Su family's influence in the provincial capital was not what it used to be, it was still stronger than that of most of them.
As for those who were weaker and wished to curry favor with the Su family, they were exceptionally eager.
"Ms. Su, I heard that the Su family has developed a special medicine. This time, please give us at Huarui Pharmaceutical Sales Group a larger share."
A bald middle-aged man said with a smile, maintaining a humble posture.
This bald middle-aged man was Hua Guoqiang, the general manager of Huarui Pharmaceutical Sales Group.
Huarui Pharmaceutical Sales Company had a strong sales network in Jiangnan Province and even the surrounding three provinces. Logically, there was no need for such humility, as their channels meant countless pharmaceutical groups begged them to help sell their drugs.
However, the new drug from Su's Pharmaceutical was rumored to be very potent, which was why Hua Guoqiang personally sought out Su Yunxi.
"May I ask how many sales lines Mr. Hua has prepared for the Su family's new drug?" Su Yunxi was not surprised, as several influential companies had already approached them, offering to help the Su family sell their medication.
"Eight!" Hua Guoqiang said, his eyes darting around as he gritted his teeth.
Hua Guoqiang had initially prepared six sales lines, but to demonstrate his sincerity, he stated eight.
"It seems Mr. Hua has great sincerity," Su Yunxi said with a smile.
Huarui had a total of ten sales lines. Hua Guoqiang's willingness to offer eight lines for the Su family to sell their new drug was his utmost effort. In Su Yunxi's estimation, Hua Guoqiang would have been satisfied offering five or six lines.
"Ms. Su, let's discuss it quickly. If it's suitable, we'll sign the contract. I've brought the contract with me..." Hua Guoqiang said eagerly.
Discussing cooperation and signing contracts at a banquet was considered part of the event.
"Alright!"
Su Yunxi had intended to discuss cooperation with Hua Guoqiang anyway, and now that he had approached her, Su Yunxi naturally would not refuse.
Just as Su Yunxi and Hua Guoqiang were about to discuss cooperation, a group of wealthy individuals walked in from outside.
Upon seeing Su Yunxi and Chen Xuan, they recoiled as if they had encountered flies, keeping their distance.
"I didn't expect Su Yunxi of the Su family and that live-in son-in-law to dare attend the banquet..."
"You guys don't know, right? That live-in son-in-law from the Su family actually disfigured Miss Lei Yuying earlier!"
"The Lei family is one of the four major families, and their strength is definitely among the top. The Su family is in big trouble!"
Discussions erupted around them, unrestrained, and it seemed as though they were deliberately speaking loudly.
Chen Xuan observed this scene, his brow furrowed. His eyes darted around, as if contemplating something.
The wealthy individuals who had been trying to curry favor with Su Yunxi moments ago now avoided them like the plague.
Compared to the Su family, the Lei family was far more formidable. They did not want to incur the Lei family's retaliation because of the Su family.
Hua Guoqiang glanced at Su Yunxi and said awkwardly, "Ms. Su, let's discuss this another day."
"Mr. Hua, we had already agreed." Su Yunxi frowned.
"Ms. Su, I'm truly sorry, but we at Huarui cannot afford to offend the Lei family! We are truly sorry..."
With that, Hua Guoqiang turned and left impatiently.
"You..."
Su Yunxi gritted her teeth.
She looked at the expressions of those around her, the crowds keeping their distance. Even with her strong will, Su Yunxi couldn't help but be affected, clenching her fair fists.
Chen Xuan, on the other hand, remained calm, showing no hint of emotion, as if everything they were doing was nothing more than a joke in his eyes.
In fact, whether it was a big shot in the pharmaceutical sales industry or the CEO of a tech unicorn giant, in Chen Xuan's eyes, they were merely ordinary mortals, on a completely different level from him.
Su Yunxi's eyes welled up, and she choked out, "Chen Xuan, they are bullying us too much!"
Since the Su family established themselves in the provincial capital, they had never been treated this way.
Chen Xuan placed his hand on Su Yunxi's back and said comfortingly, "After the new drug is released in a couple of days, everyone will look at the Su family with new eyes. Those who look down on the Su family might even beg us for the medicine."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan cast a cold gaze over everyone present, memorizing each face.
Hearing this, Su Yunxi felt an inexplicable sense of reassurance. She nodded, her mood improving significantly. "They will pay the price for their actions today!"
At this moment, the Lei family's butler approached. "Miss Su, our young master Lei requests your presence. He has something important to discuss with you."
"I understand. I'll be right there."
Su Yunxi nodded, gave Chen Xuan a few instructions, and turned to leave.
"Why don't I accompany you?" Chen Xuan said worriedly.
Given the situation earlier, it was clear someone was orchestrating this, most likely the Lei family. Chen Xuan was uneasy about Su Yunxi going alone.
The Lei family's butler said coldly, "Miss Su, our young master Lei has only invited you alone."
