Chapter 425 The Illegitimate Son
"Let's hurry over!"
Thus, Meng Yang brought Manager Wang to the banquet.
Meng Yang scanned the crowd and immediately saw Chen Xuan chatting with Huo Yuhao. His gaze sharpened, with a hint of light in his eyes.
"Over there!"
Meng Yang eagerly walked over.
Manager Wang, following behind, was so nervous his palms were sweating.
"Mr. Chen!"
Meng Yang walked up and quickly greeted him.
Chen Xuan hadn't reacted yet, but Huo Yuhao was the first to turn his head. Upon seeing Meng Yang, he was so shocked he froze on the spot: "President Meng..."
Meng Yang was one of the big shots at Hongqi Bank. Had the incident with Manager Wang earlier caused trouble, prompting a big shot like Meng Yang to show up?
Huo Yuhao took a breath and mustered all his courage: "This has nothing to do with Brother Xuan. If you have a problem, come to me!"
Meng Yang glanced at Huo Yuhao, looking confused and having no idea what Huo Yuhao was talking about. However, seeing him sitting with Chen Xuan, he assumed he was Chen Xuan's friend. "Mr. Chen, is this your friend?"
Chen Xuan turned to look at Meng Yang and nodded faintly, "Yes, President Meng, this is my friend, Huo Yuhao."
"So it's Young Master Huo? Haha! Hello!"
Meng Yang was surprised. He hadn't expected a fallen young master like Huo Yuhao to know Chen Xuan. He decided to pay more attention to the Huo family in the future.
Saying that, Meng Yang extended his hand to Huo Yuhao.
Looking at the hand extended in front of him, Huo Yuhao's eyes showed disbelief. He looked up at Meng Yang again and saw Meng Yang's smiling face...
He secretly pinched himself to confirm that this was not an illusion.
Meng Yang wasn't here to cause trouble but to greet Chen Xuan, and he seemed quite respectful towards him.
"Young Master Huo?" Meng Yang frowned.
"Vice President Meng, I've heard so much about you!"
Huo Yuhao finally reacted and quickly extended his hand.
"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you to someone. This is one of my subordinates. If you need anything at Hongqi Bank in the future and I'm not around, you can find him."
Meng Yang pointed to the trembling Manager Wang behind him.
His gaze shifted, focusing on the head-bowed Manager Wang.
Chen Xuan and Huo Yuhao exchanged a look, both seeing the strangeness in each other's eyes.
"Manager Wang, this is Mr. Chen!"
Meng Yang pointed at Chen Xuan.
Manager Wang heard Meng Yang call him and suddenly looked up, a fawning smile on his face. He instinctively extended his hand: "Mr. Chen, hello, I am Wang Yuchun..."
"Ah?"
Manager Wang's eyes widened in shock as he saw Chen Xuan's face.
How could he be that important client?
"Manager Wang, we meet again."
Chen Xuan said with a half-smile, extending his hand and shaking hands with the manager.
However, Manager Wang's hand was ice-cold.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yang immediately understood something and chuckled, "Manager Wang, have you known Mr. Chen for a long time?"
Manager Wang forced a smile, "Know...know him..."
The smile was somewhat awkward.
"Know each other? Hahaha, that's wonderful!"
Meng Yang was somewhat surprised and quickly said, "Manager Wang, why don't you quickly offer Mr. Chen a drink!"
Manager Wang gritted his teeth, picked up the wine glass, and toasted Chen Xuan: "Mr. Chen, I'll toast you. I handled things improperly earlier. I apologize here."
"Apology? You're mistaken. If you want to apologize, you should apologize to Huo Yuhao, not me." Chen Xuan crossed his arms, making no move to accept the drink.
"And I should apologize to a fallen young master?"
Manager Wang refused. He had already been hit with a wine bottle, and now he had to apologize to Huo Yuhao? How would he maintain his standing if this got out?
"What, you're unwilling?" Chen Xuan said faintly.
"Mr. Chen, don't push your luck too far." Manager Wang gritted his teeth.
"When you were pushing your luck, why didn't you say anything?"
Chen Xuan retorted Chen Xuan's words decisively.
Meng Yang also noticed the atmosphere was not right, as if their acquaintance wasn't pleasant. He quickly asked, "Mr. Chen, is there some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
He then recounted the events that had just transpired to Meng Yang, specifically emphasizing that Huo Yuhao was his friend.
"And pouring red wine on Mr. Chen's friend, Huo Yuhao?"
"And forcing Mr. Chen to hit his friend with a wine bottle?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yang's expression changed. No wonder Chen Xuan was so angry. If it were him, he would have exploded long ago.
He turned and sternly said to Manager Wang, "Why don't you quickly apologize to Young Master Huo!"
If it were just Huo Shao, he might have let it go, as he was a fallen young master. But Huo Shao had connected with Chen Xuan, so he had to take it seriously.
Manager Wang gritted his teeth, "Vice President Meng, how can you make me apologize to a fallen young master?"
At this moment, for some reason, Manager Wang felt a surge of defiance.
"Right!"
Manager Wang gritted his teeth, "Damn it, don't push your luck too far!"
Meng Yang said, "Manager Wang, I think you don't want to work here anymore. If you don't want to work, get out!"
"Damn it, do you really think you're someone important? Let me tell you, you're someone you can't afford to offend!"
Manager Wang picked up his wine glass and slammed it on the ground.
"Manager Wang, I'm giving you one last chance. Apologize to Mr. Chen!" Meng Yang's face was grim.
"Go to hell! I quit! I've had enough of this. You're no longer my superior, and I'm no longer your employee."
"You..."
Meng Yang was also surprised that Manager Wang, who had always obeyed him, would fly off the handle. "Fine, you're fired! You won't get a single cent of your bonus or salary!"
"I don't want it!"
Manager Wang sneered, turned around, and walked away. He suddenly stopped in front of Chen Xuan, looking at Chen Xuan with a sinister smile: "Kid, let me tell you, you're finished!"
"Are you?"
Chen Xuan said faintly, "If it's about revenge, I welcome it."
"Arrogant!"
After saying the four words, Manager Wang turned and left.
"Meng Yang, what's this kid's background?" Chen Xuan looked at Meng Yang.
Meng Yang shook his head, "I only heard from colleagues that this Wang Yuchun has some background, but nothing impressive. Honestly, as a mere manager, I don't know much."
Just then, a cold laugh rang out.
"Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, you've gotten yourselves into big trouble."
The earlier commotion had attracted the attention of Young Master Yan and others. They walked over with playful expressions.
"Does that Manager Wang have some immense background?" Chen Xuan swept his gaze towards Young Master Qian.
Young Master Qian said smugly, "Kid, you've asked the right person. Let me enlighten you."
Zhen Xiaoqiong urged, "Young Master Qian, hurry up, tell me!"
Zhen Xiaoqiong was now arm-in-arm with Young Master Qian. It seemed that after the initial coy refusal, Young Master Qian had conquered Zhen Xiaoqiong. Their affair was developing quite rapidly.
Young Master Qian lowered his voice, "That Manager Wang's surname is Wang because he took his mother's surname. In fact, he is the illegitimate son of Old Master Gu, the third master of the Gu family!"
"More importantly, Old Master Gu is old and only has one daughter. He probably relies entirely on this illegitimate son. I heard that in a while, he will officially add this illegitimate son to the Gu family registry."
The Gu family, which was soaring in prominence, the illegitimate son of Old Master Gu, the third master?
Let alone Zhen Xiaoqiong, even the mouths of other young masters and socialites twitched.
Compared to him, these so-called young masters and socialites were nothing. Everyone knew that the Gu family was currently the most powerful family below the Four Great Families.
