Chapter 435 The Snow in the Provincial Capital Has Melted
These past few days in the provincial capital had been too busy, and Chen Xuan had forgotten about the arranged fight.
"Mr. Chen, are you listening to the phone?" Vice Mayor Huang frowned.
"I'm listening. I'm truly sorry, Vice Mayor Huang. I forgot about it. Don't worry, I'll head to Jiangzhou now and will definitely not be late for tomorrow's appointment with Xiao Qingyao," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Vice Mayor Huang was also stunned.
Which wealthy magnate in Jiangdong wasn't trembling with fear lately, feeling as if a knife was hanging over their necks every day? Yet Chen Xuan was so calm that he had put it out of his mind.
Chen Xuan's demeanor was indeed not something they could compare to.
Moreover, judging by his attitude, Chen Xuan likely had full confidence!
He smiled, "Then we'll host a banquet tonight to welcome Mr. Chen!"
Chen Xuan hung up the phone and said to Jiang Biyun, who was sitting on the sofa, "Auntie, I have something to attend to and need to return to Jiangzhou. I'll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Be careful on the road," Jiang Biyun said faintly.
Chen Xuan was taken aback. He looked at Jiang Biyun, his eyes showing obvious astonishment.
"What's wrong? Don't think I care about you. I just said it out of habit," Jiang Biyun said with a blank expression.
Chen Xuan shook his head, turned, and drove towards the airport.
Chen Xuan was fortunate. A brother who was also going to Jiangzhou had bought too many plane tickets. When that brother canceled his ticket, Chen Xuan immediately bought it and boarded the plane to Jiangzhou.
What surprised Chen Xuan was that this brother's girlfriend, Jiang Yaru, was from the same village as him and was even a primary school classmate. However, later, her family became wealthy, and they all moved to the city. Jiang Yaru also went to school in the city, only returning to their hometown occasionally for ancestral worship. Jiang Yaru was now working in the provincial capital.
After primary school, Chen Xuan had only seen Jiang Yaru once or twice. He had heard that Jiang Yaru had gotten into a prestigious university.
"It's great to run into an old classmate here!" Jiang Yaru said to Chen Xuan with a cheerful smile.
"Yes, it's been a long time. Counting from now, it must be over ten years."
The days spent in the rural villages of Jiangzhou were Chen Xuan's most carefree times. Hearing this, he also showed a hint of reminiscence.
"I still remember when we all went to the river to catch fish back then. You caught a big carp, you were the most amazing."
Jiang Yaru chattered, "Oh, and in the summer, we used to go to the woods at midnight to catch fireflies!"
These simple words brought Chen Xuan's memories back to his childhood, and it seemed as if familiar faces were clearly appearing in Chen Xuan's mind.
Jiang Yaru's boyfriend, Li Wei, saw his girlfriend being so close to Chen Xuan and was filled with jealousy.
He coughed twice and handed over a bottle of mineral water, "Yaru, you must be tired. Have some water."
Jiang Yaru smelled the hint of jealousy: "Li Wei, what are you doing? I finally met someone from my village, what's wrong with chatting for a while?"
"I didn't say anything. I just want you to drink some water."
Li Wei appeared a bit embarrassed and smiled.
How could Jiang Yaru not see Li Wei's intentions? She snorted, but still gave her boyfriend a way out. She picked up the mineral water and took small sips, no longer continuing her conversation with Chen Xuan.
Seeing this, Li Wei quickly changed the subject, "Brother, what are you going to Jiangzhou for?"
"Just have some business to attend to," Chen Xuan said faintly.
Li Wei laughed, "Haha, it's okay, brother. If you can't make it in the provincial capital, tell me, Li Wei. I, Li Wei, am a manager at Red Flag Bank, the most sought-after loan manager!"
Although Li Wei seemed to want to help Chen Xuan, he was actually telling Chen Xuan, "See? I have a stable job in Jiangzhou, much better than yours. You'd better not have any ideas about my girlfriend."
However, Chen Xuan didn't say anything. He could understand Li Wei's actions to prevent his girlfriend from being snatched away.
The only thing that surprised Chen Xuan was that Li Wei had replaced Wang Yuchun, the son of Third Master Gu.
Chen Xuan politely praised, "To become a manager at such a young age, that's impressive."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank a certain important figure. I was originally an assistant manager, but who would have thought that our manager, Wang Yuchun, offended a big shot he shouldn't have, and was directly dismissed."
Li Wei spoke humbly, but his words were filled with excitement, "That important figure is said to be very powerful, and he's the son-in-law of the Su family. Although he's a live-in son-in-law, the Su family values him highly. He's eating 'soft rice' so deliciously, and even Master Bai and our bank president are supporting him."
"Yes, I heard about this too. I heard that even Third Master Gu of the Gu family was outsmarted," Jiang Yaru chimed in, looking surprised.
Chen Xuan kept his eyes focused and his mind calm, not expecting that matter to be so widely known.
At the end, Li Wei patted his head and sighed, "It's a shame. I went to the restroom because I had a stomachache at the time. If I had the chance to get to know such a person, my career would have soared! You could get tens of millions in loans now, it would just be a matter of me saying the word."
This wasn't just him talking about missing a great opportunity; it was clearly him showing off that he had the chance to meet important people.
"Exactly, exactly!"
Chen Xuan responded absentmindedly.
"Alas, in the future, if I meet that important figure, I must thank him properly!" Li Wei declared solemnly.
Li Wei was talking with Chen Xuan, but it wasn't a conversation; it was essentially him flaunting his status and position.
But how could he know that the person standing in front of him was the very person he wanted to thank?
"What are you two going to Jiangzhou for?" Chen Xuan asked faintly.
"Yaru's elder sister, Jiang Ling, is in Jiangzhou and invited us to visit. We happen to have time off, so we'll go. It won't cost much anyway. I'm telling you, I can even claim the plane tickets as expenses."
Li Wei said with a smile.
Great, here comes the boasting again.
Chen Xuan casually chatted along with this uninspiring conversation.
"By the way, what's your name, brother?" Li Wei suddenly asked.
After chatting for so long, Li Wei didn't even know Chen Xuan's name.
"His name is Chen Xuan!"
Jiang Yaru shot Li Wei a look, appearing helpless.
"Ah?"
Upon hearing the name, Li Wei's eyes widened, and he stared intently at Chen Xuan.
"What's wrong, Li Wei?" Jiang Yaru frowned, looking at the surprised Li Wei.
Li Wei swallowed and his gaze never left Chen Xuan. He lowered his voice, "The important figure I mentioned earlier, his name is Chen Xuan!"
"Chen Xuan?"
Jiang Yaru looked at Chen Xuan and chuckled, "Old classmate, that important figure wouldn't be you, would he?"
Chen Xuan smiled without answering.
Li Wei thought about it again. If he hadn't given Chen Xuan a plane ticket, Chen Xuan probably wouldn't have been able to board the plane. How could such a person be troubled by a plane ticket?
He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be a case of same name, different person."
Jiang Yaru also smiled, thinking it was just a coincidence of names.
As for Chen Xuan, he naturally wouldn't explain anything. Even if he did, no one would believe him.
Soon, the plane took off. Li Wei started playing with his phone, and Jiang Yaru was fiddling with a Rubik's Cube. They were all busy with their own affairs. Chen Xuan was about to close his eyes to rest when he was suddenly captivated by the scene outside the window!
It wasn't the infinite scenery of the provincial capital!
Nor was it the magnificent mountains and rivers of the provincial capital!
But rather... the snow in the provincial capital had melted!
When they arrived in the provincial capital a few days ago, it was still snowing heavily. However, the following days were all clear and sunny, and the snow melted quickly. Although there was still some snow on some mountain ranges, it did not affect the feng shui masters' readings at all.
He couldn't help but hold his breath, staring intently at the mountains and terrain of the provincial capital.
Gradually, his expression became serious, then shocked, and even a little terrified, as if he had seen something horrifying.
