Chapter 192 Investment
Old Master Murong wanted to meet Chen Xuan and thank him personally, so he brought Murong Meng along.
"Dad, not yet," Murong Xing said softly, with great respect.
Old Master Murong nodded and didn't take it to heart. Perhaps there was traffic, and they were a little late.
Murong Xu was very sensible: "Grandpa, you go sit in the office first. We'll wait here."
Old Master Murong immediately said, "No need. I'll wait here personally."
Murong Xing was stunned.
Old Master Murong had great prestige in Jiangzhou. Even he was waiting here personally. What was the background of this client?
Since Old Master Murong was waiting, everyone else could only wait.
The sun was already high in the sky, but Chen Xuan still hadn't arrived. Old Master Murong frowned and looked at Murong Xing, asking, "Eldest son, are you sure that person hasn't arrived?"
Murong Xing nodded, "Dad, he really hasn't come. If he had, he would have gone upstairs to discuss cooperation."
"What's going on?"
Old Master Murong was a little puzzled. Was he not coming?
"Shall I make a call?"
Murong Xing quickly took out his phone. The esteemed client had left a phone number at the Blue Sky Charity Foundation.
"No, let's wait a bit longer," Old Master Murong took a deep breath.
Murong Xu pouted, clearly displeased. "What kind of big shot is worth grandpa waiting here for? He's putting on airs."
"Shut up!"
When Old Master Murong heard Murong Xu's muttering, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he rebuked him.
"Grandpa..."
Murong Xu did not expect that Old Master Murong, who had always been kind to him, would be so stern.
"If I hear you say that again, you'll face family punishment!"
Murong Xu shrunk his neck and had no choice but to shut up.
Just then, Murong Xu's eyes darted around and he saw Murong Meng, who looked anxious. A sinister smile appeared on his face.
Yesterday, Old Master Murong had announced Murong Meng as the primary heir, which made him very unhappy.
To become the future family head, one must have broad connections. If the old man knew that Chen Xuan, whom Murong Meng befriended, was coming to the foundation to apply for relief funds, he would surely be greatly disappointed in Murong Meng.
Murong Xu said with a smile, "Grandpa, that person hasn't arrived, but one of Murong Meng's friends came to the foundation just now to apply for relief funds."
Murong Meng asked in confusion, "Who is it?"
"Look how anxious you are. Isn't he just a kept man!" Murong Xu said with a chuckle.
"Hurry up and say it! Is it Chen Xuan, the son-in-law of the Su family?" Murong Meng's heart stirred, and she asked quickly.
"I didn't expect you to know. Yes, it's that kept man. I treated him well, and out of consideration for you, I gave him a few hundred yuan. He's probably thanking me profusely." Murong Xu laughed heartily.
Murong Meng's face turned pale. It was over!
Upon hearing this, Old Master Murong's face also became extremely unpleasant.
He had tried every means to curry favor with Chen Xuan, but they, on the other hand, had treated Chen Xuan as someone applying for relief funds.
Seeing Old Master Murong's unhappy expression, Murong Xu, thinking he was angry with Murong Meng, said smugly, "Grandpa, Murong Meng only knows how to make friends with such trash. This is extremely detrimental to the Murong family's development. How can Murong Meng be the primary heir?"
Slap!
Old Master Murong raised his hand and slapped Murong Xu across the face.
"Grandpa, why are you hitting me?" Murong Xu was stunned.
"Not only will I hit you, but I'll kick you too!" Old Master Murong raised his leg as if to kick Murong Xu.
"Old Master, what's going on?"
Murong Xing stopped Old Master Murong and asked, not understanding why.
Old Master Murong gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Chen Xuan, the son-in-law of the Su family, is the VIP guest who came to discuss cooperation today! He is also the distinguished guest I asked you to wait for!"
"Ah?"
Murong Xing and Murong Xu were completely dumbfounded.
They never expected that the kept man would be a great figure whom even Old Master Murong respected!
"What should we do?"
Murong Xing asked anxiously.
Although he didn't know why, if he could make Old Master Murong so respectful, he must have extraordinary abilities.
"I don't care. If you don't bring young friend Chen back today, you can get out of the Murong family," Old Master Murong said in a cold, undeniable tone.
Murong Xing glanced at Murong Xu, wishing he could kick this guy to death. If it weren't for his insistence on causing trouble for Chen Xuan, so many things wouldn't have happened.
But Murong Xu was his son after all. He quickly nodded, "Dad, we'll definitely try to invite Mr. Chen back."
Then, Murong Xing took Murong Xu and hurried away.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao dragged Chen Xuan into a bar. As it was morning, there weren't many people, and it was relatively quiet.
"Let me introduce myself again, this is my Huo Yuhao. May I know your surname, brother?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Chen Xuan faintly uttered two words: "Chen Xuan."
"Chen Xuan? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned and stared at Chen Xuan suspiciously. "You wouldn't be that Chen Xuan on TV, the kept man of the Su family, would you?"
Chen Xuan asked faintly, "What do you think?"
"Heh, it must be someone with the same name. If you could afford to be kept by the Su family, why would you come to apply for relief funds?" Huo Yuhao waved his hand.
Chen Xuan smiled but said nothing.
"It's fate that we meet, brother. Come, let's have a couple of drinks." Huo Yuhao didn't look down on Chen Xuan for being a kept man and greeted him enthusiastically.
After a couple of drinks, Huo Yuhao became candid with Chen Xuan.
It turned out that Huo Yuhao was from the Huo family in the provincial capital. The Huo family was once a prestigious family in the provincial capital. They started their business in cosmetics, and later their business expanded to various fields. However, two years ago, they fell into decline because they offended someone.
In order to help the Huo family rise again, Huo Yuhao brought his family's ancestral medicinal recipes to Jiangzhou, hoping to attract some investment and make a comeback.
But unexpectedly, it was a trap set by a classmate who looked down on him. Not only did he not get any money, but he also spent all the money he had. That's why he went to the foundation to apply for relief funds.
Chen Xuan revealed a playful smile. "So, you were deliberately fooling me just now and asking me to work for you?"
Huo Yuhao looked a bit embarrassed, then said solemnly, "I did ask you to work for me, but you have to believe me. I have two ancestral medicinal recipes in hand. If you give me a chance, I will surely rise again!"
Chen Xuan saw Huo Yuhao's confident expression and nodded inwardly.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "How about it? Are you tempted? If you follow me, you'll be eating well and drinking spicy food in the future."
Chen Xuan shook his head.
Huo Yuhao showed a look of disappointment and mocked himself, "Yeah, if you follow me now, you probably can't even afford a meal."
But the next sentence made Huo Yuhao's body stiffen.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Huo Yuhao, you might have misunderstood. I meant I want to invest in you!"
Chen Xuan had looked at these two medicinal recipes, and they were indeed good. If they were produced as facial mask and medicinal bath products, they would definitely sell well.
He had thought before that whether it was the tribute from the wealthy families of Jiangbei or the forty percent shares of the Murong family, they were all other people's businesses. He also wanted to build his own business empire.
One must know that without a powerful economic force, it is all in vain to contend with the Kyoto Su family.
He happened to meet Huo Yuhao!
The cosmetics industry itself is a highly profitable industry. Now that Huo Yuhao's two medicinal recipes are so reliable, he can definitely produce good products. As long as there is capital, it will grow rapidly like mushrooms after a spring rain, which is incomparable to other industries.
