Chapter 1231 I Had Dinner With the President of Xuanyun Group
The Su family from the capital sent people to inquire about the handover of the Vermillion Bird lineage's industries, but Chen Xuan found excuses to defer them. The Su family was not pleased, and Su Tianhuang even came in person to discuss the matter, but Su Yunxi did not budge and continued to use excuses.
For the past two days, Chen Xuan went to Leigong Pavilion upstream of Mingyue River. He found that the feng shui formation at Leigong Pavilion appeared normal yet was incredibly strange and unheard of. In particular, the interweaving of malevolent qi and wealth, each strengthening the other, was rare. Chen Xuan lingered around Leigong Pavilion for two consecutive days but could not figure anything out, so he could only shake his head in resignation and return to the Su family in the capital.
"Chen Xuan, there's a family meeting tomorrow, and we need to attend," Su Yunxi said faintly, wearing a face mask, as she sat on the sofa at home.
Chen Xuan nodded, "Okay, we'll go together."
The next day, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi attended the meeting. Inside the conference room, everyone wore secretive expressions, looking at each other, naturally wanting to see if others had secured cooperation.
"Brother Biao Zi, I heard your family waited at Xuanyun Group all day yesterday. You must have reached a cooperation agreement with Xuanyun Group, right?"
"We waited at Xuanyun Group all day and met with a general manager there, even having a pleasant conversation. As for the cooperation, it will be revealed later. What about you all?"
"A general manager? Not bad, not bad. I wasn't so lucky. The vice president of Xuanyun Group personally received me yesterday. We also had a heart-to-heart talk and went to the Sun Entertainment City in the capital to play for a whole night. It was very friendly."
"So, you reached an agreement?"
"We'll know when the Patriarch arrives!" the person said with a mysterious smile, saying no more.
Everyone was secretive, seemingly having some confidence. Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi walked in, met with silence, no one greeted them, and they even avoided them as if they were plague gods. They happened to run into Su Qingyang and Yang Zi Luo, and the two sides exchanged greetings. Yang Zi Luo smiled charmingly and lowered her voice, "Yunxi, don't mind what these people are saying. According to my knowledge, none of them has reached a cooperation agreement with Xuanyun Group yet."
"Really? Is Xuanyun Group that hard to break through?" Su Yunxi widened her eyes.
"More than hard to break through, it's like an impenetrable fortress," Su Qingyang couldn't help but sigh, looking powerless. He had also tried to have people contact Xuanyun Group, but there had been no progress, and he hadn't even met a department head. The Su family of the capital was one of the nine great families of the capital, and by rights, it was a powerful and influential family, but Xuanyun Group showed them no respect, even displaying hostility, which was truly frustrating.
"Miss Yunxi, have you not tried?" Yang Zi Luo asked with a charming smile.
Su Yunxi shook her head honestly, "I have no connections in the capital, and I can't reach them, so I won't trouble myself."
"But Chen Xuan has, doesn't he? On that day, wasn't the president's assistant of Xuanyun Group there to offer congratulations? Although he's an assistant, that's a great opportunity to get in touch with Xuanyun Group!" Yang Zi Luo said busily.
Chen Xuan heard this and looked at Su Yunxi, smiling faintly, "Yunxi, if you are willing, I can give it a try. I should have a ninety percent chance of reaching an agreement."
Su Qingyang and Yang Zi Luo were stunned. Ninety percent chance? None of the Su family members present dared to claim a ninety percent chance! Where did Chen Xuan get this confidence?
Su Yunxi shook her head, "Let's forget it. It's not good to try to snatch the spot of the candidate for the heir of the Su family in the capital right after arriving."
"Then let's forget it." Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said truthfully.
Seeing this, Su Qingyang and Yang Zi Luo shook their heads slightly. Chen Xuan did have some strength, but his habit of boasting was indeed formidable. Just then, with the sound of footsteps, Su Chenglong walked in quickly with a few people. Many people crowded around, greeting Su Chenglong. As a prominent figure in the Su family of the capital, Su Chenglong had a high probability of becoming the Patriarch of the Su family in the future. Not only could he not be offended easily, but he should also be befriended. Facing everyone's enthusiastic expressions, Su Chenglong nodded humbly.
"Uncle Qingyang, who is this?" Su Yunxi looked at Su Chenglong and frowned.
"The genius of the Dragon Vein, Su Chenglong, who has already been listed as a candidate for Patriarch," Su Qingyang said in a deep voice. "Moreover, it is rumored that Su Chenglong has the greatest chance. It is said that Su Chenglong met the President of Xuanyun Group two nights ago with the help of the young master of the Huo family on the Jiang Shang Ming Yue. I don't know how the discussion went." Soon, he revealed a look of deep worry, "It is said that Su Chenglong has reached an agreement with Su Yongnian, Tianhai Dan and his wife, and others, seemingly to deal with the Vermillion Bird lineage. It is best if they do not succeed."
Su Yunxi frowned, as if resigned to fate, and said, "Let's hope so."
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Uncle Qingyang, don't worry. That guy didn't succeed. When I was having dinner with the President of Xuanyun Group that day, Su Chenglong showed up, but the President of Xuanyun Group had already left, and nothing was discussed."
"What? You had dinner with the President of Xuanyun Group?" Su Qingyang and Yang Zi Luo were stunned for a moment, then their mouths widened. Su Yunxi was also surprised, as if she thought of something, and said, "You had dinner with the President of Xuanyun Group that day?"
Chen Xuan nodded truthfully, "Yes." Su Yunxi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Su Qingyang and Yang Zi Luo were also incredibly surprised, but soon they understood; Chen Xuan's boast was too much. Su Qingyang couldn't help but pat Chen Xuan's shoulder and say, "Chen Xuan is becoming more and more humorous, but this joke is not funny." Chen Xuan could also tell. Su Qingyang did not believe him, so he naturally wouldn't say more. At this moment, Su Chenglong walked over and came before Chen Xuan, "Kid, if you kneel before me and beg for mercy now, I can consider letting you off and not exposing what happened that night!"
Chen Xuan grinned and uttered two words, "Idiot!"
"You..." Su Chenglong was so angry he almost fainted, "You just wait!" With that, Su Chenglong led his people away, sat down in the Dragon Vein seat of the Su family in the capital, his eyes scanning Chen Xuan, filled with malice and coldness.
Gulp! Su Qingyang and Yang Zi Luo broke out in a cold sweat. How did the son-in-law of the Vermillion Bird lineage provoke Su Chenglong again? Su Qingyang couldn't help but ask, "Chen Xuan, how do you know Su Chenglong, and why do you seem to have a conflict?"
Chen Xuan said faintly, "That night, I was having dinner with the President of Xuanyun Group, and this fool suddenly barged in. I scolded him, and he might have been unhappy, so he held a grudge against me."
Su Qingyang and Yang Zi Luo looked at each other. Damn! It's as if Chen Xuan really had dinner with the President of Xuanyun Group. But then again, if Chen Xuan hadn't said that, how did Chen Xuan get into conflict with Su Chenglong?
