Chapter 1233 Is Chen Xuan the Esteemed Guest?
Even Su Tianhuang found it unbelievable. He couldn't help but say, "Chen Xuan, did the CEO of Xuanyun Group really invite you to dinner?"
"Indeed!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
"Chen Xuan, you really know how to brag. If the CEO of Xuanyun Group invited you to dinner, why didn't you talk about cooperation?"
Su Chenglong said coldly, "Don't tell me you don't care about the list. You're just making excuses!"
"If you don't believe me, then so be it. Consider me as if I never said anything." Chen Xuan couldn't be bothered to argue with this guy.
Su Tianhuang, on the other hand, seemed to believe him somewhat.
Su Chenglong was about to scold Chen Xuan, but Su Tianhuang stopped him.
He stared at Chen Xuan and asked, "Chen Xuan, did you really have dinner with the CEO of Xuanyun Group that night?"
Chen Xuan nodded calmly.
"If possible, go talk to the CEO of Xuanyun Group about cooperation. If you succeed, I guarantee Su Yunxi will be on the list of candidates for clan leader." Su Tianhuang said solemnly.
"I can do that, but I have another condition!"
Chen Xuan felt this deal was worthwhile and was ready to agree.
"Whatever your condition is, just state it!"
Su Tianhuang said urgently.
Chen Xuan glanced at Su Chenglong. "This guy slandered me, and I find his mouth too foul. If I succeed in the cooperation, I want him to slap himself and apologize to me!"
"You want me to apologize to you? Who do you think you are? To put it bluntly, you're just a live-in son-in-law! And I'm a genius from the Su family in the capital!"
Su Chenglong said furiously, as if he had been greatly humiliated.
"Silence!"
Su Tianhuang reprimanded Su Chenglong, then said, "I agree!"
"Clan Leader, how can you agree to him?" Su Chenglong said with great unwillingness.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "If I don't agree with you, should I agree with a good-for-nothing loser like you?"
Su Chenglong, who was a top genius of the Su family in the capital, was now being called a loser, which made him extremely angry.
Chen Xuan looked at Su Tianhuang with a smile and said, "Clan Leader, don't worry, I'll go to Xuanyun Group tomorrow to talk about cooperation."
Su Tianhuang said solemnly, "I hope to hear good news from you!"
The banquet ended. Everyone looked at the Vermilion Bird lineage with mocking eyes.
"Heh heh, who can't brag? I think they're afraid of bursting their bubble!"
"Exactly. Who's not saying that? If this bubble bursts, it will be a huge embarrassment."
"Truly laughable!"
At this moment, Su Chenglong also walked over, stared at Chen Xuan, and sneered, "Kid, I'll be at Xuanyun Group tomorrow to watch you. I want to see if you'll really go talk about cooperation. Don't pretend and then be too scared to go!"
"Whoever doesn't dare to go is a grandson!" Chen Xuan said lightly.
"I'll be waiting for you!"
With that, Su Chenglong waved his sleeve and left.
Chen Xuan looked at Su Yunxi and smiled, "Yunxi, let's go back too. What should we have for lunch today?"
"You still have the appetite for food?"
Su Yunxi looked at Chen Xuan and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This guy had just made such a bold claim and was still talking about food. Could it be that he was too thick-skinned?
Similarly, Su Qingyang and Yang Zilu were greatly astonished.
"Uncle Qingyang, Aunt Zilu, how about we eat at the Vermilion Bird lineage's place for lunch?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Let's forget it."
Su Qingyang politely declined, then looked at Su Yunxi with a hint of apology, "Miss Yunxi, I can't help much. I'm truly sorry."
"It's alright, it's alright," Su Yunxi said.
Afterward, Su Qingyang and Yang Zilu also took their leave and returned to the second lineage.
Thinking of Chen Xuan's bold claim, Su Yunxi couldn't help but rub her forehead. Her head ached a little. How was she supposed to talk about cooperation?
"Yunxi, we're not eating at home today. How about we eat out? It's my first time in the capital, and I heard that Beijing roast duck is delicious. Shall we go have roast duck together?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Uh... you still have the appetite for food? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to secure the cooperation?" Su Yunxi asked.
Chen Xuan patted his chest and laughed, "Securing the cooperation is as good as done. Besides, even if I fail, what can they do to me? As for losing face? The word 'embarrassment' doesn't exist in my dictionary."
"Thick-skinned!"
Su Yunxi rolled her eyes helplessly.
She felt that Chen Xuan had no intention of talking about cooperation at all.
"Yunxi, why are you complimenting me?" Chen Xuan said with a playful smile.
"You... you... forget it, forget it. Let's go eat Beijing roast duck. I haven't had proper Beijing roast duck in a long time."
Su Yunxi decided not to overthink it and said truthfully.
Thus, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi drove away from the Su family in the capital and headed towards Quanjude.
"Clan Leader, do you really believe that live-in son-in-law from the Vermilion Bird lineage can secure the cooperation?"
After everyone had left, the old butler looked at Su Tianhuang and asked with confusion.
Su Tianhuang shook his head, "I don't know, but I think Chen Xuan's appearance at Jiang Shang Ming Yue that night was not normal. You know, Jiang Shang Ming Yue had strict security. How did Chen Xuan appear there?"
"Didn't young master Chenglong also go? Why not ask young master Chenglong?" the old butler suggested.
"That's a good idea!"
Su Tianhuang thought the old butler's suggestion made sense, so he sent someone to summon Su Chenglong back.
"Chenglong, what do you think about Chen Xuan entering the top floor of Jiang Shang Ming Yue?" Su Tianhuang asked.
"What else can I think? In my opinion, he must have sneaked in!" Su Chenglong's eyes revealed a hint of malice.
"Then how did you get in?" Su Tianhuang asked again.
"This..."
"Tell me the truth."
Su Tianhuang said solemnly.
"Young Master Huo led us in through a hidden fire escape. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to enter the top floor. The top floor had already been sealed off, and the Xuanyun Group's personnel were conducting very strict checks."
Su Chenglong said slowly, "But when we went in, we didn't see the CEO of Xuanyun Group, but instead saw that guy Chen Xuan."
Recalling what happened that night, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Su Tianhuang seemed to hear something and his eyes lit up. "Does anyone else know about that fire escape?"
Su Chenglong said solemnly, "Clan Leader, that fire escape was blocked. It was impossible to get through. It was only when Young Master Huo had someone cut it open that the fire escape was accessible. I saw it with my own eyes."
Su Tianhuang seemed to understand something, and his emotions became slightly agitated. "Good, I understand. You can leave now!"
Su Chenglong blinked, not understanding, and turned to leave.
As soon as Su Chenglong left, Su Tianhuang said solemnly, "Then Chen Xuan might really be able to secure the cooperation."
"Clan Leader, did you hear something?"
The old butler frowned.
Su Chenglong's words flashed through his mind, but he couldn't make out anything.
Su Tianhuang said, "Jiang Shang Ming Yue had tight security. Chen Xuan absolutely couldn't have entered without a sound. Then there's only one explanation."
"Chen Xuan is that esteemed guest?"
"Precisely!"
"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!"
The old butler was also full of surprise. "Clan Leader, it seems that the Su family in the capital can secure cooperation with Xuanyun Group this time!"
Su Tianhuang, however, was very calm. "Let's not celebrate too early. The outcome of this matter will be clear tomorrow."
