Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Are You Begging Me?!
"If this Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart truly has such effects, why would the Buddha Ancient Temple send out messages and let others compete for it? Canât they make use of it themselves?"
Her eyebrows furrowed with concern.
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, "I understand."
Afterwards, the ladies began to dress up, preparing to attend the business summit held tonight.
This business summit could be said to gather the elite of the Shen Zhou Business District.
Not only would renowned financial groups and prominent families from the Divine Land attend, the Five Great Families would send representatives as well, and it is heard that quite a number of foreigners residing within Hua have been invited too.
After all, the host of this banquet is the leader of the Five Clans, the Tang Family!
Who wouldnât give them some face?
Chen Xiao waited, bored.
He really couldnât understand why women spend so long putting on makeup.
Most importantly, Luo Qingli and the others already had top-notch looks, even without makeup they were stunningly beautiful, so why bother with makeup?
As Zhang Yaqing put itâitâs a sense of ceremony.
Once they had carefully finished dressing up, it was almost time for the business summit to begin.
ââ
Night falls, Capital City, Longhua International Hotel.
As a top-tier, super five-star hotel under the Tang Family, Longhua International Hotelâs standards have always been high, welcoming elite guests from Shen Zhou and abroad, ordinary people donât even have the privilege to enter.
Setting the business summit at this location shows the Tang Familyâs emphasis on the banquet.
Chen Xiao and his friends stepped down from the car, and couldnât help but exclaim at the grandeur and opulence before them; this hotel so extravagant, probably just the investment alone cost billions in funds.
As expected from the Tang Family, the leader of the Five Great Families.
This scale, indeed large enough.
The hotel surroundings were already cordoned off with security lines, with tight security, only those with an invitation could enter; within the security lines, various luxury cars were parked, all kinds were there, expensive ones.
Of course, there were also some seemingly ordinary cars, but the more ordinary they looked, the bigger and more intimidating their backgroundâcoming from the War Department, the Heavenly Palace, Dragon Soul... even ones with Central Institute passes.
In the outside world, the appearance of such cars, any one of them would be enough to cause a stir.
However, in such a major setting tonight, it seemed less intimidating.
After all, the hosts tonight were the Tang Family.
"Capital City, truly a place where tigers and dragons lay in ambush..." Luo Qingli marveled; though theyâve seen the world, this banquetâs grandiosity far surpassed their imagination.
Soon, several cars rudely burst in, afterward, a few sturdy men with blonde hair and blue eyes arrogantly stepped out of the cars, wearing special attire from Eagle Country, looking as if they disregarded everyone else.
Chen Xiao exclaimed, "This banquet, the Tang Family even invited these people?"
Ye Hongyi spoke calmly, "Since the Hundred Countries Military Battle has started, representatives from other countries have gradually arrived, inviting these people for the banquet isnât strange for the Tang Family."
Next, they saw cars with Yang Country flags arriving, people dressed in kimonos from Yang Country stepping out from the cars, entering the venue.
"These people are also the Yang Country representatives participating in the Hundred Countries Military Battle," Ye Hongyi explained.
Chen Xiao sneered, "Seems like the Tang Familyâs social circle is quite broad, even managed to invite these delegations, truly remarkable."
"As the leader of the Five Clans, the Tang Family has significant influence not only domestically but also abroad, these matters we shouldnât concern ourselves with, as long as they donât mess with us, weâll pretend we see nothing," Zhang Yaqing said coolly, "But indeed, the Tang Family is somewhat overboard, these people are enemies of our Divine Land."
Chatting, they headed inside.
A car sped by, suddenly swerving to block their path.
The window slowly rolled down.
Inside, Lu Rugao took off her sunglasses, her gaze faintly landing on Chen Xiao.
"Mr. Chen!" Su Linger also called out.
"You came too?" Chen Xiao was surprised, but quickly found it normal; as heiresses of the Five Great Families, Lu Rugao and Su Linger appearing in such occasions would only be natural.
Lu Rugao parked the car properly, then strode toward Chen Xiao, "I heard that Jin Zilong, that dog, would appear at tonightâs gathering; previously he sent people to attack me at the airport. Shouldnât you settle the score with him already?"
Chen Xiao smirked, "Me, settle the score? Heâs after you, whatâs it got to do with me? Youâre asking me for a favor?"
"Iâm not asking you, but I know, you will do it," Lu Rugao snorted proudly.
"Third sister, long time no see, did you miss sister?" Zhang Yaqing suddenly warmly wrapped her arm around Lu Rugaoâs.
Lu Rugaoâs face fell, "Donât call me third sister."
That nickname was truly embarrassing, reminding her of the days dominated in the villa.
Zhang Yaqing chuckled, "Youâre not my third sister, then how can you ask Chen Xiao for help?"
Lu Rugao was rendered speechless.
Luo Qingliâs cold but pretty face revealed a slight smile, "Come on, call me big sister and let me hear it."
Lu Rugao: "..."
This woman wasnât a cold goddess? How come sheâs learned to be mischievous?
Chen Xiao laughed heartily, "Quickly, call her, and today Iâll give Jin Zilong a good beating for you."
Lu Rugao gritted her teeth; considering Jin Zilongâs status and influence, others wouldnât dare to touch him, only Chen Xiaoâthis fearless guy had the guts.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, forced a smile, "Big sister, second sister."
"Good girl!" Zhang Yaqing laughed heartily, patting her little head.
Lu Rugao felt a burn of humiliation inside...
She glared at Chen Xiao, "Tonight, youâd better satisfy me!"
"Donât worry, Iâll definitely handle him properly for you," Chen Xiao said calmly with a smile.
