Chapter 433 His Identity
âPresident Huang, Patriarch Lu, Mr. Gu⊠Welcome, welcome, please come inside.â
Zi Qingtian said, with a warm smile, as he greeted them.
At this time, everyoneâs eyes on the platform were focused on the new guests, especially the members of Zi Qingtianâs faction, who held their breaths nervously.
This could be taken as a war on social relationships.
Then, if the five men, including Huang came for them, they would enjoy an overwhelming advantage.
Each of these five represented a stronger family than the Zi family!
HoweverâŠ
They saw Huang and the other guests responding to Zi Qingtianâs greetings with only an indifferent expression and a slight nod, without even saying anything more.
At this momentâŠ
With a thudâŠ
Zi Qingtian and Fang Huangâs hearts did a flip, and the two of them felt as if they knew what was going to happen next!
âAre they also coming for Zi Qiang?â
A lot of people had the same idea.
At the next momentâŠ
The case was totally solved.
After scanning the whole platform, Huang Yuan and the other guests finally fixed their eyes on the last row on the right side. Then they ignored Zi Qingtian and Fang Huan, and walked directly toward that direction.
That familiar expression!
That familiar attitude!
That familiar scene!
All this seemed to turn into a mountain and was pressing down on Zi Qingtian.
He trembled uncontrollably, and turned his head slowly and stiffly.
What caught his attention was that Huang Yuan and the other guest, with warm smiles, stretched out their hands before they reached Zi Qiang.
Both hands!
This showed that they considered themselves to be in a lower position than Zi Qiang.
âIs it true?â
Many people could not believe their eyes.
When,
âWhy does Huang Yuan, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, need to reach out both hands to shake hands with a peer?â
As for Zi Qiang, he was terribly frightened.
For him, these people were the celebrities he usually needed to look up to.
But they addressed him as âbrotherâ today.
If he didnât address them the same way, they would be unhappy.
âWhat do they intend to do?â
One surprise came after another.
Zi Qiang thought he was still in a dream state.
Fortunately, Xu Xinyu reacted faster. Seeing Huang Yuanâs outstretched hands, she quickly touched Zi Qiang and whispered,
âDonât just sit there. Come on.â
âAh, okay.â Zi Qiang hurried to meet Huang Yuan.
âBrother Zi Qiang, long time no see! In fact, I wanted to contact you a few days ago and invite you to be the vice president of our Chamber of Commerce!â Huang said, holding Zi Qiangâs hand.
He didnât know how influential his words sounded.
âHiss!â
Many people took a deep breath.
They all looked at Huang Yuan in astonishment.
Being the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, which dominated half of Singaporeâs business sector, meant having a great deal of social connections and resources!
Zi Qingtianâs butt had not even touched the chair yet.
He was at a loss, when he heard that.
âSlam!â
He slumped down in his chair, and looked at Zi Qiang dazedly.
âVice president of the chamber of Commerce.â
âIâve been looking forward to getting his position for three years!â
âIâve put in a lot of effort, but I still canât get it.â
âBut now they want to give the vice presidentâs position to Zi Qiang so easily?â
âWhy?â
âFor what?â
The people beside Zi Qingtian stopped talking, and stared at Zi Qiang.
Huang Yuan dd not release Zi Qiangâs hand, while he said with a smile,
âBut I donât know what is Mr. Zhangâs plan now. If brother Zi Qiang stays in Singapore in the future, I will keep the post of vice president open for you all the time.â
âAh? ThisâŠâ Zi Qiang said in shock.
Huang Yuan laughed and interrupted him, âBrother Zi Qiang, donât say no, thatâs the deal!â
After that, Huang Yuan released Zi Qiangâs hand and turned slightly.
Mr. Gu and others beside him shook hands with Zi Qiang warmly, one after another. They didnât say much, roughly as follows,
Brother Zi Qiang, you really have a good daughter. I envy you so much.â
Zi Qiang had heard this statement several times today.
This made him understand all these things, so at the end of the chat, he grinned and replied,
âOf course, my daughter has always been excellent.â
If Zi Yan saw her fatherâs expression at this time, she would have been unable to stop laughing.
These five guests also greeted the Patriarch Liang and the others. There would be a problem when they were about to take their seats.
There were only three seats left!
So the five of them did not sit, but stood next to Zi Qiang.
There were many seats available at the back, together with the other members of the Zi family, but they did not even look at them.
When Zi Qingtian saw this, he felt very helpless. After taking a deep breath, he stood up and said,
âPlease bring more chairs for Mr. Huang and his group!â
The servants at the back hurriedly took a few chairs from the side. Then Huang Yuan and others sat down, and continued talking with Zi Qiang.
Seeing so many celebrities sitting behind them, Zi Peng and Dong Ling exchanged a look.
They were nervous and hesitant.
Of course, Zi Qiang and Xu Xinyu did not fare much better than them.
But fortunately, Liang Mengqi always talked and laughed beside Xu Xinyu, and gradually made the atmosphere livelier.
In the main seats.
The three elders looked at Zi Qiang from time to time, feeling that Zi Qiang was going to get up.
They can only watch the development taking place. Although, according to the seniority in the Zi family, they should take the main seats. If social status was taken into consideration, they could not compare with 70% of the people present!
Facing this situation.
Zi Qingtian felt as if a crisis was forthcoming.
He gave Fang Huan a fierce look.
Fang Huan had been silent for a long time. In this case, only the mentally handicapped would not have been aware of what was going on.
Everyone else was whispering to each other, and a few words could be heard.
âWho is Mr. Zhang?â
Pondering for a minute, Fang Huan looked at her watch.
It was 10:10 a.m.
So many things happened in just eight minutes! There were so many important people here!
These celebritiesâ neglect of Zi Qingtian made them feel so ashamed.
In order to maintain the last shreds of her dignity, Fang Huan suddenly stood up and said,
âWhat Patriarch Fan said before is right. We have a cooperative relationship with the Fan family, but the marriage is a rumor. The reason for the party today is that first, we want to get together with you, second, we want to confirm several cooperative relationships, third, Zi Yan of the Zi family is married, and her husband will be coming to propose today. According to the family rules, anyone who wants to marry my family must first obtain the consent of her parents, then the consent of the head of the family, and finally the approval of the elder.â
Fang Huan glanced at Zi Qiang and continued,
âThe elder is old, so the patriarch and I will represent him fully. If we donât agree, the marriage will not be allowed! But it remains to be investigated!â
Then she sat back.
The crowd again started talking about this incident.
Her meaning was nothing more than a warning to Zi Qiang, not to be too proud, and the final decision would be made by the patriarch.
âEven if you have all the great men standing behind you.â
âSo what?â
âAs long as I have a negative vote, this marriage will not be recognized!â
âWhat a joke! Who can you represent? Does Grand Master Zhang need you to recognize his marriage?â
Suddenly, a jeering laugh shook the whole square.
Everyone turned their eyes and looked to the place where the voice came from, and were all stunned.
They saw He Bancheng, patriarch He, and elder He Chen, the Grand Master He who had not been seen for a long time!
âA great patriarch and a Grand Master!â
âWait!â
âWhat did he just say?â
âWhat did Grand Master He just say?â
âA Grand Master?â
âHe is a Grand Master!â
âIs it true?â
Almost everyone on the platform was stunned because they found the impact of those words were too weighty.
âGrand Master Zhang?â
They were not sure if they heard wrongly!
But⊠they definitely heard that very clearly.
Together with Zi Qingtian, everyone slowly stood up and watched the arrival of He Chen and He Bancheng.
Zi Qingtian did not go and meet them.
He knew that even if he went up, he would be ignored! Why should he make a fool of himself?
Under the crowdâs gaze, He Chen went to the center of the square, looked at Zi Qing and Fang Huan with a stern face, and said coldly,
As the leader of the Zi family, you are so incompetent that you tolerate your wifeâs unbridled behavior here!â
Fang Huanâs face turned pale, and she did not even dare to look at He Chen and could only lower her head.
Even people from the same faction as Zi Qingtian dared not look at He Chen.
Because they knew that master He seemed to be very dissatisfied with them!
Was it due to Fang Huanâs words?
What could they do when they were publicly reprimanded by He Chen? They had to smile at him, even if he overturned their chairs!
All this because he was a middle-stage Grand Master!
âElder He⊠is right.â
Zi Qingtian raised his head. Even though he was very reluctant, he had to agree.
But what made him more concerned was another matter.
He stared at He Chen and asked in a trembling voice, âElder He, what do you mean when you mentioned Mr. Zhang?â
Others couldnât help but hold their breath with him, as they waited for He Chenâs answer!
He Chen glanced at Zi Qingtian and everyone present, and then said calmly,
âToday is the day when Master Zhang is coming to propose marriage, so I am here to welcome Master Zhang personally!â
âKaboom!â
Everyone looked as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt.
It affected most of the people present.
Zi Qingtian, Fang Huan, the three aged men, the faction beside them and all the followers behind them.
Their faces was distorted with astonishment!
âA martial arts grand master!â
âHe is indeed a martial arts grand master!â
âHowâs that possible?â
As they all knew, the position of a Grand Master Strong was equal to that of a famous family!
âBut who would be treated with such reverence by He Chen?â
The thought made them shiver, and even their bodies could not help, but tremble. There was only one sentence in their mind,
âZi Yan married a martial arts grand master!â
This sentence echoed in Zi Qiangâs and Xu Xinyuâs minds.
âOh myâŠâ Zi Qiang was stunned.
âThisâŠâ Xu Xinyu didnât know what to say.
âMy gosh, Yanâs husband is a grand master!â Zi Peng exclaimed!
âHee hee.â Just then, Liang Mengqi began to chuckle. She took Xu Xinyuâs arm and said, ââUncle Qiang, aunt Xu, look. Just as I said, the boss is very powerful. How about that? Are you surprised?â
In the face of Liang Mengqiâs question, the several uncles and aunts were in a confused state.
âAre we surprised?â
âWe were nearly scared to death!â
At this time, He Chen turned his gaze to Zi Qiang, and walked towards the man with a smile.
âZi Qiang, Xu Xinyu, you are the best. If only my daughter were like Zi Yan. Your precious girl and master Zhang are really enviable.â
Under the dazed gazes of the others, He Chen came over and began chatting with Zi Qiang.
However, as soon as he sat down, a series of people came!
They all came alone.
But each of their influence and importance was frightening!
Zi Qiang had no chance to sit down again. Every time he saw a new guest, his face became paler than before.
âGuan Long, early-stage Grand Master!â
âHe Zehua, middle-stage Grand Master!â
âQi Gao, middle-stage Grand Master!â
âLeng Shijie, middle-stage Grand Master!â
ââŠâ
One by one, the visitors gave all the people present a shock, and their attitude after their arrival, made Fang Huanâs face turned ashen!
None of them paid any attention to Zi Qingtian. After scanning the crowd, they all looked at He Chen and made respectful gestures, and laughed.
âBrother He, today we are all here to see Master Zhang!â
After saying that, they asked,
âWho are Zi Yanâs parents?â.
Each of them made a respectful gesture to Zi Qiang and Xu Xinyu after asking this question, and then congratulated them!
The people present could not believe their eyes.
They thought that such a famous person as Patriarch Liang would be the highest ranking guest today.
HoweverâŠ
The family gathering was about to develop into a grand master gathering!
âEight grand masters!â
âThey all came because of Zi Yanâs husband?â
âWhatâs his identity?â
âA man who was able to make these famous middle-stage grand masters turn up with such enthusiasmâŠâ
âIs master Zhang already at the late stage???â
Many people felt almost breathless, because of the impact of the news!
Even Liu Qingfeng, Patriarch Liang and Patriarch Fan felt that their legs going soft, and unable to support them.
There were martial arts masters all around. If they made some mistakes, they might be destroyed!
The others were thinking that,
âAll those men over there patriarchs and grand masters!â
To be exact, there were two young people present.
Liang Hao sat solemnly, looking left and right, but he did not dare to say anything.
âThey are all great masters!â
Liang Mengqi was much more relaxed than Liang Hao, but when she was talking with Xu Xinyu, her mobile phone rang. She answered the phone, âZhao Feng, when will you be arriving? Itâs busy here. But just now, Patriarch Zi and Fang HuanâŠâ
The present masters had excellent hearing, and Liang Mengqiâs words made them look at each other.
âThat girl is talking about us!â
With the arrival of these masters, the temperature at the square dropped sharply. Finally, no one dared to speak loudly, and they were all looking at the direction of the right corner.
All of a sudden, there was another exclamation.
âSecretary Yuan is here!â
âSecretary Yuan?â
Zi Qingtian and others were confused. They felt the name was familiar, but they could not remember who it was.
They saw a group of more than ten people walking towards this side. After they saw who the well-dressed leading man in his fifties was, Zi Qingtian and many businessmen stood up in astonishment.
âSecretary of the head!â
Hiss!
Why was the name so familiar? Because the guest was the powerful secretary Yuan!
Many people ran over to welcome secretary Yuan.
In terms of strength, secretary Yuan was just an ordinary person, but for all the businessmen at present, he was in charge of the economic lifeline!
More than 20 people, led by Zi Qingtian, had just walked seven or eight steps.
They saw secretary Yuan and his entourage stepping onto the platform.
Seeing them, secretary Yuan waved his hand.
Zi Qingtian and the others stopped at once, surprised.
âWhy is secretary Yuan here?â
âIs he also here forâŠâ
As soon as they thought of it, secretary Yuan said in a flat voice,
âJust go about your business, donât bother about me. Iâm just here today to receive general Zhang!â
âBang!â
Fang Huan, who had just calmed down and was about to have a sip of tea, suddenly dropped the cup to the ground, and she was stunned.
âGeneral Zhang?â Zi Qingtian repeated these words with great difficulty.
Hiss!
âGeneral Zhang!â
A lot of people felt that their brains had been critically damaged.
âIs a masterâs identity not enough?â
âA general?â
Secretary Yuan did not pay any attention to them. He looked at Zi Qiang and walked toward him with a rare smile,
âYour daughter married a genius. Congratulations.â
Zi Qiang shook hands with secretary Yuan, in a daze.
âIt is said that secretary Yuan never smiles, but now⊠He is smiling at me!â
At that momentâŠ
âOh? Itâs very busy here.â
There was a sound coming from the side of the platform, and an old man with white hair and square face, stepped onto the platform
The facial expressions of the crowd changed with his arrival.
Su Long, the head of the Spirit Group in Singapore.
âHe is a late-stage grand master, and he has not made an appearance for a long time!â
Spirit Group was an official organization of martial artists equal to the National Security Agency of Hua nation. Su Long was the supreme officer of Spirit Group.
He was a late-stage grand master, who was very well known for many years! And Su Mu from his family, was also the leader of the younger generation, in the martial arts circle in Singapore.
Su Mu was a middle-stage grand master, and the most promising talent of the Su family who could surpass Su Long!
He even came in person. Zi Qingtian did not want to know why.
The reason was obvious.
They definitely did not come for Zi Qingtian.
âHe Chen, Guan Long, Qi Gao⊠Secretary Yuan. You are all here?â
Su Long greeted his friends casually.
âChief Su, why are you here?â Secretary Yuan said with a smile.
âHa ha ha.â Su Long walked to the right corner and replied,
âDirector Zhang is coming to propose marriage, and I must come here to have a look, and at the same time, to prevent some short-sighted guys from offending him. According to his character, if he gets angry⊠The situation will be out of control. There are so many people here, how can I just stand by and watch?â
âDirector Zhang? Grand Master Zhang is the director of the National Security Agency?â He Chen was stunned.
Even he was surprised.
Not to mention the other people.
Zi Qingtianâs eyes dulled, and the lack of oxygen in his brain almost knocked him out.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
But his face was pale, and he felt that it would be better if he fainted.
At this moment, there were only a few short sentences going around in everyoneâs minds.
âMartial arts grand master!â
âGeneral!â
âDirector of the National Security Agency!â
âAny one of these titles represented great power and gave others a strong sense of oppression. However, he owns all these three titles?â
âWhat kind of person did Yan marry?â Zi Peng looked at Zi Qiang in confusion.
âShe married a⊠promising⊠great man!â
Su Long took over the topic as he said this, then he looked back at the top of the mountain opposite the lake.
âHe is coming!â Su Long said slowly.
