Chapter 19

Huang Tao

Chen Qiao

For Huang Tao, Saturday and Monday mean the same.

Lu Yu

Is the boss's pressure related to time?

However, Huang Tao is in a good mood today.

Because there will be a salon event this afternoon, Grand Chen Qiao will also attend.

Magic City

He, Huang Tao, will step on Grand Chen Qiao, soar to the heavens, and become a top domestic game expert!

Xiao Yu

At two in the afternoon, Chen Qiao appeared right outside Lu Yu's house on time.

He……still didn't go knock on the door.

The salon event would start at three, and the time left for Chen Qiao was actually not much.

But……a salon event compared to Xiao Yu's normal rest is nothing!

Is it just that he'll be criticized behind his back by people in the same industry?

Acting like a big shot? Not respecting the event? Not respecting the participants?

Hehe……

As long as Xiao Yu can keep making games like Plants vs. Zombies, who would dare criticize him?

Click!

Suddenly, the door was opened.

He Sui walked out from inside, almost bumping into Chen Qiao who was standing at the doorway.

"Ah! A thief!" He Sui exclaimed instinctively.

"Miss He……it's me! It's me, Chen Qiao!" Chen Qiao shouted quickly.

He Sui then realized, looking astonished, and said: "Director Chen? You……why are you standing at the door without saying anything? You scared me to death? I thought it was a thief."

What could Chen Qiao say?

He, the esteemed founder of Grand, was actually mistaken for a thief!

More importantly, this house……is still nominally his!

In front of his own house, being mistaken for a thief—who else could it be?

The key is……he still can't lose his temper.

"Um……I……has Xiao Yu gotten up yet?" Chen Qiao didn't know how to explain.

"He's up, Director Chen, come in." He Sui said while speaking, but her gaze toward Chen Qiao was a little different.

Chen Qiao's mouth twitched wildly……he……was being treated as a weird person!

……

Chen Qiao still went with Lu Yu to the Mo Du Hotel.

As of now, the Mo Du Hotel should be considered the highest-standard hotel in all of Mo Du, with an enormous conference room and fitness facilities, basically leading half an era.

At that moment, Chen Qiao and Lu Yu arrived in front of the Mo Du Hotel's entrance.

"Xiao Yu, don't be nervous later; if you don't understand something, you can ask me." Chen Qiao smiled at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu, after all, is a country kid, previously troubled by poverty, surely hasn't seen big scenes, so he'll be nervous.

Chen Qiao is just that thoughtful!

Lu Yu lightly nodded, his expression unchanged, saying: "Uncle Chen, let's hurry in, the attendant nearby……"

Chen Qiao then noticed the attendant slightly bending beside him, whose smile had already stiffened.

He……actually made a fool of himself!

……

"Old Chen, Old Chen!" Just after Chen Qiao and Lu Yu had entered the hotel a little while, an urgent shout came from behind.

"Old Xu?" Chen Qiao turned and saw Xu Nian.

"Old Chen……maybe……maybe you shouldn't participate in this salon event." Xu Nian's breathing was still a bit rushed.

"Old Xu? What's wrong? Why won't you let me join this salon event?" Chen Qiao's face showed confusion.

"Ah……" Old Xu sighed, then related the matter of Huang Tao.

"Hahaha……Old Xu, Old Xu, are you not taking me Chen Qiao seriously at all? It's just Huang Tao? Come on, follow me!" Chen Qiao laughed loudly, not giving Xu Nian a chance to refuse, pulling him forward.

"Old Chen……be honest with me, do you have some secret weapon?" Xu Nian asked.

"Secret weapon?" Chen Qiao rolled his eyes, his gaze slowly settling on Lu Yu.

This probably doesn't count as a secret weapon, does it? It's already out in the open!

……

"Chen Qiao, that man is Grand's Chen Qiao!"

"But……who is that little kid beside him? Why would Chen Qiao bring him along?"

"Is he Chen Qiao's nephew? Chen Qiao brought him here to learn? But such a young child, what could he know?"

As soon as Chen Qiao appeared, he drew attention.

Then, everyone's gaze focused on Lu Yu.

Today's salon event is quite high-standard; those who can get in are considered industry elites.

So, the atmosphere in the venue is actually relatively solemn.

A little kid showing up at such an occasion is indeed… not very appropriate.

It's just Chen Qiao; if it were anyone else, they'd probably have been kicked out long ago.

There are still some who can't help whispering, gossiping about Chen Qiao.

"What is Chen Qiao doing? Actually bringing a little kid to such an important occasion?"

"He doesn't even take us seriously, does he?"

"When the event starts later, what if this kid cries and makes a fuss?"

"It's hard to live up to one's reputation; that saying fits Chen Qiao quite well."

Huang Tao directly retorted, his face showing disdain, but inside he was actually… overjoyed!

He originally came just to stir up trouble… using Chen Qiao to boost his own fame.

Chen Qiao brought a little kid over?

Heaven helps me!

Huang Tao is already full of anticipation for today.

……

"Xiao Yu, you and Old Xu play here for a while, I… I'll go to the bathroom first, I'll be back soon." Chen Qiao also didn't know if he ate something wrong, urgently needing the bathroom.

As for that, Lu Yu naturally didn't care.

He continued to observe the crowd around him.

Those who can come here are indeed all notable figures.

But… because of the limitations of the era, their conversation actually didn't help Lu Yu much.

Just now Chen Qiao had some contact with that industry bigwig, but…

Their ideas are totally outdated!

Lu Yu also lost interest in this salon event, his mind set on finding something to eat.

Xu Nian, who had been standing beside Lu Yu all along, had already observed Lu Yu for quite a while.

Based on his earlier understanding of Chen Qiao, he knew Lu Yu wasn't Chen Qiao's relative, so… just who exactly is this little guy?

Why does Chen Qiao value him so much?

Right! When I just mentioned the secret weapon, Chen Qiao also glanced at this little guy.

So… this little guy is Grand's……

Thinking of this, Xu Nian quickly shook his head; this idea was just too absurd.

"Little kid, how did you end up here?" Suddenly, a voice sounded.

Huang Tao walked over toward this side.

"What do you want!" Xu Nian recognized Huang Tao and immediately stood in front of Lu Yu.

Huang Tao's smile grew even wider.

Chen Qiao's friends value this little guy a lot; so… as long as I just deal with this little guy a bit, Chen Qiao will naturally end up embarrassed!

"Why are you so nervous? I just noticed there's a kid here and thought it was strange." Huang Tao said with a laugh.

"What does my being here have to do with you? Is this place your family's business?" Lu Yu spoke.
