Chapter 54: Heir of the Black Gold Society

Jiang Feng was suddenly asked by Su Xueyan, froze for several seconds before he could react, and instantly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Why would you think that? I'm just friends with Wang Yunan."

Although Wang Haitao's hint was already very clear, he truly didn't think of it in terms of a romantic relationship.

Su Xueyan watched his candid expression and quietly let out a sigh of relief.

But his voice remained faint.

"I'm just curious. Wang Yunan used to steer clear of the opposite sex, and this is the first time I've seen her so attentive to anyone."

Actually, when she saw Wang Yunan tugging Jiang Feng's arm earlier, she felt a little uneasy.

Jiang Feng stared at her awkward side profile and suddenly found this ice‑berg CEO somewhat cute.

So Jiang Feng laughed and teased, "Then are you worried that Wang Yunan will whisk me away?"

"Who's worried!"

Su Xueyan's cheeks instantly flushed, she quickly turned her face away, snatched the briefcase from the table, and stood up.

"I'm tired, I'll go upstairs to rest first!"

After speaking, she practically skipped up the stairs, and even her back betrayed a hint of panic.

Jiang Feng watched her retreating figure and couldn't help bursting into laughter.

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Feng finished his breakfast and rushed to Jishi Hall.

Just as he arrived at the entrance, Hua Jing greeted him.

"Jiang Feng! Good news! Yesterday afternoon the supplier delivered the herbs. Though they're still a bit low‑quality, they're much stronger than we expected, enough for us to secure the medicine!"

Jiang Feng walked into the Medical Hall and scanned the herbs stacked in the corner.

Indeed they were slightly poorer than before the supply cut, but at least they could meet the neighborhood's demand.

He frowned, "They're usable, but we need to quickly secure a new supplier. We can't keep being toyed with by them forever."

"I've already arranged it!"

Hua Lao pounded his chest and said, "I've contacted Tong De Hall in the Provincial Capital, and we won't deal with the Li Family. I told them our situation, and they sent someone today to discuss cooperation. If we close the deal, we won't have to answer to the Li Family at all!"

Jiang Feng felt a sigh of relief, "Great! Hua Lao, thank you for your effort."

"Ah! I've been waiting for you to say that!"

Hua Lao happily went to sort the herbs.

Jiang Feng was preparing to see patients when, suddenly, two striking figures walked in from outside, Nie Ying and Nie Qianxue.

"Doctor Jiang, thank you for rescuing us last time and also helping the company solve a trouble!"

Nie Ying passed over a fruit basket, "My sister reserved a private room at Wen Tao Lou and invited you to dine; you have to go!"

Nie Qianxue smiled, "We've wanted to invite you for a while, always fearing you'd be busy. Today we booked Jiang Shan Hall with a river view; if you're free, shall we head over now?"

Jiang Feng glanced at the Medical Hall, noting there were few patients in the morning and Hua Lao could manage alone, and he nodded.

"Fine, but don't be so formal; it's just a simple favor."

"How could I not be courteous!"

Nie Ying pulled him along and said, "Hua Lao, come with us!"

Hua Lao quickly waved his hand, "You youngsters go eat; I'll watch the shop, you enjoy the food and drink!"

He realized the two sisters wanted to thank Jiang Feng privately, and he didn't want to be a third wheel.

The three took a taxi to Wen Tao Lou, and Nie Ying had already booked Jiang Shan Hall.

Thus, when they arrived, they went straight into Jiang Shan Hall to place their order.

Shortly after they entered Jiang Shan Hall, four young men and women also came in.

The Wen Tao Lou owner, upon seeing them, immediately approached with a beaming smile, "Zhao Shao, what brings you here?"

Zhao Qiancheng, arm around Ye Xiaoyue, said proudly, "Open Jiang Shan Hall right away; at noon I'm treating Young Master Zhang to a meal!"

The owner was instantly taken aback by that statement.

"Um... Zhao Shao, sorry, Jiang Shan Hall has already been reserved by someone..."

Zhao Qianrui frowned sharply at the words.

Since his elder brother Zhao Qiancheng was removed, he became the Zhao family's primary heir, enjoying boundless prestige.

And the guest he plans to treat today is not ordinary.

Zhang Chi, the sole son of the Dragon Elder of Black Gold Society.

Because Bai Lang died unexpectedly, the Dragon Elder appointed his son as a hall master.

This makes him the youngest hall master in the entire history of the Black Gold Society.

Thus Zhao Qianrui deliberately seized this opportunity to invite Zhang Chi to dine, and Zhang Chi naturally also wished to forge ties with the Zhao family's future heir.

Who would have thought anyone would dare seize their private room?

"Owner, chase them away; don't let them disturb our dinner."

"Uh..."

The owner felt a bit uneasy; although he didn't know Nie Qianxue's background, who could reserve Jiang Shan Hall unless they were someone special?

Perhaps noticing the owner's difficulty, Zhao Qianrui sneered, "No problem, I'll go ask them to leave myself."

Thus, the party made their way toward Jiang Shan Hall.

Meanwhile, inside Jiang Shan Hall, Nie Qianxue, Jiang Feng, and the others had just placed their order.

The main door was pushed open, and Ye Xiaoyue, stepping in high heels, rushed in, pointing at the table and shouting.

"This private room is ours! Waiter? Quickly clear the table!"

Zhao Qianrui, seeing the Nie sisters, gestured and said.

Ladies, we're taking this private room; you can go to another hall, it's on me!

Ye Xiaoyue only then saw Jiang Feng sitting on the sofa, her eyes widened instantly, then she let out a Cold Smile.

Yo, isn't this Jiang Feng? So, do you even deserve to come to Jiang Shan Hall for a meal?

She looked up and down at Nie Qianxue and Nie Ying, realized she didn't know them, and her attitude grew more overbearing.

Jiang Feng, if you have any sense, leave immediately; this private room isn't for people like you, don't hold up our meal.

Nie Ying's face turned red with anger.

How can you speak like that! We booked this private room first, on what grounds do you give it to them?

So what if we booked first?

Ye Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, leaned up to Zhang Chi, her Tone obsequious.

Hall Master Zhang, you've just become Hall Master, so you must use the best private room; these few paupers occupying the spot are costing you extra value!

Zhang Chi merely gave Jiang Feng a cold glance and said lightly a single word: "Get out."

He had been overseas before, only returned to the country these past few days, so he didn't know Jiang Feng or Nie Qianxue.

But this is Jiangcheng; as the Young Master of the Black Gold Society, no one can snatch anything from him.

Jiang Feng felt a headache when he saw Ye Xiaoyue; how could he keep running into this woman everywhere?

At this moment, Nie Qianxue also stood up, said calmly: "I booked this place; sorry, I don't have the Habit of giving up a private room."

Zhao Qianrui stepped forward immediately: "This person is the Young Master Zhang of the Black Gold Society; would you dare to cross the Black Gold Society?"

When those words were spoken, Nie Qianxue was stunned.

She wasn't frightened; she was simply speechless.

Black Gold Society? Two days ago, she had just killed a Hall Master, so what?

Seeing that Nie Qianxue didn't care, Zhang Chi's gaze at this moment finally showed a slight hint of emotion.

He, like when sizing up prey, looked up and down at Nie Qianxue, and his Mouth curled a cold smile.

No Habit of giving up a private room?

It's fine, the Black Gold Society will give you one!

Nie Qianxue's gaze grew colder: "So, does the Black Gold Society intend not to reason?"

Zhang Chi let out a Cold Smile, stepped forward, his aura instantly dispersed: "Reason? Here in Jiangcheng, when the Black Gold Society speaks, that is the Reason!"
