Chapter 98: Eagerly Coming to the Door

~7 min read 1,264 words

After getting out of the car and saying hello, I realized it wasn't like that.

"Is that so?" Xiao Ming saw his son's happy expression and asked further: "Tell me about it."

"Dad, when I called you earlier, you said to first communicate with the other side, see their attitude, and if we could peacefully resolve things, peacefully resolve them, I was preparing to do as you said, but I hadn't even thought about acting yet when the other side came to me first to communicate."

"I never expected that the person chasing my car king would actually be a celebrity."

"What person?" Xiao Ming continued to ask.

"Zhu Luo, that person's name is Zhu Luo." Xiao Yunzhe said excitedly.

Xiao Ming didn't know this person, and just as he was about to ask about the other party's situation, Xiao Yuchun beside him interjected: "Zhu Luo, are you the big internet celebrity Zhu Luo? The Zhu Luo that netizens call Taiziye?"

"Yes yes yes, it's definitely that Zhu Luo." Xiao Yunzhe excitedly continued: "Zhu Luo is really nice; when he came over to my house, he apologized to me, and I didn't expect we'd get along so well, feeling like old friends at first sight."

"Dad, he invited me to his sports car club, and I also attended a gathering with him. I thought it would be good to make more friends and see the world, so I went. Later, I was so happy that I came back a bit late."

As he said that, Xiao Yunzhe furtively glanced at Xiao Ming's reaction, afraid Xiao Ming would be unhappy, and he hurriedly explained: "I went, had a few drinks with them, got drunk, and I hired a designated driver; I absolutely did nothing inappropriate."

"Besides, I joined that sports car club, with no other intention, just wanting to make more friends." Xiao Yunzhe clearly understood that his current good life was entirely thanks to Xiao Ming, and he had also seen how formidable his father was.

He wasn't sure if what he did was right, so he wanted to seek Xiao Ming's opinion.

"JM Sports Car Club?"

Xiao Ming fell silent.

He had heard of this club before; its members are basically rich kids from wealthy families, and the club was founded supposedly to make more friends.

That's right; in such a place you can indeed make more friends and also occasionally get some advantageous information.

"Sure, go ahead, you can join."

"Hehe, okay." Seeing Xiao Ming not object, Xiao Yunzhe immediately became happy: "Thanks, Dad."

Afterwards, he hastily grabbed a quick breakfast and then left.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Dad, Zhu Luo said he'd take me to a famous race car in An Jin to have some fun, don't worry, I won't mess around, I'll ensure my own safety." After saying that, Xiao Yunzhe went to the garage, took that McLaren, and left.

"Dad, I'll first go to the beauty salon for some treatment, then we'll go to the amusement park, you can't back out, okay?"

Xiao Yuchun also cheerfully said goodbye to Xiao Ming and left.

After Xiao Yuchun left, Xiao Ming suddenly stood up, murmuring two words: "Zhu Luo, Zhu Luo?"

He seemed to have heard of this person somewhere, but he just couldn't recall; hearing Xiao Yunzhe say, he is a celebrity?

Xiao Ming thought for a moment, then used his phone to search online.

After seeing online the topics about Zhu Luo and that wealthy young master Zhao Cong, he thought for a moment and called Zhao Dequan, the boss of Guomao Yudu Shopping Mall.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Dequan was extremely surprised when he received Xiao Ming's call.

Or rather, he was delighted beyond measure.

Given his current social standing, only a handful of people could make him feel this way.

But Xiao Ming is one of them.

"General Manager Xiao, hello!" Zhao Dequan greeted respectfully after answering the call.

"General Manager Zhao!" Xiao Ming got straight to the point: "Trouble you to give me your son Zhao Cong's contact information; it's no big deal, I just want to find him and ask about someone."

"Okay okay, General Manager Xiao." Zhao Dequan heard this, his worried heart instantly relaxed, and he hurriedly said: "General Manager Xiao, my son happens to be in An Jin right now; otherwise, I'd have him come find you. To inquire about a person, speaking face-to-face would be clearer, what do you think, General Manager Xiao?"

"That sounds good, though, would General Manager Zhao find it inconvenient?" Xiao Ming also thought meeting in person would be nice, allowing for more detailed discussion.

"It's convenient, it's convenient, General Manager Xiao, give me an address and I'll have my son come over right away." Zhao Dequan replied hurriedly.

"Alright, I'll send you the address." After Xiao Ming and Zhao Dequan ended the call, Xiao Ming sent the address of Yuxi Villa.

At this moment, in the luxury villa district on Zhonghuan Road in An Jin, this place is one of the top luxury villa districts in An Jin, located beside Lu Clan's entrance, and is equally renowned with Soup Flavor Brand and Eastern Jade Pearl.

In one of the villas in the district, Zhao Dewen put away his phone, hurriedly rushed to his son's bedroom door, and forcefully flung open Zhao Cong's door.

"You little brat, still sleeping? Get up quick, we have something very important to do." Seeing his son open the door and then dive back into the covers, Zhao Dequan grabbed his son and threw him into the bathroom.

Soon after, Zhao Cong, who had been out with friends at a bar until three or four in the morning the previous night and only just got home, stumbled into the living room half-asleep, looking pitifully at Zhao Dequan.

Zhao Dequan rarely treated his son so strictly, but today he was very stern with Zhao Cong, after explaining Xiao Ming's request to see him, he ordered Zhao Cong to go to the Yuxi Villa District to find Xiao Ming.

"Dad, I don't want to go; can I not go?" Zhao Cong wailed, though he actually didn't hold much hope, and his drowsiness had mostly worn off.

He hadn't seen his father treat him this strictly in a long time, which only shows that the person he wants him to meet is very important.

Although he is the son of the richest man in Wuxingguo, why would he be so eager to rush over to see that someone?

Does he have to put on such a fawning expression just because that person wants to ask him about someone, rushing to their door like this? It's utterly shameless.

If this gets out, where could he put his face?

"You little brat, normally I wouldn't say this, but if you mess this up, see how I'll deal with you." Seeing his son's unwilling expression, Zhao Dequan flew into a rage and slapped his son's head.

"Don't think that just because your father has some status you don't know how vast the world is; the saying goes, there are always people greater than you and heavens beyond heaven; my status here, standing before them, is practically just a younger brother, with no comparison at all."

"I've told you before, that person is really formidable; I've tried several times to connect with him but never got the chance, he is..." Zhao Dequan shared his understanding of Xiao Ming with Zhao Cong roughly, and after hearing it, Zhao Cong completely lost his sleepiness.
