Chapter 1619: Strong Strength

~7 min read 1,329 words

"I won't be staying here for long. Go back and tell the current person in charge to select the candidates however they see fit." Chen Yu shook his head. He glanced at the list and then said, "Also, for the people on this list, tell them to be more careful about their safety."

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?" Qishu's face turned slightly pale; he had not yet grasped the subtext of Chen Yu's words.

"The Huang Family father and son have been entrenched here for so long; do you really think they have no influence at all?" Chen Yu smiled. "Since he dared to stir up matters of pursuing immortality, there must be someone behind him, and this person's strength is very great."

"The position of president has provided them with many conveniences, so when their status is threatened, what do you think they will do?"

"They will kill everyone who has the potential to become president?" Qishu finally understood what Chen Yu meant. His face turned slightly pale, and for a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.

"Don't worry, with me here, you will be very safe, but I can't look after the others that much. Notify them." Chen Yu said, "Whether they believe it or not is up to them; let everyone face their own Heavenly Mandate."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Chen. I will go and notify them now so that everyone can be on guard." Qishu steadied himself. This was all he could do for now; there were some things he was powerless to change, and he could only leave it to fate.

After Qishu left, Chen Yu also walked out of the private room, intending to leave.

Just at this moment, a man in a suit and leather shoes, dressed impeccably, walked in.

This man looked like a successful person; he wore a luxury watch worth hundreds of thousands on his wrist, and his custom-made suit was likely worth tens of thousands.

Moreover, he was followed by several lackeys, looking extremely prestigious.

Chen Yu was slightly stunned. This fellow looked familiar; could he be a former classmate?

As soon as this guy stood in the shop, he looked imposing, like a nouveau riche. The shop assistant immediately went up to greet him: "This gentleman, please come in. Is this your first time here? If you have any needs, you can tell me directly."

"Coming here, of course, is to get some good things to play with." The man took off his sunglasses and then said unhurriedly, "Bring out whatever good things you have for me to appraise. Don't bother bringing out anything worth less than three hundred thousand RMB."

"Sir, you've come to the right place. This is the largest antique shop in all of Fusang. The boss is Qishu. You know Qishu, right? A big shot in the antique world, renowned throughout the entire Chinese Community." The assistant began to boast.

"Heh, if it weren't for your Qishu's reputation, who would come here to buy things?" The man sneered. "Cut the crap and bring out the good stuff."

"Alright, this way please, sir." The assistant hurriedly ushered him in, and as he passed Chen Yu, he nodded to him.

"Eh..." When the man passed by Chen Yu, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He stopped, narrowed his eyes, stared at Chen Yu for a long time, and then said, "Do we know each other?"

"We probably do; you look familiar to me too." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"This..." The assistant on the side was slightly startled. If this person knew Chen Yu, he would have to treat him seriously.

After all, Chen Yu was currently famous throughout the Chinese Community with a very high reputation. If the person in front of him knew Chen Yu, the items brought out would naturally be the real deal.

"You go ahead and get busy; I'll handle this." Chen Yu smiled slightly, blocking the words "Mr. Chen" from the assistant's mouth just in time.

Chen Yu was a low-key person, and no matter where he went, he couldn't change this habit. He wasn't trying to show off in front of others.

"Alright." The assistant was also a sharp person; he knew from Chen Yu's expression that Chen Yu didn't want the other party to know his identity, so he nodded quickly and turned to leave.

"Chen Yu?" The man stared at Chen Yu for a long time before finally reacting.

"Right, you're Chu Jin, aren't you? Haha, I remember you were in the student council during university, right?" Chen Yu smiled slightly. Being from the same school and the same department's student council, they certainly knew each other.

"That's right, you remember quite clearly." Chu Jin laughed. "I didn't expect to run into you here. Where are you developing your career now?"

"Nowhere, just muddling along." Chen Yu shook his head. Actually, to the current Chen Yu, money was just a number, but he didn't really want to reveal his background.

"You're here for travel, right? Heh, there are quite a few antique streets in the country. Why come here? Is it because the ones back home are too much of a rip-off?" Chu Jin asked with a smile.

"You could say that. The antique business is deep; it's the same everywhere." Chen Yu smiled.

"No, it's different here. This is Fusang. Even people from back home have to do business honestly here." Chu Jin didn't miss the opportunity to show off his sense of superiority. "And according to my many years of experience hanging around in Fusang, the prices of antiques here are definitely the most favorable."

"Is that so? What you say seems to make sense." Chen Yu nodded, looking as if he wouldn't argue with him.

"Honestly, do you want to come to Fusang to develop?" Chu Jin said proudly. "I've already changed my nationality. I'm hanging out with a big brother here. I'm doing well here now, and I'm very familiar with their official Councilors and local gangs."

"If you want to come here to develop, I'll cover you. Don't worry, you'll definitely earn more than you do back home, and it'll be more comfortable than back home. At least you won't have to look at other people's faces to make a living." Chu Jin held his head high as he looked at Chen Yu.

"Then thank you very much, but I think it's better to stay in the country." Chen Yu smiled. He didn't take the bragging of this guy to heart.

To be honest, he had seen too many guys like this who felt they were amazing just because they were doing slightly better than their classmates and wanted to show off their superiority.

But Chen Yu didn't want to expose the other party either. Since the person was bragging away, it wouldn't be good to interrupt them, so generally, Chen Yu just watched them show off quietly.

"Really not considering it?" Chu Jin glanced at Chen Yu. "Not everyone has this opportunity. Some people have begged to acknowledge me as their big brother, and I haven't agreed."

"I know you might feel embarrassed to hang out with me, but that's nothing. After all, I'm doing well. Honestly, face isn't worth much; you should think it over carefully."

"Really don't need to consider it." Chen Yu shook his head and said, "I think I'm doing quite well right now, and I don't want to change my current situation. Really, thank you. If one day I really want to change my lifestyle, I'll come find you."

"Alright then, heh. People, sometimes, just can't let go of their pride. This is my business card. Keep it well. In Fusang, no matter what happens to you, as long as you contact me, I can solve it with a single word." As Chu Jin said this, he took out a business card and handed it to Chen Yu.
