Chapter 31: Ye Group

At this moment, Jiangnan said nothing more, and simply said a line to Sun Zuwang.

"Family Head Sun, when the time comes I'll arrange for someone to bring that thing to you."

"I'm leaving now."

"Also, remember the spiritual fruit; send someone to deliver it to my hotel."

Having said that, Jiangnan said nothing else, turned and left.

Hearing this, Sun Zuwang quickly nodded in agreement.

Half an hour later, Jiangnan returned to the hotel.

Jiangnan roughly calculated the time and realized he had been in Yunzhou for a long while.

It was also time to go back.

Just as Jiangnan was still thinking, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Jiangnan, I'm in Yunzhou City, do you have time?"

"Could you accompany me to attend a Ye Group banquet?"

On the other end of the line came Murong Wan's voice.

Hearing that, Jiangnan thought for a moment.

Ye Group?

The group under Ye Zhentian?

Jiangnan still remembered that the Ye Group had been on the brink of collapse back then.

If he hadn't intervened, there probably wouldn't be the current Ye family.

Moreover, Ye Zhentian treated him as a friend across ages.

The point is that their temperaments matched especially well, which is why.

When Murong Wan mentioned the Ye Group, he recalled it.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Having said that, Jiangnan hung up.

In no time, Murong Wan was downstairs of the hotel.

Jiangnan got into Murong Wan's car and headed toward Tianhai Building.

Tianhai Building, located in the commercial core of Yunzhou, stands among countless skyscrapers.

And the most dazzling among them is the Ye Group's headquarters!

The Ye Group, a name that reverberates through Yunzhou's business world, has interests spanning every sector, its wealth and power striking fear into onlookers.

Tonight, Chairman Ye Zhentian of the Ye Group hosted a grand banquet, inviting celebrities from all walks, causing a sensation throughout Yunzhou!

And Murong Wan, upon entering the banquet, went straight to discuss cooperation.

Jiangnan, too lazy to bother with those matters, simply stood aside and sipped fine wine.

However, at that moment.

A very discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Yo, who's this? How dare you show up at a Ye Group banquet looking so shabby?"

A young man in a suit and leather shoes walked straight up to Jiangnan.

And that young man was none other than Wei Tianhai.

Seeing Wei Tianhai, Jiangnan frowned but ignored his provocation.

Because in his eyes, Wei Tianhai was nothing more than an ant.

He didn't want to argue with that ant over such things.

But Wei Tianhai persisted, continuing to mock: "Look at your miserly appearance—are you trying to sneak in to climb a higher branch? Don't even look at what your own status is."

Those around, hearing Wei Tianhai's words, cast contemptuous glances.

Hearing that, Jiangnan's complexion suddenly changed, turning gloomy on the spot.

However, at that moment.

Chairman Ye Zhentian of the Ye Group walked over immediately.

His appearance instantly quieted the scene.

After all, everyone present knew Ye Zhentian's temper.

Anyone who thought of causing trouble at the banquet would surely be taught a lesson by Ye Zhentian!

At that moment, upon seeing Ye Zhentian, Wei Tianhai immediately put on a flattering smile and approached: "Chairman Ye, you're here. I am Wei Tianhai of the Wei Family; I wonder if you remember me?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhentian gave a slight nod but didn't look at him at all.

His gaze fell directly on Jiangnan.

He smiled as he walked over, kindly patting Jiangnan's shoulder: "Jiangnan, I never expected you to be here. Since that parting five years ago, how long has it been since we last met?"

"Hahaha, truly nostalgic. Back then when you played chess with me, you lost in that manner."

Ye Zhentian showed no airs at all, speaking to Jiangnan as if to an old friend he hadn't seen in years.

And Wei Tianhai, seeing this scene, was stunned on the spot.

He never imagined Ye Zhentian would be so kind to this freeloader waste.

Even Ye Zhentian's words just now all indicated one thing: he had known Jiangnan for a long time!

The surrounding guests, upon seeing this, all showed surprised expressions, speculating about Jiangnan's identity.

After all, someone as unpretentious as Ye Zhentian is truly rare.

Ye Zhentian, seeing the crowd's puzzled looks, laughed and explained: "Jiangnan, he's an old friend I met many years ago, very capable."

"Back then, if it weren't for Jiangnan, I…"

Just as Ye Zhentian was about to speak, Jiangnan gave him a glance.

Seeing that, Ye Zhentian immediately fell silent and said nothing further.

The people present all began to speculate.

What was happening to Ye Zhentian, why did he stop speaking halfway?

However, at this moment Wei Tianhai was unlike those guests.

His complexion was extremely grim, exceedingly sullen.

Because he never imagined that Jiangnan, that freeloader, would actually be Ye Zhentian's friend!

At this moment his heart was full of jealousy and resentment.

He could not fathom how this worthless Jiangnan could be an old friend of Ye Zhentian, such a distinguished figure.

Thinking of this, Wei Tianhai suddenly conceived a grand scheme in his mind.

At that moment, an elegantly dressed noble lady approached; she was the wife of Chu Lingtian, Chairman of the Chu Clan Group in Yunzhou City, ever haughty.

Seeing Jiangnan so respected by Ye Zhentian, she couldn't help feeling curious.

"Chairman Ye, who is this young man?" the lady asked with a smile.

Ye Zhentian, smiling broadly, introduced: "This is Young Master Jiang, my old friend. Don't underestimate him; even if your husband Chu Lingtian were here, you'd still have to call him Young Master Jiang."

Hearing that, the lady's face filled with disbelief; she scanned Lin Xiao up and down, her eyes still holding a hint of doubt. "Oh? I wonder what extraordinary qualities Young Master Jiang possesses to earn such favor from Chairman Ye?"

"Even getting Chairman Ye to say that, even if my husband is before you, you still must call you Young Master Jiang?"

When Jiangnan heard this, he replied, "Madam, Chairman Ye's remark earlier was just a joke."

"I am merely a common person; how could I possibly have such ability?"

Jiangnan smiled and said to the lady.

He does not wish to reveal his identity so early now.

Otherwise, it would invite unnecessary trouble.

Keeping a low profile is better.

Hearing that, the lady let out a light laugh, then shifted tone: "I hear many talented young men have arrived at tonight's banquet, each bringing gifts for Chairman Ye. I wonder what Young Master Jiang has prepared for Chairman Ye?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present instantly became interested.

And Wei Tianhai felt a secret joy in his heart!

Jiangnan, being just a freeloader, could never have money to buy a gift.

If he presents the gift he has prepared and then offers it to Ye Zhentian, it will surely make Jiangnan lose face!
