Chapter 572 [Peak Showdown, Butcher vs Shadow] Seven
Chapter 572 [Peak Showdown, Butcher vs Shadow] Seven
The crowd became quiet at some point, and Li Tiancheng's polite words exploded over the crowd like rolling thunder, shocking everyone.
For those who came to participate in this business exchange event today, most of them did not know Xiao Feng and Tian Cao, but they knew Chen Fan!
Even...they knew everything about Chen Fan's deeds.
They knew very well that the young master who was kicked out of the Chen family faced powerful enemies one after another. He did not die at an early age, but rose up step by step. Not only did he slap the Yan family in the face, but he also had a Qing Gang that had taken root in the southern half of the country for many years.
Forced into a desperate situation!
But... what they didn't expect was that Chen Fan would actually know Li Tiancheng, the godfather of the Chinese business community, and they didn't expect that Li Tiancheng would be so polite to Chen Fan!
Among everyone, Chen Fei is undoubtedly the most shocked!
Yesterday, when Yang Yuan told the meeting that Chen Fan chose to come to Hong Kong to participate in business exchange activities because of Li Tiancheng's invitation, Chen Fei not only did not believe it, but also relied on his status as the head of the delegation to make things difficult for Aoxiang Group.
At this moment, Chen Fei felt like he was slapped hard on the face by Chen Fan.
Just like that day in the NJ Military Region compound.
A silent slap, no sound, but extremely painful!
Just when Chen Fei felt ashamed, Chen Fan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Li Tiancheng's hand: "Mrs. Li, you're very polite."
"Mr. Chen, not long ago, you said you wanted to introduce a business genius to me. It should be this girl, right?" Li Tiancheng smiled and took back his hand, turning his gaze to Tian Cao, who had previously eclipsed all the women present.
"Yes, Mr. Li." Chen Fan smiled and nodded, then said to Tian Cao: "Xiao Cao, this is Mr. Li Tiancheng."
"Hello, Mr. Li."
Previously, when she saw Li Tiancheng being so polite to Chen Fan, even though Tiancao had a pretty strong heart, she was still shocked. Now when she heard Chen Fan introduce Li Tiancheng to her, she felt it for the first time.
He adjusted his expression for a moment and regained his composure instantly. He smiled and extended his hands to Li Tiancheng.
"Girl, Mr. Chen told me that you were a good piece of jade. I didn't believe it. But after seeing her today, I finally believed it." Li Tiancheng didn't care about Tian Cao's actions, but stretched out his hand to greet Tian Cao.
He held it, but his eyes shone with surprise.
Surprise, the calmness that comes from the grass in the field.
He really couldn't imagine what made the girl in front of him so calm when facing him!
After all, as the godfather of the Chinese business community, his reputation is so high that even some senior officials and business giants cannot keep calm when facing him.
Faced with Li Tiancheng's compliment, Tian Cao smiled and pulled back his hand: "Mr. Li, thank you for your praise."
"Girl, excessive modesty is hypocrisy." Li Tiancheng laughed, then thought for a while and said, "Girl, I wonder if you are interested in being my assistant?"
Wow!
The people who came to participate in the business activities today were all extraordinary characters. After initially experiencing a brief shock, they gradually regained their composure.
But--
At this moment, hearing Li Tiancheng's words, they were dumbfounded again.
Because... in their opinion, not to mention the younger generation of elites, even those so-called business giants crying and begging for Li Tiancheng to teach them business experience are more difficult than reaching the sky.
But now, Li Tiancheng took the initiative to extend an olive branch and intended to cultivate Tiancao. How could this not shock them?
Not only them, but Tiancao himself was shocked.
But... soon, she calmed down again.
She knew very well that Li Tiancheng, the godfather of the Chinese business community, wanted to train her not because of how good she was, but because of Chen Fan's existence!
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kindness." This time, Tian Cao bowed respectfully to Li Tiancheng, and then she raised her head. There was no excitement on her face, but calmness: "But... Xiao Cao felt that...
Not suitable to be Mr. Li’s assistant.”
Um?
Rejected?!
Hearing Tian Cao's words in shock, not only the business giants and officials present, but also Li Tiancheng and Chen Fan were stunned for a moment!
Obviously, no one would have thought that Tiancao would reject this pie that fell from the sky!
"Girl, could it be that you don't like the position of assistant?" The smile on Li Tiancheng's face gradually faded, and his expression became slightly complicated.
Tian Cao shook his head quickly and said in a sincere tone: "Of course not! Your experience in the business world is legendary! It's Xiaocao's blessing that you can like Xiaocao. It's just... Xiaocao is too young and has limited abilities in all aspects.
There are some shortcomings. I am afraid that I am still not qualified to serve as Mr. Li's assistant. If Mr. Li doesn't dislike it, I will give Xiaocao five years. After five years, Xiaocao graduates from university and will serve as your assistant again. "
"Okay, okay, okay!" After hearing Tian Cao's words, Li Tiancheng was startled for a moment, then said "ok" three times in a row, smiled and joked, "It's not easy for you to know the disadvantages of forcing seedlings to encourage growth at a young age. But...
…Girl, I can’t guarantee that you’ll still be alive in five years, haha…”
"There are rumors from the outside that Mr. Li is not only proficient in business, but also has a lot of research on health preservation. I think it won't be a problem for Mr. Li to live hundreds of years." This time, before Tian Cao could speak, Chen Fan took over the words.
He came over, smiled and said: "Mr. Li, as the saying goes, good things come in pairs. Since you agreed to let Tian Cao learn from you, why not accept another apprentice?"
What kind of person is Li Tiancheng? After hearing what Chen Fan said, he immediately understood what Chen Fan meant. He looked at Xiao Feng behind Chen Fan with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen is talking about the young man behind you, right?"
"Yes, please ask Mr. Li to complete it." Chen Fan smiled and nodded.
Li Tiancheng sighed and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chen has already spoken, how dare I, an old man, not agree?"
"Thank you Mr. Li."
Hearing Li Tiancheng's words, Xiao Feng was shocked, took a step forward, and bowed to Li Tiancheng excitedly.
Seeing this scene, the officials and business giants at the scene were speechless for a while.
They wanted to know what it was that Chen Fan relied on to make the godfather of the Chinese business world make exceptions and recruit apprentices twice in a row.
In addition to being speechless, among the crowd, Cao Yi, who is a key member of the younger generation of the Qingyun Group thanks to the influence of the Cao family in the Qinggang, had an extremely exciting expression!
His mind instinctively flashed to the scene that day at Fudan University, when the young man in front of him, who was about to become Li Tiancheng's disciple, appeared in front of him wearing cheap clothes.
At the beginning of that day, not only his model girlfriend, but even himself felt that Xiao Feng and Cao Wei were together because they wanted to eat swan meat!
Later, when his sister Cao Wei revealed that the young man was a friend of Chen Fan and the grandson of Xiao Yuanshan of the Aoxiang Group, he was shocked and extremely angry.
Someone tried to break the young man's legs, but gave up because there were too many bodyguards around the young man.
At this moment, seeing the young man become Li Tiancheng's disciple by virtue of Chen Fan's reputation, Cao Yi knew very well that the relationship between the young man and Chen Fan was beyond his imagination.
This shocked him and at the same time, his face became extremely ugly!
He was afraid that Chen Fan would deal with him because of Xiao Feng, and he was also afraid that Xiao Feng would completely skyrocket because of this!
But...then he remembered what his father Cao Jinghui said to him: Chen Fan was just a grasshopper after autumn and could not jump around for a few days.
Thinking of Cao Jinghui's words, the uneasiness in Cao Yi's heart decreased a lot, but he still felt uncomfortable. It seemed to be even worse than when Xiao Feng slapped him back!
After expressing his gratitude, the excitement on Xiao Feng's face slowly faded away. He did not take the opportunity to get acquainted with Li Tiancheng, but retreated behind Chen Fan again.
At the same time, the quiet crowd became commotion. Most of the people turned their attention to Chen Fan and his party and discussed something one after another.
Then, after an unknown amount of time, a convoy appeared on the empty road ahead.
The police car opened the way at the front of the convoy, with an extended red flag in the middle. In addition, there were also many cars with license plates from the Hong Kong Administrative Region government.
Seeing this scene, the crowd became quiet again.
Everyone is very clear that Wei Ming, the leader of today’s exchange activities, is here!
Soon, the motorcade stopped in front of the crowd. The driver with the extended red flag got out of the car immediately and opened the back door of the car. Wei Ming, who was about to stand at the top of the power pyramid of the Republic, stepped out of the car accompanied by the top leaders of the Hong Kong Administrative Region.
After the two got off the bus, the official figures from the imperial capital and officials from the Hong Kong Administrative Region got off the bus one after another, following Wei Ming towards the crowd.
With everyone watching, Wei Ming walked towards where Li Tiancheng and Chen Fan were with a smile on his face.
This time.
No one is shocked by this.
After all, Li Tiancheng's identity is too special, so it is only natural that Wei Ming greets Li Tiancheng first.
Furthermore, Chen Fan has a good relationship with the Wei family. They are well aware of the fishy nature of the Aoxiang Group being able to reappear here after being kicked out of the delegation by Chen Fei.
"Mr. Li, do you know Xiaofan?" Wei Ming walked up to Li Tiancheng and Chen Fan, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but the smile on his face was very natural.
After hearing Wei Ming's words, before Chen Fan could speak, Li Tiancheng rushed to answer: "Premier Wei, it is my honor to get to know such an outstanding young man as Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Li is really good at joking." Wei Ming chuckled, but his heart was in turmoil.
Not long ago, Wei Ming heard about Li Tiancheng's initiative to secretly help Chen Fan in Hong Kong from the top leader of the Hong Kong Administrative Region.
But...he didn't expect that Chen Fan's status in Li Tiancheng's heart was so high!
For a moment, Wei Ming felt that he underestimated Chen Fan, and he vaguely understood why his father chose to support Chen Fan.
After a brief courtesy, Wei Ming took the lead in walking towards the passage to board the ship, followed by Li Tiancheng and the top leaders of the Hong Kong Administrative Region.
Chen Fan followed Wei Ming, while Xiao Feng and Tian Cao followed behind him.
Looking at the group of people stepping onto the passage, everyone knew very clearly: Today, Chen Fan is the real protagonist!
"Chen Fan, I really want to know, when you become the protagonist and stand at the top, what will it be like to be kicked from heaven to hell by me??"
At the same time, Shadow Nie Feng, who watched Chen Fan board the ship smoothly, sneered in his heart.
