When Lin Zhan returned to his residence, Cheng Guanlin and his three sons were waiting anxiously at home to see Lin Zhan and Irene coming back.
"Brother Lin, why didn't you give me a notice beforehand so that I could pick you up at the airport? Look at what happened and let you go out to eat by yourself."
Cheng Guanlin had a loud voice and an apology on his face.
"It doesn't matter, Qingzhou is a place with outstanding people and I haven't been able to visit it properly. Brother Cheng, you don't have to be polite."
After a few polite words, Cheng Guanlin said what Huo Pingjin meant. Lin Zhan thought about it, since Huo Pingjin had already spoken, it would be unreasonable to pretend not to know.
"That's fine, but let me explain in advance that I came to Qingzhou for private matters and I hope my identity will not be exposed."
Cheng Guanlin nodded in agreement.
"I understand."
Cheng Guanlin knew that Lin Zhan had given him enough face, and he felt happy.
Huo Pingjin made such a big noise during a signing ceremony, just to show off, so what? If he wanted to curry favor with Lin Zhan, he had to go through himself.
"Nan Wulin Zhan, arrived!"
When the doorman came to report, Huo Pingjin hurriedly took the Huo family out to greet him.
"Mr. Lin."
Huo Pingjin said respectfully.
"Master Huo, you're welcome. Lin Zhan is here just to congratulate you and nothing else."
Lin Zhan smiled faintly and looked at the people present.
"Who is this person? Huo Pingjin looks a little scared. He should be a big shot."
"Lin Zhan? Never heard of it."
Lin Zhan chose to ignore the comments from people around him. Huo Pingjin moved Lin Zhan to the front position, accompanied by Cheng Guanlin.
Lin Zhan sat below, watching Huo Gengche and his partners exchange agreements on the stage.
I remember the warm applause from the audience.
After the signing ceremony, there was a celebration banquet.
"Chen Jiyuan, Chairman of Qingzhou Chen Family, is here!"
As soon as the doorman finished speaking, the door to the banquet hall opened and several people walked in. The leader was a man in his fifties with a crew cut and a cane in his hand. He was Chen Jiyuan, the current helmsman of the Chen family.
"Haha, Master Huo, if Chen comes to such a lively banquet today uninvited, Master Huo will not welcome it."
Chen Jiyuan laughed and said to Huo Gengche.
Huo Gengche was indeed a little surprised. They were both from a big family in Qingzhou. Although Huo Pingjin and Cheng Guanlin usually fought each other when they met, and they always shouted at each other, the two families could be considered family friends.
We usually interact with each other about big things and small things.
Even the Sun family has done it with dignity.
Only the Chen family has almost no contact with them. Not only the Huo family, but also the Cheng family, the Sun family, and Chen Jiyuan disdain to associate with each other and call themselves the same sect.
Therefore, Huo Gengche didn't want to invite Chen Jiyuan to this banquet at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't come. Why bother putting his hot face on his cold butt.
Huo Gengche didn't know how to answer Chen Jiyuan's words.
"Wherever, Chairman Chen is here, Pengpi is shining, please come inside!"
Huo Pingjin came over and took over the topic with a smile.
"Mr. Huo, you are still as strong as ever and your majesty is still the same as before. My father is not so lucky."
Chen Jiyuan's father passed away a few years ago, so now the Chen family is completely in the hands of Chen Jiyuan, the real head of the Chen family.
Huo Pingjin smiled and asked Chen Jiyuan to be brought to the main seat to prepare.
After Chen Jiyuan sat down, his eyes fell on Lin Zhan, who had been silent.
Lin Zhan did not raise his head, but poured himself a cup of tea.
"Brother Zhan, Chen Jiyuan came uninvited. It must be about Chen Da."
Eileen whispered to the side.
A sneer appeared on Lin Zhan's lips, "I will not offend others unless they offend me. The Chen family has always regarded themselves as descendants of the royal family and did not take anyone seriously."
Over the years, on the surface, I have kept aloof from the world, but secretly cultivated my own power.
"Mr. Lin, my father has to go back early, so why not come together?"
The program came to Lin Zhan and said.
Cheng Guanlin had already heard some rumors about what happened at the restaurant. Lin Zhan was his guest. If Chen Jiyuan didn't come in person, Cheng Guanlin also knew that he was here for Lin Zhan.
It is better to do less than to do more. Cheng Guanlin would not allow Lin Zhan to make any mistakes here.
"That's fine."
Lin Zhan stood up and Program led the way. Huo Pingjin saw Lin Zhan was about to leave.
"Mr. Lin, are you leaving now? You didn't take good care of me this time. I'll ask Mr. Lin to reminisce about old times alone some other time."
Lin Zhan nodded.
"I will stay in Qingzhou for a few days. If Mr. Huo has something to do, he can just go to Cheng Mansion."
After saying that, Lin Zhan wanted to walk out.
"Master Huo, this guest is very unfamiliar, why don't you introduce him to me?"
Chen Jiyuan stood up and looked at Huo Pingjin with a smile.
"Haha, Chairman Chen, don't be offended. This Mr. Lin is my old friend. He just passed by Qingzhou today."
Huo Pingjin laughed, he couldn't mess with either the Chen family or Lin Zhan. He was a little embarrassed for a while and didn't know how to introduce them.
Lin Zhan had told him not to reveal his identity beforehand.
"Nan Wulin Battle!"
Lin Zhan spoke directly and looked at Chen Jiyuan.
"Nan Wu, I've never heard of him. I thought he was a big shot, but it turns out he's just a bumpkin from a remote village!"
A young man following Chen Jiyuan curled his lips.
He had just returned to Qingzhou and had only heard about the Kunlun Mountains in general, but didn't take it to heart.
"Who are you? Mr. Lin is my friend, how can I allow you to talk nonsense!"
Cheng Guanlin immediately lowered his face and spoke unhappily.
"Am I wrong? Nanwu is just a small county. Calling him a country bumpkin is an exaggeration..."
The young man wanted to continue talking.
Snapped!
Eileen came over suddenly, raised her hand and slapped her.
"If you dare to insult Brother Zhan, I'll get you beaten!"
The slap was loud and clear, and everyone in the banquet hall heard it. Everyone looked here in shock.
"You, damn bitch, how dare you hit me!"
The young man covered his face and glared at Irene.
Chen Jiyuan's face didn't look good either, but after all he was a person of status, and it was his own person who spoke rudely, so it was a bit unreasonable.
"Chen Hao, shut up, you rude thing!"
As soon as Chen Jiyuan spoke, Chen Hao could only obey, covering his face with his hands and staring at Irene fiercely.
"Mr. Lin, the Chen family has always followed the rules and has never had any grudges with anyone for decades. I don't know how Chen Da, the dog, can grudge you. It would be too vicious to cripple one of his hands."
Chen Jiyuan's words were very plain, but his tone was cold.
"Chen Da was full of filthy words. If you didn't kill him, it was his fault. Master Chen, are you here to ask questions?"
Lin Zhan said calmly.
"Fart, it's obvious that you are ruthless, and you are blaming it on my eldest brother, named Lin. If you break your arms, the Chen family may spare your life, otherwise, you will never leave!"
Chen Hao said angrily from behind.
When Huo Pingjin saw that something was not going well, he quickly put on a smile.
"Chairman Chen, is there any misunderstanding here? Mr. Lin has just arrived in Qingzhou and he doesn't know your son. How could he be hurt by Mr. Lin? Is there someone else?"
Lin Zhan was invited by him, and Chen Jiyuan must not be allowed to harm Lin Zhan. Cheng Guanlin and his three sons also stood in front of Lin Zhan.
