Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Young and Promising
As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Wang Chen looked up. In front of him was a tall and grand restaurant. On the gold-lettered signboard, "Xiangyun Tower" was written with flying phoenixes. The overall layout was magnificent. Even the place where the carriage was parked was an astonishingly wide courtyard.
.
After hearing the announcement, a group of people came out of the restaurant. In the middle was a man who was over fifty years old, but had dark hair and a red face. From a long distance away, he laughed loudly at Wang Chen and said: "Young Master Qingshu is willing to show his face. This time
The business banquet has gained another highlight! Master Gong, please forgive me. President Huo is entertaining the leaders of the "Rising Sun Merchant Alliance" and will be here soon."
It turns out that this person is not the one in charge of this place.
Suddenly, people on both sides of him, including cultivators and merchants, all smiled and cupped their hands at Wang Chen, saying complimentary words and looking extremely respectful.
Wang Chen neither denied nor spoke, but smiled and nodded.
When Qian Xiaoyun on the side saw what he did, he remembered something, his beautiful eyes flashed, and he pursed his lips and smiled.
Wang Chen has a well-proportioned figure, a slender height, and the beauty Qian Xiaoyun is following him shyly. In addition, the people in front of him have preconceived opinions, so they can't realize that the person in front of them is not Gong Qingshu at all.
Even though he was only wearing an ordinary long robe, everyone just thought it was the simple habit of a superior person.
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage door behind him suddenly opened, and Gong Qingshu stepped out of the carriage with a livid face and let out a cold snort.
Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong, and the scene fell silent.
From time to time, someone looked at Wang Chen and then at Gong Qingshu, confused.
"As expected of Master Gong." Someone finally broke the silence.
Among the crowd, someone looked at Gong Qingshu with a flattering expression.
Seeing that someone finally recognized him, Gong Qingshu's face brightened slightly, but he only listened to the person continue.
"Even this attendant has extraordinary bearing." The man pointed at Gong Qingshu and flattered Wang Chen.
Worri!
A blood vessel on Gong Qingshu's forehead bulged, and he almost couldn't hold back and struck this blind guy to death with a palm.
"Nephew Gong! I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Finally, an old man walked out of the restaurant, wearing a bright red silk satin robe. Although his head was full of white hair, he was full of energy.
He walked a few steps, glanced at the group of people with a strange expression, and walked towards Gong Qingshu himself.
Gong Qingshu then forced a smile and walked down, cupping his hands and saying, "President Huo, my nephew is polite."
The people who had originally come out to flatter Gong Qingshu were startled, and then realized that something had happened. They looked embarrassed and hurriedly greeted Gong Qingshu.
As if going back in time, the same kind words from the merchants were repeated to Gong Qingshu, and then everyone surrounded him and walked into the house.
"Follow me."
As he passed by, Gong Qingshu glanced at Wang Chen coldly, and then said to Qian Xiaoyun.
"I'm sorry, I have to listen to him." Qian Xiaoyun's expression froze, he lowered his head and whispered to Wang Chen.
The two of them followed the crowd and walked inside together.
The lobby of this hotel has been tidied up, and about twenty tables of banquets have been set up. The tablecloths are all made of golden silk, which looks rich and wealthy, which is in line with the status of this chamber of commerce banquet.
The red-robed old man was talking to Gong Qingshu while leading him forward. In the middle of the lobby, there was a larger round table, made of brown-red ancient wood, exuding a faint woody fragrance.
Along the way, people kept standing up from the banquet: "President Huo! Young Master Gong! I am Mao Xiaofu from the Qingmu Chamber of Commerce."
"I am Yuan Yunli from Litong Chamber of Commerce."
The voice attracted the attention of many people, and they rushed to introduce themselves.
"Is that Gong Qingshu?"
Most of the people's eyes during the banquet were focused on Gong Qingshu.
Although President Huo is half a level above Gong Qingshu in terms of status, he is already old after all. Who knows how many more years he can continue to work?
On the contrary, it was Gong Qingshu who was young and promising, and held a high position. Even the guests sitting far away stood up, regardless of whether he could see him, and saluted from afar.
"Chongdu Gong Qingshu is a rare figure in this generation of the Chamber of Commerce. He is also a cultivator of Nirvana. He is both civil and military. It is estimated that he will be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in less than two years."
"It is said that he is well-rounded and has contacts with many sects and gangs. He is quite capable."
Suddenly there was a bustle at the table, and all the topics revolved around Gong Qingshu.
President Huo was smiling all the way, but he walked towards the table to himself, turning a blind eye to everyone's respectful addresses. On the contrary, Gong Qingshu smiled and held his hands in all directions, appearing polite and courteous.
It wasn't until they sat down at the main table in front of them that everyone in the banquet gradually calmed down and began to greet each other again.
Gong Qingshu may not necessarily be able to reach a high level, but there are not many opportunities to meet other presidents of chambers of commerce. If you can connect with one or two business routes, it will be of great benefit.
The main table was almost full of people. After President Huo and Gong Qingshu took their seats, the steward who had just mistakenly identified Wang Chen as Gong Qingshu began to warmly introduce the people present.
"Master Gong, this is Master Qiu of Huitong Trading Company, the largest elixir sales chamber in our southwest and central and northern regions."
"No, Master Gong is a young and promising person. He is already in charge of the Zhonghe Merchant Alliance at such a young age. Our firm is also a member of the Merchant Alliance, so how can we claim to be the biggest? From now on, I should rely on Young Master Gong more."
A spirited old man showed his kindness to Gong Qingshu.
"Thank you, senior! Qingshu still needs to learn more from you." Gong Qingshu smiled politely, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
He was young and promising, so he particularly liked the feeling of being sought after, especially by a group of people much older than himself, which made him enjoy it even more. His eyes seemed to pass by Qian Xiaoyun inadvertently.
The adoring eyes he imagined did not appear. Qian Xiaoyun was looking at Wang Chen with tenderness in his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, a look of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he quickly covered it up.
"This is the leader of the Dafang Chamber of Commerce. The business network extends directly to the northern desert area. It is the largest monster material trading chamber in the southwest."
The manager didn't notice Gong Qingshu's eyes and continued to introduce with a smile.
"Master Qingshu will pay more attention to our Chamber of Commerce in the future!"
"This is my son. I have always taken the young master as my example. I ask you to take care of the young master Qingshu in the future." The president of the Dafang Chamber of Commerce was a middle-aged man. He showed great kindness to Gong Qingshu and introduced a man beside him.
A young man whose name is about the same size as Gong Qingshu.
"This is..."
Every time the steward introduced someone, that person would stand up and salute Gong Qingshu. Gong Qingshu politely returned the salute, but his smile was a little stiff, but no one noticed it.
With a false smile and false words, this kind of scene made Wang Chen feel boring.
"By the way, who are these two?"
The steward made a round of introductions, but ended up where Wang Chen and Qian Xiaoyun were.
He thought that this was Gong Qingshu's attendant, so he looked at Gong Qingshu with questioning eyes.
"These two..." Gong Qingshu nodded, suddenly stood up, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
