"Mr. Li!"

At this moment, Chen Jianlin thought that Li Wujiang was angry at Jiang Chen, so he immediately brightened up, stood, and pointed at Jiang Chen shouting, "Mr. Li, don't be angry. This person isn't someone we insisted on bringing here; he shamelessly insisted on coming himself. We'll drive him away right now…"

"Nonsense!" Li Wujiang pointed at Chen Jianlin, bellowing furiously.

This domineering roar frightened Chen Jianlin so much that his body trembled, and he stood there dumbfounded.

Then, Li Wujiang turned his head and was already in front of Jiang Chen.

And, being this close, Jiang Chen also recognized the other party. His eyes suddenly took on a strange expression.

"Jiang, Jiang..."

When he got in front of Jiang Chen, Li Wujiang's voice even trembled. He himself could hardly believe it. He, a county's big shot, was filled with nervousness facing Jiang Chen, just like the first time he met his own boss years ago.

He hadn't finished speaking when his entire body bent lower.

"Thump!"

Li Wujiang knelt down in front of Jiang Chen!

He wanted to show his utmost sincerity with this gesture!

But this gesture shocked everyone in the private room, leaving them all stunned!

They all opened their mouths wide in disbelief!

The big shot of a county, the just now domineering Li Wujiang, actually knelt down!

He knelt in front of the young Jiang Chen, trembling like a lowly servant!

And Jiang Chen just stood there, unshakable and unfazed.

Shock!

Other than shock, there was nothing else!

But, but what on earth was going on?

But Jiang Chen understood; this was the sincerity Li Wujiang was offering him. However, Jiang Chen didn't want to reveal his identity, so he immediately bent down, held up Li Wujiang, and secretly exerted force into Li Wujiang's body, preventing him from continuing to speak.

"Mr. Li, my name is Jiang Chen. This is our first meeting, what's this about? Did you trip?" Jiang Chen then said.

Li Wujiang, being such a shrewd man, immediately understood upon hearing Jiang Chen's words. Mr. Jiang didn't wish to reveal his identity.

He nodded quickly, and once Jiang Chen withdrew his force, said, "Oh, yes, I'm getting on in years and my legs aren't as good. I tripped over a stool and fell."

"Phew—"

Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. So he had tripped.

They were genuinely terrified just a moment ago. What could be scarier than such an important figure kneeling to Jiang Chen?

But Lin Zhiyan alone blinked her eyes and looked at Jiang Chen and Li Wujiang with a peculiar expression.

By then, Jiang Chen had already helped Li Wujiang up, and Li Wujiang had returned to normal, laughing heartily, "But I think this stumble wasn't in vain, I see Mr. Jiang... Mr. Jiang is exceptionally talented, truly a dragon among men, destined for greatness in the future. Hahaha."

"Hehe, Mr. Li, you flatter me, but I do like what you have to say, so I won't decline it. Haha."

Jiang Chen supported Li Wujiang as the two looked at each other and laughed aloud.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jianlin was truly disgruntled. What was supposed to be a moment of humiliation for Jiang Chen had turned into his moment to shine?

"Jiang Chen, what are you laughing about? Didn't you realize that those were just polite words from Mr. Li? And you actually took them seriously? You really know how to flatter yourself!" Chen Jianlin immediately sneered.

Chen Jiaqiang, also unable to contain his anger, felt that his boss had embarrassed himself by kneeling unintentionally and definitely couldn't swallow his pride. He said with a full face of mockery, "Exactly. Could it be that just because you have the same surname as Mr. Jiang, you think you can sponge a bit of face off him?"

"Slap—"

Li Wujiang's expression changed; he released Jiang Chen, turned around to face Chen Jiaqiang, and delivered a harsh slap across his face, then pointed at him and roared, "Shut your mouth!"

Then pointing at Chen Jianlin, "And you, kid! Both of you shut up. If you bitch another word, I'll cripple you guys!"

Everyone was stunned. What was going on? Why was Mr. Li suddenly losing his temper?

Chen Jianlin and Chen Jiaqiang were dumbfounded, staring blankly at Li Wujiang.

Lin Zhiyan pursed her lips and smiled; she was the only one who understood why Li Wujiang was so angry!

Following Li Wujiang's outburst, everyone ate their dinner with trepidation. This was Yangqu County, where Li Wujiang was the absolute big shot. Offending him meant few among those present could walk out of Yangqu county.

During the meal, Jiang Chen got up and went to the bathroom. When he came out, Lin Zhiyan was waiting at the door.

"What's up?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise, seeing Lin Zhiyan evidently waiting for him.

Lin Zhiyan stared straight at Jiang Chen, full of confusion, "Why do you always prefer to keep such a low profile when you're clearly so capable? If you had just said you're Mr. Jiang after Mr. Li kneeled to you, what could have happened?"

"And what if I had said it? To be complimented and surrounded by people everywhere I go? What's the point in that?" Jiang Chen said with a slight smile.

Lin Zhiyan was taken aback for a moment, her eyes reflecting a thoughtful expression, yet she still felt somewhat baffled.

"I don't want to become a celebrity, yet some people keep pushing me forward step by step! All I want is to live a simple and happy life with Jing Yi!" Jiang Chen said indifferently.

Lin Zhiyan was stunned again. Were his wishes truly that simple?

"But there always are people who prevent me from living a peaceful life!" Jiang Chen sighed, then smiled and beckoned, "Let's go, let's head back."

Watching Jiang Chen's retreating figure as he walked back to the private room, Lin Zhiyan followed, her eyes filled with contemplative glint.

After dinner, Li Wujiang suddenly thought of something and turned to Gong Yue, "Miss, where did you say Jiang... Mr. Jiang lived?"

"He's living in a farm cottage!" Gong Yue looked at Li Wujiang, perplexed. Why was Mr. Li so concerned about Jiang Chen?

"This won't do!" Li Wujiang's face turned serious, and he was about to bow and apologize to Jiang Chen, but as soon as he caught Jiang Chen's gaze, he suddenly realized—Mr. Jiang wanted to stay under the radar, he couldn't...

After thinking it over, Li Wujiang laughed heartily, "Mr. Jiang, I really hit it off with you. In that case, please stay at my villa. I hope you won't find it beneath you."

"It doesn't matter to me!" Jiang Chen shrugged.

Li Wujiang breathed a sigh of relief; Jiang Chen had agreed, which meant he wasn't offended.

Chen Jianlin and the others were completely dumbfounded, staring intently at Li Wujiang to see if he was joking.

Of course, Li Wujiang wasn't joking. He came up to Jiang Chen and made a subtle inviting gesture, "Mr. Jiang, let's go, I'll take you to the villa!"

As Jiang Chen stood up to leave, he suddenly noticed Gong Yue still standing there stupefied and said with a light laugh, "What are you doing? Don't you want to stay at the villa?"

"I, I do!" Gong Yue uttered in a daze.

"Then why aren't you following me to pack your things?" Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and turned toward the exit of the private room.

Li Wujiang also politely smiled at Gong Yue and quickly followed Jiang Chen.

Gong Yue followed behind in a daze, leaving behind a room full of confounded companions.
