"Hello, Mr. Jiang," a mellow voice came through the receiver.
"Mr. Lu, I'm at the entrance of the banquet hall on the third floor of your Chenming Clubhouse, I have something to discuss with you, could you please come out?" Jiang Chen spoke calmly.
Xiao Anjun and the others were taken aback, looking at Jiang Chen with surprise.
"Ah, Mr. Jiang, you're here? Haha, good, good, I'll come out right away."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen stepped aside, also giving way to the entrance.
"Hmph! What's he pretending for?"
Xiao Anjun sneered, "Do you think you're worthy of knowing Mr. Lu just because your surname is Jiang and you come from Jincheng? Apart from the Jiang Family of Jincheng, I really don't know any Jiang that could have Mr. Lu personally come out to greet them."
"Exactly, he's boasting a bit too much, isn't he?"
"Hehe, who does he think he is? Mr. Lu, are you talking about Lu Chengfeng? He expects Mr. Lu to come out and personally receive him? Has he had too much to drink?"
"He doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is! Knowing that this place is owned by the Lu Family, he still dares to brag so wildly? Wait until Mr. Lu doesn't come out, Chenming Clubhouse certainly won't let him off, he dares to impersonate a friend of Mr. Lu, how could the people here possibly let him leave!"
The crowd in the line all mocked him.
"Mom, will Jiang Chen be in trouble?" Xiao Yunna looked at Chen Lan nervously.
Chen Lan spoke in a low voice, "It's okay, if the people from Chenming cause trouble later, we'll speak up for him. This time, we must let him clearly understand that clinging to the powerful is not going to lead to any great achievement."
Xiao Yunna nodded slightly and turned to look at Jiang Chen, her eyes revealing a hint of blame, somewhat resenting Jiang Chen for pretending to be a friend of Lu Chengfeng.
"Who said only someone from the Jiang Family of Jincheng can have Mr. Lu come out to greet them?"
Jiang Chen glanced indifferently at Xiao Anjun, "When you were in Dingjing, you always acted superior. I initially thought you must have some insight being from S province, but now I realize I was wrong.
I shouldn't have sought out Xiao Yunna because someone as simple as you from the Secular World who is considered a big shot can't help me at all. If you were simply unable to help me, I would still be grateful.
But since you have repeatedly ridiculed me today, I can't help but offer you a piece of advice:
Xiao Anjun, you're taking yourself too seriously."
"You..." Xiao Anjun's face changed, and he glared at Jiang Chen with anger, suddenly feeling uneasy. Jiang Chen was too composed, and this composure made him vaguely feel as though he had missed something.
Thud, thud, thud!
A series of footsteps sounded, and when everyone looked up, they gasped.
"Mr. Lu?!"
"Mr. Lu actually came out?"
"Damn, Mr. Lu really came out to meet this kid? Who the hell is this guy?"
"This, this, this can't be possible, right? Maybe Mr. Lu has something to do and just happens to be going out?"
Everyone looked at the figure walking towards the entrance in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Mr. Lu!"
"Mr. Lu!"
As soon as Lu Chengfeng reached the entrance, everyone bowed and paid their respects to him.
After nodding to the crowd, Lu Chengfeng glanced around. When he saw Jiang Chen, he quickly walked over, all smiles, and said, "Mr. Jiang, what brings you here? If you had informed me earlier, I would have gone to the entrance to receive you!"
"Damn! What did Mr. Lu say? Did I hear that right?"
"Mr. Lu said he would go to the entrance to meet him? Who is this guy, really?"
"Even if it were the Family Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng, would they receive this treatment?"
"This, this... Did Xiao Anjun just push out a fierce dragon?"
Everyone gasped in shock; some looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment, while more reveled in schadenfreude at Xiao Anjun's expense.
Xiao Anjun's complexion turned incredibly ugly, filled with extreme regret as he cursed Jiang Chen under his breath, "If you fucking knew Mr. Lu, why didn't you say so earlier?"
If you had told me, would I have treated you like this?
You, are you fucking playing with me?
Chen Lan's face also changed, her eyes shifted as she turned to Xiao Yunna, whispering, "Na Na, since Jiang Chen knows Mr. Lu, why would he come to you first? Does he like you?"
"No, we were classmates before; he probably approached me first because of that," Xiao Yunna shook her head, quite lucid as she immediately understood why Jiang Chen had sought her out first.
A hint of disappointment flickered in Chen Lan's eyes. She looked up at Jiang Chen and then glared at Xiao Anjun.
Xiao Anjun, with an awkward expression, glanced at Chen Lan and looked at Jiang Chen with a complex gaze.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen no longer paid them any attention, smiled faintly at Lu Chengfeng, and said softly, "Mr. Lu, I've come this time because I have a matter for which I'd like to ask your help."
"Mr. Jiang, what are you talking about? Whatever I, Lu Chengfeng, can do, just say the word." Lu Chengfeng eagerly patted his chest.
The favor of an Innate Grandmaster was something he was very willing to earn!
"Mr. Lu... this polite?
"Holy shit, this guy... Xiao Anjun must be regretting it so much his guts are turning green."
The people at the doorway were astounded by Lu Chengfeng's attitude towards Jiang Chen.
"Let's find a place to talk, it's not too convenient here," Jiang Chen said softly.
"Yes, yes, my fault." Lu Chengfeng nodded repeatedly and gestured towards the end of the corridor, "Let's go to the office to talk."
Jiang Chen nodded, turned to Xiao Yunna, and said, "Xiao Yunna, thank you for bringing me to S Province."
"You're welcome, I haven't really helped much," Xiao Yunna replied apologetically.
Lu Chengfeng glanced at Xiao Yunna and then at Xiao Anjun, asking softly, "Mr. Jiang, are you friends with the Xiao family?"
"Xiao Yunna was a former classmate, but as for this Mr. Xiao... I don't know him!" Jiang Chen replied indifferently, returning Xiao Anjun's words back to him.
Snort!
"Haha!"
"That's what one gets for their own wrongdoings!"
The crowd at the door burst into laughter.
Xiao Anjun's face turned instantly somber; he missed a golden opportunity to get acquainted with Lu Chengfeng!
...
In the office on the third floor of the Morning Song Club.
Jiang Chen and Lu Chengfeng sat opposite each other.
Having learned of Jiang Chen's arrival, Chen Tao, Lu Chengfeng's personal guard at the Earth Grade Peak, also arrived at the office and took a seat beside Lu Chengfeng.
"Mr. Jiang, what's the matter you wanted to see me about?" Lu Chengfeng asked, looking at Jiang Chen with a puzzled face.
Xiao Anjun may not know what's going on with Jiang Chen right now, but he did.
Ever since the auction parted last time, Lu Chengfeng had been keeping tabs on Jiang Chen's movements.
So, he was well aware of Jiang Chen's status as the head of the Jiang Family.
Such a status was a real treasure to him.
Now that Jiang Chen had proactively come to him, Lu Chengfeng thought fiercely to himself that no matter what Jiang Chen needed help with, even if it cost him everything, he would do it.
