Not long after, he arrived next to a young lady.
“Miss Chu, it’s almost nine o’clock. I don’t think there’s anyone here to support them. The big and small companies in River City and people with status won’t get involved. Whoever gets involved will be simply courting death…”
Chu Shuran crossed her arms and raised her chin slightly. She looked arrogantly at Ye Chen and muttered, “Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, a piece of trash will always be a piece of trash. Let’s see how you salvage this situation.”
At the same time, in a courtyard in River City, an old man finished performing a set of boxing moves in the courtyard. There were beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
The old man was Zhou Zhengde, the person Ye Chen had rescued the other day.
There were three people standing not far away, watching over the old man. One of them was his son, Zhou Fulu.
The other two were famous big shots in River City.
Although they were not the ones working out, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads for some reason.
After Zhou Zhengde finished performing his punch routine, someone brought him a towel and wanted to wipe his sweat off.
“I’ll do it myself.”
Zhou Zhengde took the towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then, he walked toward the three people.
“Dad, it’s almost time. The Heavenly Justice Group opening ceremony will start soon,” Zhou Fulu reminded him.
Zhou Zhengde nodded and looked at the two people in front of him.
“So, tell me, what did the Heavenly Justice Group do wrong?”
“Nothing… That’s right… We’ll definitely think of a way to remedy the situation…”
They had never expected that this old man would call them here so early in the morning because of the Heavenly Justice Group!
The Heavenly Justice Group was being boycotted by those families. What did it have to do with them?
They had been blindsided!
Who knew that the person behind the Heavenly Justice Group was Zhou Zhengde!
Zhou Zhengde snorted and threw the towel away.
“Remedy? Since you want to remedy the situation, why are you still standing here? The Heavenly Justice Group’s opening ceremony is at 9am! I want to see your remedy!”
The two of them were momentarily stunned, and then quickly ran out of the courtyard, disappearing from Zhou Zhengde’s sight.
“Dad, is Ye Chen really worth it? If we support the Heavenly Justice Group, it will damage our relationship with the Xia family,” Zhou Fulu said.
Zhou Zhengde’s eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his murky eyes.
“Fulu, why has your ability to judge people not improved? You sparred with him in the hospital that day. He’s a martial arts grandmaster, right?”
“That’s right, Dad.”
Zhou Zhengde continued, “You have witnessed his martial arts strength, and I have witnessed his unfathomable medical skills. Combined, he is way more terrifying than any grandmaster! A peerless genius who cultivates both medicine and martial arts is definitely extraordinary! If we don’t take sides today, we won’t have the chance to in the future!”
“So what if we break off relations with the Xia family? Can they even be considered our allies anyway?”
“I understand.”
“Have you prepared the flower basket I asked you to prepare?”
“I’m ready. It’s in the car.”
“Good! Let’s go now! This might be the most important day to change the fate of our Zhou family!”
Heavenly Justice Group, at 9am sharp, Ye Chen, Shen Haihua, and the others stood at the door. Still, no one came.
There were already a few media outlets outside who were ready to report on this issue. They had already prepared insulting headlines to match the occasion.
[The Heavenly Justice Group might be the fastest corporation to shut down in the history of River City.]
[The Heavenly Justice Group’s opening ceremony was so cold that no one even sent a decent flower basket.]
[River City’s Hall of Shame: The Heavenly Justice Group’s opening ceremony!]
Zhao Youcheng, who was standing outside, sneered and said to Chu Shuran, “Miss Chu, we don’t have to waste any more time here. No one will come.”
Chu Shuran nodded. River City’s mornings were quite cold. She had only waited this long because she wanted to see Ye Chen make a fool of himself.
From the looks of it, there was no need to stay any longer. The evening papers would definitely be all about today’s shameful opening ceremony.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw two beautiful figures appear in the distance.
They each held a flower basket in their hands.
Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi!
“Why are they here? Are they supporting the Heavenly Justice Group?”
The appearance of these two ladies instantly changed the atmosphere, as they looked like celebrities when they walked on the red carpet.
The crowd was noisy, and the reporters were snapping photos crazily.
This was definitely hot news!
Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi placed the flower baskets on both sides of the entrance of the Heavenly Justice Group’s building. Then, they winked at Ye Chen.
“Little Chen, are you very touched? I risked being fired to help you. If I’m fired, you have to support me,” Sun Yi said as she smiled.
Now that the Magnificent Group had been taken over by the Xia family, her actions would undoubtedly contradict the Xia family’s stance, and she would almost certainly lose her job.
Ye Chen smiled.
“Little Yi, you’re so good to me, so I can only devote myself to you. The Heavenly Justice Group just happens to be short of people. You can choose any position you want. Your annual salary will be ten times your current salary!”
Sun Yi rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and stood silently beside him. She knew that Ye Chen had to be under a lot of pressure now.
However, what was the point of having her and Xia Ruoxue’s support? They were just small fries.
“Who wants your devotion? Hmph!”
Xia Ruoxue also looked at Ye Chen.
“I’m curious. You don’t look flustered at all. Do you have some sort of trump card prepared?”
Ye Chen was just about to speak when there was a sudden commotion among the crowd!
A Maybach slowly pulled up in front of the entrance, and two powerful bodyguards got out of the car and opened the car door.
Moments later, a hunchbacked man in a suit stepped out of the car. contemporary romance
When this man appeared, the surroundings fell silent, because this man was the person in charge of River City Royal Club!
Everyone in River City knew this man!
If one wanted to become a top figure in River City, if one wanted to join the circle of truly influential people and forge connections, one had to become a member of River City Royal Club!
To do that, they needed this man’s approval!
Countless big families and entrepreneurs in River City had to respectfully address this man when they saw him.
Then, something even stranger happened. They saw that this hunchbacked man was actually holding a flower basket in his hand…
He stepped on the red carpet and walked toward the entrance…
“F*ck! What the f*ck was going on?”
“Why would the man in charge of River City Royal Club support the Heavenly Justice Group?”
Everyone looked on with widened eyes. There was both shock and fear in their eyes.. This person could decide the fate of many corporations and businesses in River City!
