NOVEL NEXT chapter 237 - Take a Seat
Li Wensan shook hands with Chen Long and praised him, saying, "Neither humble nor pushy, you have a great future ahead!"
The other entrepreneurs also quickly came over and shook hands with Chen Long.
After shaking hands, everyone took their seats in the venue.
Chen Long's mind was buzzing. He still couldn't figure out why he knew CEO Li Wensan.
Looking at Chen Long, Han Bang and the others felt a mix of emotions. As soon as Li Wensan arrived, their status instantly dropped... Moreover, Chen Long, the bumpkin they often mocked, actually had such a powerful background... For a moment, Section Chief Wang was sweating profusely. He quickly ran to Chen Long's side and said, "Xiao Chen, I've always thought highly of you!"
"After the event, I will definitely report it and get you the best reward," Section Chief Wang said.
"Don't worry, if anyone dares to bully or mock you in the future, just tell me, and I will definitely not let them off!" Section Chief Wang added.
"Uh... Xiao Chen... we might have had a tiny misunderstanding just now."
"To be honest, in life, there isn't always smooth sailing; a little bit of friction is inevitable."
"As the ancients said, we become friends through fighting..."
"You also know, I, Han Buxin, am such a straightforward and magnanimous person! Any unpleasantness is immediately forgotten..."
"Bang, you said so many angry words just now, why aren't you apologizing to Xiao Chen right away!" Han Buxin said to Han Bang.
Han Bang felt a mix of emotions. Chen Long, who he had always trampled underfoot, now had an even stronger background than his own!
This made him feel a great sense of loss and immense frustration.
But the other person was Li Wensan's friend, and he really couldn't afford to offend him... He could only grit his teeth and step forward, forcing a very strained smile, saying, "Brother Long... actually, you know me, I'm just outspoken. I actually think highly of you and Bingbing..."
"What I said before were just angry words. You know, when people are angry, they might say anything..."
"Brother Long, I apologize to you..." Han Bang reluctantly bowed, feeling a huge sense of disparity and humiliation in his heart.
He couldn't understand. Wasn't Chen Long just a bumpkin? How could he have latched onto a big shot like Li Wensan!
It was truly perplexing!
Han Buxin breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Han Bang wouldn't apologize. It was just a formality, after all. He glanced at Xia Honghai, whom he had just insulted, and then said, "Hahahaha, Old Xia, actually, I've long wanted to inject a large sum of capital into your company, but I was still weighing the pros and cons..."
Xia Honghai ignored him, looking in another direction.
As for Wang Sanhu of Sanhu Group, he didn't have much of a reaction, as this matter had nothing to do with him.
He only needed to show respect to Li Wensan. As for Li Wensan's friend, he could just maintain a normal attitude.
Most importantly, he could tell that Li Wensan and Chen Long were not actually close, and there must be other things involved.
"Please take your seats, everyone," someone said.
"Yes, Xiao Chen, let's quickly take our seats..." Han Buxin said enthusiastically.
Seeing these people's initial arrogance followed by deference, Chen Long couldn't help but force a bitter smile.
Perhaps this was reality, as real as it could get... Chen Long gestured for Han Buxin and the others to go ahead, while he walked with Xia Bingbing and Xia Honghai behind them.
"Chen Long... you've been hiding quite well! Li Wensan is actually your friend..." Xia Bingbing said in surprise.
"Heh heh..." Chen Long gave two self-deprecating laughs, then said, "Don't you know me? What do I have to hide?"
"To be honest, what happened today was too sudden. I couldn't react at all, and I can't understand why..."
Seeing that Chen Long wasn't lying, Xia Bingbing believed him.
"Regardless, this is a good thing for us," Xia Bingbing said.
Chen Long and Xia Honghai both nodded and then headed towards the venue.
At this moment, Han Buxin's original center position had been pushed to the edge of the first row.
Li Wensan and the District Governor were naturally in the very center.
"CEO Li, please take your seat!" Since Li Wensan was older, the District Governor invited him.
"Hmm..." Li Wensan was about to sit down when he suddenly remembered something. He stopped and said, "I think I still can't sit in this seat, because there's still someone who hasn't arrived!"
As soon as Li Wensan said this, everyone present exchanged bewildered glances.
"CEO Li, this seat is yours!"
"Besides you, CEO Li, who else is qualified for this seat?"
"Even if Er Ma came to our Jiang City, he would have to give face to you, Elder Li!"
"CEO Li, you are truly too humble. You are our senior and elder, so this seat should naturally be yours!"
Everyone complimented him.
"CEO Li, is there perhaps someone important who hasn't arrived yet?" the District Governor asked curiously.
"Yes, a very important person," Li Wensan said.
Hearing this, everyone was once again unsettled.
A very important person?
Could it be Er Ma from those two giant companies?
Probably not.
But who could it be?
This made people feel very strange.
"CEO Li, no matter who comes, this seat can only be yours..." Han Buxin also quickly seized the opportunity to flatter him.
"That's right, no matter who comes, they can't take CEO Li's seat!"
"Besides, there are many seats in the second row..." Wang Sanhu also said.
Li Wensan just smiled and shook his head, then said, "Just wait for him to arrive."
Han Buxin and Wang Sanhu exchanged glances, both feeling puzzled.
They were both on the edge, and if another person was added to the first row, one of them would have to sit in the second row.
The first row and the second row were completely different.
This could not be allowed to happen.
Just as everyone was wondering, two figures appeared in the event hall, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
After seeing the appearance of the person leading, Han Buxin and Wang Sanhu both frowned.
This young man was actually heading for the first row, truly lacking foresight.
"Kid, the first row is for important figures. Go sit in the last row..." Wang Sanhu said when the young man came next to him.
Unexpectedly, the young man completely ignored him and walked towards «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» the center.
Immediately, Wang Sanhu felt ignored. He snorted coldly and reached out a hand towards the young man...
